The Spider-Clan

Thwip!

Before Lara knew it, the dinosaurs had been restrained by... webs? Lara felt a wave of dread. Dinosaurs were one thing, but giant spiders? What, exactly, had she gotten herself into?

She turned to see that the webbing didn't come from spiders, but from four very attractive women, who were gesturing towards her and speaking in a language she couldn't really understand. One was an extremely stunning redhead, Another was busty platinum-haired fox, the third a pretty asian woman, and the fourth a blonde wearing a hairband on her head. They were all wearing loincloth bikinis - three of them had spiderweb designs, while the white-haired woman wore a black bikini trimmed with white fur.

"Thank you," Lara attempted to convey to the women. "My name is Lara. La-Ra."

"La-Ra?" The redhead asked.

"Yes. La-Ra."

The four women gestured to Lara, and she quickly deduced that they wanted her to follow them. She nodded in agreement, and a short trek later, she arrived at what looked to be a small settlement. There were several huts, each seemingly serving the purpose of a room in a house - a kitchen, a bathroom, a den, and so forth. Lara couldn't help but notice, however, that there was only one hut that served as a bedroom -- and furthermore, there was only one bed in the hut, albeit a very large one. Do they all sleep in one bed? Lara wondered to herself, feeling a pang of sexual excitement as she mused over the possibility. The women were once again gesturing her to follow them, though, so she filed the thought at the back of her mind, tossed her knapsack in the corner of the room and once again followed the four ladies.

They led her to a pedestal in a cave, where a stone lay. The tribal women gestured for her to touch the stone, and Lara approached the pedestal and placed her hand on it.

Words and sounds flashed through Lara's mind. It was... intense. Lara dropped to her knees, overwhelmed at first, but eventually able to process the information that had registered in her mind. As her vision and hearing both came back into focus, she heard the blonde repeating a word.

"Cipher."

"Cipher."

It was then that Lara realized what the stone was. "That was a cipher?" she asked.

"That's right. Now you can understand us, and we can understand you," the blonde clarified.

"Well, that should come in handy," Lara responded. Once, again, my name is Lara," she said, reintroducing herself, extending her hand.

"It's nice to meet you, La-Ra, I'm G'wen, and this is Cin-dy, M'ary-J'ain, and F'li-sha," the blonde said, as Lara shook hands with her rescuers. "We are the Spider-Clan."

"I really should thank you for rescuing me," Lara said gratefully.

"Think nothing of it. We consider it our responsibility," Gwen answered, smiling. "Besides, if the oracles are to be believed, keeping you alive might be more important than you know."

Lara curiously raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"

"It's not my place to tell you everything, but you are an outsider. The Savage Land rarely lets outsiders in. For you to be allowed to cross the forbidden jungle, you must be extremely important to the savage land."

Lara found herself pondering the situation. It sounded like this was going be a bigger adventure than even she thought.

"For now though, try to relax and regain your strength," M'ary-J'ain requested. "And know you are among friends here, and that you may stay with us for as long as you choose."

"Thank you," Lara said, smiling. After dealing with the forbidden jungle and the close encounter with the deinonychus, it was nice to have some shelter beyond a simple makeshift camp.

The spider-clan helped Lara set up a place to sleep, and they spent the rest of the day getting to know each other. Lara became fast friends with the four other women. She was amazed at how fast she had formed a connection with them; Lara had taken much longer to form bonds with people in the civilized world, let alone tribal natives. They talked for hours, Lara telling them about the outside world, and MJ, Cin-dy, F'li-sha & G'wen sharing their knowledge of the Savage Land. Eventually, they all retired to their sleeping quarters. Lara stripped out of her clothes -- it was quite hot, so it made sense to sleep in the nude -- and fell asleep.

Lara woke shortly after, hearing sounds emanating from the bedroom hut. Grunting, groaning... was there a struggle going on? She immediately leapt to her feet and ran to the hut, ready to help the Spider-Clan fight off whatever attackers might have been there.

She was not, however, ready for the sight that greeted her as she cracked open the door. MJ, F'li-sha, Cin-dy & G'wen. Naked. Writhing. Entangled. Kissing. Licking. Fingering.

Lara froze. She was captivated by the sight of the four women having sex. She felt her nipples harden and noticed she was also pretty wet watching this. A small part of her brain told her to get out of there. And although she intended to listen to that voice, she felt herself getting lightheaded and worried that if she moved, she'd topple in the wrong direction, stumbling into the room and revealing herself to the Spider-Clan.

She breathed deeply, and took a step.
