my small legs pushed me under the bed, and i could clarely hear how Georgio sighed in surprise. under his breath, i could even hear him mumbeling "goddamn it". i made my way as far under the bed as i could, and i could no longer be seen from outside the bed. Georgio took a few heavy steps toward the girls bed, and stopped. he took a few breaths, and the girl sat up, probobly staring at him. i let my body fall silently to the floor as i focused on listening. "so? why were you talking to the monster?" her voice cracked and it sounded like a dry whisper, yet it was clear enugh for me to hear. ´wait what´ "wait, wait, wait, you know?"
Georgio took a questioning tone, asking her while being uneccesaraly cryptic. "know what?" Georgio seemed to steel his voice, as he once again asked her "do you know that he is under my bed?...". "oh, yes. of course i do, its been staring at me for a while now." i shivered as i hear her quivering voice. ´holy shit she knows im here´ "... welp, no reason for you to hide then... come on out spidey..."
i jumped slightly as he told me to come out. after a moment of panic, i calmed down. my light legs dragged out my tired body, and i felt the warm rays of the sun hit my golden carpace. "!!" once again, i saw the girl. only now, her tired eyes were completely fixed on me, and they were wide open. her pupils were shaking left and right, which made me both confused and slightly scared. ´whoa, how the fuck can she do that...´ "well, here he is." Georgio pointed at me, and i showed my entire body to her frozen face. only now did i see how her eyes had taken a murky white colour. ´wait, did she?...´
she fell back, her light, thin body falling down into her fluffy bed. Georgio ran up to her, and started trying to wake her up. "whoa, h-hey?! wake up!" he lightly tapped her cheek, and she suddently rose to her feet. her body was wrapped in a blue, dotted gown, just like the one Georgio has. her thin body swayed slightly as she bent down before me. ´flat as a board...´ her eyes pierced deep into mine, and she sighned deeply. "well, would you look at that. guess the monster really did exist. nice to meet you monster, i am Viola." she hastly grabbed one of my tender legs, and shook it. ´owowowowow! hey, Viola, was it?!´ i pulled back my leg, and Georgio came and sat down next to me. "no no no, this is no monster. this is Spidey. and my name is George. nice to meet you, Viola." he grabbed her hand, an shook it violently. probobly revenge for nearly tearing my arm off.
i sat down as well. we were now sitting in some sort of tiny cirkle next to Georgios bed. ´huh. what a wierd combo. a man, a woman, and a giant spider, aka, me.´ i tapped the floor in a tempo, a little nervous. i had shown my ugly mug to Phil, but this Violet would most likely not die from fire. niether Georgio not Viola seemed to have anything to say. i waved my arm in the air, and jokingly said ´and so, i welcome you all to the midnight society, hu hu´ nobody moved, and nobody said a thing. after a few minutes of silence, there was a knock on the door. "knock knock knock" i hurridly his myself under the bed, and the door pushed open. the nurse who was there before peaked in. "its time for lunch!" she said and pushed in a trolley.

i couldnt really see what was on it, so instead of trying to understand everything, i nstead fell asleep in my nest.
after i had slept for quite a while, Georgio awoke me. "hey, spidey, we can go now, the wound was really small, and will probobly heal after about a few weeks. and its already been three days. so were free to go!" ´huh, good, man... wait, whatdoja mean three days??´ i ran out of the bed, confused as all hell. apparently, i had somehow slept for three days straight. ´why didnt you wake me up??´ i wiggled my legs, and he scrached his neck. "if youre wondering why i didnt wake you up... well, you were just so cute when you were sleeping <3" i could almost see the heart escaping his head.
´wait, getting in here was no small feat, how do you suppose ill escape? huh, riddle me that!´ i pointed at the door, asking him a bit angry. "oh, that? yes yes, we will leave... just lemmi put on my clothes. ´goddamn, ok, look.´ i first pointed at me, then the door. "hm? what is i, ooohh... well, ive been thinking of that the past days." he then pointed at Viola. only now did i notice that she was up as well. she was wearing baggy trousers, and she was wearing a black T-shirt. it did not look like something a beautifoul girl should wear, but whatever. it seemed really comfortable, and i got a bit jealous that i culdnt wear such comfty clothes. on her back, she wore a camoflged green backpack. it was rather large, big enugh to fit me. in her hands, she was holding a white book. on the front, a few large numbers were in different sizes, but same black colour. in every hole, on the nine, the eight, and the four, there was an eye. it looked omnious, and all together, they spelled out ´1984...?´. she sat down her back, and pointed at me. she then pointed her thin finger at the open bag.
´wait, you want me to go in there? no way man!´ "he can understand speech, you know?" he smugly crossed his arms as he grinned trimphantly. before i could even attempt to run, he picked me up. his large hands were grabbing my sides, and i held on for dear life. before i could escape, he had already stuffed me into the cloth filled bag. he zipped the bag, and soon enugh it was all dark.
