'Pent up'
==============================================================================
6:22 P.M.
I stood in front of the large window inside me and Jace's shared bedroom, feeling the sweet scent of that cold, nighttime wind after I had just spent dinner telling Mom and Gramma my recent war story. Turns out both of them were equally as arachnophobic as I am and only Jace got to really eat his meal in relative peace.
The image of my arm slowly turning a mix of brown and grey remained fresh in my head, but no longer hits as hard after the comforting massage Jace had given me. A massage that not only made my tense body relax, but also ignited a special kind of warmth deep in my stomach, different from when he would just sexually harass me for his own amusement.
"He had a hard-on........." He definitely felt that warmth too, if that massive boner that I saw in his shorts was any indication.
An uncle that gets a hard-on from massaging his niece, he's hopeless. Even though I deliberately lowered my dress in an alluring manner for him, he's hopeless. Even though I kept looking back at him with a not-so-familial, inviting stare in my eyes, he's hopeless.
Hopeless, and a coward, pulling back like that when he had all the reason in the world to go through--
*Door suddenly flies open*
"Ma said she'll have an exterminator come over by tomorrow, since apparently not even splashing water into the cabinet works." Jace says to me as he barges into the room without so much as knocking.
"Haehh!? A-Ah, right. Knock when you're about to enter next time, dammit."
"Ehheh, my bad. How are you feeling right now, though?"
I looked away as soon as that question came out of him. "Y-Yeah, I'm alright. I think I'm going to bed early." I say to him before climbing on to the top bunk, unable to even look in his general direction. Perhaps sleep can help shed both the lingering shellshock and the ache I feel in my chest whenever Jace is close to me.
"Alright then, goodnight."
".....Goodnight."
Jace then turns the lights off right after I climbed up. I guess he too decided to hit the sack early tonight.
----------------------------------------------------------
9:46 P.M.
I laid there for longer than expected, even after what happened, but I eventually fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again it was still dark out, I looked underneath me at Jace's bunk to see if he was asleep, but he wasn't there.
"Ah, what? Where could he be at this hour?" I thought to myself as I got out of my top bunk to search for him around the house, he was bound to be somewhere, probably down in the living room playing games or something.
But my search was cut short, for when I opened the door to our bedroom, I was met with what I can only describe as my own personal Hell come to life. The hallway was covered in spider webs, from floor to ceiling, the moonlight from the windows making every strand of silk flicker in the darkness, and there were enough spiderlings crawling through the web to make the walls seem and feel alive.
"N-Nho, ohhh shit!! What the fuck....??" My pulse accelerated to unhealthy levels in an instant, so much so I could feel my own ribcage vibrating from how aggressively my heart was beating. Wherever Jace is I need to find him, and fast. We need to get out of here.
Without thinking I start rushing through the house, first checking Granma's bedroom, nothing, Ma's guest bedroom, also nothing. I run down the stairs, trying to avoid contact with the spiders as best I can and keeping myself from fainting on the spot from the horror unfurling around me.
"Jace, where the hell are you!?" I yell as I run down the stairs. The spiders downstairs are bigger, as big as my forearm, and fangs as long as my fingers. The further I went down, the more they didn't resemble any known species, more like horrific abominations that lurk in my deepest psyche. I go straight into the living room, and that's when I see it, a sight so terrifying it felt like my soul left my body as I screamed at the top of my lungs.
It was Jace, or rather, what was left of him... a 'spider' as big as the couch loomed over him, his twitching mutilated corpse, surrounded by the abomination's lesser brethren and spawn. Its fangs were buried in his skull and he had a gaping, bleeding hole from his chest, from which thousands of its creeping spiderlings were literally pouring out of, along with his entrails that looked like they've been ripped out to accommodate its unholy egg sac.
This thing had just used Jace as host for its children....
I collapsed to my knees and just sobbed, feeling any and all strength leave my body. I stared up the abomination that resembled a spider as it turned to face me, ready to claim me its next victim. I could see venom mixed with Jace's blood dripping from its fangs, its red eyes piercing into my very being. It lifted up one of its legs above me, a spindly appendage that couldn't have supported its body even with all eight of them working together, and with one swift motion it pierces me on the top of the skull, with the other end coming straight through my jugular.
"JACEEEEEE-- Acchhk!" I open my eyes and almost jump out of my bunk, hitting my head against the ceiling despite it being high enough for me to normally sit upright and not worry about such a thing occurring. I just sat there, knees against my chest, holding the back of my head from the pain and out of fear, breathing heavily in panic from the nightmare that I had just been victim to.
"What's all the commotion ab--" Jace said as he pulled himself halfway up to my bunk but interrupted himself. "Hey, you okay? What's wrong?"
He pulled himself all the way up and crawled over to me, without hesitation I laid my head on his shoulder and cried. "Aughh, J-Jace... I-I thought you had..."
Jace interrupted me, rubbing his hand on my head, "Ey, ey, calm down Issa, it's alright. Guess you had a nightmare, eh? What do you say to sleeping in my bunk for the night? Get your mind at ease and all that."
I just silently nodded with a sniffle, and he climbed halfway down the ladder to my bunk, gesturing me to come over to him. He then gently picked me up and carried me down from the top bunk and down to his. In that moment, probably from my soul-rending fear, him holding me made feel more safe than I had ever felt in my life, like a princess who had just been saved by a knight in shining armor. He laid me down on the bed first, then got in next to me, pulling the blanket over us.
"Night-night Issa, I'll see you in the morning." Jace said as he looked my in the eyes before softly pulling me into his chest, cuddling me as he himself fell asleep, and I did the same not even thirty seconds later as I nuzzled against his chest like a baby clutching to its mother.
----------------------------------------------------------
11:51 P.M.
I woke up to Jace on top of me, fondling my bare breast with my sundress pulled all the way down my thighs. He gestures me to be quiet, with a soft smile, but I wrapped my arms around my chest in shock, embarrassment, and anger.
"W-What the fuck are you doing....?? Is this why you--mmmh!" Jace interrupts my angry whispers by pulling me into a torrid, sloppy make-out complete with some tongue action that felt disgusting in my mouth. I push against him, grunting and pissed that he'd take advantage of me like this, and he pulls back still with the same crappy smile plastered on his face.
"Ah, my bad. I guess I was a little too forceful. Let's try that again."
