Event Private Finished Caught in a Sticky Situation

Henghai was certain she was trying to protect him now. The realization felt like a knife to his heart. The bittersweet feeling of the spider trying to defend him but continued holding him captive left him unaware of the state his tree was in until it was too late. Now it was useless, and with the girl taking him away from the area, it would have been more trouble than it was worth to try to get the tree free. All the plants around went back to normal, with any sense of them being humanoids and somewhat conscious disappearing. More minions could be made later, but for now, he needed to rest his magic or he would do more harm to himself than good.

Being upside down, constantly moved, and threatened with the possibility of being dropped all factored into Henghai's increasing vertigo. All he wanted was for her to stop moving, even if it was just for a few seconds. That would have given him enough time to spot a small tree to animate and send towards her. Before he did anything rash, he waited for where she would take her. Her fear of his plants could be exploited. Already, an idea was coming to his mind. It was a weak one, but that was to be expected with his dizziness. They were still far out here in the woods, so someone must be nearby. A werewolf in the middle of their hunt, a vampire hanging out in the trees, the Afolabi-Soies, and other forest residents all sounded likely. He could scream out for help and use his plants as a distraction as she fought them off or moved him further out where people would be around. Someone [I]had[/I] to be able to hear him, and with the people on the island, it was not improbable that someone would be curious enough to check out the yelling.

At least, Henghai was freed from the sickening sensation of being carried around like a sack. Even better, the spider looked to be settling down. So much so that soon after Henghai began to figure out what she was doing, he was set free, standing awkwardly in front of her in shock. He gave her a curious look, unsure if he was supposed to run away now or if that was too risky of a move.

Running away sounded like the best choice. He had the advantage now, and if worse came to worse, he could bring out his minions again and send out a screech for help. With his agility and flexibility, he moved up the trees quickly, hiding within the leaves easily. Like a true predator, he was stealthy and quiet as he made his way through the woods, trying to get as close to civilization as possible. With the rate he was going, he would not be far off for long. When he got out, he made sure he would speak to someone about his encounter. The authorities would like to know about this. The spider had no way to communicate, leading to this whole misunderstanding. He had to help somehow, even if it made more sense for him to want to attack her or run away as far as possible and forget this whole encounter. If her intent was to hurt him, she failed miserably at it. Henghai needed to know what she was thinking when she took her, and even better, how he got to her home in the first place.

Henghai was sure it was a trap, but he made it back to where people roamed the streets with nothing getting in his way. From what he could tell, the spider girl did not leave her area, but she did not get closer either. If only there were some way to get a tracker, find her, tag her with it, then flee with no complications. That just gave her another chance to capture him permanently. For now, all was well. This could be continued later when he was more relaxed and could better think of what to do. Going back home, he imagined how relaxing it would be to get some coffee, take a warm bath, and read a book.
