Event Private Something to Take the Edge Off

Kill.... Murder.... Maim... Destroy

These were the simple motives that drove Phaedra. All rational thought had slipped away, leaving in its wake a never-ending lust for death. When the night had started out, Phaedra and Pandora had opted to help some locals get to safety, but the younger spider had gotten caught up in the killing. Before long she had yielded entirely to her urges and had taken off into the night to end as many lives as she possibly could.

She had spent much of her time, moving between the school, and the hospital looking for people or monsters that were either alone or in small groups. Staying close to the food is what her mother had called it.

As the night went on, Phaedra had killed what felt like dozens of beasts, tearing them to shreds and leaving nothing but red streaks on the pavement. In the process, her spider form had been severely damaged. Her Abdomen and many legs had been rather badly wounded resulting in a lot of potential blood loss. Or at least it would have if she hadn't switched to her human form. While it was weaker, it was not hemorrhaging vital fluids.

As the sun came up, Phaedra had been stalking through an Alley, when she caught sight of single creature skulking about. It looked as though it were a harpy, however instead of feathers it had thing wings consisting of skin like membranes. Its skin was sickly white, and its black featureless face seemed to have only a mouth, lined with razor-sharp teeth. The Dark Harpy crawled along using its wings as if they were front legs. It made a sickly gurgle with every breath.

Phaedra followed it for a few moments, staying back to the shadows, far enough to avoid detection, but close enough to lunge at the first opportunity she could.

This opportunity eventually presented itself when the dark Harpy turned to head out to the street. In a flash Phaedra lept into action, jumping onto the creatures back, and plunging her already bloodstained fingers deeply into its back. It shrieked in pain, throwing its head back in the process. Phaedra responded to these cries for help quickly, snapping forward to close her jaws around the throat of the creature, tearing out its soft flesh with ease.

Phaedra proceeded to drag the creature deeper into the alley, while it rasped in an attempt to scream. In an attempt to escape it flailed its wings, slashing at her with its sharpened claw. Phaedra, in turn, proceeded to shred the thin membranes and snap the frail bones that made up the wing, effectively rendering them useless. Again the creature tried to scream, but only managed to gurgle as blood poured from the wound in its throat.

It was at this point that Phaedra began to eat the creature, digging her claws into its soft midsection and tearing out pieces of flesh, shoving them hungrily into her mouth. She would proceed to tear out pieces of it until a voice called out to her.

"Phaedra!"

She froze, sitting up straight with her back to Dalia. Her instincts told her to attack, to turn and attack, kill the intruder, and eat. But somehow the voice was familiar. It was like a light in the darkness. It didn't belong to another meal. It belonged to someone.

Slowly Phaedra turned around to look at her sister. Her eyes were sharp and red. Blood dripped from her, mouth, and as she closed it, a distinct an audible crunch could be heard as she chewed up a piece of bone. A low growl escaped her throat while she sat staring at the intruding spiderling.

Kill... Murder.... Maim... Destroy...

Her instincts were simple. they demanded blood. But for some reason, she didn't want to kill this one. Not now, not ever.

The growl remained low, loud enough to sound threatening, but nothing more. Phaedra would go on to grab the creatures leg and pull it further into the alley, pulling its body into a door frame where she would begin to eat it again. Its rasping gurgles, harmonizing with the low growl still coming from Phaedra.

Phaedra continued to growl as she tore another handful of flesh from the monster. It continued to gurgle, though its struggling had weakened considerably. It was such a horrible scene, like something out of a movie or a violent video game. It was almost surreal in its own way.

Phaedra growled louder from her throat as she watched Dalia approaching her. The younger spiderling was talking now, using words that didn't seem to have meaning while at the same time were directed at her anyway. It was strange that she was approaching her like this, and for a moment it perplexed Phaedra, but her confusion quickly passed and replaced with defensiveness.

As Dalia got closer Phaedra placed her and on the face of the monster in front of her. it ,ad a fresh gurgle, before she twisted her hand sharply, forcing its head to the side and violently snapping its neck. It struggled a moment, tensing before going limp and silent. She Was leaning forward, over its body now, poised to strike at Dalia if she got any closer. Strangely enough, despite her instincts, she had not attacked the young girl yet.

Still Phaedra continued to growl, deeper now, louder than before. All of this, the killing of the beast, the growling, the positioning, it was all a threat display. She wanted to intimidate Dalia, force her to leave before something bad happened.

Phaedra reared back, and let out a scream. It wasn't like a normal scream that someone might do when distressed, instead, this was something far worse. It was as if she were in excruciating pain, that had long since driven her to madness. It was louder and harder than she had ever screamed before.

As she came back down she fell onto her back, with Dalia on top of her. She flailed wildly screaming like a woman possessed. Her claws tearing at Dalia's back in an attempt to free herself from her sister's grip.

After a few moments her struggling weakened, and the screaming began to quiet down. Eventually, the struggling and flailing stopped altogether, and the screaming settled down into a quiet sobbing. The urges to kill and maim quieted down. She was coming back into her own mind.

Slowly the sobbing began to intensify as she wrapped her arms around Dalia squeezing her tightly. "I don't want to go" She sobbed loudly burying her face in Dalia.
