Bind the Spider Tightly

A bit more than a few screws had been lost within the being known as Nathan Washi; to say that he was not quite a full 'person' would not be wholly inaccurate. His sanity had crumbled to the point where for him, to be able to feel things as objects was enough to suffice. The functions of higher thinking- the significance of things, the possibilities of what certain things might do, risk, consequence… these functions were frozen within the male's mind.

His skinniness did not necessarily have to do with a lack of food, either. Rather, it was the fact that he was a Washi; these men were naturally extraordinarily skinny simply by virtue of their genetics. Food had been scarce, for certain, but it had been enough to satisfy the male's feelings of hunger. However, what it did that was totally unexpected was the intelligent beings he had consumed; the human souls… he had eaten them without purpose… but they had still stained him, tainted the being inside of him known as Flightwire, causing even the male's crutch to lose its grip on sanity.

Suddenly, he felt himself being hugged, and it was… strange. His hands tightly gripped her back out of reflex, and for just an instant his mouth opened as if to rip out her throat, before pausing, suddenly confused. ...Not… food…? He wondered to himself as she told him he had done a good job. ...Good… job…? Slowly, the processes of thought were returning to the man once known as Nathan Washi, albeit slowly. "Hunting… food…" His saliva would gently drip onto her neck as he spoke the words, understanding their meaning if nothing else.

He felt her binding his eyes, but that was fine, as he had not been using them regardless. The cloth felt strange against his face as he wrapped it around it with his hands. "...Eyes…" He muttered. "...Comfort…?" He said the word as if it were foreign, a stranger. "Out of… here…?" He asked, before for the first time a look of… fear crossed his expression. "Scary...out there… Scary… " He whimpered aloud, before feeling that this was indeed the path that she wished to take.

"...But...death...fear…. Hate… sadness...those are outside… here I can see them...out there… they're invisible… they catch me… they torture me… Uh…" He was nearly in tears as he felt that that was still her will, and that he would have to end up going out there. His arms were still wrapped around her as his extra limbs pulled her onto his back, his hands grabbing the walls as he began to go upwards. "Ah...uu...uuu…." He gave small whimpers of fear as they ascended upwards and upwards, feeling the light beginning to approach, his heart rate accelerating as he covered his head with his hands, before finally they emerged in the daylight.

"The outside… that's right… I remember… I… Remember… It…. It stole her… From me… it stole Logan… away forever…" His voice slowly drifted off into nothingness as tears dripped down from his expression once more, though this time it was accompanied by an expression that was an understanding which completely and totally understood why it was sad. "UWAAAAAH!!"

The depths of the male's despair were let loose like floodgates as waves of pure force exploded outwards from his body, rockets firing from his body as they shot into the air before violently exploding, before finally his body began changing. His despair was being released at last, allowing it to be resolved with his sadness and rage, his wailing turning into screaming as he gripped his head with both hands, leaning forwards as he gripped Aceldama tightly against his back, reduced to panting as he continued to let out more noise.

"JUSTIN!"
"ALEX!"
"COLIN!"
"BRIAN!"
"STEFAN!"
"LOGAN!"
"FLIIIIIIGHTWIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!!!!!!!"

The names left his lips as he cried, his voice getting louder and louder before finally his body crumpled, his spider-like body vanishing at last as now Acel would be covered in a soft feeling… and now, her body was covered in white wings that covered her from both sides, wrapping gently around her body as he bit into his lip so hard that blood fell down, staining the inside of his mouth as the taste of iron entered him, the ground being stained with his life as he finally fell asleep, waiting now, his head, his lips, throat, body and heart so numb...
