Dark Trap

Dark Trap
The last drop of light succumbed and the thick impenetrable darkness crawled in. This was my time to act. I crept out of my hiding place behind the large bushes and slithered along the fence until I reached the northern side of the house. I felt my way slowly and quietly, touching the rough surface with my trained hands, until I found an open window. With determination, I climbed through it and entered the house. It was dark and quiet but I could sense that I wasn't alone. My dark body was virtually invisible in the dim light. I took out a long wire and waited for my victim. I've done it so many times, but every time was almost as exciting and thrilling as the first time. My heart was pounding in my ears.

A woman's voice came from upstairs: "Honey, I think we left the window open, can you please go check?"

"Joe, can you please check if all the windows are closed? It's getting chilly!" Jenny said again when she got no response.

"Are you ignoring me?"

"I am in bed! What do you want?"

"Did you close the window?"

"I am sure I did, or maybe you did, for sure one of us closed it. It's not cold, I am sweating! Just come to bed, what's taking you so long? Why don't you go if you're worried so much?"

"I have to take off my makeup. Please!"

"I am reading, can't it wait? Let me just finish the page!"

"You are going to forget, or fall asleep. Why can't you just do as I ask when I ask? Why must everything be such a struggle!"

"I said that I'll do it later! You are such a controlling bitch!"

"Oh, you are such an asshole! Why do I have to do everything around here. What a jerk, I will do it myself! Why do I even bother asking you?" She started crying, opened the bathroom door and went to the bedroom door.

"OK I'll do it!"

"Don't do me any favors! I don't need your help. I don't need you! I've had enough! I want a divorce!"

"I said I will do it. Don't get crazy!"

"Go to hell!" she yelled and slammed the bedroom door.

I felt the vibration, all my senses awoke. The adrenaline streamed through my body. I stopped breathing and waited for the right moment to attack. I knew that timing was everything. If I missed the right moment, the victim could get away. It could also mean my life. I remembered sadly how my dad lost his in one moment of over confidence. Oh, I miss you, dad. You would be so proud of me if you only knew. I can kill twice as efficient as you ever could. Together we could be the perfect team. My limbs felt stiff from the long wait, I just hope that they won't let me down this time.

Jenni went down the stairs. The room was dark. She felt for the light, but then decided to leave it off, just in case someone looked through the window, she didn't want to give him a free thrill. I've had enough with that jerk, she thought. Why do I have to do everything around the house. How did I end up with such a loser. I was the queen of my class, I could've chosen anyone, and I fell for the biggest loser. He is not even that handsome anymore. I've had it, she muttered.

I moved at the speed of light,attacking my victim with full force, swiftly I injected the poison into its body to shorten the struggle. I stuck my teeth into the flesh and felt the sweetest sensation going through my body.

Joe heard a loud scream coming from downstairs. He rushed down as fast as he could, shambling in the dark, falling and tripping, until he reached his terrorized wife. He took me gently between his fingers and threw me out of the opened window.

"Look, the nice little spider got that disgusting fly. Why do you have to make such a fuss?"
