LARA IN PERIL

The Queen of Spiders

by BioDread

Lara Croft reached the Temple of the Spider Queen in the middle of the afternoon. The trek through the jungle had been tiring and hot, the humidity was intense, moisture clung to everything: overhanging leaves, bushes and wide, multi-colored jungle blossoms, and to Lara. The young, beautiful tomb raider licked sweat from her upper lip, perspiration ran freely down her bare legs, face, and graceful neck, there were dark stains beneath her heavy breasts and armpits, Lara's snug, green t-shirt clung to the sensual curves of her torso.

Lara blinked beneath the glaring light of the golden sun. She retrieved a water bottle from her small backpack and swallowed a mouthful of tepid liquid, she ran her inquisitive, brown eyes over the Spider Queen's temple.

The temple was a many-tiered ziggurat, very similar to most South American temples. Jade moss and enormous, thick vines cloaked the three-story stone structure, Lara could just barely make out inscriptions upon the weather-worn rock, scenes of titanic spiders hunting and consuming men, women, and children. A single open entrance faced Lara, it was a black tunnel, veiled by dangling, silver webs.

Lara took another mouthful of water before putting away her half-empty bottle. She drew the pistol resting over her right thigh with practiced smoothness, her short boots sank into the wet earth as she approached the gaping temple entrance. Lara stopped at the temple's threshold, she narrowed her eyes and peered into the dark depths, a light breeze whistled through the tunnel, the silver strands swayed gently from the ceiling. Lara wiped sweat out of her eyes before reaching into her small pack again, she withdrew a wide-lensed torch and flicked it on, a powerful, white beam played over the slightly angled walls. More inscriptions covered the tunnel's sides, scenes of sacrifices being offered to the giant spiders, women and children were wrapped in cocoons and dragged into the temple's heart to feed the Spider Queen and her progeny.

Lara brushed away the hanging gossamer with her left hand, webbing clung to her slender fingers as she walked into the tunnel, torch beam shifting from side to side. Lara left bootprints in the thick dust coating the stone floor, she wrinkled her nose at the shriveled bodies of mice and other small animals trapped in glittering white cocoons along the web-covered tunnel walls. The deeper Lara walked into the narrow passage, the mustier the air became. The breeze died, only the scuffing of Lara's boots broke the oppressive silence.

Lara stopped before another opening at the tunnel's end. She played her torch beam into the stygian void, the passage led into the temple proper, an enormous rectangular chamber draped in layer after layer of thick, silk webbing. Lara raised her eyes, she gasped involuntarily, a spider looked down upon her, mandibles jagged and open, a dozen crimson eyes gazing at her hungrily. Lara sighed deeply when she realized the peering spider was made of stone, the glowing eyes were tiny rubies set into the sculpture. Above the stone sentry was another inscription, a large one, this scene depicting the Spider Queen straddling an altar, her mandibles digging into a victim's bowels.

Lara swallowed bile as she gazed at the horrible scene, her blood turned to ice, an invisible hand clutched her pounding heart.

The young woman narrowed her eyes and pressed her lips together. She cautiously stepped into the web-filled chamber, the sheets of gossamer glittering like a star-filled sky when Lara's torch beam washed across them. Clouds of dust rose with every fall of Lara's boots, Lara sniffled and wiped her nose, her nostrils itched, her eyes became watery. Lara sliced through the heavy webbing with her torch, the silk parted easily, the webbing was brittle with age. After fifty feet Lara broke through the last veil of gossamer and reached the foot of the Spider Queen's altar, the table of obsidian rested atop a jade dais, the smooth, rising steps were caked in glittering dust. Lara climbed the steps of the dais, the soles of her boots crunched upon the grit, she held her light to the altar, it was black and free of filth, it gleamed as if freshly polished.

Lara ascended to the top of the wide dais, she examined the altar's surface, it was smooth as glass, the obsidian seemed to drink her torch beam.

Lara's brown eyes widened when she noticed the reflection of a large spider behind her, descending quietly upon a single silk strand, its hairy legs twitching as it gazed at her with half a dozen bright, glittering eyes. Lara spinned and fired her pistol. The crack of the discharging gun roared in Lara's ears, she crashed back into the altar as the dog-sized spider lunged at her, wet mandibles dripping with poisonous saliva. The pistol's bullet severed one furry limb, green blood gushed over Lara's belly, she bent over backwards onto the altar's top, the bleeding spider clinging to her shoulders, hairy limbs enfolding her just above the waist.

Gasping, Lara tried to shove the enormous spider off of her. The brown-furred arachnid hissed, it shifted its severed leg, green ichor splashed over Lara's pumping breasts. Panic filled Lara while she struggled with the drooling spider, over the creature's bloated body she saw more large spiders descending on silk lines.

The distraction of the landing spiders proved fatal for the young woman. The arachnid sitting on Lara's heaving stomach bit into the crook of her right shoulder, Lara whimpered as numbing cold spread from the bite down her right arm. Lara twitched beneath the crouched spider, her numb arm fell onto the altar, her pistol slipped from nerveless fingers. Lara moaned when she felt furry limbs caressing her long legs, more fangs pierced her flesh, poison flooded her veins, Lara's legs buckled and folded.

Lara fell heavily onto the jade floor. The torch rolled away, darkness dropped over the paralyzed young woman. Lara struggled to breathe, her lungs were freezing, she could barely feel her toes and fingers. A spider's face filled Lara's blurry sight, she was mesmerised by its dozen scarlet eyes, the creature's mandibles worked furiously, it slowly drew closer, it gently bit into Lara's tender neck, she gasped softly as the spider's fangs dug into her skin, injecting icy cold into her sluggish bloodstream.

Lara's eyelids fluttered, her eyes were rolled up, the whites gleamed in the faint torchlight. She could faintly feel furry limbs all over her body, tugging...probing her. Lara blinked, she was still paralyzed, but the numbness was slowly fading, she could feel the dank cold of the temple's heart, and she could feel the spiders.

Five enormous, brown spiders stood over Lara, ripping away her clothes, drooling over her pale white flesh. The giant spiders had managed to raise Lara back onto the altar, she was stretched out upon the obsidian slab, arms at her sides but slightly outspread, long legs bare and white. When Lara was completely naked, two spiders hopped off the altar, three dropped thick rivulets of sticky gossamer from their rectums, they scuttled across Lara at her calves, waist, and wrists, disappearing down the left side of the altar slab, then re-appearing on the right, crossing over Lara over and over, binding her to the black stone. Lara tried to sit up, she attempted to break the webs across her wrists and calves, but her limbs never budged, the spiders' poison still flowed thickly in her veins.

A hairy, brown spider twice the size of the previous arachnids appeared over the foot of the altar. It slowly crawled between Lara's bare feet, its dozen eyes burned bright crimson, its black mandibles flexed and dripped green goo. Lara sobbed, her bare breasts rose and fell quickly, tears gleamed at the corners of her wide, brown eyes. The huge spider drooled over Lara's bound legs, its thick, furry limbs caressed her skin as it crawled up to her crotch. The arachnid lowered its bloated body onto Lara's thighs, slime poured over the naked woman's flesh, she shuddered when she felt the spider's fat sex, an ugly, pink thing that gleamed with ichor and dripped with arachnid seed.

The male spider slid over Lara's smooth stomach, its mandibles raked over her belly button, saliva splattered over Lara while the arachnid's member slowly pried into her pussy, the shaft moist and throbbing, its engorged head oozing continuously. The large spider's furry legs tightened around Lara's belly, it began flexing its bloated, brown abdomen, shoving its sex deep into Lara's vagina. Lara squeezed her weeping eyes shut, her mouth hung open, she panted as the spider impaled her again and again. As it humped between Lara's pale thighs, the spider extended its forelegs, it rubbed the tips of Lara's shuddering breasts, it encircled the naked woman's nipples until they were swollen and pink. Lara's buttocks slid over the smooth obsidian stone, her web-bound legs shivered as slime and semen poured between her thighs, pooling underneath her. The male spider rode Lara for a long time, its sex bulging inside her, bloating more and more until it finally popped, squirting spider seed into the naked, young woman's belly.

Raking its coarse, fuzzy forelegs across Lara's swelling tits, the male spider climbed off Lara's stomach and dismounted the altar slab. Lara ran her tongue over her dry lips, her body was feverish, sweat gleamed upon her, her crotch was drenched with sticky fluids. Lara's eyes began to roll back again, her head turned to the side, her pale limbs were slack beneath their silken bonds.

Lara groaned. She was hot, the air was humid, as if she was passing through the jungle once more. Lara pried her heavy eyelids open, gossamer was everywhere, she was suspended in it, tendrils of sticky white silk clung to her wrists, stomach, and legs. Lara moaned weakly, her belly was on fire, fever still raged through her, sweat soaked her naked flesh. Lara realized she was surrounded by basketball-sized pods of webbing, they shifted every once in awhile, when they did Lara's breath caught in her parched throat.

A heavy, rasping breath drew Lara's eyes. She looked up into the dark vault above, something moved in the darkness, it was enormous, it was as large as the domed ceiling, its legs were as thick as tree trunks, it had a cluster of over twenty scarlet eyes, their blood-red glow illuminated Lara's stunned face.

The Queen of Spiders hung over Lara, one trunk-sized limb stroked the naked young woman from crotch to throat, slipping between Lara's heavy, sweat-soaked breasts. The Spider Queen's fur was warm and soft, Lara sighed from the huge creature's caress, then a sound broke the Queen's beguilement, one of the silk pods had cracked.

A baby brown spider struggled out of its pod, glistening with gossamer and slime. Mandibles working furiously, the little spider began crawling towards Lara, tiny eyes bright and intent. More pods started to break, soon a dozen baby spiders were descending on trembling threads, converging on Lara's naked, silk-wrapped body.

The Queen of Spiders looked down upon her emerging brood, she continued to stroke Lara's body until her children began to feed.
