Snippet #1397620

Spider shook her head insistantly.
"She will not travel with you, she will travel alone." She said to Snake.
At the sound of footsteps, Spider turned to face Wolf.
She was intending to respond to him when he said he had killed the Southern Prince. Although there was no outside indication, something inside her snapped. The Southern Prince... Abel... He had always been the most affectionate towards her, the more caring of the two brothers... NO! Not her, the princess! She was Spider, Rayne was dead!
Then her reason set in.
"She doesn't think you have Wolf." Spider said slowly, raising an eyebrow at him. "None of us have ever taken a job without first going to check exactly what is required of us, and with you being the most scholarly and intelligent of us all she knows that you would have gone to see your chosen prince first. She saw you head South earlier and the time period was not long enough for you to change direction, gain your information and kill the other prince. You are not that stupid, but she cannot figure out why you would wish to decieve us."
With that she looked back at the other two.
"You had better go, before Wolf takes all for himself. She will meet you in the village of Terranthia when you have completed your task, she will find other work to occupy her."
