Attacked by Giant Spiders #ScienceFiction Snippet for #WeWriWa from Garnd Master's Game

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors. Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets.

Today, I’ll continue the wasp-spider attack scene from Grand Master’s Game. Last week’s snippet can be read here –

Something grabbed her arm. A large hand thrust a dagger into the monster’s eye, twisting deep into the head; a blood stained hand in a familiar black leather sleeve. Green blood spouted around the blade. The monster jerked and stilled, its jaws still clamped on her neck. Athanor’s grim face hovered over her startled eyes, his teeth bared in a fierce grimace. He grasped the ends of the horrid mandibles, gritted his teeth and exerted his full strength to open the jaws. 

Violet toppled onto Athanor’s knees. In the background, the stump of heavy footsteps preceded a shout of command and the zap of heavy weapons.

The cavalry had arrived, belatedly.
