Lucas laughed as he thought of his brothers reaction to the picture. But he wasn´t finished drawing, so he took the black crayon again and gave his brothers face an update. First he draw some clutch-like mouth parts in the place between his brothers nose and mouth, thereby drawing over his nose completely, then added six grey dots, resembling extra eyes to the side of the original ones, while covering them grey as well to fit with the new ones.
He giggled again.

It took me a bit to get over it. I was still horrified, but it didn´t help me just standing or laying there. I then realized I could lift all eight thin legs again, and together they could lift my body a bit, even when they were shaking under the weight. Slowly I moved towards the door, only to notice that I must find a way to open it without hands or feet. The problem was I couldn´t lift my former arms to the height oft he handle, as my body was still normal and therefore to heavy for only seven legs. And my head was to low too, so I couldn´t use my mouth or chin to get the door open. I cursed the spider legs again. I was trapped in my own room, nobody could hear me scream or someone would have come earlier. I could only hope Lucas would come through, as we were alone for the weekend.
That was when the tugging returned, this time in my nose. I looked cross-eyed as it split into two separate parts, which got longer in front of me while also moving down on my face, nearer towards my mouth. At first I had no idea what had happened with my nose, but I realized that I could move this new thing like my limbs, but mostly horizontal to my mouth. That was when it hit me, many spiders had mouth parts, and so had I now.
I freaked out again, only to stop shocked at the tickling feeling beside my eyes, expanding to them as well. „Not my eyes“ I screamed, but could do nothing as my sight field expanded to the sides. I also gained a slight grey tint in my vision, darkening my whole world a bit. I would have cried, but this changed eyes had no lacrimal glands to shed tears from, and no eye lids to close them, so I was forced to watch on, again screaming in horror.
