The ring was said to have belonged to a great enchantress thousands of years ago. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenmLZiyGeD
It was stolen by one of Delancey's ancestors for his wife. He was dying of some unknown disease and the ring was meant as something to remember him by, but he unwittingly left her so much more. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9nIgMMsf3
The ring was not only immensely beautiful but also tremendously powerful. It gave the young widow power's she could never have otherwise imagined and she struggled to learn how to control them. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ubBJHARn
When she found out she was pregnant, she was devastated. How could she raise a child and protect that same child from her true identity? So, she made a choice. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSiNjqbIKc
Delancey was the tenth Black Widow, which was the name given to a girl born to the ring-bearer. When she turned eighteen, she would inherit the ring from her mother and take on the powers bestowed by the ring. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ug9ki9jE
She would develop a quick and agile style of movement as well as an incredible predator's eye. Her deadliest weapon however and the one which gave her the name of the Black Widow was the ability to call upon spiders for help.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVBFSK9gYH
There was only one problem; Delancey was terrified of spiders. Nobody knew but Delancey herself and she intended to keep it that way. If anyone found out the consequences could be disastrous. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWmk26uK1U
There was no particular ceremony to the passing over of the ring. Delancey's mother simply put it in a jewellery box and wrapped it up. When Delancey slipped on the ring she expected to feel something. She expected to feel some kind of sensation, as if something was igniting within her, but she felt nothing.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLaGWlCSXW
As the party wore on, Delancey became increasingly agitated. At around midnight she decided to take a walk and hoped it would run off some steam. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMKfP2a6LY
She walked down the sidewalk with ease despite the heels she wore and soon she found herself in a lesser known part of town. The crushing of leaf underfoot caused Delancey to gasp; she was being followed. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IjFVPeXi8
Following her instincts, she span around and dropped to the ground. She looked up and saw a tall, burly man staring back at her. His feet were set wide apart and his fists were clenched.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXMCiZ2O82
"Delancey doll, it's nice to see you again," he drawled. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WcnXq3xO8
Delancey rose to her feet slowly and deliberately. "I don't know who you are, but I don't appreciate being followed," she murmured. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn7HrlLj24
"You don't remember me?" he asked, feigning hurt as he place a hand over his heart. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoCpxJOwTg
"What do you want?" 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiLAvF5GpO
"What do I want doll? Your ring, that's what I want," he said, taking a step towards her. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrATARN5Hvt
She launched herself at him, landing with her feet planted firmly against his chest. He toppled over and hit the ground with a thud. He grabbed her ankles, flipping her over. He moved his fist to send a blow to her cheek but she caught his fist, forcing his arm backwards. He screamed in agony as a loud crack was heard.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0cqwjrNIe
"My arm!" he howled, as he drew a knife from his pocket. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l9yvSO46d
Delancey froze, she'd never been taught how to deal with assailants carrying knives. Guns were easy enough to deal with; you could easily kick a gun out of someone's hand, but knives were another story. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQKePuVHt3
She took a deep breath, as her index finger reached for the ring. He was fumbling around, trying to grow accustomed to holding the knife in his left hand. Suddenly, he let out a high pitched scream and fell away from her. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMx6W4ZZVF
She too held back a scream, shuddering, as a mass of spiders crawled over his seemingly lifeless body. She scrambled backwards, but they moved over the man and continued towards her. She wanted to tear the ring off and run but she couldn't; she was rooted to the spot. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTXPJz5zH3
As each spider found it's way onto her body however, she became more and more relaxed. The crawling creatures no longer bothered her and she knew from then on that she need not be afraid. 1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6bPj94pia
She was a Black Widow and she would stand and fight.1129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aG39iqv1f
