The ring was said to have belonged to a great enchantress thousands of years ago. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcVkA2oXjQ
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSH92J27UK
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxdt47Q5I5
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl14SBADZlE
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpNOBTJ6cb
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.1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TJW0UqpoU
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmBSqRUMGZ
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.1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZpEeyvmlD
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ99hIaPDWu
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXexGc5NjSi
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.1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TWcvL9bc0
"Delancey doll, it's nice to see you again," he drawled. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbg5XZyEO8
Delancey rose to her feet slowly and deliberately. "I don't know who you are, but I don't appreciate being followed," she murmured. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yMa1nX7FI
"You don't remember me?" he asked, feigning hurt as he place a hand over his heart. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8omGttVXvg
"What do you want?" 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN964MoSOJ
"What do I want doll? Your ring, that's what I want," he said, taking a step towards her. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimYZ9xHQo1
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.1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2IcmLo9rN
"My arm!" he howled, as he drew a knife from his pocket. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjiPf18Q82
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb33fTwdhTx
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukoSHlgAhs
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw1GJapwgx
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. 1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHv6hmoIWR
She was a Black Widow and she would stand and fight.1164Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OIUHXdgFi
