Deep in the jungle there lived girl cub by the name of Anika. She was 16 years old with black hair at a medium length, tanned skin, 5’4, and she wears a dark red bikini.
She was raised by the wolf pack from infancy to young adulthood. She was a proud wolf but not so proud that she would be cruel to others. Anika had a kind and bold heart. Anika had many friends in the jungle, including one of a very... peculiar nature.
It was late afternoon when Anika was out running through the jungle. Little did she realize just how close one of her friends were.

A part of the jungle where the trees grew to massive heights and close to a cave in the mountain, was the home territory of that very person. One who goes by the name Arca. She was known as a predator but only if you judge one by their looks. For she was good at heart. Arac was a being known as Arachne. A hybrid of sorts. She had a human torso and head with short silver hair that just reached her chin. At her waist down was the abdomen of a spider. Eight legs and all. The only clothing she had on was a leaf cover for her chest sew together with her own silk.

Anika was still until she finally had to stop and catch her breath. Well, even the mightiest of us can get a little winded sometimes.
The jungle girl realized that she was in the thickest part of the forest which meant she was getting close to a certain cave. Anika had not seen the arachne in a while and thought maybe she see if Arca was home.

Meanwhile In the cave, Arca was busy with some spring cleaning. Her webbing was starting to catch a fair amount of rocks and cave dust. Even certain species of spiders will take down their webs to make a new one if it's dirty. It wasn't much of a chore for her as the hairs on her legs made the sticky residue that was still there on the silk harmless. Which kept her from getting caught too, like a prey would. She had already just gone out to restock on her water and food supply. Arachne eat a balanced diet of fruit and meat. She caught a alligator that was causing some terror for a band of monkeys. She saved the monkeys and took the alligator to not waste it. The monkeys even thanked her with some fruit from their tree. Arca was able to carry it all back to her home with a silk net she wove.

Anika was hiding amongst some trees outside the cave when she spotted the Arachne. Now most humans would have probably be frightened by such a creature. But not Anika.
Anika knew the Arachne was a great hunter but otherwise she was friendly especially towards the jungle girl. It was a strange looking friendship for certain but one Anika wouldn’t trade for anything.
Judging by the large cocoon and fruit, Arca was going to eat well tonight. Anika wondered if she would mind the company but she wasn’t just gonna jump out. The jungle girl liked to sneak up on others and so she did.
In her amusement, Anika had forgotten about Arca’s sharp senses.

Even though she was working, Arca could just sense something was close by. It wasn't a sound or even a scent. Just a feeling that was telling her someone was nearby. She grabs the tangled mess of dirty webbing and walks to the mouth of the cave. She keeps it close as she watches. If it was a threat she could just throw the web ball at the perp. Even in it's state it's still sticky enough to aid. Using her legs she started sweeping some rocks and withered leaves that had blown into the cave. Trying to act like she was distracted and would not be ready for whatever was out there.

Anika stood up and silently approached the entrance of the cave. Before she entered the cave, Anika clapped her hands once and it echoed in the cave.

At the very moment the clap sounded, a ball of web came right at Anika. “Surprise,” Arca said in almost a sing song tone. “Well lookie here. It’s my special girlcub friend. It’s been quite some time Anika.” Arca brushes her hands together to wipe away lingering dirt and gives her legs a shake. ”Pardon me I was just cleaning my cave.”

Anika was admittedly caught off guard but she had expected as much from Arca. Even with that in mind, Anika didn't stop trying to struggle against the web as the arachne greeted here. Anika wriggled like a fish in a net until she finally settled down.
"Hello Arca," Anika replied casually like this was normal. "I was just passing by and I thought I'd say hello. Sorry if I was interrupting."

"Please you know how many visitors I actually get? And it doesn't hurt to prove to myself I still handle danger coming my way." Arca comes over and helps pull away the sticky stings. "Don't you remember what I taught you? Struggling only makes it worse. You need to be more gentle to get out."

"Yeah yeah, I get it, you're a big scary predator while I am but a humble wolf." Anika sighed. She smiled up at the arachne in a friendly manner as she was soon freed from the webbing. The girl stood up and dusted herself. "Thank you," she said.

Arca walks closer to the girlcub and bends her spider legs to bring her more to Anika's level being more of only a head taller. She then slips her arms around Anika's back for a hug. "It's good to see you again. What fun we could have."

Anika just stared at the arachne before she was hugged. Normally Anika was always on her guard and wouldn't allow most to get this close without some caution for herself, but Arca was one the few the girl could relax and show vulnerability to. Anika slowly wrapped her arms around the arachne's shoulders and rested her cheek against her friend's neck as wolves do.
"It's good to see you too," Anika said.

Arca sneaks her hands to Anika's sides and gives her a tickle. Something she did a few times to Anika when they first met. She then lets go and stands back up straight. "I'm almost finished, your welcome to come inside then maybe we can play." Arca picks up the web ball and tosses it to a better spot for like a jungle garbage dump. In time it will decay and return to nature. The arachne walks back to the cave to finish up her cleaning. Sweeping the last of the pile she had at the entrance.

Anika gave a startled laugh and gave lite kicks in the air but she would never ever kick Arca directly. The jungle girl learned long ago that there was no need to hurt someone who meant no harm to you.
"I'd be happy to," Anika replied.
The jungle girl made her way inside the cave and sat down on a large and smooth rock. Then she spotted the pile of fruit and Anika's stomach reminded her of her need for a snack after a long run. Anika grabbed a mango but didn't bite it yet.
"Would you mind?" Anika asked.
