Twilight: We Are Venom! - chapter 9

“Oh poor little Frankenstein’s monster, you just made the greatest mistake your disgusting life,” Instantly, the undead countered our attack, with one of his own pushing us to the side; standing up, we glared at the cold bastard, hissing.

“No,” We hissed, extending one of our tendrils to his arm. “But you did.” with this his arm coated in black, we started to trash the undead around the building like a rag doll, as he unsuccessfully tried to break our hold, while we trashed the man that held the answers to where our Alice was, the undead that was accompanying him attacked, jumping on our back, trying for some reason to bite us.

As soon as her fangs made contact with our body, we knew what she was, what they were, Vampires, from her fangs a virus, was wildly was trying to spread. Still, without any viable connection to our bloodstream, it was impossible for the infection to spread. Now that we had a sample of the venom they carried, we would evolve to against it, “Get off!” we growled, pushing her off our back with a newly created tendril; the force threw her throw several walls of the building.

As we walked towards the female vampire, we felt our hold with the male one disappear, but not as he wasn’t there; a quick look showed the man had cut his own arm off and had quickly sprinted towards us, kicking us out of the building, “That barely hurt me,” we hissed jumping back into the building and tackling the vampire to the ground, biting his other arm off. Our venomous bite seemed to wonders for the vampire, who cried in pain for a bit, “Now, tell us where she is… and we’ll make this quick,” we hissed at his face, a few inches from him, our drool and tongue touching his face.

“James!” The vampire woman had by now recovered, as was about to try and attack me again.

“Move, and we will eat his head off,” We hissed at her as a warning, though we would not kill him until we had some answers.

“She’s back on Arkansas,” James laughed, and by how the woman reacted to his answer, we knew that much to be true, “I’ve been hunting her for a while,”

“You must really want to die, well let Venom help you with that,” We growled, ready to rip his head off, as his mate attacked me in a desperate attempt to stop us, this of course barely slowed me down, what we didn’t foresee was a third vampire helping them, forcibly activating my spider-sense, to dodge the incoming attack, freeing James in the process.

“Where were you, Laurent!?” Victoria hissed, holding the arm James had rip off.

“I was eating…. What is that thing?” Laurent commented with the slightest french accent, looking at us with disgust, on his right hand holding an arm, the one James had lost with my bite.

“He calls himself Venom,” James provided the answer, “Now let’s see who finds her first,” he added, turning his cold, emotionless gaze back at us.

Both Victoria and Laurent shared a look, “I never had a hunting competition, this will be fun and will make your little chipmunk…. More delicious,”

“You are making a lot of assumptions,” We snarled with a hiss at him, “One of them is the belief we will let you live!”

“Oh, but you will,” James chuckled; he had a plan; we had seen enough villains make that face, both in movies and in person, “I was careless today, but next time… it won’t be so easy to take me down,”

Tired of talking to something that belongs to a tomb and deciding not to give him any chance, we lunged at him, punching him back to the ground floor, “Really? Too bad,”

“She’s with one of us,” James commented, “Do you really wanna waste time, fighting us? She could be dead right now,” as he finished that, his allies tried to attack us, but we pushed them back with a few extra limps.

“You are not as clever as you think you are,” We growled at him, ripping his leg.

“Perhaps, but...” James smiled, “Victoria, Laurent, go and hunt the girl… kill her in the most brutal way,”

We blinked in shock as the two vampires we had pushed ran towards Arkansas, “They will get there in an hour or so,” he smirked, “But be my guest, kill me… keep wasting time with me; it will give them more time to make her scream,”

“NOOOO!” We hissed, piercing his chest with our hand, the one way we knew how to kill a Vampire, besides using sunlight, but just to make sure, we also ripped off his head and last leg tossing his torso to the catatonic lady we had saved from him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After dealing with the Vampire, we rushed to Arkansas at full speed, using our tendrils to web-sling across the forest, Reach, shoot, snag, swing, pull, release, repeat. Over and over again, following the smell of the other vampires, we knew they had separated, the female was running back to where we had left her mate, and the other male was simply trying to avoid me, smart if he wished to keep his life.

One hour and a haft later, we were in the border of the state of Arkansas, and we could smell… she was here.

We rushed through the dark streets of the city, using the shadows as our covers, getting closer and closer to her, but the closer we got, the more her unique smell changed… it was getting colder, almost as if…. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We were sure the other two weren’t here; we were also confident that the bastard had lied to save his life.

From the skies, before connecting another tendril to web-sling, we saw it. An old asylum, Alice was there, we knew it. Using the moment of our swing, we let gravity take its course as we connected a tendril to one of the asylum walls, using it to push ourselves forward, increasing our speed tremendously. Busting through one of the windows in the asylum, we ran towards the fading smell of Alice, killing every person that tried to stop us, until we reached her room.

At her door, the vampire stood defensively, guarding the entrance defensively like a crouching cat. He was the one that bit her; he was the one that wanted to take her away from me.

“I won’t let you hurt her,” The Vampire stated.

“H-hurt her,” We hissed in anger, how dare he accuse us of wanting to hurt her, “You killed her!”
