'Venom' ~ A Fan-Fic Written by: thejon93

Chapter 19:
INT. RUNDOWN BUILDNG - MORNING

Suddenly crashing through the front door was Cletus, as he then rushed back towards the door to close it. Where he then slid alongside it, as he fell to the floor. He let moments pass, before he put his hand over his face, in shame. But suddenly, somebody else tried to open the door, but was unsuccessful where Cletus' weight kept the door from fully opening.

Cletus then quickly leapt aside from the door, where he then pulled his gun out and pointed it at the door. Until he realized who was behind it, as Marcus came rushing inside with Berg, who immediately le out a painful gasp, as Marcus quickly set him on the floor to shut the door, whre Marcus was now seated up-against the door.

Breathing heavily the three of them were, as small drops of blood had hit the floor from two of Berg's bullet wounds.

"You alright?" Cletus asked Berg, as he rotated over beside him.

"I'm fine," Berg moaned, as Cletus checked his wounds. "Barely hit me."

"Bull----, Berg," Marcus leapt in. "You were moaning and moaning all the way home!"

"Piss off, Marcus," Berg threw back. "The ---holes hit us all off-guard, be thankful we're still alive."

"Oh, that's funny," Marcus began. "'Cause I remember telling something simular to your friend two nights ago, and look where he is now."

Berg then threw himself off of the floor in rage, as he suddenly wrapped his arm around Marcus' neck. Where Marcus then threw Berg right down to the floor, where the pain of the impact caused Berg to let go of his grip around Marcus' neck, as he now screamed in pain. As he continued to scream profanity at Marcus.

"Shut up, dammit!" Cletus yelled at Berg, who finally stopped, as he rolled about on the floor in pain. Cletus then leaned over Berg. "Continue your whining, and I'll punch you repeatedly until you can no longer feel pain."

Berg swallowed in fear, as he looked terrified at Cletus.
 
Thanks, mate. Exactly what I'm aiming for with the character.

Chapter 20:
INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(WASHROOM) - MORNING

Eddie washed his face off while the tap was running, as he held his head over the sink. Finally, after a moment, he looked up at himself in the mirror.

"You know the plan right?" a voice came from inside Eddie's mind.

Eddie blinked from the water that ran into his eyes.

FLASHBACK(SLOW MOTION):

It was a party, as it showed a group of 20 something year olds formed into a crowd.

"None of us are going to chicken out, right?" the same voice of a young man asked the crowd, as the whole crowd, including Eddie nodded. The young man said something else, but it was only distorted to Eddie's ears, as he finally caught sight of Anne. She was smiling at him, where he then found himself smiling back at her.

"I'm Anne," Anne's voice echoed throughout Eddie's head, as the whole crowd then ran back into the party, screaming and yelling as if something terrible had just happened, as the party goers not included in the plot looked at the people screaming in confusion.

"My name's Eddie," Eddie's own voice then came echoing through his own head, as he peered over the heads of the frantic crowd, at Anne, who was also looking over at him.

INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(WASHROOM) - MORNING

Eddie finally opened his eyes, as the flashback suddenly disappeared from his imagination.
 
Chapter 21:
INT. RUNDOWN BUILDING(KITCHEN) - MORNING

"Jesus," Marcus muttered, as Cletus was sewing-up Berg's wounds. Whereas Berg himself screamed in pain with everytime Cletus looped the needle through his skin.

"You know I throw fits like that sometimes, man," Cletus begun. "You should know by now not to get me started like that."

"I know," Berg replied, as Cletus looped the needle back through his skin. Whereas this time, Berg was able to hold his screams back, as he repeated. "I know..."

Cletus smiled, as he patted Berg on the shoulder.

"You're fine, Berg."

"----," Berg cursed in relief.

EXT. DAILY GLOBE - MORNING

Once again riding his bike up the street towards the 'Daily Bugle' was Eddie. As the same man from a few days ago; dressed in buisness attire, gets in his bike's path.

"Get out of the damn way, you idiot," Eddie muttered under his breath, aiming the comment towards the man. Up until he avoids hitting the man by squeezing in between the man and the vehicle's parked before the crossing pedestrians. Eddie looks back at him in rage, as the man himself continues walking along up the street, ignoring all else.

INT. DAILY GLOBE(LOBBY) - MORNING

Walking into the Daily Globe's front lobby, with his bike held up onto his shoulder was Eddie, as he marched towards the front-counter, where he immediately placed the bike over the counter and planted it safely on the floor behind it.

He then caught sight of Julie in his eye, as he then sighed under his breath, as she made her way towards him.

"Eddie, I heard what happened to Anne," Julie claimed, as Eddie looked at her in confusion.

"...How the hell did the news spread so quickly?" Eddie asked dryly.

"Well... a lot of people around here are friends with Anne," Julie hesitated to answer, Eddie then faintly smirked.

"Almost had me there, now that you're beginning to make me laugh," Eddie replied coldy, as he turned away from her and headed towards the elevators.
 
I really like how the story is progressing. I can literally visualize the scenes in my mind!

Excellent work,thejon93.

Thanks a million, Arcturus. By the way, your avy creeped the hell outta me when I first saw it:woot:
 
Chapter 22:
INT. DAILY GLOBE(EMPLOYEE'S OFFICE) - MORNING

Already seated at his desk and beginning to work was Eddie. As he typed feverishly into the keyboard. Terrence then rolled over in his seat next to Eddie.

"I suppose you don't want to talk about what happened?" Terrence wondered.

"...Why does everyone care so much?" Eddie wondered as well. Terrence nodded in agreement.

"Everyone cares because you're a good guy, Eddie-"

"Look, don't lecture me, okay?" Eddie jumped, as Terrence was again nodded in approval.

"I'm sorry, Eddie," Terrence apologized, as he paused before he continued. "I'm just trying to be a good friend, you know? For how you helped me the other day..."

Eddie hesitated to respond, as he then turned his head towards Terrence. "Thank you."

"Thank you, too," Terrence replied, as he then shook hands with Eddie.

Terrence then rolled back over to his desk, leaving Eddie in peace to work. As he continued to type into the keyboard. But suddenly, Eddie noticed something on the floor, in the corner of his eye. He couldn't quite make it out, as it suddenly turned around his desk just in time. Eddie looked into it's last headed direction, as he peered around the corner of his desk, only to spot some kind of black liquid escape out through the exit. Eddie continued staring into its direction in both confusion and curiosity.

CUT TO:

Eddie walked out onto the street, before the Daily Globe, as he looked around the street itself; searching for what he had just recently discovered. Where finally, Eddie noticed it again pass right along his sneakers, as he noticed it was last headed to the crosswalk.

Eddie stopped at the crosswalk, as he looked all around the civilian crowded sidewalk for it. But suddenly, a strange sensation came after Eddie, as he looked up at the person across the street who was staring back at him. Suddenly, a vehicle stopped before Eddie, as he quickly peered into it's reflection.

However, Eddie oddly noticed that through the vehicle's reflection, the man's face had suddenly turned into something alien. As he had jet-black skin, triangular-white eyes and a strange set of variously sharp teeth sticking out of his mouth, as Eddie noticed it smiling at him.

Suddenly, the vehicle took off, as Eddie looked back at the man to see his face was back to normal. The man crossed the street, whereas Eddie did the same, as he continued to stare at the man in confusion. But the man had not noticed Eddie, as he continued walking up the street.

(A little note for all of you 'Venom' fans out there, picture that "man" being Todd McFarlane.)
 
Chapter 23:
EXT. PARK - MORNING

Finding the path where he and Anne had been attacked the other night was Eddie. As he stopped in his tracks, examining the area. Eddie then begun to take more steps in, closer to where it all happened, as a noise suddenly from inside a bush.

Eddie, now impatiently made his way around the bush, only to find nothing there but the rustling of the bush's branches. Eddie's face slowly begun to turn red with fury, as he trailed through-and-through the snow. Continuing his examination of the area.

As Eddie continued his examination of the area, once again, he caught something on the tree in the corner of his eye. Where, in fury, he begun to throw his fists hard at the tree. But there was nothing there, as Eddie continued punching the tree in rage, as bark begun to crumble and fly from off of the tree. Wheres Eddie's hands slowly begun to turn red and bleed to where his knuckles were hitting the tree. Finally, Eddie quit punching the tree, as he then slid down along it, holding his bleeding fists against his shirt, as trees begun to roll down his eyes.

Unbeknownst to Eddie, was a black symbiote substance that came crawling behind him, as it slithered up his shirt.

"Eddie," a voice whispered to Eddie, as he jumped to his feet in terror, where he then looked all around the area, to see where the voice had come from. But nothing. No one was around for Eddie to make out.

"...What are you doing here?" Eddie whispered to himself, as he continued examining the environment.

INT. DAILY GLOBE(EMPLOYEE'S OFFICE) - MORNING

Eddie's face was pale from the cold chills outside, as well as what he had just done to his fist, as he hid them inside his sleeves. Eddie then made his way towards Larry's office, where he instantly walked in without notice.

"Larry," Eddie begun, as Larry himself looked up in surprise to find Eddie, as he then took a break from his work on the computer.

"Eddie, what do you need?" Larry asked.

"I can't work today, sir. I just can't. I need the day off, maybe two, I don't know," Eddie leapt to the point, as Larry stood up from his seat.

"...You're really pushing your luck, Eddie," Larry explained, as he leaned over his desk. "I gave you the day off yesterday, didn't I?"

"Sir, you asked me to run an errand... And I did," Eddie stated. "That wasn't a day off; not for us... me."

"We all know what happened last night, Eddie."

"...I figured..."

"We care."

"Certainly..."

Larry took a deep breath, as he then finally let it out. "Okay, take the day off. But, call-in if you're taking any other days off this week, okay?"

"Thanks, Larry," Eddie smiled, as he excused himself from Larry's office.
 
Chapter 24:
INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(BEDROOM) - MORNING

The daylight was still blazing through the city streets, as Eddie moved his curtains to block the sun, which still found its way through. Eddie sighed, as he through the blankets from his bed up so he could crawl in beneath them, as he rested his head along the pillow.

Eddie tried to find a comfortable side to sleep on, but couldn't quite find it. As he then turned over on his back, where he looked up at the empty ceiling, with nothing but a lightbulb seated in the middle of it. Finally, Eddie closed his eyes, peacefully, as he then begun to fall asleep.

DREAM(THEATRE):

Eddie opened his eyes, to notice he was seated in a seat right inside a movie theatre. It was too dark to make out anything, but suddenly, the curtains to the large screen opened up, as it revealed a signal-less screen.

Somebody next to Eddie then begun to laugh, where Eddie then turned around to face the person. Or, at least that's what it sounded like.

"We love this movie," the thing said, as it turned over to face Eddie, who's eyes widened with fear. This thing had a blistering white-sharp set of teeth, two flaring snake-like nostrils, black-silky skin and glowing white, almost triangular shaped eyes; alike the face he had seen in the vehicle's reflection earlier. "So simple, so convinent, so beautiful... A beauty we all have to look closer at."

Eddie wanted to say something, but was lost for words in the sight of the thing, as the thing instead smiled back at him.

"You like the suit," the thing joked, miming that it was indeed wearing a suit, as he rotated around in his seat slightly for Eddie to see. But there was nothing, the thing was covered head-to-toe with the same black-silky skin. As it then turned back to face the movie. "We'll let you talk now, Edward."

"...What... the hell... are you?..." Eddie hesitated to ask, as he shivered with fear.

"We're your lover, we're your fighter," the thing then turned to face Eddie. "We're your own, personal, Venom."

"...Venom?" Eddie curiously asked the thing, known as Venom.

"What we are when we form into what you see before you," Venom indicated towards itself. "What you will become once we bond."

"Bond?"

"You are a... disease; we are your cure," Venom turned to face Eddie again. "Get the picture?"

Eddie didn't respond, as he thought about Venom's statement.

"Still in thought, are we?" Venom asked Eddie, with a smirk set across it's face. "Don't worry, you'll be dead soon enough..."

Eddie immediately turned his head back to facing Venom, as Venom begun to laugh.

"If you couldn't tell already, we love to joke around," Venom explained, as Eddie eased up and settled back in his seat, as did Venom, as they both turned to watch the movie. "We understand you have a score to settle."

"What would that be?" Eddie asked dryly.

"Come on, we all know what you want," Venom begun. "You want those scumbags that almost killed your precious, Anne Weying."

"I wish for them the worst, not death."

"And we can give them something worse than death," Venom leapt up from it's seat, as it landed back down onto it on both it's knees, seated down on it like a little child, ready for play. "We can give them... torture, fear, terror, all of those things. We saw the anger in your face the other night, and we realized that you had something terrifying to offer this world... with us."

"I only want the three of them to suffer, not the world," Eddie continued on, still in a dry mood.

"The world created them."

"The world gave me Anne."

"The world gave you nothing!" Venom screamed in rage, Eddie then leapt to his feet in terror. "Sit down!"

Eddie obeyed the command, as there was virtually nowhere to run.

"...Let us give you a little bit of our history," Venom settled down, as it sat back properly in it's seat and looked up at the screen.
 
Thanks, rh4.

Chapter 25:
DREAM(THEATRE):

Drawn-pictures of the symbiote's origin begun to appear on the screen. Eddie looked in confusion at Venom, as the reels continued.

"You're awaiting a narration?" Venom asked, without even taking it's eyes off the screen.

"Yes," Eddie answered, as he too did not take his eyes off the screen.

"Pay attention, and you'll find the answers you seek," Venom answered, as Eddie further more focused on the screen.

Moments past, as Eddie continued to look at the hand-drawn figures. The drawings then showed alien lifeforms dropping the symbiote down to Earth in a seed, the seed landed in the park and slowly begun to grow, normally, over time.

"This can't be real," Eddie told himself.

"We never said it was," Venom replied, as Eddie looked over at Venom, whereas Venom was licking it's lips. It then turned over to face Eddie. "Soon you'll discover what we've done."

"...What have you done?" Eddie asked, as Venom looked at him, innocently.

"What's best for us," Venom answered, as suddenly, Eddie noticed the symbiote wrap around his arms and legs. He tried to find the symbiote's grip, but with no achievement, as the symbiote lifted him off his feet, whereas Venom stood to his feet to support it.

"What are you doing?" Eddie asked in terror.

"We're going to need to use your body for the time being, Edward," Venom responded coldly. "But you can trust a couple of strangers, can't you?"

The symbiote then slowly begun to form all around Eddie's body, whereas it begun to form into Venom. As the symbiote crawled about everywhere on Eddie's body.

CUT TO(EXIT DREAM):

Back into the bedroom, Eddie has now been fully covered by the symbiote, where his face was shown through the symbiote, as he screamed in pain. Whereas his eyes begun to form into the ones belonging to Venom.
 
Another short passage, for I like to take my time with developing all of this "Venom/Symbiote" stuff. I'm attempting to make it as logical as I can. You really don't know how hard it is with writing such a character/creature like the symbiote and, at the same time, trying to make it as logical and as good as it can be. So far, I'm pleased with it, because I think that it'll develop better in the future chapters.

Thanks for keeping up the read, I really appreciate it:yay:

Chapter 26:
EXT. ROOFTOPS - NIGHT

Awakening from inside the symbiote suit was Eddie, as he looked around inside of in terror; where only his eyes were visible.

"What is this?" Eddie went to speak, but instead, Venom's voice replaced his own.

"We didn't explain to you much," Eddie's voice then circled around inside the symbiote, as Eddie's eyes tried to follow where it was coming from. "The truth is: We're still trying to find out for ourselves."

Eddie's eyes gave up searching for the voice.

"What are you doing with me?" Venom's voice once again replaced Eddie's; as the symbiote and Eddie both switch roles inside.

"The people always cry for adventure," the symbiote explained. "But we just can't decide."

Suddenly, the glow of the moon came through Venom's triangular-shaped eyes, as the moon's light pressed against Eddie's eyes.

CUT TO:

Cutting from the view inside the suit, Venom was leaping from one rooftop to another, attempting to find the largest building to sprawl.

Whereas it finally found one, where the moon was then one-for-one right behind Venom's head, as Venom then begun to scream to the skies above.
 
Chapter 27:
EXT. HOSPITAL - NIGHT

Venom sprung up-against the wall along the hospital where Anne was being held, as Venom looked into the room she was in, to finally catch glimpse of her.

"Such a beautiful woman you, Edward," Venom complemented.

"...I don't own her. Nobody does," Eddie replied.

"We see... so you're a good samaritan, aren't you?" Venom asked.

"I could only wish," Eddie responded, as Venom let out a laughter.

"Nobody's perfect, friend," Venom continued to laugh, slightly. "Look at us."

"I would," Eddie paused. "But my eyes tell me to hold against her."

"...Edward, this would be a perfect time to tell you... that we're," Venom stopped, as they begun to think for a moment. "Schizophrenic; we just can't seem to make up our minds. One minute, we may be hungry for pancakes. The next, we may feel like just having some apple juice. You see, we're everchanging. Just like humans on every other day, through and through their personality."

"What about your's?" Eddie asked.

"Our's?... Our's is your's," Venom answered. "Why do you think we're so obsessed with getting the men who hurt the one you love must?"

CUT TO:

Inside the symbiote suit, Eddie's eyes widened in realization.

"So, that's what you're here for?" Eddie asked, curiously.

"...Yes," Venom slivered, as Eddie's eyes suddenly glowed with evil, and joy.
 
Chapter 28:
EXT. HOSPITAL - NIGHT

Continuing it's stare at Anne, Venom remains to be alongside the building.

"We should go inside," Venom begun.

"No," Eddie responded. "I don't want her to-"

"To what?" Venom asked, in caution.

"...I just don't want her to see me yet," Eddie hesitated to come up with an answer.

"We see, you don't want her to see how you are now... with us," Venom calmly guessed.

"I don't what I want," Eddie explained. "I'm frozen, swimming in a lake, without her."

"...How the world needs a hero, and how it's simple civilians all need their own," Venom stated.

But suddenly, a scream erupted from a few blocks away, as Venom turned towards the scream's direction.

"You hear that, Edward?" Venom asked, as it paused to let time for Eddie to think. "A damsel in distress, what should we do?"

"Be a hero, I guess," Eddie replied, as Venom didn't respond, while it whiped off the corner of it's mouth a spec of drool. Where Venom then leapt off alongside the wall and begun to cling along other building's as it headed towards the screaming woman.

CUT TO:

In the middle of the road, a thug held a woman hostage, as he pointed his shotgun towards the police car parked down the road; where the officers were given cover behind the vehicle.

"Don't nobody ----in' move!" the thug yelled at the officers, as he then motioned towards the alley on his right. "If you move... the broad is dead!"

The thug finally moved with the woman into the alleyway, where he then let go of his shotgun, grabbed the woman with both hands by her head and swung her towards the trash bins behind him. As he then reached for his shotgun, and was about to sprint down the alley, but was caught by Venom. Who wrapped it's hand around the thug's throat, tightly.

Venom looked around the alleyway, in curiosity. "You know how many windows are in this alleyway?" Venom asked the thug, but with no response. "...Not enough for you."

CUT TO:

The thug then screamed, as he was shot right up towards one of the second floor windows, as his head crashed right through it, while he then fell back down to the ground.

The skin on the thug's face was virtually cut to shreds, as he screamed in pain. Venom was about to pick him back up, but noticed the two police officers coming into the alleyway, with their weapons steady in hand. But without word, as soon as they caught sight of Venom, they opened fire. Whereas Venom then evaded the gunfire in-time to make it up onto the rooftop.

"That was a close call," Venom chuckled, as it leapt it's way from one rooftop to another; laughing in delight.

Haha, nice to see you've enjoyed reading, rh4:woot:

Chapter 29:
INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(LIVING ROOM) - MORNING

Early in the morning it was, as Venom stumbled into Eddie's apartment through the living room window, as Venom dropped down to the floor, in clumsiness, as Venom continued to laugh wildly; alike on the rooftops.

CUT TO:

Eddie suddenly opened his eyes, where he then slowly looked about and noticed that he was lying on the washroom floor. Eddie blinked repeatedly to see if what was before him was real.

CUT TO:

Walking into the living room now was Eddie, as he sat down on the couch; holding a glass of milk in hand. Lifting the glass up to his lips carefully, Eddie then begun to examine the room with his eyes; whereas his lips were pressed tightly up-against the glass, barely letting any bit of the milk enter his own mouth.

Eddie then hesitated, where he then finally stood to his feet; pulling the glass back down to the table, as he walked towards the door. Eddie quickly put on his shoes, as he tried to whipe away the sleeplessness from his eyes with the palm of his hands. Eddie then reached down to the door's handle, and went to unlock it, but found that it was already unlocked. Eddie then looked to the left of the door, where his apartment keys sat on a small shelf.

INT. LANDLORD'S OFFICE(HALLWAY) - MORNING

Eddie knocked on the door to Barry's office, as Barry then answered the door. Barry smirked.

"Come down to thank me for letting you stay a little while longer?" Barry asked immediately.

"I- I... lost track of things," Eddie responded hesitantly, trying to remember past events.

"...Come on in, we'll have a cup of tea," Barry welcomed.

"I... just had a glass of milk," Eddie reacted, as Barry looked at Eddie in confusion.

"...Okay," Barry accepted, as Eddie looked down slightly; in shame. "There'll be people coming up later on to check the apartment, can you make sure everything's clean?"

"Yeah," Eddie answered, as he then nodded, once again approving. Eddie then turned away from Barry, as he then walked up the hall, as Barry then closed the door behind him.
 
Chapter 30:
INT. RUNDOWN BUILDING(LIVING ROOM) - NIGHT

Clothed in secondhand winter jackets were Cletus, Berg and Marcus; as the snow storm continued blasting outside, while the three sat amongst the couch before the fireplace. Marcus then picked up a piece of wood from the wood pile beside him, as he threw the piece of wood into the fire to keep the fire from dying.

"...I'm an odd guy," Cletus begun, as Berg and Marcus then turned to face him. "...I have unbelievable plans designated towards impossible futures."

Marcus nodded, slightly, as Berg continued to concentrate on Cletus.

"I'm an evil man," Cletus stated, as he begun to get teary-eyed. "I got you three involved!-"

Cletus then cut himself off.

"...And now, one of the three is dead," Cletus finished, as he reached over along the side of the couch and pulled up a bottle of beer. The bottle was already opened, as Cletus begun to drink from the half-filled bottle.

INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(BEDROOM) - NIGHT

Eddie lied on his bed; with his eyes still opened, he looked up at the ceiling. Eddie paused for a moment, while still looking at the ceiling, then slowly begun to close his eyes. But suddenly, the symbiote appeared. The symbiote begun to surround the bed, as it's formed tentacles grasped onto the bed-frame, in an attempt to catch Eddie. But then, a couple knocks reflected off of Eddie's front door, as Eddie suddenly sat up from the bed. Whereas the symbiote had took back to it's hiding spot, under the bed.

CUT TO:

Coming out into the hallway to answer the door was Eddie, as he begun to unlock both of the locks located on the door. Eddie then opened the door to, on the other-side, discover Terrence.

"Hey Eddie," Terrence introduced.

"How'd you find my place?" Eddie immediately asked, in confusion. Whereas Terrence begun to laugh.

"That's Larry, for you," Terrence replied, as he continued to stand in the doorway. "Do you want to go see a movie or something?"

"What time is it?"

"Eleven 'o clock," Terrence answered. "It's quite stormy out, so please don't tell me I came over for nothing."

Eddie then smirked, in the sight of his newly discovered friendship.
 
Awesome work!

This should be the Venom spin-off movie!
 
Awesome work!

This should be the Venom spin-off movie!
Thanks, mate.

When I read the nes on that today... I honestly forgot that they were making a 'Venom' spin-off. However, I have to edmit, I hope they decide to make it a stand-alone movie. I would really like to see Venom have a good run as a solo character for a change, because I'm really tired of him being known as Spider-Man's "footnote". He's a character of great potential, and we have yet to see it in the crisp-form of a comic book, graphic novel or movie. Personally, I hope that this film gets the ball rolling for this character(also, look out for a piece I'm going to be writing soon on who I think should play Eddie Brock/Venom). But, in the meantime...

Chapter 31:
INT. THEATRE - NIGHT

The theatre was only minorly crowded, as mainly couples sat in the seats; all scattered oddly across the room. As Eddie and Terrence sat in the back-row, looking over the large screen.

"...I had a dream about a place like this," Eddie muttered, not expecting Terrence to overhear.

"What?" Terrence asked in total confusion. Eddie finally snapped out of the thought and looked over at Terrence.

"Nothing," Eddie found an instant answer. "Thinking for the characters in the movie."

Terrence laughed. "Yeah?"

"Certainly," Eddie responded, as Terrence's laughter slowly and smoothly begun to die. "How have you been lately?"

"I've been pretty good, would've been nicer to have you tell off Aaron once in a while... as you always do."

"...I don't think I can handle an ---hole like Aaron, right about now."

"Why? You grumpy?" Terrence joked.

"...No," Eddie stumbled on the answer.

"Well, at least you're not grumpy..."

"...How have you and Julie been?" Eddie brought up a new conversation.

"Julie?... We're okay, I guess," Terrence answered, smoothly. "But she did however mention a grumpy individual who left his bike behind her desk, in-order for the boyfriend to carry the responsibility of telling the owner of the bike that it's safe in his own apartment; currently getting his nice, clean carpet all dirty with tire-tracks."

Eddie chuckled briefly, as he sighed in relief, where he then planted his head in his palms. "You're a life-saver, Terrence, you know that?"

"I've been told before," Terrence responded, as he smirked through his egotistical statement.
 
Chapter 32:
EXT. STREET - NIGHT

Eddie sits on the seat of his bike, with his feet pulling him along, as he's making up a speed that Terrence can keep up with.

"So, how 'bout that movie?" Terrence asked, as Eddie chuckled.

"Overrated," Eddie answered.

"Overrated?" Terrence repeated in amazement, as Eddie nodded; with a smirk set across his face. "You've got to be kidding me! Overrated... That's the last time I'm ever taking you to see a great movie like that ever again!"

"Name one character."

"...Mike?" Terrence guessed, as Eddie chuckled again.

"See, you can't even recall one of the character's names," Eddie replied. "You should've stayed behind for the end credits."

"Nah, I don't stick around for them," Terrence responded. "Who does that anyhow?"

"Those guys who come in to sweep the crap off of the floor when the movie's over?"

"Good point, but he or she must hate his or her job."

"No doubt. But, at least he... or she's getting paid."

"Another good point there, Eddie," Terrence complemented, as the two of them finally reached it up to Eddie's apartment.

"You gonna be alright?" Eddie asked Terrence, as he pulled his keys out of his pocket.

"What are you, afraid of the dark?" Terrence asked in return, as Eddie laughed.

"Not quite, but what about you?"

"Hell no, Ed," Terrence answered, as Eddie nodded in approval. "See you at work, tomorrow?"

"Possibly..."

"You gonna yell at my lover, again, if so?"

"I'll think about it," Eddie joked, as Terrence chuckled this time.

"See you later, Ed," Terrence bid goodbye.

"You too," Eddie bid in return, as Terrence turned away and headed back up the street. Eddie then put his key into the front-door, as he then turned the knob to open it.

Already up the street, Terrence pulled his hood over his head to protect himself from the storm.
 
Chapter 33:
INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Unlocking the door from outside in the hallway, Eddie reached back into the hallway, Eddie then grabbed his bike and placed it inside his apartment. Where he then closed the door behind him, locking the door.

EXT. STREETS - NIGHT

Cloaked behind his heavy winter clothing, protecting him from the winter storm, Terrence looked up before his view on the sidewalk; where he caught sight of a bar, named: "Big City". Terrence then moved quicker towards the bar.

CUT TO:

Walking into the bar was Terrence, as he took off his winter attire and set it by and on the coat-rack.

"Hey, Terry," the bartender called out to Terrence. "The usual?"

"Absolutely, but once I'm finished with some buisness," Terrence answered, as he made his way towards the washroom.

"And what do you three want?" the bartender asked the three seated on the stools.

"We'll have the best, please and thank you," one of the three answered, as the bartender turned away from them towards the bar behind him.

Pulling the washroom door open, Terrence peered over his shoulder at the three seated in-front of the bar. And, unknown to him was the fact that the three were Cletus, Marcus and Berg. Terrence then turned away in-time, before Cletus caught sight of him looking over at him, as Terrence shut the door to the washroom.

INT. EDDIE'S WASHROOM(BEDROOM) - NIGHT

With the lamp on Eddie sat on his bed, covered in his blankets, as he leaned back on the pillows behind his head and back. As doing so, Eddie looked over a strip of pictures of him and Anne taken from before. There were multiple pictures, as each of them were making funny faces. Eddie smiled, as he then set the picture back on the table next to his lamp, which he then turned off.

INT. BAR - NIGHT

Finally out of the washroom, Terrence made his way towards the bar, where he sat down on a stool; where he was now seated beside Cletus, who peered over at him, as he drank his beer. Terrence then pulled out his wallet and handed a twenty dollar bill to the bartender.

"I'll be buying a new rug with this money," the bartender joked.

"And I'll be asking for a cold one, please," Terrence responded, as he sat back in his stool. Where the bartender then turned around towards the bar.

"You should've asked for the best," Cletus replied, as he took another sip of his beer. Terrence then looked over at him, as the bartender stopped as well to look back at him.

"What kind of beer are you fellows enjoying?" Terrence asked, as Cletus pulled his beer bottle away from his lips and exhaled.

"The best," Cletus answered smoothly for the lot, as he took another quick sip. Terrence nodded in approval.

"Must be quite good then, huh?" Terrence once again asked.

"...It's ----," Cletus answered, setting the empty bottle down on the counter before him. Berg and Marcus then watched over Cletus closely.

"Here you are, Terry," the bartender said, as he set his mug of beer on the counter over a coaster with the bar's name on it.

"Terry... is that your real name?" Cletus asked curiously, as he reached into his back pocket. Terrence then slowly turned to face Cletus.

"...Name's none of nobody's buisness," Terrence answered, as he himself took a sip from his beer, which he set back down safely on the coaster.

"...I see," Cletus exchanged, as he then pulled a pack of cigarettes and a lighter out from his back pocket. Where, unbeknownst to Terrence, a gun was seated behind Cletus' shirt, as it sat between his jeans and his belt.

"Yeah," Terrence said, unaware of what to say. As Cletus then pulled a cigarette out of the pack and placed it in-between his lips, as he then lit the cigarette with the lighter. "...You read any sign in here that says you're allowed to smoke?"

The bartender watched cautiously, as Cletus pulled the cigarette out from between his lips and exhaled a puff of smoke towards the bar.

"It's my first time, to be honest," Cletus stated, as he examined the lit cigarette. "Picked it up off of a guy I mugged earlier."

Terrence looked up at the bartender, who looked back at Terrence.

"But... of course, the guy's dead now," Cletus said in return, as the bartender slowly reached below the counter, where a shotgun sat.

"How 'bout no, pops," Marcus called, as he pulled a gun out of the back of his jeans and quickly pointed it at the bartender; where he then pulled the trigger, as the bartender flew back towards the bar, as he was hit in the chest.

Cletus and Berg then reached for their guns, as the people in the back of the bar screamed in terror. Where Terrence then quickly grabbed hold of his stool and swung it at Cletus, where Cletus then fell to his knees after the blow. Terrence then leapt over the counter, just in-time to avoid the gunfire from Berg and Marcus. Terrence then grabbed hold of the shotgun that was in the bartender's hands, as he held it firmly in his hands; in firing position.

"You better hope and pray you've found a weapon down there, ---hole," Berg called, as he stepped a foot away from the counter, holding his gun in-hand.

Terrence breathed heavily, in fear, as Cletus then stepped to his feet, checking the back of his head for blood, when it was his forehead that was bleeding.

"You're a hard-hitter, Terry," Cletus coldly complemented, as he picked his gun back up off of the floor. Marcus then turned towards the other people in the bar and yelled at them with his gun pointed at them, as they screamed in terror and headed towards the wall, like they were told. "Why don't you stand up, hero?... Huh? How 'bout it?... You could be the modern-day John McClane."

Tears begun to roll down Terrence's eyes from his fear of the situation, as he tried his best to hold them back and keep up with his concentration. Cletus awaited a response, but got nothing.

"...Fine then, do it my way," Cletus said, as he then reached over the counter and pulled the shotgun right loose from Terrence's hands, as he then threw it behind him. Where he then leapt over the counter and went to grab Terrence, who was crawling away from Cletus, but was too late. As Cletus stomped on his back repeatedly, where Terrence screamed in pain.

Finally, Cletus stopped assaulting Terrence's back. However, he then grabbed hold of Terrence's hair, where he then planted one of his feet behind Terrence's head, as Cletus begun to pull Terrence's hair upwards, as Terrence continued to scream, in pain of the situation. In the worst of situations, Cletus then pulled the hair he had hold of right out of Terrence's head, as Terrence was now bleeding heavily through the top of his head.

Lost for words and screams, Terrence gripped hold of his forehead; trying to prevent further bleeding, as Terrence himself made his way out from behind the counter. Where he was then found by both Berg and Marcus, who lifted Terrence to his feet, as they held hold of Terrence's arms; to prevent him from attacking.

"Drag him over there," Cletus ordered, as he motioned towards the front entrance of the bar.

Berg and Marcus obeyed, as they dragged Terrence's almost lifeless body towards a large window beside the bar's entrance. Cletus then knelt down beside Terrence, who was barely breathing.

"...Tell Jesus, I'll be in hell if he needs me," Cletus replied, as he then stood back up, where he then patted Berg and Marcus on their backs. The two of them then made their way on each side of Terrence, as the two then grabbed hold of one of each his arms and legs.

CUT TO:

Leaping from rooftop to rooftop was Venom, as he then landed on a corner of one of the rooftops, where he then looked down to the streets. However, to his view, a few blocks away he could see a faint figure of a body engulfed in the light of a lightpost. Venom then made his way towards the figure.

CUT TO:

The snow storm settled, as Venom finally made it over to the figure was Venom, as he then discovered it was actually a body. Blood clouded over the snow amongst the sidewalk, as Venom turned towards the window where the body was thrown out of. Venom then looked down at the body again, as slowly begun to realize that it was Terrence.

Then, after a noise from up the street, Venom quickly lifted his head, only to catch three others running up the street.
 
Chapter 34:
INT. RUNDOWN BUILDING - NIGHT

Cletus, Marcus and Berg all stumbled into the building, as they laughed their way up the staircase. Cletus and Berg ran up the staircase, as Marcus took his time. Up the stairs, Berg turned around the corner, as Cletus peered back down at Marcus, before crossing the corner himself.

Marcus then looked up the staircase to see if there was anyone there, as he sat down on one of the stairs.

CUT TO:

Rushing into the room upstairs, Berg quickly slid along the floor and turned on the television. However, Cletus made his way back out of the room.

"Where you going; it's gonna be coming on soon?" Berg called out to Cletus, who walked out of the room, who didn't respond.

CUT TO:

Marcus pulled a wallet out of his pocket, where he then opened it to see a picture of Julie. It was Terrence's wallet, as Marcus checked the bills; tossing the credit cards out of the wallet.

CUT TO:

Cletus then shut the door to the washroom, as he walked over to the sink.

CUT TO:

Marcus continued to examine the items inside the wallet, where he was now flipping through pictures of Terrence's friends and relatives. Marcus then stood up, off of the stair, but suddenly, Marcus was pulled over the railing; where he landed with a thud to the ground.

CUT TO:

Cletus turned the water taps to the sink off, as he heard the thud from downstairs.

CUT TO:

"What do you think will catch your friend's attention?" Venom asked Marcus, as he gripped hold of his jaw. Venom then looked down on the floor, right beside Marcus, where a gun rested on the floor. Venom then looked back up at Marcus, where he then smiled demonically.

CUT TO:

Berg flipped through the channels on the television with the control on the television itself.

CUT TO:

Cletus turned the knob, to exit the washroom, where he then stepped out into the hallway and closed the door behind him. However, as he was headed back into the room with Berg, something caught him in the corner of his eye. Cletus slowly turned around towards the figure which caught his attention, only to find that it was Marcus. Cletus looked in fear at Marcus, who held a gun to his head, whereas the symbiote supported his arm and hand into doing so.

"...Marcus," Cletus said, to reassure himself that this was real. Tears begun to roll down Marcus' eyes.

Marcus was about to say something, but suddenly, the symbiote forced him into pulling the trigger. As Marcus', now lifeless, body fell right down to the floor. As soon as the action was over, the symbiote crawled off of Marcus' body and headed down the stairs.

Cletus was lost for words, as Berg then ran into the hallway.

"What happened?" Berg asked Cletus immediately, where he then turned to face Marcus' body, lying in a slowly building pool of blood. "...Oh, my God..."

Berg stepped back, further away from he body. As Cletus stood frozen where he'd been standing once it happened.

"...What'd you do?!" Berg screamed in terror at Cletus, as he struggled to pull his gun out; where he finally did. Berg then pointed the gun at Cletus, as he shook feverishly with terror. "Answer me!"

Cletus didn't bother to look back at Berg, as all else was now blank to him.

"...Cletus!-" Berg screamed again, but suddenly, the power went out, as the entire hallway was now cloaked in darkness.

From downstairs, a demonic laugh came, which terrified Berg even further, as he shot a round from the gun in the direction to where the laugh came from. Where the bullet only hit the wall.

Cletus finally snapped out of it, after the gunshot. As he looked back at Berg.

"What's going on?..." Berg asked in a slight whisper.

Cletus was about to respond, but suddenly, Venom's eyes begun to glow behind him, where Cletus then quickly turned around towards him, only to be knocked off his feet by Venom's swinging forearm; which collided with Cletus' forehead.

After the blow, Cletus immediately begun to crawl into the direction of Berg; who ran in terror down the hallway, as he ran into the bedroom and immediately closed the door behind him after his entrance. Cletus then rolled into the washroom and closed the door behind him, just in-time before Venom could strike him again. As Venom's fist collided with the door. Out in the hallway, Cletus could hear Venom weeping after the misfired attack, as he could also hear the monster's heavy footsteps make it's way up the hallway; towards the room where Berg was in.

Moments passed with almost little sound, except for the heavy breathing from Cletus. But finally, Berg's scream erupted, followed by other thundering noises. It was clear to Cletus that Berg had now been thrown out into the hallway, as he silently opened the door; just enough for him to see through the crack, to be able to tell what was going on.

Out in the hallway, Berg lied right next to the edge of the wall, to the room he was in before all had transpired. Painfully breathing was Berg, as Venom stepped outside of the room Berg previously took shelter in. As Venom quickly through both his hands down and wrapped them around Berg's head. Berg screamed even further in pain. But, with getting sick of the screams, Venom then threw Berg's head right into the wall. Seemingly, either knocking him out or killing him.

Cletus, now enraged, raced out into the hallway after Venom. But was unsuccessful in his planned attack on Venom. Whereas Venom lunged his knee right into Cletus' stomach, as Cletus fell to his knees after the blow; gripping his stomach through the attack Venom had just made upon him.

Venom snarled, as he then reached down towards Cletus and pulled him up to his feet by gripping hold of his hair. Cletus let out a deep cry of pain, as Venom lifted him to his feet. Where Venom then suddenly threw Cletus across the room like a sac of potatoes, as Cletus landed right beside the staircase. Venom then slowly begun to walk towards Cletus, as blood was now dripping from Cletus' forehead.

Once Venom was within range, Cletus quickly burst to his feet and went to throw an uppercut at Venom; but Venom counter. As Venom caught hold of Cletus' arm, then swung his free arm behind Cletus' head, as he begun to repeatedly swing Cletus' head down onto the railing. Blood was now rushing from Cletus' face after the continuous blows, where Venom finally quit. As he then pulled Cletus a few steps away from the railing, where he then suddenly threw Cletus right back at the railing, as Cletus crashed right through it; where Cletus now landed with a thud down at the bottom floor.

Cletus once again cried in pain. He tried to crawl away, but it wasn't enough. Where Venom suddenly landed right on his back, as Cletus now screamed in pain. Venom quickly threw his own head down beside Cletus'.

"How many windows do you think are in this house?" Venom asked, arrogantly awaiting Cletus' response, before answering: "Not enough."

CUT TO:

Cletus suddenly crashed through the window, where he landed to the ground once again with a thud. As his face was now cut to shreds. Cletus attempted to cry in pain, but couldn't find it in his vocals, as Venom stepped out of the window to which he had just thrown Cletus out of.

"We expect you dead when we come back to visit," Venom told Cletus, as more blood came rushing down from Cletus' face. Venom then suddenly changed his expression to looking down at Cletus, where he then snapped out of it, as Venom begun to climb up the wall of the nearby building; leaving Cletus behind, bleeding fatally in the alleyway.
 
Chapter 35:
INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(BEDROOM) - MORNING

Lying restlessly on his own bed was Eddie.

Moments past by, when suddenly, the fire alarm begun to ring. Eddie's eyes suddenly opened from the sound of the alarm, as he then leapt off his bed.

CUT TO:

Rushing down the staircase of the apartment building was Eddie, along with the remainder of the building's citizens; all of whom were rushing in terror down the steps, as smoke appeared from overhead on the staircase.

CUT TO:

On the exterior of the building was Eddie and the rest of the people who were inside.

Eddie tried to look over the crowd's heads to find somebody, where he finally caught sight of who he was looking for, Barry, who was frantically strolling around the exterior of the building.

Eddie cut through the crowd, as he begun to make his way towards Barry.

"Barry!" Eddie shouted Barry's name, but Barry himself didn't hear over the crowd's loud reception.

Catching sight of a firetruck making it up in-front of the building was Eddie. The crew on the truck all leapt off, as Barry found the captain, where he begun to scream and curse at him, in anger and frustration of the current situation.

Eddie begun to look all around the crowd of people, all of whom running around frantically.

But suddenly, Eddie felt something move beneath his shirt, as he then grabbed hold of the shirt itself, where through the fabric of the shirt, Eddie could feel something beneath it trying to grip hold of him.

Eddie's eyes suddenly widened with realization, where he then suddenly burst through the crowd in a charge, as he begun sprinting up the street.

CUT TO:

Rushing into a back alleyway was Eddie, as he cloaked himself away from the walking civilians beneath the shadow of the building with the sun directly behind it.

Taking deep, calming breaths now, Eddie slowly begun to pull the bottom of his shirt up towards his chin, where he then peered down at where his stomach would be. He saw nothing but darkness, but just to be certain, he stepped out where the sunlight shined in alleyway and discovered the symbiote on his stomach.

"No," Eddie cried, as he let go of his shirt, where he then begun to walk backwards; back into the shadows, as tears begun to roll down his eyes in the truth of the situation. "It's all real..."

Eddie then collided with the wall, as he slid down along it, finally sliding down along it until hitting the muddy gravel and cement below his jeans.

Turning out towards the crowd, everything was blurred to Eddie by his teary eyes. Eddie then lifted his hands up to his face, as he held his head in shame.
 
Chapter 36:
EXT. CHURCH - MORNING

Eddie walked along the street, slower than the crowd were, as he leaned his head down to face the ground, where he watched all of the tiles on the sidewalk move past his eyes.

But suddenly, the symbiote let off a faint cry inside Eddie's shirt. It was the church bells.

Eddie turned towards the church that was now right before him on the sidewalk, as the path before his view led him right to the church's entrance.

INT. CHURCH - MORNING

Walking inside the church now was Eddie, as he looked around it; never having been inside one before.

"It's a beautiful place," the priest at the alter simply spoke, as the words echoed across the room. "Come..."

The priest motioned for Eddie to come up to the front, as Eddie obeyed.

Finally making it past the isles, Eddie stood on the opposite side of the alter as the priest.

"You alright, son?" the priest asked.

"...Yes, Father?" Eddie was confused of what to say. The priest smirked in Eddie's confusion.

"Never been to church before, huh?"

"...No."

The priest nodded in approval, where he then exchanged a handshake with Eddie.

"Father Redmond," the priest introduced himself as Father Redmond.

"Eddie Brock," Eddie did the same, as the two quit shaking hands.

"You here to make a confession?" Father Redmond asked.

"...Not originally," Eddie hesitantly responded, as Father Redmond walked towards the confessional.

"Come," Father Redmond ordered Eddie, as Father Redmond stepped into his side of the confessional, while Eddie sat down in the one where he was supposed to be seated in, as they both closed the doors behind.

"Bless me, Father-" Eddie begun, but Father Redmond cut him off.

"Oh, so you know a little something about how confessionals work?"

"Yeah, I... saw it on TV once."

"Really? Which show?"

"...I forget."

Father Redmond sighed.

"I'm trying to make conversation here, you know?" Father Redmond explained.

"I know, I know," Eddie said, as he too sighed briefly. "...I've just been feeling a little lost lately."

"How so?"

"...Anne almost got killed... One of my closest friends may be dead... One of my only friends may be dead..."

"...Would you like to explain to me what happened? Or would you?-"

"No."

"...Okay."

"...All that I know," Eddie begun. "Is that lately... I've been doing terrible things. Or maybe it's all just a dream... But today, I may have found something to prove me otherwise... I don't know what to do..."

Father Redmond turned over to face Eddie while he spoke.

"I've always said to people who feel sorrow over their sins," Father Redmond started. "That one... simple, but good deed at a time... can make all the difference in the world... Even for the people we consider to be the worst."

Eddie took a moment to himself, as he let that last thought, spoken by Father Redmond, sink in.
