Chapter 37:
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT

Lying amongst one of the dozen white-sheeted beds in the room was Anne, who had finally opened her eyes.

INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(BEDROOM) - NIGHT

Just like Anne, Eddie was lying on his own bed, as he held his hands behind his head; while looking up to the ceiling.

"...Can you just do me this one favour," Eddie begun, as he directed his speech towards the symbiote. "Can you leave me alone for this one night, in knowing that I won't have to worry about hurting anyone else?"

Eddie awaited a response, but instead, the symbiote crawled out from underneath his shirt, as it crawled underneath his bed. Moments then past, as Eddie then took a deep breath of relief, where he then exhaled calmly.

The symbiote sat, predator-like, on the bottom of Eddie's bed; keeping the area secure.

Closing his eyes now was Eddie, as he rolled over to his side, while still lying on the bed.

EXT. RUNDOWN BUILDING; ALLEYWAY - NIGHT

Lying in a puddle of his own blood was Cletus, as a heavy amount of cuts and scrapes lied all over his body. With his stomach to the grow, and a light-layer of new fallen snow covered over-top of him; Cletus let out a cough.

Suddenly, something rattled from beside Cletus. Cletus wished to look over to see what it was, but physically couldn't. As he weeped in frustration.

Then, a hand reached down and poked Cletus on the cheek. Cletus suddenly shivered with fear, as a crowd of four, 20-something year-olds stood before him.

"Hey, pops, you got any money?" one of the thug-like guys asked. "Maybe then we could... help you... with your current predicament."

"Wow, that a pretty big word for you, Todd," one of the two girls responded this time, as the remainder of the crowd (except Todd) all laughed hysterically.

"Shut up," Todd ordered the crowd, whom didn't obey, as they continued with the laughing.

But suddenly, something else caught Cletus' eye. A shadow on the building wall. Something behind the crowd of older teenagers was stretching up to their height. Cletus then tried to warn them, but only let out of croak.

"Oh, does pops have something to say?" the other girl asked, as the whole crowd (once again excluding Todd) laughed. While Todd, himself, looked curiously down at Cletus.

Todd then suddenly turned around to face the symbiote, which then struck like a cobra at the crowd, as it wrapped itself around the group of teens repeatedly, as it begun to multiply further and further, until forming all around the group of teenagers.

The teenager's screams pierced through the symbiote, as the screams slowly begun to die down through their suffication. Whereas finally, the symbiote let go of the four teenagers. Where they all dropped onto the ground, dead.

Cletus throat choked with fear, as he begun breathing rapidly, while the symbiote made it's way towards him.

Chapter 38:
INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(BEDROOM) - NIGHT

Underneath the bed, the symbiote suddenly shook; as if a small wave had just collided with it.

On the bed, Eddie's eyes were closed. The moonlight once again shined through his curtains, covering the room with a soft (but faint) white light.

The symbiote crawled about beneath the bed frantically; as if thinking about it's next move. When suddenly, it sprung out from underneath the bed. But almost immediately, it stopped in it's tracks. Where it then crawled back underneath the bed.

Back on the bed, Eddie's eyes were still closed. As he himself was sleeping almost peacefully. However, a shadow then cast over his body. The shadow slowly moved towards Eddie, until it finally sat down next to him on the bed.

Eddie was awakened by this, as he rubbed his eyes clear with his palms. But, as he slowly begun to open his eyes, the silhouette of his love, Anne Weying, was there.

Frozen by the sight, Eddie kept his eyes open; long enough to begin to water. Finally, Anne reached towards him and touched him on the cheek. Where he finally realized this was real.

"Why aren't you at my place?" Anne asked softly.

"...You forgot to give me the key," Eddie responded, just as easily as softly spoken by Anne.

Anne smiled, as Eddie reached his hand toward her cheek. Where he then smiled with joy.

"...You're back?" Eddie hesitated to ask, as Anne nodded her head.

"I'm back," Anne answered, for the second time, as she then smiled; alike Eddie.

Finally, Eddie fell towards her and hugged her tightly with both arms. Where she then followed and did the same, as the both begun to chuckle with joy.

Chapter 39:
INT. RUNDOWN BUILDING - DAY

Inside the rundown building were a group of crime scene investigators, along with Tim. Whom all looked around the room, while Tim looked at the two bodies being dragged out in suspision.

"Two of the bodies found, but we've found traces of another outside," one of the investigators told Tim, who took a sip from his coffee cup. "It appears as if the third person was tossed through the window-"

"Which would explain why it's scattered, gotcha," Tim completed for the investigator. "Now... scurry along and finish up with your-"

"Investigating?" the investigator guessingly completed on behave of Tim.

"I was going to say bull----, but I think investigating is just another way of putting it, thank you," Tim replied, as the investigator did as commanded, where he met back up with his team of colleges.

Tim took another sip from his coffee, as he peered around the corner, where he spotted the scattered window.

CUT TO:

On an exterior road near by the Hudson River was a truck, where suddenly, Cletus leapt from it, landing with a thud along the sidewalk.

Opening his eyes after the jump was Cletus, as he saw pedestrians stopping to look at him. He looked up at them in fear and confusion, where he then stood up to his feet. The pedestrians all backed away from him, as he stumbled closer to the river.

Falling to his knees was Cletus, at the edge of the river, he looked down to the water below. The soft waves prevented him from catching his reflection.

In rage, he then leapt back up to his feet and continued to stumble. This time towards a parked vehicle.

Looking closing into the vehicle's window, slowly Cletus' current reflection became more and more so clear. Until finally revealing his brutally shredded face, where over the rest of his body lied the expanded symbiote. The symbiote was wrapped completely around his head, only to allow his face to be visible. However, the symbiote was also equally coated with a far mix of Cletus' red blood.

Cletus let out a slight chuckle over his new appearance.

Chapter 40:
INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(BEDROOM) - MORNING

Lying in bed together, awake, were Eddie and Anne. Eddie held Anne in his arms, as Anne rested her head over Eddie's chest.

"Will you promise to stay with me today?" Anne asked Eddie, where he motioned to weaving his fingers through her hair.

"I have truthfully awaited for such a day to return," Eddie replied, as he continued weaving his fingers through her hair.

"...Me too," Anne revealed in a little whisper.

"...I've gone through some terrifying times without you to hang onto," Eddie also revealed, where he paused in the middle before he continued. "I feel like with you... you make me a good samaritan."

"How was it... without me?"

"...Hard."

"...I'm sorry, Eddie..."

"...I'm sorry I wasn't rested beside you in that hospital bed like am I now, in the one place I should've been."

"You were there for me for so long... you don't need to be there everyday..."

"And you were there for me for so long... It was only a hard living without you," Eddie edmitted. However, something caught his eye along his side of the bed.

The symbiote was seated along the blankets, motionless. Eddie froze with fear and realization.

"...Eddie?" Anne sat up from the bed and looked into Eddie's eyes, where she then followed them to where he was viewing.

But the symbiote had disappeared. Anne looked back at Eddie in loss.

"...Eddie?" Anne said in a beautiful whisper, that caught Eddie's ears, where Eddie then focused his view back on her.

"...Could you make me a cup of coffee?" Eddie hesitantly asked, as Anne sat on the bed for a moment longer, curiously examining Eddie's eyes, where she then smiled. Eddie felt a moment of ease wash over him.

"I'll be back," Anne replied, where she then got off the bed and headed out of the room for the kitchen.

A suttle darkness blanketed over the room once Anne had disappeared from Eddie's sight, as he looked back to where he last saw her; feeling all alone in his own fortress of isolation.

Chapter 41:
EXT. RUNDOWN BUILDING - MORNING

Moving past the crime scene tape, leading from one building to another, Cletus walked inside the alley nearest the rundown building. With the symbiote covered all over his body; except his face. He looks at the building as he continues to walk.

However, finally stopping at a scattered window covered in plastic was Cletus. It was the window Venom threw him out of, as Cletus suddenly caught a flashback of the event.

Tears begun to roll down Cletus' eyes, as a smirk then slowly begun to set across his face.

Cletus then held his head down, where the smirk slowly turned into laughter.

"We sense the evil lurking inside you," the symbiote detected, as Cletus looked back up to the scattered window.

"I've done some terrifying things in my time," Cletus stated.

"Oh, we know... The most essential of the bunch for us is the point where you killed your wife," the symbiote slithered. "And we know you think the same way too... We could explain to you how we came along to find you... But you don't care to know, do you?"

"...I do, but I'm rather not in the mood to spark conversation," Cletus responded, as the suit's menacing voice echoed over Cletus'.

"Our brother's with the scum, if we kill him... you'll be even more so powerful with the rest of us," the symbiote explained to Cletus.

"Why don't your friends make this easy and let me slowly torture this... Eddie, to death?"

"Wouldn't you agree that'd be too easy for you- for us?..."

Cletus didn't respond, as he still awaited an answer.

"Our brothers have found a host... they're not going to give him up," the symbiote stated, as Cletus looked up to the sky. "...Yet..."

"...Of course not..."

 

[thejon93]

Chapter 42:
INT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT(BEDROOM) - NIGHT

It was night now, as Eddie and Anne lied together beneath the blankets over-top of Eddie's bed.

"We sense something terrible is going to happen tonight," the symbiote told Eddie, whereas Eddie looked to see that the symbiote was attached to the arm he had wrapped around Anne.

"...What am I to do about?" Eddie asked unfaithfully.

"No... what are-"

"God dammit, what is it with you and saying that?" Eddie cut off the symbiote.

An uncomfortable pause mounted over the bedroom, between Eddie and the symbiote, as Eddie looked down at Anne; to check if she was still asleep.

"...I'm sorry, alright?" Eddie apologized, wanting fearfully for a response. "...Alright?..."

"Get out of the bed... now," the symbiote calmly ordered Eddie, where Eddie looked down at the symbiote in loss. "Now!"

With the symbiote's faint scream, Eddie finally got out of the bed. The symbiote then crawled forcefully over Anne's body and leapt at Eddie, the force of the symbiote's leap caused Eddie to lose his balance for a moment, as he caught the table by his bed to support him; this caused a tape recorder to fall down to the floor, as the symbiote continued to wrap around Eddie.

INT. DAILY GLOBE(LOBBY) - NIGHT

The lobby, and the building itself, was moderately busy. As Julie sat behind the front counter, with two other women helping her with her duties.

"You alright, Julie?" one of the women asked, as the other looked over Julie's head at her.

"...I'm fine, Kim," Julie answered, hesitantly. The lady known as Kim then looked back up at the other woman.

Suddenly, a scream erupted near the front door. Julie, Kim and the other woman all stood up and looked into the scream's direction; where Julie slowly rose from her's. As then, a body then flew up into the air and landed back down to the floor with a thud.

With that, the crowd all ran back from whatever had done it towards the front counter.

"Oh, my God," Kim gasped in terror, with finally catching sight of the figure walking towards the front counter...

...it was Carnage; with Cletus inside the suit, fully wrapped by the symbiote. Carnage then stopped at the front counter, where he looked into the eyes of Julie. But suddenly, he then grabbed both the other women's heads as he slammed them down onto the counter. And, before she could even react, Carnage grabbed hold of Julie; both wrapping both his symbiote cloaked hands around her head.

"We want to show you how your lover died," Carnage told Julie, who was frozen with fear, where Carnage awaited arrogantly for a response. "Okay?"

And, just after that, the symbiote grew from around Carnage's hands and begun to wrap entirely around Julie's head.

FLASHBACK:

From what Carnage was projecting to her, Carnage himself was senselessly harassing Terrence in a completely darkened environment.

EXIT FLASHBACK:

Back into the lobby, the crowd were all rushing out the door. Whereas Carnage, still with his hands wrapped around Julie's head, was expressing total pleasure and joy while he fed these horrifying thoughts to Julie.

FLASHBACK:

Carnage continued to harass Terrence; where Julie's cries echoed throughout the empty environment.

EXIT FLASHBACK:

Carnage continued to feel pleasure while the evil events continued. Until, Venom finally came swinging by from along the ceiling. Where he kicked Carnage well across the room away from her.

Grabbing Julie without question was Venom, as he pushed her to the front entrance's direction. In fear of both of them, she immediately begun charging across the lobby.

However, Carnage suddenly spun a web(like)line at her. When he caught her, suddenly the symbiote on his forearm formed into a blade-like shape. Carnage then swung her right back into his own direction, where he then struck her with the formed shape; seemingly knocking her dead, even before Venom could've possibly reacted.

Angered by this was Venom, where he then charged towards Carnage. While Venom charged towards him, Carnage arrogantly stood in his position. Where Venom then speared Carnage in the gut, which knocked the villain down to his face.

Venom was about to attack Carnage again, but Carnage immediately leapt back up to his feet and lunged Venom down to the floor onto his back. Where Carnage then ran off to the doorway that led to the staircase.

CUT TO:

Behind the door, Carnage had locked the door with the symbiote itself, as it crawled along the door, Carnage let off an evil chuckle. He then heard somebody come rushing down the steps, where he then immediately cut off the chuckle.

Racing to the top of the case as silently as he could, until the man came from around the corner, where Carnage then immediately pushed him back up against the wall and begun to brutally claw at the fallen man with his razor-sharply formed fingertips.

Once Carnage had finally finished his attack on the man, he then threw the man right back down the staircase. Carnage then continued his chuckle once the man reached the bottom, as Carnage himself made it up the staircase.

Chapter 43:
EXT. DAILY GLOBE - NIGHT

The crowd from inside the lobby were now all outdoors, in-front of the Daily Globe, as they all tried their best to get as far away from the building as they could.

Suddenly, Tim caught one of the women running.

"What's happening?" Tim shouted over the crowd's volume.

"There's a monster inside the building!"

"What?-"

Before Tim could recieve a response from the woman, she took off running; in fear of her own spoken words.

Tim then rose a walky-talky to his mouth: "Send a unit over to the Daily Globe, now!" Tim commanded, where he then grabbed hold of a garbage can and chucked it at the plate-glass window to gain entry into the building.

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

Aaron was seated at his desk inside the main offices to the Daily Globe.

Moments afterwards, the opening of a door caught his attention. But no one was there, as the door slowly swung back closed.

Aaron then stood up from his seat. Where suddenly, Carnage threw his forearm right into Aaron's chest; which sent him flying out of the window.

The remainder of the staff inside the office all rose to their own feet in terror, as they all raced away from the "monster". However, stopped from proceeding towards them was Carnage by the crack of Venom's fist which slammed against Carnage's head.

Carnage then quickly turned towards Venom; with a hint of rage set across both their faces, as they both proceeded to attack each other.

Putting a sudden pause to the brawl was Carnage, who kicked Venom in the stomach. Which knocked him to the floor, among his back.

And, with one suttle mistake on the part of Carnage, Venom grabbed hold of a desk (while still on the floor) and threw it at Carnage, where it scattered as soon as it had hit him. Quickly leaping to his feet now, Venom charged towards Carnage. Where Venom then caught Carnage with his charging shoulder block, as Venom continued rushing across the room with Carnage amongst his shoulder.

Finally stopping Venom right before they reached the window was Carnage, who swung his knee right towards the back of Venom's head; which knocked Venom down to his knees.

Carnage then kicked Venom back up to his feet, and was about to kick him out the window before Venom suddenly caught hold of his foot. However, with Carnage's free one, he lifted it off of the floor and swung it towards Venom's head, which collided with the window; scattering the glass to the window itself. As the symbiote amongst Eddie's face instantly crawled away back down on his body after the attack. Falling back down to his knees was Venom, with the symbiote suit itself panting from the piercing sound of the scattered window.

Carnage then knelt down beside Eddie.

"You ever wonder how many windows there are in this city?" Carnage mocked Venom. "...Not enough for you."

Carnage then lifted Venom over his own head and then swung him right out another window. Where, as soon as the collision occured, the symbiote amongst Eddie's body fell away from him with the sound of the scattered window. As Eddie himself fell to the streets below, only to be caught again by Carnage. Who then swung Eddie back down towards the first floor's plate-glass window, as Eddie's back crashed right into it; bleeding from the cuts after landing amongst the floor.

Walking towards Eddie now was Carnage, as he showcased his demonic teeth through his evil smirk. But suddenly, somebody had shot Carnage in the back. It was a young police officer, who shook with terror of the monster; while the bullet landed right where Carnage's spine would be.

Stumbling to turn around to face the officer was Carnage, as he tried to remain standing upright.

"...Why did you shoot me?" Carnage asked, as Cletus' voice came fading over-top of Carnage's own. "...Did I ever hurt you? Your family?... No!-"

With that scream, the officer shot Carnage again repeatedly until his magazine came dry. The symbiote amongst Cletus' body then screamed in vein, as Cletus' cries of pain laped over-top of it again.

Running back down to the lobby after hearing the gunshots was Tim, who ran towards Eddie.

Carnage then straightened back up, as Tim slid along beside Eddie.

"Tim... is that you?" Carnage asked, this time, Cletus' voice was fully dubbed over Carnage's.

"...How do you know my name?" Tim then stood up to his feet, as he begun walking around Carnage strikefully.

"...Blame Eddie, my friend. Blame Eddie."

Tim then turned towards Eddie, "What'd you tell him about me?..."

Eddie couldn't find a response, where Tim then grabbed Eddie by his collar.

"What'd you tell him about me?!" Tim screamed in rage.

"I didn't- I didn't tell him any-" Eddie was suddenly cut off, where he noticed Carnage had threw him off with the remaining energy he had. Carnage then went to strike Eddie, but Eddie instantly rolled out of the way, where he once again found his own symbiote. The symbiote then latched repeatedly at Eddie's arm, forming a large, clubbing fist. Where Eddie then swung the formed fist as hard as he could at Carnage, who was sent back flying across the lobby; landing painfully right up-against the wall.

Recovering from the blow by Carnage was Tim, who leaned back up, just in time to catch Eddie running out of the lobby, with the symbiote trailing behind.

Chapter 44:
EXT. EDDIE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Rushing to get inside the building, Eddie reaches in his back pocket for his keys. But soon discovers that they are not there.

In anger, he throws his fist at the door. Taking a deep, calmy breath now was Eddie as he sat down on the ground; right beside the door.

Moments were passing by, as Eddie watched the remaining crowds on the street go through their routine of "getting home before dark". Eddie chuckled at his thought.

Suddenly, somebody opened the door; where Eddie then leapt to his feet. It was Barry and, his wife, Lucy.

"Hey Barry. Hey Lucy," Eddie greeted the both of them, as they moved out of the way to let Eddie inside.

"Forget your keys, Eddie?" Lucy asked, where Barry chuckled.

"Weren't out drinking tonight, were you?" Barry also asked Eddie.

"Yes and no, I must say," Eddie answered the both of them, as he smiled through their warmth.

"Well, have a good night Eddie," Lucy waved to Eddie, as she walked towards the van parked in-front of the building. Barry was about to leave as well, before Eddie stopped him.

"Wait," Eddie called, where Barry then turned around to face Eddie. "I'm sorry, Barry. I've been... I've been-"

Barry smirked, where he then set his hand on Eddie's shoulder.

"It's alright, my friend," Barry told Eddie, as Eddie then smiled. Barry then walked towards the van, as well. "You have a good night now, Eddie!"

"...You too," Eddie said almost faintly.

CUT TO:

To the hallway on the level of his apartment, Eddie reached down for the doorknob to his own apartment. Where suddenly, Anne opened the door before he could even have the chance to twist the knob.

However, as soon as she caught sight of Eddie, she ran away from him back into the apartment out of fear. Eddie stood frozen out in the hallway.

"Get away from me," Anne cried, as her face was blood red from the tears rolling from her eyes.

"...I know what I've done-"

"No you don't!" Anne cut him off, as she grabbed hold of the tape recorder and turned it on: over the recording, Eddie could hear Venom's monsterous gasps where he then heard the window open and close. "What the hell is that?..."

Eddie tried to speak, but couldn't find the words.

Where suddenly, Anne gasped in fright after her attention rolled away from the doorway. Eddie turned around to see the symbiote rested alongside the door.

Anne then turned back to face Eddie, as she screamed, "What have you done to yourself?!"

"...I wish I could give you an answer," Eddie begun, where he then paused briefly. "But the truth is: I don't even know myself anymore. I made the best choice of my life once in loving you... but tonight, I left you..."

Eddie lowered his head in shame, where he then reached over in the closet and grabbed hold of his coat; he checked to see if the wallet was inside, as he then put it on.

"...Worst mistake of my life," Eddie told Anne. "You have every right to stay, I don't."

Eddie closed the door behind him, whereas the symbiote then latched onto him and crawled beneath his coat. Marching towards the elevator now was Eddie, where he then pushed the button to call for the elevator.

"Eddie," Anne stood in the middle of the hallway, holding a picture frame in her safely in her arms. "Take this..."

She turned the picture towards him, it was a picture of the first night they were together. Eddie looked at it and smiled, as the elevator finally made it to his level. He looked back up at Anne.

"I don't need a picture to remember you by... nor do I deserve to remember you at all," Eddie explained, as he then stepped into the elevator and instantly pushed the button to the bottom floor.

CUT TO:

Eddie unlocked his bicycle from the bike rack outside, as he pulled it out from the rack itself. He then took off up the street riding it.

EXT. DAILY GLOBE - NIGHT

People were crowded around the ambulance, where they all made it out of the way for the stretcher carrying Cletus's lifeless body amongst it; however, although he was dead, he was still heavily handcuffed and barred down to the stretcher to keep him from escaping.

Over the crowd, Tim looked over at the SWAT team; seemingly carrying the symbiote off to their vehicle in a durable-metal box. Tim then turned his attention to the ambulance, where suddenly, the doors closed in his face, as the ambulance itself drove off with Cletus inside.

EXT. CROSSWALK - MORNING

It was morning now, as Eddie got off of his bike before reaching the crosswalk, where he then guided his bike across it.

Eddie turned towards a vehicle stopped before the crosswalk, it was signally that it was about to turn the corner. However, the traffic was against the vehicle.

Finally making it across the street was Eddie, as he leapt back on his bike. However, before he took off, he then stopped himself, as he looked down at the button to change the traffic's moment. He didn't need to cross, but he pushed the button for the vehicle.

Where Eddie was about to take off again, the church bells rang in the distance. Eddie happily noticed them, as he checked his watch. The time was 12:00 exactly. Eddie smiled, where he finally continued riding the bike... up to wherever the pedal would take him.

THE END

Well, I hope you enjoyed the read. If you've been keeping up, I'd hope that you'd stick around for I'm going to be editing all previous posts for any errors... and possibly adding in some extended sequences.
