VENOM did it for them, the tiny little bite sized creatures within that apartment complex. VENOM did it for the broody guy in red spandex.
A hand grasped him and the other sunk into his shoulder, ripping a chunk off. "YOU WILL NOT WIN. WE WILL NOT LET YOU."
Because together, they were one. They were VENOM. Victorious they would be.

rain. he liked rain. one of the few things he liked about this planet. the rain. the way you could feel it with how dense the air got. as if it was preparing itself for an unchained choice and out take. and the first few drops. quiet as they hit the ground. smacking gently if it was against the pavement. once he saw human children jumping in the puddles and tilting their head back , tongues out as they caught the droplets on there. grinning and laughing as their hair became drenched. shaking their heads back and forth , droplets falling from their strands.
he had asked cletus why. why were they doing that? to which the man just shrugged and responded with " why not ? " and the symbiote had fell silent. shifting in cletus' mind and thinking. he normally wouldn't think about such things , but something had settled there. something. something. and he remembered how cletus had tilted his head back and caught droplets on his tongue , before telling carnage to take over and do the same thing. this had confused the symbiote so greatly , he was silent. but as insane as cletus was , he had a reason for everything. so he followed instructions and took over. he remembered the taste on his tongue. cold. but not unpleasant. and it brought him some ease. and later , cletus had told him he wanted him to do that. cause he wanted carnage to experience mundane joys as much as he enjoyed killing .....
cletus did it for him .....
the memory of the cold droplets was replaced by the physical feeling of a hand on him. forceful. determined. and the claws that sank into his shoulder. he could feel the skin tear , feel the way they dragged down until they reached a point and yanked. the sound of his flesh tearing was grinding and his roar was a mix of anger and pain. any nice memories of his only friend was soon replaced with nothing but red.
blood. blood. blood. it was coming from him. no. no , he needed it to come from him. he knew that voice. hated that voice. it made him want to smash his head into a wall. made him want to rip the ground until he hit the core. he would eat the lava if he had to. disgusting. disgusting. GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME !!!!!
he smacked the other with the back of his hand. grinning at the sound of the crack that followed. and then the other hitting his head against the cold brick wall. oh yes. fucking suffer. they will get this shit over with.
he wasted no time. storming over to where the other sat , stunned. he grabbed him by the head and smashed him against the bricks. over and over. even using the heel of his hand to grind his head against it. smear his disgusting face in there for good measure. bricks were worth more than him , so why not make him grovel ? he used his hand to keep his head against the wall .....
while he placed a hand on the back of his shoulder , a death grip that soon turned into carnage sinking his talons into his shoulder. deeper and deeper. before he dragged them down , slow. digging deep as if he was trying to rip out his spine. his hand was already coated in the blood of his worthless father. it was as if venom was clay and carnage was carving him into something. something that would leave a mark.
" had to repay you , pops. i know you understand. " he growled before he gasped at the next attack. gritting his teeth at the claws that had dug into his chest. nasty mark. and it was deep and stretched down to his stomach. ohhhhh. this fucker.
tendril extended and whipped venom across the face with such a force that made him stumble back. using the advantage , carnage used his other tendrils to restrain the older symbiote. by driving the sharp edges into venom's wrists and pinning him to the wall. before he could have the chance to fight back , the other tendrils slashed quickly and hard. over and over again. gashes decorating venom's torso. each one going deeper than the ones before. his roars of pain go unnoticed by carnage. making his hits faster the more he roared. until finally. he stabbed venom in the chest. deep. twisting and pushing before releasing him.
he watched as venom crumpled to the ground. face devoid of any emotion. " i think it's suffice to say. you won't be getting to that ham. "
his gaze remained on him as the older symbiote hacked up blood before falling limp. his chest mangled and no longer moving up and down. carnage was silent. watching. blank expression. before a chuckle came from him. then a louder chuckle. than a flood of laughter. causing his shoulders to shake from it. even making him wheeze as he placed his palm against the wall , trying to balance himself as tears came from his eyes. soon enough , he wiped his eyes. his tears coming from his laughter due to how much he laughed. straightening himself , he turned and headed off. leaving venom's corpse there.
" venom ??? hey bud. where are you ? " not too long after , a small darkling had made his way through the alleyways. wearing a baby blue jacket with rainbow drawstrings. eclipse frowned as his gaze swept over the area. silver had just finished making the ham and it was the way venom loved it. eclipse knew venom wouldn't wanna miss that.
it was cold from the rain still falling , causing the darkling to pull his hood up. his footsteps were soft but hurried. he really didn't wanna get drenched. that was annoying. " venom !!!!! " he called out again. " buddy , we need to get back. i know you have been thinking all day about dinn- . "
what he saw. caused him to freeze. venom laying in this alleyway. bloody. and not breathing. eclipse felt his heart stop and his feet moved for him. making him rush forward , the force making his hood fall back down. " VENOM !!!! VENOM !!! HEY !!!! "
he was by his side , shaking his shoulder. when he didn't get a reply , he tried to listen for breathing. a heart beat. something. and only received nothing. he felt the tears. rushing down his face. " venom. you gotta get up. you gotta. "
when he was met with silence still , the small alien went to the other side and shook the other shoulder. " venom. we gotta go home. "
silence.
" buddy. come on. get up. i mean it. this isn't funny !!! get up !!! right now !!! i will ..... eat your half of the ham if you don't ! "
silence.
" venom !!!!! get up , please !!!! come on big guy !!!! please !!! "
silence.
the darkling was now sobbing. hiccupping as he tried to lift his friend up. hands and arms shaking. only to cry out in anger upon failing. " come on !!! "
silence.
the darkling fell silent. looking at his friend. his best friend. before burying his face in his chest and wailing in agony.
and somewhere. on the other side of the city. carnage was tilting his head back and sticking out his tongue. catching the droplets.
idk but man i read your stuff in passing and i love?? the diversity in your writing. like you sell each one of their voices and i hear it, ya know? anyway those are my two cents.
~I have no idea what spurred this but fucking thank you mate,I do my best to make all my characters feel, and sound I guess, different and unique. Which I often fear is hard given how many I write. So thank you so much for this.
Very gently reaches out to him, cupping her adorable companion's face to pull him in and kiss the top of his head. "This kiss I bestowed on you will keep you safe, Shadow. No matter what. You will always come out unscathed." - Maria (;
The moment her delicate hands touch his face, he is enraptured. His attention is hers alone in this moment and all his existential anxiety melts away in an instant. One wonders why anything else mattered with Maria’s warmth by his side. Crimson eyes, full of wonder and innocence widen at her proclamation, his little tail wagging with fervour. Shadow’s mouth opens in a gasp of awe as he continues gazing into her eyes. “ Is that true, Maria? I didn’t know you could do magic! ”
“i mean it when i said no guns.” he’s speaking softly, not to order the other around, not to pressure him, but to reiterate his point. he’s already anxious at the thought of a room full of leaden corpses. “let’s handle this without killing anyone, please.”
