    @ Theo Rossi;

    It was surprisingly a very sunny day in San Francisco near the stroke of 10 am. Carmilla drove on her black and purple motorcycle, it roaring to life as she sped past groups of cars towards the road that lead to the helicopter to get to the maximum prison on the Alcatraz, a prison building surrounded by water...no way out it seems. Carmilla parked her bike in the visitors lot, her uncle who was the warden of the prison gave her max clearance to get to interview the most dangerous man alive. She wanted to impress her professor and overachieve as she always did. Blasting her favorite rock band in her ear as she drummed her short black fingernails on her notebook, Carmilla watched as the helicopter dropped down on to the landing platform of the prison and started following the officers.

    Carmilla brushed down her dark jeans and button up dark purple shirt from the wind while keeping up with the officers. "Your Uncle gave me direct orders to keep you safe at all times. You can visit Cletus at the hours given on your paper for everyday and only can stay to the hour noted, no later. He is not allowed to touch you but don't be surprised by his verbal remarks. There is molecular sound waves in the room that you can't hear but the symbiote within him can, preventing him from being Carnage. Even mortal he can still be dangerous. Any questions?" He said so fast as she nodded slowly, swallowing the lump in her throat as the officer brought her to the highly secured double metal doors and unlocked them with a loud hiss as they opened "Hes waiting for you" the officer noted as Carmilla took a deep breath before entering the very large room with Cletus' small barred cell in the middle.

    -----

    "Morbing Ms Chen" Eddie greeted the Asian woman behind the counter as she lazily waved "Hi Eddie, how's your friend." Eddie nodded slowly with a chuckle "Venom is fine" he states as he walks through the aisles to get to the freezer section "Morning Ms Chen!" Venom announces as Eddie shook his head slightly, grabbing the tator tots and box of chocolate bars that were on the reserved shelf for him. "I heard you have a new set of neighbors, one of them came for cigarettes, strange dark haired girl named Carmilla" Chen said, "She was with her friend that seemed cute. You need to go out, get out of run down apartment and make more friends" Chen lectured.

    "Yeah yeah I will get there, I don't exactly want to scare the neighbors off" Eddie stated as he went to the counter to pay the food "The previous neighbor deserved it, he was a asshole" Ms Chen grunted and gathered his money, bagging the food for him "Well you two have a good night...don't scare off the nice girls, don't be a dick" she shouted as he walked out.

    "Damn that lady is a pain in my ass" Eddie mumbled as he walked back to his apartment down the block. "I like her though" Venom chuckled in his mind as Eddie soon started making his way near his apartment.

    Cletus looked at the doors as they opened. He was surprised to know that he had a visitor, and he was very curious. He could feel Carnage in the back of his mind, fighting against the sound waves. He wanted out, but it wasn’t happening right now. He looked over at the girl next to the guard. Her dark hair caught his attention. He hadn’t realized that it was a girl interviewing him. He leaned back against the bars and scanned her from head to toe. It didn’t matter that it was a female interviewing him. He was just surprised she could get the clearance to even be here.

    “So you have questions for me?” he asked, taunting her lightly. He wondered how long she would last. Carnage was intrigued by the sight of her squared shoulders. Cletus smiled a little. He leaned forward just a little as they came further into the room. The guard looked at Cletus as he stepped closer to the bars.

    “You know the rules,” the guard barked. “And you know what will happen if you disobey.” Cletus knew the rules; they were had just been read to him. No touching, no sexual remarks, and no violent attacks. He knew them too well, but he mat or may not listen to them. He did what he wanted.

    “Aren’t you too close to the bars, sir?” Cletus said sarcastically.

    ***

    Theodora was walking back to her new apartment from school. Her back was clutched close to her body. She hated moving to new towns; she had taken a wrong turn and turned a ten minute walk into a twenty. She was almost on her block when she felt someone following her. Thea tried to shake that thought off her mind. She was in a big city; there wasn’t a way that someone was nearby. As she turned down an alley, the feeling got worse. The alley was supposed to be a shortcut, and it was seeming like it was a mistake.

    “Ma’am, did you drop something?” a voice asked from behind her.

    Thea turned looking down at her belongings. Before she could look up, there was a gun pointed at her. She let out a yell, hoping that someone would hear her. “What do you want?” she asked, her hands going up.

    “Give me your purse,” he said stepping closer to her. Thea started to shake. She didn’t have any money on her, and she was scared of what he was going to do when he realized that.

    Carmilla raised her brow at Cletus, obviously he was older than her slightly...she was in her mid 20s and he was probably in his 30s. Something about him always fascinated her and this was her chance to go far above anyone else at her institution. This shit would definitely impress her bosses. Carmilla looked at the guards, giving a nod "I got it from here. He won't be too moronic" she said with a assured tone "I'll give the signal if he gets too out of hand...my uncle would know, he's the warden" she reminded, kind of giving the answer to Cletus already how she was able to get in.

    Carmilla took a seat on the black fold out chair that was set right in front of him and his cell. The space between the bars were very tight but it was still manageable to see each other perfectly. When the guard leaves and closes the door behind them, Carmilla glances up at Cletus  "You always wanted to tell your story...you always wanted apparently to let out your entire mind on someone who can handle your brutality. Well...here I am" she smiled. Pulling out her pen and paper, she sits back "Unless you want to know me more before you let your blood and guts all over me... you don't scare me FYI...." she taunted back at him.

    ---

    "I said give me your purse" the man shouted near Eddie as he paused, the whimpering sounding very feminine as it definitely perked his curiosity of what was going on. Eddie peeked around the corner, glancing at the rugged man trying to rob the woman that looked familiar. He narrowed his eyes "Isn't that the neighbor?" Venom growled "Thats the girl that lives with the other one across the hall. I say we eat him! Be the good guys eating bad guys". Eddie nodded slowly, thinking about it as he slowly snuck around behind the man before letting Venom take over. Venom growled and used his symbiote hand to tug the man towards him and dangle him above Venoms mouth "Pitiful human preying on nice young lady, perfect for snacking and feasting on delicious organs" he growled.

    "Ah shit please--!" But the man is cut off as Venom opens his mouth wide and uses his tongue to guide the man down into his mouth, swallowing him up whole with a low growls. Venom shudders and stares at Thea "Hello! I'm Venom" he grinned wide with his fangs as he held out his hand to shake. "I think you are making her nervous" Eddie said in his mind. Venom frowned and pulled the hand back "Sorry" he then shifts back to Eddie who shook his head "I hope I didn't scare you"

    Cletus looked at her curiously. "I don't scare you? What makes you think I won't try to break out of this cell right now?" he asked. He couldn't tell if she was being naïve or she genuinely believed that he wouldn't try to do something. Though knowing that her uncle was the warden of this place, he could see how she got back here. She just had to ask to visit. He leaned forward looking at her in the eyes. Carnage was aching to get out for more than just being locked up. He was intrigued by the stubborn attitude she seemed to be showing. Carnage was calling out to Cletus, saying "Want her". He looked around his cell. "I have a lot of things that I could say. I just need to know where to start," he said.

    He watched her, trying to get a read on her. He liked that she didn't seem to shy away from him, like everyone else did. She was right. He did want someone who could handle his brutality, but he honestly didn't believe that such a person could exist. Afterall, he was a deranged serial killer, and he wouldn't ever want to stop. He had that itch since he was a child, and it never left. He didn't suppose it ever would. Carnage knew that the only way to see if she was being honest was to test her.

    ***

    Thea had watched as Venom ate the man whole in front of her. She didn't know what to say or do. She stood frozen as the creature introduced himself and held out his hand. When what she thought looked like black slime shrank away revealing a man beneath the creature, she still stared with opened mouth. Thea shook her head. "What was that?" she asked when she finally found her voice. She was shaken, and it showed in her voice. A part of her seemed to think that Venom wouldn't hurt her because if it wanted to then it would. The thing ate a man twice her size whole. She looked at the man that she remembered seeing around the apartment building a couple times. She figured that was her neighbor. She still back from him just a little. Of all things to save her, Venom was not what she thought would.

    "Who is Venom?" she asked, Thea's voice less shaky this time. She looked at her neighbor. "Please, I won't go running to the news or anything. I just want to know who saved me." Though she was worried if that was going to open a whole can of worms of her knowing too much. Maybe he was supposed to be secret and i someone found out his identity, she would then be in danger. Her dark eyes looked into his, just wanting her nerves to go away and to know that she was safe.

    Carmilla looked at Cletus as he studied her, noticing his dark eyes scanning her body that did make her wonder the filthy things going through his mind, whether it was the pleasure in tearing her apart or other things from his dirty mind. It still never scared her...afterall, after her mom died from cancer when she was 7, her dad distracted her and himself with the mystery channels and murder and serial killers. She became obsessed with the psychology on a killers mind...and rather so in love with it. Not to mention she had incidents in the past that made her question whether she was becoming just like them.

    Carmilla smiled politely, leaning back in her chair "even you came out of there...I wouldn't stop you...it's your instinct..." she cleared her throat "Well....my name is Carmilla Ravencroft...dad owns Ravencroft Institute and my mother well...passed on when I was 7. Obviously my uncle is the warden and I wanted to impress and destroy my competition by interviewing the most notorious killer I have researched" she said honestly "You want to start from the beginning? Or basic ice breakers like favorite thing you liked to do when you had the itch to kill?" She said, her soft young eyes meeting his constantly.

    ---

    Eddie felt horrible that he...well they...startled his neighbor completely. He cursed his mind for possibly blowing the chance to get to know her. "I'm so sorry" he said in a calm, cautious voice, keeping a safe distance to not startle the woman "Uh Venom is my....well....hard to explain. He's like a slime alien living inside of me that likes to pop out when he's hungry or wants to stop the bad guys in a way" he shrugged a bit. Eddie watched her carefully and showed sincere worry in his eyes when she started panicking as he held his hands out in concern "No no no please don't think that..."

    Eddie slowly walked towards her to close in the space, not wanting to run her off scared but showing means of comfort from the experience she just had. Gently his hands touched the outside of her upper arms as he stared hard into her eyes "Biggest question is are you okay? He could of done horrible things to you if I didn't get here in time...look, if you want to I can come to your apartment to keep you company or you can come to mine or I can give you space, whichever is best. I just want you safe is all" he said honestly as Venom purred "aww how sweet".

    Cletus looked at her. He was intrigued by her. To say she hit the nail on the head about his instinct was more than accurate. Though he wasn’t sure if he would kill her. There was something there that seemed to call to him. Something that said she was like him, though in what way he didn’t know. At least not yet, but he was going to find out. He stood up and went to the bars of his cell. “I could say that my mother didn’t love me enough, but that would be a stereotype, wouldn’t it?” he teased, looking into her eyes. “No, I think it was more that I was different. I didn’t need her love, so I ignored it. I found what I needed in life.”

    He moved closer to where she was as he talked. “And if you want to know what my favorite thing I liked to do, I liked to make cuts all over the body just to watch the blood,” he said, looking at her almost imagining what hers tasted like. “But you know I’m going to be famous because of you. Everyone loves a good serial killer! And you are going to get the credit to be close to me. The one who tasted blood and can’t get enough.”

    He leaned in closer to her. “Do you know that I found my instinct almost on accident? I didn’t plan to kill that first person, but it gave me such a rush!”

    ***

    Thea looked up at Eddie. After hearing his explanation, she calmed down. She didn’t feel as scared now, but she was still shaking. “I don’t want to be alone, and I get you won’t hurt me,” she said, meeting his eyes. “I just am so freaked out. But he didn’t hurt me, honest. Just pointed a gun at me.” Her words didn’t calm her any. The thought of someone aiming a gun at her was going to haunt her nightmares for a few months, but she seemed to have a hero. And to be honest, she was very curious about Venom. This is the first time she had been told that aliens were real.

    “I can bake you some brownies or cookies,” she said, “you know as a thank you.” And she was very thankful that he got to her in time. She nodded her head towards the apartment building. “I’m told I make the best desserts.” She reached up and grabbed his arm, gently tugging him. She wanted to make it up to him in some way even if it was something small. Plus, she could actually make a friend besides her roommate in this town something her parents worried about when she moved off.

    Carmilla watched his every movement as he got closer and closer to where she sat while in his cell. As he talked, she wrote notes but made sure to pay attention 100 percent to get every detail as possible. She had a gift of memory to remember these types of information relating to her major interests, him being one of them. Cletus Casady had that glint in his eye...that soulless unempathetic gleam that reflected just how much of an animal he was as a human being. With the symbiote inside of him, he was far more than human. Carmilla wanted to ask about Carnage but those were baby steps. It was obvious though, she wasn't phased by his words or his predatory movements.

    Carmilla smiled slightly when he mentioned the accidental founding of the rush to kill, "Something similar liked that happened to me. In school i was always picked on. I found a love for the darker side of things, the animals and creatures a lot feared, the art of death and dark history of killers and as a kid, the monsters like Dracula, sleepy hollow, Grimm fairytales,  scary stories that never scared me. But when my mother died, that I guess gave one of the little group of pink clothed bitches the advantage to make my life hell. So....she made fun of my mother....dying and suffering....and I returned the favor...." Carmilla paused, her uncle always knowing this story so she was never afraid to speak about it "I grabbed the scissors in my art pouch, stabbed her pretty little thin leg with it and tackled her, cutting at her hair while I could before I was tugged off. I had great connections with my family that just gave me psychiatric evaluation and home schooling...no detention center...they said it was a attack out of being provoked and rattled with grieving emotions...cameras recorded it all in that cafeteria..." she breathed out, her eyes staring to the wall before going back at his face, "It was definitely a rush when I did that....I felt....unstoppable..." she scoffed at herself "pretty crazy thing to be honest"

    ----

    Eddie was honestly so relieved when she calmed down and said she wasn't scared about him and Venom. His hands slowly left her shoulders and went to his sides as he slowly nodded to her words "Well I'm glad you weren't hurt before the gun or during it. It's still...a fucked up thing to do to a woman if you ask me. Any scumbag who pulls a gun on someone like yourself is bound to get...well...eaten." 'And he tasted delicioussss" Venom hissed that made Eddie chuckle, "Sorry he talks loud in my head so if I seem crazy, I apologize" he smiled.

    Once she mentioned about cookies and brownies, Venom jerked in his brain "Chocolate! That has to be chocolate...we need to go, now! Cookies....brownies..." he growled in happiness as Eddie smirked towards her "You got him excited...name is Eddie...Eddie Brock in case I didn't say my name" he cleared his throat. Eddie smiled wider and chuckled when the woman was tugging at her "Okay you got me. Treat me to your bakery. I'm down to try anything. Gets me a chance to get out of the apartment...." he said in pure honesty as Venom was tugging at his mind with the woman to get to that place filled with sweets the alien craved. Eddie looked down at her as he walked up the stairs "Oh what's your name again? I remember your friend is that dark clothed woman that left this morning for something she does...what's your name?" He repeated himself, actually a little nervous in being near her because of Venom and...he was already having a start of liking her since she moved in.

    Cletus cocked his head at her. Her story caught his attention; maybe she was like him. Now, he wanted to know more, and he had never felt like he would be curious about another person. Even Carnage was intrigued. “Like us,” Carnage muttered. He was wanting to closer to her, and the bars in front of him weren’t allowing it. He grabbed the bars and watched her. “So I want to know. Have you you acted out again?” he asked, honestly wanting to hear her answer. “Or have you been giving into the society’s judgement on right and wrong? Or maybe you haven’t had a reason to yet.”

    Cletus pushed away from the the bars and started to pace around the small cell. This wasn’t the first time he felt like one of those zoo animals. “I think that’s something mistake about me. I’m not crazy; I’m vengeful,” he said. “Do wrong by me, and I’ll make it right one way or another.” He didn’t know if he was just telling her or warning her. Though it might be a combination of both. He figured he would be kind enough to her by warning her. Something he never did to anyone else.

    ***

    Thea nodded in agreement to his words. It was a bit traumatic to have a gun pointed at her. She was still shaken by it, but she felt safe with Eddie and Venom. Which she didn’t know if it was because he saved her or if it’s because him. She walked with him into their building. “I’m Theodora, but everyone calls me Thea,” she said, surprised that she forgot to introduce herself. She was blaming the ordeal. “Yeah, that was my friend Carmilla,” she said. She was a little worried that maybe he was more interested in her friend, but yet she shouldn’t think about it.

    As she lead him up the stairs, she looked back at him. “I hope Venom likes chocolate because I believe you can never have enough,” she said. She was curious about how it worked with him talking to Venom in his head, but she didn’t want to invade his privacy. “I don’t think you’re crazy, at least knowing that you have him living inside of you. Do a lot of people assume you’re crazy?” Thea asked, digging out her apartment keys. Unlocking the door, she opened the door and stepped in.

    Carmilla thought closely about another time she felt the rage in her get as strong as that day in that cafeteria. She tapped her pen a bit against the notebook "Honestly there were times...where I felt it brewing but of course I backed down. I mean I'm honestly not sure...I really wanted to know what was going on inside my brain but my father didn't really want to deal with the idea of his daughter being crazy...so he didn't further investigate my mind and put a lot of it under the rug..." she shrugged, "Guess I found my calling when I got into this major on psychology and criminals..." she glanced at him.

    Hearing the comment on him being vengeful intrigued her as she wrote it down "That comment says a lot...especially from what I have read about you" she looked back up at him "You at the St Estes orphanage....burned it down for causing you to suffer....and pushing the girl in front of a bus for laughing at you all because you wanted a date. You were beaten nearly to death by your father and eventually brutally murdered him and your mother for not doing anything about it.... vengeance was key to those... and honestly, they all deserved it" she whispered for only him to hear. Carmilla cleared her throat and reached in her bag "I'm going to be getting something to eat with my uncle soon...and I offered to bring your lunch when I get back....but for now...

    Carmilla paused as she grabbed her composition notebook and the safest writing utensil under regulations. She breathed out and walked towards him, getting right up close face to face only inches from the bars. She opened up the slot in the middle of the bars to hand him the notebook and writing tool "This is your way to lay down your thoughts....anything....any way for me to learn more about your thought process. It can even be pictures..." she smiled, her scent obviously very obvious with how close she was.

    ----

    Eddie nodded as she said her name "Thea, I like that. Glad I finally can have a name for you. Ohhh Carmilla that's right. Yeah she looked at me funny this morning, I guess she's not always the most friendliest of sociable people to greet" he chuckled, not focused on that woman in anyway but sometimes wondered what her friend was doing away all day "Well yeah people look at me funny when I walk the streets talking to myself when I'm really talking to Venom. People just assume I'm crazy or talking in an ear piece through a phone call. Though Venom acting like an ass sometimes does not help me in anyway from keeping my cool" he smirked as they encounterd her door. 'I can eat so much chocolate!" Venom growled hungrily in response to Thea mentioning about chocolate.

    "You got him very excited now" Eddie chuckled as he entered the apartment Thea opened up and closed behind them. Eddie looked around and nodded slowly, noticing how it was similar to his but more kept like women always did to keep things clean and organized "Nice place...more clean than mine. I'm a mess and never keep things neat at times...though I try but the asshole inside of me fucks it up" he chuckled, standing near her as he studied her. Eddie rubbed the back of his neck, actually getting a tiny bit flustered with being around her. She was gorgeous to look at and he knew Venom was going to pick on that but he didn't care. He felt comfortable and already happy everytime she spoke and was near him "Need my help to make the food? Probably don't want me to mess it up" he cackled, leaning his back against the counter to watch her carefully.

    Cletus listened to her list the things had down. All of them were true, and he didn’t feel guilty. If anything, he took a little pride in what he did. “You know it’s not good to bottle things up and push it under the rug. It manifest in crazy ways,” he said, chuckling under his breath. “Push you to do dangerous things like get up close to a killer. Maybe even talk about what he’s done and say they deserved it. One might think you were just as messed up as me.” He watched as she lifted the slot. He was curious of what she thought he would write in there. Though sometimes he surprised himself.

    He caught a hint of her perfume, and he reached out to what she had offered. Though he took a hold of her wrist and pulled her arm in. He could feel his nails dig into her from his grip. “I’ll keep you entertained when you read this,” he teased, letting go and taking the pencil and notebook from her. He stepped back before the guards could suspect anything aloof from him. As much as he didn’t care about the punishment, he wanted to see her again. Even if it was just to see how far he could push her. “I’m looking forward to whatever food you bring me,” he said, knowing that it was a bit of a lie. The food they fed him was disgusting, but it was just food.

    ***

    Thea nodded as she listened to him. “I can imagine,” she said as she went around her kitchen gathering the ingredients. She glanced over at him. She kind of laughed at her roommate giving him a weird look. “Yeah, Carmilla can be like that sometimes,” she said. She had been friends with her for most of her life, and some people thought she was difficult or just plain rude. Thea never thought that about her, just knew that was how she was. Thea got out a bowl and and started to mix the dry ingredients. “But she has been one of the best friends I have,” she said.

    Theodora laughed when she heard that she made Venom excited. “Well, I’m glad to hear that. I always enjoy baking, and if I need a taste tester, I can get him then,” she teased. Honestly, she hoped she could. She always needed someone to test out new recipes on. She looked over at him. “It’s never too late to learn how to bake,” she said. “I can teach you if you want. Might keep Venom a little less cranky. If you made sweets for him, he might keep the place more clean. You know that saying about catching flys with honey.” She cracked an egg into the batter. She looked over at him curious about his reaction.

    Carmilla listened how he was darn right true how she is basically just as messed up as him in a way...and how things are manifesting in her right now. She could believe that. Her mind always went into the most darkest of places at certain points and she was very deranged from society. It...made her really think about herself for that spare moment as she went up while Cletus spoke. As he tugged her arm in rather harshly, Carmilla winced slightly but didn't freak out in anyway to get him in trouble or make security bust through those doors. It made her nose touch the bars as she was eye to eye with him, his breath flowing on her face and his touch was strong with rough skin that moved against her very smooth skin. Honestly her blood did run cold briefly when he had a hold but she showed no ounce of fear.

    Carmilla smiled softly and nodded when he said he was going look forward to her. As Cletus stepped back, she gently pulled her arm out, redness from where he grabbed showing on her wrist for a few moments, along with some indents of the nails. "I might...make some modifications to your meal....I'll be right back..." she smiled.

    Carmilla was gone for a good half hour to be with her Uncle but didn't eat much of her packed lunch. As her uncle talked to her sometimes and a lot to his staff in the office, her mind wandered to Cletus so much...his piercing eyes, his grip...his words that filled her mind. Her uncle talked so much bad about Cletus being a monster but...her head flew around that concept. Was she slowly just like him?

    When that past 45 minutes was up, Carmilla took Cletus' food tray that had this disgusting muck for food. Secretly she tossed the mucky sandwich and replaced it with her PB&J, something he hasn't had probably in so long. And she replaced a stale corn muffin with one of her chocolate bars. She kept the vegetables on the tray though. As she entered the large dungeon room once again with the doors shutting behind her, Carmilla sighed and went up to his cell "Brought something better...figured you would like it" she said as she slowly opened the slot, not scared of him trying to grab her or hurt her.

    ----

    Eddie laughed lowly about Thea saying how difficult Carmilla could be and how strange she was, but took it to heart when she stated that the two were best friends. Seems to be a tell tale thing for one of the pair of best friends to be darker and more antisocial than the other. "Sounds like your friendship is similar to mine...Venom is the darker one and I'm well...just flowing with everything." He slowly nodded, hiking his eyebrows when Thea went on about teaching him how to bake and how it would actually help Venom not be so rebellious and destructive. "Damn I never thought about it that way...like giving a dog something to keep him at bay and busy so it doesn't tear up the furniture." Thats when Venom growled "I'm no fury four legged shit"

    "Well he would be happy to taste test...." and right when Eddie said that, Venoms head came out with a trail of symbiote connected to Eddie's back. Venoms face was full on looking at what she was doing and getting close "I would love to taste your deliciousness" his tongue drooled saliva on the floor "Sorry, I make messes" the head turns to Eddie "But I'm not a dog" he growled as Eddie put his hands up "Okau okay big guy"

    Venoms head watched Thea bake, almost pressing against her arm to get as close and sniff the ingredients "this looks so good....better then Chens" Eddie rolled his eyes, "Hey I'm not a cooker or anything I'm sorry everything is processed" he chuckled "I guess Venom likes you a lot...he's like a toddler" he smiled, his eyes watching Thea closely with his mind wandering how close he was wanting to get to know her and so on.

    Cletus flipped through her notebook a little curious about what she had in it. He wrote in it most of it was his savage thoughts and the one word that has been ruling his mind for his whole life: Carnage. It was something that he lived by since he was young and didn’t even knew what that word even meant. It was just his instinct, and he followed it down to the letter. As he wrote the word again, he heard the doors open to the room around his cell. He hadn’t even realized any time had passed from when she left. He looked up at her and closed the notebook.

    “Well, I am surprised that you found a way to bring me actual food,” he commented, a little impressed. The guards were always watchful and never far. The amount of things that rarely slipped past them was a testament to how much they trusted the inmates in the prison. “You are a crafty little thing.” This was probably the closest thing to a compliment he gave anyone. He pulled the tray from her, not really wanting to test her again. He would wait when she wasn’t ready and braced for it. He pushed her pencil and notebook back towards her in the slot. He was curious as to her reaction to his raw thoughts.

    He picked up the sandwich and took a bite. He almost moaned at the taste at actual food in the first time since he had been locked up. He quickly devoured the PB&J and went for the chocolate bars. As much as he hated to admit it, he did enjoy the simple things from time to time. “Now, you may prove useful,” he said.

    ***

    Thea shook her head at the comparison to Venom being a dog, but she got the point of what he was saying. Seeing his head appear was a little strange, but she figured it would be easier to get his reaction. She started to pour the batter into the pan. “Messes can be cleaned,” she said, waving off his concern. She figured as long as it wasn’t blood and guts she could get it cleaned easily enough. It wouldn’t be the end of the world for her to mop a little drool.

    Thea could feel Venom pressing in close to her. She didn’t mind it one bit,, especially since he seemed intrigued by what she was doing. Though it was strange that something with that many fangs was in her kitchen and she wasn’t freaking out about it. She leveled out the batter in the pan and grabbed some chocolate chips to put on the top. “I would hope that this would be better than any of those processed things from the store. My mom always said that I cooked with love,” she said as she sprinkled the chips over the top. And then grabbed the white chocolate chips she had.

    “You wanna taste the chips?” Thea asked looking at Venom. She held up a handful to his face. She glanced over at Eddie offering him some too. She was honestly enjoying Venom’s enthusiasm over her cooking, and he hadn’t even tasted it yet. Thea couldn’t remember the last time someone was like this for anything she cooked.

    Carmilla smiled honestly at the sight of him enjoying the food. It made her feel rather confident that she was able to get compliments such as that and make him impressed at her. Carmilla sat down and read through the journal, noticing the main term of Carnage....even his dark thoughts of what he was thinking while he was staring at her and talking with her. It was raw thought process that was complete gold to her studies. She felt so victorious at seeing and reading this, even if it was directed towards her.

    Carmilla read over the violent thoughts he had towards her and of course the violent sexual ones that rather...intrigued her. It was detailed and very...imaginative in a way. It definitely helped her studies a lot. "I see your thoughts really went somewhere when I walked into her and sat in front of you" she said honestly with no shyness from the topic at all "Also your talk on Carnage and freeing people through killing is...very philosophical in a way" she noted, scooting up her chair more so she sat right in front of him as he finished eating "I can always supply you with a good lunch at least. It will be like that through clearance but it's better than muck and eating that horrible shit" she chuckled, running her hands through her hair as she twirled her pen around "tell me....what would your plans be if you were to get out of here? I'm curious if something like that were to happen...what's the plan?"

    ---

    Venom watched carefully as the batter was poured into the pan, licking his lips "so tasty looking...and agreed! Messes can be cleaned! He whines about it" Venom chuckled with a wide grin "processed stuff...thats what Eddie buys? I need to see you more often...be my cook! Eddie wouldn't mind" Eddie only rolled his eyes "easy on the offers there big guy, you can't just kidnap her...she can cook when she can for you and that's it. Be nice about it, not greedy...and savor your food dammit. You scarf it up so fast like a vacuum." Venom growled lowly, licking at the batter that fell on the counter.

    Seeing the chips in her hand made Venom perk up as he pecked off the chips with hums of excitement. Eddie smiled and nodded, taking the chips from the other hand and snacking on them "Does your dark friend not like your cooking? She seems to be kind of out there sometimes. That just how she is? You seem more easy to approach as you can see" he joked, standing close to her while eating the food she gave "You know, to pay you back for this I can take you out to eat to a restaurant. Get you out and about, show you the ropes of this town. Would you like that?"

    Cletus glanced up at her from the tray at her words. He knew that she would read his thoughts that he had written out. And he didn’t skirt around his thoughts about her. He knew that he would claim her if the opportunity presented itself. “What can I say? I’m just a man with instincts and nothing but time on my hands,” he said, not looking to excuse his behavior. “And all that was just the tip of the iceberg. There is always more to be said and even better done.”

    Cletus set the tray to the side. He didn’t think his words would be philosophical. It was just how he saw killing someone. He wasn’t someone genius for people to follow. At least, he didn’t think he was. He liked the thought of her supplying him with a better lunch when she came here. Something else to make these days more interesting. He laughed. “My plans should be obvious when I’m out of here. I’m going to cause chaos and carnage. I’ll be having my fun, and I may make a little stop for a certain somebody,” he said. He knew that there was no if’s about this. He was plotting his escape since the first day he was in here. The only thing that changed about his freedom was that he was planning on making a stop at someone’s place. Carnage was wanting her just as much as Cletus was.

    ****

    Thea giggled at Venom’s words. She had to admit she was starting to like him and Eddie. Though she just didn’t want to seem like it was too fast. “Well, it just sounds like he needs to make a mess more often. It makes you enjoy life a little more,” she teased. Watching the two interact was almost comical. She honestly thought it was sweet that Venom wanted her to be his cook. “How about this? I tend to try a new recipe once a week, and I’ll let you be the first to try it,” she said. “Granted it may never be the same day because of school and work.”

    Thea hadn’t thought about Venom eating from her hand. And it was a strange sensation of how he ate them. But his fangs didn’t even scrap across her hands. Though she have some of his saliva on her hands afterwards. She grabbed a towel, not concerned about it. “She tries it when she’s around. It seems to be a little bit and miss with her. And it’s great to have her help, but our schedules rarely sink up. So sometimes by the time she’s around to try the food, it’s time to toss the leftovers that rotted. And plus, I’m king of enjoying Venom’s excitement over it,” she said.

    Thea blushed a little that he was asking to take her to restaurant. “I would love to,” she said. “Though this is a thank you for saving me. I don’t want you to feel like you owe me for this.”

    Carmilla nodded slowly, noticing his plans of wanting to leave and wanting to grab her. The area in the back of her mind was nudging her with fear of him kidnapping and possibly killing her slowly....painfully. Cold sweats was forming in the back of her neck at the idea of him finding her and possibly hurting her best friend Thea to get to her. Carmilla had to tell her mind that if he were to get out, she would get away from the apartment and make sure he would find her without harming the people she loved...even if it means luring her best friend to a bar with a friend and Carmilla goes in a back ally to wait for the killer.

    Carmilla sighed and walked up to the cell, waiting for the tray so she could leave it by the door for the guard to pick up. She stood face to face, only in listening range for the two of them to hear "To be honest I'm just a typical messed in the head woman....I'm nothing special....why look for me when you have the whole world to yourself to find someone more insane than I am?" She said honestly, lifting the slot to be ready to grab the tray as her eyes stared at him. She was a strong woman but yet the whole scenario was definitely making her nervous. The man had any chance to escape...maybe not now but soon...she was thrilled by his mind and motives....but a bit terrified on his violent actions, especially what he wrote out what he wanted to do to her.

    ----

    "A new recipe for me every week? I can deal with that" he growled lowly in happiness as his head shifted to closer to Eddie to give her space even though Venom was very much intrigued by the woman and wanted to connect with her even more. Eddie nodded "We can work around that. That gives me another question to ask..." he continued as he helped take care of some of the dirty dishes "what do you go for school? I'll be honest, I noticed your friends major by the textbook she was carrying. Criminal Psychology, something definitely very out there and dangerous to dive into...I guess it suites her personality" he joked with a chuckle.

    'I can eat your friends foods so they not wasted' Venom assured himself with a wide fanged smile 'That way, his liver won't look juicy anymore...or his spleen...' he chuckled as Eddie rolled his eyes, 'Eddie needs to make that restaurant hangout happen...his heartbeat is getting so fast when he thought about it.'

    Eddie's eyes widened towards him as he looked like he was ready to smack Venoms head "Would you shut up and stop getting in my head" he sighed in annoyance and rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment "Sorry about that... we can definitely have that 'date' for sure...maybe tonight when your friend gets home, we can do a proper introduction so she's not uncomfortable whenever I and Venom show up. Go for some drinks at a bar down the road and wind down? This week I can work around your schedule to take you out" he winked.

    Cletus stood up to put the tray in the slot. He could see that she was a little shaken. He knew that he had possibly gotten a little too real with her, but he wasn’t going to lie with his thoughts. They were his true self, and why should he shy away from her or anyone else for the matter. He grabbed her hand again and pulled her in close. “There is nothing typical about you,” he corrected. “You got something in you that is on me, and you just don’t let go of your control. I’m going to guess that you may have only one friend that has stuck around and you question how you kept her this long.”

    He could feel Carnage inch slowly to the surface on his hand, and it slipped into her. “You are extraordinary. Why would I want someone else?” he asked her curiously. He kept his grip tight on her though not digging his nails in this time, but he wasn’t letting go until the Carnage was done. “I don’t need insane. I need like-minded people.”

    ***

    Thea chuckled a bit. “Yeah, it’s a heavy subject for a lot of people, but she enjoys it. I’m, however, going to school for business since I plan on opening up a bakery one day,” she said. “Figured knowing some business would be helpful.” She pulled the pan out of the oven, checking to see if it was done. She looked up at him. “What do you do?” She glanced at the two. Venom had seemed to pull back, not crowding her as much.

    Thea laughed. “No, I don’t think it will go to waste with you around. So hopefully, you won’t be snacking on Eddie any time soon,” she said, looking at him curiously. She couldn’t hold back the laugh that when Venom mentioned Eddie’s heart rate. She knew that she was a bit nervous about it. She got out a knife to start cutting the brownies into squares.

    “There’s nothing to be sorry about,” she said. “Venom doesn’t seem to have a filter, and it’s refreshing to be around. I’m free tonight and tomorrow night,” she said. “Yeah, you should properly meet her. Don’t want her freaking out on you.”

    Carmilla was trying hard not to show her true fear of what his thoughts were to her as she wondered if any of this was a good idea. Her mind was connecting more to Cletus than anyone in her life...it was like he was calling to her...like the fate of meeting was meant to be. She winced when he grabbed her hand, holding it tightly with both of his hands as he spoke. Her eyes never left his as she felt his breath on her face with how close they got. Something felt like it was slithering up her arm...but she figured it was goosebumps from his words. She wasn't typical...she was extraordinary like he said....it was like...he was figuring her out.

    "Carmilla your time is up" the guard said at the door as she felt a brush of his face on her hand before finally being let go. Carmilla grabbed her stuff, a weak smile on her face "I will see you tomorrow later on...I promise" she whispered before turning around and leaving. It was as she walked out, something was trailing off her hand and body....a piece of the symbiote she wasn't aware of. It slithered away from her without corrupting her in any way...just yet. The little red slime slithered towards the vents...to the generator holding Cletus in. By that time, Carmilla was already transported out and heading back home on her bike.

    As Carmilla rode herself home, the symbiote trashed the power to his section and at the moment....there was nothing to hold the monster back.

    ----

    Eddie smiled as Thea seemed so easy to talk to and be around with. Nothing of Venom and him seemed to phase him and it was rather enjoyable that he didn't need to hide himself. "I do journalism for the Brock Report that links to other newspapers and articles throughout the town and even the United States so its good business. Been even trying to get a good report lately that would shake my reputation in a good way." He slowly nodded, smirking at her reaction to his and Venoms antics, "Glad you find us entertaining though"

    Venom grinned 'I say we go tonight! So i can see from your mind how this plays...also that weird woman' Eddie shook his head "She is not weird so stop it" he chuckled "Well we can go tonight, I'll buy the drinks so you don't worry. Even for your friend. Even food too so dress however and we can all hang and have a good time" he smiled. 'He's excited, heart is fluttering' Venom said as Eddie groaned "would you stop"

    Eddie waited by the counter as she finished cutting through the food "You sure know how to cook and I'm interested in your major about being a bakery. Maybe that can make Venom move out of me"

    Cletus watched her pull away from him and start to head out of the room. He was wondering what Carnage would do inside her mind even though now wasn’t the time, but he was thinking of her anyways. She had captured his attention. He could feel the guards attention on him. They were looking at each other wondering who’s turn was to deal with him. He waited for his piece of Carnage to come back. It wouldn’t be much longer now.

    It wasn’t too long before things went dark. It was time Cletus pushed on the cell door. The door gave way with a loud creak like it always did. He took off and saw the piece of Carnage come towards him in the vents. That symbiote was a quick little thing and didn’t mess around. He was free, and he knew it wouldn’t last if he messed around, so he started towards the exit as fast as he could, unconcerned about the sound of a gunshot behind him. He was getting out of this place. He just continued closer to the exit.

    ***

    Thea listened to him. “That’s gotta be fun chasing a story. Though I must admit I rarely watch the news, let alone read the news,” she admitted. She grabbed a plate and then grabbed another figuring she should let them each get their own brownie. “Hey, it’s better than anything on TV,” she teased lightly. She fished out a couple of brownies for them and placed it in front of them. “But then again maybe it’s because I don’t seem to get out as much.”

    “Sounds good to me. She’s supposed to be back at some point tonight. She was going to interview some prisoner for her class,” she said. Thea was getting her own brownie. “I’m sure she would enjoy meeting you. She actually a pretty fun person to be around.” She grabbed a fork and took a bite. She blushed a little bit. “Well, I’m excited as well,” she said to assure him. It didn’t scare her off that Venom was outing him like that.

    “My grandmother taught me how to cook and bake when I was growing up. It was what we would do when I spent the summer months with her, and my parents would fly off for whatever country they were visiting. She passed away a few years ago, but our dream was opening a bakery together,” she rambled a little bit. “So can Venom live on his own without you?” she asked curiously. She took another bite of the brownie almost melting that the taste of chocolate.

    Shoot him!" The guards yelled as he made a run for it, Carnage consuming him to protect him from the blasts. Some guards were mauled to a bloody mess as the symbiote made its way out of the prison. Helicopters were even called immediately to shoot him down...but nothing was stopping his goal as Carmillas uncle stared outside in distress of the serial killer getting loose again. He tried launching everything towards Cletus...everything he had...

    Meanwhile, Eddie was agreeing with what Thea was talking about on avoiding the news and not getting out much, intrigued on how she learned from her grandmother. Honestly as she talked and he listened, he couldn't stop watching her. She was very cute and already he felt this strong immediate attraction. It was something he hasn't had since he was with Anne. Though he wasn't going to jump so quick to taking the steps in wanting to date her. Yes he wanted to take her out but he didn't want to push anything on her...even though Venom was not patient in any means.

    As he took bites of the brownie with her, Eddie nodded "This is so good...wow..." Venom shuddered and slowly retreated to his body to enjoy the consumption of the chocolate "It melts in my mouth" he chuckled, continuing to stand next to her as he helped himself to a small plate of it "Technically no he can't live without me. I'm the host and he would die without one...it was a perfect DNA match at coincidence....but maybe you can see more of his true form when you are around me more often....though...I will try not to let him lose in your kitchen" he laughed.

    ---

    Carmilla was tense the entire way home, the breakout from Cletus not aware to her mind at all...though she felt a pull in a way. A dot of Carnage was resting in her hair on her scalp, wanting Cletus to track her down easy besides by her scent. It was inevitable at this point that she was going to be having her life be given to him under his control no matter what....even if she fought, she would lose. Carmilla wasn't aware of this fate that was going to happen.

    Carmilla parked her bike outside of the apartments in the reserved spots. She felt her heart race out of control as she walked up to her and her best friends place, trying to keep her mind busy. Once Carmilla unlocked the apartment, she saw Eddie and Thea in there which made Carmilla cock a brow. "Hello? I've seen you before"

    Eddie smiled, waiting for Carmilla to approach as he shook her hand "Eddie Brock...I saved your friend from being mugged so she's treating me to some brownies"

    Carmillas eyes widened as she scurried up to Thea, huggjng her tight before looking at her "Shit you are okay? I'm sorry I wasn't there to help kick the guys ass"
