[Venom/Jack H. — POV]

We dropped Edgar in the cemetery, and allowed him to hide, if he managed to get away, we would allow him to keep his life, but if we caught him. It would be the end for him.

Edgar ran and ran, desperately trying to escape us, but nothing escaped us. Especially not those who hurt us, those who hurt what it was mine. Eventually he ran inside a crypt, trembling his body covered in piss. And his heart beating so hard, it was a surprise he was still alive.

"Already in the crypt? This is no fun!" The snarling hiss of our voice came from above him. In the end both predator and prey find themselves in the shadows.

Our presence immediately sent a cold chill that ran up his spine, shaking him. "We like when our prey trembles with fear!"

[Edgar Brandon POV]

All I wanted was to pursue higher goals, I never wanted this, having a demon behind me, hunting me. Terrorizing me. I had to run, and survive. I didn't deserve to die.

As I ran, I looked around for any place, that was good enough to hide for a while, and in the middle of the cemetery, I found it. A crypt.

Desperately I ran inside, and hid in the last room of the crypt, shaking like a newborn in winter.

"Already in the crypt? This is no fun!" The snarling hiss of a voice came from above. It was him. Hanging upside down, my predator stared at me. His eyes sent a chill that ran up my spine, in fear, "We like when our prey trembles with fear!"

And the demon lunged at me, his claws threatening to end me in a brutal way, and his teeth… so many teeth in a raw crimson red mouth, that would put any sane man in an asylum. This was just as Alice said, that if I sent her to the Asylum a monster would come out for me. To end me. I didn't believe her. How could I?

Yes, she had predicted a lot of stuff, but this vision she had foretold was so bizarre it didn't make logical sense, so I discarded it

"So tell us, what did you do to our chipmunk?!" The demon hissed, and I felt the sharp bite of his claws digging into my stomach, sending spikes of pain I felt as if my brain was going to melt. "Tell us" The claws flexed, digging deeper into my stomach.

With a violent roar, the demon slammed me into the brick wall of the crypt, his claws still playing with my innards. The impact sent a new wave of pain and drove all the air out of my chest, "We can make this so much easier… or painful!"

Pinned to the wall like a street whore, by the clawed hand of the demon that was crushing my stomach, while somehow keeping me alive, I tried to answer his question, "I… I…" But I couldn't speak, I wanted to, because perhaps if the demon knew I hadn't killed Alice, that she was alive, I would get to live.

"Speak clearly," The creature hissed.

[Venom/ Jack H - POV]

We knew Alice wasn't here, we smelt everything in this cemetery, and she wasn't here, mother's smell on the other hand was here. Meaning he either buried her in another state, or Alice was still alive.

"One last time… tell us where she is," We hissed, jerking our claw inside his stomach from side to side, ensuring he felt the most pain possible.

"I- I sent her to an asylum, I don't know where… I didn't care, I just wanted to get rid of her," Edgar finally managed to answer our question with all the truth, our little chipmunk was alive, "Please don't eat me," he begged.

We blinked in amusement mixed with anger and disgust, "We don't eat shit," and with that, we bashed his head against the wall, killing him.

If our Alice was alive, we had to find her, and save her… we already failed mother, we can't fail her. She needed us, we needed her.

But where? Edgar didn't even check where he sent her, we knew that during his last moments he shared everything he had, he had been truthful for once. But it didn't matter, one way or another we would find her, and kill everyone that tries to stand in our way.

[Alice POV]

It has been sometime since I woke up inside this loony house, I don't remember anything of my life prior to this… asylum. Though the nurses say it's better this way, apparently

Most likely, there wasn't anything worth remembering. If all that I had before forgetting was pain, lots of pain. At least here, I had a friend. One of the workers here says that he finds my personality delightful.

Though I still had a feeling not everything was bad, I had a feeling I was loved before I was here, that I was cherished, wanted. That I was part of something. But I couldn't remember.

"Hello Alice," Fral said with a small smile, as he entered my room, giving me a hug, his hands and body cold, almost like ice, "How you been feeling today?"

"Fine, though… I still have the same feeling" I sighed.

"Hope is a human quality Alice, one that we must keep in order to avoid madness," Fral stated.

"What do you know about my family?" I asked.

"Not much, you came here without any papers, legally whoever sent you here killed you on paper...as if to make you didn't existed," Fral sighed, "But don't worry if I ever find anything about them… I'll let you know," the man reassured.

"Thanks," I smiled at him.

If my gut was right, I had at one point someone who loved me, perhaps someone to take me out of him. Well, I suppose only time will tell.

[Jack H. POV]

Nothing, he had nothing on where she was or even where he had originally sent her, and I couldn't track her by her smell.

"We will find you… no matter what…" I promised, even if it took me my entire life. I would find her.
