The Symbiote Brothers

Chapter 8: Blood is Thick

Trent and I sighed, looking at the phone. "What do you want?" Trent and I waited for this man's stupid commands. Trent just wants to do the right thing and help Naomi, but for me it's different. For me, she's more than someone I'd help just to do the right thing. After everything I've seen her go through, I'd give my life to help her.

"Meet us at your school, and we'll talk from there." The phone gave several beeps, signaling that the conversation was ended. Trent and I shared a look, then went to the school. We didn't know what to expect, so Trent had his symbiote out to fight just in case. We walked through the front gates of the school, feeling the air go cold. They were definitely at the school. We saw them in the center of the school, all three waiting for us. Damian held Naomi by the back side of her head, and from the front side of her cheek. From that position, he could easily snap her neck.

I walked over to the three, holding my hands up in the air. "Alright, we're here. Let her go, now." The man beside Damian laughed. "Really, now? Do you really think we're just gonna let her go? It's not that simple, you stupid kids." I gritted my teeth, trying to keep from attacking this man. "Now look here. You two have something that belongs to me. I want them back." The man held his hand out as he waited for us to return the symbiotes. Trent took his beanie off, and I sighed.

"I can't. My symbiote fused into my skin." I showed them all the tattoo on my arm, the tattoo shaping itself. The man growled, and looked to the new Damian. "Get the symbiote for me, then kill the girl." Trent and I went wide-eyed as Damian tossed Naomi aside and charged at us. I jumped back to avoid getting hit, and Trent took Damian down. "Get a hold of yourself!" Damian sent a fist directly into Trent's skull and sent him flying back.

I quickly ran over and hit Damian with my shoulder. Damian rolled backwards, then quickly got up. He growled as the symbiote inside him took over from the inside. My symbiote wrapped itself around my body, ready to fight. "Damian, we didn't have to come to this. If you listened to us and gave up the symbiote like we did, then we'd all be fine. Now look at you."

"I'm like this because you abandoned me! Both you and Trent! You two never listened to me, and always threw my ideas under the damn bus! Well no more! I've had enough of you two pushing me down! Now it's my turn to drag you down to Hell!" Damian charged at me, and I ran towards him. As we got within range of each other, I sent a powerful knee into his chest, sending him flying. I shot a stream of my symbiote to him, pulling him down onto the ground and sending a fist into his head.

He quickly got up and grabbed me, running and slamming my back against a light pole. As I slid down, he grabbed my head and pushed it back against the pole, then thrusting his shoulder into the side of my head. Trent interrupted us, his body covered in his symbiote, and he took Damian back down to the ground. He sent a flurry of punches to his head as he kept Damian from getting up. Damian blocked his fists and sent his head right into the nose of Trent, the sickening crack of Trent's nose audible as Damian pushed him away.

Damian kicked Trent's rib, the crunching of bones heard, and he elbowed him right in the chest. Trent fell to the ground as Damian grabbed him by the throat. I rushed over and jumped onto Damian, throwing my arm around his head and squeezing tightly. Damian let Trent go as he tried to pull me off, but he failed to do so as I pushed off his stomach and sent his skull into the floor.

Damian pulled my legs from under me and I hit my head on the concrete below. Damian towered over my body and sent a kick into my stomach. "You're done, Fang. I'm gonna murder you, then Trent, and then I'm gonna kill your little girlfriend." He crushed my ribs as he stomped on them, forcing me to cough violently. Trent pulled Damian off, but Damian sent him flying into the air with a sickening blow to the stomach. As Trent came back down, Damian grabbed him by the shoulder and sent his fist harshly into his chest.
