Venom I (boyxboy)

[8] Green light.

 IMPORTANTNESS: The guy in the image is Josh. I know, Ian Somerhalder as a character, I'm being so original having chosen him!

     Venom sat in the middle of the white room, on the pillowed floor, widened eyes never leaving the green blinking light of the camera watching him back. Every time the light would blink -for exactly 3 seconds- his heart would skip a beat. His eyes were teary, but his eyelids were frozen widely. He couldn't bring himself to close them, afraid the green light wouldn't appear again.

     And he knew to well what used to happen when the camera turned off.

<><><><><><><><><><><> 

     4 days have passed since Venom was sent to the hospital. Klaus counted.

     He was walking the town's streets, in his usual routine of checking for any sign of crime. But something changed... His pace changed, the look in his eyes changed, his whole perspective on everything changed.

     His once proud pace was now threatening and alarming, his black eyes that would normally scan the area were now covered by the hair bang he stopped flipping away, and as to his perspective on world, well...

     Disgust and hatred.

     Up until then, he didn't give much thought to the part of him that criticized people. He would just let it all out whenever attacking criminals. But now, he let it all occupy his mind as he watched the citizens around offering him hesitant greetings. He cursed every smile on each of their faces as they walked around feeling safe and grateful.

     Of course, the fact that Venom was sent back to the mental hospital was big news, and everyone felt just so victorious and pleased that the villain got what he deserved. The very first time he was labelled as insane, everyone stopped seeing him as a being. He just automatically turned into a creature in their eyes, and he would never be anything else to them. The world didn't even stop to consider his feelings, the things he'd been and is going through at the moment, they just didn't!

     To them, he didn't have his own tragic story and he didn't have a present. He just had the past of a killer and the future of a locked madman, whose existence was to be forgotten. And that was what made Klaus's perspective on world change drastically. And he knew why.

     It was because he was proved to be mentally ill, yet the unknowing people respected and saluted him warmly, despite being a killer himself. He knew that if his brain scan was to be published, everyone would instantly demand for him to be sent to the mental hospital. All it would was a simple paper to change their whole view on him.

     Disgusting.

     "Just let me talk to him for a second!" Klaus finally snapped after having had enough of the security guards' guts. Yes, he was currently at the Megan Mental Hospital, in front of Venom's cell room. Moving his eyes to the window, he felt his self-control slip even further from his grasp.

     "For the nth time, hero, he can't leave the room for the first two weeks. He must adjust to his surroundings and escape the denial state. He will only then be allowed to walk out of his cell room and receive visits." one of the security guards spoke impatiently.

     "You talk about him as if he's some animal! Just- just look at him!" Klaus shouted and turned towards the window, biting his nails. "Please let me in..." he pleaded quietly, distracted by the sight. Venom's eyes were wide, bloodshot and terrified as he stood in the middle of the room, watching the camera as if it was the reincarnation of Vlad the Impaler.
