Venom (Completed) ✔

Two Needles

"Because that purple liquid he injected me with was Solanum". Zach says.

My eyes widen up and I swallow with effort.

"Go now, please". He insists.

I shake my head, declining his offer. 'No, I won't leave you here'.

"So what do you want to do? Chain me up with a dog leash? Yeah that sounds like a good plan. You need to go before I hurt you'. He clarifies loudly as he's walking towards me.

I slowly walk backwards, scared of what he might do because I still don't trust him a 100%.

'No'. I say, determined.

He stops walking and I see his eyes turn black, which make me flinch. As respond he turns around where I can't see his face. But then, out of nowhere, he starts to groan of pain and reaches for his face as he falls to his knees.

I look concerned and I run over towards Zach. 'Zach! What's going on?!'. I ask loud and desperate.

After a few seconds of silence he turns around to me, and looks at me as if I'm a stranger.

'Zach?' I carefully ask.

But he doesn't respond, he only looks at my left hand, which still has a cut in it because of earlier.

'Zach?!' I repeat, a little louder than the last time.

Then his eyes switch from my hand to my eyes. "How do you know my name?". He asks, loud.

What does he mean with "how do you know my name?". We know each other, why is he acting like he doesn't even recognize me?!

But then I remember something. It's what Mason had said: "The freaking side effect Solanum gave me was memory loss".

"Tell me!" He yells and pushes me against the wall, which scares me out of my thoughts. When I look to the right, I can still see the empty vases shake on the dresser.

I look straight into his eyes, hoping I will reach his consciousness. 'Zach.. listen. You.. You're not yourself. You've lost your memory because of the Solanum. You know me!' I clarify while shaking a little.

He doesn't seem to have heard me, because his eyes are aimed to my hand which I've put high in the air in front of my face to protect myself.

I quietly put my hand down, keeping Zach in sight. 'Zach? Come on, you can fight this. It's me, Mandy!' I say while putting my hands on his shoulders. At the moment I did that, I realized that was the most stupid thing to do, considering my hand's bleeding and sick Zach is standing right in front of me..

He looks at my hand on his shoulder and then looks back straight into my eyes, his eyes turning black now. Now I know: I'm screwed.

I struggle to get away from him, but that has only made him holding me even tighter. 'Zach, please you don't want to do this!' I beg.

But he doesn't listen.. he only looks straight into my eyes. "It'll be over soon". He says, sounding duly serious about it.

'NO, PLEASE!' I beg, for the second time.

He raises up my hand to his face and then starts drinking..

Now, I can only see his dark brown hair, soon I'll be seeing nothing..

I groan of pain, kind of screaming the pain out. 'It hurts, Zach!'. I can still barely say.

He looks up, still holding my hand and still having his black eyes. And just as I thought I'm getting him back, he switches spot. He's going straight for my neck now.. And he just keeps on going and going, until the point I faint.
