A Dark Twisted Web

Chapter 20 the truth outs.

Willow quickly opened the door; she was relieved when Peter wasn’t there. Moments later the door swung open, and Mary Jane stepped inside.

“Looking for something?” Willow asked.

“No, I just came in here to say I’m sorry.” Mary said caught off guard.

“No you’re not, cut the crap M.J., I heard you on the phone. I know you’re the inside source.”

“Fine you caught me, but now you have to die.”

“How do you plan on killing me M.J.?”

“I plan on making it look like suicide.”

“That’s a real original way to kill someone M.J. Did you come up with that yourself?” Willow asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. M.J. just stood there, but she quickly brought her hands up and threw Willow into the wall, and Willow hit the ground hard.

“You know Willow,” M.J. said stopping to show her a knife. “I’m very good friends with Iris, and she told me some very, very important things about you. Like your mutation doesn’t work with some people, and I’m one of those people. God Willow, why does your mutation have to be so complicated?”  Willow was still on the ground, and M.J. grabbed her by the hair and brought the knife up to her throat. She was only able to cut a little bit before Willow flipped her over. The pain quickly began to sting, and it was overwhelming, but Willow decided to ignore the pain. She decided a little late because M.J. flipped her over. M.J. brought the knife to Willow’s leg. Willow yelped in pain. There was anger raging through her in her petite 5’2 body, and it was not to be messed with. M.J. stabbed Willow in the shoulder before she went in for the kill. Willow quickly moved out of the way. Once she did, she kicked M.J. in the temple.

M.J. was almost knocked out when Willow felt eyes on her. Willow turned around and was face to face Peter. Willow looked at him with hallow dark brown eyes the eyes that were filled with fear, guilt, pain, and anger. Peter ran over to Willow, and pulled her into a hug. Willow winced a bit when he did.

“Right, sorry.” Willow just looked at Peter and nodded. She was tired, tired to think, tired to move. Peter was about to say something when M.J. got up. M.J. tried to be sneaky but Willow heard her and found a little strength to turn around.

“I should have killed you when I had the chance.” M.J. said as Natasha entered the room.

“Same.” Willow said. Natasha noticed the knife wounds that Willow had and the bloody knife in M.J.’s hands and put two and two together.

Natasha attacked M.J. with multiple kicks and punches before she looked at Willow.

“Thanks.”

“No problem.” Natasha said in return. Willow nodded and placed her head on Peter’s chest.

“We need to get your wounds patched up.” Peter said looking at Willow’s leg. All Willow could do was nod as Peter lead her down a hallway into a medical examiner room.
