Welcome home Spider-man

Chapter 14:

~Sage's POV~

       "Nice work today Sage" said my professor as I pack my bag. All I can do is smile and nod as I leave. The second the doors swung open the cool air nipped at my face. It was a drastic change from this morning. After walking down the sidewalk for a little while I notice that I'm passing the very same cafe Peter and I first hung out at.

     Memories flood back to mind from last night. Strangely enough the thoughts seem to keep me warm in the cold. Just the way we are together is just amazing. I never thought I could feel the way I do or be cared for the way I am by anyone. Chance used to treat me like that, but one day something just seemed to snap. He was never the same.

      The thoughts of Peter and I just keep echoing though. Before I know it I'm walking down the hall to my place. My hands dig in my bag for my keys but come up empty. That's weird, I could of swore I had my keys in my bag. Well hopefully Chance is here. He must be because the door doesn't seem to be locked.

     I open my door to a trashed apartment. Glass from my photos lays scattered along the ground. My bed is flipped and the rest of my items lay around ripped or broken. More important though is, Luka is no where to be found.

      Anger and fear consumes me as I slam the door. A note seems to fall to the floor after doing so. My eyes scan over every letter on the papers smooth surface. It's after reading the last sentence I snap. I can't control my wolf any longer, so I don't bother fighting it. A long howl erupts from my throat before I sprint off to save my boys. Whoever is doing this just messed with the wrong person.

~Time skip~

      The moon and the stars have come out to play by the time I get to the location. There is no sound except for the crackling sound of a fire which was providing any source of light. Suddenly I hear this grunting sound coming from below the hill in which I stood.

     Cautiously I walk to the edge just to get a glimpse. The sight in front of me horrifies me. Peter lies on the ground with his mask ripped off, bleeding a bruised. His wrist are bound behind his back as a couple of men beat him.

      I did the only thing I could think of, I changed back to normal and grasped the knife hidden in my boot. "Hey!" The men turn and look at me. "Pick on someone your own size!" They sprint towards me as I prepare for my attack.

      My blade sinks into the first guys chest with out a fight. I yank it out and cut the next guy's cheek before I roundhouse him him down the hill. The man gets up surprisingly fast as he pulls a gun on me, firing. I yelp in pain as the bullet grazes my arm. My hand drops my knife as it holds my wound. "Big mistake." I sprint towards the man, attacking him. Dust begins to rise as the battle rages.

     His fist collides with my cheek, taking me down. He comes after me again but I kick him away making him stumble. Then one last shot rang out and the dust settled, I was the one left standing.

    My chest rises and falls with each breath I take at the now still body. This groaning sound enters my ears, snapping me back. Peter. I drop the gun and run to him. He jumps in fear I will hurt him. "Shh Peter it's me" I say calmly. Gently I cup his face making him look at me. "You're safe now."

     "Sage what are you doing here" he ask. "Saving you and Luka. What are you doing here?" "Saving you." He wraps me in a tight hug after I untie him, but then a voice speaks. "Awe how cute." We spin around to see Chance holding my Luka. "Chance what are you doing" I ask. "I warned you Sage." I watch him carefully, "Why don't you show Peter who you truly are huh." "What are you talking about?"

      "Do it or Luka here gets a beating!" No I can't let him hurt Luka. Now I have to do the one thing I have been dredging. Goodbye Peter, you're going to hate me forever. Slowly I remove my contact, revealing my gold eye. Peter looks at me with anger and pain filling his eyes. "You're the black wolf?! All this time it was you?!" I flinch at his shouts.

      "Wow Sage not only did you lie but you cheated on me with him" says Chance. I look at him as fear fills me. "You broke my heart, now I'm going to break yours." In one swift motion he shoves a blade into Luka's stomach. "Luka" I scream, he cries in pain as I try to run to him. Then his cries are silenced with Chance's final blow to his chest. "Luka!"

     I start to run but strong arms grab me. My nails grow long and shape as they dig into the arms binding me. I don't care that it's Peter, I need to get to Luka. I'm gonna ripe that bastards throat out! "None of this would have happened with out my lovely assistant, give it up for Liz Allan!"

      She is the bitch that Lucas met with! "Awe how sweet, thanks Chance. Oh and by the way mutt these are yours. Hi Peter! How are you?!" He just remains silent except for the occasional whimper from my nails hurting him. She tosses my keys in front of me. She's dead!  I try to bolt but Peter's grip is too strong. "Here take this" just then Chance throws Luka's body towards me. Tears stream down my face as I slowly start to fall to my knees looking at his body.

     "We will be going now" says Liz. Before I know it they are gone. Peter releases me and I crawl to Luka. For a few minutes there is only silence as I cradle his body. "We can't do this anymore" softly speaks Peter. "What?" I look at him confused as I hold Luka's body tighter to my chest. "This whole us thing...it has to stop. I'm...I'm ending it." "Peter please-" "We are done Sage." And just like that he is gone, leaving me completely alone to cry.
