Bitten

Chapter 3

Oh my god! These are not normal criminals. What kind of technology is this anyway? I screamed in my mind as a bolt of energy was shot at me and I was held in place in midair. "This feels weird!!!" I said as the energy made my insides feel like balloons and my body vibrated. I was thrown across the bank room. "Ow!" I stated. I got up off the floor. "You guys aliens or what?" "Shut up spider-boy." "Now see. That. That's just hurtful. That really stung. Like my fist against your face." I said as I webbed him and pulled him towards me punching him in the jaw. "Ooooh! see...now THAT look like it hurt." I said wincing in fake pain. I was fighting the five men dodging around them punching faces kicking butt when everything went horribly wrong. The bolt of purple energy shot out of control and shot out of the window. The bolt careened into a restaurant across the street. "Oh no!" I stated web-zipping out of the bank to the restaurant. I sailed into the restaurant. "HELLO?! ANYONE IN HERE?! HELLO?!" I screamed. I found the owner of the restaurant and his cat. I rescued him and pulled him out of the destroyed restaurant. I gave him his cat. "You good?" The man nodded coughing. I looked across the street to the burning bank. It was empty. "Oh man!" I said to myself. I web-zipped into the sky and swung home. I took my suit off in an alley. I let a breath out of disappointment. "No one ever gets away from me. These guys won't lucky next time." I said to myself. I crawled up the building wall left of me and climbed to the roof. I jumped off and climbed through my window. I landed on the floor and laid on my bed. I sighed. "There's no way those common criminals could have just had those handy. They had to have been bought by someone. Black market deals. Weapon deals. Two words...Not. Good." I said bringing my pointer finger and thumb to the bridge of my nose. I sat up slowly. I took off my shirt and ran my hand through my hair. I stood up and looked in the mirror. I looked down at my feet. I heard a knock on my door. The door opened to reveal aunt May. "Hey Pete. How you doing? You going to see Gwen later?" "No, May. It's fine 3:30 in the afternoon. It's okay. I'll visit her tomorrow." I told her. "You sure?" "Yeah I'm sure." I said walking to my bed. I sat down and sighed. "It's okay." "Yeah I know. It still hurts you know." "Well, have you told your friends from Beacon Hills about her?" "No...I haven't." "Why not?" "I....I don't know May. I need to get ready for school tomorrow." I told her and lied on the bed. "Alright well. I'll let you get some sleep kid." May said then walked out of the room. "Wait a minute.....Peter.. it's 3:35 in the afternoon." "Dang it I was hoping you wouldn't notice." I said smacking my leg jokingly and laughed. "Come on get up we're going out." "What? Now?" "Yes now. You dork." "Oh okay." I said getting up. "Uh...put a shirt on why don't ya?" "Right." I said turning around and picking up a shirt.
