guestsurprise did this one! Enjoy!

Darla. There were no words to describe Darla. She was "the girl" when it came to society. She had pearls on her pearls and long blond hair that reached down her back. She had fur coats that drug behind her almost a foot long and she wore earrings that looked as if they weighed a ton each. She wore only the finest make up that money could buy; in fact, she could buy anything she wanted! But with all of the money she had, she didn't feel…satisfied. It was as if there was something she needed to do, but she didn't know what.

"No time to think of that stuff Darla; the exhibit is getting ready to begin," Her secretary said.

"Is this absolutely necessary?"

"Of course it is! They said if you hosted this event, you would be given over 2 million dollars!"

"I don't think I'm in serious need of money," Darla replied.

"It doesn't matter; you agreed so we have to go through with it. Now the limo is waiting." Her secretary smiled, now pointing to the long stairwell of the mansion that led to the front door. Darla sighed a deep sigh and walked slowly towards the stairs and towards the door.

Once they were in the limo, they began to drive towards the museum downtown. Darla looked out the window in a tired manner, but her eyes opened wide when she saw a black figure looking at her from the top of a building. Her eyes were so big now that she thought they would pop out!

"Look! Look!" She said, now pointing out the window. The secretary looked, but there was nothing there!

"You must have been seeing things my dear. Perhaps tonight is a bit nerve-wrecking for you."

"No! I saw something! It looked like a large being up there."

"A large being? You haven't been in town long my dear, but I hear there are many criminals around these parts."

"Criminals?!" Darla said, somewhat frightened.

"Yes. And I hear that there is one that is worse than them all!"

"Really?!"

The secretary nodded and picked up a nearby newspaper. She pointed to the picture of Spiderman and a picture of Venom on the sides of the paper.

"There! That one in red and blue? They call him Spiderman. They said that he is the protector of the city and that he is the hero in this part of town."

Darla smiled softly, loving the fact that there was a real hero in this city. While she was looking at the paper, she glanced out the window again and saw the figure standing out there, balancing on a light post. Her eyes widened again, shocked the creature was back. It was balancing and staring at her with its' white, blank eyes!

"That must be…" She then looked at the paper and looked at the creature again. He seemed to be studying her and watching her from his light pole.

"That's Venom!" She said in complete shock. She turned and looked in complete surprise and saw the beast was no longer where he was. He was gone.

But she had no time to think about the situation because they had moved up to the museum. It was time for her to go in and host the party.

"Well, here goes nothing." She whispered to herself. After a few moments, she got out of the car and made her way up the tall stairs. Her long blond hair was pulled up into a bun and her outfit was a long, green gown that matches her eyes. She wore some green emeralds (in addition to her pearls) around her neck and she prepared herself to greet the guests.

"Dear Guests. It gives me great pleasure having you all here with us tonight. Please enjoy the refreshments and the jewel gallery that will be held in the next room." She smiled warmly. The guests clapped for her and she slowly made her way to the jewel gallery where she would model her latest jewel collection. Her family were diamond cutters and they made a living by selling the precious gems they mined. She was right in the middle of showing her emerald necklace when a masked man ran through the room and pulled a gun on her!

"Give me the necklace! Anymore moves and she'll be killed! That necklace belongs to me!" The robber yelled.

"Actually, it belongs to me…" A deep voice growled. Everyone turned and saw a deep, black covered being jump through the ceiling and land perfectly on his feet in front of Darla. He growled viciously and grabbed the gun from the robber and tossed him across the room. Everyone began to scream at the top of their lungs!

"VENOM! VENOM'S HERE!"

"RUN FOR IT!"

"RUN! CALL FOR SPIDERMAN!"

"HE'LL KILL US ALL!"

Before Darla had a chance to say anything, Venom gently got the necklace off of her neck and turned tail and headed back out the window, dodging bullets from the nearby guards!

"Stop he has my jewels!" Darla yelled. She began to chase after the villain, but she truly had no clue why she was doing so. It was not like she would be strong enough to stop him! She chased him onto the balcony and saw him balance himself on the ledge. "Wait stop!"

"Stop what?" He taunted.

"I thank you for saving my life, but you still have my jewels Venom!"

"So you know you I am do you?"

"Yes I do!"

"Well I hate to break it to you, but these are mine!"

"No they aren't!"

"Yes, they are and I have no intention of returning them!" He said angrily, now turning tail and jumping off the ledge! The guards ran out there and were about to shoot at him, but she stopped them!

"WAIT! DON'T SHOOT HIM!"

"Why not?! He's a wanted criminal!"

"He hasn't harmed anyone here!" Darla protested.

"He could have killed you!" The guard replied angrily.

"But he didn't! He saved me from being shot and…"

"Listen kid! I know your father left you his fortune and all that but you know nothing about life here in this city! Stop protecting people you know nothing about!" The guard snapped as he showed her back into the museum ballroom.

"Darla! Are you alright?!" The secretary gasped in horror.

"Yes, I'm fine. But I have to have those emeralds back!"

"Forget that necklace! He could have killed you! That monster could have killed us all!" The secretary screamed.

"Stop panicking! I feel like there is more to this than meets the eye," Darla said, now looking at the area where Venom was. She then squinted and in the distance, she could see a beast walking on all fours staring at her and then he disappeared into the night.

"I've got to find out more." She whispered to herself. "I've just got to."
