Peter wanted to scream, shout, cry, anything, yet he stood there silently. He didn't know what to do, he was only 12, yet he has seen more then anyone should.

The man, NO! THE MONSTER started at Peter, its face was hidden in the shadows of his home. Peter could see the Monster grinning, not a happy but sinister and sadistic grin as blood dripped down his face and arms.

Peter looked down at his Aunt and Uncle, the last family he had left as they lay on the floor, a hole in their chests as blood poured out, leaving them in a puddle.

Peter felts numb, the last time he felt like this was when his parents had died, NO! When they were murdered when he was 6.

Peter's eyes flickered back and forth between his Aunt and Uncle then to the Monster. His eyes landed on his Uncle as he saw his mouth move ever so slightly.
"Peter" he called out, though his voice was so quiet.
"We love you." Tears began to build up in Peter's eyes. He bent down towards his uncle as he whispered his final words.
"Remember... with great power, comes great responsibility." Ben's voice began to fade as he spoke, as his last words left, he died.

Peter kneel beside his Uncle to hear him, trousers covered in blood, their blood. He saw the light in his uncles' eyes fade as he died. Peter no longer felt numb, he cried. He wanted to stay but was surprised by a laugh, not happy but disturbing. He remembered that the Monster was still here watching him.

Peter stood up as he back away from the Monster. The Monster just laughed once more.
"I will get you, Parker." The Monster spoke his voice was quiet but harsh.
"Your father stole our research, destroyed it, destroyed me and now I'll destroy all that was his." Peter knew what the Monster was talking about and knew what had happened to the only remaining specimen, but he wasn't going to tell.
"Now Parker." The Monster spat.
"You know where it is, what happened to it." The Monster stepped closer to Peter as Peter stepped away.
"TELL ME." The Monster roared sending his arms towards Peter. Peter dodged the arm and ran out the door. The Monster followed behind.

Peter turned a quick corner, hugging close to the wall as the Monster strolled past. Peter let out a breath he didn't know he was holding as he made his way back home.

Running in he saw his Aunt and Uncle once more. Tears threatened to escape his eyes but he refused. Running upstairs he grabbed his rucksack placing clothes, photos, money, and food before looking back once more at the place he once called home, he left.

Not even an hour after he left the police arrived. The death of Ben and May Parker in the news and papers with the search of Peter Parker afoot.

Months passed and Peter was never found. Declared dead the public mourned for the lost of the last Parker. The member of an amazing family, of intelligence and kindness. That was 3 years ago.

However when Peter Parker disappeared a new hero emerged.

Spider-Man.

And that's chapter 1 done. Wow, I just couldn't get this out of my head so I had to write it down. Anyway yes, I made Peter really young but I just thought how much more of an impact this could have on a child. I know that in the comics Ben never said the line "with great power comes great responsibility" and that it was the unnamed narrator that says it and that the real quote is "with great power THERE MUST ALSO come great responsibility" but I don't really think a 12-year-old would think of something like that or a 15-year-old at either. also, chapters will come out every Monday. Anyway hope you enjoyed.
