AN: The Green Goblin has Alex, and David will have to do whatever he wants to get Alex back.
Chapter Seven: The Most Precious Treasure Part II
Where am I? Why is everything so dark? Wait, was I going to tell Alex something about how I really felt about her? Man, everything is such a blur... The last thing that I can remember was that I was about to tell Alex that I loved her, and then that green son of a bitch showed up. Then he took her to god knows where, and I am here, obviously still knocked out from whatever that bastard gave me. I wonder if Alex knows how I feel about her. She really means the world to me, and if I do lose her, I will never forgive myself. I pray to the almighty power that she is alright...
David quietly sat up, and looked around. He was back in his room, and he felt as though he was asleep for a long time. He tried to stand up, but he felt the room spin around him, and was helped back to the bed he was on by Peter.
"Thanks." David answered.
"No problem." Peter said. "David, do you know what happened yesterday?"
"Wait a minute. Yesterday? How long was I out for?" David asked looking at his wall clock. It read 2:00 PM. Then he remembered what The Green Goblin said.
Meet me at the Clock Tower at 3PM, otherwise I'll kill your girlfriend.
Those words rang in his mind as he knew that the Goblin meant business. In a trance like state, David began to pull on his clothes, getting a concerned look from Peter.
"David, where are you going?" Peter asked.
"Goblin wants to meet me at the Clock Tower in an hour." David answered, putting on his shoes.
"David, if you go alone, he will kill you." Peter said, obviously concerned for his friend.
"And if I don't, he is going to kill Alex." David said, which got Peter to shut his mouth.
"Well, there is no changing your mind, is there?" Peter asked.
"No, there isn't." David said.
"Well, I am coming with you at least." Peter said. David wanted to protest, but knew that he needed the back up in case Green Goblin got violent.
"Great, come on." David said.
David stood on the Clock Tower, as a cool wind swept by. Spiderman was on a nearby building, watching the whole thing go down. David was pacing back and forth, worry for Alex obviously wearing on him. He was debating leaving, but then he heard a engine flying towards him, and soon enough, the Green Goblin showed up. He let out that cackling laugh that Spiderman and David came to hate so much.
"Well, it's nice to see that you have shown up on time, you must really care about her, don't you?" Green Goblin asked, almost mocking him.
"Where is she?" David asked, getting angry.
"She's fine." Green Goblin said. "Whether or not she stays that way is going to be up to you."
"Fine, what do you want with me?" David asked, trying to keep his anger down.
"I want that wolf creature." Green Goblin demanded. "You know who he is, and I want you to bring him and Spiderman to me."
"I can't do that. I am not even sure that I can find the wolf, let alone get Spiderman to show." David said.
"Well then, get ready to bury your girlfriend." Green Goblin said coldly.
"No! Don't hurt her! I'll do it, just don' hurt her, please..." David said in an almost pleading tone.
"Good boy. Bring her to Daily Bugle at Midnight. I will give you a day to do so, and not a minute later." Green Goblin said. He flew away on his glider, laughing like a madman as he did so. As soon as the Green Goblin was out of sight, Spiderman appeared right next to David.
"Great, now what are you going to do?" Spiderman asked him.
"I have to give him what he wants, if I want Alex back alive, I have to do exactly what he says." David said in a sad tone.
Alex felt as though she was hit hard in the head. When she finally came to, she looked around, and saw that she was in a dark and abandoned factory. She tried to move her arms, and found out that she had her arms chained to a pole. She tried to move, but found that she couldn't do so. She was about to cry, but Green Goblin returned, and landed right in front of her.
"I really do hope that you like your current accommodations." Green Goblin said sarcastically.
"I've seen better." Alex said, trying to fight back tears. She wasn't going to give this son of a bitch the satisfaction of seeing her cry.
"Well, don't worry, your boyfriend is playing ball, so you might not be here for much longer." Green Goblin said.
"I don't have a boyfriend." Alex shot at him.
"Come on now. You don't expect me to buy that BS now, do you?" Green Goblin asked Alex. "David Falcone is willing to give me Spiderman and that wolf creature just to get you back. Face it darling, he loves you."
"Why should I believe you? You are the monster that kidnapped me in the first place!" Alex screamed at him.
"Fine don't believe me, but I am willing to bet that you will believe me when I say that if your boyfriend doesn't do as I say, I will kill you." Green Goblin said, his yellow eyes mere inches from her own. Alex spat in his face, which seemed to piss him off really bad. He punched Alex in the face, knocking her out cold.
"Now that she is quiet, maybe I can get some peace around here so that I can plan how to get rid of them." Green Goblin smiled.
