Syn Rising
Chapter One

A small black cat sneaks into the room of a young woman, who lays in her bed, asleep. The cat looks up at her, jumping onto the bed.

Meow…No response.

Meow…Still no response.

Suddenly, the woman awakes with a start and grabs her hand, where the cat had bitten her.

"Ow!" She looks at the cat and gives a half-smile. "Ya know, that's rude." The cat just stares at her and the woman shakes her head.

The young woman's name was Jade Pollard. She was about 5'6" with long messy brown hair and hazel brown eyes. She was of average build with pale white skin.

Visible on her right thigh was a scar, but not just any scar. It was a deep scar in the shape of the anarchy symbol. Jade didn't wear shorts out in public, nor let anyone see her legs because of that scar. It held too much pain and would raise too many questions.

Jade got up, running a hand through her messy brown hair as her other hand pulled her pajama shorts out of her butt.

"I hate wedgies. The bed must be mad at me." She said, yawning, as she walked out of the room, heading for the kitchen, the cat, Shadow, following close behind.

Meow…Jade looked down to see Shadow sitting beside her bowl, which was empty.

"Ah, so that's why you bit me." Jade said with a slight smile as she put food in the bowl.

Jade went to the door and picked up the paper. She glimpsed the front page and was about to throw it down when something caught her eye.

It was a picture of one of those alien symbiote thingys. Ya know, like Venom and Carnage. It was black with red symbols all over and had blood-red eyes patches, unlike Venom and Carnage's white ones, and had rows of sharp, pearly white teeth that cvould probably saw through bone.

Jade stared at the picture in fascination. She'd never seen anything so beautiful. Well, she considered the wicked-looking red and black symbiote beautiful anyway.

Shadow was in the middle of eating, when, suddenly, she looked up at Jade, laid her ears back, and hissed, backing away. Jade looked at the cat, clueless, then it hit her…

"Oh no…" She whispered as she felt that familiar cold wash over her.

There, in the young woman's place, stood an alien symbiote. The symbiote was black and purple, having long flowing tentacle-hair. It had rows of blood-stained teeth, which told you just what it's preferred choice of food was. Humans...

The symbiote flexed its long claws and looked at the cat, which was still hissing madly at her. The symbiote smirked insanely and growled at the cat, watching Shadow run off.

((We're hungry…)) The symbiote hissed to her host.

"I know, Anarchy…" Jade replied, fearfully.

Anarchy smirked, loving the sound of fear in her host's voice. You see, Anarchy wasn't like your typical symbiote, taking after their host. No. Anarchy developed an attitude and personality all her own. And she loved the fact that she could dominate her host so easily.

Anarchy turned toward the window, grinning in anticipation of the havoc she was going to cause. Jade gulped at the images that were flashing through her symbiote's mind.

'It's too early in the morning for this…' Jade thought and the symbiote smirked evilly.

Anarchy laughed maniacally as she jumped out the window, sending chills up and down the spines of all who heard her.

Down below, a man stood, unfazed by the laughter as he watched the female symbiote web-swing away. He smirked.

"Finally, someone comes out to play." He said to himself, slipping away, unnoticed by everyone.
