If I Never Knew You
A girl stood on the crossroad of an empty street. Two paths laid in front of her, one of darkness and the other of light. The young girl looked behind her to see a dark alley, shrouded with shadows and blood. Tears started to run down her face as she saw the lifeless body of a large man. His blood mixing in with the rain that fell from the skies as if they heaven's themselves was crying with her. The small girl hugged her knees as she cried to herself.
The girl grew up to be a young lady, again standing at the crossroads. Her heart was shattered as the boy whom she loved never loved her back. Her foot edged away from the fork and onto the path of darkness. She was done, done with all the men in her life leaving her. This time, she was leaving them broken like they did to her. Black spiderwebs covered her body as she allowed the darkness to take hold of her. Her eyes turned red and she cackled loudly. The insanity shrouded her mind and her psyche broke into tons of pieces.
No longer was the innocent girl that put on a happy facade to keep going on with her life. Now there was only the red stains of her past, the crimson colors of her new powers.
This is Crimson Spider, the Spider that will change the future forever.
Crimson took the first charge, running straight towards Scarlet. Her white webs were now black and jagged as she sent them out before her. Scarlet dodged with ease, avoiding the points at all cost. Backflipping, he shot out some of his webs, only for them to come right back at him.
"You fool! Your webs cannot harm me! I can control them!" I said, my voice more distorted. "No matter how much you dodge, no matter where you run, I will always be on step ahead of you!"
"Val, you have to listen to me! You have to control your anger!" Scarlet used his stingers to rip the black webs. I howled in pain, the webs were connected to my body. "I don't want to fight you!"
That only made me roar louder as I clawed at his mask, shreds of fabric graced my fingertips. I saw his blood, scarlet like his namesake. Licking my lips, I raked more of his body, his blood spreading everywhere. I went to claw again, only to have my hand caught by him.
"Val...please..." He breathed, his eyes staring into mine. I wasn't going to listen to him no more! This time, he's going to suffer greatly! I was so distracted that I let my guard down long enough for him to kick me in the mid-section. I heaved over, clutching my guts. It pained me to think he had probably years of experience when it came to fighting. Scarlet leaned over me, seemingly checking if I was okay.
"Now that you're down..." He went back to grab the key, but was stopped due to one of my black webs. "Wha-?"
I grinned, yanking the web with much force. He grunted as he slid backwards, my leg raised up. With a swift motion, I kicked him in the gut. A resounding CRACK! was heard and I smirked with pleasure. Scarlet heaved over, blood coming out of his mouth. I cracked a big smile, my stingers coming out of my wrist. I pressed the stinger against his throat, fully intent of ending him right there.
"Any final words Ben? I believe your screams will suffice, but I'm not a patient girl!" I cackled, raising my arm up.
"Val stop this!" Spider-Man landed in the clearing, his eyeholes on the key. "Think about what you're doing! You aren't a monster! Scarlet isn't your enemy!"
"He is my enemy as he should be yours!" I yelled back, the webs around me floating in a menacing way. "He betrayed you and made you reveal yourself! Don't you want to just kill him for that?"
"Val, I lost myself to revenge too." I stopped, looking into his eyes for honesty. He wasn't lying, I saw he wasn't lying. "My Uncle Ben died to a mistake I made. I tracked down the guy who did it and almost killed him too." He put his hand on my hand. "But I didn't kill him, I let the police deal with him. But the point I'm trying to make is that even though Scarlet broke your heart, doesn't mean you should kill him. He may be stubborn, but even I know he still likes you."
I looked down at the bloodied form of Scarlet, who was silent the whole time during his speech. I saw all the blood caked around his face and body. The bruises and holes from the puncture wounds I inflicted on him. I lifted my gloved hand to see the scarlet blood of my beloved spider.
Was I? Did I do this? The webs around me flared at my sudden change of emotion. I almost killed the only man that loved me as much as my father did. I...I...I Tears splashed down my face and onto Scarlet's. He blinked at my sudden change, shifting his aching body. I still had my stinger at his throat, preparing to enter his skin. I yelled loudly, stabbing the ground next to his face.
"I-I-I can't do it! I can't kill someone I love!" The red in my eyes vanished and my webs turned back to their white state. I slumped to the ground as more tears came rushing down. "Scarlet you don't have to listen to that evil doctor! I just want you back, I want my Ben back! I miss hearing us argue, I miss it when you call me names! Heck I even miss it when you hold me tight and tell me that..."
"Everything's going to be okay." I felt myself wrapped in strong, sensitive, arms as a head leaned against mine. I looked up to see Scarlet looking down at me, sincerity in his eyes. "I'm sorry that I made you feel heartbroken, and I'm sorry that I couldn't save you from turning into this." He gestured to her new spider look. "But I can't change the fact that Doc needs me. So that's why I have to leave you."
"Are you sure about that dude because I don't want to deal with her psycho form again." Spidey joked, getting an eyeroll from me. I turned back to Scarlet, a small smile gracing my face.
"That's fine, I understand. But at least-" A shocking pain went through my abdomen as I fell over with a loud THUD! I heard Scarlet and Spidey gasp as I started to black out. I heard a cackle from a familiar scientist in the background.
"Well, well, well, looks like my little Crimson Spider just got knocked off her web."
