《what a strange name》ch.14

Pov.Peter
Wade left a few weeks ago. The jury is still deciding if wade should stay with his mom or with matt.
His mom is argueing that he ran away after a fight with a neighbor. I don't get it. Untill its figured out, he has to stay with his mom.
I neatly put a note on my bedside table, put on my suit, and swing out of my window.
At this point I'm crying and I just need to stop. I'm not sure what to do. I swing up to the tallest building I see.
I sit on the edge of the roof and take off my mask. I run my fingers through my hair and try to calm the tears.
I squeeze the paper in my hand. Its wades note, the one he wrote when he tried to...
I sit there, trying, and failing to stop the tears. Nothing is going the way it should. Wade should be safe.
"Enjoying the view, spiderman?" I hear a strange voice from behind me. It's like a deep voice and a normal one at the same time.
I turn around and see venom, in the more human like form. I wipe my eyes. "yeah." I say.
I stand up and take a few steps away from the edge. The blackness that formed vemons suit melts away and I see aria.
"wait, you're venom??" I ask, takeing a step back, but not to close to the edge. She nods and shrugs.
I feel myself get dizzy and everything goes dark. "Peter!.." I hear aria yell my name but it fades into silence.
Pov.aria
"Peter!" I yell as I run twords him. By the time I get to the edge its to late. I can't reach him.

Knowing what it will look like when he hits the ground I turn away, and sit on the roof, my back leaning on the small foot tall wall on the edge.
I close my eyes and the entire world fades. I don't hear anything, I don't see anything. I bury my face in my hands and the tears start.
The moment starts to replay in my head over and over again. The way he went limp and flipped over the wall. The way I couldn't run fast enough.
I get snapped out of my daze by a cold hand on my shoulder. I open my eyes and look up. I see iron man, his face plate lifted, he seems worried, or scared.
"I'm so sorry, I tried to catch him and I just, I was to far away, and I could have run faster but i, I just didn't and I," I say, slowly getting frantic. "I couldn't reach him." I say.
He kneels in front of me. "its ok. You tried to save him, and that's good." He says. I don't think it registered yet that his son just died.
As I realize he probably hasn't registered it yet, I begin to imagine how Peter hit the ground.
Everything else fades away and all I see is Peter, mangled and sprawled out, slpattered acros the sidewalk. I want to scream but I can't.
Pov.tony
As I talk to the girl who tried to catch peter, she falls silent, then begins to shake.
I put my hands on her shoulders and talk gently, trying to remember how Steve calms bucky when he has flashbacks.
She looks up at me, with worry, fear, sorrow, shame, and tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, i didn't mean to. I just said hi and he passed out and now he's..." she says, stopping to wipe her eyes. "now he's gone." She says.

"no, no, no! Peter is ok!" I say, leaning back to show peter laying on the roof behind me. She sees him and starts crying a little less.
"I was able to catch him." I say. She wipes her eyes and smiles. I pick up Peter and fly home. I put him in his bed and tuck him in.
Pov.aria
After iron man took Peter and flew off, I let myself become venom again.
As soon as the parasite wraps itself around me, I feel safe. The adrenaline dies down and I remeber the first time I saw someone die.
I remeber watching my mom jump, and watching her hit the ground. I remeber her giving me a paper. I remeber how my tears smudged the ink.
I remeber the first time I met my dad. I remeber how i thought all of it was a bad dream. I remember how I cried when I found out it wasn't.
I snap back to reality and decide to go home. I swing through the window and let venom melt away.
My dad is asleep on the couch, drunk again. I walk over and pick up all of the bottles and glasses. I put a blanket on him and notice the pills.
I pick them up and read the label. 'jared smith, pain killer, take 1 each hour as needed. Max 5 per day.'
I turn it around in my hand and see that 20 pills were prescribed today, there are 15 pills left in the bottle. I put them high up in the cupboard, where he can't reach. I put a note on the counter.
'if you need the pain killers ask and I will get them down. -aria'
I'm not quite sure if he took some, or sold some. I hope he didn't sell them. My dad worked so hard to give me a good life.
Most people don't see an alcoholic drug dealer and think he would be a good father, but he tries his best.
He does everything for me, he tries to give me a normal life. I'm just glad that he is an overly polite drunk and not a violent one.
I put away the dishes and go to my room. I lay on my bed and try to sleep, but I can't. I lay there for an hour before falling asleep.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw
