I need shelter, safe haven

Venom wanted to be there when the woman woke up. She was summoned and waited quietly near the den. She was given plenty of time to think, she herself boasted wounds from her fight with Chimera. There was no way she was going to reward him with the girl now, perhaps she’d get to keep her for herself. Her mother always kept some kind of hand maiden beside her. Maybe Venom should take one as well.

Those thoughts swarmed her mind and were interrupted when she heard shuffling inside. Venom lifted herself from beside the entrance and looked inside. Finding the girl’s gaze almost immediately. A sickly sweet smirk played on her features as she beheld bright eyes. Maybe she was still weak from recovery, but her will to live was obvious.

”Good. You’re awake.” Venom didn’t lower her gaze or its intensity. It was alright if the girl felt uncomfortable around her. If she made her place known now while she was weak she would think twice about fighting back later. Right? ”I’ve been so eager to talk to you.” Though it was true it wasn’t because she wanted to get to know the young woman. The sooner she knew her new fate the better. By the time she was whole her mind would be resigned to her fate.
