Symbiote (Lucifer Morningstar)

Chapter 1

You walked into a random convenience store on your way home. You were starving and it didn't help that you had a Symbiote using you as a host. You walked past the clerk and straight to the food isle, keeping your head down.

"What do you want, Venom?" You whispered, so very quietly.

"Chocolate and tater tots, (Nickname)." Venom hissed in your head. You grabbed a good handful of chocolates and went to the refrigerators in search of tater tots for the alien. No tater tots to be seen.

"I'm not seeing any V. Want to try and look for another 7/11?"

"We are still new to L.A., morsel. Get pizza." He was right. You and Venom just moved to Los Angelas from San Francisco, to start a new life. And as he was right, you and him haven't had enough time to explorer places to go. "When can we get bad guys? I crave a human every now and then."

"Sorry V." You grabbed a box of your favorite frozen pizza. "We gotta keep low profile for just a little while." Venom growled but he didn't retort or argue, he knew you were right. You went down another isle, looking for snacks of your own when the front doors of the store slammed open. Three different men were shouting threats at the clerk behind the counter and the other customer.

You immediately ducked down to hide, thankfully the three robbers didn't see you at all. Your heart felt like it was trying to break through your ribcage.

"Bad guys. We can take care of them." The symbiote spoke. You could feel Venoms excitmenet through your panic. He was just itching to take over and eat the robbers.

"Low. Profile." You hissed, trying to keep your voice quiet and calm.

"You could get hurt, (Y/N). Those innocents could get hurt." He did make a compelling argument, knowing how much your moral compass pointed to helping others.

"Security cameras?"

"By the clerks counter, none anywhere else."

"F-" You didn't get to finish your sentence. Venoms black, goo looking body took over. He was in control now.

Venom jumped over the isles with an animalistic roar and pounced on the closet robber, immediately his fanged mouth bit off his head. The other robbers fired their weapons but it didn't affect Venom at all. The Symboite used his talons to swipe clean through the other person, blood went everywhere. The other customer shrieked while the clerk was watching from the counter.

"P-Please." The last guy stuttered, his gun clattered to the floor. "Pl-please!"

Venom grabbed the man by the throat, raising him into the air. The alien used his long, pointed tongue to lick the robbers face.

"Mmmm, you taste good. So mamy snacks to choose from: eyes, lungs, pancreas... Or the head." Venoms distorted deep voice now being heard to all, not just in your head. His milky white eyes bore into the robbers. "You put these innocents in danger. Put nibble in danger." He growled the last part.

"I-I-I'm s-sorry dude!" He shrieked, Venom tightened his grip on the man. With no second thought, Venom bit the mams head clean off, swallowing in one gulp, just like the first one. He let the body flop on the ground.

The Symbiote went back to your hiding spot and picked up all the food you grabbed and more from the isles. He went to the counter and let the food go.

"We want to purchase these." His tongue slightly hanging out as he addressed the clerk. She simply gulped, looking terrified. "We only eat bad guys. You are innocent."

"Uhm..." She barely spoke as she slowly stood up. The poor thing was shaking in her smock. She slowly bagged the items and set the bags on the counter. "Fr-Free of charge. For um saving me."
