Chapter Sixty Four
Maya’s POV
It was day three of Venom trying to heal from his brother’s death. There was a decline that was apparent that he was going through. I wished I could do more than I was doing for him to cheer him up, but I could only get as near as he wanted.
He spent most of the time going out and coming back later to brood over work in the newly built office he got himself.
The idea to help still lingered in my head but after I saw what happened to Alex, I was sure that Venom would be too paranoid if he found out that I left the pack house to go undercover to uncover something I hardly knew about.
I was walking around the house thinking of how I could do things without him worrying too much. I eventually gave up the idea when I saw something unusual. I walked forwards and saw something that had definitely decayed.
It looked black and weird. Unusual and I could tell it wasn’t supposed to be there. I picked it up to check it and I saw some clumped up liquid in it.
“What’s this?” I murmured as I stared at it. It was just at Alex’s window. Something even increased my curiosity to find out after realizing that connection.
I took it away and thought about keeping it till Venom would arrive. It wasn’t like I had any special equipment to figure out what it was.
I went in to get a bag so I could keep it in it and I came to pick it up. Something was odd and it felt like I should have been able to tell that I was holding, but it was almost impossible. It only looked familiar.
Getting inside, I placed it on top of a shelf in the room and tried to get my mind on other things. There was barely anything I was doing and it was driving me crazy already that I wasn’t engrossed with working.
The other times, I had spent them training for hell’s pit, but that was out of the way already and it didn’t seem like I would be going back there anytime soon. I didn’t even want to return.
I went to the couch in the living room and tried to observe the environment. There was barely anything I could do other than that. I also waited for Venom while at it.
Minutes later or was it hours? I wasn’t sure, “wake up, Maya.” I heard a voice address me after tapping me. It took some seconds for me to grasp what was going on in my environment.
“Venom, you’re back!” I exclaimed when I saw him, I then hugged him. Something about how boring the house had gotten made me appreciate his presence even more than usual.
” Is everything alright?” He asked me.
” Yeah, I missed you , that’s all.” I told him shyly.
I could see him smile after I said that, he could read me and he found me cute when he did, it gave me butterflies as well.
At the end of that talk, I went with him to go get meals which we would both consume. This time around, I didn’t even have to wait for him to get back to eat. I had slept for a very long time before he arrived.
“How was your day, Venom?” I was trying to start up small conversations with him while we ate.
He obliged and the discussion went on for a bit, I was glad that I was making progress with it. We finished up and the next place as usual was the room.
“Oh,” the memory came to my head and I remembered what I had picked earlier in the day. “I found something and I think you should see it.” I told him.
” Okay, where is it?” He questioned.
” It’s in the room, let’s just continue going. I mentioned it earlier than when we reached there because I suddenly remembered.” I explained to him and he smiled at me.
We continued walking to the room and when we entered, I showed him what I kept on a shelf.
“What’s this?” He asked me while he looked at what he was holding in his hands.
“I have no idea, I saw it and thought you’d have a look at it.” I told him.
He liked at what he was holding for a bit and tried to analyse it or whatever he was trying to do when he turned it upside down and every other gesture he made.
He took it out of the bag and looked at it again, then the clumped up liquid from earlier fell ro the ground and splattered. At that point, I could tell what it was already.
It looked burgundy and I had an idea but I didn’t want to come to conclusions yet. It seemed he had the same thinking.
“Where did you find this, Maya?”
“I was outside walking when I saw it right underneath Alex’s window.” I explained to him.
His eyes widened as soon as I made the statement and I knew I had mentioned something relevant.
” There’s a problem isn’t it?” I asked him.
He paid no attention and even now, he was checking through every pore he could get his hand through without getting irritated by whatever he may find.
He walked away and went to bjs office for some seconds. I waited outside nervously, there was no reply from him earlier and he didn’t even want to say anything about what was going on with him.
After some time, he came out and I was relieved, but at heidame time, curious to what could have happened with him.
“This looks like Alex’s organ!” He exclaimed to me. I was shocked, but not too much, a part of me suspected that already.
That was even drawing more mystery to Alex’s death since we thought he had been stabbed and we had not even figured who did it too.
