I turn and see Newt standing off to the side.

"Uh... Hi?" Venom says.

"I-it talks? W-what the bloody hell is that?" He asks. I can tell he's terrified, but trying to hide it.

"Uh... this is venom. Now, Venom doesn't like being called this, but I think it's the only way you'll kinda understand what exactly Venom is. Venom is, a-a parasite. Venom can't survive here without a human host," I say.

"Hey, we'd be dead by now if it wasn't for us!" Venom says.

"W-what is it talking about? You'd be dead?" Newt asks.

"Well-" I start before venom cuts me off.

"We can fix broken bones and things.
And-" Venom starts.

"Venom. I think he gets it," I say, knowing what he was gonna do next.

"I don't, actually," Newt says. I sigh. Venom branches out from me again, making an arm-like thing. It forms a hand and waves at Newt. Venom then disappears. It covers up some of my arm and creates a kind of axe thing. Then, Venom makes spider leg things come out from my back and lifts me up from the floor. (Kind of like dr Otto Octavius from spiderman but venom.) Newt's eyes get wide. Then, venom goes back inside me. I know what he's about to do.

"No... venom-" I start to mutter. But it's too late. Venom does this:

Venom stands tall and look at Newt. Venom waves before going back inside me and making me normal again. I sigh, scared of Newt's reaction.

"I-I'm sorry. Venom can get carried away and show off sometimes... I know it's a lot..." I say nervously.

"I-"Newt starts. I can tell he doesn't know how to reply. "Does anyone else know?"

"Eli and Aris. My whole maze knew about Venom," I say. Newt nods.

"And-is it dangerous?" He asks.

"Only if you get on Venom's bad side. Normally Venom is fine. It gets a craving for, uh... Animals and people sometimes, but I don't let it. Don't worry. Venom has learned the difference between good people and bad people. It won't harm any of you guys. I promise," I say. Newt nods slowly.

"O-ok. Well, we should get back to the others..." Newt says.

"Okay. Wait. Can, can you not mention this to the others?" I ask.

"Shouldn't they eventually find out?" He asks.

"Well... yea. I just don't know how they'd react."

"Okay. I think they'd be shocked at first but be okay with it. Minho'd think it's bloody awesome. But you can tell them in your own time. This is your story to tell. Not mine," Newt says. I smile.
