All Chapters of Ghost on the highway : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

CHAPTER 61 — The Breaking PointThe rain hammered like drums of war. Thunder split the sky, illuminating Luca’s glowing form, hovering above the city like an unholy star. The air smelt of ozone, burnt metal, and something darker—fear.Vex’s boots hit the wet asphalt, his black coat flapping in the storm. He moved with the calm precision of a predator, and every step made my blood run cold.Aiden growled under his breath. “How the hell is he still alive?”I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. Vex’s presence shifted the battlefield. Everything that had been chaos now felt like a meticulously orchestrated nightmare.Bishop laughed softly, the sound carrying across the storm like poison. “So, you’re here too. Perfect timing, Vex.”Vex’s eyes glinted beneath the rain, cold, calculating. “I wouldn’t miss this for the world. He’s ours to control—or destroy.”I took a step forward, fists clenched. “You’ll never touch him. Not Luca. Not now, not ever.”Vex tilted his head, amused. “Riven… still playing

CHAPTER 63 — The Orb of ReckoningThe doors of the church splintered with a violent crash. Vex stormed in, black energy coiling around him like a living shadow. Lightning crackled through the stained glass windows, slicing the dim light into fractured shards across the altar and vault.I tightened my grip on the containment orb. Its pulse thrummed like a heartbeat in my palm, wild and dangerous. Every nerve in my body screamed—this thing could either save Luca or destroy him, maybe even the entire city.Vex stepped forward, eyes glinting with that cruel satisfaction he always wore like a mask. “You think that little trinket can hold him? You’re a fool, Riven. And soon… so will your city.”Wolf and Aiden moved to flank him, but before they could react, Vex slammed his hand forward. Dark tendrils shot out like serpents, wrapping around the floor, the altar, and anything in their path. The building groaned under the stress.“Move!” I shouted, yanking Wolf back as a tendril slammed into t

CHAPTER 65 — The Masked ReckoningThe pulse of black light slammed against the orb. Sparks flew, arcs of energy slicing the air. Luca screamed, blue energy flaring violently, coiling around him like a living storm. My body screamed too, white-hot pain radiating from every joint, every nerve.The masked figure moved with terrifying grace, gliding across the shattered pews. The air around them shimmered like water in heat, distorting reality. Bishop’s grin faltered completely, replaced by raw, uncontained fury.“Impossible,” he spat, voice echoing against the cracked walls. “You shouldn’t exist—no one should have this power!”I gritted my teeth, pressing the orb harder against Luca’s chest. “Stay with me, Luca! Focus on us! Fight it!”Blue energy pulsed outward, colliding with the black. The air sizzled with power so intense it singed my lungs. The orb vibrated, thrumming like it had a heartbeat of its own. I could feel Luca inside, screaming, struggling, holding on.Vex ran to my side,

CHAPTER 67 — Shadows Over the CityThe air outside the church trembled with the aftershocks of Luca’s awakening. Even from the shattered doorway, the city felt different—like it was holding its breath. Streetlights flickered, alarms blared, and a low, humming vibration ran through the asphalt. Something ancient had awakened, and the city itself seemed to sense it.I grabbed Luca’s arm, steadying him. His glow had dimmed slightly, but the energy swirling around him was still immense, raw, and uncontrollable. “Are you okay?” I asked, voice trembling.He looked at me, piercing blue eyes unwavering. “I’m… better than okay. But we’re not done. That figure—whatever they are—they’re not just after Bishop. They’re after everything we’ve built.”I swallowed, realising the scope of what we were up against. Bishop had been dangerous, yes—but he was small, human. This… this was something else. Something that could tear the city apart if we weren’t careful.---The Cloaked FigureA ripple of movem

CHAPTER 69 — The Awakening of ShadowsThe city above lay in uneasy silence, broken only by the distant sirens and the hum of machines still running on emergency power. From the tunnels, a faint vibration pulsed through the ground—an ominous heartbeat, growing steadily stronger.I grabbed Luca’s arm, feeling the residual energy coursing from him, blue sparks dancing across his skin. “That beacon… It’s calling something,” I muttered, unease twisting in my stomach. “Something big.”Luca’s eyes, still glowing faintly, scanned the tunnel walls. “Not just big… ancient. I can feel it. Whatever the cloaked figure summoned… it’s awake now. And it’s angry.”Vex, limping slightly, wiped blood from his face, glancing at us both with a grimace. “We survived the figure. But if this thing above us is what I think it is… we’re screwed.”I clenched my fists. “Then we don’t have a choice. We stop it. Or we die trying.”---The City StirsAbove us, the streets began to pulse with red light. Streetlamps
