El Nini 09 Novels & Stories

Everyone inside the hospital room stared at me with wide, nervous eyes when I came back in. Seth, who usually kept his cool, looked a bit flustered. He quickly put out his cigarette. "Nevaeh, you didn't leave?" Pretending to be breathless, I said urgently, "Seth, I came back for the snow water. "It's really important. I need to prepare it for you right away so your legs will get better faster! "Huh, wasn't it just on the table?"

Lil Nine said lewd things and began to tear Ella’s clothes off. “Disgusting rascal! You are not afraid of going to h*ll?!” Ella cursed while struggling. “Going to h*ll? Hahaha!” Lil Nine responded with a big laugh. “I, Ol' Nine, am a dangerous and cruel person. One thing I do not believe in the most is heaven and earth!” “You will receive retribution! Even if I am dead, I will make sure you get punished!” Ella cursed in rage.

Just a symbol. A half-moon over a mirrored flame. “What is it?” Alex inquired. “The last contingency,” Bellion replied. “Elara’s.” “Another lab?” Bellion shook his head. “A name.” He opened the envelope and slid the photo across the table. A girl. Not Harrow. Not me. Younger. Darker. Eyes like fire reflected in water. A serial code was inscribed beneath her image: E-0.0. “Who is she?” I whispered.

Seraphina "You shouldn't have riled him up like that." Two girls were hurdled against the metal bars whilst the other one was backed up in the wall, totally hidden by the shadows. "He isn't... kind." The one on the left spoke, her voice super cracky and shallow. "Code 1069, is right. You should have just tried to speak, Code 009." Code 009, looked up at the girls, staring at them blankly as ever.

Adrian's breathing became shallow. His eyes reached the final line. Never allow anyone to assemble the Ninth Cipher. If the Ninth Cipher is completed... History will not change. It will be erased. Before he could process those words... His phone rang. Unknown Number. He answered. Silence. Then a calm male voice spoke. "We've been waiting for you, Dr. Vale." The line disconnected. At that exact moment, every television in the apartment turned on by itself. Every screen showed the same image. A black background.

“Geneva means PR. Conference circuit.” Lyra chimed in from the corner. “No. Geneva means reveal.” “Reveal of what?” Nova turned. “They’re putting something new onstage.” 03 entered then. Dropped a stack of decrypted logs. “They’re calling it ‘Continuum.’ Subject 09.” Everyone froze. The name wasn’t just another experimental code. Subject 09 had been shelved years ago. A fragment. A prototype that never stabilized. Ava remembered the reports. Barely. Because they weren’t full.

No command. No demand that she calm down. Just: What do you need? Elena looked at him for a second too long. Then she turned away first. “I need to know who E-09 is.” Luca exhaled quietly, grateful for a direction. “I’ve been cross-referencing the archive tags with the St. Gabriel donor records. E-09’s file was hidden under a rehabilitation identity.” He tapped the screen. “The problem is that the personal data was scrubbed. No name, no age, no current address.”
