Venti X Novels & Stories

My hands trembled on the steering wheel, knuckles strained against the grip, unable to contain the flood of emotions overwhelming me. "I trusted them," I choked out between sobs. The words lingered in the air of the empty vehicle, a heartbreaking confession exposing the fragility of my trust. Each tear that fell carried the crushing weight of my broken trust, a testament to the shattering of something that once felt unbreakable. As I accelerated away from the condo building, city lights merged into a vibrant display, each turn a desperate attempt to flee from haunting memories. The streets carried the heavy burden of betrayal as I navigated through the darkness that had replaced the once-sun

LENA’s (LUNA’s POV) “Then do not try to hold back, Lena.. Give it all up.” He whispered in my ear and our breathing got deeper and deeper, his face was so close to mine that we stared into each other’s souls. “Lena! It's time to go.” Vee screamed from outside my room, Maverick lifted his head, and I closed my eyes. ‘Thank God for that call back to life, fuck I was..’

"Finn, good work. What's the situation inside?" I straightened, stood at attention, and saluted him crisply. "Sir! The fire has been extinguished and the severely injured have been transported to the hospital."

Finally, they arrived at their floor and the doors opened. They walked the short corridor to their respective doors. Vespera had reached her door but then she stopped and turned. Ezekiel had his key card out but noticing that the figure wasn't moving, he looked at her. "Is everything alright?" were his first words to her for the evening. Vespera smiled and walked back to meet him. "Yes, everything is alright. There is an industry event happening on Friday." She informed him. "The Vine Entertainment showcase. I have two seats."

I asked and he shook his head. "I can't heal others. Zephyrine was the only one gifted by the gods to heal others. I only can heal myself." He explained. "Okay, and one more thing..." I started. I only concluded this myself, but... "It seems that there is a vengeance spirit in this village. It resides in this place." I said as Zale slightly heal my wound without me saying anything. “What?! A vengeance spirit? But why?” Neven asked. I shrugged, just because I don’t know either.

“Shut the system down.” Sloane sighed softly. “You still don’t understand.” She gestured to the screens around them. “Phoenix doesn’t belong to me.” Lucien frowned. “What do you mean?” Sloane’s eyes gleamed. “It belongs to the future.” She pressed a button on the console. Suddenly every screen flashed red. Global missile systems. Military satellites. Weapons access. Marcus’s face went pale. “Oh hell.” Lucien stepped forward. “What did you do?” Sloane’s smile widened.

He fixed his gaze on the man standing at the doorway. Matteo Ferraro. Enforcer of the Valenti Syndicate. Dominant, commanding, and armed with authority and clout that made grown men flinch. He was currently scoffing internally at a situation he found deeply ratchet: being ordered-around and dismissed by an eighteen-year-old with a candy stick. The whole arrangement icked-out something irritated in him. He was lowkey-pissed and pressed in the most cooked, sus way imaginable. A genuine power-move from a teenager, sitting wrong in every level of the hierarchy he had spent years earning his place within.

Then, he smirked because he think about something. X appeared at him, preparing his fist to launch at Vendrix, "What's with the smirked?" he stated after smacking Vendrix's cheek, but Vendrix moved his body to the right to dodge it. "Nothing," Vendrix responded briefly, yet he is smiling as if he has a brilliant idea. "Hm," X muttered. "You know what, X?" Vendrix stated while moving his body to the right and left to dodge X's consecutive attacks, "you should not waste your time fighting me... because I am a two-eyed person,"

The bullet cut through his head and lodged itself onto the wall behind him which was splattered with blood. The woman sat on her haunches and seemed to be staring at the dead speedster though nobody could see her face. She grabbed at the goggles the speedster was wearing and slid them off of, revealing wide open lifeless eyes and a small line of red dripping down towards the bridge of his nose. She stood and left the way she had come, together with the goggles. "For Anna..."

And just in time too, as the stone fountain which they were both hiding behind was suddenly blown to bits. Ren can’t help twitching his eye when he saw that. “T-They have missiles too?” He yelped in horror. “Since when do mafias obtain weapons like that?!” Yuri growled as she ducked behind the arch while hundreds of bullets peppered past them. No lack of ammunition for the enemy, and this meant bad news for them. Major bad news. “We’ll worry about that later.” Yuri muttered before glancing at her gun. The ornamental handgun Odium which is the favoured weapon of the Phantom XIII of Hati, Hekate.
