Chapter 94 Keeper

Venice Claire's POV

It's been two days since I came home and all we did was do our usual Sunday.

"Going now, sweetie?" Mom asked sadly.

I nodded and she hugged me "I will miss you. Don't forget to come back home, okay?" She hopefully asked.

"Of course," I said and smile.

"Oh my goodness!" "What the heck..." Mom exclaimed and Carlo who's just behind mom murmured. My smile suddenly disappeared.

"Mom, am I dreaming?" He quietly asked but mom still stunned on her spot.

She slapped the back of Carlo's head hard that he falls onto the ground. "Hey! What was that!?"

"Are you still dreaming?" Mom asked still staring at me with a face that can't be deciphered.

"I wasn't! Oh my!" He suddenly stands up smiling widely but I did not wait any longer for them as I run faster out of the house.

The last thing I heard is screams out of joy. I closed the door of Xenon's car and drive the fastest I can.

When I reached Xenon's house I parked the car and walked towards the door. I passed through the living room and saw Lucas with Stella sitting on the couch while talking and smiling at each other and on the other couch opposite to it is Jenna lying while watching TV.

They didn't recognize me so I continue walking towards my room that I shared with Stella.

Yesterday... Xenon saw me and if I wasn't that fast he might have probably recognized me. Thankful that my speed and big hood hides me well. I can't handle not seeing him, especially when his life can be in danger but as I have said I did not interrupt, I just watch... him.

I was out of dazed when someone grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards... his room.

Oh how much I miss this guy... she went crazy for two nights wanting to come out. She's looking for him... and it was hard for me to control my monster.

It was a test on how he affects me and my monster, but then I discovered that Xenon is like a pain that my body is craving.

He let go of my hand and caged me in the wall using both hands "You never know how fuck I am without you! How could you affect me this much? I'm so furious! Why did you take the bug out of your phone? I can't sleep at night thinking about you... you didn't even give me a call! You-" I can't wait for his rant to finish so I grabbed his collar and pulled him down for a kiss.

He freezes for a moment but responds to my kisses as he slings his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him.

He nibbled my lower lip asking for entrance and I immediately gave him as I opened my mouth and wrapped my arms around his neck tangling my fingers into his hair deepening the kiss... his tongue expertly explored my mouth.

The kiss went intense showing our miss for each other from two days that we both went crazy without one's presence. I can feel my entire body on fire.

He holds my thigh using both of his hands lifting me and I wrapped my legs around his hips without breaking the kiss. I can only hear my heartbeat pounding too fast.

He suddenly broke from the kiss as we both breathed heavily, he smiled "Silly girl." And kisses me again. He tasted so sweet just as how I was craving for his enticing scent and I wanted more of him.

He squeezes my butt and I gasped, he took it as a chance to deepen the kiss. He slid his tongue inside my mouth and tangled against mine. I moaned feeling my body going to explode when he sucked my tongue.

I pinched his shoulder making him groan, our tongue went on an intense battle but no one wants to submit. I felt him walked towards the bed.

He throws me down and takes off his shirt while looking at me with his eyes burning in desire. My eyes turned dark for a second before they disappeared and I acted like it didn't happen. He blinked for a moment probably thinking that he was just hallucinating.

He slowly crawled on top of me "You're my air Claire and I couldn't breathe without you." He stated looking at my brown eyes, his face is just inches above mine. "So please don't leave me, okay?"

He's worried I'll leave him... as he keeps on asking it ever since. For the 5 remaining years of my uncertain life, I won't leave him. After that 5 years, I know that the Claire he knew will die... again.

"I won't, as long as you need me," I stated as I slowly rubbed my fingers against his hair.

He closed his eyes liking it. The moment he opened his eyes, he smiles "Thank you..." as he caressed my cheek using his thumb and slowly leaned closer to me, when our lips nearly touched, someone knocked on the door.

Looking at the door, his face turned hard. But then ignored it as he looked back at me "Leave it." He stated and leaned to kiss me once again.

But, "Xen! Emergency!" I can hear Lucas banging on the door.

"Damn it!" Cursing, he hardly gets up and walked towards the door. I smiled looking at his retreating back.

"What is it!?" He snapped angrily when he opened the door. I bite my lower lip and get up as well.

"Woah! Easy boy, calm down!" Lucas said trying to calm him. I picked his shirt and walked towards them.

"What is it, Lucas." This time his voice was hard.

"Martin came just now and he's wounded." His voice sounded serious.

Martin... the cute guy from before. What might happen? I felt Xenon hardened.

When I came near the door "Put on your shirt and let's take a look at him." I handed him his shirt, he nodded and put it on.

Lucas' eyes widened when he recognizes me "Claire!" And suddenly grinned when he realizes something "Oh that's why! I'm sorry for breaking your moment. Next time, give me a warning so I know." His grin didn't leave his face.

I ignored Lucas but I sensed Xenon glaring at him. He holds my hand "Let's go." and started dragging me downstairs.

Leaving Lucas with his playful look.

"Martin is our weapon keeper... and if something happened to him... things have gone bad." Xenon stated while we are walking towards the living room where Martin is waiting.

Things have gone bad... how bad it could be?

When we reached the living room I saw Drena and Cassy giving first aid at Martin who is now lying on the couch with blood spread on his left leg.

From the look of it... it came from a gunshot.

"What happened?" Xenon asked, all the Insigma Fighters were already gathered here including the girls except Jenna.

Martin opened his eyes and tried his best to sit "They destroyed my place." He stated.

I felt Xenon hardened and the rest of the boys was shocked in terror.
