Where Is The Freedom That I Yearned?(XiaoVen au)

Chapter 1: Let me go

--Venti pov--

Ahhh another beautiful day! Can't wait for another meet up with my friends

Hmmm I wonder if I should buy a gift for them

It's been so long since we've met giving gifts isn't that bad

A few hours later

Now I'm finished! Now I'm tired... I should get going, I still have a concert to perform

I'll give this to my friends after concert, it won't hurt right?

At the concert, Venti and his friends finished performing

"Thank you everyone! I can't live without you guys! See you all next time!"

Man the crowds are noisy, it's hurting my eardrums, they should keep it down

As I was going home with my friends, I heard a sudden noise from the other side, cars honking, people screaming, people shouting words that I can't make out

And guns, Wait guns? How come guns are heard from the sound of the crowds

Kazuha was speaking

"Hmm... Something is happening, I'll check it out, you guys stay here."

"Kazuha, I'll come with you." Xinyan said

Kazuha nodded and went on their way to the crowd

There were people running to us, bleeding, why are they bleeding?

This can't be happening, guns... guns... right! Guns! I have to catch up with Kazuha, they're in big trouble

"Guys, you stay here, call my mother to pick you guys up, I'll be back."

"Venti, it's dangerous, me and Yunyun can't be here all alone."

"I know that, I'll be back with Kazuha and Xinyan."

"But-"

"Just call my mother Xingqiu, she'll be here."

I left running to the crowd, it was full of dead bodies, it stinks, it reeks of blood

Then, I saw Kazuha, with... Xinyan, I wanted to run to them but someone shot Xinyan trying to defend Kazuha who's wounded

Kazuha saw me trying to go to them, he shakes his head to the side saying "Don't come here" he has a horrified face showing

After that, I saw Kazuha getting shot in the head...

I tried holding my breathe to avoid the terrorists knowing that I was there

I ran back to where Xingqiu and Chongyun were, my mom was there, worried about my safety

"Venti, get in the car now, we don't have much time, I'll drive you guys home and get you guys some clothes and food for your journey. Please note that I won't be there with you guys, please take care of yourselves."

"But- mom-"

"Just, Venti, trust me, you guys have to go, I'll distract the terrorists who're going to your way." My mom said in a shaking tone, she's panicking, she's scared

I just nodded and we went inside the car, what I didn't know is that someone... someone is following us

"General Alatus, reporting, a group of 4 people are in a car, they're escaping, end of call."

"Copy that."
