A/N: Alright! Time for the next chapter! Hope you enjoy!


Chapter 2: Frozen time

It was now early 17th century and Venten was training with her father Bermuda in Vendicare prisons secret training room. Today it was brute fist fighting.
Venten was now physically 16 years old but had been living since the middle of 14th century. So about 150 years. That was one of her specialty. Bermuda and the other Vindice had received he clear pacifier as Bermuda had the master pacifier so he will be in baby form and others lower class pacifiers so they didn't change anywhere.

Venten had grown rather nice looking. She had dark black hair which was reaching her hip and were little curly from the tips. She had extraordinary eyes! They would change by her mood. Usually they were clear silvery as she is very calm but would turn fiery red when angry those times she couldn't control herself or black when sad. Her favorite colors were red, black and golden yellow. These colors showed very clearly with what she would wear whether it was long black dress with red stripes or yellow shirt with red pants or mini skirt. She didn't wear top hats, robes and bandages like other vindice and made all of her clothes by her self. She also was determined about not being part of the vindice altrough she had the 8th element flame but that was only the surface. She had something that she would not tell to anybody. She had a new type of flame within her. She could not test it out without revealing herself and getting into some kind of tests but she felt it inside her as a warm friendly feeling something that she thought she could not live without. That strong it was.

The fist fight was faster than the normal human eye could see. Bermuda and Venten were exchanging hits like crazy. Bermuda had a slight advantage in size which was also a disadvantage as he is as small as a baby and also in experience.
''You seem a little sloppy Venten.'' Bermuda muses
''Really?'' Venten asked while throwing insanely fast and strong kick towards Bermuda which he avoided by jumping onto her leg and there jumping toward her trying to puch her into the stomach
''Yes. You seem to be in your own world today you lack concentration.'' Bermuda said while Venten avoided Bermudas punch and grabbed his hand and throwed him towards the wall
''Well yeah... I just have been thinking about something...'' Venten mused whilst gliding towards Bermuda who elegantly had landed to wall and there jumped towards Venten
''I'd like to know what you're thinking.'' Bermuda says while rotating to throw a upward kick for Venten
''Really?'' Venten wonders while blocking Bermudas kick by crossing her hands over her head
''Yes.'' Bermuda tells while avoiding Ventens downward kick where she made back flip.
''OK! So I was thinking to go outside for my 154th birthday tomorrow!'' Venten tells to Bermuda exited
''By all means if you wish so.'' Bermuda agrees whilst they start to exchange kicks and punches
''Alright!'' Venten says losing her concentration and getting a punch in her stomach
''Well I think its enough for today'' Bermuda muses to his coughing daughter who has bended for pain. Then he said walking towards the door ''You are free to leave tomorrow morning and I except you to be back for dinner.''
''Sure dad!'' Venten said looking smiling her father walking away

Next morning Venten took a really long bath and wore her favorite dress really really light yellow dress with light red string as braces and black lining on the bottom of the dress. She also put the jewelry that his father had given her long ago saying 'This was your mothers favorite jewelry set. I hope you use them on significant days like your birthdays.'' (A/N: This jewelry is the same as in last chapter which Marie kept on in the beginning)
Then Venten walked to her kitchen and ate some light breakfast as she planned to go out to eat something. She summoned the 8th element flame and jumped through it to arrive in a forest near to one of her favorite town Venice!

She went to the city and took a ride on gondola to middle of the town to her favorite restaurant. She had gone there for the last ten years on her every single birthday. The sweets shop was called gelato senza dolce (Straight translation of gelatos sweets I quess). They sold this cooled, soft, sweet tasting thing named by their surname gelato. She ate three of her favorites: strawberry, blueberry and blackberry. She couldn't get enough of em! Then he went to get some of towns best spaghetti. Then it was about noon. 'Time to go shopping' Venten muses to herself. First she heads to the local market and buys lot of trinkets like figurines and glass marbles and such. Then she found the cloth store and bought a lot of yellow, black, red, and some other colored cloths. She had bought so much that she had to go to narrow valley and throw all the stuff through the 8th element flame to her room. After that she thought about looking around the town. She lost the time and didn't notice how fast time had gone until the sun started to set ''Shoot! Dad will be angry if I don't make it back in time!'' She curses while trying to find a place where to go through the portal but couldn't find a place because a festival was starting so she thought it was best to go back to the forest where nobody could bother her. Luckily she had wondered near to the city line which was close to the forest. When she reached the forest and a opening she was shocked. There was a huge fight taking place there!

Venten noticed a little boy in the middle of the fight crouching and holding his head down. She thought herself that 'I have to save that kid.' and rushes into middle of a chaos. Avoiding all kinds of projectiles and knocking out people in her way she finally gets to the boy she notices that it's a doll and then she was surrounded by dozens of people! Rushing all together forwards Venten she was overpowered by them. Then Venten knowing she was overpowered she uses her flames blasting all of the men away from her. Silence... It was complete silence. Venten only stood there her eyes turned red until wind came by and bringing seven men with it. The one with orange eyes, blonde hair and flame burning in his forehead said ''Thank you for taking them out. My name is Giotto. If you don't mind I'd like to ask you some questions. Is it okay?'' Giotto introduces himself while Venten stares him blankly
''What is your name?'' Giotto asks *Silence*
''What family you are from?'' Giotto questions her again *Silence*
''Hey! Answer to him!'' man with red hair shouts while Venten silently turns her sight to him giving the man a gasp
''Now now G. Calm down.'' the other man wearing a white robe and from Ventens mind silly hat which she chuckled in her mind
''Who are you to command me Ugetsu?'' G said
''You should let Giotto to handle this to the extreme, G.'' man with priest outfit muses to G
''Let me be Knuckle!'' G shouts
''You wanna fight about it to the extreme!'' Knuckle yelled starting a fight with G where Ugetsu went to calm them both down
''Nufufufu... Maybe she hold some valuable information from other families'' Man with, at least from Ventens mind, funny looking pineapple hair said ignoring the fight in the background
''Maybe she is not from any family Daemon.'' Giotto suggest
''Nufufu... I doubt it. Look at all these corpses lying around!'' Daemon shows around the field
''I'll just handcuff her and we can question her in the mansion'' Man with straight black jacket and blonde hair said
''Fine Alaude. I guess it will be no harm...'' Giotto agrees after thinking little
''Alright then.'' Alaude said taking out his handcuffs and announced ''I'll go seize her now!''
''Is this all necessary?'' asked the green haired guy
''I don't know Lampo...'' Giotto admits while watching Alaude running forwards Venten.

As Alaude reaches the red eyed Venten he asks ''Easy or the hard way?''
Venten still stays silent. ''Fine then.'' Alaude agrees and curves behind her to handcuff her but instead receives a punch directed to his face which he just and just avoids it. ''What the...!'' Alaude wonders while Giotto and others watch them stunned. Even G and Knuckle had stopped fighting to see Alaude getting a kick in to the stomach and hard elbow hit in the neck. All of them were quiet until Daemon took a step forward and said ''Nufufufufu... I'll get this''
''Be careful!'' Giotto shouts now frontwards running Daemon who replies ''Sure!''
First thing Daemon did was drawing his scythe and then swing it towards her and get a punch into the stomach. Venten soon discovered it to be an illusion and Daemon standing right behind her and his scythe on her throat. ''Nufufufu... Mission accomplished. She was weaker than I thought'' Daemon chuckles before for his surprise Venten was right behind him to throw a hand chop to his neck. This time it wasn't an illusion. She knew it! Then before anybody could do anything she straightened her hand and shot a ball of 8th element flame into the middle of Giotto and his guardians which exploded in a tremendous force. Only one that was able to avoid the explosion was Giotto who had jumped upwards. The other four went flying.

''YOU!'' Giotto snapped and flew forwards Venten trying to throw a punch which Venten took to her hand and pulled him more towards her to hit him with a elbow strike. Giotto tried to block it but the force of the strike catapulted him away with huge speed. Venten glided towards Giotto taking a choke grap from his throath and pushing him onto a tree so that Giotto couldn't move. Giotto couldn't do anything but choke. When Venten had holded Giotto exactly 36,54 seconds Giottos flames started to flicker and before Venten could notice her hands started to freeze. She took a step backwards and coated herself in the flames as the ice kept spreading. Giotto could only watch horrified as she was getting more and more in the ice. Then Ventens eyes turned black and tears started to flow from her eyes as the flames around her disappeard and she apologizes ''I'm sorry...'' until she disappearad teleporting through her flames to another location. ''What was with her?'' Giotto wonders before starting to gather his friends to give them medical treatment.

Ventens mind was so out of place that she didin't know where she would appear! Then she reached her destination. It was under some kind of a building she could only see a little of light through a crack and some wooden pillars and clouds... Venten didin't knew where she was and that was all she had time to observe until the ice reaced her had. Venten went to a deep deep sleep.
