It wasn't her idea. She hated going out with them; moreover, it was one of those silent days. Ezekiel was still home and wouldn't respond to her calls, Eneizar vanished but Elijah took his place.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHua8SMGsq1
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7ZPawkHQW
"Why are we all going out when they are your friends?" Zoe asked dryly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiFswL6Y82
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz16Q3xv89U
Jasper turned to her and grabbed her hand. She was giving him the impression that she would get lost in the crowd if he wouldn't get a good grip on her.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdGyixFPd
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZVvSSQOGE
"Because you look really sad and because you need to meet new people. You only have demons around you." His explanation was logical but not for her.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ek3ySSqC
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjWwIx5kC2
"That's not true. I have friends who have nothing to do with Hell," She trailed, aware that she was lying to herself more than anyone else.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mM2G5qc6I
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0je0klQOpq
He ignored her anyway, "Besides, we will have a show later tonight and I want you to stay and watch,"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRXoSPUdl2
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn5MiUTsRx
That was probably the main reason why Jasper dragged them out. Thankfully, Mark and Luke tagged along, making Zoe feel more comfortable.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dVS0aUZ5x
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP58GGSxI7
"This is so exciting. I've never seen an improvisation show before!" Iaosur exclaimed joyfully.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePsyDPZPzS
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEcXm4lilW
Chen stared at the demon blankly, certain that he didn't know what acting was in the first place.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyf0ujTVIW
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvtwFYAO2z
"You seem excited about everything." Luke was joking but Iaosur seemed a little offended by that comment.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyjBHAgGNe
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFmdBKeAjp
The demon raised an eyebrow and pushed a ghost through the human, Luke's eyes widening and body shivering. He stopped in the middle of the road and gasped for air.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTLB6LAeeQ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuVMIUQyE5
Zoe turned around and glared at Iaosur.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkOPo6QcMK
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdOF9lyqVw
"I see two people fighting with each other in the same body." Jasper's words sounded crazy but that was exactly what was going on.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkX5iFhcbH
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ihiEXvb6b
He kept his distance from Luke but Zoe hurried over. She touched the human and the ghost fell out of his body, disappearing with a scowl.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXsRhoDN4R
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qgW2cVb23
Mark was confused, "What the heck happened?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRjEsEHN3r
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXames1IUdk
Jasper was wondering the same thing. Zoe glared at Iaosur and waited for the rest to move forward before she grabbed his wrist and squeezed it lightly. The demon grunted in pain and almost fell on his knees; his eyes became entirely white and the veins around his eyes swell, forcing him to cover it with his hand.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeg8hKt9Rn
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nkmBTEJ0t
Jasper was speechless. What exactly did he get into?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZklSiJFeSH
"You didn't have to do that,"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe4VzBUzTq
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1mcPlPH5c
After she let go of his wrist, the pain faded away. Iaosur could go back to complaining yet his veins were still swollen so he had to hide them while walking.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkffn58V8aQ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjgOfAirDo
"You pushed a ghost into an innocent human," Zoe scolded the angst demon.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslRb17Sg5g
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYh03xM4Dr
"He said something I didn't like. I defended my principles." She stared at him blankly, letting him continue before having the final word, "I know my rights and I had every right to punish him." The demon combated, his eyes widening slightly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYys26EzMP
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdhWcplsvs
"I think you and your values should keep it in for the time being."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwGv4hfirP
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ8OoMp2es
Iaosur rolled his eyes and continued to walk without a single glance to her.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6143WJYbx
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrWp5S3CX2
They were going around Upper London and there were a lot of stores she hadn't been into. She really wanted to enter one that had antiques, some of the things on display looking suspiciously real.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKinrWKdff
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW62O2ijje
The streets were packed and she could easily sneak away from the group. Maybe it wasn't a good idea, but she felt the urge to go and check out that store.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb5jknde5n
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26kmF2tesC
When she entered, a small bell rung and signalled a new customer; the person at the counter was sleeping. She raised an eyebrow and stared at him for a few minutes; he was quite handsome and young for such a business besides, the store was very fancy for a medium budget.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiROA1Tx9AY
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ko2lmG4cH
She walked deeper into it and touched one or two things. It had a certain comfort; everything in that place was spirit-less and had something magical about them. She noticed a doll in the very back, on an old dresser; it was pretty and vintage. Zoe smiled softly and remembered the toys she had when she was a kid.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEdx3WRP1G
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuHVy1zNtM
Two soft knocks grabbed her attention after a few minutes but she couldn't figure where it came from. She heard them again and realized it was coming from the back of the store. She glanced at the counter to check if he was still sleeping. He was. Good.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQUcocEnoe
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXi5RyLL9
As she was walking towards the sound, the knocks didn't stop. Her eyes narrowed at a certain dresser; it was huge, taking an entire wall. She leaned in and caressed her fingers over the corners, noticing cravings; they were Devil signs and she knew some wizardry was involved in the making process but it was amazingly done and it worth the risk.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNG06RlCNf
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcgKi7N0Gw
Knock. Knock.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydhvT9SuNz
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpZ5V9aRQd
Zoe heard it again. Her eyes moved upwards and reached for the handle. She was ready to open it when the warmth of another hand covered hers.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeqRwbEnlP
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlzdCMfDxi
"I wouldn't do that if I were you,"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNIMycaUYn
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZLptNp3cz
Her head snapped to him and she froze. The handsome young man from the counter was a demon; moreover, he was demon without a sign and without a certain feel about him. She could see it in his eyes; she could see through his eyes, actually.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YhClHyCHR
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5F1GNfBoC
"You are a rebel," She breathed, scared that someone else would hear.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAGW9Xkxjx
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXqal2M8ky
The boy raised both eyebrows and leaned in.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnD2MBSpHV
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA9Bq0SBrz
"Commander," A wide smirk graced his lips, "What an honour."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4DnCGDPDU
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZqytcHxYq
He had the face and reaction of a vanity demon yet at the same time, she knew rebels were demons who left any kind of connection to a Prince. It was really bad if he was one of Belial's demons, though, because those were rare and dangerous; moreover, they wanted her and Jasper dead.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kmpl0yOnp
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uAu5yClb6
Zoe swallowed nervously staring deep into his lifeless eyes. The man inspected her and turned her hand around looking for the sign. He didn't expect it to be on her palm, proving that she was a sneaky one and would prefer to hide her identity.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADvgKX3Ctw
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi55qYKSLO
"Are you going to kill me?" She asked watching him warily.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBozEtW03yd
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgRdQjxMBV
The demon looked down at her and shook his head.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQls3BquvZ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNNwfZpoNt
"Then are you going to lock me into the dresser?" She continued.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYsbP6BjRg
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvHSyfCzwa
He glanced at it from the corner of his eye before he started to chuckle.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTveIYGegm
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhT4hf1E3v
"On the other side of this dresser is nothing but void."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2tzX60IsF
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdQ8fulhwN
She blinked quickly and looked at the wood dresser; it didn't seem that dangerous.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gsvc60FHt
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyIach3uHP
"There is an old story. It is said that if you knock three times on the back of this dresser, a door will open; a door to a place where hope doesn't exist."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHZf6kYxDq
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpGPliWxg8
"Like Hell." She added.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGqPizeGpD
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTh03bm5hS
He stared at her closely, "Maybe. It's been locked for a long, long time by a witch and the story died with this master piece."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopf2SIIbQL
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhiymTNlLL
He had such a deep calming voice. It was a surprise that he was a rebel; Zoe would have preferred him as a friend and ally.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRE55zwEF4
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyF6HrGrfk
"And somehow, you got it."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIXj6mNDdK
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQwfVv5Ifz
He nodded and plunged his hands in his pockets. He turned his back on her and started to walk, Zoe following him closely.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmNMWQ6zq1
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnnNxJY3fL
"The old man who owned this store died of lung cancer a few years ago and his children didn't want to keep it. They sold it to some scum that wanted to destroy it and build a glamorous restaurant," The rebel started, his eyes staring ahead.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52GN9Fb6Cf
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7wGh0wIUR
She could already imagine how things went from there.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNke0FXPPNb
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtR3igngFZ
"So you possessed him and got it instead?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdrlkRb8iC
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5jtCK1o0a
The demon glanced at her over his shoulder, "I saved this place and made it a home for lost spirits. It automatically became haunted and he ran. He is still living his pitiful life somewhere."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAIqS5vMlr
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMEOKMe36w
She was a little surprised by the story but something was still not right. He was a demon with an antique shop.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd2BHGhC75
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwkK1v2yjs
"This is a place where spirits gather for tea. It's a place where no one is weirder than the other. It's my home, as well." He finished, glancing at her over his shoulder.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD66PDZRo7x
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEnuCrwYNJ
"Why are you telling me this?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8efaX62r3
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnhIKElu9F
He stopped in front of the counter and grabbed something off it.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSCUZe2Y1H
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfDXWwvyqV
It was that doll she saw before; he gave it to her.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpBluL5VLe
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76x3xhlelw
"Because that is exactly what your house is, isn't it? Iaosur, Gakhas, Mehrdir, Eneizar and so on; demons and familiars of different levels find comfort and safety in your home." He smirked and hit her forehead lightly with his finger, "You are their guardian. Just like a true commander, you lead them towards victory."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOx63IBthR
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoS2UqxjFr
She looked down at the doll in her hands but couldn't think of anything to tell him; it actually felt like he knew everything anyway. The man winked and vanished right in front of her eyes.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWRHsz4A7j
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3SaZmUFaP
"How can a rebel talk so leisurely and have such a bright aura around him?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsPqxQcalT
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolczdxg4HY
Zoe sighed heavily and pulled the doll closer to her chest. She felt responsible for it, for some odd reason.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ842LITbja
She met the others at the bar; thankfully, she knew where it was. Jasper was in the back, preparing for his turn while the others were sitting at a table in the corner. It was crowded and sweaty; however, she was the one grabbing attention with her new accessory.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdYuPd935U
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu5xUOrjii
"It seems Jasper has fans," She mumbled, sitting next to Mark.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH0XueZTai
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSuDZOu8Zi
Chen was ready to agree when he noticed her new friend.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlxi6k3EWr
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SzJ98E3Rn
"Why are you holding a doll?" He asked pointing at the vintage doll that looked quite sadistic for his taste.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL81tCGuqao
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pYQ1BToVv
"Why not?" She retorted.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJn2LjzQSP
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG5ZSEn7IF
Chen blinked and accepted her response. He had seen worse -The Volunteer and Cane Hill- and he learned his lesson; questions only bring more questions. Sometimes, not knowing at all is the best option.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6wBYcZSik
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH0MLDObt0
She sat in between Mark and Iaosur and she had to listen to them rambling about whatever they liked; that was a lot and they it seemed like they weren't going to stop anytime soon. Chen kicked her under the table and pointed at his phone. She took hers out and felt it vibrate. The text was about Ezekiel and his absence.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6XuuXT9KB
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTDLQlUjt7
She shrugged and texted back.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9rfkE6JfA
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHlcOwkJ2Q
Zoe: He doesn't respond to my calls and texts.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXlLUE02MK
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMn0F1bSo9
Chen frowned and typed right away.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe0pdCIdWU
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojei4RSfBC
Chen: I talked to his mom. She is worried because he locked himself in the basement.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zKJQUGxtr
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbLBDrepQV
She rolled her eyes. Who knew what was going on through his head?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6G2XGkOHQ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3jsiWleIK
Zoe: I'm sure he is fine. He is a big boy.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgBHQnuPmJ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEeQU5WxAO
Chen wasn't so sure about that. Ezekiel was ready to do anything if it was for family and Zoe became family besides, who could judge him? In the last few years, Chen had seen more than he wanted to.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN3rPqpLR2
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElVmEKo9r3
Chen:What if something happened?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0WaWrlpeY
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS30ihv88J
Zoe: Like what?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjK9kDnNn0
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGlmyHZrkt
The show was ready to start. The lights turned off and the girls started to scream. It was getting crazy but she didn't miss Chen's response.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VZRIU5cLf
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUra2wY7O40
Chen: What if he got fooled by a demon?846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI4ik4EFiX
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcKGLGOiin
She frowned and looked at him from her side of the table. His head was turned towards the stage but he wasn't smiling; he was worried for his best friend and he just made her share his feelings.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2YeckudqD
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK2uvUFwud
For the rest of the night, she couldn't enjoy the show at all because everything she could think of was how Ezekiel was gullible enough for some vanity demon to take advantage of him.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tr9CXCv69
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRMeL6DYva
At some point she felt someone grab her pinkie and squeeze it lightly; she looked down and saw the doll's small hand wrapped around her finger. Zoe chuckled and placed it on her lap but the worry didn't fade away; it was still there and it was eating her whole.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBRG2S06Om
On the other side, Mrs. Addams was in front of her basement door. She had a trail of food balanced on her right hand while she was knocking on the door with the other.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4yJ93ZiO8
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16O03RFa2I
"Ezekiel! Come out and eat!"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvX05Adhb
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EkYU6ESu5
She got no response therefore she sighed and put the trail in front of the door.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDpp8KX9u7
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYP0QtAFCh
"I got you some snacks. Get something to eat, son. Don't be stubborn!" She screamed and knocked once more but nothing happened, "What is he doing down there?" She mumbled on her way back into the kitchen.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk8KtaAOwH
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5defjbWfJT
Well, Ezekiel wasn't doing much. He spent the last two days searching for ways to transfer energies between humans and demons; he couldn't find anything on internet so he started to read.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IbAo7tn1O
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkEhAbWAqy
He couldn't find any demonologist who investigated or even heard something about that; most people wouldn't want to become demons. He was ready to give up when he found something that sounded remotely close to what he was searching for. It was called a Dangerous Magnetic Attraction and it was mostly about Succubi and Inccubi but Ezekiel wondered if it wasn't the same basic system.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBZ844gfSM
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u0gYcP5zI
"Based on trust and needs a demon gives you everything you want and even more but for that to happen, he needs a vow from you. That stated, the demon tries his best to gain your trust through your needs and greed. Once he gets you entangled into his web, you remain with no power against him. You get lost in the dark and can never find light ever again, you are doomed and your soul will eventually be eaten or locked up. You cannot change your choice or back down once you enter his world. We might even see it as a life commitment. Once your connection is made, you start living a lie. What is worse is that you cannot even see it as a lie. For you, life just became real."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEt7GLtF4n
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj5zngZefu
Somehow, those words sounded a lot like his actually life. If exchanging life energy for the best of Zoe was so dangerous then he could already see the threads of her web. She was the demon who gave him everything and made him live in her world; if the darkness was what consumed his life for the last few years then exchanging bits with Iaosur was not uncalled for.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKuaBknYjo
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc0UmjRnt7
He didn't have to draw any circle but had to find Iaosur and simply exchange some vows and eventually spill some blood. It was easy enough; Iaosur was part of Zoe's circle anyway. If he was her legacy, it pretty much meant he was going to give energy to Iaosur sooner or later anyway.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3neVv7qr8D
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9EsblJdwt
"What are you doing?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYguJj30tB
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2WZSPO0Q5
The human jumped in surprise when he heard Eneizar's voice.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcR41O0j2P
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7PLnURduh
"Can you not enter like a normal person? You scared me to death."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbnCwt5Lzl
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy8TNK84Vv
The vanity demon chuckled and walked around, his eyes scanning the basement like it was an infested place.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t95hFo2FZ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGxayZfpM5
"How did you know I'm here?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX9bKYgO4S
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMO6jFDbHo
Eneizar sniffed the air before walking closer, "I smelled you."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgruJ9cDNc
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuJHdKlyQ1
Ezekiel scrunched his nose in disgust; that wasn't something he wanted to to hear.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBjiuRrdsZ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr4EPujOwM
"Anyway, I know what you're doing."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWtUqHi0uk
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JNJUH6fy8
"Really now," The human was sarcastic and Eneizar hated humans who were using that tone; moreover with him.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpLCpULnVe
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXALxGOQahv
"I know you met Mehrdir. He told you to give half of your energy to Iaosur. Do you know why?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0V7EapIOV
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40fLXWsqSA
Ezekiel sighed and nodded, "Yes. Mammon is interested in me and wants me to give him some kind of link to Middle World."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29QDXhqvFg
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxPEF3Amch
Eneizar raised an eyebrow, surprised that Mehrdir told the truth for once. Ezekiel gathered his books and walked towards the door. When he opened it, he met Alice who was staring ahead with a poker face.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMhgD9V6ne
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAozG2RGebp
Ezekiel frowned, "Alice, what are you doing here?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn0MXVtIPE
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgTtVXrU4M
Her eyes moved around chaotically, just like the time you are asleep and have no control over your pupils. Ezekiel dropped the books and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her a little before she closed her eyes.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOUzQMxt2V
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq7FdAQjqC
"What the-"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9trV91G9c
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVeviN24Cv
His eyes widened when he felt a sudden stingy feeling in his abdomen; she stabbed him with a fork. If that wasn't ironic, he didn't know what was. She opened her eyes and Ezekiel saw darkness.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjcNDI0NsR
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjpCd8O5Ke
"Isn't this a pitiful sight? Your girlfriend is nothing but a vessel; nothing but a puppet in the hands of Belial," Eneizar trailed, appearing behind Alice.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5zXSbmXRQ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vSyiAosJD
Ezekiel coughed blood and fell against the door frame. He was barely standing on his two feet and no matter how much he was trying to gain balance, the wound was pretty bad.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0VF9MACm6
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0l299EJUk
The last thing Ezekiel saw before he fell unconscious was Eneizar's smug face, laughing at him like he has been planning his demise from the moment they met; he probably did.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDyKkCrEwG
Jasper's improvisation show was a success and the whole table was shocked just how good he was. He acted with other actors as well and even with his real childhood friend, Zack. Zoe could already see that poor guy take Ezekiel's role for Jasper's well being and she didn't want to pity him but he was going to enter some nasty world.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OfHVHCUxA
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq1H4fucaO
Jasper introduced his friends to them and while Iaosur's eyes widened in excitement, already planning something wicked, Zoe was squeezing the doll under the table, feeling like something was missing.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvxrSlIWoT
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGVk29pAXQ
Somehow, even if she didn't want to originally, the conversation took a turn to the strange arrangement between her and Jasper; Zack was very intrigued since he was sure the two have never met each other before.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpfxwgbbdK
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1k9PH0EVI
"So, he's staying with you right? Isn't that uncomfortable?" The human started, drumming his fingers on the table.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGX6hMm010

"I've been living with boys for as long as I can remember. I got used to it."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchy2GW1jmO
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiaATovEuU
Zack raised an eyebrow and nudged Jasper.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzl5JwR6sL
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtixGubfH3B
"Heard that?" Zack chuckled but Jasper shook his head disapprovingly, "What kind of men do you like Zoe?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15aE9zm1Gq
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyXPpF9rO1
"Stupid men who don't know when to stop and admit to themselves that they are wrong and someone else is right." She responded without thinking twice.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh6mSSyG9A
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bPeHwSBqi
Zack and Jasper stared at her curiously but Iaosur and Chen were trying their best to hide their laughter.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkZScLAqSb
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxpopPypDr
"Alright?" Zack didn't know how to respond to that, "So you like complicated men then?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WxMJUUKyR
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGblNq61g3p
Her eyes glanced for a moment at Iaosur before she turned back to Zack, "I wouldn't say that. More like, awfully blunt men."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAwxqrURl5
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ZFMZx96h
The demon drunk his beer and hid the fact that he rolled his eyes and said something under his breath, "You chose the wrong place to look for sincerity."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5765vR39K
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjRa81tTT9
Iaosur was quite blunt with his statement but he wasn't lying.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYtMscO2ii
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ7lhldaU5
They drunk more and even got deeper into the subject of relationships. Two more friends of Jasper's came at the table; one was tall and well built, his stage name was Manny and the other was a woman, really open-minded by the stage name Kitti. They were both in an underground band called Royal; besides, they were funny and livened up the mood.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7O8rTfizQ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fgb4qPpTN
"I heard you are a webtoon artist," Kitti begun after taking a sip from her drink.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeSl0mcbJ7
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyW5h4Fz29
Zoe nodded, curious how Jasper found out since she never told him anything about her life.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6HJMitO3r
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JGDxx9bSy
"Are you under some kind of alias on the internet?" The woman was curious and her cat-like eyes were boring into Zoe's blue eyes with so much ingenuity.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjDbhiFgFO
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rH0fWlEJP
"The Commander," Chen got himself kicked under the table right after the last letter came out of his mouth; rather harshly too.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MdtBe35RJ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxziyrFOCU
"No. I don't have any aliases. Only Zoe."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIuzzkCxtG
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfgQ85CJBm
Kitti nodded and asked for another beer; for how small she seemed, she had high alcohol tolerance.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RYsST2jB7
When the clock struck midnight, Mark and Luke started to shift in their seats, glancing at each other worriedly before they decided to walk out for a breath of fresh air. Ten minutes passed and they didn't come back. Zoe and Jasper glanced at each other before they went after them.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoN3cd1IOD
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtPV42wURV
Many people were that night in the city but Zoe could feel where they went. It was weird because they were humans and even as the commander, Zoe could only sense dark entities. She grabbed Jasper's hand and walked down the street, finding Luke leaning against the wall with his hands hiding his face. Jasper was scared and he had no idea why but he could feel his whole body trembling, reacting to something dangerous that he couldn't see yet.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg8oMiBmmI
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mjc0sgwOh
Zoe walked to Luke's side and moved his hand aside. The sight she met was one she genuinely didn't want to see, ever. His eyes were completely white and lifeless, looking very much like Gakhas' when he was watching TV.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJdVHuHQ5g
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSbLZgPdrY
"It's harder for Belphegor to possess someone who's been trying his best to stay in his body,"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4qN3bLz8p
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIFaMaOzQs
She turned her head slowly and saw Mark coming out from a side alley, his hands plunged in his front pockets. His eyes were normal and he looked normal but Zoe could see the dangerous creature inside him.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xZGH7Ipxt
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUTuMY6Zeu
"Surprise," He exclaimed with no excitement whatsoever.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSSrMn1rE8
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnnn8e0tXs
Zoe swallowed nervously and wiped her sweaty hands on her jeans, "Leviathan,"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjzPeTRwnU
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2FH0uhs05
Jasper's eyes widened and glanced back and forth between the two, confusion all over his face.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj31WCuwHKf
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDdp6PFahh
"You're possessing my friend," She continued, her eyes eyes narrowing slightly at Mark.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivrWKNSGD4
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ5DWTaRol
The vessel shrugged, "It's not the first time."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UGm8ARzYp
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT3zfANkYp
Jasper's eyes moved on Zoe. She had her back turned to him but he could notice how stiff she became, every muscle in her body tensing ready to defend herself.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDtyS4hiQG
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a4Rj8MxvT
"What do you mean?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbZFl7XizY
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaUiPF0n90
Luke seemed to have lost control because he suddenly started to laugh.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo8nJgA8QE
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZBtf5oeEO
"Do you think two boys suddenly moved next door in such a crappy apartment building? Do you think people can be so bright all the time? Humans have dark secrets, Zoe. Some darker than others." Luke's voice was definitely different and the changing was obvious, unlike in Mark's case.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUStG1zDUSZ
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxevGtlqc3
She didn't move nor blink, only stared at Luke's lifeless eyes, listening to everything he was saying.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTn1sWvj5r
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMmkpCfofL
"Let me see if I got this right. You two use Luke and Mark as vessels; have been since you found Zoe." Jasper clarified it more for himself than her.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtKrG02cWa
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTlozWX26Y
Mark nodded.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZxdQKssad
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxVDYuCytT
"Yes." His eyes enlightened when he noticed the mist around Jasper, "Oh, Bel. Look who we have here! It's the inheritor!"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVpbuUSTul
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qdv2Sjt0
Jasper's courage vanished. When Mark walked closer and started to check him out, it was both uncomfortable and weird.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEAHUtMXg3
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV8hiHbXif
"You are so weak, just like Zoe before she got the demons. I'm sure there is a Mehrdir for you too, Jasper. You already found your anchor. What was his name-um-" He tried to remember the name of the people whom Mark spoke with earlier, "Right. Zachary Park."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd79bpIcj4
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZXu9VNmjQ
Jasper's eyes widened and turned to Zoe for help but she was speechless. However, Mark continued, "And not only. You have your brother as well, don't you? Your grandparents were involved and your parents tried to keep you away but karma is a bitch."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1BRLfyG3Z
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJAy5XZyOU
Luke rolled his eyes and glanced at Zoe. He grabbed her shoulders and swayed her from side to side, trying to get a reaction out of her.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeIhdAgXf0
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy98FXVUDz
"Don't be so shocked, Zoe. You should know by now that no one around you is real. Never was and never will be; not even your love for Mehrdir." He whispered in her ear after pulling her closer.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7KWF3UMVj
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzg2DNETiY
Something clicked in her mind and she quickly regained her attitude, shrugging Luke's hand off her harshly.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f7nO7aF5V
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ5tYEQMon
That sudden trigger didn't come from hearing Mehrdir's name, though; no, it came from the endless knot burning into her palm. She glanced at it and traced it with her fingers, flinching at the contact.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvL3nVkmAw
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV2SGTtC7j
Luke took a step back , his eyes meeting Mark's. Inside the bodies, the two demon princes were getting pulled towards a specific place.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv05oR0e6as
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vGTDvnAxy
"There is a circle forming in a magic house," Luke started.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp0vbQN2vR
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ml3DO8fp
Mark's eyes widened when he realized what was going on, "They're calling for Asmodeus."846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z9lkdipph
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRQSyY9dCm
Zoe's head snapped to Mark, "It's Ezekiel isn't it?"846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGd5x3Ir0S
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OxRVSnPi0
They nodded. She looked down at her palm and saw her veins swelling from the pain. Her eyes started to sting and she became aware of the interferences in energies.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7YCsJk0OG
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuy98Iaeh1
"He's making an exchange," She barely got to say that out loud when she ran down the street.846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMW2Yz4Gfe
846Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpbLejkaW1
The demons left as well and Jasper found himself alone on the street with two unconscious men. He sighed and rubbed his head realizing that he got involved into a weird world.
