She sat upright in her bed with a gasp. She just had a terrible nightmare. Not only that, she fumbled by the bedside table, trying to find her phone in the dark, but couldn’t find it. She knew she left it there.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxeIoh1Zzb
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUuFdS8YOL
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqnWbyLP6I
Someone on the other side of the bed, stirred in their sleep upon hearing the ruckus and turned to look at the person fumbling in the dark.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeptAbzakgS

"What the-?" a bed lamp light soon turned on as the person who had been woken switched it on. "Nicani kanshi? (What is wrong now?) What are you looking for? And in the early hours of the morning?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9QytanZHl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvdLnsPzfw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBPt09jJKX
She didn’t answer at first until she realized that her phone isn’t anywhere nearby. She turned to look at her husband beside her.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwhsfTBj4w
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4BWXFEdE7
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyU4MzBoxa
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAVyeWvlTC
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP0RlbLH3T
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl06hSORyZn
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ILnCx4bjY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52d8zSBLPm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6zFmnM9wL
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQEMSnFij7
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhrdLbMTvj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97cKMEOYDw
"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIFrSlPOJr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCqjjSVKpm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPvFbG05Bh
In her black nightdress, she went to the dressing table and found her phone there like her husband said. She quickly took it and turned around to get her black sleeping gown at the foot of the bed. In her bare feet, she quickly went to the door and left the room. Her husband growled as he lifted his head to see the door left wide open. He muttered and slowly sat up.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCvQ8ENlUn
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQvr4OXyxi

"Yaba (Goodness)," he groaned. "Here we go again."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlw4pclk5f
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBZJsLBYFD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bPwpSVW8Z
She walked down the quiet, dark hallway until she made a corner, entering a room. She flipped the switch and the lights went on in the living room. Likewise, she turned to her phone to make a call.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJaKcG9UKz
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7YDIltpQo
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT7Vk0sFcd
When she put the phone to her ear, the line on the other end didn’t even ring as the automated phone system said the person she’s trying to reach had their phone switched off.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqBczrbbzv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbFSzhun3g
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ESfMnjkA
"I told her not to be switching off her phone," she muttered angrily as she looked at her phone to make a call to someone else.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Dzq1Kzjw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLJRrarHle
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQweHdRTMX
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncs9P46c4q
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDiKlRiQpp
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXWp3KZ3xA
She started to pace up and down, bypassing the glass table on the white and black zebra print carpet. Not only that, she didn’t think of sitting on the black leather seats as with each minute that passed, her anxiety increased.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYndIs0mtR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMIGmsAVzv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk9k00xX1V
When the person on the other end didn’t pick up either, she sucked her teeth and tried to call again when she realized that someone is in the room. She turned to find her husband there in his blue pyjamas, looking sleepy as ever. She now felt guilty for waking him up.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz9ZWvuKpc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F25urXOOg
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1LXkOz3LF
"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkNmAj0c7s
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00N8vErehl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYku3RMwP2
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5ambCACIq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r72bK33Tj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp8o1K7pAp
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRnI59KBzx

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwybrRww7ef
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z5JfQF272
"Didn't you talk to her a day before? If anything were to happen, your mother or Katy will let us know."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkjEusPT31
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpj5cuCBwm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLgdpIJPhV
Diana’s mother growled in frustration. She quickly went over to one of the chairs to sit, her head buried in her hands. Her husband came to join her.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSxmKLs7y2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMec9qEypTT
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSifvLoIju
"You don’t understand," she said, dropping her hands to look at him. "I had another dream about her and this time it felt different."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7gwGP0k8A
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNASrkkaKeR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkE5TdgTaO
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEQnN85v77
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeKADTsgOB
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLViG8ACkq
Before she spoke, she bit her lip. She didn’t know how to explain it. Her previous dreams over the years weren’t as vivid and intense as this one.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCOpvcGLP6
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSbJZ6omoK
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCVVoQfpKw
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU4Pf8DQEk
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZzjvOv64b
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K2wrel3ZZ
"That’s what you always say when you have these dreams," said Diana’s father. "Aren’t they just dreams? How many have you had over the years, but they've never happened?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfleSMHlniP
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ino4rE7zB
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuTmimKX9g
Diana’s mother now sat upright, shaking her head. "What if they did? I believe they did. Besides, Diana doesn’t always tell us what goes on in her life. She’s so secretive."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KbhKYMSvl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtz6gCu5SA
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHZt5HWfBu
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62muuz07Cg
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpJK0wfrWm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXuGadd9uO
"No, I’ve always had a feeling that she's been hiding something from us. She’s a good girl, but I feel there’s a lot going on in her life that we don’t know about."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx1K77EeAV
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT09brFrmUu
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFyQFy2Lbx
Her husband rolled his eyes. "Please, don’t bring up those incidences that were happening in the neighbourhood. Those were explainable accidents, and you can’t point a finger at Diana. Most of the time she wasn’t even there, and they happened almost four years ago."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw7pxNqv1U
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTy6chADsA
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwy1iWANhX

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGC8allL1N
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44d1FjMP3Y
"Enough, please. That’s a long time ago and nothing has happened to her. You haven’t had terrible nightmares for years, so it's probably just nothing."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQPBarVFjz
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZl5zPehvd
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAT8KaWzaU
Diana’s mother looked at her husband, still with a worried look. She looked away. As much as he might be right, her intuition ate at her terribly. She can’t just ignore what she dreamt. If anything, it felt more like the first vivid dream she had of Diana; that she had died. She remembered calling the school to check up on her, and they told her Diana was perfectly fine. When Diana came home for the holidays, there was something different about her.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaZKPKijf4
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d3vVrrJFR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpWy86pdUg
"Tiyeni (come), let’s go back to sleep," her husband persisted as he held her hand on her lap. "If you want, you and I can call your mother sometime in the morning." 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cJn0245aP
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtpHdwKH1T
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiNWaVeOHs
She couldn’t argue with him there, but she felt she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. Not until she hears that Diana is alright. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFtHmAhmSX
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tqwHm8EWR

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1cRyzgGOh
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfShnrRp5i
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFojgiQOx7
"Be quick," Diana’s father stood. "If you’re not in the room in two minutes, I’ll come and drag you if I have to." 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwfIQiSvI1
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwpo1mxYa8
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCciHVI2ea
With quiet, steady steps, Diana’s father walked out of the room, leaving his wife still seated on the couch. She quickly sent Katy a text, but she knew it wasn’t enough.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdZ8OXJZCd

Namatama stood up from her seat and slowly started to make her way out of the living room. She thought she saw a shadow pass through the window, outside. Likewise, she stopped to draw aside the curtain. A neighbour’s floodlight shone brightly in the next yard. For a moment, she thought maybe a cat had passed atop the wall fence, causing the shadow she saw.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfPHH3PYSI
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRYs3bA4O3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEw9BmVPQC
Before she was able to push the curtains, she thought she had seen something through the corner of her eye in the room. Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly turned to see if there’s anyone there. The only people awake are she and her husband, and she would've heard him if he had made his way back in the living room.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErFiGnAhsc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L6ZoqbSBS
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uBKz7mz9g
"I must be imagining things," she told herself.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiKtH1VEpQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGS0erStaa
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatV580P3P2
"And what if you aren’t?" came a voice.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8DZ1FGxPG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNyekEBIlw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLAwfZ6pEN
As soon as she heard it, she jumped in fright and almost screamed, but someone covered her mouth with their hand from behind, holding her in place. Diana’s mother is now terrified that there's a stranger in the house. She started to breathe heavily.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjlVcyX2rr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3PZRvbxkk
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H6jZZXvw3
"Don’t move, and I won’t hurt you," came the voice in a soft, yet dangerous whisper. "Calm down. I’ll uncover your mouth. Don’t scream or else I'll kill you. Nod if you understand."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U9efFl49d
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ysBuAq57C
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBcGHyZztP
She nodded, and started to slow her breathing. Her heart beat fast like a drum that she could hear it. The person’s hand over her mouth slowly fell away, and she felt relieved. She quickly looked behind her, but no one is there.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH35K678Q1d
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNgN2566tC
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNmPBszgDl
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPPXb67Y1n
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBILiuwFns
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeLjgCw9sL
She swallowed and slowly turned her head back. Likewise, she found someone standing in front of her, all dressed in black and floating in midair. Namatama gasped in fright as she thought she would never come across the terrifying skull-faced mask ever again.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToyyMfqDw3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMFicUgJTu
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlzm8VhJeW
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRWJtHUWgd
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oyyyNVyZH
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVOJ43jwua
"What are you doing here?" Namatama asked, her voice breaking with both fear and anger. "I thought I told you not to show yourself ever again."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyziCozNvpg
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzSrKEclnC
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bu6msWb0G
The floating figure raised her hand to remove the mask. Behind it lay a young face of a woman with light, brown skin and sharp, dark eyes like that of a cat. Her lips were coloured black, and she grinned at Namatama with her white, razor sharp teeth glowing in the dark.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksrRWteVdl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FHiJjPe4J
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjIQrtTD9W
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCToLzfjOP
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsyr8Md8D7
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3smeaaObFN
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x4qJ67OBD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7uwWTMCSm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xYiUaFboD
The woman chuckled. "It’s sad that you don’t know what’s going on. So much has happened over the years that you’ve failed to notice."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbEbvUjMfQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWYJDTbkUh
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi87x6fP4j
Namatama’s eyes widened. "What do you know about Diana?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyTvEeezNc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedHRZbl2tJ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBZJmxJwtN
"A lot more than you, that’s for sure. Diana is a very special child. You should know that."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUBfi6mNj7
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARwJpi8YQI
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQQoLlgFys

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb4XDpCw0w
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdOFVmGwDW
The woman floating in the air came a little closer. "You know that she’s beyond special. It’s been that way from the day she was born." 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmZNYMNGwL
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjPHSmDkCx
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxlOerSPnw
"Get to the point. You came here after such a long time to talk to me, and it’s about Diana. Tell me, is she in trouble?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBwt8jtLti
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknMIy4rPrw
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo2Ep5n7NX
The woman smiled as she backed away a bit. "It’s not good news, I’m afraid."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rqMSJRF8F
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ltFNtaSM
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAsyrYUXXd

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlq7ZrsXO9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CYMFqLnB9
The woman stopped smiling as she sighed. "Her destiny is catching up to her. It has been for some years now."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrOaYq0k8P
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ166OvSXNQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T18sMQCRf

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zq9PZtHZd
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ypB7ppRZQ
"Honey, why aren’t you here yet?" Diana’s father called out. Namatama almost muttered out loud, upset that her husband could call out like that when everybody else is fast asleep.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkrqq62pk2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXAjbUnZCK
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQjslI1Y5e
"I think you already know how she started behaving when she came back from boarding school a couple of years ago. Some might think she was going through puberty, but you as a mother knew better."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauo1tczHUa
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjaB2ZeBiJ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMawbO4ekZM

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm6cSFOHzo
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6nV73deKw
The woman in black nodded. "Yes. She’s been trying to act as normal as she can around you, but it's been difficult to keep it under wraps with all those weird events that used to happen."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQabxTYcdl
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJxgCdAH35
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TVvMyTOkd
Namatama’s eyes widened with fear. "Tell me, what’s really going on with her?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnLBVqlZA3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojH7yX5RMm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoMP6XwrxX
"I can’t spare you all the details, but all this is happening because of what took place the time she was born."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfnWYy84nj
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwU7DjBMUX
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0RkTVvcH0

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhgVNWcuzE
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUKZV6czAx
Namatama continued to back away as her heart started to feel heavy with grief. She felt a sharp piercing through her heart and tears already started to fill her eyes. "What have I done?" she muttered. "What have I done?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGochexDEN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZOV9kpbwq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5FQ3oDqA0
Her hand flew to her chest as she sank to her knees onto the carpeted floor. Tears quickly fell onto her cheeks as she covered her mouth. The woman in black continued to look at her as she said:326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GXN3Ydasp
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZGxdFaFF1
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMvKCEcCFA
"As heartbreaking as this is, you should know that Diana is a very strong girl. But I’m afraid the danger she is facing right now is too great that she has to brace herself."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nkePkOPR3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xHgmaD1Bf
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLoECbSOb5
Namatama looked up at the woman. "You claim Diana is strong. How strong when she’s just a young defenceless girl?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiYh8DtOGm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuUC0MWGJR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbTIE1h7ub
The smile the woman had earlier plastered onto her face again. "A lot has happened over the years that has made your daughter the bravest girl I’ve ever seen. She’s been through a lot. And for a girl her age, I’m surprised she has matured this quickly, especially with her true nature coming into fruition. Many people wouldn’t have handled it as well as she has."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51lQuMKfte
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpfMldWAVU
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLQsbyE9F8
Namatama sniffed as she wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Her true nature? Does that mean she’s like your kind?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALLPZDU7Sk

The woman put up a genuine smile. "Just like you, Diana is also very important to me. Don’t make the mistake of not telling her. It's best it comes from you and not anyone else."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopZskNKrTP

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2h0nWEZQv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2rrBMOqqR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcchFJnGYc
Namatama quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and stood up. She looked in front of her and the woman in black had disappeared.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM2D0Mnt6Y

Namatama couldn’t argue there as she followed her husband who made sure to switch the lights off in the living room. As they walked down the hall, Namatama couldn’t help but let a tear in her right eye drop down her cheek, praying for Diana to come back home safely.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE0JPd2Yp3

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdJCf2VfU5

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETf3ylKF0H
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dvUM9UaB4
I look back at him, trying to relive what happened. "Well, I’ve encountered shadow monsters and also a level one." I feel Stella look at me. I must have forgotten to mention that I had faced a level one before. "And this one felt like the one I fought before. Shadow monsters might be mindless creatures that love to bring about destruction, but there’s something about a level one that has always kept me wondering whether they really do think on their own."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpZ05xevYr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgcNI2x1bT

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0jaqucHzh
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O1ywrLV7d

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLkND5iMgQ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIOXfbiaz7
Lucifer chuckled. "While the supernatural world is a mystery to normal people, many supernaturals have also been blinded about their own world for years. Only a few go looking for the truth, and they don't like what they find. I hate to be so flippant about revealing the truth, but I'm not the only one who can control them."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H9QXD7R48

My eyes fell to the floor. This changes everything. Someone sent that thing after me. They must have also done so the first time I encountered it. But who could it be?326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXUOFYqois
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzu9xiDtJd

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmT3rfV2Dl

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2MzDoWclM
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwA3ULgiQW
Everyone around me is silent. I’m not so sure if I’ve asked the right question, but it’s the only thing I’ve been thinking of since the stunning revelation.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw18kn1xC9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY0xxU86bb
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT7VqiKjvs

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikbikmSuNS
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzsghVNZtE
"So, I can easily control one?" I asked.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwKYvviCW6
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbixYoSOUq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0fAH7TYaG
"Yes. But…," he now stood up from his seat and went to one of the bookshelves in the room. "There are a few requirements that you’ll need."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0poHEQUHa
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdex3UZdqzf
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajT3jFOSo
"Something tells me it must be dark," said Mutale.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLqZwiCCaH
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFWPwkX08a
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqeC6f7DRo
Lucifer ignored him by not commenting. He looked through the bookshelves at the thick books with hard black covers. I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but you can tell nothing good comes from those books.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFaXxsZEUA
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc6JgOWlRD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLB6uHKyra
"Okay," he took one thick book on the shelf and brought it to the desk. It looked so thick that I’m glad I’ll never get to read it. Who knows what dark things it holds.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWjDCefQBs
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iqn3l5zuG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2shxs9AUSW
He started to flip through the pages and I couldn’t help but take a peek. The pages are old, and I noticed that whoever wrote the book, had a pretty sharp, cursive handwriting. There were many drawings and illustrations on some pages and a few of them looked quite gruesome. Stella didn’t fringe away from looking at it. I turn to Mutale and I see him look the other side. Some Elite soldier, he is. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDSWLIDMC3
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS3XZKvEB4
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM9AcF42Ju
"So," I turn to look at Lucius behind me while we wait for Lucifer to find the page, "you say controlling a shadow monster is difficult. How difficult?" 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPxv0h3VSV
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIbGLAxhYp
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEmHv9i5qH
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv07fX2iMLb
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gx0iyZxkV
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2fro0d42H

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf4uSbixGx
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLVXap9odm
"The way you control it is almost similar to the way you can mind control a human being. It’s easier on humans because you can manipulate the mind. We already know shadow monsters are mindless, so you really have to dig a little deeper to take control of them, meaning it takes up a lot of your energy."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDkypqE9RO
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhGrHLmgBZ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ8MgCoINP
"And if you aren’t careful," Lucifer chirped in as he continued to flip through the pages, "you might end up breaking your mind."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUdDTTiiam
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF1GiDWQZR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG1cLAU40R
"I’m guessing whoever brought up the rumour that only the devil can control such things, must have done so to prevent us from ever thinking that we can control one," I said.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRqIkvdzOJ
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIFGKcGYER
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RX6Ha90xC
Lucifer chuckled. "True. We did that because we know if many supernaturals broke their minds, we would’ve a lot of them causing havoc when that’s my job. And I am at least a little lenient." I gave him a look on that last part.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUPYJO2KBD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTMngUgnoY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Zr6j4pgo

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs6cgkbklD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHbz4wPesq
"The Immortals of Old," he answered as he continued looking through the pages. "Those who have lived from the beginning of time, so to say."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfQMnsbjE6
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90oaGoPsRo
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl0Rt8Iv48

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIvWzBOGNx
"If I can recall, the person who was in charge of the Butterfly Island before her Highness was there too," Lucifer looks up at Stella.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ4uuPhX5g
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys3ApCHGTG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphcx7bzLjI
"Her Highness’ father," Stella answered.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeFi3pld7R
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ7JlBnMSG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmsVXrmfH4
"What happened to him?" I asked. "Did he die or something?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7E90npaxV
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SVzL2nBrt
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9emKNYVnXx
"Killing an immortal is hard, and you know that better than anyone, Diana," said Lucifer. "That old fella is probably somewhere either in this world or the other in a peaceful place chanting mantras or something."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVIyBTRyFv
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpzdvE3fZY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHZ8Fyf3x
"True," said Stella. "No one has actually heard from him in ages after leaving Her Highness in charge. I actually have never met him."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAjjs6qQiP
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN1WTi4OVx
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JmPPferOt
That’s a shock. Whatever reason he had for leaving his position and going elsewhere must have been genuine. The world of the supernatural is just as confusing and chaotic as the human one. If also given the chance, I would also disappear.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx0rpsMrQc
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO63yGC9ay
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fBwMf8N3g
"Ah, here it is," said Lucifer as his right finger landed on the desired page.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMImOAnQkW
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlen84G2k1
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjwYzYbVhS
Stella and I quickly stood up from our seats to look. Mutale remained where he is. Lucius slowly came to join us at the table.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAbpD45YRb
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ixAMX92Gm
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU8ZKRexOa
"Okay, so," Lucifer pointed to the paragraph on the page. "Like I said, you must be a supernatural. It says here for you to control something as dark as a shadow monster, you must join the dark side."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwuMHhBCVd
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv5etLMzzy
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq5uCtvfeb
"Meaning your side, right?" I asked, looking at Lucifer.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrPRYjG1YN
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrS5VNPW8X
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmms9sma4oW
"Yep. Selling your soul to me, that kind of thing. And…, it says here you must also sacrifice the one thing that means precious to you and there are some blood rituals you’ve to perform with all the symbols and stuff."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF2G3ufQxr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZT8NDfZUR
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFn4HID9iQ
"Okay, but these are just the basic stuff that a lot of us could’ve already guessed," said Stella. "What we really want to know is who could it be."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk84VeRyHD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9eOeQlChr
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL29rRha8j
"Stella is right," I said, looking up from the book to Lucifer. "You say anyone can control a shadow monster and these are the requirements. Isn’t there anyone who can naturally control them like you do? What if the person we seek never had to perform this ritual?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaoM6R0O9k
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL03CqsqNm2
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBKScLbnJQ
Lucifer now looked at me and this time, he had a grim look. "I was afraid you were going to ask me that," he said. He looked down at the book and flipped through a couple of pages. "Apparently, you’re right. I’m not the only one who can control them naturally. There are two more beings that can."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2ELtpGCPz
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkA3lR9w0t
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06mEnOG75w
"Two more?" Lucius also can’t believe it.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDp9I3FaSh
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBQ3N0L6ES
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBSDCSravR
"You really should be reading more," Lucifer threw his son a look. "Let me skip to the last part."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0sNPI7ShG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VRmuUDQF9
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKFbTecKRb
Lucifer pointed to the top left side of the book where there’s a list of names. His is the top. The second and third made my insides freeze. I should’ve known better, especially with the third.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu3c1hSWED
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8LQtAi6vz
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXDfxHZ6LI
"No way," Stella said, bringing the words right out of my mouth. "This isn’t true, is it?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYEViFoWg1
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Av9SFuoq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6EHmUtm5J
I see Mutale lift his head and Lucifer now threw him a smirk. "You want to see it for yourself, don’t you? Lucius, help him up."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftZGmQuSu8

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjruV9gBer
"Oh, I think it is." Lucifer brought his left hand up in midair and at the same time, Mutale is lifted off his seat and brought forward. He flinched at first, trying to get away from Lucifer’s invisible grip, but he knows it's pointless. 326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A1PY3skLD
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l1IxbBE8N

Lucifer turned the book the other way around for Mutale to look at. Mutale did his level best to look upwards, but with a simple bend of his index finger, Lucifer made Mutale’s head point downwards. The look on Mutale’s face as his eyes fell on the book said it all.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCBC17z47R

"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaUPG6vqjB

"I’m sorry, but this book was written centuries ago," said Lucifer. "Like I said before, so many things have been hidden from us that we only know what we think is relevant because it’s been set that way for ages. No one likes to know the truth. We all just like to hide in the sweet bliss of ignorance."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnPKULQIty

"Enough," I said, taking the book and turning it away from Mutale’s eyes. "There must be a reasonable explanation for this. May you please put him back down?"326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlITqP2trj2

Lucifer dragged Mutale back to his seat, making him land onto the chair. This time, gently.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEHodoKRzc

"Well, I think I’ve taken in a lot of these revelations for one day," said Stella as she looked at me. She soon went to sit back down on her chair.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFPPZRuUBN

I look at Mutale, and he still looked horrified. I feel bad for him. It’s not easy receiving the truth like he did just now. Even I’m trying to take it all in.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRe1SIJd3v

I went back to look at the list and I realized that just after the first three were a few more. But the names were written in a symbolic language that I couldn’t recognize.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlHAyqEpDq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ao6gzJlxK
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSnKJlKYkS
"What does this mean?" I asked Lucifer as I pointed at the other names. "I can’t seem to recognize the words."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgdKgqHh9E

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQa0szkWH6

Lucifer now looked at me and that charming smile of his came back. "It’s not necessary. If I were you I should be more worried about number 3."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ79rQ8gaCL
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5ecDxrY4k
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEGDOhLSma
"He’s right," said Lucius. "I'm not surprised if he so happens to have sent the shadow monster after you."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsAOnDt07k
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFU7OJ9XRG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPncS5LoIO
"I’m worried about number 2," said Stella. "The thought of Him sending a shadow monster after Diana creeps me out."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqBana3rCm

"Don’t say that," Mutale spoke up. "He can never do such a thing. That book says nothing but lies."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrJOdDA5m4
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aoD2gUGnq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TPIJOnv3R
"I’m sorry," said Lucifer, raising an eyebrow at Mutale. "But isn’t He the same person who created day and night? Light and darkness?" He sighed. "Let me tell you a little something to ease your mind a little."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQOeEGfpwi
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupLzZAzMUG
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZorZY9fmqV

"As much as He can control shadow monsters, He wouldn’t do it just to get to Diana," Lucifer continued. "He has you Elite soldiers for that. If He wanted to, I bet He would’ve sent his angels to do the job, but the Golden Elite decided to take up the role."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLhTBYmO6n

326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JVI5RDttf
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBWLt6hhPT
"He can’t control a shadow monster without me knowing about it, so he’s already out of the question. It’s just the way it is. Moreover, if I try to do something similar to the light, he would know. That’s why the two of us have always stayed in our lane to not bring about confusion. But I do like to give him a challenge once in a while."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV1xT61c40

Lucifer threw his son another look showing that he’s annoyed with him. Before he could throw a comment, a knock came at the door. For a moment, I forgot about where we were and that there are people in the house. Lucifer told whoever was at the door to come in, and the door flew open. A woman in a black dress and white apron stood there. She is short and plump with her blonde hair tied into a bun. This must be the house help.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVEusEAXGP

"Yes, bring it in. I want you to tell the guards to get everyone out of the house," Lucifer ordered. "The place looks like a hellhole."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pudob0tFY
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHF1jqT0rq
326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkzxQIcIGu
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqbtLy8ojs

The help dragged in a movable tray behind her and there are all sorts of delicious breakfast treats: chocolate chip cookies, eggs, bacon, bread and cereal for any of us craving for it. There were plenty of white teacups, plates and bowls to go around. And after all that’s happened in the last few hours, I now feel hungry.326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74zmLu8oyU

The help soon left and Lucifer said, "please, dig in. As for you," he turned to Mutale, "you also better eat up after receiving the news that your wonderful Being isn’t involved in this mess."326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5HrspH0NQ

I watched the three surrounding the tray before my eyes flew back to the open book before me. My eyes are gravely fixed on the name that's third on the list and my hunger quickly dissipated. I should've known earlier that there's only one being who really wants to get rid of me with all their might:326Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX1qrmXwZj
