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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1JvwOUxH2
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBHpB1S75y
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMf6A8NiEF
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5pOmvgXlm

"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?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgwZknlTt0
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx84JbUl4J
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsFFV9lMab
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm0lCkGjvG
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVIwcTMjtH
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5oTELAzsF
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMQSZgRFYL
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuHxPLvd3B
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17K3AVdkLl
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqArqijaOjL
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fjg6rnE2B
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3xzPywQqN
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsmvJt5FUW
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmtHJ670nE
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8eWrPDR33
"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRpUXJgOoa
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMhnBVtbU5
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nPxniA8nB
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm5VMCxiu3

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJZz3VArfs
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NFUvDk15v
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEf6OIUSQY
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3v7G3kDfF
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54sybNtaHZ
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhnKim3VFY
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mT9UkWXx6
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrFZvJE0JX
"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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ojIQffqb
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWTyrCbs1P
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydwbRGeMny
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7uvgfFLVS
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww4dpCfjSu
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSvfmc0SE
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFshi3uqrK
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqmX6WPWWR
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORiZkntbkd
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf4cTwRIjL
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIxaHbDPyi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9mAgBucQd
"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCMoAu4vB1
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5tDsLoFr2
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE0l6gKdYc
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDyIMXUiWa
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX62xqymoG
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMhmSt1KFE
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxy0q6piIn

"Didn't you talk to her a day before? If anything were to happen, your mother or Katy will let us know."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2lywRL4Hi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeS3Mjeh9l
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE5NmwJi16
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLWL2SRTwW
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbv0Q2ZCIr
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4ZA7nUxWp
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANjG1ag6n
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xEpZ1W0D4
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgETqhfcZy
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyn6n0yQOn
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYeoO12y8Q
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Fgi1TZzs
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4abO5981p
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL49A8eCpEL
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIpt2Fpyo9
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1FdGBox2i
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9OEA9vpkC
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIgOyow3nj
"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?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibWFiqvN8g
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmFHdt02Qw
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B2EE6fra0
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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQvrNZnvWU
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ldDNDGFp
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsF3TLqBjv
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7w46ZN51I
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhMrGyhzPi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQYVesB2ot
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTOeCjhWu9
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkkHqc2Lwy
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nYBVwrupA
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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUGHtac21G
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMn89eFlAW
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fAwp36iC7

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEhiOYf5oa
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6iNh7OImM
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aE8obaiqn
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JNLgKYbwz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1474NGfIQ
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHDvtFTaOc
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFfj6v6G7M
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTkN8Lmpe2
"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." 302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fYOek1n4p
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNKWnVu25S
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLbP1OByEY
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. 302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYZJdvCNz5

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKknXKtV3yr
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rMX472gwE
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6Yvd48MeJ
"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." 302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmokFTy0Eb
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOBiS4gOzv
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNHbjINQgN
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tayFHqagU

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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfbja5Rkeq
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmaUq9eN1V
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr6Lnqg9qi
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBauXmEl3H
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k2B2yrNwd
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48El0srI5E
"I must be imagining things," she told herself.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmWPujpHFz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrcnE4U3n7
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8EIGIIhRM
"And what if you aren’t?" came a voice.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38TQNS0wB3
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG7oaFO7U9
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCcZmU5FE7
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zSYqv9fPi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNSSSFZ0ND
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8wt3C0LuZ
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD1wW6DBMo
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6546o9XRi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2c9B9ZMQg
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9cVKK87Kz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeIY8eRoX2
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ruIXWOn9T
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tzREGbczz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqWoQopP5U
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCCaRzCJ8P
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W0JG0IOWQ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoGB4rRFKH
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLNBNepZVV
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmHQmyit99
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nRKuu2PTy
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKIq8mOADH
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoslXgIlKt
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPGxwB76sO
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHcoJl3m4T
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd9psIknHG
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DckYyuU7p
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZF6mIawXx
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28HM81qgNZ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOzOl40bqJ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9y1U4ynk
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZg3AIrduN
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KbSziWrtx
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnJXMgsM1p
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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V1dbtAIYa
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhV7fMijjG
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2wtu6u7rw

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLJXBXzlnn
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXnn3cH73E

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIiXQSgSGH
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx3oysnSZD

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHiAAF4kKe
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKLJx0z84L
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." 302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphnIrkhwSm
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNJnw2KtKB
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5aegiw6J4
"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?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAfYQsFCar
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yL4bJn8xz
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx11DEI9bIy

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz42yKGOgF
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol5Jy12MTY

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2eKqAzshw

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NgyEJLfSW
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFJ2ygk99Y

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVni539G3d
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ43a7DfyV0
"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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1x2iSQn86

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1aBE69CuU
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aqvbhR2lV
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSrLeg2GHK

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgiLUF4oLd
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlQZsjthxg
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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ljQMAxuwj
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbIY9yubfE
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuczjCmhjr

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVQwldax6d

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjsdX9bSka
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?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmkFoGpstf
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gze885xRe
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU7gOGtVk1
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:302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinTDk5r2PC
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMchJn7X1y
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaDHTJD0A7
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRC23Vyagg
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYCyGQnwh7
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEEzAzXVmu
Namatama looked up at the woman. "You claim Diana is strong. How strong when she’s just a young defenceless girl?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIjbXiEBJa
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLHaPwjoGn
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf5okTBPhs
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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunZEwI4A99
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfN8w9FAYM
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs68DGnEoSP

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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA8JgWsj1n

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFcN9u7tTg
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0536dR2hzd
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbvd7zUaKK
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrU8DEfqA5

Namatama couldn’t argue there as she followed her husband who made sure to switch the lights off in the living room.

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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU29TswyfqH

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoZEq2USwj
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.

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxP5zBT9j3
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCTCAx3efc
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJG54i6Mzu

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz9hKBXvsY
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkewqSchX9g
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayf8EsCAbx
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00sFMbA78h
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E8xPTxUqh
"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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhydohZcNg
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ386r2ftqzx
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkuw06ctR6
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. 302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpXgHd9YAQ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ4TdfwyDZ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OD5as6lgS
"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?" 302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjHRxU9nVS
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB8UuX0gbE
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tmgOxvHBv
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ejwrQdrUw

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z069w3pvO

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CxXTSrmI0
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eQME5pVec
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt04Ah2Kyr
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3YkIbOAu4
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAjpefarK9
"And if you aren’t careful," Lucifer chirped in as he continued to flip through the pages, "you might end up breaking your mind."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84NPzHlkK
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGRplz1TFf
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBUapqCjEn
"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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2J7XpZgwc
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav30ENZYPL
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmzasw92vi
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPPoJ1wLEr

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03yTvMdjGZ
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pmPJLgly5

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhRKNZM5rx
"What happened to him?" I asked. "Did he die or something?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBmWXRqY4R
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDyKbKRsdC
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EB8I8qlo5
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEmuRXDzMH
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdmEUwoGXD
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfH5NKbkTi
"True," said Stella. "No one has actually heard from him in ages after leaving Her Highness in charge. I actually have never met him."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xaOdhmqwC
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzgJF90UI4
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oSNq0TTxn
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHgivwlpyY
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OzWDjzty7

"Ah, here it is," said Lucifer as his right finger landed on the desired page.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dbYwHgYIJ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T2Se811gO
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd1TVjt8FR
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykRli2Dk0i
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM7G5K2jzi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1luUbNrrHC
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqt14pSK3l
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCGspAzMnP
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCDbFpEQl1
"Meaning your side, right?" I asked, looking at Lucifer.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5RdaltfEP
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeVKySBoGV
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVfR6hpcg
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukYb6ViUVe
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFYubl7pxD
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwqrvidttJ
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbJ7W4ffsk
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWCiCgc0V
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3nrOlRKlp
"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?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoHs4e8dgJ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyG8NMmXRC
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU76h0LqgvK
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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSOydLdBSU
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeDiaFupul
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3cQgy6baI
"Two more?" Lucius also can’t believe it.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWITVovWfut

"You really should be reading more," Lucifer threw his son a look. "Let me skip to the last part."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA0zE01aMw
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g07SDzpOH
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM7bDQflYJ
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vB75U2A5V
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mZ64Ms8DW
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuL8TBRKjW

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9PaORprTi
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMao8rjsIQ

"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. 302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyMYHIXcbq

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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G7qQznBVm
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTgvO3dJtw
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IiIiE13Ao
"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdvgJqjrHo

"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXSJBowgjl

"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?"302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoQfJHavx8

Lucifer dragged Mutale back to his seat, making him land onto the chair. This time, gently.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7DTVY2H1i

"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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdVfcis8EU

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBW9JwhdZR
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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5B8aDLxkT

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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14uJo3MHmq
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6q0uOSFIX
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXHoPc2V53

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaDFkka9FL

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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyefBd71zAs
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM5Z2FtVpv
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgpkj7DTG2
"He’s right," said Lucius. "I'm not surprised if he so happens to have sent the shadow monster after you."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG1is9jbHA

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWXrXaNnRd
"I’m worried about number 2," said Stella. "The thought of Him sending a shadow monster after Diana creeps me out."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDKraBFi7S

"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh07Nb9WMdd
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF4ORpF0Qi

"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IMW5vQVzG

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0QVB5SR9t
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDmYj4AC5
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TXpgwpr40

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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUwCGU58vB

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaCBlRYaBK
"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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrVr1PhaZe
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Jrz89f9N
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXU29eG9uI
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KKFrcYtUq

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.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbiDC38aIe

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."302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOpTICOWVJ
302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFAQqWc2Gp

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:302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ARLtGEoEY
