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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoyvXhoYFJ
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsyNbRgKyk
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd3XYSWtzy
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUREqljYxH

"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?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FT3840q1H
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32QMWvOvbd
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz35UyzZU9
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUtkwFTaPo
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g7X6Xk3to
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADvVKtDuw8
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ljpk5ayd
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62IBvqrIbw
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbHQ0xOoZA
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1kgUxMRqu
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhoiP0yQEO
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnPczDm4Bj
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNbqa1qf4N

"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEf9reWcVt
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bXrWKTmuG
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIRd77DVqV
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr5hCfO1kO

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b0CJJHfoD
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfUqIGnBBk
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWktgYXSCk
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm9RM6DeRm
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGj63IL9lS
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM2JqI6Pn7
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VMWhrMd7i
"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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lng5bqLU8
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24XvMpSyPc
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNZohfAbHE
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoNcbDHPwI

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWReqODuB6o
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCX6RV5E63
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs7d4TG8b0
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3anA1jwl2
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyb4iPtxgU

"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7roFSqKL6
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdanbNnC30M
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdUI01BrNE
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBx92QpPX9
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHbjxKhXXv
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDzJINHbbH
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiRd78T205

"Didn't you talk to her a day before? If anything were to happen, your mother or Katy will let us know."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn0OVojRpe
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v77LF41Nc
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWsWQaphLM
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfonP61l01
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iQRvQF6PV
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DzyB5J7MX
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLkDLNsUVU
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M4vZ7APry
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8wLWIDjdK
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP4skW1k6D
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxPDfMAynM
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG4PabwTxb
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2ugREuluz
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpjx50J445
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmIgQh26e3
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbA6AjzsH0
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDRXqSDnjE
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tTQQf43Lt
"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?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOIph2jeQB
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaJNBw6H9E
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlet18RZgzt
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim0WXokNGO
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0WJWY2s9g
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNB8eIfoJm
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxezLdrIOy
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2DdWfBQui
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd4trZti4t
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC4UBnc2bj
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Pt2M5miR
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cK8gCawsW
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y5gDEDiqG
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5LacIX2bV
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIm3KKgjgB

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JaDrwqAUm
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkftjpr5tC
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Bb7iE2U8
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdzHr8lRkE
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPailFb7Waa
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI14MdYYsEw
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFQb3lLUAO
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ926NX9sxZ
"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." 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8cmIb9zxS
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRu453IybS
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlAMNz5eIk
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. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHOkz1yyFO

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXxEd91BpB

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz5RiahD90
"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." 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRKUZbPs1A
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ760sz8q9tB
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8uCD3SU3q
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkF0NywLTf

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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwZXMBZLQN
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5jM4BiyDX
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHL3gVNjuy
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkwjDxaeQV
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqmpu5LaTo

"I must be imagining things," she told herself.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZRftUH6Ow
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7C11AiKgg
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdShKm10Ac5
"And what if you aren’t?" came a voice.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Dc0uDIQI
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG4ERX5r77
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52t9E3TCgi
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39P5F73j3y
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6isyjXIvR5
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesaTgpbIpg
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULzlC7XYBo
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprjKjPUAfe
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPKRBy5R6j
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHiZuuJHUQ
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVTiFNRlz2
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH4YBEmMjO
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWapgwieKl
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxkZBa1rVt
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAs7xLLM7R
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vfOOuyHBl
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6DyAfEdrd
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGRhYWOIU4
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmapW7OMUuS
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kR5604QSg
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbeT2TH5XR
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvBQTCXoJF
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG2mTSABNv
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8WJViO2Wf
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWAeIPyePU
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J7IARrOeq
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iBTZoTx4M
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ4fCtQawF
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOw67qc107
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57aLDctR5C
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiB5Qlkw7h
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxogR02q7dJ
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDdh3wtgXi
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3vZDj8ln7
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3BRusittv
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3Fc8Y54aR
Namatama’s eyes widened. "What do you know about Diana?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ96UUmDbKt
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0GfI1a16Q
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BP5bhwmkZ

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccJ8MUal5Q
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0riC2q8RV

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncq9kgWYGW
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuc3hbQhwL
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." 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhnqecs49d
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6szqINBNNB
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24FjcCgAkm
"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?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnNZw2jTcT
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNQPM41QOq
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDiTIj8zH0
The woman smiled as she backed away a bit. "It’s not good news, I’m afraid."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElyBarwbkM
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOivPnOw65r
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz36o8U6Ek

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6sgOhHr6s
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42XQbwOjhQ
The woman stopped smiling as she sighed. "Her destiny is catching up to her. It has been for some years now."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3fyiD5Yq0

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykrFBSmijz
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxCI9iAOQ0
"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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNFFJD8385
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm02rf5610H
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpqMy8BaC4
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUxyQvLa2s
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcB9bcSfGD
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFkOuSCRH

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GdnX9GwYu
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeU1Mqiln2
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rknlN4mnF
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOtr5ZRiT7
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUH8clW1Va

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUnrtNurha
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCPJQplT8e

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie2S2axdQw
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aCVzNRlhF

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowkZiYemsP
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl940bMWWTy
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?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVgMLi4BYm
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImbSBqjN4X
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO7yAIFZ5h
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:323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsSMvKMhv2
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHj64tPVPl
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZjxVxYzLQ
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡido6RQbt79
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYxPliEr2S
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1FXNCgndv
Namatama looked up at the woman. "You claim Diana is strong. How strong when she’s just a young defenceless girl?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzncyvNonI
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokmqmx3cnh
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8tHQAZACo
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y423aCu5o
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVdev07ate
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE10FsQgoh
Namatama sniffed as she wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Her true nature? Does that mean she’s like your kind?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70C7Re1SM7

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtO31rySm2
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIA4mGgJf0

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I5hrgAskC
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKh9WUxJQq
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzpeXH6P1Y
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7DuYHuCpv
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Agh3Wsjvu

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

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjccbDcVOI
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYblJh17NY
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY7OdHLC1y

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I2ZyoAoCh
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrtmEMtUFN

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhswVBDCoR
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcYniLWRD6

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPerwMaKsE
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarBzf2uEW7
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2gnmdnVNA

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6TWuyZLLy
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclow9KdOHX
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBf3sDan24
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjq0xTIock
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WkbzREAEr
"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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c6kAvNIPK
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli3kA0ueAO
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWw3D325lA
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. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXjz5uCvec
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDXh32cpsV
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUDuK2Zc0o
"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?" 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdEhrq67RT
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9OuvVaVuF
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmxfUARnIu
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvrqqx4Zci
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan3gSkqMWL
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxl32MTgZn

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHQqQ16KXU
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d09e9bdpo
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9sw1rEA4e
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7DnWHv1Qg
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRplvWp3Gt
"And if you aren’t careful," Lucifer chirped in as he continued to flip through the pages, "you might end up breaking your mind."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlASkvH3l6J
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrh85LRlMf
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxR5L6hUHI
"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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfUwOiISYh
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFpuPE0lm5
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYRpT1jdJi
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVtx72DgdW

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7xz8cZIlz
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZYk27wrtG
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWyiWAbEKf
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNI4bh49NW

"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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGctlXIVX
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM63igW1iq
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF5TzftTkY

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ578MxSYG6G
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXJLQBxr1N

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdNupYwv5Z
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNO1FauxYp
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjLaVtCf1X
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE7IRj3xOx
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2mi2CeLOR
"True," said Stella. "No one has actually heard from him in ages after leaving Her Highness in charge. I actually have never met him."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2GPHXrKmw
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArkYhlfQd
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhJMa4qzde
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZYCU3huaK
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAODyyt4b6Z
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMAlMAepCm
"Ah, here it is," said Lucifer as his right finger landed on the desired page.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmXq5n2Bw9
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BmcCJjns4
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpMT1esqkZ
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPB1zr7iuP
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6zD5ms3aU
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIkW8xKr7D
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfZwLZrLnh
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2KoM5QxNN
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDNdxpwhCu
"Meaning your side, right?" I asked, looking at Lucifer.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxinYV8vJu7
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJpRcAHHWK
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlAAFYMtIw
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8qVKJrfsN
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsCRDzp9pw
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiFzjAjx4t
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmLzjqfmFQ
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mrz1lDM2f
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXXZ1U5s0E
"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?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRumP3xJm9e
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnuMfDmWbH
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtydtLjVAST
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEesc3ycmTO
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTrOTp3DG2
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG0EMdw8V6
"Two more?" Lucius also can’t believe it.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoePtGQqGe
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X8lz1uJIl
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedLmHFttqd
"You really should be reading more," Lucifer threw his son a look. "Let me skip to the last part."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4IJIKQcaj
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQXuiCmPw
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwLjMLwT9G
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLH8TNv07k
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXIMeMmzg1
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmaw8XHZW2

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxA3Gs5RT5
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz69yPAsg8

"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. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8itMLgxMY
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRxryKEoz2

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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxoj64O0K8

"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL4gyNuD66

"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJL7KOIpGI

"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?"323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAeUWyZV8i

Lucifer dragged Mutale back to his seat, making him land onto the chair. This time, gently.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAEvJYIo0F

"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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsMomvsvRk

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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluSxgVfYXF

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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEddZYkATl
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIopb1gYRa
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0BpykVTRk
"What does this mean?" I asked Lucifer as I pointed at the other names. "I can’t seem to recognize the words."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOO8NVo5eD

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7ZflNfAmR

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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Ftuu7YKX
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpymX5Di2vP

"He’s right," said Lucius. "I'm not surprised if he so happens to have sent the shadow monster after you."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqj55kBDe0

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLB25yqalF

"Don’t say that," Mutale spoke up. "He can never do such a thing. That book says nothing but lies."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCBJteGTNL
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAvfwxUtZP
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JPsFFfbqi
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UmfpuydUY
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwAhJkOT3q

"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq5ht0whte

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzmVtsal6u
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHpBKxhMA4
"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q4mZambNW

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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkEpLpxrn1

"Morning, sir," she greeted Lucifer. "I’ve brought in food for our guests."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YVnqTdKEr

"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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOH1HzvtK
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANZpr4iHCE
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbyzRhf0V2
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqo9MnbGDu

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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF76TYFHQM

323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhafUBVTaSP
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."323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRha4tMg9f
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Ovsa33Hr

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:323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgPn3YgREl
