The Devil's Beach House404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUXnn3Gmah

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIQzaguKIl
Looking out at the ocean on the balcony of the Devil's Beach House reminded me of Butterfly Island. I don't know why I suddenly remembered the place, and I started to wonder how people back there are doing. When all of this is over, I intend to go back there for a visit. I did promise Stella that I would.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMqBV6KyrL

I heard footsteps behind me, and I could tell it was Lucius. Likewise, I continued looking at the ocean as he came to stand beside me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvavCBbXhiU

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWX1PRhYf2
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ4RLLegbg
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus58kIc0M8
A smile automatically appeared on my face. "I'm fine, Lucius," I said. "I should have known from the very beginning that Death sent that thing after me."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BKNxAsvdF
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIASd7MV19L
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8J0nHZs6c
"Well, there was no way of knowing. I mean, you just learned that any supernatural being can control a shadow monster if they want to."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStw0C2mDZA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ToPszPeQ4
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FjtjAUgdt
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziC4MWhs8Z
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif0xRAjWrQ

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwGcQ6NAo4
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfbq2qaWS9
I now look at him. "Of Death? We will all die eventually, except for immortals like you. That's if someone manages to cut your head off."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvYGyQWjTO

I turn back to face the ocean. My life hasn't been sunshine and rainbows, not since I turned into a supernatural being. I've had trouble come my way, and I've had to deal with it relentlessly. I didn't have much of a choice then, and I still don't. Even trying to have a normal teenage life has been difficult. Pretending that nothing has been going on with me becomes tedious every day, especially when things happen around you that you can't even explain to your family and friends. A few people know about my supernatural abilities. My cousin, Katy, and my two younger brothers, not to mention a close friend of mine back home.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq050smJ2zd
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPQESqIJ7f
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM91W9bzqz
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkAEDSUhHa
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zoVwCyKnK
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8qsrXb75E
"About what? The shadow monster?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Usually we would wait for it to mind its business in the shadows since it doesn't like the light. However, this one is different. It's clearly set on capturing me. So, I won't have much of a choice but to face it."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpZBSErZwg
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68WFAEOZxo
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQRWWsI8f8
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkqpiixWzn
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPoH39Zaoj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguNSNDoWZ9
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wqwgMEseh
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pDPuZeQOk
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocHF0R8WKI
Lucius now had a serious look on his face. "And when you do, how sure are you that he won't just send another one?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7dyo8CFKG
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDp4mtKYPN
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0z8i8wItV
He's right. The thought of it sent a chill down my spine. There's no point in trying to avoid it. Death wants my head, and this time, he seems to have laid down his trump card. Or is there more up his sleeve? I swear, my life is slowly starting to take a turn for the worse.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ1T8cfPM8

"If that happens, she can come and live on the island," Stella answered as she walked up to us to join us on the balcony.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfsCVIn24b
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfMpIVOOoF
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsWkTJslSv
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1rNpJs0ap
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBSsiCFMOO
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUnqxzky4Z
"You know how the island has an impressive defensive barrier." She came to stand on my other side. "It will be a safe haven for you for a little while until we find a way to get rid of the shadow monster."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDTzoP5KAr
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzl759rh0s
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRMLmG09Y3
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAKcwFQ5tX
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5gAFbhHyz
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0POKZPGxE
"Wait, at your father's residence? No way," I rebuked. "No offence, Lucius; that palace is creepy, along with everyone who lives there. I'm surprised that you're the only one who isn't."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdSWNOioac
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06JSMjmRFy
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vd86kiR9N
"Courtesy of my mum, I guess," he said as he now looked at the ocean, lost in thought. "Besides, the shadow monsters under my father's control won't do anything to you."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkalWKxm7vg
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy2yw6nqbx
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSV7IDd1n9
"Yeah, but what's the assurance that the shadow monster isn't going to come and attack me there? Hell is where those things are strongest, you know."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXC3FnWJXT
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYz28EsUGQ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82jIDAjdaI
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5DKu8VlD4
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQuNQko0sL
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb1FvMvdg7
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9qvcZkzqq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13CFVKl8HI
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpzc01kFco
"I'm not yet ready to go back there yet," I said, my eyes now downcast. "You know how I left. I feel if I do, I might make things worse all over again."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mJ9jXW2IO
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazgSp1dw8h
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOHps2SfHK
Stella put her hand on my shoulder. "You worry too much," she said. "You've no idea how the High Order misses you. Mei and Ryan miss you the most, though they won't admit it."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubiaR5JSqe
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqJclqxGG8
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MKPQv3wlG
I laughed as memories of Mei, Ryan, and the rest of the High Order came to mind. "Trust me; I miss you all a lot. Now isn't the time. I do want to go there, but not because I'm in trouble. I want to go there when I'm ready to, and now doesn't feel like the best time."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxIwgH9OoE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIdOl2yD4O
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i3nPkO0HC
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrqiFnSWdk
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsslNNkZGYH
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvopIQfUqZ
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiG7yED9lL
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gsVSWerst
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcTlv4yq2o
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTUI14YKj8
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXjFU9YaRw
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xmdl2Lkdc
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPFf3MZELd
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKhk7NshiP
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQRkQrHkCj
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtGqIbN8sz
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQqIcXI9pn
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ti1nRf3IP
"Well, I'm still trying to figure something out," I said as I averted my eyes to the clear blue skies. "I not only have the shadow monster, but the Golden Elite on my tail. And it won't be long till they both catch up to me."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fEslgUYoi
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5hLzK1Y0W
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6IKfd9lHQ
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUZPz4WTfP
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWSeb8hOf7
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHQJxLIyrN
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtO71CEwXn
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYo0y4iRu5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75xJH1AwUj
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAV93JNYby
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiAgfR08Y6
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LMaFzTSwb
"They implant GPS tracking devices on their soldiers. I would've removed it before teleporting here, but just like I said before, there's something that I want to figure out first."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjZe8H7qmZ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx7REWL848
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVzWUWVY34
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZxNUFJpDJ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfalPwVZy6
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27LD9uECk6
I take a deep breath, the salty air filling my nose so much that I can taste it on my tongue. "Isn't it weird that the Golden Elite and the shadow monster came after me on the same day and at the same time?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s9SGz4wVT
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxSSCSw8h7
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYhlcyVR38
I looked at the two, and they looked curious and somewhat confused. I should really think over my questions sometimes, but it seems old habits die hard.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78tdZZy68q
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXzIdCkrNe
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTifsWQHyMF
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1G9gyFggr
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKFRidrhnC
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKlrqE5DvE
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXWabbvJVV
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC5L2e6cEq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8io1a6KFSM
"Don't," I said. "It won't take you anywhere. He is just following orders, and he doesn't know what the higher-ups are really planning. For soldiers like him, they are told that supernatural beings are the cause of all destruction in the world, and it's their mission to eradicate all of them."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWcjV9UvGT
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBu26amTAR
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkKKZskpz9
"That's why I hate those guys," said Stella. "They can be so annoying. It's like they really don't know the difference between good and evil."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Kby1jxgE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh4InFQDM1
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv7NNMijXW
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAmabMXMt8
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmsvaUgM3m
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwLK3pl3I4
"But if he won't help us, how are we going to find out?" Lucius asked. "The Golden Elite won't hesitate to have you in their clutches if you were to ask them. And I don't think Death would say anything either."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ud32CYZHG
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLcDhBkrRx
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ve5Dhh11M
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Aq1y7fXJ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA3Bqoeg80
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLYdE0Tg3l
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67jMWDbXfY
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W9jHf9oAv
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS3RIb5uuN
"I didn't want to tell you this, but I feel there's something he's keeping from me. I think he knows why all of this is happening."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnLBszsX23
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jvvIspxHW
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLbfv1hOyb
"Then we better ask him," said Stella. "And we better go check on that Golden Elite friend of yours. Now that I think of it, I shouldn't have left him alone with Lucifer."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIbxRAnkOs
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoOEgt0Bxj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrbFbD2lu8
I quickly turned around to go back into the hall when, all of a sudden, my hairs at the back of my head were raised, stopping me in my tracks. I quickly turned back to the open balcony, where Stella and Lucius remained standing.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59qHx30ufE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUrlJjNS1x
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JAItezD7i

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zNcs6jqA4
Before they could react, a strong gush of wind came from the beach, knocking Stella and Lucius to the side. I, on the other hand, fell backwards to the floor. Before I could do anything, I felt something tight wrap around my throat like a thick rope, pinning me to the floor. I scratched at it, trying to get it loose.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEI3lbMAfC

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMmoPVshj6
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFy6Y9Vji5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhdQP3XRuI
My eyes widened with fright as I saw staring down at me the cold, dark eyes of a supernatural being I considered one of my biggest menaces. Aside from Death, of course.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfzFunTIPT
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ656XlzVCz0
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfb6Igjrur
I struggled as I felt the rope around my neck tighten. I was almost out of breath as I tried to loosen it. That's just how he operates. He can tie anyone down with his black tentacles that he can summon from anywhere when they least expect it and kill them on the spot if he wants to.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgzjeqEHnJ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPqmltdS9O
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUs1kZZ0Ky
"Oh, Diana," he said in a singsong voice as he knelt down on one knee, still with his dark, cold eyes fixed on me. "It's been so long, hasn't it? And of all places, you end up showing yourself out here."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuYQjgKmYW
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2f8Pa6xzx
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PfgOEn4P9
He stretched out his hand to touch my face, and I could feel the cold silver rings he wore around his fingers pierce me like needles. I tried to flinch, but I couldn't.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHGdXKNMcu
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPJJEzMBbU
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWdcNoVWGh
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb5lswVXDH

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2mbtKUAiR
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3IOU8sG8e

I kicked and trashed my legs around, wishing for the chance to kick him. There's only one way I'm going to get out of this.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31p3yAbOZn
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9elq6I2d8
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx1cHmgu1K
"Diana?" I hear Lucius call out to me, sounding a little groggy. I can't see him from where I lie, but I knew he wasn't going to like what he was going to see.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6GF7pXpMm

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLLbakiEUH
My left hand, holding the black tentacle around my neck, instantly lit up in flames. I was careful not to burn my skin. The tentacle burned in an instant, and before the person on top of me could react, I held the collar of his black leather jacket and brought him closer to my head, making hard contact with his nose. Then I quickly tossed him aside, and he flew, hitting his back first onto the wall.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR4mObKK4X
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb27aQThPJ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV5pvskIpa
I quickly got up from the floor, but he was quicker than I was, and we stood there looking at each other. He had his hand on his nose, checking to see if he was bleeding. Luckily enough, he wasn't. My left hand was still dancing in flames, ready for his attack.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iBdAm0vMG

I turned to see Lucius look at his older brother in bewilderment. Even when I didn't show it, I was just as surprised as Lucius at first.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDFHq2t6Ky
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbQbU3FdFJ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYHg85nmQF
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL0P4jPH1Z
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR08HvWEb0
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIBlJawXKt
"Brother?" Stella asked as she came into view on the balcony. She was holding her left shoulder since she was also pushed aside when Lucero flew in. Lucero really did know how to make an entrance.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZGKJyRU06
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFk0oCAbzc

His wavy black hair that reached his shoulders flew in the air as he turned his head to look at me. Anyone would've passed him as a celebrity model with his chiselled cheekbones and broad jawline. As cold and dark as his eyes were, anyone would find them mesmerizing. It's usually how he catches his prey—his eyes. He could lure you into doing anything he wanted, even with immortals. If you're strong enough to fight his quest for control, then well and good. If not, you're like a fish on a hook, and you'll need a miracle to break through his spell.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKfVGbPy88

"It's funny how Diana can put up with you, Lucius," said Lucero as he put a hand in the pocket of his black jeans. "You're so annoying."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDg855n61r

"It's why I only wanted to grab you and leave." Lucero took a step closer towards Lucius and me. "But I didn't realize that seeing you after such a long time would make me pause for a bit and slip up."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuveUo7TQD0

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjs1ZRfTp7
"Oh, no, she doesn't," said Lucifer as he surpassed Lucius and me. "Diana is my guest, and you're uninvited. As soon as you entered my territory, I would've had you captured and locked up. But out of courtesy, I didn't, so I'm kindly asking you to leave."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZfLPPuKM5

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigvjof5BLI
I noticed Stella looked a little confused by that last statement. That's because she didn't know what Lucero was capable of. Most of us supernatural beings have common abilities like strength and speed. But there are those with so much skill and precision that they can surpass mere supernatural beings. Lucero's speed is like nothing I've ever seen. I may be on par with him, but it always felt like he was one step ahead.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM1Iflrzxv

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH6Azifg7V
"You aren’t protecting me if I continue to run. I need to face the problem. If you must know, I've got a shadow monster after me, and I don’t think wherever you take me is going to protect me from it. That’s if there is always daylight.

Bingo. He does know what’s going on because he doesn’t look the least bit surprised that a shadow monster and the Golden Elite are after me. I thought I would be able to ask Lucifer why all this was happening. Lucero seems like he could, but he can be difficult. I look up at Lucius, and I start to wonder if his coming to see me was nothing but a coincidence and not because he thought the same as Lucero. He did look a little perplexed when I brought up the issue before Lucero suddenly appeared. However, you can never know.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDk3lolrXh

"No one is fighting in my house!" Lucifer’s booming voice shook the whole house. "Are you crazy? Diana is already bringing an army, and you want chaos in my own house? You can go outside if you want.

"Then this house will just have to burn," I said, extinguishing the flames on my hands. "Lucius is right. Lucero isn’t going to budge so easily, and I’m not going to go with him if he is going to lock me up like he did last time. If we have to reason here, he can help me out by staying to figure out how to handle what’s out there."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P91UMbYoD

Lucero scoffed. "That you are scum through and through," he said. Lucifer hissed at him. "I hate to admit it, but Lucius is right. I’m not going anywhere without Diana.

"Well, true," he said as I noticed him raise an eyebrow. "But you had gone quiet for a while; a lot of people thought you were dead or had moved on to the other world. Your aura is different, too.

Lucifer opened the door to the study, and we all walked in. My eyes quickly searched for Mutale, whom we had left behind sitting on the same couch. Aside from his broken leg, he was perfectly fine. Lucifer didn't do anything sinister to him after all.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pYN5bL7Vw

"Who is this?" Lucero asked, looking at Mutale. The look on his face could tell that he recognized him through the black outfit that he wore. "You’re a Golden Elite soldier. How are you still alive?"

"So whatever the case, they will need you alive," said Lucifer, looking at me. "What do you really plan to do exactly?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxKJsMk1p

"If you don’t mind," I give Lucifer a look. "There’s something that has been bothering me since I came here, and I just happened to have told Stella and Lucius by the balcony before Lucero came in."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoWHHPNpdh

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ixj345R5X
Silence befell the room. It felt like no one was willing to speak, as I felt their eyes on me. Lucifer had an eyebrow raised, and the smile on his face showed that he had a feeling of what was coming.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZn0hpEkus

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16roV92905
"You were always a curious living thing," he said as he leaned back on his chair. "I have a feeling, though, that it’s a question I would find rather uncomfortable."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTZpzoZxRL

"My life depends on it. What’s so important today that I have the Golden Elite and that shadow monster after me? Something is up, and I know you know a lot more than you’re saying."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uu7DjNpyK
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz95zWfDUQe
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA8FaIJUE0
Lucifer smiled this time, and that left me wondering if he was going to say anything. Instead, he looks behind me. Lucero and Lucius were the only people who remained standing. I had a funny feeling that he wasn’t just looking at Lucero, but Lucius too.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcRVTENn4u
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T2DhnAZpZ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfGrhFfhss
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqXeBXfPb9
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xs8VjoKAK
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EiAKQHgUh
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBBP1PqslE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU77yiJ60in
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ym7PaR7JG
Lucifer smirked. "But you so happened to show up at her doorstep to take her far away from the shadow monster and the Golden Elite. Can you explain that?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AGE11imUE
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg87cmy1I9r
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH71g7CyDmX
I turned to look at Lucius, and I found him looking down at me. He opened his mouth to try to say something, but no words came out. Could it be that he knows and has been lying to me?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Vq8lSfRW

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzIbxIb7wW
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gOjXAK5YM
"I’m only going to say this," he started to say. "The only reason I came is that somebody tipped me off that something bad was going to happen to you. And I know no one has known about your whereabouts till now, but this person did."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNfRvYJiVp
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0JnVRrTZy
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oMj55W5Bs
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4sw9fim5Q
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDcrIR9t6Y
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfyKkRsY5g
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTpIrNjr5a
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN4xBbHbQu
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTxQc20zmY
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ397g7fj5w
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZrxIeA6nP
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJvlZ0SgfB
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKcHND590k
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4x0TNG1ya
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRXgRtozpi
"Well, I can assure you that no one can come into this territory uninvited," said Lucifer. "That’s if they aren’t as stupid as Lucero."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMclNVk4btD
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI177T17xAN
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEDWzYo3Jr

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH2ztSg064
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFV8DysqRk
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57y7dghbrk
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Xfukba9B
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJE2B8JsMt
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVraJnKAhI
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ46qQdISue
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSR6hIqND9
"Same here," said Lucero.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtam28xnOg
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9E77c88bq
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYR6Hhv7xK
My eyes start to fly around the room as though looking for something that isn’t there. This doesn’t look good. How could the person have known where I was to begin with? And if they had known, why wait all this time?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt9Su44iNA
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7E8VF2unx
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZmz2TnjLn
I felt like my head was going to burst. There's so much to take care of all at once, and now there's someone out there who might be a threat. Why send Lucius and Lucero to me? And who else will they be sending my way? Will they be friends or foes? Could it be that the same person might have told the Golden Elite about my location?404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp01EZKZ2e

"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTBkmzdhkL
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnREvZARq1i
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl4w33XjSE
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFboqOqLZa5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo81Ao4KbZO
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK7Sj8vmwN

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9VdNhh53k
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnvqqirguY
I put my hands on the table to look straight into his eyes. "Because I know you know," I said. "You know why all this is happening. And you're afraid to tell me because I might find out something about myself that I know nothing about, isn't it?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PVwAYeWaz
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q6pr82qOP
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLykF4o0udb
Lucifer and I continued to look at each other for what felt like an eternity. I wanted to break eye contact with him, but I had to show that I was serious. Just now, he was trying to divert my attention elsewhere to his sons, and he planned it carefully. Did he somehow know about the person who tipped them off? And that mentioning this will draw my attention away from the question? He might be the devil, but somehow he seems more like an all-knowing being when you least expect it.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDZ5Vd4Hwv

He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtz2OHkjKv

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlelOOlT4l
"Being smart isn’t going to help me get out of this situation if you aren’t going to tell me what I need to know," I said. "What is going on?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbBXCmtjG7
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX8lTpkBYj
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcoGSQp7la
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoAdr0csPd
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHKS05SQ5T

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVF043CiTi
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUijQJ3e6u
Here we go again. The ‘I am special’ speech that I have always hated. Stella and the others at Butterfly Island have given me such speeches before. I wish someone could tell me, but time is running out. The Golden Elite could be outside the barrier of the Devil’s territory right now, and there’s no telling what they are going to do.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKo9vemkYP
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxLO2PSYXl
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7WzTpsChT
"Diana, we aren’t going anywhere with this," said Stella as she came to stand right beside me and hold my shoulder. "We can figure that out later. We better prepare a plan to face the Golden Elite if they attack."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxPaeH4kNT
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbnGjlE7Ic
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySBcDsSOg1
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sLze8x881
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhHNSeF6N7
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnJnBp8mR6
I lowered my head and sighed. They were right. If I had it in me, I was going to give Lucifer a piece of my mind. But I can’t since I’m in his territory, and that would only attract unwanted attention elsewhere. I straighten up and look at Lucifer.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaHyoJOvau
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S4J2tAjKS
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQcn31iYM
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGulQIGAeAv
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TBtJLzNXB
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOkhMroc6v
Lucifer scoffed. "You keep asking the same question, Diana," he said. "But haven’t you realized that the only reason you’ve never gotten the answer you're looking for is because you keep asking the wrong people?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlR1ME5GHZ
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNLA0BHgXU
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg93mg4Iea0
My eyes widened. Isn't he the right person to ask? Now isn’t the time to think about who would be willing to give me the answers I so desperately need. I have to plan to prepare for the worst right now.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z5b1fweS8

I turn away from him. "Let’s get to planning," I said, shaking off the uneasy feeling I had. I turn to Mutale. "You are going to help us."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ1hApnMXu
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpaoukYHUs

404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY4IOfnE52
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW1mTsA1ur
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dtJ6N0FNE

Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNPLhcnCpa
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiuS1UHzio
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X7hp5oDKH
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5wETzNEi5

"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pl72B9Pm5
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOoDDmFUOy
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1rpYAlyQ0
"Stop joking around, dad," said Lucius. "A war is the last thing we need, and you don’t want it to begin in your backyard."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLMpimapnB

I felt Lucifer’s eyes at the back of my head as I turned back around to face the others. I had joked about the Golden Elite starting a war earlier. Now that Lucifer mentions it, a chill runs down my spine. There's no hiding from it.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyyTAKJSRn
