369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPX8LhGkX
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xTs210CGi

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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyCwfILPFZ

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKRaA851i2
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1zPheDEwV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldZ1F9gG6U
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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIP1xanOu7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg72hOnrxN3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIn6YGg08k
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb0bB45hcw
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk06wdiD9f
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7JhWONjkw
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QMy1KXhnd
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucV5irdqkI
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5NEFKvBDg
"Aren't you scared?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hAG7MeiMH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWSAaox7vU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJsxGfaMSP
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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVBOcDUnLR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR1Qo68zNn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIq72dpm02
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxWb9CdA6q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGuMsYeJEi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0tM0CflXm
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrGoiAZx1d
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfSjJpPQCd
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOUyB1HmnE
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk32zzgN5U
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI9VGXiJzc
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTm4JGwbVm
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzklSPbvZV8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTYM8iVWGl
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoz7eWGjgN
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDTpn8mfc7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTNFS02BKd
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HxHmEo5vF
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?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmyqbKKoo7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYEuCtzxD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUqzgalheC
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2iEWxMiwR

"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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YvmypIPfy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFP5RDidID
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBh4mZ5ahT
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3dgSzK43r
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAYlbFwx1p
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4mntFRjM0
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WRaOOJmbL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvSvgFvFD5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUefxvmfZpf
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lPuk5fKvf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK74wS8GRke
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8QQrgduJR
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGCVwsfTIO
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAsma4zAIE
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqzJzSI7yv
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrG0dZe546
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lHL1J1KBk
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKUjZY9jnI
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgJEiXqjDo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEtdqL75c8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBexJRUsSy3
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vYLR8lraC
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnRio5DAIS
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGTf03IOwV
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EvIO3E7Gg
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LtmFiB1zl
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqnYHzlGOk
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmsPRXl92C
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr4nrInKFe
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDL0H7Aqsy
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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtTnBVTjZG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGMEUHrlII
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnReljMaNtx
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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGVC067PPi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxnbmOUuuH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGQNfkMQUr
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsaZ1D5OzV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpIgohBE8w
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKdIIof2MO
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5njvgyUIU2
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeFbGY6FKb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosCSbAdAPw
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRdSeuWKVL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1SauHGEaw
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYFsDbFMP6
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMkN4WSxyN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRuRd8BAw8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGZLbzHRwQ
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdibGhwt5o
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdul2f5s4SD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs9d3iQpTO
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWHUwJqo9q
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TMmFokGy2
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR1V3y5Ymi
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FBD0zYfCa
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKbFVQS78H
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsry4K8M6s
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V8k2qJhog
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk8GbtsJo4
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5map1P4zLC
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbmIqdrdGZ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ny3QfGH8y
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLAYWLWeUc
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB80c907pj
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wvGWpyEKa
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQH3GEYte4
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0s9BsQrsp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsif9MOH0P7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMAwg18Enz
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?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif3NM5iqpM
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1g3q4jrwt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiIhdHfMMs
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZvqhzgNu
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRQAAildmJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eofTSoI37
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoYMYskyf2
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJi5taKvnr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi2kAzvCVU
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD2flXYQd4
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFZjQuOof0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5knZr7st5
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZRakcU6bD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLWbklbNCo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrCLYAbtuC
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rafu32Y5L
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf5o4h56mX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthy4dz7GQW
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44D9kUNhKL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKRrSkvC0r
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ig0HufBu
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Qh4U9ha5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlfuBVB2Ao
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi3mlp7dQT
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODHOsPw0hl
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWETeqX0HjE
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyIgtLwqqN
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3nejZ2rgj
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CzYAsGa98
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpQpPabj17
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwDSJH9TXW
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCY91ki40k
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj4XX5z0VI
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBtaHIj29y
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEOyHmONDR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuCRdCTJmg
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa9fQjjPtL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAsHI41ijm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnPisXG9m5

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2nr35qiN0
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9axDtqdYv

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRkxy3ZYS9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhkPRtzlkI
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIBAvuCRBS
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQHsVOtZeJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKLlKQRvOW
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBE0D0ZVsq
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwyivz3Qh5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaRTpNMYxM
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV8gpYXLfW
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu24fJVj6wy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4a8g8A9tU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj8fL4oFRC
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUIkhrrDbk
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJmqa8Qa1A
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw86ye308xp
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgqFhbbJJ1
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs80xiLtvhP
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXZ1DB5SwU
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGNyO7l642
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8pWNkOwbM
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPPf5HYEHP

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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSmVbXnZ8p
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkdboG8ZoY
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTRMCMp5fJ
"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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDoZw2uK5c
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvArq6FCWB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZLkITZOpz
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1N5G67DEi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLQ3r3Xiph
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCX0Nr3Gef
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXyWlHkvpy

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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HNXXLp2mJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRhq0w8KzR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWDi0z4vCQ
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4BWFQhneX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LbRz1oCl9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIBMC091mD
"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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu7tiU9rh5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskcDRiIzPr

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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFbsDYZ80y

"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup9MH5fw9p

I turned to look at Stella, and just by the look in her eyes, I could tell that she had been captured by Lucero's charm. She looked dreamily at him.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLW67peslm

"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ZR2X0lOk

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBQdMAQFmF
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLiI5HOb0I
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY7vxLoEOz

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcuqWulEtT
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccYlcItvKZ

"I'm not leaving without Diana," said Lucero, standing his ground. His eyes found mine, and he winked. I blushed and furrowed my eyebrows at the same time. It's funny that he had such an effect on me.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsnN0gVBLI

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipx7uif7W9
"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.

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ778ElrGaUq
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPqxmO6Tok

"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdmfDpyk2B

"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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoHzvXb5Gl

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4soQr8otR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkq2pkHC8c
"So whatever the case, they will need you alive," said Lucifer, looking at me. "What do you really plan to do exactly?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKLaakBosD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90XdByHymk
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQYdeL4MGM
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWTtI76tQA
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh93mgvVNeD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzo6XR1QWQ
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPRoW59XyF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a8Kv7VKoY
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpnS8x8hkA
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstbqEWVHxv
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8c87844eF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A4t58mP8b
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5En1VzTxrR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SWWVTvNor
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe2G08rW3V
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOBL2Y7XtI
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsX4bZ5hH0
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPKfVPOfoQ
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiMY6pVGtT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHgHHp3o3h
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sBbgBAdmT
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGqLDxYi2P
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gEnmFubkc
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3YksIsa4U
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?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxi6Ou4XIF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU21tq8U2ZG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zj7fRVfO1
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?369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3uo7nugOr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtJFa0nX7F
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BPT9LvBxM
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jWe7grOh4
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVbKp3yt9l
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43WfuY0EQj
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPPoLlaAX9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ZsfyaCyD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0209pt8l6
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtjemfQBjA
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdUBhsdbVo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIPaf6GPSr
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PeBP2eXAh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdLRwZUe9o
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xolwGNqCM
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1NOJUgjVX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBvnneHXXj
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6farQv3Wjd
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1QTQUSc5A
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuXgSBjEr8
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQuGJTECqB
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dOavH4PJn
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLJX6ys3ps
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGa2RcKOoU
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NeGgqeo9l
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAOUw1myEb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzSlk0swsi
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW4oRjAWRH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkqqPiQ3hi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXNyk9H9sV
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelXUyxQuEH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85BW2a91UN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDVwUOP1nl
"Same here," said Lucero.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CniBm2PSD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ1Y7n0Mge
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMja9qaL1Yc
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?369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwD6ngZy3o
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnrm4t0Ocr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcbIUa8EZx
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?369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SFBcQYNos
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMiEPWpdFU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9lSHsdIDO
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6SVUbRRKt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85gIHcZBae
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgc02j1ODQ
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOlUSRCRLb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEV87dlBNV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiHP5AetU8
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq1KQo7rSl
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b8nvNsHLB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEmQ2nSWJ6
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?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGWCpWgIbB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf1Cx4S6Iy
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm7yUhvctl
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rsNBWGcfh
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvPAHpdOsM
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcuefESWLy
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzixQ2PBKi5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJmsDXC53k
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4GyHbIAwb
"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?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HIOPwRDaN
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE5MOSvw4n
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6IeEdVy9o
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRsdxwHeah
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGVJXZMF7W
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLoOz2vsdV

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWlFoJXbIH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLS25AcBDq
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvez76WR4GU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHfPIlfMW9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK9RIl6pAX
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92J22006DK
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCzRdgAnFQ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ijg35Abp
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0KqDOvvaP
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFmXNyNkSV
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyimI49aanU
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloYNzdZ6jA
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UVuQoQKhF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMmrKV2MR4
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6nIuIHexD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnAheFGvFz
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIQ2Ti98ny
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?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMeVKYdUiM
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRmtOhwjyb
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAWLGPEOCn
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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tFLkuMvrp
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYiN3HY5rf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkyZ6yPyaN
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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY5sgZG8gX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxTKzdBMjI

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxgSeJNpzp
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1I56NbMFx
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AIekRUXBP
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcw4xLfksD
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMObhZ9aQF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxzZKCNp6V
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEpyNFiIJc
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXnc1kZfhX

"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuR9Rdl4RD
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aRUC7G1Jo
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ5PUENQA1
"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."369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pjjjk70Vh

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.369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqgvu1Idzw
