635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu6VA1AFPa
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaUU0MnQbb
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOrDyXA5Y

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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEdgf2KYgT

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7R2LjsPle
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7S4EOIBMQ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD4guvbZy4
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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvhnyTnIDc
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw698BxvwPo
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll0yzyobd3
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsNFiBMZdV
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVkGezoX2O
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sqsC6U6JK
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNdWA3i9WF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlAQZoIhNR

"Aren't you scared?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KsOSmRzJl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMlrZCNQAd
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeKoPBQeLN
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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WTvnc8O70
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDsKBmhW1P
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7f35XeuaV
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1LmOi7jTu
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoZh3rOuM0
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaVJ8QoKyR
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDWe6RE1L5
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb24m3Kbu6F
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuwiG8KFs5
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK5kwfoYag
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL0Gn7SPnf
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrgAXBq0ye
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXvCxDJKrh
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbqxLvEgHW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSJAUVOwEs
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd8088aKbZ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXe5pWptLL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm72LLoFLTn
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?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisgG3QUUpT
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh6SR7llrh
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxvmtNZ4eF
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bOGwyzBZO

"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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLTIfgCWIC
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvlMT5mCNL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2yTh9Vffi
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7fh6ugOu6
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl2iHHlDUx
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpPEQ9aSka
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhONKzEj2w
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBvgOhFlrv
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYBXBVKcr9
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSGWthUU01

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiYEYerqPD
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJpqKM2e6i
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQljnwpIeQ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9VRp6xmz6
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwqEDPENQm
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbRpeuQwAy
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacRPuYJW52
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0oMSJMtWN
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4kpAScABd
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzaIQmPXYl
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb3LH17APv
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OyxOzZdMG
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR1llWqnp1
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrNIjaqoBJ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTMAHC6Ils
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73SWIvLUd1
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwrnawWeLZ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA51VfZVle3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhF7lFJAhx
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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfpaa19p4Y
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kaq5w2rF5
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TRA6ZWV0L
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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy7yrrk6VP
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujSsVBtc3t
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAD2AfNZHY
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrEdGMsA5o
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpeSHjtCr4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSTYU0vcVn
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2PQNpZ7IU
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr99QhBul3H
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEho4mBHhzA
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EedPiKnWp
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWmvpdrVzb
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHadqDQtNy
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQCmBVfxWe
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASscSTfAEZ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12tCLBhKQf
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaapRNk5HJ2
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgZ5URoxlp
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ItOygSJv2
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGp8WsHvpn
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdroNUfnClo
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ7P00TWLi
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVqhSsS1rL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQPDX38mfq
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSGweZ3off
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlsacuuhf8
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmnC1dzwrI
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0ikYoOlW6
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVcYhkUdjs
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F77AH1nsS
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ukCn295D
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfi1NNP1Qr
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLwioj2TkE
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbWuPeNXD4
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATtMehOLEd
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7sdsbAS7c
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKU9sBWOKF
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?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj9BR7x60J
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39uYro92In
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMqGHpTxdz
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMRL6R2RKI
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUkGFzKaCR
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLju7wvbdq
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBRGJlIjIz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb3mc9ZEot
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wv6BFRxjW
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXtiUKFA0S
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBnB36EOb9
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwLRvzGuPz
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXpyu804l
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3uf1FMVic
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISVrDRf4ml
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpgTCFH6mt
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8lfQkFvVz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZuLRVqeDA
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb09TFZ6Exz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkUWgf5bWz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXm2AJnDXF
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x1Zab0Uya
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwT6hAeu1w
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JErYDjJvh
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AhDXIlX7i
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zAwourtb4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNbA29YNgD
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYvHF4rM6G
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5IDfZRpsm
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTVlZvr6GT
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RbrtcfVIo
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbM4VMTYPp
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mL141Y6A3
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwOZx3RXrZ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgxpTkvM5O
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9XyvFUdi0
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZB1j7I13k
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ybojyuaHN
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdKppGL4EG

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK96InA1ju5
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnERRqvpjb2
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxB6GZTFnH
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GFHobWKHS

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGlSCNGAr
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y7V3SLgKe
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtK7hQlPvH
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksUHXeABST
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyk5YWWXwH
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHGdhRzbVv
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuk9oFP7nk
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacXJnUgG5h
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlNQ88v40J
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmOg8c0Ojo
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0zLFPI5fz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWYCFHdQdW
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrZCJMUEV
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwd7r8Mxm2
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL3RowMSGA
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTUQkca7Pk
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wFEOH1kbm
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Tx8sHbPi3
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmDu5qyCpr
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48cTdBA9yC
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rWduamYKg

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoFq3YwIa7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KZvcqV4oB
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCBIH27aRh
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFXLM1yrXB
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zdwxeHzrU
"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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe4La3CeBz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYdYD2tYsq

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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclCv5PAHi7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8HAvBjn5b
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNGdz72GpD
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWwsQjwH6i

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclz46xTf5i
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3iUoEAnsb
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qyGgFi1H4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Hkfufban
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjDgJbw6K5
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1g8HYWLoo

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqiE1AXtak
"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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaCvWyzco3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZOQmnvR6g
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC78LC0xk5

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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP6lpblSVP

"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIlbPBbVMb

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8dUsYMX35
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0etVtYwvZn
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JipbtKJAs

"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjaPlVFszM

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde2SjKOwhZ
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMyDj8J63i

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhENTl1hphD
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW6oUz5xEZ
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Gbu7ySbo

"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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi8WHL1kdu

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC0VBFeKp5
"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.

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L5BYFaaFJ
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14wFBGjNjF

"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.

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZdVOS15cT

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SlYGgobXo

"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevMRzVgNkC

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. And since I care about her so much, I would rather be here protecting her." He looked at me. "After this, you and I should get on an island together.

Lucifer started to lead the way back to his study. I just hope Mutale is alright in there. Lucifer is known for torturing Golden Elite soldiers for pleasure. However, I had a feeling I was just overthinking things.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2uYJSk8l0

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOQGQd1nQ0
"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. It’s not like it was before. Did you do something to yourself?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ElM90EUCZ

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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzecVtbkJo

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BqLHhOMzZ
"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?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsgWyjJeo4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgKeqWRAaS
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqHiACvjp6
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7h09dNPba
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL8U2cmGcy
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuQTuurirl
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5RVI5y67i
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5rRbA7Yii
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhc1vJeDoH
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqgVppxnWR
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0GKjEck8U
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR6JDcXpdz
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdctFGwNFRX
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd23nMrpQuF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnerr8hREDF
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQZvOGz3Zq
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKbE9kwBht
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3jGWAniWB
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn8xEZlkR7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fnKM4ayX9
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo9kkgwMO8
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpad6te2rG8
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAGDg619Fk
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKb4G9br8Z
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?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt56EFhHXeT
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hfosAXkWL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa33J8OWa6
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?635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpStgvusTb
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A20ZCd26M
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWU06hF1vR
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkcHtyFv4J
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fvCWNOJW7
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CwdhZxFjr
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWojqHfX1x3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWqGt96rpH
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QuCrfP60V
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWrjdFNqrL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9FK9MsVzw
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T6xFf7bZD
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHklMR5mVU
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qgPskNRhU
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QInIOSefo
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UCi0n3NFN
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WGzDGL0NX
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn02JtPIVw
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccrZRq3qRw
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCaiFLjMEm
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhO7vTjMls
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyUebAQod0
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBvWOW5Bg6
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JrPNzuDfw
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjdNhlkAId
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtySQlapsl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC3aPFPQX2
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmQWSXomOz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOx9Zfbk79
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok6xjJnwwj
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUUMOqwQi3
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlps4z8vyz
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxssn7fNVbU
"Same here," said Lucero.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIzS2B2Kzg
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGHZHR7MCj
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV39BokUQFJ
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?635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lfqc5vIGW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIUnOx93Bg
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxstVJqGzVF
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?635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqON6dRHY6
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGFepj8EXI
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX2QUUhuoE
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ESDaxDCb4
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ErP2d7FJl
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcefePFd6Z
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwU6jyibfc
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkGteTr24l
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLElAWWvO9E
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WOX3ESed2
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk67CorMtd
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRhE1JPPjS
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?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ8HFGmH3S
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4XnfcGQeW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ZmfM8DmZ
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJVmyLGtFS
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB20QIlxY2
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWAGYr9n69
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxgQ13k4v5
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz10K7uke4r
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6FfmcETa2
"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?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxa353k6Rh
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenr1eoA7xF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IZJVdzXM3
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vyuFUVfbe
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFRPTrL77s
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCDl7WI7xq
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH6yqKPgSv

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9MakmgJTu
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQwdi7u3s0
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD7jorMzCk
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QEQByAcDL
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj4mS8ZEC9
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJDW57rVL2
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElI8HdSzJH
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLuT17qpWR
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmODioJdUF
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjGEbXHI3e
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYfjbBPyVN
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAhb8oy2hZ
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXeGXy74yp
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslFs6XqhBR
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO7E2PV5zq
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0i6UvL1d8
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBwSrynO0r
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?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPoTVMvere
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H3xCxTz4v
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PIJtCJH1K
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQMIkCK9mW
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PhihoNQ6q

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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvacJEFvMys
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFF1fLpOP8

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZal9urs1N
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnELddsbY3B
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjcmVKrOng
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF2ozdxg1u
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ClS2arf9B
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUkDSMCiim
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzhbtPig8t
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UiRx40A8d
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKllnLdYBFu
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrjNXHRdju

"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVIagIBFmx
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnkHJP0kP9
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8123qH4Va
"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."635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW4H3tWFvI
635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMa2wdfQ2I

635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE24j55iva
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.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdPjvLcFlK
