374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZSealTsX9
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXPibGJlCL

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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHwuodLytJ

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YBGxgvQER
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f3W8GG1iA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z3ePJzCz2
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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRUBPAnLnf
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrSvw249TN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZC0O1LFKp
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb58IfxVKm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgijPMvSPYG
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaoprWk9ME
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOGP1hUhq2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TOIGxv0jy

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGd4WQBHpX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzre7MqnQZZ
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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad6LLcoCNS

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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFtRr8s2jv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJPZ3t6l70
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXP8aDd9f8
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza7sUNFcHY
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGwKQs0uYs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuWQu3tXbZ
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FscwSUKQY
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAt71ALZll
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjV1kNITVD
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KXLnaURch
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzREs2tMfdo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNyFoYBlLs
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHb8RTkVZa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV74y9dskL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHQaAR8FyL
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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhQA9BDyRc
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokH9Hl6eJ1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLA44vHMRT
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBYBDA7wzL

"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsHgEJP032
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAbywkng16
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrlJqaPuDg
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb4cS9fSNN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjZa8jH8aC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJaVcoe0q
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWDx7Of2ri
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoCCuo7DDA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59NKC1qCua
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27NJUGLVwF
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBU209OFpy
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CwWCVSKoQ
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaNaxFriAE
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGWLqk1W19
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjyxVlpqDJ
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Hy4GcqjA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qCLkqcQ54
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFYFR4O2R9
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp24FOYkJ2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMSEnphMAQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPds96IJUil
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdiAkmNCih
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg02SP3ORmc
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87sjaMYbqP
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5KWCGrdNF
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCjHSpChFd
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLbQwZFhFH
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCw3G25040
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ci39l8945
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6kGflEuBI
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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWc8ccDlvb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpokOI8XYm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr5IoAODYh
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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCoTd210Xa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUMrz7bYeI
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUOwJ0AG0P
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBUxJHXxTV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg37hIxsVb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITSq00TtGP
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIx6KVQfNC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnpHJWUlEA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRvU5fMLuj
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsQr87TD7s
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulz4H7Ps91
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7IFwrsrjz
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZfkrSKNCh
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ2YKTj4pt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDRHvhgdV0
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYvYzCmnEW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKhv4v5wBt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9YOwISO1S
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJkKmEZ8ps
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzorL9fPCnS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmadflJYte
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwvKdtgWYT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueWMp79MQ4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPuP7v3pwL
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80P36dG063
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVNeNxNIlI
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23feozHTll
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYXDscl5Z5
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAWXJ22QdT
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtGRIUTcH8
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sQopYXwpg
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytZSrktkbi
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiB9Qqw10c
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszeRbvPSRl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzTxdgk38x
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8N9waywl
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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmeuAUwWwH
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu2zwhuwcs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV8KGnSJuZ
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYJmGXvrCv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ44ybiRcx
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDTfTwcLMN
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUAKZhsHqw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIjxOZUWCM
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgJd8kSseb
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQ9wxjP6U
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0FazhpSsh
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV1lrwbx6P
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu8KSDPXvp
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKRAK9ARCy
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF6CRZRRvc
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iJRVJArCN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG4hCsaNe3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDqBttWAdZ
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx2IBhVIkm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0GPe66TIl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVAMjIZUoc
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumVLWwq30o
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CzAS8oJJ8
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVcqCqX472
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6TbBqUmKN
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVYpXmtG20
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5GbxPSLjH
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VuwnhaFkb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ6QKK0GqH
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWn0hl0kW2
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWBt6lemwn
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EGO9jRyme
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zOObviYkF
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5El49aoPw
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl4rE4TA7X
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmv6Xgd63S
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVAAtR0rLB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS0xBc3w4D
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT4ER0ELJS

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PULWsKNBm
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CT5ZsyDL0

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQb1DF44U2
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7D9LxfKfF
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sn90uSoOi
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKt1uafkZu
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgiJsodIPh
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hJoebLSlF
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd1Vp1lMkb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W6kKWLdW5
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7C89Mswp1
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEmonFiM6m
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14MXu0ldPv
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXVnMoIn58
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6BCIJz4s
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw4yD4zURr
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqfseoLSDt
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaEY6rJA2b
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NhFyrTrH7
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46QZoUtG0l
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nv0guh1vH
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDutxuZzmoj
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXouQ17hg3S

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRHYf3XeU9
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8mNT6dkW8
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2uuwBYamg
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmah1T1qDQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuTlS8iPAz
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfxCOIKvSM

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSH5FmXGIX
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJTg51VGnl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3WACVFpv1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQRYHuTkFX
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm9pNe8RkQ

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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pb5jAYzro
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQRwMTpjB6
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrv29LIF48
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDrhKCLQpK
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdpEXZJMM1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BOZyximp5
"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFr9OKb0JM
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8DRNQ494Y
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ0xh2frjC

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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH0nqOxTn5

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bB1MvUbfe
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzbQWJyxEd

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJGJpOeTxE
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWDD3yZ1jI

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzDEeFriqt
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzaSyiloXt
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YezWO8rvf

"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCKI96M4LZ

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJYc6yqtKy
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoJ6bQWzOO

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8nunK2bPB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnuHTIl4V6
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzJSpmfxTJ

"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2YVxN52Ff

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQz0S8HvYY
"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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRuJAl0lM1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0cUKlEDLz
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVDd0lhFyA

"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.

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz5GNzrz8u
"If I’m soft, then you should've just dragged her out of here in one fell swoop," said Lucifer. "But just like any mortal man, you’re quickly led by what’s in your pants."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp8s3zFbNn

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4o7vgE33z

"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4g0RTPxIJ

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.

"Now that we’ve reached an agreement," I quickly cut in before Lucifer would say something vulgar, "why don’t we all go to the study and work out a plan? The last thing I need is for me to create a war with the Golden Elite on this beach."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5qUFKYFKb

"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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmRGLN5lqu

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCkXURgXnG
"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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1zwJDReUf

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFy2nlHVWW
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx7VNKzq5S
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dn9O0Kx5s
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWglsb1DSj
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliPgmGNYwJ

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf8CmCSsi1
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiEtPcccqJ

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSZPJbqabe
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtGmJlPr0M
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ563TpBGGOP
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtflcwPTFYQ
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL6RSheTGl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRUNUfArRo
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimlbyd3dFa
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4gjWVtH7d
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV97wNcHGiS
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDfmcmsqhL
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x70m9bsat
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd2ljOGGF3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFUqQL8MD6
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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWCLr8d6TL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxibLW41gP4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl7M5mgyfY
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?374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJB5pqthm4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9dNpUcHdO
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfa8m7P4Jc
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsffbWky6b
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pyk7voVL3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyv48q7Ao7
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq1TCJwo7U
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae7ZFEYp28
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVstYvijFsw
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmdV5BKo02
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDRCwI7MaH
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlj7DdN8sK
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IBmUVvIme
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLYaLI8YGB
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgDjD7OYuq
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXz7yfiael
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EMLhO9c7w
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixaJFnym7Y
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01jIEMgSrA
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrFWFwH4cE
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiOI5XEJvy
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNFEx393tu
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NZEm5VEeW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKyFBWn9W5
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt6j7Sc2Ms
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvKxja0pc4
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vpd3Q5iE3
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHZVggqlmi
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7RZwKJ16n
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4C5wSQ3kg
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED4YS2k4jb
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92gndNlA17
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqtu3aS51J
"Same here," said Lucero.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0huMAhWNX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecvSYRySHM
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpnpVqQVp
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?374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCjJajmCCC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UM7VKCCmO
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrIlB0L3Ov
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?374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNOoVXXfRt

"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6BEB9xEnJ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcxj56xIld
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbULhAnEASI
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FkOqzrTzs
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UgUQr1u7I
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjzSYqAfyF
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodZlK01fOi
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOlircVkwm
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2OEZdV8M6
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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnryBfQv6kC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HQL6PKpKq
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2ZEvx3GFu
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2durkCY8Wn

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CnufOdZCy
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvIzZJkVqR
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwD2fU7hep
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIF631JXO7
"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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbxohJq8x8
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP3QT3oC4O
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezNvWf4Tpy
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5cdhwnAYu
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtFftu60lp
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuRIL123UX
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0ssIuSEH8

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg83txgLg3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Ytn1v0bV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDEDuHMmcU
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALl3kPoZNf
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuF6WXu4zl
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7FSCHkjJn
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB7qJjIPSa
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFFfd5fX18
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmau2uPLS2
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DCGgfEoZW
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl61KRVEb3
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZMcfIyZnl
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNEn6KDe1G
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q7oUai2kV
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8TpIeuT5p
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtotBBFJKap
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcYemh1btg
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhgUfUUoys
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?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUb69OTyV8
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZFOeJxndC
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXBBFzc0EY
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FnzMTDvMs

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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PLvHKLtyP
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ceFsBv9AX
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooz8izy7v3

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqlbXhYKKg
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQXUm1xAuH
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCnyPW11F1
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj89H3wZtQ
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU1DqBt7zv
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4HJVEEhWL
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMYrGiO18c
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQT9j41D4n
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WxzVOUgH6
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ZkL9O0Zc
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy0JWxjO7n

"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX91Xq4ZtD
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzaYbVBG5B
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3WCNifbxj
"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."374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0iirQGfF6
374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSYjDCQFcr

374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATuwiPZaAM
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.374Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KLKahpTiO
