The Devil's Beach House422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD1BvGUDch
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBXCvzdxtp
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMykTL81jmJ
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZSk1Sd8wL
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CTqwSumI3
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb80CGSyOr
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgIuLBUc2N

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7fLt11m4w
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcehaN1XDxs
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR1RH9e6rS
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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UQ4zfDoKN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkSp5YE9qz
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh85MbxlY4a
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZaV19QeRL
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Dz3dRCod
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXSdxBP7sQ
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ObqJg98qz
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGneJREKtal
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5Pjp2sKTu
"Aren't you scared?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmT4UBYBEm
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohkMfD0JvC
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYf51tqctt
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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQT7DQB3xc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o5wZizU0X
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXuaQprnaY
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4OYeEd9Ng
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasCBflvqbH
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLzQYPQnrm
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxkcmFB6Qu
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghaIVYqlTR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncK6PHdLjz
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUGIGQCzPW
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXxpJ9Wvey
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBGNR9TBgI
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8cCFIi0j5
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7NQFwMe4F
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kiFMEzlWu
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg9UU1jSHy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HDScnL7Dw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAp2Cd5C6j
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?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkQ0AajtGX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjepIHJE8Va
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmZsem6K9g
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOBlEp1tYq

"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAw9YD6UqN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqsWt7SLi6
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HK63xRqey
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO0wMch3xD
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ioSh2xIn
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPnfa5z1r1
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzSnPXrxCo
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQBaDivjTZ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMPRDgxp4H
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwMZ7susEI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd47xXhom5d
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBmn9noEsv
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyluGeXH34
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSDCc7jil8
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZknjRea2RL
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBASAgxCKdg
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0nezJTPdv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUgpC490li
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxWOtqKRei
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi24QCcv1x
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CAogn3cVe
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbdVYYn54G
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkkxcmVCdj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUjws7M9eB
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYClvkO3aL
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcimO7jfLpo
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡictHAipGRN
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc2Bu2Ta4Q
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsGXZm7gPi
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi8KAn2byi
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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYip3QFEow
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlFlZmUfFx
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HVV9Kv6mm
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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy6Z0EtsIg
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOuIzfo2Dv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG9CXEv7GQ
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6fGbyfqEE
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiddI1VnxWI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfm5xNDHGQ
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd0E8D9lqe
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjESWaTDbO1
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIw6G80A2e
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZXKgLvO2m
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxj2iOIhlH
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkM06WLP38
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJveWBEKdk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZClruIwab
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD9tCuXmjg
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5340BHmkj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUKQkYqv93
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJm69KCs55
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOuTEKVJDB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW1OVlRRel
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEvZ5HTE8K
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHx2VfUCOa
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzSYjQeNvn
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGzb8C8FRi
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZVjTJ5aHl
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmvY3zrC2w
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKcmVXECe0
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZktG5A7iXE
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl757x4Ahoa
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJyoalFgab
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBAlXORgXh
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YHltN7XYn
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxXlkvwI5T
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5sS6pH1Bx
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIVySHlL3Q
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMcWFf30OX
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?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM7ZtBMCnu
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6llJsSTxi2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Qbkhg3JI
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68hhyirg24
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwbo1Mj5wY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj7CVzL8DW
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqakzo0XDc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaeLeCxLhX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD9S8OX8lv
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLqdkTAmIA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeG1VnPWoD
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy75B91bf52
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dKoJGtolf
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigqy5BVSpt
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWoaxkklhk
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnVhFk4fYR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolaNdy1zrn
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFhNTKD5E
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEsf3yOwBP
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRgG4RKFHZ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1arZ9qDC13
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghL9xBRey5
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx1uBeCqAj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwpQs7aFYx
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsafmy9f4LO
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQhv0tCLzy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYunmflYjLO
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprcxWBwB7b
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKtawCf0xl
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI82YHTgSK
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFfLSaIX8j
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg2WMpDotc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG3f7M3m5I
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjluiN5JEbc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CpInSpfrH
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1y5i3u9NW
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQlUmFvALj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRdmRpeKeF
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREnSXI93Zq

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmknaFth2m
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y4057X44q
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfblsIGpLk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj49VBFO7As

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0MXCACVzk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ojEzB1mr
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsATVKyUnd
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9VBOj4hAU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyKPbXZGTR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciN9LPipqy
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sbrxqtczU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qrz9v8Hg2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA9S8CjDix
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9xeRfJTGN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMsrNOblsP
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEydR1hA4W
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU5xvry1y9
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtWLM6q2OW
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LeVUtmR74
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPmNWjCYsR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNIkrOsEMx
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkf9OH7aSw
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7fErJio8v
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdldKGNTFo
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQPJf90Fsn
"You, of course."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsVZSgbecf
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHDImVthnw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaXSLKyaNt
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRwt4VnZ0v
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj40Jo4UYt
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30SEQtMyDp
"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOowswiPNKd
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbyhxrb0wq
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexrPq0MACZ
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9NnW34JBa
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hiwpnU27O
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgZtd5yczl
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlVNO3ArP3

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qmZWTVYoY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ251g3VLXez
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ozohlTVN
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDqbDi6rGI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcccKhAOit
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc22vTT38pD
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3KALmifsU
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx76odNU1G
"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVCA5ppeNK
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqZ7kNBh4P

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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCDpVOZ85E

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuhMHHFA9i
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZUkdZ5Bfz

Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f3ltyxqcl

"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kDtFxrXfq

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOrHXua8OZ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eqDjTQ7HM
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DOAlaguhb

"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbmv24zqU1

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgPXp67zTk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANBKLS66oL
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtpTP996VS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q6KfATDDX

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f2BaE3W8h
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ1gJp8vCK
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD4sJsDROm

"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaICiclNh0

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk4sVzGWki
"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. Not to mention the Golden Elite will be knocking at the door at any moment."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvugyNrFVk

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnqaIpfTB3
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mtf2zwkGb
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UsUX5la6t

"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.

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ivc9Zebh

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvYWnTV7Lj

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHkge1GX0z

"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56mP2hNhZE

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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeLfWE8Thm

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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9eQRS2NYi

"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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSTXifIbgA

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcaUVrxKXM
"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?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD06fSsaBn
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlKsUNEnUY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TCica2Tq4
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUBMgNWszb

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mF87gQDYq
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUNvmJqpbV
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSBd5fYykw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GxRDkbqW0
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN2qldG7QI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzvEzl914E
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcSJmRmtIN
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe1yOLcCPr
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsPzF7oE7f
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi3geHA4vu
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vVS5mWny3
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r8c2DRqnh
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusnkTrNwVP
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftWY68klBo
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMYRXmm3oP
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIRhYtFdX1
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIBdQIJyWr
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFmvjCGKZy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNkFiYnlPi
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?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB46OCId2bX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7bzXgzXV0
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAjzPJ9h06
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?422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AmtPT81ro
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxib8ybrSg

"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5wXHarIV2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRHnKPMEG1
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZGFiHHo9X
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVliD2pByc
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnbv2wcGcT
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7UepYh9Vk
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWcpEk2TgQ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoPBmwBH0X
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD9zXiZoYP
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWhaRnNytg
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgkO8z7Qsk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeVJYVElad
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhMnUG7VFB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUxXL2TvCS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSJpY4OdwJ
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokOif01X0L
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZc3I22UOs
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn9kXmIf8n
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNn4ionNpj
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D8baitEEb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2tp1anRXG
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xOZyE8RVE
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZ8xQZdRX
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ccUgkWZt
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeB6w0lZZr
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwMTaYdLl5
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCronKx83P9
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k8VhFXS9Z
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQsYQoNMFp
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzSQDdkzqR
"Same here," said Lucero.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaMTbwjo1s
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1lK1ep9eR
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMdvRbcOZf
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?422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwXf14gPZ0
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaehKUbN1K
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdiRfMCxDo
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?422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MtqxI6LwT

"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDFF4SeHu4
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBfw8A8DFL
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsp6XfzxiS
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT2rowlZq1
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl1mFNkGYZ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJugPbK5WZR
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf1nM4yUUQ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89trB5hyzb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMoSiyWl9W
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?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QteErbMa9
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5LIyDrjjK
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nz4c1pkuF
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu8HUkTyp1
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFRVdQrKbt
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6aS5hN77T
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnogSXKDotO
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmTJYSeDhG
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3TBVHd4eG
"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?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXZICGeqGk
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozODucSSnm
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6EljqOdhg
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL6WjLuJsw
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TIJkz5CMK
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlKxdi7TWE
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutRg4PILY1

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd0lrc4qsS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlGi87Z4eS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rRYdHb110
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCSmizoagW
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA6xXlcuyB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSpMaqu7s4
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn76wpiG56
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJXW9vpgUK
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Utngnx5t
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93qMONdUDS
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29PeyrvjtY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Oj4Iomqb
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxo26JEdCI
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7dSvUAAAu
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEsgSI4Lqx
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuEeiW37h7
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpepL0CYWb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4nWbw7n5h
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?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsVwhkYwxA
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS0dxSQv64
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23Gvac0mj6
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRC27qbFi1
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAzol1qJqy
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmQ2HaXzUT
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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSfkMHW0a0
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydFb7cy3fv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3uvwmcPBy
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV7vH1qg1a
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ431LlX5kLZ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQkFzcWW9j
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj6UfRBUNb
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cWTlOgthQ
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj3wbHS9mt
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZxmfgddl2
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVgd7ff97D
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK72NQ2bI80
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrNjLpPo3i
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuXYpxw5hB
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZcr5Gudt7
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HqsdWDnm8
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Dew2SURr
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHoRFiNtQj
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGyPX84lW8
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YiCZTSyzv
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsfOa6C1bp
"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."422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu2BkHlJMu
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ5AEnf3DV

422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRxKltIGgY
422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jD5NfB87D
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.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vb70zjsnC
