She sat upright in her bed with a gasp. She just had a terrible nightmare. Not only that, she fumbled by the bedside table, trying to find her phone in the dark, but couldn’t find it. She knew she left it there.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jMkp0WJR4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxvf3aY21p
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWWWyZ2WW5
Someone on the other side of the bed, stirred in their sleep upon hearing the ruckus and turned to look at the person fumbling in the dark.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ313btvYs71

"What the-?" a bed lamp light soon turned on as the person who had been woken switched it on. "Nicani kanshi? (What is wrong now?) What are you looking for? And in the early hours of the morning?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgWEUf9pWv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8icTh5960Y
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMcK5jhKYi
She didn’t answer at first until she realized that her phone isn’t anywhere nearby. She turned to look at her husband beside her.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7avTxroco
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI77IK4zCS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lUwOliEcy
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku3brZ8HBt
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwNBjQhyTY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhHhcv0ZKZ
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU4ynz8vZ7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa5MlojaU0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nZ4822S6D
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVq4fZuW9V

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfv1Q6qzNP
"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbY1PLrfnD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVXo9EDfCU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWTfdda685
In her black nightdress, she went to the dressing table and found her phone there like her husband said. She quickly took it and turned around to get her black sleeping gown at the foot of the bed. In her bare feet, she quickly went to the door and left the room. Her husband growled as he lifted his head to see the door left wide open. He muttered and slowly sat up.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7KmM3iRgt

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmZO7wmklB
She walked down the quiet, dark hallway until she made a corner, entering a room. She flipped the switch and the lights went on in the living room. Likewise, she turned to her phone to make a call.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC7qpoEXvN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOjkzcF8O5
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl6swgWeRO
When she put the phone to her ear, the line on the other end didn’t even ring as the automated phone system said the person she’s trying to reach had their phone switched off.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9eLIKOxxA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxCyQoLOCE
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10nisuw6lb
"I told her not to be switching off her phone," she muttered angrily as she looked at her phone to make a call to someone else.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoak7kyw4Jk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCCyeOhksN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh4VueS0Mu
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP6EOJttiz

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPXHmHfN7J
She started to pace up and down, bypassing the glass table on the white and black zebra print carpet. Not only that, she didn’t think of sitting on the black leather seats as with each minute that passed, her anxiety increased.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRv8oeOBSK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kz0uqDuAX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZHzreC4xk
When the person on the other end didn’t pick up either, she sucked her teeth and tried to call again when she realized that someone is in the room. She turned to find her husband there in his blue pyjamas, looking sleepy as ever. She now felt guilty for waking him up.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwAvN2ar6n

"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19HZfiu0FY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KH1x4XgZC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkRB0JS9G5
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ax3EIqb9A
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdI6JmH1rj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90K9olyRkz
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5GUUZ1uxs

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71S6LA8ukM
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXglwQXt9Z
Diana’s mother growled in frustration. She quickly went over to one of the chairs to sit, her head buried in her hands. Her husband came to join her.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6zqazZn2I
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwBCdB5pIj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7C42hIhH9
"You don’t understand," she said, dropping her hands to look at him. "I had another dream about her and this time it felt different."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDQFGnWOl3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBSTcf7tg1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe02XenYCG9
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrKNI70jMr
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCH7TWaQFX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLmNL55MaU
Before she spoke, she bit her lip. She didn’t know how to explain it. Her previous dreams over the years weren’t as vivid and intense as this one.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMJlCocvqT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGiPaGs3sV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfDT49j7gy
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4dfDt9v3c
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELHg5k6QWi
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqUYIYuwtJ
"That’s what you always say when you have these dreams," said Diana’s father. "Aren’t they just dreams? How many have you had over the years, but they've never happened?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IQUPU98Is
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjq84Ld1j7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWvSKyV6bP
Diana’s mother now sat upright, shaking her head. "What if they did? I believe they did. Besides, Diana doesn’t always tell us what goes on in her life. She’s so secretive."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHQuTRu0ti
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGtffxFe2U
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAm9NV0Fuz
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsAPWSGCZV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHku3k0LCx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriOS6Qgc3B
"No, I’ve always had a feeling that she's been hiding something from us. She’s a good girl, but I feel there’s a lot going on in her life that we don’t know about."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiUvIDDiQz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNkFfyblRR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHkBMl0kTY
Her husband rolled his eyes. "Please, don’t bring up those incidences that were happening in the neighbourhood. Those were explainable accidents, and you can’t point a finger at Diana. Most of the time she wasn’t even there, and they happened almost four years ago."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKP7DAKetf

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyUJiJooQb
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBSUTJZulI
"Enough, please. That’s a long time ago and nothing has happened to her. You haven’t had terrible nightmares for years, so it's probably just nothing."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAPe40Enih

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboQV6vyZwF
Diana’s mother looked at her husband, still with a worried look. She looked away. As much as he might be right, her intuition ate at her terribly. She can’t just ignore what she dreamt. If anything, it felt more like the first vivid dream she had of Diana; that she had died. She remembered calling the school to check up on her, and they told her Diana was perfectly fine. When Diana came home for the holidays, there was something different about her.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynH9nKquyu

"Tiyeni (come), let’s go back to sleep," her husband persisted as he held her hand on her lap. "If you want, you and I can call your mother sometime in the morning." 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YairRiqA7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkArYc6BK1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLl3a45PBc
She couldn’t argue with him there, but she felt she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. Not until she hears that Diana is alright. 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFGk1G9V2f

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UBOPVTecM

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6sHKIin4Z
"Be quick," Diana’s father stood. "If you’re not in the room in two minutes, I’ll come and drag you if I have to." 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiKCOLZuz9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2fwkcOAGy
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCIEU36wJg
With quiet, steady steps, Diana’s father walked out of the room, leaving his wife still seated on the couch. She quickly sent Katy a text, but she knew it wasn’t enough.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bkmeYNQhl

Namatama stood up from her seat and slowly started to make her way out of the living room. She thought she saw a shadow pass through the window, outside. Likewise, she stopped to draw aside the curtain. A neighbour’s floodlight shone brightly in the next yard. For a moment, she thought maybe a cat had passed atop the wall fence, causing the shadow she saw.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXCE5YplMe

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy2fW7BhUn
Before she was able to push the curtains, she thought she had seen something through the corner of her eye in the room. Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly turned to see if there’s anyone there. The only people awake are she and her husband, and she would've heard him if he had made his way back in the living room.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJUG7Oz9LT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qY21pvQVJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyqMCGvDM8

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBLG5NjnAD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG3Y6Z6IE0
As soon as she heard it, she jumped in fright and almost screamed, but someone covered her mouth with their hand from behind, holding her in place. Diana’s mother is now terrified that there's a stranger in the house. She started to breathe heavily.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqyV4ljaBQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4JjhZbjMs
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ839R5rE8BX
"Don’t move, and I won’t hurt you," came the voice in a soft, yet dangerous whisper. "Calm down. I’ll uncover your mouth. Don’t scream or else I'll kill you. Nod if you understand."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBNwf3yGEE
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupYCtwkmK6
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ14Iy7dH8K
She nodded, and started to slow her breathing. Her heart beat fast like a drum that she could hear it. The person’s hand over her mouth slowly fell away, and she felt relieved. She quickly looked behind her, but no one is there.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4da11plKW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7RvLrh1NU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDfmEtbptF
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeJoOJit2y
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG1DYrwrAo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPt5l10Mfw
She swallowed and slowly turned her head back. Likewise, she found someone standing in front of her, all dressed in black and floating in midair. Namatama gasped in fright as she thought she would never come across the terrifying skull-faced mask ever again.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbphkBYxYzs
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIWg5Gffk3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHxJf8CReA
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX4N282dz7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Rrp4UrN9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsK7lGgdMU
"What are you doing here?" Namatama asked, her voice breaking with both fear and anger. "I thought I told you not to show yourself ever again."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8loImwMJzk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PeFNlbRh7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrA8KiIm10
The floating figure raised her hand to remove the mask. Behind it lay a young face of a woman with light, brown skin and sharp, dark eyes like that of a cat. Her lips were coloured black, and she grinned at Namatama with her white, razor sharp teeth glowing in the dark.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WgGYYuLfc

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORD5KD1xVh
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bhPIagQmY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyjFixYQZg
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcERRZy6gKD
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTAk6GPq3l
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2NDDHCh1B
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sg7AVhL9v
The woman chuckled. "It’s sad that you don’t know what’s going on. So much has happened over the years that you’ve failed to notice."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1KMeS3Ya1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eFbuaQ9xV

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHBxfY7jzi
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkJzwgLoTD
The woman floating in the air came a little closer. "You know that she’s beyond special. It’s been that way from the day she was born." 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqK8selq3p
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5FsagolTO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWYQtsrKWB
"Get to the point. You came here after such a long time to talk to me, and it’s about Diana. Tell me, is she in trouble?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9TddKlbxE
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHmPbquPuB
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkadbQ5PqI

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrLJsOUdkC
"Honey, why aren’t you here yet?" Diana’s father called out. Namatama almost muttered out loud, upset that her husband could call out like that when everybody else is fast asleep.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ00B3OblH

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyDSpib5H3
"I think you already know how she started behaving when she came back from boarding school a couple of years ago. Some might think she was going through puberty, but you as a mother knew better."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB2lZgfBma
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcnblmn4RR

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrxgpKOCCz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvvPaWkf2F
The woman in black nodded. "Yes. She’s been trying to act as normal as she can around you, but it's been difficult to keep it under wraps with all those weird events that used to happen."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0zFXm0Mu1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHNRmQYWor

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnkp1yqKFp
Namatama continued to back away as her heart started to feel heavy with grief. She felt a sharp piercing through her heart and tears already started to fill her eyes. "What have I done?" she muttered. "What have I done?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT814MD4BFA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqTeXt708a
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzl6nXiLp4
Her hand flew to her chest as she sank to her knees onto the carpeted floor. Tears quickly fell onto her cheeks as she covered her mouth. The woman in black continued to look at her as she said:416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMgOxb3CPT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFZe9mM2KQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1CL3bqC6g
"As heartbreaking as this is, you should know that Diana is a very strong girl. But I’m afraid the danger she is facing right now is too great that she has to brace herself."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlA9TGOaTL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxiGCiK6qh
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZLREw1JS4

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoav4HmtQif
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuERm5mSSBG
The smile the woman had earlier plastered onto her face again. "A lot has happened over the years that has made your daughter the bravest girl I’ve ever seen. She’s been through a lot. And for a girl her age, I’m surprised she has matured this quickly, especially with her true nature coming into fruition. Many people wouldn’t have handled it as well as she has."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNzh76q07u
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1Nx9Fa2j
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uHEMUR5YF

The woman put up a genuine smile. "Just like you, Diana is also very important to me. Don’t make the mistake of not telling her. It's best it comes from you and not anyone else."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeg1tuGUm7

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZMlJgYm4n
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIJJlGUYpb
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSuPmt1GKK
Namatama quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and stood up. She looked in front of her and the woman in black had disappeared.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFJwQaXQ6S

Namatama couldn’t argue there as she followed her husband who made sure to switch the lights off in the living room.

I look back at him, trying to relive what happened. "Well, I’ve encountered shadow monsters and also a level one." I feel Stella look at me. I must have forgotten to mention that I had faced a level one before. "And this one felt like the one I fought before. Shadow monsters might be mindless creatures that love to bring about destruction, but there’s something about a level one that has always kept me wondering whether they really do think on their own."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp2iz9i3Qg

Lucifer chuckled. "While the supernatural world is a mystery to normal people, many supernaturals have also been blinded about their own world for years.

"Yes. But…," he now stood up from his seat and went to one of the bookshelves in the room. "There are a few requirements that you’ll need."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShk7VDEAbN

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAekwAW3sF
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWa8AsQyH4
Lucifer ignored him by not commenting. He looked through the bookshelves at the thick books with hard black covers. I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but you can tell nothing good comes from those books.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw375XA9dcq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN7RZAwlwN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSUb5DnpXV
"Okay," he took one thick book on the shelf and brought it to the desk. It looked so thick that I’m glad I’ll never get to read it. Who knows what dark things it holds.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecUYm6OZm2
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7t0YrD8KT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzciX6I5CMx
He started to flip through the pages and I couldn’t help but take a peek. The pages are old, and I noticed that whoever wrote the book, had a pretty sharp, cursive handwriting. There were many drawings and illustrations on some pages and a few of them looked quite gruesome. Stella didn’t fringe away from looking at it. I turn to Mutale and I see him look the other side. Some Elite soldier, he is. 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTSCBwGCgC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQbqi6p4Ka
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH9i5iuoap
"So," I turn to look at Lucius behind me while we wait for Lucifer to find the page, "you say controlling a shadow monster is difficult. How difficult?" 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuKG7qUbvz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBAOUP5sQK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Yab3ZajC
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1MibQyinl

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YwdFstszY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0t3qYKwTm
"The way you control it is almost similar to the way you can mind control a human being. It’s easier on humans because you can manipulate the mind. We already know shadow monsters are mindless, so you really have to dig a little deeper to take control of them, meaning it takes up a lot of your energy."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7O0oOxAvV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHL5HTZnSv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOiXx7J159

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tU7cC5uoU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5aYns1jLd
"I’m guessing whoever brought up the rumour that only the devil can control such things, must have done so to prevent us from ever thinking that we can control one," I said.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6zUoSZVJb
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBOzfEl1Wd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD1VVmEev2
Lucifer chuckled. "True. We did that because we know if many supernaturals broke their minds, we would’ve a lot of them causing havoc when that’s my job. And I am at least a little lenient." I gave him a look on that last part.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl3Xy8vWbq

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE86yTMIGv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HLd0k1Ch5

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOvtdCP5H2
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg8ivJ352O
"Killing an immortal is hard, and you know that better than anyone, Diana," said Lucifer. "That old fella is probably somewhere either in this world or the other in a peaceful place chanting mantras or something."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIonce7MmD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRStnYkUnY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dlvuG3LhQ

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMUbt5t0sH
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeDSUDofAi
That’s a shock. Whatever reason he had for leaving his position and going elsewhere must have been genuine. The world of the supernatural is just as confusing and chaotic as the human one. If also given the chance, I would also disappear.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bGcC3W3Ck

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxybf3o5Yq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUrfUIdLLm
Stella and I quickly stood up from our seats to look. Mutale remained where he is. Lucius slowly came to join us at the table.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4hUgdhE4J
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBUn3HL8a4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdggNJIcV67
"Okay, so," Lucifer pointed to the paragraph on the page. "Like I said, you must be a supernatural. It says here for you to control something as dark as a shadow monster, you must join the dark side."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A4hxHvJef
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXh3zQM5kY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iji4kSBPs

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnSdKX8cDC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpkn20fd6e
"Yep. Selling your soul to me, that kind of thing. And…, it says here you must also sacrifice the one thing that means precious to you and there are some blood rituals you’ve to perform with all the symbols and stuff."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv3HPqsgZC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD97tNZr6yN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt1E7z8T7j
"Okay, but these are just the basic stuff that a lot of us could’ve already guessed," said Stella. "What we really want to know is who could it be."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r7R373LNH
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ0sroVKXa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNVC3Fpjx7
"Stella is right," I said, looking up from the book to Lucifer. "You say anyone can control a shadow monster and these are the requirements. Isn’t there anyone who can naturally control them like you do? What if the person we seek never had to perform this ritual?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw0UQSATXX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN14U0P1mL
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmN9FYfRbV
Lucifer now looked at me and this time, he had a grim look. "I was afraid you were going to ask me that," he said. He looked down at the book and flipped through a couple of pages. "Apparently, you’re right. I’m not the only one who can control them naturally. There are two more beings that can."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRlS6lqoK8
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy21DLOzDNQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoCwsGmWWw

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUw0qB5SOR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg93SGfjS2F
Lucifer pointed to the top left side of the book where there’s a list of names. His is the top. The second and third made my insides freeze. I should’ve known better, especially with the third.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4zsATYpaY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHe3fALTIF

"Oh, I think it is." Lucifer brought his left hand up in midair and at the same time, Mutale is lifted off his seat and brought forward. He flinched at first, trying to get away from Lucifer’s invisible grip, but he knows it's pointless. 416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumiITj5SIS

Lucifer turned the book the other way around for Mutale to look at. Mutale did his level best to look upwards, but with a simple bend of his index finger, Lucifer made Mutale’s head point downwards. The look on Mutale’s face as his eyes fell on the book said it all.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rxdWHWrHn

"I’m sorry, but this book was written centuries ago," said Lucifer. "Like I said before, so many things have been hidden from us that we only know what we think is relevant because it’s been set that way for ages. No one likes to know the truth. We all just like to hide in the sweet bliss of ignorance."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl3JEtx0h5

"Enough," I said, taking the book and turning it away from Mutale’s eyes. "There must be a reasonable explanation for this. May you please put him back down?"416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUMekVNO0h

"Well, I think I’ve taken in a lot of these revelations for one day," said Stella as she looked at me. She soon went to sit back down on her chair.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFj7YJeIWA

I look at Mutale, and he still looked horrified. I feel bad for him. It’s not easy receiving the truth like he did just now. Even I’m trying to take it all in.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkFaoUCtJB

I went back to look at the list and I realized that just after the first three were a few more. But the names were written in a symbolic language that I couldn’t recognize.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD5SgSJE0Z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1s4KhBkug

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlS2IxmgHP

Lucifer now looked at me and that charming smile of his came back. "It’s not necessary. If I were you I should be more worried about number 3."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdncNQwkHD

"I’m sorry," said Lucifer, raising an eyebrow at Mutale. "But isn’t He the same person who created day and night? Light and darkness?" He sighed. "Let me tell you a little something to ease your mind a little."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIM3ul8o9R

"As much as He can control shadow monsters, He wouldn’t do it just to get to Diana," Lucifer continued. "He has you Elite soldiers for that. If He wanted to, I bet He would’ve sent his angels to do the job, but the Golden Elite decided to take up the role."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw0C0KJkY2

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuvmNLQkOY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs5qIMzNMd
"He can’t control a shadow monster without me knowing about it, so he’s already out of the question. It’s just the way it is. Moreover, if I try to do something similar to the light, he would know. That’s why the two of us have always stayed in our lane to not bring about confusion. But I do like to give him a challenge once in a while."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5xwGlkQYt

Lucifer threw his son another look showing that he’s annoyed with him. Before he could throw a comment, a knock came at the door. For a moment, I forgot about where we were and that there are people in the house. Lucifer told whoever was at the door to come in, and the door flew open. A woman in a black dress and white apron stood there. She is short and plump with her blonde hair tied into a bun. This must be the house help.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxItAutbeL1

"Yes, bring it in. I want you to tell the guards to get everyone out of the house," Lucifer ordered. "The place looks like a hellhole."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWMrP2gU90
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g7LJpQ4Sx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeePGBj3ai
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAzdPsmdPr

The help dragged in a movable tray behind her and there are all sorts of delicious breakfast treats: chocolate chip cookies, eggs, bacon, bread and cereal for any of us craving for it. There were plenty of white teacups, plates and bowls to go around. And after all that’s happened in the last few hours, I now feel hungry.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9gjdZIBkY

The help soon left and Lucifer said, "please, dig in. As for you," he turned to Mutale, "you also better eat up after receiving the news that your wonderful Being isn’t involved in this mess."416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb44vuWgL1z

I watched the three surrounding the tray before my eyes flew back to the open book before me. My eyes are gravely fixed on the name that's third on the list and my hunger quickly dissipated. I should've known earlier that there's only one being who really wants to get rid of me with all their might:416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuyK7IklhY
