426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YJUdZ31hj
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JHz9Txhx
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlrWdMqRaF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkTZedz94F
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJSK0i0MEm

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdCnVSKeAM
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhN5v3mIxs
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVie7puGSB
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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWvGVFCjmD
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDx0TdJM5b
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Im6cpFCe
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRZTKgFmQL
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBjS56gc1n
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxb22EQbJw
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uvHCNslEd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5PGsG9Bra
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwAeic3X5C
"Aren't you scared?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9WxS8sUR4
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxokNNYRHo
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV5TTKZ0QI
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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe03mNTH3NC
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWWvHOanbN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqUL7GsJh6
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqfHgesBJF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KPBcEaqqU
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl79AglIh5
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglqHzwdcjb
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2z8371DMs
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuncnVLD2F
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj37Qt2AHO
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ9zFugzIB
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxEpLkuuRH
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFxeV3JHUU
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nTjIu8TVy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCr3xFk05I
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgY13e10IE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFyLP9cgzQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnRWzfkzPW
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?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp0MMkzrPk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIRIAcDOUo
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRXVqvFRbi
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdepWg1ZkD

"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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJHcl9Ufim
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5we0jvhMi
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGfK0ggkIq
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqbXhlRw6M
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KRIPsQEfg
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYQRLQUwtp
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lSZeBmPbN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4nZZRcA2T
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDihhGzZrDi
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdaQhrQ2R3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDKRMMaBcp
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQKPaYyxg8
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaZr25KKAc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mm3RkUekV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEELn45JnP
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PH4gLxJpy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJugmcie0rq
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyE36oiptO
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpufqzn42r
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRUcnYvolq
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy59beIlEg
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHZ0IWa5vK
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29N64vkGlK
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLyakT4keb
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebiJciTNco
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiI6vCqwtd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZHqIObSHV
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFiZXTsOx5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN2TsnpE9g
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHl7lJhmCS
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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim2XruLDfE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZsFOaKCxR
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQz2gmGsLL
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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPibr519Kq
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR04rlZrTwA
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP6rQTOgkI
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65F7OtTEcd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvgajsrAw3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzLtgElLaf
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjJRO6B9SX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBmCpmzxeV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHF6khQ5FO
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc77cDum5i
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFJBkoGVM7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgKgd3l0yg
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hVfbpogAe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZEpuxwaHE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOTP7gmXFp
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy3URHrLfl
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYe5BpC5vo
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGtzkU238Z
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiuA1SRJ6M
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7NgjrIUHX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOnR4eDHqx
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7398N9Icv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhdPqi2aGe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kalXFtQWA
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxICvAlOUJ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLN0fVIfsj
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmssBiOYrD
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KfqJHe9nF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pBsgLi3Cz
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae0whGAVNa
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksKzYoNTi5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfOSG0oipW
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltmk8Wdlvj
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWOOYzVM6B
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB9hHQz2ne
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqideCNJVAx
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?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxQ2e1l4pV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREKhE2CxEv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUygbmH64XK
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIevmEC2ZI
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsicmH7svtk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZT11FZY8M
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbTroEdNy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDWepq88yQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnVWG7eQkL
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSLTDYecKt
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXYxXnT9Q9
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv1Bi6t6sI
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQVt49a2e8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB3wayoMiM
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiMWBNTEjC
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR2SD4irh5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hXH8wflqg
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg0tiiNoSN
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBFs9qf1vn
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMTFASr0CS
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmprIdb4y2W
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD7ZprF8JE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyENsysstqS
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvpxudnGfk
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCYR9Wl2nv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2HLKqJp4w
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiqvK2zkuW
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q6cIbEUDS
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7X9bTHWtc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKgqCkjwdG
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4pxosET3b
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzImU814rOG
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8Ay3ISlvW
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp99px3WJVi
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzgcHXOlN4
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5eo8shQj4
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVwS6jnvS3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk23qRYEGNQ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRI3AvBlmg
"Guys, you better move out of the way," I warned.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G56LP6FTR
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLCKoRp7HJ
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0qKBvfZiv
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyTAPBmBfC
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXWzKcRrK3

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJjrQPNDdf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZFB4xyNf8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2d7b93bqZ
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZwn9SWYE8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkenCappst2
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu2Q7PEIQ6
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcsiUJFn9A
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcsEaTxD1t
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzwpwgSkgY
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwx2KCFUYx
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GR7CXUw7z
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6rarxHO6j
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJswlBtcisK
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNB6FV7ETM
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS6ioPJLHW
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YzFYl8w6g
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UQtFqCxMK
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x0yHt5Vhq
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe4NgpAAr5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LyeakwPtG
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFif5H1QTQe
"You, of course."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuo4JbHNln
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0daaIjYXu7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGAZSLQOkN
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItjrqo8AoV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDjhfa6M1V
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvW8bs66ZI
"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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfvfWwuKCF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgxwHLTRr6
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEPQZGMTIF
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHku6yaUDTF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN4IruEo2o
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfslvtbFwFM
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTt9z1Q8Yh

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYEtKBdDa0
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP0ukEj5pm
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhgs3tr79k
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW44ZF4VXIT
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeIr3JwGzy
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcTqE7v4iM
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf6hZhtXpt
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqiCSQdlCG
"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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK7D3rXu1I
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yzygvo0xg
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi6qSZzuT8

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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJs0aM21KT

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKcclMnxR4
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyDWrVpki3

Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNYXHrB6QV

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocKRMTyAbA
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnFGQ0f1U5

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV0P6DXXak
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTujHnu0Pq
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHiKBvuWYA

"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mVHZgLys8

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWl100VMJT
"Please, you complain about me when you're the one who started this when you got kicked out of heaven," said Lucero. "I just happen to be following in your own footsteps. You should be proud."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxg36osY0w

"Ah, this was just about to get interesting, Diana," said Stella, looking a little annoyed.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiiggNP6F6

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrb4gfbGTN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN9sb2CMVE
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02bruWtMRe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjohIfDyhqd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS09kTXIvXH

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPGpKQifN5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtNb1GLzzw
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy29ipLIqH

"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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEZjBi3k5s

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuYVCpDq0a
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTBgHZvcF7
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKiFUjzlmw

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh0AvVKKjA
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e2KKWk3zf
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQovubFiHLz

"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. But like Diana pointed out just now, we've got bigger things to worry about."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII5yET0TRB

"Let’s forget about this, Lucero," I said. "No matter what, I’m not coming with you. And if you really want to protect me, then we better be thinking of dealing with the Golden Elite and whoever sent that shadow monster after me."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVpAgIB9j2

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruarpGpIAd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeON3MkwhD
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1F34IbR1e

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrYElTgieg

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb55elNNYQQ

"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlKqdSrf8f

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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQQo7p651l

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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtiqxHKzXh

"Well, true," he said as I noticed him raise an eyebrow. "But you had gone quiet for a while; a lot of people thought you were dead or had moved on to the other world. Your aura is different, too. It’s not like it was before. Did you do something to yourself?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5vkMlx7EU

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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAccX2tl1Px

"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?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOZFoV36Em
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm6JRZ68Ij
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1r3dexMmk
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHhkK3vR1X
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Hx1zKHLh
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJdGOZY5a1
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcaj6pfxMH
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqksuAWGINe
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UVasNXyQL
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeB8EBlXFW
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTbgbdPIZc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gd4A3rnZN
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj4cJ4fzc2
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKkeHagxfF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXpH4fmj4W
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhth8F8vWV3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QMmb5pKZL
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q8RGdvnwl
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkJtjfrygV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyafs7X2F2
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z2HeUZ67A
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncfEBbzUHY
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn44xuqtzN
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtQnbxBjlv
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?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGuOH266Fa
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRZPaYzirS
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8To61em3kG
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?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNTA0ktu4U
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Rdwdgabp
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeHpEZ5FFY
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ707PPyUZI8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOa2QZNqud
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85cFgErF4I
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC414MHXMO6
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssLV7QNtf3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTaYpAeNNO
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzGGCpvsBk
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwLOLCswV6
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8exqEHVWzw
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bROQNvhz
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEycEOUKIDP
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y4IAQJaN4
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByWm5JFFZY
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGQNqRKkAp
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfmqMeicrg
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4GjrOf3t6
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPt1tSKWCu
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0hDClSPH4
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb6rtXBlrw
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqeN6vR225
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2T6ufsXuN
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV5RdIDl9Q
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYzme3ib4
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwVl8xFTrL
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41SnCuXBMv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZagaBrVLXU
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ZucexPvF
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkljCKKqyl
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk6DP9t5Ba
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ0sJyQgGI
"Same here," said Lucero.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl1x2tmK0B
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhUlaEoi10
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqWQxxebiA
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?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqf14APgpV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnyghDSoU7
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo0O1HuljQ
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?426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWodeO9Oli
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAJOrsX41

"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2himPbR07e
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqqTdZlO1t
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHEBNTTatb
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxUvAgvdMP
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxgkJxhxPW
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7MVIvGn61
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT4i7sDy4u
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyuCL0HYmn
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmJM3H6o1T
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?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MXJn1vgZb
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRaSCCT6gH
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9jYRXfZh5
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneoIUJrkYr

He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlhPJe7Psa
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFVsVCtyWg
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rm4BaNuQc
"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?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX25VBrpVy
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oNZlJ8FjF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNDiVN3nLn
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7098vrfyE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadJuQSiGxV
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hoW7z7TuH
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgzQvy8z3U

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEl0GAmfUh
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERLsxnfi4o
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVpjUJyTEi
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCLh6tBz50
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYpT8UVDi8
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQpym5uOrP
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3BnKhDG5z
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1bny78pQz
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf27Airffd
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJY60Micu1
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXs82bAhFc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68NTXHgoEh
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsQzuy402v
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobLuwdUbRX
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxA47k9H0c
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03NbWt953
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnzjEASBic
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGrEpgYnsB
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?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6CGIxnvSE
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TZJI53uhr
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm4lfP3Iuy
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDeZ29kgvp
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qpsCHpxYU
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOwMD51U7R
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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAuw9l44mP
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq6XukTaut
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kq4w5rTXL
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPBlqrBcIB
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7RieXrDJo
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIBMwHLhYV
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWNQzSQdjv
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBrwEYhjj5
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJOvRqSFYj
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliGqAVRDt1
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0YqGel6z0
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOjE245mzR
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl54fudFiKc
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9jSRkrgU
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGssdDBM1P
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6xLp5ORFD
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiEaUG1d4A
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpILbqpqcf
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AjHHWJtLF
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS3wlKAPcf
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2VoleNseG
"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."426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw60pCsnCXd
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOPQ5jOPv6

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHxD7XCYcl
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.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhkqvTFWG9
