218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLes5sGaQY
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkhxtHghZQ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxoOo5ETxL
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB4pOsZvIU
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoIP9I20Ve

"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?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjReqp0yB7
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllUC1ZQ2Gd
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWbGfGeDQM
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGavYb0Af45
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoquaMsdTO8
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS4EgxBF1a
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qx27IdwpI
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCgc0SXEQS
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfFATyU840
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lQtkvHGL9
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1SwfKN4Bf
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMgq1EjsZA
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8WJrzs76P
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCjniM9dzA
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshRZwkD7IJ
"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzpNs1V6Hl
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkMy10PNGj
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8huwEiWLS
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCziH7QiQs

"Yaba (Goodness)," he groaned. "Here we go again."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9NkbOs0k
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7As8EiBgTJ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXtUStKX9Z
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrmu1S9jh5
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ80mqnH19
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZEiigPCO7
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5pqFlxOK8
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHvzWgG1GL
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEhi9rT70l
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbbztDLs5z
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsC6tdbJt7
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYFoUFaSuW
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKCshpeV9E
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJWIMQk9Td
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxIGZQx1E2
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxGWAAWkgV
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJJql65KPk
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqUzSU2TGy
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DzhjqeKh5
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFIOdbCac1
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcxDOGbdZz
"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcqou1JdQ3
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2RqYead3C
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT5zNH1Wg3
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfiAPlVFbo
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH1OHmUFWo
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MIUadG1nU
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8SZUHv1DR

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5iZnptIRd
"Didn't you talk to her a day before? If anything were to happen, your mother or Katy will let us know."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQMjBM7GKE
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinG8j2Yxh1
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAUX59BdPU
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q9xbbktxk
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7fcWfoVHo
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj1fRdEYpN
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98dwuUI9kp
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAywsmmFiMx
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2amQyL8Dn
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqmmyvAOrV
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgYBm7yRdv
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yICl4Vkz7
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgZlzEppQm
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMVXJtA27V
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3alg8HSLq
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RO5p7VDqJ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBWOhh1izE
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttHt8MgqeV
"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?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfuNi28HJv
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWcShxMGUB
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgQim2hS0r
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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6mL1lYdke
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhfvlNLq4s
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtha3PjpPFu
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhEVu68xT5
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mx5BVVwbs
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DwRWoqOS9
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7tswir3on
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdmbWtUqGm
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb6mrNGWij
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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJRHYLaJ8E
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpsLEau0EG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaiUUbXJxH

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6PVdeBqUt
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1myr1A8IUj
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqmRk0vKyK
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKrx8jJqwZ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5OpTUozv
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdECG57W3Sn
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx4q6u33GY
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m0uBobZ0w
"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." 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVSkO6j1CZ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10nw7wCS8g
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvwyC4Z1Vu
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. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd8CwV5RPh

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxkbU60Pxx
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeLlLjLmvY
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSOJvetMM7
"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." 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ807DZu2UTz
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrjDIjJM71
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXUyCwvAbd
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxU0GBngpM

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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN33NXXjLCq
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb3SXoHFYS
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN61TFCmWi0
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqqxPcjxD1
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanuNoD4xam
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKyPRO4bpq
"I must be imagining things," she told herself.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeECoL6ZJJX
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32zlFgR8HG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Oqv3ei7D
"And what if you aren’t?" came a voice.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurW8NtDZIK
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1FzQHV6NB
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IEaa1MlOn
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0atDh8YZq
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JMwHhwjQm
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLdjEuvInf
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5q5ylX16u
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1h2ToYKJi
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S4KC1ubG0
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTwCTGJi8b
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWvILfiIU3
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT1ZQjZHh6
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ721EKHM9
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfOgFh4D12
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6G6qBCSGk
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zL3OFV7ID
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv0rmx0jT2
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsy4LslYXG
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqmhycB3cV
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNBdd1jd5K
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9F0wKfHUj
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TgCx5Eh60
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtwa3LGatS
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxreyM8Vlrb
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjZn6oIoZV
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfseag1Q1pn
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEZLQ62zGg
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6npJo4r4oq
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQdXIh8WIB
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2LaSBPSLJ
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcLB0ZSAba
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe4fsIuskQ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcGqf3eVB
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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyf356jGKw
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlQevgM7Ud
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqh6spkx17
Namatama’s eyes widened. "What do you know about Diana?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtQ07qsbW8
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziUwCkupGQ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2FMYyecw3
"A lot more than you, that’s for sure. Diana is a very special child. You should know that."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NmfrBRp3l
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkhzrVtnPt
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh0M863T1u

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDubPDK3Yyx
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfvJtnCJj7
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." 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZTcS0HnaM
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qxF0Wuql9
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDACY2XCskD
"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?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREeNWzaT1f
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MpcuT9rUA
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7f3aUuSrA
The woman smiled as she backed away a bit. "It’s not good news, I’m afraid."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQByd9zWvLI
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mPCXT70IT
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0YM3uAuuu

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HcfsVUVTW

The woman stopped smiling as she sighed. "Her destiny is catching up to her. It has been for some years now."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhEjCKcjU1
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNpi8ea0vr
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsJ5xdrZJu

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoaGWSgs6m
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5uKHeCSyZ
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8rN9Zt5gS
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc14cqoZ8v
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30yjacxVct
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx547riuIH
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxglvTkwTOv

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSTC8F77Pg
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVdRUlsmF6
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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71TCUcRjYu
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYFLYCor8f
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFal7hKNkc

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3GqEcdIoT
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIrz0acTjS

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJcbkgH6QR
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpsrRfgMuE

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfitJSI3dOP
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?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4aQOSA1lG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa1clGhppV
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkl6uzZX4l
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:218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ6rXsMy9p
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1emC2n9qir
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqrGpnPnwm
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nHMWEEZZH
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNGXvH4D8p
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudVfufLPmZ
Namatama looked up at the woman. "You claim Diana is strong. How strong when she’s just a young defenceless girl?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCcAGVajDP
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjdJGaWsca
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF5OD37U5A
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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbry0xj8GI3
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXyaxREzom
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgfVcFPJG1
Namatama sniffed as she wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Her true nature? Does that mean she’s like your kind?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jAmprulO1

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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DTywL9e2A

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4CtwItHsG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47OWEx8Nrc
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmItSKTxcXt
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea4VkmjVKB

Namatama couldn’t argue there as she followed her husband who made sure to switch the lights off in the living room. As they walked down the hall, Namatama couldn’t help but let a tear in her right eye drop down her cheek, praying for Diana to come back home safely.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqQb1p8ymU

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEOatMM9WV

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU2ZEzsyH1
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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTfHv5wMJ5

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPxHpo5lM7
Lucifer chuckled. "While the supernatural world is a mystery to normal people, many supernaturals have also been blinded about their own world for years. Only a few go looking for the truth, and they don't like what they find. I hate to be so flippant about revealing the truth, but I'm not the only one who can control them."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSy38TXIxK

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ZFc0ASno
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf1KF7xEAy

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyF9aurYMC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpeI0nntF3

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zNpt5i4Q8
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqYct3ZSEp
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ8145wtaZ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWqy0JmPMK
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkKhE6xHJ8

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gw5H22cRQ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxNvv1sc6i
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RdFPVnIU1
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV6pJKyLKE
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj7pScivJk
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AfvrHrgG7
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGhpyI2RnP
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9t5sT8VSc
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. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EZ7mzhsOD
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDRSnHcvac
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdjIjUumwO
"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?" 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k6hwECJjp
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjm8dVIppp
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxmNasAfRS
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ6nQGfDkO
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnsVHK8hpG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKACIiMIOXa

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSPhdkhuRS
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULqMc73qku
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S87fgHAEy
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIQuFXbquh
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyxi9Y5WSj
"And if you aren’t careful," Lucifer chirped in as he continued to flip through the pages, "you might end up breaking your mind."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLpr3HGPsO
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooVR8PXVVi
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpLOEYRRar
"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvgy4tEBtr
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNxrfsEvPQ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNdpIhMQZW
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuhrgjoqrp

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlO2IOc9dT
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OyfpSmmYj
"The Immortals of Old," he answered as he continued looking through the pages. "Those who have lived from the beginning of time, so to say."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YqFGPuMWz
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhVYNC2M4f
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92vPJSyjXx

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0MMSAyH7s
"If I can recall, the person who was in charge of the Butterfly Island before her Highness was there too," Lucifer looks up at Stella.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHdaghZEkc
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXK3xRLBaM
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ640t5g9CiQ

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzH2obIStW
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydQkuNLwZ9
"What happened to him?" I asked. "Did he die or something?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHwi2dWoXH
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqdDPVxIOr
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiwgiHYnSi
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwNhsT2IU8
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0zvmIboTA
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wNQRRtcW4
"True," said Stella. "No one has actually heard from him in ages after leaving Her Highness in charge. I actually have never met him."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBK3agzhtn
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sp8Qseq8M
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcKng28INX
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTTlKv9pBj
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmSIMlpMLR
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c9ZwtVVRE
"Ah, here it is," said Lucifer as his right finger landed on the desired page.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkZrXCI0CF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLhqux9nch
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm39umStFw
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1XxswPCd
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA6WA6HbYZ
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxSiyW3J0n
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M9swlmSGd
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVlMTuuIqF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxTEg9Gx4i
"Meaning your side, right?" I asked, looking at Lucifer.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKbxtopUc2
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhCWnXp2HT
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghdhz2bVsy
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO53SgwH9G
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AMkoZsHru
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRZca0sEbm
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2dtiS0FU8
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysTE64CJwG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP9RvJHed6
"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?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazzdrintg4
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWOKhr9TZk
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYoafWlzss
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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzARY5Db9pG
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVZSTO6FYF
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7NJt2RyXf
"Two more?" Lucius also can’t believe it.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03xrKNX7Qt
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGDKbwyLZr
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjUJi6sSja
"You really should be reading more," Lucifer threw his son a look. "Let me skip to the last part."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uX8QzARGu
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsI2nLmaRs
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnDLcpPkUL
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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAIL144ML9
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTDo3mwxOY
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA2IZQ8uyJ

"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. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1a7Dqx8pu

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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveW2K9BwBg

"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DKP1iXs7R

"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSKF7oQkf9

"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?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2jTUmPXyk

Lucifer dragged Mutale back to his seat, making him land onto the chair. This time, gently.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yBiRWIA0u

"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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTcIxKrLLC

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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95UpYhQ64H

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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TrCQsQOb2
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnhqtCm56a
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyihMt6Kexk
"What does this mean?" I asked Lucifer as I pointed at the other names. "I can’t seem to recognize the words."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5k6gITJMO

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT4RHVeNr1

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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWYf0fFcAo

"He’s right," said Lucius. "I'm not surprised if he so happens to have sent the shadow monster after you."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns0W1I1EYM

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUyi1vlgPJ
"I’m worried about number 2," said Stella. "The thought of Him sending a shadow monster after Diana creeps me out."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9oyr505cN

"Don’t say that," Mutale spoke up. "He can never do such a thing. That book says nothing but lies."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTQip6UX7Q

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqH2PyTYqJ
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeduyS7IOHC
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnchQaVuYd

"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0evB7koY1s

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4br4xlwD4
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaKBQAvvfQ
"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiq8STpdeL

My heart felt at ease. Stella looked relaxed and Mutale exhaled in relief. 218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDvflu7rBv

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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITeVohkkHE

"Morning, sir," she greeted Lucifer. "I’ve brought in food for our guests."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNDsUN3yqN

"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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u3B3JB5od
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNBSVnpQJy
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwSnbe39rq
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYiqIxlsh5

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.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLmzo7JXUt

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."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxL6DCyhmn
218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JbQFP5W1n

218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rQl6ZRjrt
"I need to eat too," said Lucifer as he also went to the tray. "I drank too much last night, I didn't have a bite to eat."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3DHkscNdp

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:218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8TckAVzh9
