344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWJ2kpxy6h
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsChmuCamta

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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW5GnLuztt

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rPYGj3KyI
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZFGB2oqTk
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU5u2ROzVR
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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi42ogWunS
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v3IxqZFkY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdHJELsuF3
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4uTRrxBsF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN31GA90b5N
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVEjM2pwDA
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1lmaeBjQf

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlfjQ4Zkqj
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNeS1aNli0
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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiuFIx4lc1

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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HWBvJ7fEQ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54oeefL378
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBIWeBZu8D
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP17BNwAgAr
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Cpv4pRef
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8xbrSRfjT
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsxeogNL3w
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzbKDmRJf4
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvDOPESOm4
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEzNylNXu1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlPLqznUvR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDXII0XJdS
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBWWVGkX9n
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNW7MBRIga
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogkkNLDCse
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?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyYMXIbErx
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gU4SFcDHo
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JsQlHQPDR
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisiGSFLzZ5

"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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWMll7n6WT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYdfAgykrN
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyf7IqAFTf
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGfTyJDIG8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0LcglGJ0T
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtZpTB90vA
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTfPVOHdGv
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YaIaQ4IpX
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYzW3OVmOo
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZ6EzPCyT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8McfazCsdy
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwoRGNnoKQ
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK62NmkjNA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7MrvUawWx
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHswrWHbyVm
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp2VujX60c
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJhbVDqqPK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41YvcvJC8b
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xzozIpG9a
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Ki7cs1jC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIyAccP0C1
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKwT7u1QTZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV44RLVKU4
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OVTW2tDtr
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEPYfiWZM1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUuEeRfPlF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6qiZ8mQUV
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoUbCv2qh6
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS8NCBjiZE
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhv3ZHHliR
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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WeimwdYst
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgVA0R0KHZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5lJObheUs
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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj1gIn7HG8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSiI2ajV3u
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn4NdBGGe0
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gmTKQVCDG
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq88AmkaxDC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcjajmymF7
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgNpUh6Y6Z
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFg1rplRic
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEbOaDeGZz
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthybGp8vOF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1rhl3xFgZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ1fIVZpnf
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVPEwLLi6Y
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MgfWIMrOP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9OeUiGlN9
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5pjGZCCkl
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkogwQSViMJ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQWnbqAj5K
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwKuPvcOcV
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vw7NQ54aH
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgbKYhNKrr
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCOv5P0S8H
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjcobcgeIT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbUdOobY8m
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFb0LDsSCI
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwpMJQ6gJE
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHdkBCRgo
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5LPyIDAlM
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BVdSiy8Zt
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCKSHJtxJW
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgMaIYCAf7
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfCtVednvc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCTbRWtmwX
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0bXmYEr2A
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWtDTXGd1N
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTkCJunv1l
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?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFKqbQ5QMg
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50VUpXpvgk
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z1FWDKvMd
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjKq2JJlSB
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVaMYhF6Fc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb8Kwfz7h5
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm9Ga6Uwcf
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMshB3fKzCF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYiGYaMI3r
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16X5RSpcDQ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaGEAXNEmS
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkeIlrJfym
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tIQe1Ome8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkJZ6WmpHn
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj6aubQKEg
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUvE2eaBXe
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C8hWMKm2e
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyxY3PrtL0
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApRaF7fz4w
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s8Vu8jhYv
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7WKAVUURk
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc6hofOyBT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVicEoBSrt
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEwS9VjnYM
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6KqE7dl6w
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ukz8IJkaa
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNdSEDVS9Q
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE78USgCVP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecQNk0xUEh
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAdBem58Bm
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIzWWix2NF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJuo9up0SS
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQT4h0begs
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW5x0v1wE1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjUFJWXuJn
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3pf4NYr6f
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6eErbSyPY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdg1DfidPB
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa6MdI4D9I

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaGoIlcHqq
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37cuTefEBj

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwH05I9twF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeni2Aru8L
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe0qiZf1NY
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlM9WwLRwn
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wDOIri7jV
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid29iLdQex
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam3UTGO0zU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8NiBjCBHj
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEBB03Zu1s
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiPqw382Ce
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshm72POWmv
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XT1ZZf58H
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUvBR0DLWw
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRNMRTxSc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzbeeapgZg
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R39uJAoUf
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmX2X06QVo
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5eueGu8z6
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2obINuOPD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVgwOiKTaD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNpg6NqWUv

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqotreSXjZ9
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Z6inEiL8
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAXlForIDH
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYRchHh3Wo
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx6zyuHftx
"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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxsrX0qOD3
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxRLQDtDj6
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeO7o1KtyS
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IJZdaHlwM
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLAhm1GclF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8CQftKTk
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GwUELjixm

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ5PF2whJU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGmVhW96NM
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFlr9hj0RY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtVYw5i912
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrCcxskvES
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqjuj2qZR1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeM2Hrzhp2
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA9Jz22mDN
"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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdVVFmrApP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkE47srzxx
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNogGOZCcM
"He's more of the black sheep of the family," I said, my eyes still not leaving Lucero.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0jLTkxEuW

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcMikgor1Y
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxiIYMrLzm

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRm7HbeIxy
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DGIjM9KZ4

Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8o9kLnuBu

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRGoZOQPFm
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v420DyjGV

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScXxDc9ctW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecUchx718I
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjg1zWiYZs

"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCARJaumuxa

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllv2AJpJQI
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn00ecy7AZp

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMDxZJjDZ8
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecmUcQtmHL

"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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdurtXx80u

"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.

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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw67bxErBk1

"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.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWZDR1rzEv

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2plJqkAcJ6

"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcI7FHKbVM

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.

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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xZCMjAWt9

"Well, true," he said as I noticed him raise an eyebrow. "But you had gone quiet for a while; a lot of people thought you were dead or had moved on to the other world. Your aura is different, too.

Lucifer opened the door to the study, and we all walked in. My eyes quickly searched for Mutale, whom we had left behind sitting on the same couch. Aside from his broken leg, he was perfectly fine. Lucifer didn't do anything sinister to him after all.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQq2EIhzHl

"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?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Jz3ook4F
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTSmhGGnxk
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t73OYmasW
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHAaTDLTUR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm6NRF97Uq
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePpRnVyQJa
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDDsOlrcN5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBA48Dhste
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rt2eNP7tk
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tfyVsAUJi
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx90E9O6jU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXa6ayVJmJ
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ul0q2Ma1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9y2ULT1cg
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqJWvYy1lj
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvoEwu3RuG
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf0LlvcvQU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKUNvVpZ8x
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrcaNm1Qn2
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW95FBrAk40
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lxM1NPqUY
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53CGQHud39
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG0TR5MDre
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UWPCO7JTL
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?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8i1KSt2rI
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6hpMtLt0g
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXHYDNSPo4
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?344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnoAkg6oXm
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pZvUclhZK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBz9jVosGs
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeofDvHFqj
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3G0HP87Ub
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJvLbRbaYy
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K9ZHlIKI7
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCMb3pd5se
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DkFeHLnUL
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g7IDwqZtb
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxs0KWqOl0
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUop0F3E4n
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0HPAzzhis
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQcupEUIfn
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzxK4yJyBT
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb3XwwbB1u
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPj1D7yaPO
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZhkUyfsiI
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vFlQ4ut0q
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jNVvC6mmD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdytrYi3RiD
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi93wpciC0n
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAOFznO73e
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLqNuI3Igd
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY3a7LmbcX
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZPCDZUBHO
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi4FWISdza
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX5JtYn2Cy
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96UKZprspj
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDWWuYn91z
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoPWgN5rHn
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguyRtMgFKg
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSnUcykJ8O
"Same here," said Lucero.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnWrJCPdJZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJD5U2AIkR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfY7AXIunM
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?344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zuo4IYVAy
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnDmZaLHBD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC8ZfvspCt
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?344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXJv23uPYw
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CTcL6Sgu8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEsGfn3KmM
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZAMvas4aT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAWcHpepK5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZRG0sZiyl
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6920ynHdQ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleJCUr3Yab
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwqcNFRq5K
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpukJidd0t0
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46KmxZzOzY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mohogPxPE
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?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ7bOzKH23
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29FtTiDRkL
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtenfh0bHn
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26oOvrD5cG
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mhNeIHtvJ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6QZYivj98
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5KrryzRWA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtNYi96YyK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh3W9597dU
"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?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4ifYe0Z60
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTaA4NW6R2
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyyrtwqhVG
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX3we0CaKs
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI4uvVl2en
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8GLzHcrzN
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgK9dvkmuU

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZU6ICsbkI
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNjgHaJ7re
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZhayGDWN4
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHoXDqtWst
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR3Kt1VXPx
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJN3fwaoa5
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM5fw9D8L2
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9DKlG3d2A
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinZ6mRus9t
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1apgWXYgKv
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yRyVPIS0D
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fn90QqhNI
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy0jr4CK0G
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTghrsdDhch
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVpXlw9MP4
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMtOEGODj6
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxHRHUzg8Z
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡual4pUltDP
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?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KuA7fIQ8T
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFIovYOZVi
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9HvPYk3r
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0eHT6kNof
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyBd8Z8nTQ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpEK7gp5xQ
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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeflBkKkse
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VA65drrZf
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9roegq7FDR
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv5rkRN0W6
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenu7ihFelw
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT24gIHiVI
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhIKFww1Qb
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGd8czAKzg
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgzgbFvF7E
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZU4gNYoaF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqLyRzgmB
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTO6SrWGvq
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzPlhg7E2B
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw4KF8xBzq
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZn5VdjWlM
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQBIU6ArAM
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdME4CtVX7u
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJoxKRkvRw
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVvgzEkvpE
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53TwlfawRE
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj9Ph60A9B
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ddkwEn9Vh
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf0SKTv9d2
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR1aCgTHHa
"Hey, I'm just saying. Some things are inevitable."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8FCkCitZk
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt6q7aoCG8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLF6rtyXi3
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVipkss9hWM
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxvuBKiajK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hctVoOgX9
