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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgaLzaI20c
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7xlnoMWrY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqOXixLAZC
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAt61htezt

"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?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHyx08i6zA
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MVMJ0c0EV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXPFHsJhkq
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxufeg6BQy
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO3sirJQry
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdZbYQXimk
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHl6ipn73X
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHN50PPHPl
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSKvcwkUp7
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS8ejLNTjV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUvscHtIDF
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOzLOsT0oI
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dcGiGQ8XE
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRaour8rt2
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxHzTAnez5
"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7tPfQ50R2
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YEoC95DW6
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXq9WJX0mi
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5hQOThsJH

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU3R50WwVC
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKhVfZ3zOG
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcShk7bLWB
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo19iaECLdZ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAwGzp0E90
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38qwC3p41I
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEE6s46Zo0
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMFYRAk5JH
"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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VcNVW6rHN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGIvhOoqis
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zv566gdz0
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY6imefACP
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGnPqPf6Vk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKfcAWzcqf
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFJSt9vKOi
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CwtoTXXY0
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHZ3G4aTM0
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F38EgnYaw
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9OieUX1OF
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1azkqVafV
"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHISnAwbXK
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3cdlfv6yk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCX58grLAI
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtkrWsaYqm
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkYTmRoNsU
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy9ydOuXdv
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmgiGsn2ny

"Didn't you talk to her a day before? If anything were to happen, your mother or Katy will let us know."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlPzlf6U7o
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQsG5KBBXn
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bzIjHd2xi
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJOU9avjYB
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEfY4tlRkh
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlSyX2GTHC
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3LRl3ISUY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt14BOKvr5
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYNNXA1KYs
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfQBIIuWJQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxSFvbEbdz
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO1Pya0t6T
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseupgJ0j4Q
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EkEqzasr1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokRqised1c
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloxd1kNpgt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCJzdzNFtI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FMyCCkrCo
"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?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrGE6uXCXg
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Lyr0rQuc
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOtvN4oK92
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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Nvb87HLf
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwcrlYr8q6
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOYHKBKWiF
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmmetRpsWy
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt8a8JKSwm
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCT7DSEQ03
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cT5nOV6cn
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pMX2nOkt3
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVzQQukY7o
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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN5mwPS1yV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo2J5hLlNx

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERzIupl1jz
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtktyzWLzmw
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8usghjaqc
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIeXdFXb63
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqsLuNQLjB
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7D9mngX0H

"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." 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf8DfQXmBP
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KvEQVC4tp
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYEEMcbRyf
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. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj6zhhUvAv

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sf57eBVp8

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5fGoYf9zr
"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." 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0tBOny8cF
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzNeeLYWlu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7U7ltqUey
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvZJckmwZq

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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a5YWqPArd
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSxppoV5t1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgwP7oHN4G
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWcJyp8EkQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZpERGgU1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMKGyXQFcP
"I must be imagining things," she told herself.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtbzjZIdR8
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwTR29L4Qk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDlpwR5Pzc
"And what if you aren’t?" came a voice.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnu1SEoYCL
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJV2KlINoU
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMMd0I8Q5N
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknkaJSnw12
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkeOw9CKAR
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNULvtfqWF3
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsgSqHRO1r
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIChDQjiWc
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RmEsflsNY
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E7hqi17qZ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hYpINHaau
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqx1UbOo8y
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNFnV5cyh2
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6688mSYrE
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuXTccMyR5
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mtfTzHpLL
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfzOmdPTiO
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO5t28d7DV
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrghibfjGla
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRW3yfwWFE
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KEUIeddJW
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mFJdDMu2C
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzIYwQewwC
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBz7ZPnifP
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy6lraY5ik
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81ZDy7cQlt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bo71vgMq5
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLndmcF8VC
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl9KRR8Oev
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQwCDk5DK
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw6LrP4Nwv
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKV3bbaJWY
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6heeqUaQZ
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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpySi7opOO
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ9LaAHTk8
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcGuXkVGbM

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhoHsv7tnu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQGe4dsJZR

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci0uF8Iznl

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEl4BJAyNl
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4Cu8gmX4n
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." 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2DrouTiYN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtbNpt1MRb
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHMZuaxxmr
"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?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFXgY0ynu1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXTVdvgxzS
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJud0PpaJtd

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aSBKyAMM1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbFu6uhNRj

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6IBLsLpF0

The woman stopped smiling as she sighed. "Her destiny is catching up to her. It has been for some years now."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlerOr7V5l

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcPDx8dvYK
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx2dyCU8kU
"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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjpRsfjG4E

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxXOJXiKb4
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeISiQQTIa
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbcPCuaRDp

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaKnMX8Mxd
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFlseQo4Qq
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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUnol6agpZ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Aa3khSwn

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzw0FQ14kT
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiZAJRRQ8z

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5MaJcg6QW
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?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFz6Zz8XFy
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANJNe2AZPA
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioxS06sGQ8
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:295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM8gx9FBsr
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnABEfPCPt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwtucbIzWP
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4mqejXeEh
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQdqGSRhdR
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk23iH3RjAZ
Namatama looked up at the woman. "You claim Diana is strong. How strong when she’s just a young defenceless girl?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6joP5PA8pV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XOYT9d6nC
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm4VIut8R1
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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubRPAHPoDS
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsOGlmmhh1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JBANFZWlF

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwguttIXiO

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

I look back at him, trying to relive what happened. "Well, I’ve encountered shadow monsters and also a level one." I feel Stella look at me. I must have forgotten to mention that I had faced a level one before. "And this one felt like the one I fought before. Shadow monsters might be mindless creatures that love to bring about destruction, but there’s something about a level one that has always kept me wondering whether they really do think on their own."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX3TjzBMrH

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

"Yes. But…," he now stood up from his seat and went to one of the bookshelves in the room. "There are a few requirements that you’ll need."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bLYb0G2GE

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4QcG7VUJv
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa5EaG0t5u
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlYSxnzGDp
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCYqlxmRPY
"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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfu9nxoZot
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mAIt9yReV
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLGfcgH2Wx
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. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHEVReSdPA
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf0lFfij9B
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX5EtoljFR
"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?" 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwsoSxnMlG
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHALaEUVHC
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGvquffUi5
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBOb5CR8lS

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHsCzP0fCC
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivNRFjCanU
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pDf2tyF5A

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5xYgLfdK3
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUANZEIY7w
"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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggHNNdIWO7
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWTPEMThjS
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNkUTZwbkm
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauW4J9Wqxb

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpifdddBKa
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAbPd5gaaZ
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlAErpj7lz
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs7DzZsW9W
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtElMU5r3lb

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUioXfI5nM9
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjQ3K6A32l
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRPIa9zBcD
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDrKN4wvcl

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lYy6v5I1l
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Bj1lpVDJ
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbFo1VnWpQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVkVIiK2GI
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnbIyhhFOW
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7qZp7i2rt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN0sQtjl3B
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rnlOaLiOv

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPrSZBxgdO
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJwajki18t
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwQ8uWIBxv
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLZpTEYJzj
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlqk2pFzMU
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPgjhyzajt
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAbdnRBJw8
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVnQGBLLA
"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?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3x5fmVtuC
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABGLPZlKtm
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV4kD7NMZc
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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6tcuY331s
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47G9eMAh49
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKexy1ngvpI

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuwZcLxgnp
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNNfhVNRNa
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc86HO3iyPB
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebZgUQKSMD

"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. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8hHILt5S2

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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpvNQXQYaa

"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNLQN0uHUn

"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9s5ckNBLM

"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?"295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez5XEd0Zpp
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV59BEn15Ve

Lucifer dragged Mutale back to his seat, making him land onto the chair. This time, gently.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhPxN8h864

"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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB8hxlJ9sX

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPLiYaX5SF
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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NC26GyW4J

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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1sBiy1kF1
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI5ZyjUPd6
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrr1FNzceR
"What does this mean?" I asked Lucifer as I pointed at the other names. "I can’t seem to recognize the words."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPClIcoA3A

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq3YRKQyPP
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9mhZUp0zf
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEHXskPPYJ

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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYuS2kXYNw
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaMSvzn6CF
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHVIrJorCW
"He’s right," said Lucius. "I'm not surprised if he so happens to have sent the shadow monster after you."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZF6q46Iqu
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij2qQd8nQx
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Gqi6DoPk
"I’m worried about number 2," said Stella. "The thought of Him sending a shadow monster after Diana creeps me out."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN15W7k6KNX

"Don’t say that," Mutale spoke up. "He can never do such a thing. That book says nothing but lies."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcueZtHYqwa

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JWM0BQDVt
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhUr4RV4UQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bQQUX4F0S

"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l1qhFqRQB

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rLHwAVrgk
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW3vPEmXTU
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHUY1wifpr

My heart felt at ease. Stella looked relaxed and Mutale exhaled in relief. 295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCdiEEaepP

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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVGZI7boMs

"Morning, sir," she greeted Lucifer. "I’ve brought in food for our guests."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD0477ubGY

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNOVItU3po
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQK5yKvBiM
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9iYQIE0LQ
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYntnECibHp
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOBLqc7m6c

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.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIFZqi3bFO

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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU6WwRiDHR
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGem3vmz2pN
295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpSQDFVJTA
"Are you seriously asking me to eat?" Mutale asked, sounding surprised.295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHS8mnvDMk

"I’ll help serve you," said Stella as she stood up and approached the tray. "Now that I think about it, I’m starving."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQ6RN1sEP

295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCUJsv3SQF
"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."295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZaN7DQVnr

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:295Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCLJzriZX1
