265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT5mUNxZij
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK4UObySkA

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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y6ejdWt9x

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JOxqgsBSv
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5bJ18NhRp
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqDOMtRgTv
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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjUrGr8yVW
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3FIsQMBEC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUxWGpYusx
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEdloZKWcA
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnmTALdRut
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RTT7E24aM
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNSii88nCc
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaUHTMXHLe

"Aren't you scared?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslwv4dK9rL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0dDfTb9HQ
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa6UYbZrlK
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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyj7AV2UfJ

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA9ZZyumCs
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY3dTFl91Y
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpfuzR77wK
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lH3mdxw4F
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l5SUt5Ob7
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxHNBlkayC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6vdSEhHfZ
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4DIYOd24Z
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj0NMUcn3v
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiaGh52LrS
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ERfIY3054
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bX1tfGsrg
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uR4N6w4j5
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51YEpxotkn
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLnFIPzMfC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx7iFCbo8P
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?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn7QIXh25a
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOqvFZiAkZ
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TRwdbGDS1
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xZ0WLuKYq

"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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ng6F5VVFX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7edNADliG3
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUEO2mn5BS
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZVzuxPFQw
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBRRJHfayf
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYOKPDf9mn
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPgfI5Sg8K
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOQTBKEqEy
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqBpky3879
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv9qn5NcBI

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNjErLfPNv
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbHCGoeq0t
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVfWACPksu
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFSQ3eogU0
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA5LI9Ppx6
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimXVQuVNty
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPeNpG8n7W
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDflAUQLBcH
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2i4Wl3k9Z
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQkvPpNS2k
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf0znBiPMi
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWDJGrjNhe
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8JJgPyVMS
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsmoo4mQGd
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG87kOqRYi7
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV54Xki342
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfA96Ojf5f
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSxpzfkZt8
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYynmjsGJX7
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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDa89MVa7s
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn1WswAgnC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbAm8uT2yC
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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZMTFYwsce
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwzzCBx8qe
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b4h6gaG6P
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtopS5BbcPt
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLuCCXZKCr
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86svUtcSAJ
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtod7K1hKS
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a20cuodjI
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrYcwHnVUT
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguDDcmpmwM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxhD2hac1m
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsmHTATI5J
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8LiGItOc2
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj7fb2PTDe
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLGIXqlutJ
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa9N0G2ETS
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qGrpiFzJh
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC06Y23ttk
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFG0lFx6FB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV01jBVP1h
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK4HMzDae0
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Dkoo9q02
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMpZHG4KC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKT7UoidSD
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvBAM9ZHKb
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ry9IvCRw
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTV21WfGRI
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjxoVpNTYj
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYxj1E1zrv
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CkoA0ZCQv
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIKgvPd7Ws
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsIOhJtQHe
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiZDh7ZNR7
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NeO3b5CGK
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGSRqJKEhm
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gA9i04nix
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?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWZdcp0bF2
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxCD0xMIx
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6pqrGuBWc
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUrhl1JmTH
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrM4AMYu9M
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNWit4MLKU
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCr8n7kgiH
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVN1PhtnZg
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNjIKPxtFL
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYSIh6zUyR
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWRrxL4CC2
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3do1jNQFKD
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvngT2VAqX6
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ufRfN32QU
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpcqWpZ89j
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhPongXZuq
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxi52PaOvP
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbvAFH1cuA
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLagwtwLGT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dfp6QCdM3
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg67sTlIls
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXGTBSzqdQ
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlziZP4HC3
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dd64lBK4u
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7gceh60Yr
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsnpMjm496
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMwPKXNhMt
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL9TV3MRvM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkOxE8OEn4
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dqPw8Lacy
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMukriOvR1
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn5B906xbp
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIOweU7OGm
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEcDc55nwD
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGnyrBqDpd
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8NhrGF9bl
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Ft20kZrB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqIrX7QwIt
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEwMPugkfR

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkOyIJWgYD
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMjxV36ZLK
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBd94iUuwD

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbITngh0NwG
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9hVKz7OoB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAxRkTVB2Q
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztqWc2MHTU
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4tciDuEix
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabDhgAcp58
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVNiYpQJJ
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ofuauDQX9
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo8XHyDEzw
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI77uL9S67F
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnBgZobtnX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGQASo7aFJ
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO6GOwokUG
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZInGcRNoMz
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYQDKXxV0R
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANSCpMDIwv
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEL0dk2583
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gFCWCsMRk
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCeCGyBVaH
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyLZaHX7qS
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgU0CYvs52

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2ieHGPuf3
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX08j2LMdhs
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCNHRBVoVL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc7gkocCjh
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD3P9Rg7FA
"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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJCKTbV78
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSdQO7oj82
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5w6xNJLoi
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGWO8f29hS
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ux2bhVmOf
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFjLl6lvVP
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI4vZYVjaK

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilnXqDRdqs
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY2RKunqIj
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGny9baevC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePnuRojW9Q
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLEfmATWvT
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq5xTP0teu
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVBMbAPL5M
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3GvAVjEdO
"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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaKqWilDDB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP4Cp3Or8h
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVkrSVtIRp
"He's more of the black sheep of the family," I said, my eyes still not leaving Lucero.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jOX3lmRI1

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhQw38rg9A
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlhuYlRPa9

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jVLOiWS2Z
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBR0oPrnUg
"I'm not going anywhere with you, Lucero," I said. I felt ready to light up my other hand.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O17NbwnF7

Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVQdqkH0Bt

"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55rc3kBnUG

"Love triangle," Lucero answered as he turned to look at Stella. "Well, you look stunning. Sorry for pushing you aside earlier, beautiful."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzogHMNFQWK
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIiElYkXfz
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooTlpMcVm9
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKpfwWcES4

"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMW6QjCeYA

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdZaTjS1jD
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgs7W8wMbF

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr5HsJONzy
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR37Rr2h10q

"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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeinYoMfuG

"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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNLlWbuYzs

"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.

"Then this house will just have to burn," I said, extinguishing the flames on my hands. "Lucius is right.

"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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9T7aZB259

"So whatever the case, they will need you alive," said Lucifer, looking at me. "What do you really plan to do exactly?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE3oFjM9WT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf70I7OlmB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGexnlJtu6v
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNHSHv4Kpw
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO00syPDtD7
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2HAaRNrU1
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UOd6lHOXl
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDNLrgokGJ
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP8GnXn4Jk
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBn8NLoZIE
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf5Ts0M1fc
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoPNOTZfyF
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqaytO6LSr
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WdTsjzOM5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbztv0fX6mh
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerRYY8D11U
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vV9UFbLYU
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKEqbUiL5X
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1ZMC6Loiu
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060peepjgx
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdQRsDi8s8
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMuZ0M9goV
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmXnZ7sEqF
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3le9D3YbNO
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?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR355GJ88J
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJO6toJIw6
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT84XpuOi4p
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?265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFIUCcmIY5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknsdElBjVB
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca8iosAMhm
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KdygT2s04
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWl4yCFTyX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGUc9VQ1D6
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjHTwAJyzk
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQSrt4Kf8k
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIKSHlwNBf
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfKMOT67qt
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILkaAxigJj
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDhzhmufNe
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmgsRwkibR
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOtxkGsbWm
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtmCImIgPB
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GCweEEfAt
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BK9yu4OPp
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhDLvsetK2
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡighX6OIZs2
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxghSgZqxG
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbJqPShC7G
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4xS5QHW3o
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9S7clPU2T
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh273qIzMKZ
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBGnR9jJi2
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNZjlWefUi
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs34677u4I
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S8YSZ7Xv8
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D329TKbNf
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH5lvwQD8v
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ZE40mG9P
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEkuyPiadq
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QiibBKxBu
"Same here," said Lucero.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHxAywvrvw
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3a7I6mDTU
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApmvmdYfJ2
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?265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n3Scbte7f
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibuuDa7mSL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FsDNZyFtU
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?265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5Y3j3VpCl
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTagyjhtxX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnlXqAE4qA
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUupadkJLn
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IWuQfMN5O
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa1eHnRmh9
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL43ITga4jz
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGnF5oW7lf
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWCosCDIdc
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv7O5yhzc0
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOc4CTAINM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuIpEi8amr
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?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHffoBjnwNh
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7SYqgLSuv
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EACY7IKye
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Wqy4l6kb
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd1S9NROBC
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiyHQm0ib9
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfaQfE6Xrl
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idpSNP06R
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8GMjfmXqv
"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?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfovM3ntgc2
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWR5fgz1gM
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigXJOug2kH
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XLAKyLmfT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEcy2Vh61q
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlOdkhUiw8
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZDssXOicr

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7huyyn001g
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fKrOmGKUG
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwDZ0UCtLy
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXLbUoQx3f
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTTvtRXijD
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTQaLP3mc9
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwqx7jrTVL
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHLyFCFQj3
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pxJ7ixp8M
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hIsTMwZsr
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNy3IQjxd8
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzJSHUAuYK
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeKW1xcRVd
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqblyGm6yTk
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSuDgPBjKK
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0jcNwUNal
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Loavl5vP
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQed9KEoeue
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?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzlhHBv1Ik
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY3lFMlNNI
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ZWARPF1S
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXpLK7Nke5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72veEN83M8
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjH4OjWTQE
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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzblaWyr77
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pwlg42hrX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdk4hyZr9Y
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa0uAPp5S2
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQOMi0pxxT
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgELdsRtnB
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2elzy0XvJK
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6cwdpOh2N
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuJ1kmBrn5
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAzZVxYLSV
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7sUudYdaX
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerw8lARS1X
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZKFB7Pasj
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEeqEEwU9t
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zGEbYfdbk
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQGxYPwx1k
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Tk3LQ7AJ
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHJw72ASgR
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfZpyoa838
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMEzLjZNg
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwdy9Zjo7x
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq8ebFtPEF
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB9mGhIf2c
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSBSauH1C2

265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1Zq0WptF5
265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQToz8wWQhg
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuTEG9UT8g
