340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDE6UMEung
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGgqqcAUIu

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfReTq9nsr3
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa7BW1XrVl

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUvmpXmTtP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsqA2qAJWi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jHrryCB6A
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYZKmkULLB
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y68yH5dtv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMvWKAHJhT
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxoC5q2pmi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RJNV7RcPe
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU4Gbcx8gn
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnaHoJPpba
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wMtjGRtdH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fWlWX9m9k
"Aren't you scared?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWub2fWfvbd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91mwWovfpi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY0JgC2bk4
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrNRJwicfR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18EjhgfqNP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLIC6psP8r
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Uq4P0vkY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgNFFofNWm
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaW4oJpVch
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X3JJ5DeQ9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6IqwZngUD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUReZ56ZF8B
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrbgxN3grY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ5FFTq3Pf
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMmbaZllmu
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mI5zQ3cpy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFXDLP8Tnh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm4G8BciZr
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UuYZJn0ot
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3zsdCtUX0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNsjBHsVvZ
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?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHeG3kJ2Fx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEO6Ks1mAk
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui0uwa9DAs
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg6KdRr4OL

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtffnrkbI3
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD3DwbkiNv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6BDYxGikz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5V4Qvldbc
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CRG5oEqM2
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ncAwEdgMW
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrKHnPkkVn
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLWzp8YUvC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbE2qVwQyc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pSciJfShZ
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Jl1uIppY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHOgLn0Gsn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfZV8S0mxB
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1XWUj4aYk
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjc32Ns78d
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed4JptuBHU
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs9VIIr4Bz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qNbdMR4Rj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa97ZkBJW6C
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AHIkaZlwE
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp2kG8bqlz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFGeS250NU
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWxxd3DjTL
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcZu1dC7C4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfcHTSnkWx
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqTnoX3J05
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5uuzrfTKz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGE58ZadRd
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlyxERYWYO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvKiWT1MrP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwDw5cXG2M
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxRegZuvlO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gBzpmILt4
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiEegq5k5Q
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ710HMYg8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjvfWhvvmd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2caeiVUgC
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF8h79Xm6v
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdOgCDwVpi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5HmgWjwIj
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuZn0VWxaJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6azwWVfbIn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTIEuN1QXc
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6dfzJvybY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTcvZiLds3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPkOzV9itY
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQwiPf2CkT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0AKEsnDOy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH527dELG96
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvv5Vuk5Nr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPTf1QZ0ji
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt9FhHRpXD
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzjkS7u9PG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4xwLJVSej
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjplWzR0qI
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz0aoIDr7t
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfQZMFF0DM
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjUqZcsbJV
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb46037WMJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4D0CUVY2P
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQVp66Ktsc
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pR7MKErFy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnZLWuHoYr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAivTPCr1yl
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE673clK0Ko
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmw8G4iHMJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7HMrjDkE8
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFAe7LSaxd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmnhjJ1RZ0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnej4E0s5Gw
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?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNKjwpryKF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXbaKUHyNr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFWZbVQIJu
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ixLfpRwzx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28SecnqNUg
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpFnKfqY3u
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC5XmeTcdo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPZm84iAGi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Mt86I6RH
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFpm26ub98
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UCla1hgvy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgM3kXqFBX
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvORixlFra
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvqRvoAoOg
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TVMD4qpd2
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLGd9xJo3x
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsuMDc2EAm
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd6kKKEqxf
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlNHHXY5MD
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeGGwS8Lfw
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbh7FGXS5Q
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijqoN711R7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KT6N8yzdX
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSHvoUHGs5
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPUWXebMJU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAOId4DLEW
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQELm5qDpwM
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTjxTEsIFP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoTzYjzO2w
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOSQOfpjCF
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg99Hg5CPu
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr7QUAwXPt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkWqQ7OhSX
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jPLIKfyJW
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5fHVA5WK3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Spmwzm20c
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLn1pqru9X
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJHXaUm59d
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIOcigwb2g
"Guys, you better move out of the way," I warned.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NWTz6sKwm
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuqWObB3Sb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Eom7mBKg
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4vAgcTCnz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3608sxnqe

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzOjaQfoJT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYWn8p9JV6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7vwbMNTGu
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsLpKpWeTR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz5QlgJjh3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUlqzKQs2I
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22fY7J9NVZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK2gnm5Auw
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuzQRWB3Y6
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ADso5QqS9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuQXjjdRCF
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopBoUE4yEM
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjFXwiX71x
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktrPVcmBxY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokRv43G3af
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU5AvrQESY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeXCXZZGvo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrffkBFObzi
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ySFLGvoUb
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5lE0Oc2gK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rUPvK34eU

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZWZt42Gbj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSqF7qKJcQ
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaLeZp2vTc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxItJOHfOU
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fSuqxgteE
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl9GvLaPZt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPJWZIlQ1w
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfU76yzev2
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Ubs9fh6m
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlQJK1cLnH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQELoBxTl
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sSPoRXZLB

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTs26ygVpJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PtNfbhMhD
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaleXw7IzB
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ae1jtvTxe
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA2B4IYKGF
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsWyOsLpto
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQU4fSJige
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxojX4eiKG
"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjR7DS43YY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQpFcWtbvi
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSxw5xMyZ5
"He's more of the black sheep of the family," I said, my eyes still not leaving Lucero.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu9LU5MXuj

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGNyUtAsoQ
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xpl7tshjt

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgSrVRiBtE
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsEapvfG8X

Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy3QqdODwO

"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6XkynyU9g

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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya3KGpOqA6

"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKduAIeTjgX

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCxtCohK3V
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMlro3j1gF
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsaZLEqCDH

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt39cxLJwBk
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSamIQbaZFH
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45I08g4yME

"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8sHUJPEey

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHELM7FFLn8
"You aren’t protecting me if I continue to run. I need to face the problem. If you must know, I've got a shadow monster after me, and I don’t think wherever you take me is going to protect me from it. That’s if there is always daylight. Not to mention the Golden Elite will be knocking at the door at any moment."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iE3c9QT5y

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjLD3PtIMx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVB2hMTsnS
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEqtQJvIDI

"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.

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe77OvPmbEx

"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGxFr4df3i

Lucero scoffed. "That you are scum through and through," he said. Lucifer hissed at him. "I hate to admit it, but Lucius is right. I’m not going anywhere without Diana. And since I care about her so much, I would rather be here protecting her." He looked at me. "After this, you and I should get on an island together.

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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgJvW4hJtl

"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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSG3ENnZzJ

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR4OKA0OFL
"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?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRF5XoIm9H
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mUWj731Aa
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7isHvZWylA
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg2IXwMM4O

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LAMpl3Ctu
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNflkjNHu
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9ke7CG1cA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31IPyDEkU2
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYCyCNmiPy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SBerG6tXp
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbRZx2O9aN
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng8C3KTCMJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a3MUSNYJc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc8BSQbPKs
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5yN8sqPum
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2cFyh1uKV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjMG3cQGU8
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy0BNOK9Iq
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRlX6VXpw
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvEwfsOwcJ
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto2rQhdEc3
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi4wlQYmRq
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIUyoMZBRV
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?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ5Nj00Bo8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx0XtzzyFu
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT3V5lh2z9
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?340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVOm9zkyHq
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB7dz3D8Vk
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEAfRgR6ET
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyqXvU83uP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Jxe7PfFp
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl64ZXTQDpu
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL8fDYzsz0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45KTV36beZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZAbf0wcdl
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QJd3YwRks
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTE16DDOPN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9nTHe8utw
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs6KnFXqla
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9t1HqpEbI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWLlFsGrbL
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib88sYlCuV
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9128195TTZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4l7MTtNXM
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcYM2EHvl5
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5VRQeotBY
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL2ZhWFdiN
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQSCtAJrJJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXDdhCOqGv
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsHfM1pHBT
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSIJD0aGYd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqUSs4a7zC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOTaGIKq82
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCy7tKhXpe
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnDglChch7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB9g5YWWDg
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhmMFVe705
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4dXglNHUr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmjQ7awi0e
"Same here," said Lucero.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn65Vf16vuG
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfav21V8Ibn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0j2MFjSWU
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?340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkynTK8BTl
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb9C9yzCEh
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5O67gp3bR
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?340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl5CmMmslC
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70oTEAvm7j
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL71D2bmhia
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMBJEmRgr
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rq3SmYzDP
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABoEbQ7F7O
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0D4tMvpqQ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3utCLoe7V
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZz0ZTA2JJ
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUubBhVVDZ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlZpCY7jDK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAGCw3ZO0h
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?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iMzajmGNt
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUubcN1OO1a
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfQ4KJsUxn
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpebA6X6hO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV79jsGS9K
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGXtbKqE3o
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgYOH4GyG7
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJKYzQe0du
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy8ABujlMS
"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?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsmFTvf4mH
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7kfuuZib0
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakKxxXVpuR
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKZHg7f13N
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlP8NK140L
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj3HTROiQP
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrp8osHcXZ

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp9vcT89Dx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWlTB1icmj
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ucbrHjsJ6
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvoeOyAc09
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpA3njKlZn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk64ZtaJw3
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrgaDKgiK1
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOk25qTqHn
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlxwZq2JyA
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbmv2ZJi7p
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV260fucMc
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWmhWzFsmy
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlenY9EWxFL
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCGrdVkkPe
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAJeH0Ix63
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIQDvVE3Z9
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ahPcjidz
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMBENaj5Q6
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?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMtdCKQBnJ
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMyBVVbgNl
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgiAa5E3Zl
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgZGQSXNHT
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok7aZg1oGK
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00EZC3B79k
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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV825OxReL
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYB0wgeExo
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvtv9ruWHj
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJATxVGtd8
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd8gr9b8Fe
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz01YnJ0N30
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUpCXlLskx
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST88iCTrz6
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArPbpcdqpq
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW4NqqPmmN
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwNDvzCLGy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQKwFXFTVR
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5oGJCF0K
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeozyAwRRd
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMudUT4YWMO
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZkGibaRNL
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDN3qScWy
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCpBippPMl
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX3JZeB9IR
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxnOOMJd8F
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSbpR0BnDw
"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."340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgvNbALxlE
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkhCcU6hbI
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vQbSuAVYP

340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkYFElrDWA
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO82pzIT0G
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.340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg8XQJLCvO
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz5ryJC3MS
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4H84OzYGU
