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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdSvcPx2EN
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMRUfCfbNL
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0GyhjYdfJ
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRPXKxhShX

"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?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg95viXyTW
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVy7vBlyat
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfT2CkZEmY
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vVdfXLWrm
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxpztWQyuo
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMITfG8C6fI
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5NcHiExYB
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u93qa3KRg
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6JiaCMVNw
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQUK1weWUw
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxQmwH7ocs
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0zEM7FLvJ
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYavjBOAiw

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT0MWZU3S4
"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag1cG6q9m6
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMLlpWkXDQ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCL82fltUn
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrlQjMlfXv

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O4pc0o3xI
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6xw7H3Ldi
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAA4fCS1xc
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUQkbg0MqL
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6XVe6wCAw
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFII7kLgGi
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdyAlDdrRm
"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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFn4ioJzGT
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pE9NkT38v
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1OhbeNmRQ
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVAN6fWs34

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDEs4UlePa
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAayoI0yZlo
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY38URbyPr
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwbFxVbZ8z
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo7j1TK7vv

"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NRrxbcd9G
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H1FYlEiR0
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ265kouAWT
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7neN6GPmU
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgD1T0wkQ5
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCgCZK0LJu
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9tZAnS3nB

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8PTGx2JjX
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1NIvNJdLf
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cf8g38S4W
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k6ZdQVRi0
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPpHpTzIQa
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvQVeaSDll
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IFohwwfyE
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXO08vkd08
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATpTL3ySxM
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPA69tzKcW
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3g56RaGkP
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF33ks8c0Bj
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ej8ucnmCQ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPbIuHzfr4
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iZZL78UMf
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyW4BibAOw
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzjDJpgtvH
"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?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdOKEazq8v
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL4pMeM7ru
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMCBXR7PbC
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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4woRRsxVNu
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGSkB9XKEa
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl4tpClgyL
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVfiFolPp8
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdCfHsKUWX
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dDkzifrpT
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1QZPsv47Z
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHIeJKn6Mp
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXZGOC8T0
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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRMU7SWk6S
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXHWKHoGNf
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzqiGasht2

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22N6haXUL5
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcRzjbkLzM
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH2umvhuuB
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuePJyE0009
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ArNOjYwHm
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwdhEQdJmz

"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." 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE1MqqUCO4
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7RUwdk1hZ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkEcjytuiC
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ndl5BNTVU

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5WvuP5GY0

"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." 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxajBUey5pd
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcXFkHxlV5
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeR2ILzhYW
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhocbuemEYx

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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5fxY2nA7s
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pVKETlnD7
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1zJyHuVzV
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexVTdrBUqq
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWXkpFqn8x

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz26KEPkoh
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjE8f1MPku
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofya0VWyZW
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb87W2EHrGf
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGbExxsZ5U
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTJx4Gt1ze
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQyXIeotrh
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjngM5Qbol
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvUHP9w6U
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWFs9D2xzS
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf6N8QvlLl
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe56DjIdPMD
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcWGKnCkeQ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dCwpEmDW4
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7arPE3ZMXT
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPFpDofCD1
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB8nIhva4w
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOStopRy4x1
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGUyPnsP5S
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HlK2eUejx
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqT5B5DIQs
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmYDY1ks64
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFQUUtZjNl
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IVkLD8OpM
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6rfxSFkJl
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMmhAJQISI
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1NFF5Xb0T
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ewPK1moa3
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPxHqLlSPA
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3AZMhERb8
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMjYutH5Km
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCKSxnoLPu
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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkagPHyjHG
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoWnNvrBPx

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPXGNohs3y

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJHLseK00x
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gBuazHHaT
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." 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GZYLVeX8s
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tgk3NJqbl
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg0UqgyIeN

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6NGy5zp1G
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFzutKnbUF

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUc6CKeiUc
"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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpwsyAQeSa

"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqI4qA4toI

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwsI1dBBur
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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGihdCWxwSx
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk824sq8ffv

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?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtiLBI08Gd

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhAg7d7dqG
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:289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9eUIkIkxf
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeh2HPuVsX
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Jc7grPdI
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm76WhMtQ7
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIZAHyK7V8
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyv2NKhJ9h

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQJWMFQKtp
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXvrvDz159
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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45BxME2PSN
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfipWWB8G8
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxjsRW2fc4

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvg6iJ8vYp
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIzkivVZfc

Namatama quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and stood up. She looked in front of her and the woman in black had disappeared.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ293xr8jBbn

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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfVc1waBp

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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnNtrn6mH1
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf9e72dGsL
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpMkH1jqhJ
"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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo8njDmvys
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQxC7Ypa8f
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIduRTOBly
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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfp9wJVcCT
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2KVVPKyAZ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sfHYAlzRA
"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?" 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaKCEmAmek
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY4CkiYpzo
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08kBZnNLm1
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbQAJKvwfa

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKMdTkgPqU
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3RPtU4tmB

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf5plfq1i1
"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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxilDOqw1bJ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fgQ1jhein
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26mORwKC6D
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalVZvkhrSp

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03dHnBfGVJ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MKp14g5E6
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYWHWKK8HY
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajw0aN0Fv9
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UQXVkS6Qw

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKFIFektH3
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCpm5k28Hr
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlYHy9JpWS
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit0zf97p9r

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaKB8YUAck
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUb2fRHRCB
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvVzp9veOq
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrgXCRTFqd
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelvOjEiSSK
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8G1wv9lSI
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2e6kxN0rh
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uQXgTAb8h

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IdUuZrzEa
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPdZftXtgA
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIll3P8fpl
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7ktQmA6XJ
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzhPUeDMps
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5kONq5Zwx
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPPkwfXY9P
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhilbiVYSa
"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?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ymqt6OdC
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb556djUCO
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hMmqPM1tB
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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f5mz0cj8U
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHweuRiZQmO
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0g5Z96o6x

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhBDJ0YSFe
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcrA3lvoex
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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVzoadJgfF
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MgqRSJJfp

"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. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauAMSLZLdN

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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r11Dhf70v

"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hwpcU0lAG

"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUGUElAlaP

"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?"289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bMZjNXhXJ

Lucifer dragged Mutale back to his seat, making him land onto the chair. This time, gently.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2dFHRzuN6

"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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhNVNPP13x

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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJKuLBoNZ6

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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwaTEE0Agg
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM97xJik5k
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlED6b4XHfh
"What does this mean?" I asked Lucifer as I pointed at the other names. "I can’t seem to recognize the words."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yjMBIPPrl

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZhC6ljDrV
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbVvcmVAhK
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKjwYKNcpi

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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4DK4gtUE3
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfYTFKJQ8N
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD62n6dZcvu
"He’s right," said Lucius. "I'm not surprised if he so happens to have sent the shadow monster after you."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL1k48IZ2I
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYGaJGXmBp
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPGL6vnJ0w
"I’m worried about number 2," said Stella. "The thought of Him sending a shadow monster after Diana creeps me out."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCQYab0qLn

"Don’t say that," Mutale spoke up. "He can never do such a thing. That book says nothing but lies."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuPIRJu16z
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREgPY37ykf
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiK2N2bIFo
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjaRA0e6LE
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw28rhpQs8

"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqU31YSvLi

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjKeqDYqQG
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclMdkOSkWn
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5PxfdQlZB

My heart felt at ease. Stella looked relaxed and Mutale exhaled in relief. 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRzsHM0ijK

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0yi0WPJC

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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAnMdxLwHr

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoPb8oOIjh
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wyc304aTT
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarm0sZCevg
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzni4bjRHQp
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVuJk8Rgat

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.289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWcANkXW9X

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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlu9omrn10
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Gdj5kIu0

289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0tODMXgSE
"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."289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrKiy2XsLk

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:289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpKIGTSuXT
