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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHFKu6ngY9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lfrAue1na
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJf0FMBG3
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQiaYtYj6X

"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?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtKtPRs1tD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHZ6wwW10f
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtkVQ45u2V
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjbKQFuV3L
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqx24c5cqX
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy5L8Qg7Yc
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48q5MFl55w
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzOyUlx6Uy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6A5xUxTpU
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YheQUxatW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNXc3ndNxx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNLcRRUB7e
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYOGu6p0SO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjAnFHoG5c
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH961SXHaXV
"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLBdtzUH55
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalXFb98fJ9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQiAUVKKgi
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HbTFaW2F8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83TvEqz49g

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonNUeCtxOV
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTrKBJ60ML
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiGIizWLJY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKnvcm6Z8J
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD1dBp42M2
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡialZvoLdg9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYQBdvTEC5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgifXYZdyB
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxasmToK5tz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUANgqPz60Y
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuV23qK04Z
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7iiU9e6do
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLtm6GxR9d
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSum20bxEY2
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Pd3SPPOJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULtNZDqOJz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAX9aqlZFc
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGIpRMWbKs
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcufxJwQWy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcrwc71fF6
"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9pxmBJGKj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS3FoQ45zV
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURUZwbDI1f
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbAVjZx0St
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3lkwW1y4t
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL8QOlnUAM
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2UUVLYtpr

"Didn't you talk to her a day before? If anything were to happen, your mother or Katy will let us know."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQi5Hywbke
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeleUnlCXJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDqkxuxZmy
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFPENqBXQj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZsaUtDxr9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4De6tEupoV
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4S0elKHlI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigytLykObv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPU2GUVptG
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgq6gzkF0E
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWQqsYB5wk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGBcOKlmTi
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSECZEHm3QW
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf1QoAWRrk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws0fxhg9qE
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvYje7ph7B
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEs1nyxqNw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBqYCU8aP4
"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?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9dedNaJ18
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ADN54qcp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtfZox9RQC
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfcSYOt4yk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKHFvkGT2d
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW73MxchrS0
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy6aJbKey2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOvkRqHEhI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwjEuvvTRM
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIEnkXvpNA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P3YVs6Rck
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRL6KNUp7O
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wg4XUKwjG
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u1SINYENp
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKHAGL5ws

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRnjKKdTH5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS0ACIWDWK
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4uOAb5RLT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAXFnVldiC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWleGHHkNL
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnubDR1xfwy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhh2XRa7N9
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LiCH6qpZE
"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." 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39POr9nvOT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELMsSDZXDS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFF08txg9Z
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. 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzHx6lHxup

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BXEOpPyiQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHSMqcfBHR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFTItIllfC
"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." 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbwUM2Z4UC
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7ox3DR7A4
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunX57lGtVP
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmikbhLgelv

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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6LR2U83mx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebHdPT3siZ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZgLJp6Xbx
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI6qfZoqrN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpdOip2gIU
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYmwsURbF1
"I must be imagining things," she told herself.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbrlorUHvv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3NYGScRut
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaiThm0NIh
"And what if you aren’t?" came a voice.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSeGNjnji6
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oPl6H9rjL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtgbkwaZW0
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP72uh3EhH4
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gbt4EPy7E
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKEAwWQEXH
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPpE9Q48iM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU70i5pRTjD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPN3h6TZdx
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7IeRysEeD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunU5xpAPjk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr064HPyBKE
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nyQX2kL7j
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MakNhd3vB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW0etZboM6
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0QAX6znw5
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr026wTCcs8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHKTlAKLRf
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O321bY5II
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeEZE5oAd0
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wp5x3Tlc6
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Iy0chadv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOxETQJZ6F
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRkWcQavyB
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBVH6b7wfv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNn9suHcQk
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohuI2S19l1
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8qncuWARR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgRoi4Bwjh
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1KODIDtH6
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rMT44UURV
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2QfNe2zYs
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXoPJ0RMqK
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaorQjaKoGI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51oizPKgAJ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiquaUHdjQW
Namatama’s eyes widened. "What do you know about Diana?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpokTRF5Nz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WHwQcAyIL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzQuIIl8Vl
"A lot more than you, that’s for sure. Diana is a very special child. You should know that."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnkkvziexx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF818UdCARB
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8oUJCB8bZ

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp6QTnG2gu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZRQwOYkmK
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." 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlunG5tEaS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqYLKDlkPS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE4rJtvsFG
"Get to the point. You came here after such a long time to talk to me, and it’s about Diana. Tell me, is she in trouble?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrQ01t0zYZ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDGtY6JuYA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T5QZuClKg
The woman smiled as she backed away a bit. "It’s not good news, I’m afraid."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5auHDG3X4
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8t9xvhKtt
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI0sEjg6m7

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqshMnb9Gy
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmja2xUkcf2
The woman stopped smiling as she sighed. "Her destiny is catching up to her. It has been for some years now."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUKoGZ3RX9

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTWTTwwD6q
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR20icyt0Mj
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5gGjl8p7v

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XhS9d4rKd
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVzfoFOM6T
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDclepYte6

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5qMEK0m6w
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab8R7vboIu
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbquAoLrlaj
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6MlfmVzka
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXciPBiTgPz

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7B6fvTZPM

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP5PNvugoY
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?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU4xIMTQTZ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWS5zgXYpT
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEOwUKjbrJ
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:352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV6lODLgsu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzrTVU5SPu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VrmZu3wPJ
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoyCPRWJTn
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVip0fvbcE
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHnvrMqce5
Namatama looked up at the woman. "You claim Diana is strong. How strong when she’s just a young defenceless girl?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQomBtV9Bb8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqamtIKgSUN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVx9XfoXfJ
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx8tFDrWgl
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dAudL0fCS
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBD4rUv5l5

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gQzd2aGne

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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPes6TVgiW

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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6iubUuUcg

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

"Yes. But…," he now stood up from his seat and went to one of the bookshelves in the room. "There are a few requirements that you’ll need."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW910fwpzDC

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRRl2EK3Qz
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6cT3qROXf
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQwcgonu0o
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWE8bPvymk

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmdRIVfrBL
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWMC8X9Bix
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. 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlOrzj52Xi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy4QW9Y0Pv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeIdURWYaD
"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?" 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxStiAj4l8X
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfrKafZmhu
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYzkOUrzq7
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKNu7qUHZj

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC35JZois7
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRVr1tjjX2
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KZWoittKz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pm29T57Eu

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bew9RFkJc
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbUzZK0TKY
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcAz70DFfi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5WxCj5ner
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVfOjYCscO
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS67HpvuwTn

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINL9jyXCnY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb0S11odje
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh8Tgb2u78
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc1b4WHX7s
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcxxS6a4Xk

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfsbSi6CTH
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBknQOLDpm
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSdrFar2Jl

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtIZMMwOyo
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ku0N7ojW
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t1czzTnVI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wwDTycOw3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXxA51JeCM
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoOl2pBdSe
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0k6CVocK2
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwpCQwuSxC

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhtyxFZLqf
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm6YOGn2gA
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rZbf6q2Mx
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn4CCgh8xz
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYWVXwUoCW
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lA0Z7lnDr
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhYogXc0wv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkT1FXjhJU
"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?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKTtObkoOv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ8BO1bAAA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEkEd3Xrwh
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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHqLulYwhw
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSpVaGrHfY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirzNI2mIbE

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuTJw7wpIY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnayjtJubZ
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEh3LqDOdi
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv96VTnBZ5b

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMSNJipxEP

"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. 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP982xbe7s

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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuVr5TfKXv
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S813j2KpY
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYor8kq1eJL
"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYi1JOpQ3F

"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNG14J8fXb

"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?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxZPqlShC5

Lucifer dragged Mutale back to his seat, making him land onto the chair. This time, gently.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrGo4lIbhE

"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0iNwiT8LK

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9EzhFbgVx
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneGWOlxjV4

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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLreP94BfNN
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQDFyHNCxg
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EdJSGnSvV
"What does this mean?" I asked Lucifer as I pointed at the other names. "I can’t seem to recognize the words."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWKbCJe9i2

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtLFRpPBzA
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHBLAyaVq3
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgDaNQmq0X

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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw9aRSQlDR
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsqaycuQI8
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cgJKPpln1
"He’s right," said Lucius. "I'm not surprised if he so happens to have sent the shadow monster after you."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqrz01eb44
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37184s1EQM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf1PoR1XA4
"I’m worried about number 2," said Stella. "The thought of Him sending a shadow monster after Diana creeps me out."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qqw1PryBN

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw93EPfpGz
"Don’t say that," Mutale spoke up. "He can never do such a thing. That book says nothing but lies."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPROB3pAszD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumMVMRMEzb
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6aNKGHQhE
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJERcwLkkSZ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz33QGtb9s
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE6jgifKT7
Everyone now turned their attention to Lucifer. So did Mutale.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKaOTKHkhp

"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp3b7T0WSR

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEK5LC4dkO
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHUSSIRmpJ
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASEwJUWB6w

My heart felt at ease. Stella looked relaxed and Mutale exhaled in relief. 352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxufisqI0V

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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TESJ9CsA7

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQGT8QfG6q
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVsQicWYXQ
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NsMRk9cuM
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92wKRfZWZP
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsyK7T0b05

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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r8Ofxsotb

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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxW0Vwoo65
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRXP26T1cU

"I’ll help serve you," said Stella as she stood up and approached the tray. "Now that I think about it, I’m starving."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk97ZIB6wKD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVSfd8pWKD
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwegfyVjF9l
"I’ll have some cookies and tea, please," said Mutale.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QR8lnNXVp

352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlujXYmWpzB
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2HtlvC6R9

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:352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mtwgdxRj8
