333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijlJrdfhjy
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjmFDBRaDM

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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff57Y6GkbP

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V7Xu161xE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyNJLapWqI
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOuUytgtKg
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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOQR4LPMoE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WMSuCUSdv
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXSk1z10H5
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡily56eInTV
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEB9eIOPcQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxaOLbsulo
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4DIypgHJ8
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5ZJDUB7Qf

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i3hqGgUKk
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KpQc9r1J9
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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF7dLciGRi
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4g3T7OCqz
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozo6xhwuzT
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XefHjNaac
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNeFFxRdKR
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQNWDH79Rx
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0k1SydLCc
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlK1J62711
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEihMzNxZes
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWppDSx0Kds
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0sB53gZiQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gBYpi6Mdg
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKh54TDrkH
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqEtNXZV7v
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YohaN0kYo
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiftiC5vh3
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIDcEcRNZj
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rfc6jhjku
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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q9DLqOuC1
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy0fnhU4XB
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HAtK4H6QM
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmNoTcfexV

"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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBRXgRYNZp
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSQ8qGuP8I
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kUoZi8zye
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqX67FSDlu
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMKExRZJwk
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6XGobr0S6
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRrBaPYRWf
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLITQwuSelT
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIX0grutPD
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVIcuE9ffM
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitpzxLRffh
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlehrahD6bh
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jf10htf7I
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX0erR8A8W
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLirAl7kmD
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgDjONRrWy
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgdCDZkriC
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbwRFi8h3A
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nQqYSPGIY
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9kZdOzAu1
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW9m29T34h
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB42ZjVFAUd
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EuvkQ1wm1
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoAZO0vqRS
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M7AcGSyM1
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SK7J1Cl1v
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJnk9LP4bt
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFvw3Mb3bj
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wntY0GWeN
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePPldPcz9b
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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg32gyBzsR
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vHqgzJ07U
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ogN6PECPl
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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDvx7lFEue
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQVYbup5CP
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15xwAKfoEh
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhkpZWmAq8
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe1YO5mXJk
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHWpOHvZHC
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4XuFVdIjM
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCQoiptDH8
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI75KHJtvFc
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsClh5vBbf
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ7WX7CZEM
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrob1Jx8THW
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqq0QfeURW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMgSC0sXzi
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XhWBzig5M
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj38L6LqRwz
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37UWL4SCUq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr0H6WGpyt
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qDtUEdfdl
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSigDeXAYl
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ZG7lVW6b
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdIRl69DMI
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuW93x4KlN
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG7TUaVi2T
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGdYa1dyZR
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8XRiwtUzp
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlzHtcsUbn
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75CYItxSPu
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOjZGJBw8Y
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGVQ1H6TX5
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpScGXNf6s
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0NrRjRNDh
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVbjfW2z4Y
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6tnkqmxy
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbXAyCM96N
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRtPLpMzE
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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTdRYmTAP
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZExYgEHtv
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3tUPhz7K0
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWBL7vPojK
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYUNSaqoRD
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ8fAXxHUr
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPqg2w4elB
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz3lUex8XI
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1tNPSUsaX
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzUsvLz70i
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK4PQJbMg0
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEhja4eJdJ
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPhY3YK1gY
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpijo3R5hXw
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28jp872k0W
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzf5HeaSbh
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WYB4q4oL2
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzeoa6ywGN
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaWvlAL6CH
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlTpARBDEQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUd3pTA1QE
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBFyX0Z2qe
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ5E5D5Exo
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb0Jb98BBW
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sbW5bRlzl
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdka6sO6BV
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUJZ9qfAiZ
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGthuOwWZCB
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqyOJnzVqv
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXIZ9i5ORv
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyJ9XLR5Se
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LcVvlwSXV
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEZqv8ufnj
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7NOu1OGu
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16HSZOP1DQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY8MmvdBP9
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVOwEhXUEW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gaAcvPtH3
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0APytBdpPm

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHrvshnTff
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3navp3BGk
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauSagJOB3c
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7TyoYBBTS

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91ngrr7WOQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSmGmKwtsu
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIOOrZJR7q
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8774LPY9d
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD8R7RYT5z
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLcDOgholT
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiurge0nEte
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVgDpk0JH6
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyplQRIkj8
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM9OND0s6o
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TG07ZZ491
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna0cneObS3
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM41gboxqU7
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Du8u4vHko
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqo2u8yPW2
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfX6zci5PG
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqJnsE8rle
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4qU80KWmu
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGvEruLMI9
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVlcGDfuAE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqYoxfanOP
"You, of course."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5t2zWv2dn
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lGHlSrcKN
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaitVUXxwXY
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbT96fjSk1
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalXiV2oGEW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA4liH4gsG
"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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHFWfCqeoi
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdohvCCthJB
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkkMJyGaEV
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q1IGygqo7
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxQJcMQ8mn
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvuYwHZHT0
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jgkEp6XQe

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo0Z7f7i9O
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgqUZyQpL8
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3iiCE7f7y
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2WW2XRJRs
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaSS9yANUi
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEYCXLNqBr
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVYLiwWmQF
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLOc2iJi3O
"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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn3lLgHLIs
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfHkwcwzyH
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDLAP6rftt

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqAy70OFNw
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YI9TJC9Ur

"I like the way you put it, Diana," said Lucero. "I would like to stay and chat, but you and I have a date."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT414StXy4
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyPrpaDZ2G
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYyUuI5abM
"I'm not going anywhere with you, Lucero," I said. I felt ready to light up my other hand.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLzkmi6fxY

Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zU5qWKg5C

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN8q25lICA
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNcKidOjCX

"Love triangle," Lucero answered as he turned to look at Stella. "Well, you look stunning. Sorry for pushing you aside earlier, beautiful."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vCawLl23m
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mxUIbWrDD
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRhvX3p3uE
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV4bTIktUz

"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4IrYrSAes

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2ECpdCGWQ
"Please, you complain about me when you're the one who started this when you got kicked out of heaven," said Lucero. "I just happen to be following in your own footsteps. You should be proud."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr93EGlfjqA

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaj6AN0pnZ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCNDTAoVk1
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3ZZyCNNNJ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mXzoi53SW

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwiqPdHpVT
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt80dYfBqAX
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xPSy7ABg6

"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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltp2wroF9S

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQLJt3Lozb
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMXEVupKhu
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynTP3FOKTW

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADfCjYFr0q
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrltYXrDqJ
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NpOVH2Rqz

"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. But like Diana pointed out just now, we've got bigger things to worry about."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvGzfgZkOL

"Let’s forget about this, Lucero," I said. "No matter what, I’m not coming with you. And if you really want to protect me, then we better be thinking of dealing with the Golden Elite and whoever sent that shadow monster after me."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDIC972I8N
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVPw4sf30f

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W2Bgec6Nn
"If I’m soft, then you should've just dragged her out of here in one fell swoop," said Lucifer. "But just like any mortal man, you’re quickly led by what’s in your pants."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA5W0FhuP8

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2LMr0w2bi
"Since we’re talking about desires," Lucero licked his lower lip so seductively, and he ran his hand through his hair. "Then you aren’t well-informed about mine."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcGZ0xEK9d
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc8IsOHMHS

"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSytEuJNai

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.

"Now that we’ve reached an agreement," I quickly cut in before Lucifer would say something vulgar, "why don’t we all go to the study and work out a plan? The last thing I need is for me to create a war with the Golden Elite on this beach."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xwy0PfQ9k

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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogkvvNNays

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GqTTBK94Y
"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. It’s not like it was before. Did you do something to yourself?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncszZ2oD2A

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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KYAS1zoJI
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPMucwIgiy
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckSfILMIdV
"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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IzU46VNj
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40kB93sqT1
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaCy5ivMMM
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zayu8i9hZ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqtbPDXDrU
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pVL7Q7YCQ
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9l1ZGOINU
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYL2NhJnQB
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6I2F8Oq2K
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbLpjPoNAN
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4NCRUeL6R

"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlrqMEdlJY
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pd3LjhiKZ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1hNGJGo4O
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZKiolwYNn
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAVBcyuNcb
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaiX4N537Z
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2AOYDqUSv
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid6dZi2qlp
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXYE2PxCA8
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwisGF5pbo
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr49sX0ha5
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2JDZGRWJE
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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOSCMmORRC
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2WBCvl5VA
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2hzUJE5Td
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?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5JWUU1biq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lKAc4Di4W
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gvNxpKFUQ
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJWvqpjNqf
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTPMXrfwBT
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipl6JDfaLp
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGVo5p6B4o
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m2cm2dQvr
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMOuPC7vqC
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05PMLNSf8L
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJuTuN7iOB
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY6stvq95y
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfZQtIcp7f
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0jBsdfWod
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKgsdCuWFB
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7R1Q607Vu
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKO7uA4HiV
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnD0wotEmI
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSdW3A9JUE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYyZYFKnfM
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gHJ3ayWGm
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6lSIJzcoq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKphOWP21vi
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh2Bi2PGPd
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5gz3plrTR
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yojonOMXs
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnvqxyMKjr
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8ikKiIk5C
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ99pYVcOP
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g9FJkTk4Z
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fij2Tl0k3
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUqx8KSaNl
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeTsH7OXzG
"Same here," said Lucero.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVo8wuPfJh
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YnXbIuwQB
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa3DjoTQEa
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?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0wiA4r4Av
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYINWj42R7u
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65wtXRA5fb
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?333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZBzkVtANE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgy0M2bu0I
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uEfLh3ZgY
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9yJLERU25
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWMz158552
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbImpCwL1Li
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iXXEokuYL
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDECrjhwTn
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXqS4c3TTY
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg0SidMujt
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVt7C61kgy
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJqB0dkmf8
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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhl6wtZYNV
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdQqxhrQR0
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVoJJqo1jE
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9rQICKsez
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Tz3X7Esp
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHbTmV1xAA
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDlZkWS3Gv
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXcF4BZQaG
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQcQavTqdX
"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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJEDCSTMYY
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYMQoJ0gue
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhTATvICYy
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGNxU1tRs
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsiC7z78Au
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xU0m175LR
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDSuWy1oqe

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gjv015hcs
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu5d9AzTex
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V8G0k8igd
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7YhlruRzn
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAenxpvVWo
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YN8BJrm60
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGaHCGYWIE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJoM7hPMe1
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkidppukxW
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsDJWjmYMC
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi83YCbyiMS
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3GFTqPkWf
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUmr1sHhjx
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDSv0FEIOq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoe6S5YZbs
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtRz12PqTq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSAfIzK2M8
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRo31Zdast
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?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkLLhC7U0t
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKMBv6Igl3
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh7ExjEa6i
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClHi31ky6a
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKfK6Gd8KT
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKNVNdofQA
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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFuwMxV9ye
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EDJxxErzf
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP6pPYsTYH
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKUDdSyk7p
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25KB9JqKWx
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7enZkmedbg
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ThgmJyBJ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb3qMmzdhr
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CsaZPBkct
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN5Cy6f4vS
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SztKszjlv
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyjWwudBHE
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTovJ0jDwu0
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni9vKI7lPe
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WbqsTChcj
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTPFQJE7Qc
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPmQQh0jfl
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa6x0lS3zn
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OmhUtBBlE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU7P2UlyBR
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSUO1aWWIj
"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."333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJJTk4ZC8W
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFbpf2lnYx
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkpdr9AUlK

333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuIejm1ufq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpSruVTZwT
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.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIv2zSDpmQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmnNNRKZDh
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcs41l3VZe
