447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V6X3KHJOO
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqf5LMuTzX

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqZMeYSp5T
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcboCj8KE5

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA5sV1aeOt
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF8qcl5LVu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PW282o0Lh
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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf77s82bTrc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUZk6wJGOa
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGe0zDOBKi
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2TbPlRmrd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7hgOnjUIB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb2Ci3twG6
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA8McTCsmY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt3WdWPsYc

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTEHX62SjK
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwJ0wdNYlp
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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnnTwhOCiv

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeToWXfToV
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMUEnAl3x5
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn5E2WVke8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeRE8cnAsb
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa15xz5GT1
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM4aRsLdvY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmomiEcrB0v
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0acmBViW9W
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftQ4WsYYR8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDrOvD9sXt
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i01D3wrcb
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQztwoVG5c
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡainaI7kzO5
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwXsS53g58
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde5ByJd3zS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvRULSFVpC
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?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHc9LVVQhY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyyhkkuT9m
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdzvfO1yQt
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQa1mu8jz9

"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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtEtgc4joy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4QKPTGfT0
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n2npJxmEM
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9SNkBrPEo
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCvqCXmXeC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGEBZGXMD2
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8VrZZueG6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcHj9VkVdj
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadtc1ZStVD
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoCYg03E1R
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcHK6Iu7Fd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfAcUMhA0j
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEiO3YfUSP
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVEVVBAkyL
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv0G7hpgcK
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxifnbzqi5m
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbCYEoyPdh
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgokpyauZ0k
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMUFy9nC78
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuPNNz1TPl
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuEmwAFQF3
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e4z00lncy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQlbnXj1ef
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv8HFE15FK
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPKe95qcLA
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUUCSwwjN7
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6bZNtYYZL
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0qmimV3AR
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLlziaNLOZ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FeLcS8KU6
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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovk5JkSjkQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUXwBsjb8f
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwEMrzXewW
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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxgagMtxuo
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zo3s3Kfug
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DAm3GxSzY
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNKnruMwcj
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIb8iQXVYR
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo46fM0O5h7
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39jNkIkSeC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFHPdQCNjX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43AElcut8v
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTOwWHGJop
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyGhFEcymY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa77umRB1H
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A86zyiy45
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXv8r3Fdn6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0zgRWawGb
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi7QwbLk4j
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyPApw4QQY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONwR5zN9Qe
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsJ4Mi0Z4q
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQHBhjgLMM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbFmrsXEaz
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYsMRjOXH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVawPRpqVl
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVzJtAqmok
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyCiTjRwqT
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJz3R6AYwO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5DO0i8EtU
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNueK9IPtVx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8BoDSAG30
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1TLjRcPwM
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcltsdxSTV
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XfXSTi7RI
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuYa3q6z80
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAZ3HPGHRw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7Km4lVAk5
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNXvix0yxC
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?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3zVng3kbv
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk5KSqjInu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aBJLvDVIO
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcBBgrLft
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6NAkXI501
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbWcYcnfmC
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQUhIhCm00
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjOpD9TC2w
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCCVif0vmH
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFyArvYpOx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9kjWtkUBr
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoEj6QZj7u
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHaL5WREX3
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAfw1Pproi
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BJWslgJGz
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvQH8nd5bw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj6ymjyG8P
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg7sNYOciu
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsC3YFHgZy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5v4O7P9RF
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvShv2So8j
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIgXYt7UAB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjetqNXBji
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HZMAADVwo
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK33nRcl6mi
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KxYDs7XP2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXGL8EzlqV
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWDA99exPI
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCXYR3mjkg
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5kF8hirZF
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF82j7Bp2NO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4cTwUsEfD
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkPX1zKX59
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI92eDUyEQO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Qh0YLpLn
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpO3rb0RIT
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXCzafOvsX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBl1URNKZN

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hcg2ONfuU
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gMQ8SYpIH

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthb3eXY39k
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPbiok4til
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmqskmwjQa
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqCsH5PSkK
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcygdcv5dHF
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsxeTCyf55
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f9l7g0c8b
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLtg2gIyKV
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM1RgrubJD

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO8RvM5pG0
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4FPnxcnxt
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ny52V01cQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJHGtVKa36

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROmsWZx48n
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPepguob2O

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYbcxd9g2y
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ8V1MylTS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI84bBXIGx5
"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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdiMMVKnk8

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gtr3Al84d
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80gqgmV5Ny
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRvmeUxEFb
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rOLtLpNcc

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb50GlMsA0
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65LrvYOjIX

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wk2dK2C6m
"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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCngfVnhVsg
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAfiVPH0qk

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ6KPrPaQb

"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP6LcJ9F3R

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8obQcZ49e7
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ11ahZK6k1
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p3vfP7KAp

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLZFl3DwK
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtc7DzAUNH
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W69i4Wmjk

"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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggBzCmEGxd

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubQLacUbYW
"You aren’t protecting me if I continue to run. I need to face the problem. If you must know, I've got a shadow monster after me, and I don’t think wherever you take me is going to protect me from it. That’s if there is always daylight.

Bingo. He does know what’s going on because he doesn’t look the least bit surprised that a shadow monster and the Golden Elite are after me. I thought I would be able to ask Lucifer why all this was happening. Lucero seems like he could, but he can be difficult. I look up at Lucius, and I start to wonder if his coming to see me was nothing but a coincidence and not because he thought the same as Lucero. He did look a little perplexed when I brought up the issue before Lucero suddenly appeared. However, you can never know.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YlwBlFwGN

"No one is fighting in my house!" Lucifer’s booming voice shook the whole house. "Are you crazy? Diana is already bringing an army, and you want chaos in my own house? You can go outside if you want.

"Then this house will just have to burn," I said, extinguishing the flames on my hands. "Lucius is right. 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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZgnwEFkVv

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.

"Well, true," he said as I noticed him raise an eyebrow. "But you had gone quiet for a while; a lot of people thought you were dead or had moved on to the other world. Your aura is different, too.

Lucifer opened the door to the study, and we all walked in. My eyes quickly searched for Mutale, whom we had left behind sitting on the same couch. Aside from his broken leg, he was perfectly fine. Lucifer didn't do anything sinister to him after all.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWLXoJIdog

"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?"

Mutale looks at me for a minute before saying, "We were told to capture you today, no matter the cost. This mission is far different from the rest that we’ve ever had with the supernatural.

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RIBMFL3O1
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvP68RHkxx
"So whatever the case, they will need you alive," said Lucifer, looking at me. "What do you really plan to do exactly?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNNu8tgSbY
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOsxlMn8Yo
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2aUXVonlo
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNkiRCuYED
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOdfK09oRR
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM14iukDoIN
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaTYOU7HCb
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpKrhRytLk
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOjiS7PkDj
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCist4hYGH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ocdoaFr5Y
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pZwOqRf6P
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4u0WM6MGI
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDczueba8TF
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Beapv77Il
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyphVAXyL4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSmSN32xWQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6gDehU3fB
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyS5eoyKzO
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IzPpO39JK
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdTjfIG5lc
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWfrFyBb8x
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAQvOf9PXv
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaz2ULaFiA
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?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSiKfn2Ev4
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5WdPjERKf
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDCrUlfPeM
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?447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkB6NNYp7d
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBfH2bHHfk
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLpujYRHft
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoceo2OdK3
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRcyUR56UC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKawd3Wazx
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaDWlQOc8o
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdG7XRCD0O
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3jtQrmp9C
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdAFUxlfNC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbfssVRls2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbAMtmgBCj
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2UukqZTab
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1FwkW89GX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxX2qdPyFP
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCyL5oVRWC
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTncjp6LZj7
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03jW0Z2g5b
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkWhoGG3tv
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqZK3a735P
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6TYewkj9r
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNWpU86sO1
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgtNnKT2bW
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoCTbBeevO
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kATEN5NZa
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Um6UCMIE
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7BQVIxxrk
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwtxIfU43w
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfio87MXrG
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEN8GxFLn2
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaoD9wJnLh
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCnod9TYNc
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MlbPEbZPu
"Same here," said Lucero.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyxFWspWtN
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQGaBQPopp
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXVIubscaS
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?447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsW54G3q23
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF15Zkcd0N
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXQJe3jCqf
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?447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OS3eIw9sW
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl99sjNfD1
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAvn0t0dFH
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLZRhh6BJJ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fLYGW1cvt
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVb19jLZNu
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWMDfpoCJm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡednIqi6Vz3
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuBIKv2HR9
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gt1VkfYXL
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO8wwBBegu
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfvP30YN06
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?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLg4MbmPoH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWetoHAjWgX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M4pgIIqnb
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKA4Q5xG8n
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BY4GKWBHX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9gTJzQBcu
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKwexbvo1J
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lsPzJIUNT
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTPA8FCPJM
"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?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Hy32At4C
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J2zGTw7F0
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYyGATwmmG
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOHquUmtW
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloYWV0FmVb
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqzhPPt0w8
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFAnHVknjZ

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXNSV0j3X2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4i65R4fL0
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYTu7IwaPz
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXN95pl9be
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil2M5uKg2k
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ9dsxWa2i
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidvKgY4a5L
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbCMQejtDH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sEdTDO4sJ
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVprYZxxjS2
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQhe6DEGZG
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzfysjBgi7
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBuiXN8UEM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhBWZ1LiIN
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8ACz7nRPn
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7TiHdVehD
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtmrFmSygm
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqUoB2ioGc
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?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82AfbzxstS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiAqEojjn8
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNe44L1amX
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZNpsvaAaw
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKGu6V9cA
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdbQSmweoL
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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDPstpEoUd
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGk2PMFp4W
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3JVedTqaj
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXQXlunlZQ
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIpt6z7tAM
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3bI3ZTGma
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK7MDRC28f
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvCBUcjl3y
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBDlERsqi2
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCAY2nUoeH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQzJUPUFz
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5NaVxst2n
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jYtnxyr7p
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CuggBurMy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5VkrIJrjw
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9JBcfSXZ6
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwhukxTI3d
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPzQbI3Rw7
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms6FiafuXn
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDNNLEThBH
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTHO80IZjq
"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."447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKOkunYMdI
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmvMvdWgX5
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR27TugXhvS

447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk75975yux
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVZPn747Yz
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23dGipHJ9s
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rHbOeRNZJ
