354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8j2zvwfTb
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVua6ULSvu

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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1NLVMmeGT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT6xuI5mhY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MROfLAwoz
"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ29BnL6Sl5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFnHNlAJqE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S3F7wpFNT
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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2WBTDWnTf
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEsKHgPMi1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoigTSyoeTr
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6DoiXUzib
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHaecoh6zF
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRLRnpdzBH
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B9ePwBpa8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIPXRyAhAO

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmjDLtZVgK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqFQ4wN4Kt
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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZrUOghaMs

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDhhURFnci
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKvkkvwupT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83sAAAp2er
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTseG4k6po
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTonuNn5lu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrRzBkotfu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8C8slX7hG
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc475HUwEou
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFS5lllAv9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1cdrame5y
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaeqIggFbG
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDeJFFoIaX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRl4OrWeU8
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmBnLkegcC
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAtJdleoKS
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcPnccXb89
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?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHVQjCo0Kr
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDykReLetH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5hatD6dFL
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn22qyiXTke

"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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjOuQrO25Q
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnb7yl5xfq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhe6BcOJE1
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdqSmXoUP1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGDYdLX43O
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XRAGejEbk
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGAtYRtpFL
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc35h36Nvh
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wuup7S1O7
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV65W0Cwbe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4TslxW5Uk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0mEdYZu8O
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNaWXX2f3s
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMmXISgvlG
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSMTguFq5D
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f6gsox6dy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIjY6bEd4f
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEfilE6BSZ
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEiuq07w1g
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRU8YBishe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer76ASghGT
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDCPhN4QIL
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH9qY4qAZu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP76eTI9kbr
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKsZN9l2lC
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHruvq870DC
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGJworP0UX
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYoB9jObq5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjdpFSgfTA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY66gvFJtYe
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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wn3N9fUqH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzmz9z5t6P
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ802dGZrjQf
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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb96QZzaOWK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6nof92hCJ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wphiQFzAY
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMDjDKCKFP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfjDLc7fie
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHWD7bp64J
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZU9XcZFoR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTERpSzc6e
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy63r2C912o
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVRwkHyGbB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FCyhGHS1R
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYjLuX6Lvx
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGosSyFHNO
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxgbaOHDwU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yhtOMFjwO
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZlcXLSXAu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUQjolEvKE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCReLGU58qC
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6NlphQiPy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡun2qqbIMZy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuROozaDLM
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fkBf10qLb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonLEgaEUXI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW74f6hemd
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmgdPCTPth
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC3IOPveH0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNibaHy3tN4
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqUpJqURIW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcGqDr2D19
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzk2SxrlnD
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3uJ8H6Hjv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pFt1yEuDt
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7BwwEjPL7
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5yvIXxSK4
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WRy2GHMZe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6HUrqvvb1
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?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4wgT9m9eP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgudszdKe5M
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOZ7WDLm6a
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z9gBSBXiT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEZa61xkBT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGvflqOZme
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pg0lCCp0z
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXSSwQ5pyq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8cwhG3RX6
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPXQp7WXNW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQuD26pjw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtGKTTuGtu
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHmPiY2TE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAHE6yyjjy
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ7EUkRkgV
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySbVm1qyhc
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGFIKtydQQ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboqG24B1W9
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqDxqzDh8S
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRx8eQ94by
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk4my9LezX
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7K74Y5dCP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9pPoeygDV
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMaSccPO02
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXccQo20jIR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWouZi09MH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMPMW0CYPQ
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3bsEwyUpA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaDJsnfWJU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqvTqQMCNW
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQKcb6mWDv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbDdDgOUDz
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHrDJacUYh
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9BAoXklqH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavjUwt2n64
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLr6xggYwS
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGMzQ6ETGK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq8GjFncQs
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa24XHpwLXI
"Guys, you better move out of the way," I warned.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ao5Zf18ep
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPmmUyQCgk
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QxaOdxEzQ
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnzeLhBTsx
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPb6kg6Gol
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrzBJud7v3
"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWCQmq37hP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaaODDXnAi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxixGP8koB
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrZQGNvkBl
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOUAbnYlSR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumIm5JiPtk
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh5s7LMLWd
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvDZAVAvVh
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKim6zAAKZT
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKZt9fSAaZ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4DD02OKYj
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDvMhilOJg
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpfp7E7wj0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1WhYCMdnN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kzcKcgIzY
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUL1zQ8GLD
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdWRDcW9NI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3qVsBY3zz
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfhR5A7TOz
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEVyqYdi2l
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQejpzhubKc
"You, of course."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGuGln62Rg
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9tLdMLlOq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDoYFV5IFi
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl846Prvof
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgDbaKBZJP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOiCXYqWgD
"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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60vwUwaXP9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlMQ5NNO8h
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrFKfO4fy0
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0iIawUJJ9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DHqaH8nhq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy8yYwtj1R
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdJA4dwkMV

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvlEq1Xldg
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffagwjnkCJ
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZxCbeEJKQ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihWuPU3wre
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XRIWgXIJs
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaavDQkNpe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡespv6RwMOn
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEehNSxmpt0
"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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrdrx3nBvX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEnp3TSJ8Y
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrsdn1WbEP
"He's more of the black sheep of the family," I said, my eyes still not leaving Lucero.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gDCPZobBn
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS69zbfnGB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq9JyI8qdH
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFMQebVrQv

"I like the way you put it, Diana," said Lucero. "I would like to stay and chat, but you and I have a date."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKFYVVCq5I
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JjdQeryJx
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHnlgcW3wT
"I'm not going anywhere with you, Lucero," I said. I felt ready to light up my other hand.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrHFKSk0sd

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT4Jrx0WER
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUELqxWzmGZ
Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXVpBQ8Jgt
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5AIXDNp7y
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3sN5XNTyQ

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYj7NAPLd2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoyBNbxqPT
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd3lNi79ij

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Uju6if41V
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0B8xw7Nf
"Love triangle," Lucero answered as he turned to look at Stella. "Well, you look stunning. Sorry for pushing you aside earlier, beautiful."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYiy29p85m
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t5ZOPAbvJ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0VpcRVdt5
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyPoTKUemg

"Don't fall for his spell, Stella," I warned. "Once you do, there's no telling what he could tell you to do."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK00NLMpQNk

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWtu6pVVZN
Stella shook her head a little, as though she were waking up from a dream. "Wow, I nearly fell for him there," she said. "Thanks, Diana."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAZLWuXyEy

"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2uJQYzSHa

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYcYyn0XwT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACrZTaCjy1
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3DnZ12KT5

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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbIlWlcMwi

"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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPurgtME6Z

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WUvXdtmo4
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKEIL1CXY3
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqOpZYbxGN

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV8YS6SHax
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncU92uX6Wf

"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.

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqfBZo6B4k

354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnqSmo4o8z

"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhPJCiBdCf

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.

"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?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TjtxFSrzT

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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOthkB8AdH

"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?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK02tuaQHqI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbD7cZFxLE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfLs9nwgFD
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF518waQSr
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKzW1jKEGY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBV3mHu0Rs
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURD6PJynU6
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTKuZlOsV1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZqp8I4xH
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStMZV68n9j
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr3BJRCzZD
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhH3V30Vnf
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gsAX1B1Dw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDY5XMuu9e
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pKR44stUv
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNZBgdvJQT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRvkSpzLvZ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnENbcimYS
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sLwkQEkXE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2StZmEnhk2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhgc8NEGWm
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfQB6ORlkF
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzkqibeRLv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f4Y2sqavt
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?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6RUYRnqIh
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtzgyv8CvH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4kRpMjE4y
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?354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgKw1U1cL
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVhvEtJNZ2
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY4quHgRfn
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MjYZXwpiV
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw5ga2fLgu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOszjhbjMR
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSXiIcDo4G
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudClfLTbCV
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA2mfwD2oU
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuwU6R7cO0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cd3NKF9Df
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChsZuAp4wP
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8waFRMLeKU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OaWfepl9U
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNevHQzPD3W
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7lgJkRlbp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwiqcoJTFF
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik6J30Re8D
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8kNYY8KK4
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzJQXEpyQ0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceteKRkW7C
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9UNDxYj4y
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pL127nhXD
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63JFGXm5Rk
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mFinBECBE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKlzs7T48k
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rVpElp6iv
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9vfbV8Kks
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtA0HR1Wis
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWFV9mDNUq
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8GKEY5fjx
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPU2T0JMUP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHty1LjMI0u
"Same here," said Lucero.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rc6jghyPY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2EPhyshYT
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgKvi1tdgC
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?354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIjXh6iXb7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwEpTzaWGH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8DBJExytP
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?354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFEqnDpdlV
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmCY7nPjgm
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIuwuoMToM
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTadlUjeyK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaDWcWKNWi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0T7h3mAZ0
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4KcWW7WLI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16AdzB7TCE
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZasA5rFgI9
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXFkUrtbNd
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBkWLc95pe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTU7FtRMAG
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?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxYLIMFnNP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWqIkA9PiH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ci5gX52hC
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS9haWlEzc
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pwZbUQC8h
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH0IL080WO
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSgNvNi8NN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvZGxOkqC3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM23OKGsxg4
"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?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlACZkg0aBi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNYRkMknfi
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujqLASewmN
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA6aws8HDJ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFKY5KTSOn
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOaxvL4Khm
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2nf2Xz2uf

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4sPYrZ5jN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Lo1FwEZ1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y9ttsYCdG
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh3a3nKiSX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ocs9XiXKX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u2JJrzFzn
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHzQ7i1AMw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MnpdWl5sx
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS032y8ZSl2
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvXTXr2t9U
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo4CX6iToj
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpeA0bShRL
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJZ787Y9BV
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkWmsuPw3l
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTEwbW32eY
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapgsR4ozeL
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Gbmdzpfh
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkvagrQsng
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?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hBKkZWjkm
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM6dvmidgo
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1RlX88Ow5
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqfyV6CUDH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4zp3AjGdL
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyN7twPD9y
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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpjOADQ7jO
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eqrPBgSyw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJKmjhsVyC
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlzWPrHrde
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6GCND1QI5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyBOuKOVyl
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qMLgyeyI3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1Gkb6jX97
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvl6WTG002
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGl7nCTDkv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorYbHhZCsq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ufEtZnZ5l
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYGGb8cKPW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkmrRmap6n
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhd3HObTDD
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFsWzjMuDY
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjw8Fruvqz
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GW5mc6lbK
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmSkidjac5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze2oqs371F
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cg5VjSj2J
"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."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw23ovYcIVJ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiLmYXXDo8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CztBWQNxp
"Hey, I'm just saying. Some things are inevitable."354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZHAKdFsLw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6X1W7QaRb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvKZAfWfmD
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.354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrRh6vDdjD
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBozeY5MQU
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXceaZ9OsO
