415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTOKvWwKJz
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfNMK9kn8M

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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoy0WO5cRg

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfVxPhjIhv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRo30vguGd
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkgbz6yBdQ
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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulF43X2dxh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94dnNpUdAs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUsO0qay7h
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZmCFXUc8P
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPOuhHpWsZ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe2jtVbiyL
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YwGIVaLSt
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRDOFTlQvG

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AIee9LKTF
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzBwAOPsXh
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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlosZzL7gQJ

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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfnlN0DUcl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4CNpH6iNG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9AgCgWGjf
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCifJCXr40
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MMbEDzWot
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskZiIZVR2m
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsC3vbvuVe
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWAz6pZvIZ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGzhovqpws
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xuo1wYQT6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ457s0Glere
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bEcQdDlhs
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTASzQmwsb
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QR9qXDh6l
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmrIpL11v8
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?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsuRagZCXR
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUC0CAXgx5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejw3Ml4I5o
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0ViWdZGa7

"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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49iGoZXuqr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e1JMLcFTh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KP2CffdCA
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuy6M4ViUk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cYfYwR25G
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBTGpbB9L5
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbM0CtLQrH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv2gEpbthP
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8uwyO7y2k
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXI12h6k5k

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ313lFetYol
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvvAWqwl6W
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczDVDpcRFd
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs7iAngfJN
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOv26FZXd7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCAf1dlkWk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3B0yJ4GNg
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHExgR9cj53
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHp44vTSis
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8WK2UBJa0
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbMOOuPJDG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGAZP5bUeN
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcbGB5LUsG
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTCN5YCBFo
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJdO4Ca58d
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdmW3EWWpb
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmyJl0Gs1Y
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTQmYnI4lS
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraDSeHXJEG
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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU01vIQtgc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50hRVd8pz7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggoB8yp3bt
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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYLhPWMDU2
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WqoYnBAyt
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjuj1krjw3
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRzjeanVMt
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdovdDFnYso
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShsE0GTa3E
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2I1EcdZMG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTmauFbSrr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9WOycbYd1
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EWTxMDImW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PRKVCEYPY
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLkdOJVVgE
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMROKUNfHI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdB5QGzWl3
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz3CqENOCY
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgINaT37Aqg
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFiQ9u2ZeD
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJBqdJrAjg
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WtYUuAcCh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy4svhrulD
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4UWOSR1gJ
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsDszpmO3P
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrZWZoBxLH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eNCriSrNA
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIqeAQPRLl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14LIvnMAoP
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIeC5U3jmR
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqC9agbEng
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZHSFjtR4H
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylynGJADuw
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqTzqN8abx
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2jOA2inDB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI61ADhiqm
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxopr8btZT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmN3aRhqrC
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFDbCDLEJ3
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?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2t1rumrxO
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaCuhedrik
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOzXXWuEPT
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3s0TJTVXj
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNqpqg6dEv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGmCW02gmo
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yI5zQB5wD
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNDDfTyGnu
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgpOrAfT4J
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9a2ufFESq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6b3dhbHRU
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc28MnKirS
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszb3Tn058y
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjWzhlG9e4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfLUyAioMP
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ytKl27qrw
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYjXMAlzXL
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sZPfmcSDW
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tj7ueYSCw
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3zIZAPclo
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbDUtKqseJ
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbTbcl9TqS
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2KfrD8CcM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHnWD0cYoK
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuKl8YlE81
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVksVHKSMa
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf6w2snTER
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5wmo1HVvD
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sqolNq1g2
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ImSbkwqMS
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9qh65g0fn
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpshnF1rDg
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEzbvd5ifL
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFyKVM9ove
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFnR94LkR2
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CeRHCSYa8
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAKUrD7xk5
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOYxro6sg8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u2dhtcOQQ

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6R7HMJK6h
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dhaOJq5Em

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanBiafZm3a
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rwmpEyemN
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0wAXcyb4A
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePz2W951S6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZC7mnp0jg
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEsLdJPuKd
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LXNFnJbBU
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9hYhhe9QA
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlmaNPWiyM
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnocv1NgqYh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEPZkQIEDx
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9sPOFpzug
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5wXWMc8he
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWKkMx5OwL
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ1i3uho96

He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntVENmh2N6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO4Y7CyiIj
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiCcXpJcyC

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMdMGguK8M
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6rDwkgSYL
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpgGLhVbpB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRsnbypzjo
"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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAgCASlUN5

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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ag6CWllNI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k75Ci02Zm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa37GpmWgl
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfIKEwwxfJ

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx4y9sv1TM
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Yds5jRGO
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFER1X8uK0l
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1uoJyISdI
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMrnuTlm6y
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c9N5jqu3G
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkYVxaKKky
"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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9QbBVd3F6
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrEDlnIKSm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1vfMbDJbb

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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvRqwqnM25

"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldayWMJGT8

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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufKcPe4yCb

"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjOk4g6UQV

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnnSlk2Hr4
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpF2AS0Lsh

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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn31WnxEW3

"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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncDYWz6XN6

"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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YNLbvchGW

"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.

"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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcT8vPKQA1

"So whatever the case, they will need you alive," said Lucifer, looking at me. "What do you really plan to do exactly?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3HgbhbHaP
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4CwSL5mkB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wn1fCTJm4
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjpL482hcK

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1yPyMsSpU
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ387EWHuNN0
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKjA0A8jAK
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5x7spymUz
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oQdaPHk2D
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg3wkH8CDW

"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWPBHXUnya
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVOxK5hsxT
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sCheVY7v8
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVhjZTcujc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdMH16Kfus
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDlzy5qcnU
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNqgfsBWOJ
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfodAYCfpf7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClOP6AIQ9S
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRTtiArlFB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBjYHu86vk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzxh9JvnPV
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?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxtyjaHfEc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0hhDXI8AP
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQHDMTAAIg
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?415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFhbJCpazm
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVqB9oIYrS
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6Urh8xhfX
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcRz2sfVGv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYXmQpVTCe
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKRw5gR4Rc
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC4knrSxYB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEzjJu1FKz
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0HyUHWiuM
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaJEHm0z9j
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN25xwcecxr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2nwRQBNTm
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsYpbe3SC8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmkMpf5THr
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQGJvorg7
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaCNkd0wbI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOUGU6sksg
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKnJUcLMZi
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8K2YeA5X7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxyUhWY7yL
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4WsbVev5X
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETa3ekOv2s
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw1DYgS6Wf
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvWehOVkgS
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qO8qEFTR1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH0MzznKrW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1NJnAGNFi
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlDXn8oGDW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU49iBrrkiR
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaAdFH1Wcw
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U1OoxUh5S
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsgupwEm90
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa2ztOEqT7
"Same here," said Lucero.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpg0fpySgn
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42dENJSPaI
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb1ud4Dg24
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?415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4cVOg7Vhw
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoDPvXkMFK
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr1DNj3MGE
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?415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJRYSmikAj

"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMi7kIcfgu
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aGNPIZzeh
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8xVOArR7f
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYL5JKuFno
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnyfCNDJVk
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wJc63PcNG
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUG3J721jv
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqHb3YfW2g
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwrFFO2QDE
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?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICLVUrQTSF
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwenZRCewo
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMTygLMwa1
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtHjaZklHH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNpOIpJHhs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeu3DU5DEP
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthWJzIge4I
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOu8m5su3A
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnW2sIgxcq
"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?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBXW9ph7P2
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUsth3Wezl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yfLOO4YfQ
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdFVg2wnhl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4JFwGI9EB
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgylnu1VMz
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqqb3ePiq8

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3teHSVBgz
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ah4e7pBPX
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06enZS2K3k
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n7fXAR6vH
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIwVC2sCz8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI38Dmi4p4B
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2jeVQBxTq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGIV9z5tk8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVtKxXkN6x
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ570lLoGz
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5QY8g7rbc
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcRGjNtQVT
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD25JNhH0O
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKYHwxNqcy
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOD0NWYcqV
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoqE1JSDEX
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwi4JSwfFP
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT49jCcZ2df
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?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmnLMVlkgq
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFl5fDkiIG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVOAm59CkG
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjhFL9GNvW
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWslzwp2rU4
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZpYwmzkQx
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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYTmF9pSo1
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS9VlNIgnl
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHs6IGNEPH
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01lBxjldR8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljthIPTFvp
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Wa3OHFRJ
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHuKtRaGnC
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MgxOlo0F7
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hux4x8QE5
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFL0KOxZNG
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB4Cvtn6Gu
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06sB9xCrAd
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhRF8ohg68
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvn5WONj6t
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1NaRbe7BN
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOwdjXLV5x
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJgGnuINz8
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuExUbApy2
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13yZfX8GkY
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARbOirSGWF
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3I1lcurkZ
"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."415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3wEKVkFIS
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz67D7cjBHB

415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EInlbFFrs
415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm13J2bErYe
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.415Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RDWSCd8rm
