440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGAKeRadlC
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3UOnnfFiF

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PsAJZWgXz

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIROx3of6bl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL8dSoTE5F
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu3w5vtLjZ
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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXF1jrLgo8
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwJot5kJIr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFQGSojCK3
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdKTmvst2W
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEyCUQ14qh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60f6ED3HwP
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ID2UoEZZ1

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tNk611sBs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgK3gDsJvo
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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cmtXTg4pw

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQVcd8zAUH
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP092uOx0H
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOcQVFQyEP
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfbj1tGE9C
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBPSZR7vUk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F86dEbY3W
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxugAJjWgfy
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAiTjR9nCd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGopZiO8lh
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRDxjxxmSc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkqptfLZzJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWR8va7xUi
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRxKbxRP5b
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7kaxr7GT0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyeSXPiDTu
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?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAYviZiDXs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWgtWkWl9O
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA1MAYWNZv
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5jV3og20o

"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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16iKecoc7B
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEs1UJCsDe
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcEwvwsTq7
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMPaqftKbG
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKaVVKuzIX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEOcqAIh9K
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSUXbFpw91
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1j1cXMQ2N
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTIkh5OYDM
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD31RSeoLZJ

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoqCZvaMQ4
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqtSr23DrA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXAJasItgf
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8R2bnnx2N
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJNZ9py9n9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYEncMlxBt
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLTFbegcuH
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rb9AiOQ0K
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR0cUQzJA3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGib0tKeD5K
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gV9j4BmdI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIvnfYGooI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE76y76v8Q
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ872PbMND
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx8yI99KVS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz9zIJ0JZU
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkuk9X1qQ9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VBjXgpuRT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKGXTXvpXh
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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKjZI7LSLK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m3gZNR7dz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquC1geee5y
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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44eodmRT9g
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimMij8Xp6c
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTu4A8iKuZ
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvgKYN0Dh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTOfAapHC9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Ncf8lcdE
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSfZPH59pc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2T78ujEHo
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QGZVsN9tC
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2POklNVmC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEDyQQFDmP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXzehhNTLl
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nRJMqEKWs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CSDcX8hEs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhtigWaKA0
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLzTPv1tDL
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPI6cnxaAu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqM02g5x33
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cQTawMnjZ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvnqJ7he9F
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYjCsEC7Jz
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8SsM1zl1d
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8ljHuydp
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPP0C0srZB
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzcIetYTff
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q3a8qNVSf
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyMhBm5qY8
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyu96UP7ID
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClA87WNqrc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjGX0k8Duc
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsaFI3LBYl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHCwMZECIJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYwBQBvJSW
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ll7Fo9A8
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWnoWQle03
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPsu9koPSG
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?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQa7InkLiF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdTFcedoy7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2hoayY859
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ41eQESLVM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8nZo29bvw
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHmyrnVHe0
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyzebyPJKO
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtlqJ17G64
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyLpAbJVE0
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9R4IONUo0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTlQbfxXm3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOCPA1BI1n
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCayOhJKYq
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA4ZhR1Dcx
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKXn85rKpf
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OXW5AkPrZ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7UpX5TqDZ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C9XqQYd3h
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipOJteecA5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOmoiJYpMM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUihm95Brj
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzMgT6eJg6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRpBypwMMA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0eTz0ZUxU
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHuMmMepC6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWypI6e6Xp
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDlEhkDsyS
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQzFfk6Qgo
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO7XI0oTLl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYh60v4SYJ
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnLaN5MEwU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2Z6iSkGPX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6fanEZeyS
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjulpoOrwfh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcTWlB3p4x
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72XUiRuwaL
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm27Mv7vZV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi9exuASZu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOxoEuVFOl

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcUCblcHEO
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9ElNKEUU0

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0dmwssqxx
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbXmztL9Rf
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidlK2iWhjh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LjExM7C7h
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcsMCHchLS
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOpQsfmZtL
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoThT2bm2m
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhoYMYjz97
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRjMscUzDn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgPZ9Za53S

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hTeFRa6wu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnn7Fq84CV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJub8eWOFv
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjXw7I5tKA

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk7S56wWsq
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHr2h8d9dt
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZx7BZ4Epg

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p7cBZn3wD

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU1kZARwSf
"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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkOJJHVshC

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeVubz0EKR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStcFE6Rawm
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmTT6dUA23
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpozLVNxVV

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMxpFfZ9hV

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxnPTBHebG
"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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79PKr8fe5C

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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlTMjrRS3d

"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHk2VSzE4k

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9FkcLtGWF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59CH4hcwOg
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllgFQvjPvv

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vz1VBKOSI
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg2AaZ1CE1

"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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavAwtdXxgJ

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tozlIqKad
"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.

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTTeuvBLhW
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBimz1fz7dE

"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.

"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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUX7Wjfr89

"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?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQmbyFEdfI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto7YbyaHSM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ScyMsJLrg
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjulJFh3bOU

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukZfJkhlo1
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmeeOCElf6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOuK4mY0tq
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NMnP1UQ6C
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuSPNIKxtW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSdx0DkLAS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Li1jOy2L
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbx9mLtDs6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5pY5aRfh4
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsBgaU8vcH
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9APgRTDbf
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBc2AjXyAo
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlxdsKSf9j
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoveeqKezr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7NmnFj99T
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqaw7uT5lf
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSuOPT8Lsd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8FweHyBw2
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas8L9mQsc8
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?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEqgQ5UOF7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuvFTBawjo
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXKslHr4pJ
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?440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzED885VpMI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdOVibmy4b
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJsg3nhFW3
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcRxJbehfl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQNd5h8APb
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZBzisg5pR
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYatEnLTtRY
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5miubS6bU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9nJDavFbv
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlzwHNtSWr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEXu6UjQ9y
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8UVLHE0lR
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec539qJU46
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTvzX7LTtT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYvJ7bRHYe
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa9pAcrWxC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVElauSz04f
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqunFfgOAC
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM9pneQDh7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlInAQAhr0J
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfXH5xmzD9
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGmh1SMjXz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjou8UNlsoJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL37kCopMfc
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqUB8uV9PP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz7o1JefoV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbElawLyMwv
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81PyXUfmaT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElKAQBeXtW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwCtm6hOkb
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMRete6kMQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CJ5idcSwY
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8yGSKrqA3
"Same here," said Lucero.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eKhLdla45
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrKCkhWo5C
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1GeNELPNT
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?440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5laPDODcmT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCOi2TK6uv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8AqhAuQOA
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?440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztqWHMnSlD
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPDV45PJFw
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4aLl0Gp6S
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxs2UHUM5l
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTz8LblRsS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfu9Df3qHx
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAmCjesrdM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1lc49tpWj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibx3QML3XH
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D7ZGlFEsA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrxdpOzODI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpXtWnw4My
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?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UfxuIF4Em
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2QntVzFwF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8uvBUXen5
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjFDAKFPxq
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltZAwtFZEm
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xtZ4vxmTG
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChsBisZl40
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce6jb8ad2m
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8VjNELD3k
"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?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHShOPqBYG9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI34o88qeqT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UwqXwwRNt
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lZDBTsyo9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3bjFPL6bt
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfUsOCnQEF
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOdAyHFYtL

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMFpSy3c4s
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelKgNlZJ1b
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidQ4rgcoVE
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EXUXBA2nr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS3U6vvA3C
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjJ0KaOw8j
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAS1RxWlai
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTKvIMZxTh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYouymJi2xN
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn5DxXGtfW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlJrVIQuN6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rPlHukSwi
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4YhydYCqu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KQwBKIoCs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv1Tcg2umE
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf8r8S3QW4
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsaYCqHlwg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NfDz6GQbs
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?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPNRRJDm9C
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH3547lDgB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48W5Z6vGl0
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0SORBO1Io
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwtnmkwEBr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PJSE3xx5V
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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAlqWx5PY5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTURZIKy5D3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnqIHMd5X9
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UauXjYpgS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBZDUdQir1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ4dC4MUOL
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFMkWpIeSD
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR3GmQ74Mh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodggI66vzM
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XCKUneX6S
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtujh1djnBq
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOgXw8HoiH
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEYkKmOMGN
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfiGsFm4ie
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXbYJmAN2s
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL8JcVIwW4
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wTT0LnRl1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzKG7UxjFo
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmuaCZfsXc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaS9rT5RTZ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwRHplNfgw
"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."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYokSLsEYV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCBSwJYDMA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfBoJFbWex
"Hey, I'm just saying. Some things are inevitable."440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauAUsxtrOK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RKlTlgvnX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBklvUtsCct
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.440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmECIL5bIJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3jmlV8exz
