387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYpAqYi9Jl
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY9j6xWmCS

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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3XsIgn8S1

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt4ISmFyzi
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEKZavyqin
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U5D26tTsQ
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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScQwdBh7WL
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa6XxHNA5Z
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMgtXJhmvB
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dgLBAgy6k
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP09U0OhLlc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i0cqsHVA0
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcEHrBGcaP
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOdIQeBGbf
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR4efPkZkE
"Aren't you scared?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTaOBYMZZ0
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfDY5FsJtZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jEPQQDwog
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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWElqjkubg
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21QNHpFTw2
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX8pRPyhm2
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHSUVbxaAr
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwnoIx81H
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0C8PbNPPp
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWi9IN5Ebe
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDeBX2anGM
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycdvVnaVqk
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JZnCY0EOx
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY55Mx012C
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C8OTvdH7U
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZtWP6bGMn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MXTRg9BQ1
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevej1Dwp51
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tGloqL36T
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqC8yv3at3
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pacZ9yBvL
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?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nKMQrtgNl
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWj4uzygzE
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIpC3x4KVS
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3wzJiIedn

"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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkRwjoghsH
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K8f4DAGlx
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66H5ZvXmB2
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI6a8E6TsQ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg5QtYAms3
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAQOXvxgaX
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgcGzBTytt
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBECr1fWiX
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusLXEJu9zo
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wRmBf8Lch

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmqQ95OpRx
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS4HoUSKk4
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxna5Az0pGI
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiWBrVBzM5
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV17mto9fr
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZYu1MdknU
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWsyUo8rSB
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6slMznCgXI
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GT9WmfZyd
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesnG6CDDj2
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVWF4Ql1Sz
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4GCtFYalN
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe59C1xwFL
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaeJPSk1QW
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDagbIuW5P
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1BNjOyT2
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78YVbOhy3X
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr58Um1M6g0
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uJR6mAM7i
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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQy6LqqSBd
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5jMbNXtbD
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hJq6RN9Wm
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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIPZKJTVhG
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQboBZVQ3C
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbksREXNy3
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdvlbmhzLj
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBla8lnl2G
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjZIMvupLj
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR8aH958Hk
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZF42S81eO
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIUjliwmFd
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqcvChJk6j
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77JbcC7MuD
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU73QpxD2b7
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YmFcwCuC2
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqDRoi6DLr
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQCu7tWnOz
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJqxQt3l4r
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUryhu8gfh9
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5n8zOsM6F
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxI0czeT1F
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5h2KNFoBu
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gdhNt6yLm
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFtHZ8O0OX
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYyH9HtFFD
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxqy8lYFc7
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BaMmSoS6q
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcShENPHh7n
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAXFznJXUc
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlWJ9ZV5af
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOGL6aYjbb
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngu6dA7YTa
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBvIjYrIHc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGNBosNCk
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ764RHTqeN
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAd6KdUQpc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKrM4lW6T0
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiGEBBfR4X
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?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrTdzdglr7
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjGMeMpAV0
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0KplEMB05
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMDXdblwVi
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqibGA7mcbd
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0BZm0Zxzw
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgaLyb32XV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8FPOrJv8v
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzoWaoy2i0
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm2CjPXw7A
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbdozNo2e7
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nqaOQH2c7
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6WOlKrpw4
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sXVkhzIBd
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZACeC2xewu
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr8XtJ3OUk
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzYy1Ua4AZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcuHntM0Id
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tokM7FjOt
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk53HpAjG05
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3mOuojtcf
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfP8iopLuZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMKJF4p9FA
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIkcE0qJZy
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrmiWpCQrt
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ikthWGQo
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6duR7gjsk
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJGBAd7XoX
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFSe1CKcMV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3lBVAeZZq
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB16cYE1gV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaRlxd8Jja
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHgEQW0bYs
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TSJlAw6A8
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FV1t2cb2x
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJpDSqAHYU
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nFu6To2rZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOc3PJwTYE
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZQL4xZqEu

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0lJRkrQtr
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk5Hbjewyt

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBjXkIr3rJ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZqN1iqgbH
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn5LTKoUyq
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dbhmSgBB5
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIASE7oalGD
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KBlCU7afb
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvFa6R8YNM
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4efLgqxCU
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf26lGxNDEx
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6HyjYDo5D
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ88Jcast6H
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHqNYFsgsU
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVgY9ZvF38
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDgaE7FPMw
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEBJFvNnnu
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR5iaH8Crc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOag1bDwcw
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXvXxzl28L
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wVwE3Clll
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc80ZofMipe
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4vP2kNtOs

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPsjOrnrMM
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE8J3CuZ0i
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAtPKL983d
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbqmBslAz2
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITkqNQTVju
"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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9NclBxAFV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yefbXnUAp
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQpzKEvEOP
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIiOSYRtAP
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCEpbf80s4
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqxYxkUk1Q
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7fgSXsUS7

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0mCCcs7BB
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JZhX85KaO
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM0a6EA47L
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhIPtooZag
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kx4wEZ1EP
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe46o82oNX
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsuKk9qwE2
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb6g5c2WDb
"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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidTijl2Ke7
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVml4mIxuJ

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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVdSOrbrbp

"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4bHNRAG3l

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM7RuTqRtw
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgLkJu0ZZt

"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4FI7Iakmh

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J8ibKRZKw
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh13FUlCrA

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRB504yCae
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ee6H0Oc9O
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt47XvnTVDK

"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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGggkG8cnnY

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QYhm8a3GM
"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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi90cXjU4s

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

"Then this house will just have to burn," I said, extinguishing the flames on my hands. "Lucius is right. Lucero isn’t going to budge so easily, and I’m not going to go with him if he is going to lock me up like he did last time. If we have to reason here, he can help me out by staying to figure out how to handle what’s out there."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvL8m7PUvC

"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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLm2OC2zrz

Mutale looks at me for a minute before saying, "We were told to capture you today, no matter the cost. This mission is far different from the rest that we’ve ever had with the supernatural. Many people are on board with this mission. Which is very surprising."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7def7CkEZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxd7L0NDZ4
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCDBXDUUw2
"So whatever the case, they will need you alive," said Lucifer, looking at me. "What do you really plan to do exactly?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66T7cUXjF5
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflX68JX1fw
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaEocnLHtP
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRu5NE7AS5
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecElAPSWBw
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrppiNcopwY
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3IUxNPPHC
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4b5ouuSOR
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2YGcXb6O6
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcL9gd5HXw
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaurFrNxfOI
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJdGzvbsQ8
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvR3yZE7wS
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9drvdFYEj
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMYtRhIJux
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v0eeuQJU4
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKeTsZqLe1
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS9JMvF6zH
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtjYNAaJRD
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLq3fHqGSX
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQS0iHwF5J
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JUb15j0xP
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmNAVghKEq
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhY1rXZoVv
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?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA23ptVuWsH
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Pr0VOhXV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRPU3qaCJH
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?387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk9hgldGKc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIPXHEQOFA
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5QPvKEzPG
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41cVGqll5a
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQMocXO3lA
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv1DwBthdF
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nV2fHllpN
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnACNz2DJMn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBGKPvOHCF
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gOXxjjkyC
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WCD0Q1z2t
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAv17xvCdh
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF73iwuRWOv
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2cU4wjDfY
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fiItgeXO8
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39GBlxMFO2
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcZ2HmwXaR
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzhBcnu5oj
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRuwLt6fn9
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB27a7qd8gV
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i7DZEhVby
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Blwpqqqh
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36Wip6lEac
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXWbVG6T8G
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr3QGqVIpc
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwPhIHEZPm
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNrhux4J4v
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVEHLvpV5H
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq323vEIzIu
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5pUse9H4Q
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA7rr68xrQ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkqdCYe6C4
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb0ALUri1r
"Same here," said Lucero.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y3Ifx1w75
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UUoBIB6ee
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEqNxxY5Uf
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?387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn24KWEoH3
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3XN7xMoqm
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEUI3g1QfI
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?387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5l61KCAtk
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT0rP4KGrt
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4cdhSP48E
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSy0ykKR4x
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEssLsACXhG
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfbF29p6Ky
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZcvr5svW9
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rlk4jydyj
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlimtFNNrGE
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtavcsHBPSD
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzph7nvaTgk
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyjA7ePF3Q
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?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUR79Uq4K8
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4VJJtxQEp
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJPZSApxuL
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WLEM9isgu
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡploDS8yIqR
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS2Ba3CApK
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXHlvEol2P
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AUDlMNO4E
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoma0WDxZP
"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?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PIAwkhO5M
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXebtJG8kS
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkXdY4GNuW
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuMYKNVGIQ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJOa382TXn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wBH7kdBH2
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphubye5fQ9

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ6gkoNLtn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz4UrIKQOO
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETBM29Inal
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa600CfhVUH
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYGWewXQfN
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXEwyuEJ2V
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyILQSk4K0u
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKSLOWfaQZ
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsFVSpsHa5
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9QeeGTCiI
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWyYRlzwQj
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdhQJ7XX2U
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22x9S2F2BM
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmzLMdThia
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnVwpnFRpz
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QSsI1Ac4L
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rURcUpo8E
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGXDUXu3hb
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?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgRMwqlkRn
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHoYGaEFgh
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4KTDvCYAD
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwvytNPdcY
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzVvDtN1o3
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMnbUSKJzJ
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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv83cXxuke8
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm1v2Z3jh7
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM3cJHeR6H
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO16Kear7dL
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43U5TXgNex
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFzgO99JH7
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkdfSHn2V2
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN83g5QyAXd
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFjGkwqTV
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4xiHvFqxA
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmFc1h3VNA
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bLQ6s5MeH
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBHFepgHHH
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoZrNEUZF0
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01pAN7y4SL
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMpWBx3DkX
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3dekD2lin
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBC5PL7Kwd
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMGJVlfQzq
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8zeCdb7yW
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS2lyldwDw
"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."387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6JFtYvR8T
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8GECWIyuA
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZpQQv5l2S

387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wi62ZxhHY
387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizKIQMJ2gm
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.387Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEC03kFmds
