The Devil's Beach House386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX6HCDX9Cj
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V7pdjLdzH
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhAA6YahKX
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhgGuTfbf5

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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUrYn200oo
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rIGJWUu1X
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qcNF30bbR
"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZ4482qL6
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToMLHsq59z
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0rZDEakA9
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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ss4dvhAh
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBlBGGMMO9
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw8GvSPozk
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4NnaYnFL0
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjjwtJWm1J
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvDhjWW5LU
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWTqfStsWk
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFQ5vVMogz
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOIAtqbZ8M
"Aren't you scared?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMvM5HIkf4
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA46o4o3l4
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxtJyi68sJ
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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPLnwaWxLE
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRnEQVXl3W
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjKSjAMRAo
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK1HaDAmfW
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuzmzYfb0k
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1F0KAugS
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt9aLGw9bb
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW1iiTwVxo
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4OP7KCQKG
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H2MOAZMGK
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3sn0FfmlH
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7QekgJiLk
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmm7wZLlnk
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxkpK9fuXU
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQii63EFGt
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M3Ms1scLI
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5LY8A9RLO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnej3Qxo5df
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?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGJ1Z7lkUo
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2do8St33DN
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g4DAgdZ3A
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgsLtz5vfk
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoWLaoyADK
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhgxPpOOYU
"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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24ImY6WRZi
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR47WZy0Gob
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vixFo7yjc
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8XlqnXKma
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkegJzeWLu2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR03FE681e
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLd3G9bMUd
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCuSq1uvNN
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTYCOz7cre
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvH06CzaoE
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfTPaXXZTb
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5t9wnsRuU
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7K7sAs4s1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Be9Amg0J
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSrygRXttp
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt87ksZOql
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVGRu3Ak7F
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9auEY15w2E
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeyGwnEREr
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjWYuymor6
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ipwBPq4bO
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkIoKG0zzJ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq9equhMz1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFcr9Dlhnr
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs99dldfPAO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaypLYqkl3J
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOBO6uccZR
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz3i3tl3cR
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxpvh2jIS3
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zAr0CMIXc
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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjJbuKBCpq
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTahhZjmuX
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyeDMKWHka
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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx7zxe6qbt
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mNgwcSI76
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJI3EK2QCL
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZXOPm2ZU1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FbjzT7S02
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYlc0PyGt7
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OJz5Saxop
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUorwkboaJ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuYeKfPAh3
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ6OOkCBlr
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54yocRdqDF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueAcTDSDi4
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc868U8oH0
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhMpmb5Ri9
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql2llXTDrw
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIWh9BpQQ7
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANduDLypVc
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudLPaXhP2G
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHa0quO0rU
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU3CJNAunO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGy7qwTEet
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05x1UQFwTP
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OYxyfTAt3
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12EmzDiNIa
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtrSJyfbCk
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVxdK9pcaU
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyYmJSBRBu
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7LCcLDxjY
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyY9vmtNib
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79zH5SLbsI
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez5NGBn4A6
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU6W2iZovU
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGtTVKS014
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFGxvtkpTE
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZioy5Jjnm2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqN0Pt0Gxw
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?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR8574O4I1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZynLnhvPO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLoPkYCbsX
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr7DJaiDaJ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94HzuNi0WM
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NUywvfhXA
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OzB1f6woA
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtZlx0v8pU
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUFK9iuI6c
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaFyF6Bkni
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTYmcdGy19
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYy8lTBodb
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7RQwOQzG2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBbMIRSCOH
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOU5B3OoQ5
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu0WvQLneK
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5fq1qMRJX
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SnhpKASfv
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptmVaSvD5V
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPzRsoP4Rn
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42De1cDELs
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbXr2v1fTb
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AjPMcTfEY
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiduZeimcW
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUSi99yzNT
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwI6QRYwST
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZLH7OiBTz
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHo6xTlckF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Xadvho6T
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmH2OKjjnP
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXsopqJ7dw
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6qNMImnDH
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNreKzvBhHb
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8GhRdGKd9
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGRBjsiccp
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cVBd8f3X7
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dfGzZ0dCO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxxFBVQwG2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCueHRMbTKE
"Guys, you better move out of the way," I warned.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIORx3T2at
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIDBSjlDW2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Cu3nDfbH
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLAixhk9i6
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU9Jlsd3dc
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MxKIgVbYD
"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4tOeBNYaN
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0lYTJUAp7
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGU0FVUEGr
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGjyNnN9gl
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaRSWtf1hJ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuebl0LVfR
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TJ8wXaZNP
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYuSYVKmQ1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXSI2Wf9dC
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAWyRmCG9D
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD6zKeUNF5
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZiS9Ck2AU
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqipGpgGNO
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszQtMEms1q
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORDsysw5yc
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnQgQdyNrB
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f0BpeTsgz
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIY31dbshW
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25xMXKquCR
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBwWEmLdup
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYR6SxUb2F
"You, of course."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt4tV0Dd6L
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMUwzFURGQ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tEdtt2nkZ
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWk2uT93wA
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd2V32i7Fo
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq3gAB1mWl
"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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDXz8rH4rR
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dtz3NSKfL
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsy3Iu88tA
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy7ZEZHl7r
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpAa3pM2Lx
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebA9JzIkxd
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSexNHyMtEq

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXlu4Mln9h
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5GoU0dl1N
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVcPdAgIAS
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspiyu8U3N0
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy1siJHefV
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwOAo3A9GL
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMdaoTpMkx
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdgA2DdWcS
"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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGTf34aH2d
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm8YTXBBna
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQk3o5MQln
"He's more of the black sheep of the family," I said, my eyes still not leaving Lucero.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBXoKjO5jS
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KrxInMeMa
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKo21ZAssj
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Bs8CEzkm

"I like the way you put it, Diana," said Lucero. "I would like to stay and chat, but you and I have a date."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN4Ja3j4gz
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnPelsOprE
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YfWQkGBHv
"I'm not going anywhere with you, Lucero," I said. I felt ready to light up my other hand.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCRtPcxu4k

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTQmUXMj0B
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldFx99zqxc
Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKuowevb9n
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0RaSxnxTg
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhBmCWr9SX

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklBb58JbZH
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqoxKMjoDM
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLWlIWux1M
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoPPPF08iB
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUOiw3dFY3

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHruCdIrQbh
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qKDHdJFAE
"Love triangle," Lucero answered as he turned to look at Stella. "Well, you look stunning. Sorry for pushing you aside earlier, beautiful."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICQgL50HqH
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fa6C43Y2T
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GPVKBvfmQ
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXr5lCylyG
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHG4fX9w6Q

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fhSIjpe9N
Stella shook her head a little, as though she were waking up from a dream. "Wow, I nearly fell for him there," she said. "Thanks, Diana."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciiN8WS6it

"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wOmiYIh2m

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQeLSZaQtT
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHYIYkS2gw
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpSqM28hlT

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa27OKZqth8
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9v6NmvyEB
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWQYcuyThF

"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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3BFXuigyW

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTEHSdRrta
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOn7OId8mf
"You aren’t protecting me if I continue to run. I need to face the problem. If you must know, I've got a shadow monster after me, and I don’t think wherever you take me is going to protect me from it. That’s if there is always daylight. Not to mention the Golden Elite will be knocking at the door at any moment."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4O1n3xZkC

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvSg1tdCPk
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuazeeY8iQw
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Xw4k4qO7

"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.

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pIzo6UYA3
"If I’m soft, then you should've just dragged her out of here in one fell swoop," said Lucifer. "But just like any mortal man, you’re quickly led by what’s in your pants."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mzkJq3Ma2

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgAt68WDGr

"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSI6UMAb2d

Lucero scoffed. "That you are scum through and through," he said. Lucifer hissed at him. "I hate to admit it, but Lucius is right. I’m not going anywhere without Diana. And since I care about her so much, I would rather be here protecting her." He looked at me. "After this, you and I should get on an island together.

Lucifer started to lead the way back to his study. I just hope Mutale is alright in there. Lucifer is known for torturing Golden Elite soldiers for pleasure. However, I had a feeling I was just overthinking things.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBYw4mmVhk

"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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh9RpXP6XR

"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?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mkXVpXbnl
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEbKEJbwvU
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZBg3p2Chf
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQl7IZRHGx
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcrg00Ia6l
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3rEmjGJGa
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUyDh27BYy
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HsFp5BnUc
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTbc8eEGYe
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDusFGUkNs
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWfqQG48K3
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzX5pz3Yp1
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9yNsGCA4K
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKwCV8noVb
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYuGX7kpps
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61ZKSrDn0m
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj2AR1QF3p
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBxqwPg4cp
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NFbMraJjq
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpA9lVnxkF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTEEbUqcl0
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnVx3JyRKN
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2NRp7hHF2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX7FoZIn7s
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?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCvTV0mGn3
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TPE5ZH1hZ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvKjItKzgv
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?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVfiVcVMg2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HZG6GyyLK
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfYKXBRC6k
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeoiE8khnS
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Y7Ii4YPn
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg7d7mqkgD
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMAjspz9V1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u5H82HFnB
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQftcM07VSN
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xOznv0Nuy
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xpJPx2kgU
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9HaYuezrZ
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupbthqx8VI
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiFDJw1kCE
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ33QXy6hQK
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrlVnxkGU3
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDPPvgXmYs
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5er81gN6X
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cHKGT4L2J
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTZyLmPjc1
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAWUYhVHDI
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQjTIKR3X
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2sWWR3JnJ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PQh0wskHF
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW5AVHUb4z
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9DKgKs6va
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw53YGkKCyl
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WG9tPZDPo
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvLP8jduGA
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxrQ3WPIuj
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv5OK8yViV
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FkBm12J8o
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMzQH7Dvu
"Same here," said Lucero.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rYeP6fFtI
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Q6X8Puwt
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwYOx7dDwC
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?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygrhERwn9C
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WicJi05NI
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnj0BgtYZR
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?386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7vmHiB1nF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQodm0rLAqF
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U7GP64tfs
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDGKGuLS2g
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp7G9xBHEC
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqItXiDCDGI
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn7z2dcO0K
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n422QqECs
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPaFtUvbYR
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hcrGVOZAR
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf46m76TW6R
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCt4ZRqZo8
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?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIdWsTAfRT
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fhAQPSzAD
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8HbsfEZ1T
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoM7gGMOGn
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7peODlrXgw
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMcJIEzcPW
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcebZNPjUDg
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NssPQSO4M
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI2Szohnyi
"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?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCht7s4UhW
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxCkzhfIlz
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZubjCRAd6
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYp35pPDTQ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OUS478Tst
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGRAP5jRpm
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik04jvGfJ2

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolkRrqJjjs
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3rztpkHGP
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdFzmymmRi
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42bl5EPOVq
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6vmCuaH6A
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPajqgn9iQ
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZbbWx4bC3
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8eq89W4DN
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIyN7o0ASB
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXODbpr1ZEs
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDHoRWdeGM
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTPwjDVn1W
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCHNJ9kwl9
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4XMSb9k9q
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSXmRum9oc
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpsCziTlZ2
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98hxFcMbDC
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnncmn2KR2
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?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTNmhKhEIG
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyPjNT3jGX
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCojwJbGT9I
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEgaEj8xeu
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7bTRZZbeQ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6p2UHLwmi
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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvD78CZS4F
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOe2o3TEDx
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ooBIOdpIx
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7XvmTre0J
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApTokK1yFS
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7NDtEcr2E
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNSo1y7Z9w
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ111TKEcimj
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAkZot5nnT
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdxpx734NJ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpN5m6jJFV
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0m73bWSk
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9wq8KuVVs
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbpk8JqfAl
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYctK2pne5U
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW40BP9bKuV
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkErBjXRBkL
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEenh6fYb01
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI3fl8jeWQ
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRWfa3LKJd
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcDCZYkEEX
"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."386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPmlbW9AF8
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tmsMivnFT
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0562dBczO

386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTiZT6Dik5
386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsY3IcCqlU
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.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq9ucvoSXt
