The Devil's Beach House331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27CdHPWp01
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU9cYa74lT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCpNj6hqo9
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLSKcf2KY5
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxQ3nhSSVX
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7GFVzlPI1
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmgGPg3Sf1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVhB4rArBT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMynAGi1opR
"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFjMNmAJ9q
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK6h4WRjCz
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwaRJdnrPa
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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ088nlTJQe1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaXOSGhjgT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKpPitCKCb
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpVAZq7bjk
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmKcL0ObLb
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xNLGhyQr0
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5xlPYtk4t
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJjfRXIoTd
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMyknNIfwm
"Aren't you scared?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyxXqKPzSi
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQVhmJmRgp
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpRvbqN0YM
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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitDWPU6FAE
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVPfFTZwX0
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5oaCZwdo9
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBDAIbTyeo
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIgX0s2FDf
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNnhvAGGV9
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ejXDtCmKk
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryzPcXuA6c
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExK6DzERVQ
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj412PenQXy
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1A6fxCogC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKErpTf1l1K
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKNv9FL2zW
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhdiJ6bEvg
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJpvQbyVre
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmV18g10to
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeCotVrdkV
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCGdhvChS0
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?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORWNTltrD
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya4hRkEULp
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSmw20bTqU
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqkLuRWn84

"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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyLA10EdCz
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV64WE4vxF8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DhRoZh8aW
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRlkgS6P7l
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsRB6D6t8M
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxR8rMFyS0
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu49XGqF6E7
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7YihWZiKC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8xgwoMRDb
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqbQAvNzEf
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxFTRf3JPj
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01uXR5oOBq
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fw7FxMzRu
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLREmKTyStP
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQSuTh9LNx
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS8VQTjrGg
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDz2zvNMtv
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6KjizYJpu
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw7VAdtKPP
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV4atz7cXT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUZ2fWYaIy
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcexL2ijMfx
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaS81aenaZ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf879eNzJwa
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrzcniq5Qy
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpKcD3I1b5
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMjDlSQ4rd
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wUevKoqaP
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaIMDPd0vt
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkEw9ditop
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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h2l2EX08g
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMYrWr2IV8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHs5IQYv0D
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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOoqjmSHgb
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SEoe7Ykce
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2s821Nb6X
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbCRI834Ve
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYc8jeIe6x
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0tegiCpcb
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3JkIePBoI
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35AlUw4l9h
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdQKWF0utK
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnWigKuARV
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jfDYLn9J3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ft0FPKy7
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAKWzGNAhd
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE3NnHuKL4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iViHE9cHD
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVzPSqODk3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVOVt7NxS7
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHoadB8dHq
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabte3BLFx9
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwJhVmeFoo
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqq9mGz961
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRerUl4xRd
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS5sSTTcQS
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM8nM9jwJ6
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoAcEXzuq4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIAufuGMr2
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ueiuiCZDn
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOZmhaVtZ0
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39N8b1KSI5
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT1ff8y23K
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGinarDAUV0
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjz11ggc0n
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpxZCet4sB
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Tufw656M
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzNi9ty0a8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QGBCTQ8kt
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?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWX9b8MOH9
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjEH7kJjOx
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lydbiTR39
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCsFgSwRME
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpA4avtZwj
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIMChzGFjv
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILFJNiTKq2
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PRb9tHsIy
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxicJO5FmGr
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2tSSw8sTQ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdachhNGAfp
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7RRAByCI2
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1l075DopJ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNybhQR0IQ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ1FZa3brG
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfI1K9F6Xt
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZV7DJxSWH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09fvi46L4t
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1GxTquIJl
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTUfNBPC7N
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M1OVWZH4U
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5dNgZ49TZ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3b86p0ycw
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrIDje77jp
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT8wUhyI4x
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XzHWYb5gn
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPjzAQBv0h
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUbO07Z868
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBmAzElFjO
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtkxF4mwzN
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rudXVFKwF
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC6MHsCmIt
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMnV6MsazU
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzWcFaQvys
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilJvLC9ekC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljgiUvWnx8
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkwsACB5bH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsddUoM8zz
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPVyIhgEIf
"Guys, you better move out of the way," I warned.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI2cNRvVKK
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xLP4c26vw
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBBGPs4kTN
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfIyBLIIo3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtru4Iz4Ntn
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8w6ikAZkW
"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz4bAgM3iS
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4oGfWmSQ6
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLbTEJdmyE
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT3G4mQTWK
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxTqEhYgnQ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfzbOeMjhU
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFCArgTEHa
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzbq0YMqy
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFwplsnS6N
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7u6yJi5j8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWbG4w21jB
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWawlKOXuT6
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbHnhLrX0j
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxkLZTLvnc
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLVyzQv6Um
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzLT1r2TFY
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMNCDxQ1uN
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgNMFaWOH6
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX86AvQVvC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFltia6heBd
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3ej3fee7K
"You, of course."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEV2mtQ8u2
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6sMBdP8qn
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFy7FlZuLD
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW8vP7zs3K
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBfJgk3B0I
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA4ekh4hlw
"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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6J1bsbgMg
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFORkTmMUyW
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPN1xFCfr1
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ0PEO6NB6
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrwEhMOTMC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTk1MA0PXk
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7j8nPXX6c

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BScR2fauO
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc7oUUwJxU
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEsAkwGbYe
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5OC4plCLH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gm8xON3Ng
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE1XF6yaOe
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jeRSHdD1C
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWjDVsYbKJ
"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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSNy55mye8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp70JPGeQJ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkI1FrUOCV
"He's more of the black sheep of the family," I said, my eyes still not leaving Lucero.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4RE6EYEEe
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ494u0TLtef
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL0JZvijRp
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNzWWwcWcA

"I like the way you put it, Diana," said Lucero. "I would like to stay and chat, but you and I have a date."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaV06yyXUB
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa7QIQfRzh
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD511D5TCuf
"I'm not going anywhere with you, Lucero," I said. I felt ready to light up my other hand.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKJsZ3wDKq

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciXBhKoGF2
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqptd4TON5
Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNFuIIV2Rh
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRcfXIoGP5
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHVzXkV5ss

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTtEsyDbB4
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLLh9MAVwZ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYecAdZnSS

"Love triangle," Lucero answered as he turned to look at Stella. "Well, you look stunning. Sorry for pushing you aside earlier, beautiful."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN95tTXcLrh
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCplub4MaeB
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3cmq1h4no
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRMW8ZWylO

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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCAlVEbWdp

"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZx93c2yo9

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh00SXHVs0

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoGFDGnWZe
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4hiWNhbVo
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKxReh6B4F
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80W7v8EOPf

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NaZ0ExyGC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6NQ9E3J3T
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLu58VWPbI

"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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokVKx0ueSd

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1QoXaAvII
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzilK2bXm6

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BuXp76jlC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQmIlwfLYL
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM2OmXiHGi

"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.

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VK0ZKlKzn
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ7PYW31mx

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSj3QlvorN

"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOwglJ14fX

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.

"Now that we’ve reached an agreement," I quickly cut in before Lucifer would say something vulgar, "why don’t we all go to the study and work out a plan? The last thing I need is for me to create a war with the Golden Elite on this beach."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vak2Sem9m

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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR28aIkeEE7

"Well, true," he said as I noticed him raise an eyebrow. "But you had gone quiet for a while; a lot of people thought you were dead or had moved on to the other world. Your aura is different, too. It’s not like it was before. Did you do something to yourself?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhMKqxQaMB

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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngySFLwelX

331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxHMXuVxk1
"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?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEoI7CFMW2
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehRWgMuU2f
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowUEBKdEal
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeghAU1fzbC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxA6nnOX9U
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxNOUAqA6y
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE22yxuvoV
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0IW891scE
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9CrhGRDa3
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOWqb6JVqQ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eDS0oAWnl
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkzzEuKcRy
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VTlFURxan
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkRXoow2oX
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LJz8j3bUm
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f79ZgIoAg
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5xeOxtEA4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyavYawUME
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4TlQqR1Fo
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7N4VgNbfO
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2CWaD6gzn
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH4HQBk5nx
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZDrtPBV9z
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK5cvVOPhe
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?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQXPWbi5AY
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8FF3lPHEF
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LpqRWGvmN
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?331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorj9mzkl1m
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8R4rF25cU
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QU5eboU8Q
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ddeh4baf
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCsPkR8ES8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjg0eNNsYa
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmWCa24DPr
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0sN6CW4R1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwjiTETxM1
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkZGj6i4K7
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG7dze49Yx
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF60SSDg9h8
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvrZPl7c5o
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KIAZUgmRa
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtiioU77g5
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nuFwZ2vaz
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7GvYhlK1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVVPYnOaK5
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQlZLXo0r9
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6k5VhHl8f
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zIGO4GuHw
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13xGZQ4YLJ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaWdzJASDj
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGKBQxkx3u
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifo3TQSsh4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19LyF7DhuW
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAsrgdzbRk
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3t60s1mmi
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmLiOO6QFQ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDDHCxzpX4
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpsuiWic7s
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXPX3DKHKA
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mOJOstQiQ
"Same here," said Lucero.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPNknZ9jZ5
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJV2B8QYVX
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4qcRO5Ikm
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?331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4HNLv1ZB1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYc2FfoxzU
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I44hZiUzZ
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?331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGHjGHG4al
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ihsE8u5x8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4srEeE1iTS
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOg8y6IcVq
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ZtfBh0nk
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQkFFoIGs6
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4gxRSKGnB
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5GF739jcF
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbbmbOeOf7
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rl8n50YWH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fbgxoOTOT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv82R3uvN8
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?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubxOEWNp4f
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8RXmszhT1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kOUT4QQEB
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXqWXQYv9R
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ybjEhNL3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPnFiwsVJZ
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr3wpr5em8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CzDrgEl6J
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xnq3q7u5c
"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?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsJ9K7k7v6
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyGpvuUR4Q
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE1HPVXzOs
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrmfcBBiY0
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11IHcLo5eJ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2GIIPj7KG
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRdBQW8sTz
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf0Z3RTbvK
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJDO5wXokB
"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2EDwtYJow
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk9RYDlLYz
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MWkQgHXXm
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L5VdbmdM4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwl5suU16D
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDXozStdeI
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o2XooE4IK
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ3jMRRhj4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYslz99cgK
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h1VGD0FQ1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyxVjRzxMQ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnztsL1kbT
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEd4bMCtip
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ896iysFj
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Iem99QyY
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGa42S62mQ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu5OqqtKx2
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE7tuoiIw3
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?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV4WXZfnzp
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMFPer2YQ8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozNgkdOcH1
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fz5P2o247
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp9Sc4hJi8
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCRUzuAjXY
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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCWA6GNHid
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuBtpTHPkh
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRjp3TqevH
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR3Xue0um7
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0PHe27my3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQORzSWAGgK
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPUD0oO6TZ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67J40NN5nj
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARFjeU5uNJ
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IRbTPdNnS
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6o3FRMLpF
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdBWOU57Gd
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh3ynz1Vnr
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDI1Dxfh8f
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcknFxZx8ga
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1cWHIzgoH
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoroFhrpheD
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JinjZPke4
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeIujAQxnv
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60g9arAEKf
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqj0rDOljz
"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."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBJfzugIKA
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoVlzM6Qvs
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpxMzrCzF4
"Hey, I'm just saying. Some things are inevitable."331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2SxidmCSq
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4gVQC2HV3
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVELVTx9ouO
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.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVucdXvrhxG
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO3zKcwI8m
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloHHyGKj5h
