Iaosur was talking to Kitti when he cringed at the sudden pain he felt in his hand. The demon excused himself and disappeared, patting Chen on the way out, wiping the blood on his white shirt.965Please respect copyright.PENANAGe8hqdySid
965Please respect copyright.PENANACET8EKVYT4
Zoe was in the middle of the crowded street, turning around aimlessly, searching for the source of energy.965Please respect copyright.PENANAJRdRVRIfRL
965Please respect copyright.PENANAkfZM76m1eO
Iaosur appeared behind her, his sign burning up his arm, "What are you doing?" He sneered at his commander.965Please respect copyright.PENANADLgYI4WIBJ
965Please respect copyright.PENANAFUkiCacvgF
Zoe ignored him completely and turned to her right, feeling Eneizar's presence coming closer and closer.965Please respect copyright.PENANAUOvG1xasc1
965Please respect copyright.PENANA1aGkUSceGB
“Do you know where he is?” She asked him once he got in sight.965Please respect copyright.PENANAjTJOMsxDet
965Please respect copyright.PENANAoQJAUkEpRu
Zoe's mind was fogged by Ezekiel's well being so Eneizar's happy face was meaningless; but not for Iaosur, who could think clearly and objectively.965Please respect copyright.PENANAREzzNJEHo4
965Please respect copyright.PENANAMUKgiKGRvH
Iaosur raised an eyebrow and pushed aside the stinging in his arms, “You look ravishing tonight, don't you?”965Please respect copyright.PENANABdT0KUKwg3
965Please respect copyright.PENANAxOEriE4GUx
Eneizar shrugged and walked closer.965Please respect copyright.PENANA5jTJCl0sx4
965Please respect copyright.PENANAC0KIyfn6jV
“Ezekiel’s got fooled by a demon and we have to find him,” Zoe interfered, her breathing becoming more and more elaborated and her heart cringing.965Please respect copyright.PENANAJP36K1pNCq
965Please respect copyright.PENANAgGS9yIMHFS
“I've seen him. I know who’s the demon that fooled him.” Eneizar responded, looking way too calm compared to Zoe's panicked expression.965Please respect copyright.PENANAchgHKv7BIg
965Please respect copyright.PENANAbraxIZXA0E
Iaosur folded his arms in front of his chest and raised an intrigued eyebrow, “Oh, how lucky of you,” The angst demon started sarcastically, “Who is it, then?”965Please respect copyright.PENANAqyyqrg3JZI
965Please respect copyright.PENANAvpXQKi1gkq
“Hiset.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAbnLb92Oku5
965Please respect copyright.PENANAzKXA8BGzUz
Iaosur furrowed his eyebrows in confusion while Zoe completely bought the answer as if it was the right one.965Please respect copyright.PENANA7u3dO0ivn7
965Please respect copyright.PENANAX23YVcTrEq
“He is a greed demon as well but he got fed up with Mammon and decided to help Asmodeus instead. That’s why he knew about Ezekiel’s decision.” Eneizar continued, explaining something that wasn't making sense for Iaosur.965Please respect copyright.PENANAaiq5qNj87C
965Please respect copyright.PENANAPVRyTeJutf
“But Hiset was Zoe’s guardian and he would never go as far as endangering her legacy," Iaosur knew what he was saying; he's been a demon for a while.965Please respect copyright.PENANASRelgJovOv
965Please respect copyright.PENANAMQCCvrQvHt
Eneizar chuckled, staring at the angst demon bemusedly. Iaosur was one of the few souls in Hell who made a deal with one of the Princes and became a full fledged demon; for short, Iaosur has seen enough and knew enough so he wasn't as stupid as he was making himself look.965Please respect copyright.PENANAzE6FiSsdN0
965Please respect copyright.PENANAUkrDbMvKgA
“That may be the reason. He liked her and backed off when it got too intense. On the other hand, that happened to Mehrdir as well but he didn’t back off and he won’t do it anytime soon. Moreover, she shares his feelings. It only seems logical that Hiset wants revenge.”965Please respect copyright.PENANABEpOqaEXGk
965Please respect copyright.PENANAlNKOV1p6Ci
Iaosur tilted his head to the side and tapped his foot on the ground, feeling like something was very wrong with Eneizar's explanation.965Please respect copyright.PENANAaqDRs6hXKn
965Please respect copyright.PENANAoHUx7bdJ0k
But Zoe's mind wasn't registering everything Eneizar was saying; she was going with the flow, “Then that makes it my fault. Where is he?”965Please respect copyright.PENANAi2BRMa4kTI
965Please respect copyright.PENANAK0Ekqs2XyQ
Eneizar rubbed his chin and thought how to answer without looking suspicious.965Please respect copyright.PENANAI6jLaEzoDJ
965Please respect copyright.PENANAeO5ESUzkZ1
“Much like the hunters, Hiset knows about the cursed houses. He probably found one and got Ezekiel in there.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAdTj4GhI20f
965Please respect copyright.PENANARGSx1vdC6z
Iaosur tugged on Zoe’s hand, having something to say.965Please respect copyright.PENANAGQWG4U0AJl
965Please respect copyright.PENANANcZh94e5x1
“We should talk to the uppers, they should feel it. We can even ask the fairy since he’s an informant.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAfghLNLdndT
965Please respect copyright.PENANAiR4SnlKxTG
She nodded and sighed, “Go tell Mammon about this. I’m sure he will be interested to find that one of his demons went against him. And, keep Jasper safe,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAqRnIztBUZf
965Please respect copyright.PENANAcOWivDz57Z
Iaosur frowned, “What? He has Elijah! He can take care of-“965Please respect copyright.PENANAHqlmY52l4M
965Please respect copyright.PENANAEtbqhQw0Te
She shook her head and stared deeply into his eyes, making him swallow the rest of the words. She really became his master, hasn’t she?965Please respect copyright.PENANAvsKqPY5nQ4
965Please respect copyright.PENANAZMlcUMUKEd
“That is exactly why I want you to keep an eye on him. You made Elijah a low level demon. You take responsibility,”965Please respect copyright.PENANALxBzzRAHE8
965Please respect copyright.PENANAmJXUoKEiyY
Iaosur scoffed and disappeared.965Please respect copyright.PENANAlHw4caDpiu
965Please respect copyright.PENANA9yG26LlszV
Now that Iaosur was gone, Zoe's eyes narrowed at Eneizar and grasped her hand in pain.965Please respect copyright.PENANA4AFrwjgw9z
965Please respect copyright.PENANAJ18T7JUBeM
“You know where the house is. Take me to it.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAczKHfvMFj2
965Please respect copyright.PENANAtYn1LekMLm
The demon smirked, “As you wish.”965Please respect copyright.PENANA3OQzfsW8ET
965Please respect copyright.PENANAsjUTZKkHOH
His plan was going smoothly.965Please respect copyright.PENANAs2ndwSERAq
On the way to Essex, because she was aware what train she got into, Eneizar was very silent which wasn't a characteristic of his. She noticed ghosts watching her from afar and she noticed the uncertainty on their faces.965Please respect copyright.PENANA0mKGslzhm0
965Please respect copyright.PENANAkkZagLa2pT
“They’re worried,” Eneizar started, grabbing her hand and squeezing it. That was a kind gesture and his kind gestures were suspicious.965Please respect copyright.PENANAPB2nyGr9GT
965Please respect copyright.PENANAWx52eaMlIy
Truthfully, she knew something was fishy, she could feel it. Besides, demons were creatures who knew how to lie better than humans could say the truth and she learned that on her own skin a very long time ago. She lived with Mehrdir harassing her yet she still kept him close because he was the one thing that seemed real in her life; either that or she was a masochist.965Please respect copyright.PENANAlA6pLt6hNN
965Please respect copyright.PENANAyoygy1Pssw
“What has Ezekiel been doing for the last two days?” She asked, aware that Eneizar's answers may as well be all lies.965Please respect copyright.PENANAaMzXHVZ9II
965Please respect copyright.PENANAwwSMx6ZPrU
Eneizar raised an eyebrow and placed his hand back on his lap.965Please respect copyright.PENANAdcmG8Tdq0I
965Please respect copyright.PENANAw97aszz3Y6
“How should I know? I’m not his babysitter.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAOsRwN2AXa6
965Please respect copyright.PENANAk2H6uB3SyY
She glanced at a certain ghost; the woman was shaking her head dismissively at the demon.965Please respect copyright.PENANArPv1Skg2fA
965Please respect copyright.PENANA2MsEyYSg4P
“How did you find out then?” Eneizar turned and stared at her but she wasn’t even looking at him; she was looking ahead with a poker face, “If Hiset was after Ezekiel, then you knew where Ezekiel was and what he was doing,” Her logic made sense.965Please respect copyright.PENANAqquLt7qn3G
965Please respect copyright.PENANAGbA8Ly4WwB
“Just because I can track humans doesn’t mean I do it in my free time too. In Hell, there is this rule you have to obey or else you get punished. That is, never interfere when the enemy is your equal. For short, Hiset and I are high level demons; we can’t interfere into each other’s work. We can only interfere when a lower demon does it.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAZByOlzSk06
965Please respect copyright.PENANA7yqtA5xJiX
His theory made as much sense as bullocks. She knew that but she had to nod and go along with it; besides, what he said was completely contradicting with his past behaviour. He's been interfering a lot in Iaosur’s and Mehrdir’s businesses.965Please respect copyright.PENANAqUtC1qC7Se
965Please respect copyright.PENANAUDtGkFPCnv
Once they arrived in Essex, Zoe’s sign started to glow more and more, her eyes started to burn and she was slowly tearing up. Eneizar grabbed her hand tightly and smirked because he knew she wouldn't be able to open her eyes and see where she was going anymore. She had to keep her eyes closed in order to suppress her powers and all Eneizar could think was perfect.965Please respect copyright.PENANAtIOPxlmCfp
965Please respect copyright.PENANAfe4qGyB42C
“Trust me. I will lead you to the house.” The demon muttered, holding her hand while wrapping one arm around her waist.965Please respect copyright.PENANAkUyCSdKkWL
965Please respect copyright.PENANAlPFz3NNNe8
She scoffed, “Trust is a big word for you, Eneizar.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAd07DgfqEu1
965Please respect copyright.PENANAfWpjT9ctp3
The vanity demon chuckled bemusedly. His plan was going better than he imagined.965Please respect copyright.PENANAisY2p6rf4p
Ezekiel woke up with a knot in his stomach, literally; his wound wasn’t bleeding anymore but it didn't look well either.965Please respect copyright.PENANAcCgbmseTFS
965Please respect copyright.PENANAPT8eLOjP0e
Thankfully, he had enough power to get up and look around; he was in the middle of an empty living room in a place that looked haunted.965Please respect copyright.PENANAXUtQ3vouFF
965Please respect copyright.PENANAO21rQNhzLM
Ezekiel sighed and grabbed a hand through his messy hair, “I should have imagined,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAlnlsva6eLj
965Please respect copyright.PENANA9G3oORA8CF
He inspected the few things in the room: there was a table in the corner, right in front of a mirror; a fireplace, of course; there was no Siberian carpet on the floor, unfortunately but he was standing in a middle of a drawn circle with a few weird signs written around it. Ezekiel was in deep trouble.965Please respect copyright.PENANADZDLrEG69T
965Please respect copyright.PENANAEDNhqynXk4
“So you woke up,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAMPakc8fk8G
965Please respect copyright.PENANAPA7HMd8FCk
The person who appeared from thin air in front of the fireplace –kind of like Santa in his childhood stories- was none other than-965Please respect copyright.PENANAct8caNepbH
965Please respect copyright.PENANADwCUuga9LL
“Asmodeus,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAX2enMf4QWZ
965Please respect copyright.PENANA71vvABGp8n
The prince of lust was standing there in all his glory, watching his prey with fiery red eyes.965Please respect copyright.PENANAmGFCC12H1s
965Please respect copyright.PENANAcbZ8JdEAH0
“You got me here and this is a trap for Zoe, isn’t it?”965Please respect copyright.PENANAszv9QSnSWZ
965Please respect copyright.PENANAxkGystcnDF
The demon shrugged innocently, “Not exactly. You are an interesting human, Zek,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAqLiGDDkI6D
965Please respect copyright.PENANAWd7PvnZ4sY
The human cringed when he heard the elder emphasize his name.965Please respect copyright.PENANAXuBAcDgDHL
965Please respect copyright.PENANA06TJksynqd
“You raised from an insignificant something to Zoe’s legacy. You should be proud of yourself,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAGtGrd8Omr1
965Please respect copyright.PENANAZQrGNCW5lb
Ezekiel was proud of himself but not for that reason; he became family for Zoe. That was far greater than some stupid legacy.965Please respect copyright.PENANA4giThl5OKo
965Please respect copyright.PENANAwnkJF3vv1k
The human scoffed, “What’s your point? I’m sure I have something of great importance if you appeared before me.”965Please respect copyright.PENANACnigZqS0Lm
965Please respect copyright.PENANALRXwx4Vuvp
“Your life. I want half of your life; more exactly, you die earlier and get to Hell while I get the rest of it,” Asmodeus explained, gesturing here and there.965Please respect copyright.PENANAQc1IDgtNn9
965Please respect copyright.PENANAjCSfHKDyZy
Ezekiel frowned and crawled closer to the prince, “How is that a deal? I will get to Hell anyway,”965Please respect copyright.PENANA9xY94DwomS
965Please respect copyright.PENANAzT1gWPTlD7
The demon prince rolled his eyes.965Please respect copyright.PENANA15FF5rR4uh
965Please respect copyright.PENANAEKsHM2QUML
“That little Zoe will do anything to keep you away from Hell. She’s ready to give up everything just so she could protect you but why do you need her protection when you can do it yourself?”965Please respect copyright.PENANAVJTh1pF1bD
965Please respect copyright.PENANAyo9GKf6sPJ
That was the beginning of some crazy idea; the human could already sense it.965Please respect copyright.PENANAUjuj0wjTFv
965Please respect copyright.PENANAtrH1itonEp
“We both know you wanted to give half of your life to Mammon. That greedy demon knows nothing, he does nothing and most of his demons left him. I can do something for you, though,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAeoauxClvzA
965Please respect copyright.PENANAe9UROEwxvd
Ezekiel rolled his eyes but gave in, “What can you do?”965Please respect copyright.PENANAM6BM220txZ
965Please respect copyright.PENANAFQcN8rG7rn
Asmodeus smirked.965Please respect copyright.PENANA5B2GCrnJP8
965Please respect copyright.PENANA1wxcEov8yG
“I can guarantee that I will take you under my wing once you die. I can also guarantee that you will be a free soul. You can do whatever you want!” He took a step closer and leaned in, “I can guarantee that you will become a demon, in the first place. Human souls rarely become something greater than food. What do you say?” He whispered, his red eyes staring intensely into Ezekiel's.965Please respect copyright.PENANA7HcfvncIAH
965Please respect copyright.PENANAYJhyvN7EML
“I say no.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAaWTkxnLpRa
965Please respect copyright.PENANAy245qGn9vn
Asmodeus narrowed his eyes at the human, making him shiver at the sight of those deadly eyes.965Please respect copyright.PENANA9Psp0vVBXU
965Please respect copyright.PENANAEqGbLIsUUk
“I don’t want to have anything to do with you and creatures like you. You know nothing but lies and hatred,” Ezekiel spat with hatred and he had a very good point but that didn’t mean it reached the lust prince.965Please respect copyright.PENANAdGJcDUPn1Z
965Please respect copyright.PENANAIKOoAY3vPX
Asmodeus grabbed Ezekiel’s arm and turned it so he could see Zoe’s sign.965Please respect copyright.PENANAYdUzOIhHmf
965Please respect copyright.PENANAFP9fK83xaB
“If you don’t give it to me, I will personally lock Zoe in a cell in Neverland. That’s a place she will never be able to escape. She will rot,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAFzG5I9lsr6
965Please respect copyright.PENANACRO7ch1EVS
That hit a sensible chord in the human. Zoe was family therefore, she became part of his life and he was ready to give up his pitiful life just so she would be safe; she was his weak point.965Please respect copyright.PENANAG1gh2gcUvN
965Please respect copyright.PENANAyxGrt1ELP0
“She has Beelzebub on her side,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAYndr6trtUM
965Please respect copyright.PENANA8ti2xyJqE3
Ezekiel cringed when Asmodeus cut right through the middle of the sign. It hurt more than it was supposed to; it felt a lot like his insides were torn apart and someone was squeezing his heart; he coughed blood and one of his ears started to ring.965Please respect copyright.PENANAljxmY3Gwmg
965Please respect copyright.PENANAFmNnvARTRt
“This is the pain you will feel for eternity if you don’t do what I say,”965Please respect copyright.PENANA1ieA6PRT0s
965Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Z4VjiX8k
Ezekiel closed his eyes tightly and embraced himself for worse but it didn’t come. Asmodeus decided that physical pain wasn’t very useful so he tried something else. He smirked and made a sign for someone to enter.965Please respect copyright.PENANA2OD2ic9pcP
965Please respect copyright.PENANAq09Gyxi5gf
Ezekiel’s eyes widened, “Alice! What have you done to her?”965Please respect copyright.PENANAZDxoqrdxXe
965Please respect copyright.PENANAaANv3YeTNZ
Asmodeus shrugged and walked behind her. “Nothing. She has been a vessel from the beginning. Not mine, of course but Belial’s.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAOgBKEPj5fn
965Please respect copyright.PENANAKNXuoDVMxU
The human frowned and fell on his knees. He could feel his wound opening and the blood oozing down his lap.965Please respect copyright.PENANA4v35RMkaIE
965Please respect copyright.PENANAdWwY7ZfGGA
“It seems he wanted to keep an eye on both sides. There is the Loved One, who wants a rebellion; he wants to rise and conquer the Middle World and then there are the others. The leader is none other than Beelzebub. He likes the way Hell is and doesn’t want to pass the veil. He’s content with what he has and how the world goes around,” He swayed his finger around in the air before he continued, ”Pitiful,” He spat, “They’re weak.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAdZUvkMCbWU
965Please respect copyright.PENANAHzl4npl79J
Ezekiel rolled his eyes, “And why is my life so precious, again? I’m sure, as Zoe’s legacy, I can’t start a rebellion.”965Please respect copyright.PENANApDm26FP4E3
965Please respect copyright.PENANANRTT4lvUVr
“You are the link between the Middle World and the Afterlife. You haven’t done anything evil for now and your pact has been nullified by her and she used her own sign to clean you up of the Devil, let’s say,” That was definitely not how it felt but Ezekiel let the demon continue, “But you already have a deep and strong connection to Hell. The higher ups don’t want you to leave this beautiful and majestic lifestyle. You either choose me and Lucifer or Beelzebub.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAWk0hypJHvJ
965Please respect copyright.PENANAQJyXzS3UqY
Ezekiel was ready to respond when Asmodeus grabbed a knife from his back pocket and gave it to Alice. In the trance she was in, she placed it dangerously close to her neck, ready to slice off when the prince wanted to.965Please respect copyright.PENANAdJjrafodGj
965Please respect copyright.PENANApBDmT3WKSS
Ezekiel gulped and tried to get out of the circle but instead, he got thrown back, “What are you doing? Let her go! She doesn’t have anything to do with this!”965Please respect copyright.PENANA7wQp6EDFH6
965Please respect copyright.PENANA8mDTBibl6C
The demon laughed loudly, the house shaking at the sound.965Please respect copyright.PENANArBt91GHC0j
965Please respect copyright.PENANAEyaC7Gd2bS
“This is the dark side, kid. There’s no free will in here, that’s why I’m giving you a solution. Die now and she will walk out unharmed. Die later and you will probably not see her ever again.”965Please respect copyright.PENANA54KBjgtY7s
965Please respect copyright.PENANAGoLxqp390H
Ezekiel’s eyes were locked on Alice’s hand. She was going to slice her neck if Asmodeus wanted that.965Please respect copyright.PENANAQUDuwLfMwz
965Please respect copyright.PENANAvhmCSEmaKA
“5 seconds until the impact,”965Please respect copyright.PENANA0Uk0nAhpYJ
965Please respect copyright.PENANAPiqohde5YU
Ezekiel didn’t want to die but he didn’t want her to die aimlessly either.965Please respect copyright.PENANAeYbMn5JRgZ
965Please respect copyright.PENANA0mnoimyIuT
“4 seconds, Ezekiel. Decide now.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAHaQkGsaNS8
965Please respect copyright.PENANABua5d5BvsN
Asmodeus noticed the inner struggle in his eyes. It was pointless; dead or alive, Belial was still going to use Alice’s body if he wanted so.965Please respect copyright.PENANAHAkGxmOiBc
965Please respect copyright.PENANAKR3aPnrxp0
“3, 2, 1.” The lust prince counted quickly.965Please respect copyright.PENANACv2UdcYhQW
965Please respect copyright.PENANApTpzt7yg66
The girl sliced her neck and blood gushed out. The demon kicked her body aside and walked towards the human; he bent in front of him and flicked his forehead. Ezekiel felt his head getting heavier and his pulse getting faster.965Please respect copyright.PENANA9U7FQhFeds
965Please respect copyright.PENANAwVokpIlA4q
“Let's wait for Zoe in silence,” He whispered before the human fainted.965Please respect copyright.PENANAy1OYriUVCR
“Are we there yet?”965Please respect copyright.PENANABYDFyKAZRd
965Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ5KGj85qr
Eneizar rolled his eyes. She asked that for a few times and the answer was the same.965Please respect copyright.PENANAIhKCkdi33G
965Please respect copyright.PENANAX380rFE36U
“No-oh. Wait. Yes. We’re here.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAMwsqKcndZC
965Please respect copyright.PENANA94bOTA5S5U
They only walked for ten minutes. It wasn’t even that far but she was klutz and he had to walk very slowly so she wouldn’t trip over something.965Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ax2zaHtjc
965Please respect copyright.PENANAZshpPvU8mn
Eneizar helped her walk up the stairs and into the Revenge House. The building made a loud noise once she entered it.965Please respect copyright.PENANAxIi5QG2JvJ
965Please respect copyright.PENANAWsNX8iPbyz
Zoe sighed and opened her eyes, the stinging feeling disappearing completely. Eneizar led her into the living room and her eyes noticed immediately the seal; moreover, there was someone in it. She gulped and prayed it wasn’t him.965Please respect copyright.PENANAK3R5LNerBk
965Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ4dJvI0Yi
Unfortunately, it was. Zoe ran to Ezekiel but she couldn't enter the seal, “Zek! Ezekiel, wake up! Let’s go home,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAWX9GnD6Vhc
965Please respect copyright.PENANAuHZwI4lHt9
“He’s not going to wake up anytime soon. I took care of that personally,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAj6mk94JUzf
965Please respect copyright.PENANAtvAsVSa4Gu
She froze at that low and annoying voice but instead of glaring at him, she glared at Eneizar.965Please respect copyright.PENANAUyoIEMvhqh
965Please respect copyright.PENANAjzq853Rbxm
“What’s he doing here?”965Please respect copyright.PENANARDyKnQZWRx
965Please respect copyright.PENANAO9ZYizYwdA
Eneizar took a few steps back and let Asmodeus take the lead from there.965Please respect copyright.PENANATzZjpU7ND3
965Please respect copyright.PENANA28Ut6ZmGfl
"Displeasure to meet you, as well. You see, Zoe, Ezekiel here wanted to make a deal with higher demons; for his life,”965Please respect copyright.PENANALeP5JDwfDc
965Please respect copyright.PENANAcDC32NTyMt
She couldn’t quite believe that, “I’m sure he wouldn’t have come to you.”965Please respect copyright.PENANAFGGZy0SwSb
965Please respect copyright.PENANAGz2XC4CMGs
Asmodeus raised an eyebrow. She could see through his vessel so he didn’t need it so he walked out of the body and let it fall on the ground.965Please respect copyright.PENANAvF6ZB9gWJ8
965Please respect copyright.PENANA4J3YybHsUS
“Your precious Mehrdir told Ezekiel to make a deal with Mammon. We both know why; Mammon’s power is slowly fading away. He doesn’t have strong demons on his side anymore. Ezekiel would make an amazing greed demon since his jealousy on your powers has increased greatly,” Asmodeus begun, pacing in front of her.965Please respect copyright.PENANAftTbDMF5st
965Please respect copyright.PENANASEa96rDx7e
“He’s not jealous. He’s been next to me for the whole ride and he knows how hard it is,”965Please respect copyright.PENANA9h4o0b9CrO
965Please respect copyright.PENANADjknI3ROdW
Asmodeus raised an eyebrow and cracked a smile.965Please respect copyright.PENANAlkDKHS5ORe
965Please respect copyright.PENANAfEAFXBNkn5
“Is he? He made a pact but you took that away from him. He wanted to become one with the dark world from the beginning but you didn’t give him any glimpse until recently. He’s always been jealous, Zoe. You got entangled into the dark world but you’ve trying to keep him out of it, out of the world he wanted to know so badly,” Asmodeus crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned towards Eneizar, “How would you feel if you were in his skin, Eneizar?”965Please respect copyright.PENANAF3J8fHw9BC
965Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6qIZRB3ln
“Frustrated.”965Please respect copyright.PENANABahLVHPvpB
965Please respect copyright.PENANAP81efyjmX1
Asmodeus turned to Zoe with a triumphant smirk.965Please respect copyright.PENANAWmD3BkXlrT
965Please respect copyright.PENANAifnYLfqfrB
“See? You don’t know Ezekiel. You don’t know Mehrdir either. You know nothing,”965Please respect copyright.PENANAvQtq9kA5o1
965Please respect copyright.PENANAyT5ocOFoy0
She gulped and remembered her next door friends; they were demons as well; vessels for demons. They didn’t move coincidentally. Nothing was coincidental.965Please respect copyright.PENANAch0l9fosUd
965Please respect copyright.PENANAL4ybsMXWGu
Eneizar watched Zoe very closely. She was hurt and didn’t know what was a lie and what was the true anymore; she was breaking in small pieces right in front of him.965Please respect copyright.PENANAdLflVIQKgr
965Please respect copyright.PENANAOCeAavlA2G
His pride cracked a little bit because he’s been there, beside her, ever since she found out she was the commander. Eneizar was there when she met Ezekiel; heck, he nudged her towards him, in the first place; besides, even in Hell, she confronted Lucifer for him. She wanted to see him so badly because he was a source of comfort for her.965Please respect copyright.PENANAE8SUH9jqpT

“So then, Zoe. Should I kill you now or should I keep you alive and lock you in Neverland for the time being?”965Please respect copyright.PENANAn2yVllu4aM
965Please respect copyright.PENANAdnvgATdnlR
She blinked, already dying on the inside. Asmodeus' work was done there; he got her to the point where she saw how cruel was Hell and how lonely she was.965Please respect copyright.PENANA6HTIiQXhi5
965Please respect copyright.PENANAF6a6SC7RMo
Asmodeus was ready to keep his word when something stopped him. He looked outside and heard a high pitched sound; the others were coming. The lust prince had to leave but he couldn’t leave Zoe like that so he pushed her inside the seal and glared at Eneizar before he disappeared.965Please respect copyright.PENANAe8yuooWfzJ
That night, Zoe didn't even know what was real anymore; she was worried and didn't move from Ezekiel's side. She was still shocked that he would give half of his life in order to gain the evil glint of Hell.965Please respect copyright.PENANA2RcDEwB26B
965Please respect copyright.PENANAeNNjsAneXY
Besides, she never imagined that her neighbours were actually hosts of demon princes. How could she know? That was the reason they moved in the flat next door and that was why Mark was so bright all the time. She was so confused and had no idea whom to trust and who was whom.965Please respect copyright.PENANAz6rnWL4luJ
965Please respect copyright.PENANA68EHT8zrfB
She cried in that little corner of hers, waiting for someone to find them. She didn't expect to get Ezekiel so entangled and Mehrdir was nowhere in sight; her sign was hidden and she had no way to get out of that circle.965Please respect copyright.PENANAV6JwhIU8kk
965Please respect copyright.PENANASxTFmhkt1N
"I got myself in this. Freaking demons and their stupid rules,"965Please respect copyright.PENANAxfsYExOiMz
965Please respect copyright.PENANAU5iUGsgTSV
She sighed and pulled her head between her hands. It was just so complicated and she got in over her head.965Please respect copyright.PENANA9CSrGgkPOq
Zoe didn't know when the nightmare begun but she knew she was dreaming.965Please respect copyright.PENANAuP4FmtTJPe
She was in a small room and out of reflex, she looked after Ezekiel. He wasn't there, of course but Mehrdir was, staring at her, talking but she couldn't hear a thing.965Please respect copyright.PENANAM40s2LogRk
965Please respect copyright.PENANALJnaQORpkq
“I can’t hear you. I’m not sure I want to, actually,” She trailed, taking a step closer.965Please respect copyright.PENANA7bsYavt8v7
965Please respect copyright.PENANAVpryEGqpxa
Zoe reached out but he couldn’t hear her either, he couldn’t even feel her; there was a glass wall between them. She frowned and hit it hard; again and again, she hit in different spots hoping she could find the soft spot and break it.965Please respect copyright.PENANAba7GuMSWem
965Please respect copyright.PENANAWKhKEqNkrI
The ground shook suddenly and Mehrdir disappeared. She stumbled and fell against the wall, her eyes instantly looking out and noticing that she was being moved. She could see paintings and different chairs, wallpaper and she frowned because they were way too big; that, or the problem was her; she was too small.965Please respect copyright.PENANAHlOBJB2ilk
965Please respect copyright.PENANARTbFLV1MYA
Like a caught rat, she could only watch where she was being taken to; hopefully, it wasn't anything weird. Surveying the place, she noticed she has been placed on a table in front of a mirror as she was in a bottle; she was seriously freaking out because she was dressed in a white long dress and she was barefoot.965Please respect copyright.PENANACT6O5WYawe
965Please respect copyright.PENANAVEBN7KgcbB
"Can you hear me?"965Please respect copyright.PENANAx0fJeLbY0H
965Please respect copyright.PENANAm03c0nLnhm
Her eyes widened and her head snapped to the side; she could only see a pair of red lips. The person was whispering like she was trying not to disturb Zoe.965Please respect copyright.PENANAiJE1tgjKuR
965Please respect copyright.PENANAakbcK3o1ug
The commander blinked and looked into the mirror, walking closer to it with a frown.965Please respect copyright.PENANAYzaercgvqD
965Please respect copyright.PENANAKg1O9YWcnU
"Can you hear me?" The voice sounded louder for some reason.965Please respect copyright.PENANAU1bdXfx6kd
965Please respect copyright.PENANAk7f6Di7xR8
Zoe looked into the mirror again and the image shifted; she wasn't in the bottle anymore, she was outside of it, dressed in a black Victorian dress, her hair rose in a very stylish bun and her lips were bright red.965Please respect copyright.PENANAawRDwOYnOe
965Please respect copyright.PENANAohpAzPwKFe
Bright red lips like the ones whispering.965Please respect copyright.PENANA35Z0J6INW0
965Please respect copyright.PENANAH3h6NRy8Df
"Can you hear me?" The voice got louder and louder.965Please respect copyright.PENANA1zN8TdCmk9
965Please respect copyright.PENANAQQnyj2rYOc
The bottle wasn’t there anymore but something was definitely on the table. It looked a lot like-965Please respect copyright.PENANAlAYL2Tu5ja
965Please respect copyright.PENANA9eYFmB78Dm
"A body," Zoe trailed before she turned around quickly and closed her eyes. She flinched when she heard the voice again and she covered her ears, "Please, leave me alone,"965Please respect copyright.PENANAZZGqyGYqab
965Please respect copyright.PENANApwCW5etAw9
Suddenly, everything was silent; well, except the music.965Please respect copyright.PENANAi2N7HlUZgs
965Please respect copyright.PENANAc7t92fOtxq
Zoe opened her eyes when she heard the music. She noticed she wasn't in the white dress anymore and she was wearing shoes. She also saw the gramophone and recognized the song; it was one she had to dance on when her grandparents would come over, or any relative for that matter. Her mother wanted her to be an artist but she didn't have any talent.965Please respect copyright.PENANAMsobSsqJ4r
965Please respect copyright.PENANAJgM4b16j04
Her eyes landed on the table; a body was spread on it, shirtless and had some pentagram drawn on the chest. She frowned and got a weird feeling; she was getting scared fast because she was already anticipating who was there. Zoe gulped and took a shaky step closer. Her eyes widened; it wasn't Ezekiel. Even worse, it was Chen.965Please respect copyright.PENANAcysrQPae84
965Please respect copyright.PENANAjXxPwtLO5B
Zoe couldn't understand why Chen since he had the least connection to demons and her. She ran to his side and checked if he was still alive but while searching for pulse, her eyes landed on the mirror again. Her hands were covered in blood; the same on his chest; besides, it looked a lot like she was trying to get the energy out of him and kill him instead of safely securing him.965Please respect copyright.PENANAzI0a094FLF
965Please respect copyright.PENANAWReauk02u0
Her wide eyes moved back on his face quickly and she jumped in surprise when she saw that his eyes were open; one was black while the other was white. His face contorted into an angry expression and he grabbed her by the neck, pressing really hard while she couldn't find any will to fight back.965Please respect copyright.PENANANdNVdvY9gY
965Please respect copyright.PENANAYW2f7TWBjK
"Can you hear me?" It was not the moment for loud voices in her head to speak up but that didn't seem to matter, "Can you hear me, Commander?" Her eyes were moving around chaotically, searching for the source of that voice, "You are dead." The tone sounded so venomous.965Please respect copyright.PENANAF5tlYQGb55
965Please respect copyright.PENANAPkydiMIZGa
Zoe closed her eyes tightly and hoped she wasn't going to die.965Please respect copyright.PENANAfCPulGQbht
965Please respect copyright.PENANA7tEwR5gsW6
DEAD!965Please respect copyright.PENANAyi3kPsRiOg
965Please respect copyright.PENANAJEQcMAcN1n
Zoe woke up with a jolt, her body trembling and that voice still haunting her mind even if she wasn't dreaming anymore.965Please respect copyright.PENANAuwtt2SyThx
965Please respect copyright.PENANAKjhqil2HvV
Unfortunately, she was still in the circle next to an unconscious Ezekiel.965Please respect copyright.PENANAqt4UDKn3AJ
965Please respect copyright.PENANAh7IbAljUmX
"Can you hear me?" Zoe whispered and brought her knees close to her chest.965Please respect copyright.PENANA8nQjMkbOIx
965Please respect copyright.PENANAM52QQRjruO
She closed her eyes and bit her lip, feeling something wet drip down her cheeks. It was so much to take in but what hurt the most was the fact that no matter what, she was still so lonely.965Please respect copyright.PENANAX79J4Ljv6n
965Please respect copyright.PENANA9cGJDokS9L
"Can you hear me, Mehrdir?" She repeated, her voice broken.965Please respect copyright.PENANANve6pyX2TX
965Please respect copyright.PENANA42VlMNp1Ub
That demon was the only thing she could hold onto and she hoped he wouldn't jump out of her grasp.
