423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m52VrrrCL
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FbMzXbXTK

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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPkpctd34H

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IQIOczBRa
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kx1A45YCn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRIEPmsExY
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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yawwexc48
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhkfNgJCoa
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyj0DB5vBk
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz2XFttpUK
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1q9V7sobC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6snQrjxrjR
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6w1mbmomj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JiluibUUs
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYaarZdlen
"Aren't you scared?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVvwov1pv3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEiQStS52g
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2qaeiwVvb
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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zXIUzeIow
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbTkIDTYUF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWVO26ObDY
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh125v621ZC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq0OCZqoDH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb13IocDzsQ
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhhscs1FZM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiizu2h72lo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn8GGTjMWn
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzknSP2WTh3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGElEGrhnRT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskUqL8wc4X
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgDvocr14A
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJheXDyK8J9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20iCfodjXF
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUWPwdDme9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4OMvZvz2c
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk8auL945T
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?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0s7PLB9qa
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwRQvMSBxI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwUd3pyZ8W
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n4m5mv7Au

"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiXU65wr1L
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmJZZSHMuL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk4WxrGIhK
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6kxF66asN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XXuiemUTH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoiS5Mb1BP
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3U4BxPX4A
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXGS4XoNUh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k2fbtf91r
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqnXvwKeFI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWhx1rBSm4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vXPsPKOer
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAtj0ftUr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYuZ33NHdn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWmDsrr8j5
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBpvyY29uN
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCE9xamrIR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J2n2yJ5io
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKCu6NOWxX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MHsZRCGow
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL4NmCTudF
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mj3uR3ob9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0M2eV54iQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQfayFkuUM
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjT6AVrwPH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQlmNS2Sth
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY158ayAyOJ
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpsj88fAwo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4uXhRjNXk
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEt5tOp7OX
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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv42yUHf6gJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjeCPkYeUH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCnGmtm6ro
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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc09zpDNDTm
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KkoKTQCYy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiETIpP8AB
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2MDeOCcmK
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcibgp3ZWmK
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr8bmOI3sH
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CXPHcHgYP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74SWDTAWa3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmAC0lUhcp
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJTZUyvaVY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasordsRMjD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0udFD9nhW
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dWs2lbu98
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ420213meO4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWrAufsBsh
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRGaMwYDxd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVIq3cGmOy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDQAg3Si8q
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPF9wAVN6e
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke5HbCeL8L
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPCHSVwiqh
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUUoYu07dP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE99J3HQP8V
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlr5ANr1Hw
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVGke1YEry
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf40hmsDj7f
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3jUR5xkib
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu0KLUcSdj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLpjqU8txx
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjryBJ9e0E
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVx0C7wNNT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopwbVC8WhA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmX5U6W3my
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9h6FzMRGR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng5iXyAAVh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTEyThqB53
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?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePWmVSmS4E
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AK1Z3Xu3h
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VaMPiiper
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy9PAmyL60
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4sCZXNhVu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MH3s6i5aH
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrIt96vzzy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgHWHc599z
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRiy4pK0ng
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtVnWUDvoj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gkwqHzSiy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBZNtcbnRH
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zVdxFiP3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWExaQA4or
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGt3BMS4wX
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnqMFZrRzE
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjuOIMugih
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWRlqFEpCp
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LpxHswdpC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSFBRkyFKb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX73t12f7QC
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyxE71QqPm
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFxD90aZ5d
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSihoseiAZT
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQadT4aoUiy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefXhpGA2Ni
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH7tFLlMXc
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl6lf7dJBh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLOqvO1tW8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG7fuYqrva
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0PKXZwafo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1lhSjMGq4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUYZTF5jZt
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVVi4qSvzb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRomlikxW4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNs4V8Z17m
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EqwknifCl
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ3DJlpj5B
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqJ71sXTFM

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8E1P4WnEg
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlz75T1vbY

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNz1gUu5jt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFl8IqLL9m
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRqfsaXxSt
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO4kfgGqcT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQVDnRQDnC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnGEaf9zCC
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZf1CaEcGk
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f8FEbyokQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKx7tVBzoy
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwNStcDjLX
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIgXsjpwGS
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkYRvJK2D4
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNqkEEN1hu
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAQjHB6Flt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqfT8TGIwQ
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp9wmjPmLv
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkAeS0nY0e
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TUoirjVcb
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcteBI7gcsn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjXcghU96M
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScf6sL2aU5

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG10Gp9muFB
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr3Uf7Lk8q
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDau6dFkwQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnz57uKg4w
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerIpNS4FMl
"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJavC2OSz6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII2CFCRQfA
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDIzXGg2Ht
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVxiCGPGtm
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLCQNzNIrO
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsz9nqhUH9
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwmYJhSric

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT1KoEjWtg
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj78Gk3KhYw
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZZ0WlAxux
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNVUzAg7y3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdGxvTPsOG
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn81UOFQ6ct
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KIKhTL7p5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx6yC0l2jN
"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R9kY8cfbI
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfE3ky8jE0
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4InClGb35

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFvqjE3vo4
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IdJ9rQ4tH

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2QGVMfCKk
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFbMMWm7Jo

Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1A4ndrA9e

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaiGca36tm
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBhdgmOHup

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfGL7fV0JZ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs2M81q1to
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfIZPyqOE1

"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BEiyWAd0h

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUdlAVDXIo
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LqoMGkt2k
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7zdqki8LR

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxA9DNMkrd
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqf7qUzKfW

"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRgksz7RZC

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4TigK37yf
"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.

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXFAilJBVl
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG33wcRy3M

"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.

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUtw4wKKTr

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC16GBshVbg

"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1FKxj3OHu

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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r02T9PXV6

"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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibuJVT3mt1

"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?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8inrkCe1z
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FIXEhXm0n
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y2ma9KZVL
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoY2DrcDx2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5kXZMTFoi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6vWFt4onO
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe3LN2nEgT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSusUrbR9y
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsom95SJKFH
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJcUgDbMLT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Hw3v7amT
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlt4mIbJXg
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0AOsrcj02
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG7XTWbQxy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkvTQj9rLm
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62aAkFHY3g
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwq8fxuTmb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGDBXqy02I
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6deJxrDil
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtK0DT2BNk
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprqOTFwpSi
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a4dzaDDYD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9N4XE9zJl
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmLCn9SnfN
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?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nxSI0VGfE
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGIljJ67ou
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIIAcuWJXS
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?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmm4Ew7BWr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIViLqaSJLF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Rb8n6gwW
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3qubDBl45
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMv6yyH0fR
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LwQIu7da4
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZdSUuxGeZ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZjeTxhqCy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjeoEgFO8J
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCmEo8C9Ov
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfsoqpDZnC
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXeWjyLeiK
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzxvYv65VF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oHJ7MZusd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4BX1cGfTJ
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHKbIGb9MJ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuGlwJiI7j
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7ZOm6U7XW
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3MeUf66Kh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWerJeg1vOz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJlvR32fIH
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iKGUXMUwV
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLblYRpbh6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60WNdmOj6K
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0PHciSqnh
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VJ2jI6yIG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZLztlGMqQ
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdMiPGzugK
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddKqemyqjt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5P9A2p3Bo
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUc1ySWkIH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSozcTJzbgY
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PLT0m52I4
"Same here," said Lucero.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiC5sccTk2
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tQhn4TL5i
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZK6ZAvJBz
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?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zxI8Jcvjs
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ79L4Ga6J
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVeT9VRypn
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?423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrMvjvYegt
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYeSY5F0KL
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYWJciHWIK
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSfrDPTZy6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmevOmT5L0I
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlGieLhGd4
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYAscWPyoe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i30ffeaTs
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgCLkUild8
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxH5OKcr1I
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuFQb004Ru
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKoGOgHda1
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?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLZ1Q6FQGK
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6S3TQlePy
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTefGhmxh3
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfxaLRJCvi
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTSjenJ8un
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopwxficAdX
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ2w1vLFNO
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseeezi8RLD
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyCVxwGL20
"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?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jMWhlQ8L8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V0ji0QFOw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR7kgwsHzN
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq45HW6eoP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1aAskedC9
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME9TsytUVw
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yz1FWLryb
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgcOkVRWJe
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTADqp6mc8Q
"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sUQUImj0A
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoQPEJtufr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmMn2BU8i3
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSgie56L96
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pDOC5QnQ4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWx6u6te3z
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMT1MpduN3
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI1Njf78DH
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIAVonnOYp
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmaTEd6aa4
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXmGechQS7
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58B1puHtgD
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDePOZcUqj
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzga8MIRl5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRia8G3r7nU
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAHfOtxzgp
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA1ValSh44
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGdCAhVn2F
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?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIeCqjfuZr
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9osyqqhAkM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkfJScoJeb
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7MgXcZX6P
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8NjfnGSP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxcDq9Kj4Z
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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFGd1CePC6
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS61c5gTvOn
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7BvubZhT6
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97PPtDRkqQ
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydwsMmtnbw
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSApKXB2yao
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA2OaYfVfF
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pCUodR3nP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0oFapHAnz
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIuX7mgStP
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTF5KJxnEM
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p3lQkBNE9
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMbxmpCh6h
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SSbBWrzr5
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tn2G2gbid
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ189A4TUVWG
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozIml6gVzz
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPFS0cNfhS
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoywDwGaUia
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrk0xIl25F
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nixs4uNCz
"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."423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq514iY18gd
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjgX9iSJ8Z
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA1jndhzvD

423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDqeQqQVX8
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IPARzCfej
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.423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡablaOJ5U3C
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZKT6Rtn4e
423Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPPzE5vUL0
