469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRUuXKYr9Q
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4EqsAU1Ej

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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwWA3w0dWw

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gdd8ruXH8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNCRQslQ9Q
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7Y8YwcvYA
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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBbEZr3KUp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg6SNGKY07
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4mBit3Xnd
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep4kFz3TpB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGTcbitasD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRUE1TpTNt
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw3VWKyNpf

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJQMjlOtlV
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJslPaCMOCc
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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyaoLPUUkL

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakeL0vYxBp
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rGPo2LesA
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFmC1ljozN
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5JyxdWtKL
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uEjIKs9S1
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO6eZT9CnJ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTvRTpmPHA
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVWkB5otV9
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d5e5yO69l
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlc3wO3U50
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWhr4xpXEP
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw4zGdiSjF
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOReQBwjfo
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHihgIDmcT
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49W18ePODl
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqNL0ek5hv
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?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCAO9CUbVf
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCb8eROkvo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9SyDkUE6g
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPpXAiRVoa

"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5qkPDC5Zx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZbb1RR9iZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6N2O47TMC
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLpJKP6jwY
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgLslN9Lgv
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt48JqPoLIJ
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE3E59z5dF
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre4eoI1RQb
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2o7aC1YZd
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvqQJKF1wH

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d52GXTftG
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeDOcmqe70
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMq69SQUfZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYgw1gibTg
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8qcEmE0QX
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDCPH9uu7E
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4bXKHIhre
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYVZf7CrCE
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcudB7dJnZp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLhjHCrSMQ
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRbgPpShLp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgOqDENIq0
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LkdDToshq
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdVlfqU5qp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopMWGWuZb3
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qn05a4AQY
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ1MPTd33K
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfqyzASFHI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIdyf4Hbbe
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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqFXquiTyn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9lwvrOs0X
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicZy8MMtXA
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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR2pw3lkkE
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4iQiSlmAb
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOVVFCq3Be
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0cOJrMqXX
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ242AAHEip2
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExlngwOVvL
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkSYCPnhot
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvUqtqHJY7
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L5N0OsADv
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46kDAmbnx3
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxMsnekPSy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fkmmIDGln
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeSGXchl0d
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspml9fZwUD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTd7Ole9kc
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91O0lmPFnC
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SSgKlDDlQ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAm4Td3siG
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInREQlCILk
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9dxwMFEVc
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o3bqG3q0G
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2OauoXPwd
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozaSbijbPR
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLbcoThdAZ
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFJ97bCkDz
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxWwzIi5ei
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8UyDMsGcD
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RZEnSMAmK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxddkm7t7I7
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu6f4Nep5c
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQvnl9lCAC
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz8GfLUeHr
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqmUzxosah
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvsfcENsoc
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh7ADJBF1f
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIDBzshyjQ
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?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWQVEZ0dC1
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBHszfkKrD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobqxAfyKkj
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipXJg8KK0v
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsXQDPcOsJ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d2q02VS7c
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIor4sPNNI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkFDjX7ud4
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMw3JNbn3N
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYAaVl8kDV
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkUgPLCMDH
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJNGqhUc0J
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2hWN4m5QZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8awwrgYhOz
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H2pUIjE3t
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqzeoep5kP
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ztfTZVRd
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJyT8LqFK1
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJfJzQAiGS
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpFkMbv4DM
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1crXRNin3D
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Kzz4Fzvr
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV2GLwDhoR
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYWTyNpKlD
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LuFnDKcUL
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlWUsVQGx4
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo52f4IDIZm
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRRwASMqy4
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2yq5Q6T4j
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2gDhIzqY7
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE26lf2vid
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZUGeU1oO5
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZqHWqX8fM
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB70Ns7VtN
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgmqZjefwb
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNNUhn0CbG
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFibVYTxPRb
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLYdmkj7aM
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XFmktG850

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxPDUNdwUR
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpotx626IIA

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOXltgtwKM
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0vcjMYpRY
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE3NuMSlBE
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiz0nKPn5i
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoyDsN3vFP
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PJC3nnPwn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiArhOnSRS9
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Yydmv5ql
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs7ohH54N6
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMCNnzXqSy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ6lng6zvq
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXQdEIn39z
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KNrEqekHo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe07lkWbf7
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZVC98vdXA

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTiC5glZWx
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWiNjgp0Ln
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwVDXyjdDR
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVoMUndXUT

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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBRzsJcdmC
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYyLf2cP2Y
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vomTDGyyZ
"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7BsYKAuc0

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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0yfbE8VXx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcIq3yxtSW
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUgf6WeJxq
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6RZCRGZ86

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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKNrXRCLb6
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt6ZXBMSzx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBejPgL5gC
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H5hOcMgcm

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8N3R3DkzX
"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiwiNnvKyi

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvnNxiIU5u
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMdhNTl2lT

"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9bDfa4i4o

"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvstSx5pH3F

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgvWVvFaLj
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdujnCZuws

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfoc6a8MO0
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw6IujDxce

"You aren’t protecting me if I continue to run. I need to face the problem.

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDPKepFhgl
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXpWJ3kxlP

"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.

"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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTazOhzeDb

"So whatever the case, they will need you alive," said Lucifer, looking at me. "What do you really plan to do exactly?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YjmkGLN7m
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzbTm5xHSZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gsJx0PZBF
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeHPN1QhX4

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0VRMoZHRH
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpGb1BAOCi

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnA3jiIEG3
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYrMijF62v

"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOkkrZvKJI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccd37qMWL7
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVYemkCrNk
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IMF0FAh7s
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcY3k7Iaqg
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSNN0b8rR3
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP0xRtgytJ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi6oOwcbzS
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiSn6cPvd0
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvSWxjVVZI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkiwnOrTns
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6rIBvIvNS
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?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTqJGXiGqu
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa8sWzGgQC
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtBibXJPvC
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?469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqY85MsZQr

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjujCZj8DGT
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp69j6gTPX
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2mXtovaSg
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv4mtzB637
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sn4iDKYmd
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbLLuVbBGb
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzNZMA0uvp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Va16BYhP
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo2uz84ER8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZblkrYV13u
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l2MY6ed6h
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEawReQHtn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VWEuZBJYg
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqctA92tPu
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjqk2UVWM1
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDExlxj0lgZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIgaoyxCRD
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3yIozQYXX
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W8ag2F8OG
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAP39volpQ

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCsPHgLM3i
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZtZe5B6T7
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFvghl4Ajo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWpcmniFqp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzC4SnU6Mn
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPJEPb8y68
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCZZDLYkOP
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt5eYCPNsN
"Same here," said Lucero.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtAjtlV2dN
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8MBZ5KcUA
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w99WAPSbV
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?469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmybQnb094
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzX2q0aiyn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X4iGH0MYS
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?469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4T27gv7Xu
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzv6XgUr8v

"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCPw3qITct
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem3pSVMtKr
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUt73JR6Hs
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn5Y3qhium
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKOlkQBWQy
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F9kpU0lNP
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ5HMkG3vb
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvSKowIFht
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2h6ks5eeT
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?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8j7SKvP9D
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlRDQh1i90
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmVNNKb41n
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0cVabnwHv

He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhAesLue7U
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9TcbHJR4r
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWha2kk55E6
"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?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP08QTE4hKe
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYaXXsQzLD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yjwYikQsj
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKWynxJDRp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwstSNzmzg
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc9UJDhSAX

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK9X9Y6Ch7
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9H7qFAe6l
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePnpL4rG3e
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aKCszLdFs
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaVERiXQZL
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa7F2jfGeI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgl6bBNy05
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uZiPb2elk
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDgLHVWZmx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nO9LIgq4L
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHV7Jrbmtk
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qh1e5wQD1
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwSSBwLaWB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R2b71Prmw
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwpIe4nm8X
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT2ORWQtUn
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gpUhfdR3b
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?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTLaW4zI9o
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcXf2t8BIt
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT4Xw1nyMq
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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdr5BNmWrZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZvYCT7Ro
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SiUpHRLdz
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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRQV5f1sDL
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uDlnJ6KLS
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABX6hRGeND

469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJAcrWF9b9
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc9Nb1nYrp
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjmZRCfmGb
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgI7yKjq3G
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxwjh1nalE
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3VuJiNxWJ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhWycJFv18
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZwUJAebMV
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6mAheZWod
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6tjDutG2Y

"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQdMcVTy7m
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRS7op5ma8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡungJ9C2HbG
"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."469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTo3l05pmY

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.469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKm0PWvttK
