342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnTgBh4iGz
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4h0WcRoDP

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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1hRzlGcdZ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxyHG2Srcy

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhCoDl10nu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfv8dIAUjo
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ0EZlh7Uw
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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbe5LYsTru
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0oiq3Ypq9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVYJ1EyhE9
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDO2ahcGyt
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetzEV9PFCN
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdC9eXdJFb
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk65dam3ip
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw39D79KHF
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH7x9gQE2C

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs4NQskp7R
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssVKwgTUD6
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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaiTxXgmNT
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOprVdkW8C
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl3ZEpq2ni
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F6KerKjVX
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsZLDKNUcD
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMFUifgQjt
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Z6lkwdgj
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZDPEjyvcl
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkqHOHWPep
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4OZMWFkTK
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCXlfEzG4W
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWSFnMuxKa
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRIv86Uudf
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciIIilHoz4
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbsA72rl8i
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPoRakOEQI
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU4g2JyrQf
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDUFSU2gUm
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?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJGKHKLBKq
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8WSpI0ACD
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ54HhdFtM
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuX0YhSjSd

"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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwMGVYjwt3
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzg2KMMS1y
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FEv4EY6Gy
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UT8XVLNaP
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF1btnlhdg
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyflnPRNGJ
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8qV8b11DB
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xzEPnyCtE
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivU52kZt8p
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTxN6dbGmv
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlscN97779V
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgywI5aNeb
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Bw7YIDgX
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPuwTwtApY
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85g5lSxvvk
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzujaBPICa
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXsxRXZ9H4
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKjHsDWx3d
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UlzpTAaMB
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLis0JR6DQ9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgVUCdbZPZ
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGeUDnfBIa
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4UNvyr7qm
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJvHW89kua
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQawVEfAgw
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxcV8YLNmy
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHlly4LSwH
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmenjvvLu11
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vR44gifY
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd3eYIoI8L
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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQm4bXW8do
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKdZX7pPCa
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHLkd8cvgn
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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gbZWhUMlu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxomwXqpXp
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAGomJGAa3
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx9by4uU4l
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGobDWRLDY
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0RGiMnbF9
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU14Cn3drD
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K9Qhvsdop
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0P9hTup6S
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ83HxCsn0S
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo3Af88BCH
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAeFpPJDWz
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygJwSSFLqg
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhuAJ8oeTR
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMlpNmyElH
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14jcotgGCJ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4kes2JiaY
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Wq1McJP3
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jWO3Zhnpk
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WDxS9XRFu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTcDuyBxa
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CMekSIQhu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZTkITQsiC
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr548MYGhV
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GADTAp9pb
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAYIQs7gua
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi1tGesTsu
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3WrgHB5k
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeHokJsXr0
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h89nlecFM
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMIHh4FPq3
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUd1YGQAYl
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBetuSwGPl
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyxu2tz6Pj
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lnCHtzUTw
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTGoBF3cja
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?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzyqkh6XCy
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9IAWvF1ee
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeuvuufQB5
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00DWgaRgZn
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjOrhT02UB
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTUQn2EJSf
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zCu8vocnk
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHNx1WWZ2M
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqsA5bQsGU
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtlo9l8Vt4
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOw2r0MNcu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF0Xp2H7Pb
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3hFr20lxu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF7ScGWGkF
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik0slbI7x3
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfEs7V88vp
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA3ePd2AF5
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe89B0VTkKM
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5OutBrM1u
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJKf72Oelw
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWhNnBKrZn
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcqu3frw5S
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6P1GoKasw
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru9kPaWGqu
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0YHflyh5p
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0r8S9Tcw
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6mYKKCepK
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLvddPHTId
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe6qRFdSlj
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdgVAYTG8x
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfsFShRHIW
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtz6aBPqOm
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSvf0gkm0x
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZzlujcigd
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4n2TOaEDI
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUYUSAn6dZ
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLZ1foW0VJ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAy2fIqnGx
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYExrzK6SZF
"Guys, you better move out of the way," I warned.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc6dQWlTRo
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJONyyxyLmn
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idaeqXbc7
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrhH8yFZpW
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTk2uMXrQ4
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrteISuBBG
"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Tvznedvc
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOWa3y0c8O
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcntjoUSi8j
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cSHnJBaVH
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLRxqTV0wd
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfpDleKI4l
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTBpNVlKkQ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNzIdnx9ju
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxJVqYy77r
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWm3t0PwLy
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKB7SYh1mT
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtpWCQTOxL
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuByUbKiaQ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlrkRTS8qq
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKLLaQoreK
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPu2Hhsb4u
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwGikQ9jiu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2huRx4HtB
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFjZEFSN66
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O8iQgAHWv
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgQfSs8mNd
"You, of course."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAQ8uZWF9C
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5gMJNoNgr
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7CFdz8UO6
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRdblqI2Uh
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB7laaG9Lj
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡretIfEpkKd
"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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngUMWM3ERQ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3WUwXpuwK
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGShB7bFA7p
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpeQq9fqup
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7y6OdbbGE
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Xynvmq9C
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z2Ann4QaL

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqZSmXzUav
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67VFGlOEMi
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURECwXxUZp
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3VjhQRiiC
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCo0Vk6NAH
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4O7MssUpx
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa3LanIYMd
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAztnoqNkm
"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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FLiG4x8WM
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTOmCzawOd
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsryndCeJlF
"He's more of the black sheep of the family," I said, my eyes still not leaving Lucero.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjlZspVj91
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeJwP50wGe
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEwpF5MoTg
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsh9Y7opIp

"I like the way you put it, Diana," said Lucero. "I would like to stay and chat, but you and I have a date."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LzqBOSHND
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQlAMxGZD6
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc0lj8q8wn
"I'm not going anywhere with you, Lucero," I said. I felt ready to light up my other hand.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWiII42WxS

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakKOWS04KC
Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcj5FPvQGO

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dHvF5gHjE
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vV7O4s3pq
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ovYJGUyS

"Love triangle," Lucero answered as he turned to look at Stella. "Well, you look stunning. Sorry for pushing you aside earlier, beautiful."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNX6g6GmbM
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6RpsgvuM9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1DR0FD2En
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfwgaf0YKf

"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtzGUbTbcz

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsgGxvcyx6
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWlCG05MLF
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPbOmpvcW9

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1loH9U9e0
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6IWuQY3an

"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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69IakiErlX

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn77tGefgIS
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbRxiracBO
"You aren’t protecting me if I continue to run. I need to face the problem. If you must know, I've got a shadow monster after me, and I don’t think wherever you take me is going to protect me from it. That’s if there is always daylight. Not to mention the Golden Elite will be knocking at the door at any moment."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ6nDLgXBN

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqfJLjJeHP
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlpFdKiUos
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyINh7jnQOC

"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. But like Diana pointed out just now, we've got bigger things to worry about."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC1kX5hXXu

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuphyWcRE5
"If I’m soft, then you should've just dragged her out of here in one fell swoop," said Lucifer. "But just like any mortal man, you’re quickly led by what’s in your pants."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2QgHvbMmD

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyyOeltjm6

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lb3MieDsP

"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9GIuxyRRk

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

"Now that we’ve reached an agreement," I quickly cut in before Lucifer would say something vulgar, "why don’t we all go to the study and work out a plan? The last thing I need is for me to create a war with the Golden Elite on this beach."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKYjpirfcl

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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGvPeBjxzt

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVeUioKLgf
"Well, true," he said as I noticed him raise an eyebrow. "But you had gone quiet for a while; a lot of people thought you were dead or had moved on to the other world. Your aura is different, too. It’s not like it was before. Did you do something to yourself?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtt79Sf0fI

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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXze8knREL

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOLkfmreuo
"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?" Lucero turned to look at his father, who had walked up to his desk.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2tDzefNHt

Mutale looks at me for a minute before saying, "We were told to capture you today, no matter the cost. This mission is far different from the rest that we’ve ever had with the supernatural.

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno2YRX0Cfu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSEeOTdaKv
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD0XaBQGO6
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPZCknpJYb
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSt7zNgMJ
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ838bUx23VD
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJVyJxJa7s
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM1fdEfDo8
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTtqFDHe4n
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCvKrSKbjr
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSX8HCqQHU
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSCbejvjpB
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbJmI1qbpv
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARmUAkIQ8d
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2rlB9J9lz
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UUBfagNvE
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwU6RzPwKB
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe31liSR0r2
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgkjySmu6u
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIRMqasZtO
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zyXc2elzT
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5I0IyIWc8
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOh3R1Q4aB
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?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBpjZU1lyv
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixBdZ7IxQB
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr043p4quy
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?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLZszN12Z9
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqlpge6oYl
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi45jWmByY
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9VMuyy3Tc
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfoGZJjMHe
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18L0OE5mnV
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyognk9R4u8
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY28qwpgLY
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oIdXsUzOm
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9LTMLiE91
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYGEKknUld
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqEypUiaqe
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulyR2OlIuh
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iAIKvBWXd
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz8VTAM4ub
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWoKapXGe4
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdAb3eyNNS
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDtzPNWzdt
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJm1TEROkp
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cbdxpdMNS
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSORom8ODE
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUiyBCr863
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy7sXbKc8P
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbxtj5t0DA
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0KCbU30yF
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JJauGbg9i
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRippD5LXTO
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmWwg8rvuR
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyRQMqM9xN
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiRNZf5bW8
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7svYDVePn
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbhUhW2Qfy
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBVLxQ8OfF
"Same here," said Lucero.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlADOlyYeHI
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93jp9EM8gk
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrjyfpS2Jz
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?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CCqYc1RO
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4bQUknTzJ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvilfRE3e2X
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?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tClkMkGEg
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoBNYkWstg
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka4sDVaQKN
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjTCxf4BRn
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvYzkIMwuE
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKy50ubjSo
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mBbeIKNji
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVtZBbBA92
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PWm3lqobE
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05gxIhjLIw
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2LqS2snK2
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsRAPAtaIt
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?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmSrVJyyBu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNwwhGRI9i
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiEvJ7GMwG
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLt9aENXez
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3kHaZLYRj
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHci5ViYgMw
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AhPPpMiKo
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoDGQpwL0V
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhVIry9uq6
"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?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymvqMmosSu
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYqNxB2Xlo
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmtD8jIEgy
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nzqlapcjB
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzbywbQ77Z
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoNHZGBd13
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZtA1sVe8G
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALH4BEmb5w
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG6Z7LOkYT
"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAFcQHqLwy
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXuQplAPr0
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Nv4ItLfS
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop1EZt3wBi
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmPfEe0TBI
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrhm9F6MRm
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTlAePjzUC
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU9Jxd0Htn
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAQB3iFBPB
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DSSNrM9tQ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8uTsKZkro
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxEq82Knw8
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Rluw444V
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNuCDWCfWC
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnveULj1Xem
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlCrMabnPT
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp1ZiaOWDE
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBg4POEOm0
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?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP0QpDdD3I
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLjl1BJnF5
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gzPX67oMo
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWsdVZTFdZ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR2E4veBzb
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8kykqdb3t
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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabKjPJFSdj
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjNNLVyhoD
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OxAPf9Zp5
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjRfdfqW3i
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK5lyfh1Lq
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa1nSyHIkO
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtJcDtP1n8
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKavigElEZp
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRzRcOBXCm
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxzNjOcYTe
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWocpXpQO4G
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c112IACng
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8yrVrhr5C
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0OJCp8BPj
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH7ZUJOhh0
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywDTcqj1DZ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgWlxt6NNo
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCFiDXCQZT
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuYafTrD6c
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqpkGcn3ey
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbujWGff6q6
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOMrSsYu7O
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBwDJQ4hDi
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVSXLZKP5q
"Hey, I'm just saying. Some things are inevitable."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZDm1OAsgb
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc98TAKG0D
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFbpsKe0PF
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9OSsDaekY
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIAWbqJZOg
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyx4dqc6U4
A war is likely to happen.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUirrbhxnmC
