372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8menJ6NJC
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JW2UysoVT

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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbav4LWMgW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrMXW0KGHU

"Hey," he said as he turned to look at me. "Are you okay?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYhgcRh1fJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NIxoEVk7v
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK1dX4g21U
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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu9ZUZruIh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSiJRNoWCw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlwo0wGdoW
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40nVaXMUiz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsssdWMrte
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnyXiyJgLO
"Yeah." I folded my arms. "Death did say he would do anything to get to me. The shadow monster is quite a surprise."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7Pzb8b2Du
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0K5vnuqvk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDNPdlyIaP
"Aren't you scared?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTQlOslf8g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3HGhs7iSb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV0sMTgWkJ
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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSPMCxlHkH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E2R9XFl4J
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47VbQoNq3j
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO63rU59Cx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dYB8gMTq5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceBKp5NcP4
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked me.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDxeuhkNqQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ReC5utdi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgo9qjSrE6
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK2NYGiCRr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa04DanVeZ7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYkJXmuXlS
"I thought you would think of travelling around the world where the sun still shines." Lucius gave a chuckle.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbR0YRkCrv
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIovvoqxMy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcfz2RsO7l
"Sounds like a plan, but you know it's pointless. I have to stop it from chasing me somehow."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3km0XaBRxw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQywTL5lv6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeMPB7FjmU
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?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpopkGmSEGY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYmlrDRIQM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1NypTMzdH
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3DMLwLHYV

"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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpwKo1ITLF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnxcJAJ0dr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2mzz8zeS
"Really?" I asked as I turned to look at her. "Why there?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMO8myGWwK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXQKwcON8q
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnFbKsb2E9
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNawDjDjWa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gNuCPYTwx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTCxOfq5Fj
"I was just about to suggest that she come live with me," said Lucius as he nervously chuckled.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxervb4snjG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUFuCf4adn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYqzvH1Jgh
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPToryEFZVp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn4S1ltj9O
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV98sTr5Rc
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPD2VcpNdM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeiFvhLt8g
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLSKHt1HKM
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJhOIJPqsP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3oMZJJppr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvyNfwfUiM
"True," said Stella. "You can come with me, then. Lucius is invited to come and see you whenever he feels like it."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtyFwK4WtO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IYkiI7FfG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT9xbZlZvJ
"Really?" Lucius now looked at Stella, and I couldn't help but notice the stars in his eyes.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXdaS9TcG3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRyolKkEOV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa7dvFFMfx
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBH6zZy0vD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X0kI0JS2x
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDtsTdMXaQ
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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Xx8IVcQE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlfWhEz9nO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTwh1Kl6Ir
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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL9aAYDgxF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXja7ZPkXOq
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqzbqFDBIF
"Okay, but you had better keep your promise to me. You and I have a lot of catching up to do."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6egXawqcT5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj5PF33shh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQU9kq2ukd
"What actually happened back there?" Lucius asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXN4IoQQ6x
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuoFLPWfPN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxungqp7Ta
Stella and I turned to look at him. "It's a long story," we answered.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkGhdn4a3O
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbHOXroT8j
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5iKQGDuiu
"Don't worry, one of these days I will tell you," I said, giving him a smile.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi5RZmLrDm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i9WsXv76e
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWuVYV8sj
"So, what are you going to do now?" Lucius asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IiptaYom5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rji795pH1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0pJEE8WSK
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20wP1nvGtU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWJVsvEVfj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mbSE7sFS4
"Gosh, I forgot about those guys," said Stella, shaking her head. "And we have their soldier."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmwZ9t0eg7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHj9IMb2a3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ650yC6dwrO
"They will catch up, that's for sure. They probably know of his location right about now."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzOG65cqm7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg6tIUhaaN
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9R4PUuwf
"How are you sure?" Lucius asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQxbq6HNHo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo1N6QhNx6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7EE7eEvAT
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v2oO9YW1f
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNdF4mX85j
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1xsonpvXR
"And what could that be?" Stella asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLz4OducAY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDP9jD2q8o
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFut4D8yeeF
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?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDVJTSX9LX
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWxdIKmCGF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLJ1hAT8yx
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUILLalheF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI6fMC3cFQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAmxA75w1b
"I never thought of it," said Stella. "That's an excellent question. Why come attack you at the same time?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5BdBhHqlz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aWkeXotl9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6hq1kThvQ
"Why don't we just ask that Golden Elite soldier?" Lucius suggested. "He must have the answer."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS4T3YkXjM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuve8kjWnyx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwcM3Ago1c
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlROoqZO7l
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkcXrtEt2B
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLvrdQazME
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWxQVwdmOU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFsAR8ZtFO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHSYTwyAqM
"That's because those in control tell them so, and they believe it. I won't lie, but it's annoying to me too."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zSYjFDHwa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0oC3KBgnj
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy65CupZZve
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtoAmCU2Hx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI26vyyAzJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUbOlNIZqY
"True," I said. "That's why I was thinking that maybe your father might know."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DghNJ7jTa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRawpks7YR6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyyze7U3vI
"My father?" Lucius now looked perplexed. "What would he know about all this?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeg0fwXXWD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxPJ03pinu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX8A9GHtuk
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RiSYyU2BR
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk1SFNhTas
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwiElr05ib
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrknjzWunaU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWh48S59AQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQNRuBe7Qp
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDws72STEeV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj3SfiEDNw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj2lhLutLt
"Guys, you better move out of the way," I warned.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWbAfFbusa

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a46r14nzo
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNuSmHopIm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDZYZYIZjb

"Hey, Diana," whispered a voice in my ear. "Did you miss me?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuuasL2ix6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjO2qqUdNl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWcz7dyCdN
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFD4FgmrTC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtFtzBIw5I
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3wrtt3IRB
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymRAjTFgCa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr4Hc4G5yA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1i58siK1V
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKksWrsE6b
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbodnijfI5Q
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FBFuy2zwD
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkbTOXe47l
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6MQoY3J1S
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAmcnkX6da
"What do you want?" I asked, almost out of breath. I gasped for air as much as I could.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjFkSfH08r
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa2Dz2nHEI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXMV6iaqMJ
He straddled my waist as a slick smile appeared on his handsome face. He bent his face towards me as he answered:372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZQ6DfkM2k
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K9hP9ugIf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmWBDXV1OB
"You, of course."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbvHWu0y3x
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaEPRKmugy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB1a0aGErm
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgXfTkbkow
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD9vSKkSAw
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1coht02VD
"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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW79GdPbRf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcengyxsnzf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqip5oHZWv
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS1gVPFDnP
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFpMQiHQck
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8NjMuZsEi
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWOIrbIYOY

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBrZowJiPz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWC2xX66xY
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl63fcXSl1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP6bdTSMoZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVBa77Kn8l
Lucero, with a smirk, turned to Lucius. "Nice to see you again, little brother," he said.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6ILs6uLti
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrLtbuONTm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWrYg3ioFq
"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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeQuQYQDGY
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkWkDlVJcL
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHiJloxF3d
"He's more of the black sheep of the family," I said, my eyes still not leaving Lucero.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RY7f3NLCK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsVmWH1PDH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEL9UjIDTk
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxilymfCto

"I like the way you put it, Diana," said Lucero. "I would like to stay and chat, but you and I have a date."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMva8FcIrPD
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ67emOBm2
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2P9z8jHr0
"I'm not going anywhere with you, Lucero," I said. I felt ready to light up my other hand.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzK5Drs9wW

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrp08zIAqy
Lucius came to stand right in front of me. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't have to defend me against Lucero.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZHLvHZ8ch
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl05xQbqFH1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87hpUgY1Fo

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWKkdmzkW6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5Rfc9zK9U
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx9bmbT5Bp
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jSkYmtvBa

"Love triangle," Lucero answered as he turned to look at Stella. "Well, you look stunning. Sorry for pushing you aside earlier, beautiful."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3yCnoPYDh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprAD0G4gA9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomAvT6HGCh
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoELYNnyzkW

Stella shook her head a little, as though she were waking up from a dream. "Wow, I nearly fell for him there," she said. "Thanks, Diana."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R0Itfl4wd

"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66DwHRNC3Q

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAVIfo4mr2

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiBW44fWJQ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bjNWOh3e8
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCNWAwvhN8

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mahzIJpPM
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhU2uQZLGi

"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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyuNt1AsV9

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYGlwAWw6H
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5e58UiTxD
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwTtOrbi4T

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZAzofja3v
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a3x9HQKvc
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlmOsmxF7Q

"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F1vtaPDQ5

"Let’s forget about this, Lucero," I said. "No matter what, I’m not coming with you. And if you really want to protect me, then we better be thinking of dealing with the Golden Elite and whoever sent that shadow monster after me."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASwgwAFGrr

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MXPmGgIOa
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCFZdbva3j
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ987r6oBT

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZskQtdKJW

"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ULHvilZC

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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLwRSxCxyv

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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVjm2MEP47

"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?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7uezabPDc

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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmQHV0dDHO

372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaznYEXNzt
"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?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirXGc6prsZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcrv0M645V
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsFzggZT4c
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyXJzidb0A
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv9vAHAoeK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJzyyitBEF
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurD7i8BWEu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYUoX4LsLI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjnFm2Qb2t
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsS2JWhrDo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aBX0PVifE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKnT5eWWME
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IacjGJyTJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwFPgfhXds
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi6K5ef2oP
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ644ljcbwQG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbuPoZ5Tt1
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuBWrp4aCW
"I’ll let those two explain," said Lucifer. "Besides, they are the ones who came after you in the first place."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6VNL9RJBe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYHBhR3Jxy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXVTzcmGPQ
"I don’t understand why she has to ask me, dad," said Lucius. "I also don’t know what’s going on."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmZE66voP0
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEcj5qPsqg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nw2GPIp4w
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?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxAPUgRZon
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLZudrEeni
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRx5ASV25V
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?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQzUUUFBpW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCxbBqyNwr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIfaCxUpg7
"Aren’t you going to say anything?" I asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBvrEMMixA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w3UfBLLYz
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCdhzh0OZI
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIRgww1DYS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODpq2CKfQ3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHDJD8qU4J
"Someone tipped you off?" I now stand up from my seat. "Who could that be?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGIthopw3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jcdr2oDW3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzKCOB6P3u
"I was also tipped off," said Lucero, "and was given the location of this place. Could it be the same person?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxNYrut7AW
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3JOWi2hzM
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F35nNNtbQ
"Strange, who could be doing this?" Stella asked. "And how? And why inform you two about the locations she’s been?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeT0FfZJdk
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvENlbnFDS
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxCWMWSLkh
"That’s not the only question," I said. "Who else could the person be informing about my whereabouts at this very moment?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi097TjeZt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3HGPjPhgc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgF625geOB
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5v1K07WvA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc7NSK94xr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rz3nNRERX
Lucero chuckled. "I am my father’s son."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU5ieNkut7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo0CmsQuuG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxH2Vf8Vgj
"Okay, that’s fine and all, but who is this person anyway?" I asked. "How did they communicate with you?" I looked at Lucius.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklMnXaitHe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXOptglNPZ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wSjlkXQOY
"My phone," he answered. "I tried calling the person back, but I couldn’t even get through."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRyL5i6FRi
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBkEnrGcKd
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhWr5iHkKJ
"Same here," said Lucero.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaehp7Genh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AOqYnUVwI
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuJmrAO2xD
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?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qCjchetof
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ezdFv6su3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjTy3fPCoQ
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?372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FbLFxFEvy
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaDagR39ro
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6zh0MqVhv
"Today keeps getting worse by the second," I said. I turn to look at Lucifer.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKcQoGthS6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SbZuKNlmO
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdrrT5dtus
"Well, it seems pretty clear why your sons are here," I said. "Now answer my question. Why is all this happening on this day?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tfJykB2rJ
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeaWBqqSnf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYzo2Q35ir
"And why do you think I know the answer to that?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJha0Bw5b
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRXUTjQutG
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKNoQJ4WZH
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?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ95Gaz9BKe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjSCflVZYF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BCyicRz9P
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl41qaFfzbr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xv1HY7QSV
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd845HOUGWn
He finally smiled. "You seem to be getting smarter every time," he said. "If I were your parents, I would be really proud."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQtwdNXdcg
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GiRICX25H
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bk84QLYpq
"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?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1PT3l4KNx
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgXO7B4yWm
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9Bbts57B9
"Nothing," he smiled. "You are the most wanted supernatural, aren’t you?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TiPPYFoje
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGksEYInGkE
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDhF6CsStU
"I already know that. But you aren’t telling me what I need to know."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSX75a7dXt

"You’re special, Diana. Until you accept it, you’ll realize that you’re capable of many things."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLGX9mtpwf
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipLfQu8aPH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDNS7A23At
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT2rFRCzdU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YXecZ38F
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR2lUiEdyw
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN5zBhCSEA
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr68jDOofqT
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8wgWoMp3D
"Not to mention that we have to be wary about whoever might be coming from anywhere," said Lucius.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWjt4rDhVH
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MnkzB6pH6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD57uxMNPx
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcwNFsFMzt
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG68RJD92Yu
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfKUKs8wV3
"This isn’t over. You do know that, right?" I asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX2iDSq7q6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0ey3wg3vn
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgarGxeVD7c
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?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pcsONA6f5
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwzqbQTAjo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zjNkPemW2
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalklAOcGfb
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAgto4UsQF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4VLFtuHli
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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAHxrc7c6w
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFZFJ2Cd59
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ489NBvdmwZ
"And if I refuse?" Mutale asks.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXIdlCE8qe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf4gckgTY9
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45hs5UtbJb
"I don’t like hurting people, but I will let Lucifer do whatever he wants with you back in hell," I noted.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngoCIaO2yo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwAlZ6ajnr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDEY7Yrrs9
Lucero looked at Mutale and chuckled. "This is going to be fun," he said.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X31lPab9V
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbufsZ3hW5s
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SKJ50DIzg
"Alright, I hope you've got everything figured out, Diana," said Lucius.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGydczLyOeK
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXaXZy90Ch
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD6AdCPGY5
"Not everything," I said. "I have a feeling that a fight will be inevitable."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavL4TpBNVo
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6UMYePMNC
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZluSNSLk2M
"I would consider a war breaking out," said Lucifer. We all look at him. "What? You have to consider the possibility, right?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuW7rGn0c6
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0raWUGFb3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw5XR2DauO
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchW9S2vsAc
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gxAaqMaEl
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jxcFWstPu
"Hey, I'm just saying. Some things are inevitable."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lnLxP7ihe
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pD4hOXfv3
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoq02RJOU2
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGeuOoFPZF
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nu76wcQqh
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mbw6nBBh3
