doing to me earlier?” I asked, recalling the sparks emitting around my temple. I feared that it had something to do with my soul.
    He responded with a vicious laugh before extracting his hand away. With a sigh, he studied the palm of his hand with increasing interest. “I wanted to see what made you human and more importantly, what made you inhuman.” A blue electrical spark that was the size of a tennis ball hovered over the palm of his hand. “Have you been a good girl?”
    I stared into the ball of blue sparks and felt chills spread over me. Inside it, I was able to make out various images. There were images of me enjoying the Sanctuary kids’ misery, images of me getting a homeless man beaten up, images of me causing people to hurt themselves, and various images of me showcasing my inhuman side. When San asked me his next question, I knew then what that ball contained.
    “What are your sins?”
    I stared unblinkingly at the electrical ball that held all my secrets—all my sins as a human being. My lower lip quivered as I closed my eyes. I could not find the strength to answer him because I knew they would find out the truth. They were going to find out my true identity soon enough.
    At long last, San threw the ball of electricity into a wooden barrel in the center of the room. The electrical force slammed into the water in the barrel with unmatched strength. Then—
    Boom!
    A blast of blue light exploded from the barrel, illuminating the entire room. A ring of gray smoke rose from the blast, along with whispers that unnerved every ounce of my soul. Although the whispers spoke in an ancient language I didn’t understand, I knew what they were telling the Demons in the room. The whispers were sharing the secrets of my past—the secrets of who I was.
    As these demonic whispers faded away, the entire room gasped in sheer astonishment. San was not spared from this shock. His eyes grew wide before an exhilarated smile overcame his face.
    “The most coveted soul of the new millennium,” he announced to the stupefied room.
    The room exploded with whispers and murmurings of disbelief. From behind me, I could even hear Phix and Demon Girl gasp.
    “The six-year-old murderer?” Demon Girl whispered shockingly. “B-but I thought there was a veil over her to prevent Demons from finding her?”
    No one answered her question because it was irrelevant now. All that mattered was that I was in their possession. A voracious grin outlined each of their faces. They had hit the jackpot. My veil may have prevented Demons from finding me if they were to seek me out, but it did not prevent me from stumbling onto them by mistake.
    “Every Demon is looking for you, but cannot find you because of the veil,” San began in an excited and pleased voice, “and yet you voluntarily walk into our midst instead. This is our lucky day.” He laughed, leaning in so that his face was inches from mine. “Has your soul already been claimed, Grace Hwang?”
    Bam!
    Two huge oak doors blasted open, causing everyone in the room to jump, including myself. All eyes landed on the door to see what powerful creature dared to make such an entrance. When I saw who it was, I wanted to scream out in joy.
    Stepping in completely shirtless and wearing white pajama pants that hung low on his hips, Eclipse looked like a Fallen Angel standing in the midst of Demons. His hair was wet, indicative of him just waking up from his bathtub nap. Much like his presence with Lyna in the corn maze, the room that was once overpowered by Demons was now filled with him and his powerful presence.
    With a white towel still in his hand, Eclipse advanced into the room, stepping on the spilled puddle of holy water and salt-covered tiles. He surveyed the room, his eyes traveling over the crowd that was staring at him in bewildered silence. Then, as the anticipation in the room grew high—as if everyone was waiting on what Eclipse was going to say—he finally parted his lips and
