College Bound: Unforeseen Encounters and Mysterious Figures

In just a few days, John started a successful hotel business in London. Over the course of three years, their lives remained normal and prosperous. However, one fateful day, while Evangeline was playing with a doll, something strange occurred. As she touched the doll, it inexplicably burst into ashes. Startled by this event, Anna quickly grabbed Ava and rushed into the room, desperately dialing John's number. However, the line remained busy no matter how many times she tried. In her growing panic, Anna decided to call Joseph instead, the vampire who had helped them settle into the human world.

"Where's John?" Anna anxiously asked Joseph without any formal greetings. She was in a state of distress.

Joseph, sensing her panic, responded, "What happened, Anna? Why are you so upset? Tell me."

"Joseph, I need you to ask John to come home urgently. It's about Ava," Anna explained.

"Alright, I'll bring him," Joseph agreed before ending the call.

An hour later, both John and Joseph arrived at home and hurried straight to the room. Concerned, John asked, "What happened, Anna? Is Ava alright?"

"She's physically unharmed, but something unusual is happening. She's burning like lava. I can't even touch her, so I had to put her in a tub of water. But even the water is scorching hot," Anna revealed with worry.

Joseph interjected, "She... she possesses the powers of a devil. She is blessed with the abilities of Lucifer, the king of hell."

Shocked, John exclaimed, "What do you mean, Joseph?" His voice was filled with concern and fear.

"She has inherited the powers of Lucifer, making her incredibly strong. At only three years old, she already possesses these powers, and it seems she will continue to develop more with time," Joseph explained. "However, we must be cautious. Others who crave such powers will come after her. We need to conceal her abilities as if they never existed. Sensing her powers, Lucifer himself will be drawn to her, as he is insatiably greedy for power. Although he could help her harness her abilities, we cannot risk her life."

John, desperate for reassurance, bombarded Joseph with questions. "Will she be alright? Does it hurt her to possess such immense powers at such a young age? Will she be able to control them?"

"John, she will be fine. Those who seek to exploit her powers will soon regret their choices. She is truly powerful. But for now, we must hide her abilities. To accomplish that, I suggest you go and find a necklace and bracelet suitable for your daughter. I will assist you," Joseph recommended.

Anna handed Joseph a necklace and bracelet, which he cupped in his hands. A golden light emanated from his palms, revealing a black ruby embedded within the jewelry. Joseph carefully placed the necklace and bracelet on little Ava, who giggled in delight upon seeing them.

"These will help her conceal her powers. However, we will need to find someone to teach her how to control them," Joseph stated.

Curious, John inquired, "Who will be her teacher?"

"I will consult with the Moon Land King. Given her extraordinary abilities, we must appoint someone special," Joseph replied.

As Joseph kneeled down to Ava's level, she tugged at his pant leg. He turned his gaze towards her and asked, "What is it, little girl?"

Nodding, Ava asked, "Uncle Jeph, why did you give me this necklace and bracelet?"

With a warm smile, Joseph answered, "It's a special gift from me to you, my little girl. Do you like it?"

"Yes, I like it " Ava replied

"Ava, if you like it, then I'll tell you a secret, but you have to keep it to yourself," Joseph asked.

"Okay, I will not tell your secret to anyone," Ava replied.

"Ava, it's a special gift from your Uncle Jeph to you, and it means a lot to me. Will you keep it safe for me?" Joseph said.

"Yes, Uncle Jeph, I will keep it safe. But what makes it so special?" Ava asked.

"It's a big secret. I'll tell you when you turn 18 years old, okay?" Joseph said.

"Okay, I will keep it safe. I'll put it in Mommy's safe," Ava said.

"NOOOOO!" everyone screamed.

Ava got scared and started crying, but Anna held her in her arms and said, "Oh, my baby, stop crying. Uncle Jeph has given you this gift, and it belongs to his son who doesn't know where he is. So, he wants you to keep it safe because there are many thieves who know how to open a safe without a key. That's why he wants you to keep it with you."

"Okay, I will keep it with me," Ava agreed.

After that, Joseph went to the moon, and the king arranged for a five-year-old child named Mark to teach Ava how to control her powers. Mark became a good friend of Ava's and they joined the same school.

Anna and John treated Mark as their own son and loved him as such. Fifteen years passed by.

After fifteen years

Ava was about to start her first year of college, and she kept asking Mark how she would look and how everyone would react to her. She worried about how she would handle her powers and what would happen if someone discovered her abilities.

Mark grew tired of her questions and put his hand over Ava's mouth, saying, "Keep quiet, or I'll leave you here, and you'll have to walk to college, making you late. Understand?"

Ava nodded, sat down at the table, ate breakfast, picked up her bag, and went to college with Mark in his car. As they drove, she stared at everything passing by and suddenly screamed, "Stop!"

Mark immediately stopped the car and asked, "What the heck, Ava? What happened?"

Ava, making a cute puppy face, replied, "I want my pastry."

"Oh my god, Ava, you're an idiot for shouting like that. Wait here then," he said. Mark bought the pastry and gave it to Ava, then headed for college.

When they arrived, Mark asked his friend Brittany to help Ava with the paperwork and everything else she needed. Brittany assisted her and then left the office.

A rush of people suddenly filled the hall, prompting Ava to ask Brittany, "What's happening? Why is everyone running?"

"What time is it?" Brittany asked.

"It's 8 o'clock. Why?" Ava responded.

"It's the Jackson family's seven brothers. Whenever they arrive, it's always crowded. Don't worry about it; just go to your class, or your brother will scold me for not taking you on time," Brittany explained.

As Ava was about to enter the class, a girl accidentally hit her foot, causing Ava to scream in pain. Irritated, Ava slapped the girl with full force, causing her to fall to the ground. Ava then secretly used her powers to hypnotize the girl, and she walked away.

Brittany was shocked to see the girl leaving quietly and gasped in surprise.

"Why is she a princess?" Ava asked.

"Yes, they own the school," Brittany replied.

"Well, I hate rich people, so I don't care about them. Forget those rich dogs. "Ava replied

"Ava, in case you've forgotten, you're also wealthy," Brittany remarked.

"Yes, I am rich, but I despise those who flaunt their money to obtain whatever they desire. And remember, please do not disclose my secret to anyone," Ava replied, and Brittany nodded in agreement.

As classmates, they sat together, but after a while, Ava sensed something amiss. As she gazed upward, she found an incredibly attractive young man standing before her, and their eyes locked. Suddenly, Ava lost consciousness. However, before collapsing, the mysterious man swiftly caught her.
