Krishna was about to follow her when the assembly bell rang, and disciples started rushing out.
Some old disciples came to take Agatha out of her room, and his eyes widened when he saw them.
He wanted to go ask what's going on, but he stopped himself.
CERES'S ROOM
Ceres got back just a while ago, healed with Sheila's blood.
She's smirking as she came out of the bathroom, still wet with the bathwater.
She stood in the middle of the room and smiled eventually.
Maybe it's a good thing that Zara is coming soon.
"I'll have to go close to her by all means. She has to turn me. If i become a vampire, tackling Sheila should be easy" she muttered bitterly.
ORION'S ROOM
Samara smiled when she woke up to find herself in the arms of someone.
They're obviously cuddling, and it feels so good and different.
"Ruthie? Is it Peony? What's the time?" She muttered, her eyes still closed.
"Uh? The time... Ruthie" she pressed the body of the person, and she squinted.
This is not a female body!
Her eyes widened, and she spranged up only to see Orion! And they're in his room too!
"How did this happen! How did... Onion!!!" She screamed, and he opened his eyes slowly.
"You're being noisy" he muttered.
"What did you do to me at night and why am I even in your room! Explain!!" She shouted.
"Damn, I hate noises" he muttered, sitting up.
"What did you do!" She shouted.
"You kept cuddling with me throughout the night and you didn't wanna let me go, you don't remember?" He replied.
"What!" She hugged herself securely.
"And don't tell me you're thinking weird things, there's no way I'd try that with you. Your boobs can't even fill my mouth, I'm talking about the two at once" he replied.
"What!" She grabbed her boobs.
"Yeah, so get rid of every thought like that. I love big things and you're not part of it" he replied freely and stood.
"I'll kill you" Samara muttered, and before he could move, she jumped on him and they went back to the bed together with her on top.
She grabbed the pillow and started hitting it on her face .
"Pervert!!! How did you know the size of my boobs! Bastard!!!" She dropped the pillow and began pulling his hair so hard.
"Stop!! Sam! Argghhhhh!!! Sam!!!!!!" He screamed, and she pinched him on the neck to shut him up.
"Fuck it! Stop!!" He shouted, but she grabbed the pillow to hit on him again, and that was when he got her.
He snatched the pillow from her, and it landed on the ground as he tossed them, so he came on top of her.
They're both breathing heavily, and he pinned her hands down just like he did during the cleansing kiss. He began staring down at her.
"Let go of me" she breathed, trying to break free.
"You should know better than to struggle with me anytime I hold you down like this. You will never be able to break free" he said.
"And why is that?" She asked.
"Aren't I your soulmate now? I cleansed Aragon's kiss with mine so I can communicate with your mind. Right now I'm telling it to prevent your powers from working on me, and it's listening well" he smiled trickily.
"Let go of me psycho!" She spat with a mean glare, and he started bringing down his lips to hers.
"No! Don't do it again! I said don't!" She shouted, but that only made him lean closer and closer.
"Don't do it!" She shouted again, and when it seemed useless, she folded her lips into her mouth, and he smiled, finally leaning in to peck her on the nose.
"Pretty girl" he winked, and she blinked as he let go of her, getting down from the bed afterwards.
"Bastard" she rolled eyes, coming down from the bed.
"It hits different hearing that from you" he said, and she began arranging her scattered hair.
"Wait...when a girl gets kissed on any part of her body like I did to you, she should get red like a tomato, but I see no redness" he said.
"Why would I blush when I don't like you romantically? You're my Superior and nothing more" she replied, and he smiled.
"Are you sure?"
"Whatever!" She shot, and her eyes widened when she remembered the assembly.
"OMG the assembly! I'm so late already!" She gasped, rushing out
Immediately she got to the door, she released all the air she has been holding inside through her nostrils, and she touched her cheeks. They're heating up real bad, she could feel it.
"No. I'm not blushing, I didn't' she denied and rushed off.
Orion came out of the room, resting on the doorframe to watch her as she ran .
"She blushed" he muttered.
He noticed the redness of her cheeks earlier, and that's why he knowingly said she didn't blush, just to fool her, and she fell for it.
*It's natural, she's your soulmate* the voice in his head said.
"You might not be totally useless" Orion replied.
*So... friends?* The voice said.
"In your dreams" Orion replied, going back inside.
*You can never change* the voice said with a slight giggle.
Orion took the bottle containing the blood of a deer when he got back in, and he drank the whole content at once, throwing down the keg.
He's not a full vampire, so his vampire form is ok with animal blood, though once in a while he craves for human blood, and that's when he goes into the city to look for scapegoats to drain.
His fangs showed off in his teeth, and he wiped the blood on his lips before looking at the keg on the ground.
"Need to go hunting for a deer soon" he muttered, and arms suddenly wrapped on him from behind.
He immediately recognized it, and his bones hardened.
"On the count of 1 to 3..." He muttered, but the person kept hugging him.
"1...2...3..." And that was it.
His sword landed on his palm, and he pushed the person away from his body before facing her.
Chief Feathers!
He didn't blink before stabbing her in the stomach, and she bled from the mouth as she went on her knees.
"I warned you" he muttered and made to stab her again, but Chief Water sped in and took her.
In the next minute, they vanished together.
Orion looked at the blood on the body of his sword, and he scoffed.
"You're crossing the line very well, Feathers"
ASSEMBLY
Agatha is in front of Master Duran and the numerous disciples when Samara arrived, and she breathlessly joined them.
"Where have you been? Sam" Ruthie asked.
"I'll gist you guys later" she replied.
"Can't wait!" Peony gushed
"Agatha Depp, explain what happened to Kaitlyn in the woods clearly" Master Duran's voice spoke, and silence descended in the assembly as Agatha looked up.
"I...we .... We were on our way to Sullivan, my kingdom, and then she picked a fallen orange, then the beast turned her to dust" she explained.
"That's the beast of deception, I hear the scary beast deceives you with what you want most, and the moment you touch it, you're gone" Merlin said.
"What were you both going to Sullivan to do?' Master Duran asked again, and Agatha swallowed.
"I...." She said fearfully.
She'd surely be killed if she says she was going to meet a shaman.
"I..." She said again.
Krishna moved uncomfortably on his spot, knowing that any single mistake in her speech might get her killed, especially now that Master Duran is not with his chiefs, no one will stop him.
"I...." Agatha said for the third time.
"I sent her there to ask her father, king Depp for a favor" Aragon's voice said as he entered the assembly, and all eyes turned to him.
Samara's eyes widened madly immediately.
He swallowed the orb of pains last night, and the sun is out now so he'd have vomited it for sure, but what about his broken back? How come it's back to normal? Is there another healer except herself and Orion?
Ok Sheila's blood heals too but she'd never give it to him after what he did, so who?
"You sent her to Sullivan?" Master Duran said unbelievably, and Aragon went on his knees.
Orion entered the assembly that moment, and he smirked when he saw what's going on.
"Him and the beast of deception, I dunno who's worse, and it's crazier that my father trusts him more than me. He's a fucking good liar" he muttered.
"You don't expect father to trust you too after all the people you killed" Sheila's voice replied beside her.
"You're not different from me so shut the fuck" he said, and her nails grew long.
She was about to attack him when he chuckled.
"You're gonna play with me in this assembly?"
"What? Is the playground too big?" She smiled, and her hand went down.
"Where were you? Fucking a cock?" He asked.
"There's no satisfying cock in this city, I plan to return to Chicago as soon as possible" she replied, and he chuckled again, then they both turned back to the ongoing scene.
"I sent her to Sullivan to talk to her father about myself. I've been having scary dreams about the cursed snake since some days back, and I heard Sullivan has the most reliable cure for it, I'm so sorry Master, I should have talked to you first" Aragon continued.
"Lair! Ding dong! You're doing great Aragon!" Orion shouted.
"Louder!" Sheila replied beside him, and Master Duran stood.
"We lost a student cos of your thoughtlessness" he said.
"I'll take every punishment" Aragon replied.
