Growwwlllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He growled again, maneuvering through the forest grounds.
He was about to enter the streets when a force came as fast as flash, hitting him badly.
Shockingly, the wolf fell on the ground heavily, and the face can to view, Sheila's!
"You should stop slaughtering the innocent now, little brother. Just cherish my grave instead, and I'm still gonna be with you anytime you call, just ring the alarm" she said, her voice echoing as she smiled widely.
Orion's eyes went shut slowly as he continued laying on the ground, and Sheila's ghost left.
Mist covered Orion's body immediately.

BALL HALL
The rain stopped at once, and the thunders stopped coming. Instead of the heavy wind, a gentle air blew in, and Samara opened her eyes beside the wall where she has been standing at.
Peony and Ruthie did the same, and they stood from their knees, then the other disciples were able to come in.
"Sheila is really gone" Echo said, crying as she stared at her body on the ground.
"I can't count, I just know the streets of Delos will be filled with uncountable dead bodies of people right now" Merlin said.
"And why would he kill the innocent cos of that mad sister of his who deserves to die" Zara said.
"What!" Samara faced her.
"I said what I said. Sheila deserves to die" Zara replied, and Samara glared at the ground she's standing on.
It opened up, and Zara sank inside.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed as she fell deeper and deeper into the pit.
Samara made to seal her inside, but Ruthie stopped her.
"Just let her be" she said, and Samara inhaled to calm herself before releasing her.
Zara was thrown back up from the pit, and her body flew to the roof, hitting hard on it.
Her bone definitely broke before she landed back on the ground with a loud groan.
"I'll take Sheila" Raven said, and Sheila's body was mounted on his back.
He took her out of the room, and the witches followed with Echo and Merlin.
"That bitch! I'm gonna kill her!!" Zara barked.
"I bet you can't. They say whiteheads are invincible especially the ones from her family" Ceres replied.
"I don't care" Zara rolled eyes as she stood.
She left with Ceres, and Agatha faced Aragon.
"Isn't this a catastrophe? I heard Orion stayed away from everyone for two weeks after Astrid's death back then. It's the sister he loves so much this time, maybe he might stay away from Samara for months, and we can make our move" Agatha said.
"We're getting there" Aragon smiled.
"But why are you so pained by Astrid's death? You still haven't told me why you wanna take revenge. It can't possibly be because he was your best friend" Agatha said.
"Don't ask too much questions" he replied and walked out.
Agatha sighed before following him.

HUNTERS HOUSE
Rhea made sure she came in through the underground door which led to the cellar, and from there, she climbed up, jumping the stairs till she got to the living room.
She was expecting to meet Jameson's shredded body, but nothing like that, so she turned to go inside, but her eyes widened when she saw the door of the forbidden room is open.
She ran in, and her eyes widened even more when she saw the coffin is open on the ground, then Jameson's burnt ashes beside it.
"Jameson" she muttered fearfully.
"Jameson!!!" She yelled, and she heard approaching footsteps behind, making her turn back swiftly.
Astrid appeared, and her eyes widened when she realized what actually happened.
His soul left Jameson's body during the fire and entered his real body in the coffin.
"Son" she mumbled, walking to him.
"I got my memories back, every single one" he said, and she nodded.
"Why did you resurrect me in another body? Why did you give me Jameson's body and locked my own body and memories inside that darn coffin for years! Mother! I dated Sheila my stepsister! I killed her with my own hands!!! How could you make me into a vampire hunter when you know it has always been my wish to become a vampire!!! You know how direly I always begged Orion back then to turn me!!!" He shouted hurtfully.
"I'll explain everything" Rhea replied carefully.
FLASHBACK, YEARS AGO... ASTRID'S DEATHDAY
After Astrid's body was brought home from the woods by Orion and Aragon, it was agreed that he'd be buried on the second day since he's human, and Rhea didn't argue.
She stayed in her open room throughout with Astrid's body, grieving with an heavy heart and Astrid's body in her arms.
"I can help you!" A voice echoed in the air, and she looked up tearfully.
"And who might you be?"
"You'll find out. Bring the child to Mojo forest in the 20th hour, and he'd be alive before tommorow morning" the voice replied, and Rhea continued her tears
She wants to pretend like she didn't hear anything, but she couldn't, so in the 20th hour, she took Astrid's body into the forest as said.
There she met Lilith, the old witch. She was already waiting with a black coffin, and she took Astrid from her, placing him inside.
"Why are you willing to help?" Rhea asked.
"I just want to. The witch who killed him doesn't deserve an upper hand" Lilith replied.
"And we need a new body for him once he wakes up because no one must know about his resurrection. I'm going to send his soul into the new body, and his memories will be left in his real body which will be kept inside the coffin forever" Lilith said.
"Meaning, he won't get his memories back till he goes back to his original body?" Rhea asked.
"Yes"
"So how do we find a new body for him?" Rhea asked.
"It's coming" Lilith replied, and a deer hunter(Jameson) suddenly walked into their circle.
His eyes widened when he saw the coffin, and he made to walk back immediately, but Lilith spelled him to come back.
His soul was sent out of him into a tree, and he fell unconscious, then Lilith faced the coffin and started reading the resurrection spell, making flames emanate from the coffin.
Astrid woke up ten minutes into the recitation, but his soul snapped out of him immediately, going into Jameson's body on the ground.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"Lilith's plan was to make us into vampire hunters, and that's why she saved you. I couldn't say no cos it's lucrative. We've been living fine all our lives with the money we make from staking vampires and you know it" Rhea said.
"I understand the other vampires but why Sheila!!! I dated her! We had sex! Meaning I fucked my stepsister! I was even closer to her back then than Orion cos of her liveliness and now I killed her with my own hands? Why didn't you reject the offer to stake her and Orion!!!" Astrid cried.
"Cos I hate them!!!! I've always hated everything that came out of Kira and they top the list of people I hate most! They're monsters especially Orion! He slaughtered almost the whole city!" She spat, and Astrid ran to her.
He grabbed her neck, and she gasped sharply.
"Astr ....
"Well guess what? Your son is about to become a monster too cos I'm resuming my search now. I'm gonna visit the Institute and get turned! I'm becoming a vampire soon! And you better be careful, Orion won't rest till he kills you" He spat, jumping down the window afterwards.
Rhea went down low, crying as she sat on the ground.
"Lilith everything is ruined, what should I do?"
•••••••
NEXT MORNING, INSTITUTE
Sheila's body was placed in a brown coffin in the assembly, surrounded by the disciples who're all wearing black.
Samara is the saddest, she cried throughout last night and has become so weak.
Not only because of the tears, but also because of the time she spent apart from Orion already. It's taking it's toll on her so badly.
Master Duran came up with the chiefs, all looking grim as they stared down at the body.
"Cross Mariwa bridge in peace" Master Duran said, and the disciples were about to say it after him when someone sped into the assembly like flash.
He took Sheila's body and sped off. No one saw his face cos he was faster than wind, but no one needs to tell them who it is. Orion.
*
"If I die someday, don't bury my body, else my ghost will haunt you down. Make sure you get my body and bring it to the garden of flowers where we used to draw at as kids. Make flowers cover me, and I'll be in peace forever"
Sheila's words pricked Orion's chest as he stood in the middle of garden of flowers with Sheila's body in front of him.
His face is so pale and his lips dried. He looks sick and miserable partly cos of the grief he's going through right now and partly cos of the time he spent apart from Samara.
He raised his right hand, revealing a slate, and on the slate, four words were written...
Sheila Alarm...Ding Dong.
He hung the slate on a flower stem and knelt beside the body.
"I'm burying you with the surname you love most, so don't take too long... I'll wait even if it takes years" he whispered, and flowers crawled all-over her body, covering her completely.
