NEXT MORNING, INSTITUTE - SAMARA'S ROOM
Orion was the first to wake up in the room, and just the way he likes,he propped up his elbow and rested his head on his palm, staring at Samara's face.
Before he knew it, he was smiling, then he brought his hand to her face and began rubbing it gently.
That woke her up, but Samara frowned immediately like he's a stranger.
"Who're you?" She asked, and he squeezed his face.
"Seriously?"
"Why are you here and who are you?" Samara asked, sitting up.
Orion sat up too and scoffed.
"Are you playing with me?"
"Orion?" She said slowly like she just remembered, and she smiled eventually before hugging him.
"Goodmorning" she said, hugging him tighter.
Orion hugged her back with lots of thoughts running through his head
What just happened?
"Well-done, you both" Ruthie's voice said from the chair, and they both turned to see the three girls sitting there, staring at them.
"You guys are awake already?" Samara smiled, leaving the bed.
"Superior Orion, I know you can manipulate any supernatural being but you're abusing that power. Last time you teleported me to my room without my permission but now you made I and the girls sleep off" Ruthie replied.
"Not sorry" Orion said.
"Wasn't expecting less" Peony muttered, and Samara hugged Echo first.
"Thanks for staying with me throughout" she said.
"I'm glad you're fine now" Echo replied.
Samara hugged Peony and Ruthie at the same time.
"I love you my witches" she said.
"The guys even had to go in search of Superior" Peony said.
"Really?" Samara broke the hug, and as if to confirm, the guys came in that moment.
"Superior is back?" Raven blinked.
"We roamed the woods all night for nothing" Merlin sat on the ground tiredly.
"Searching for me? Even if I spent the night in the woods, I can't be found by any living thing unless I want you to find me, don't behave that idiotic next time" Orion said and walked out of the room.
"He's so harsh with words, he even became worse" Raven mumbled
"He'd never change" Krishna muttered and walked to Ruthie to take her hand.
"Why don't we go reverse the spell?" He said, and she nodded.
They left the room together.
•••••••
Orion was walking the hallway back to his room when he suddenly saw Astrid
He's just coming back from the local clubhouse where he passed out at last night.
Orion stopped and waited till he saw him.
Immediately he saw him, Astrid's eyes widened, and he started walking fast to him.
On getting to him, Orion perceived the scent he perceived from Jameson on him, the smell of ashes.
His eyes twitched and became dark with a sharp glint.
He instantly understood everything, and he scoffed evilly.
"You haven't changed a bit, brother" Astrid said with a large smile, but Orion said nothing, just staring at him blankly.
"Luckily i found the witch who killed me, and she's in this same Institute, you should help me kill her cos she needs to die, though I shot her already, I'm sure she'd be at the point of death right now unless they find the antidote. I need you to kill her completely before giving me a welcoming hug" he said at once, and Orion remained silent again.
"Is there a problem? You're not happy to see me after years?" Astrid said with a frown, but then his expression changed immediately.
The ego alter took over him when he smelt vampire blood on Orion, and he brought the stake out of his shirt as fast as lightning.
He made to sink it into Orion's heart, but Orion change positions, going behind him.
Astrid turned back to him swiftly, but Orion beat him to the game.
His claws grew, and he sank his hand into Astrid's stomach deeply, getting a hold of his heart.
"Arggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Astrid cried out agonizingly.
"Welcome" Orion smirked.
"Argghhhhh!!!! Argghhhhh!!!!!!" Astrid cried again, and Orion pulled the heart out of him.
Astrid fell dead on the ground, and Orion threw the heart at the wall.
"Bye" he muttered expressionlessly.
"Orion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Aragon screamed insanely, running into the hallway.
Orion turned to face him, standing rigidly without moving an inch as he watched him run.
Aragon's eyes shone deep blue, and his sword appeared in his right hand just when he was about to get to Orion.
Orion didn't even bother to summon his own sword till Aragon got to him and raised the sword on him, but before he could bring it down on him, Orion's hand already grabbed his neck, and he lifted him off the ground like a ragdoll, throwing him off.
Aragon flew far away from him and landed on the wall, his sword falling from him.
"Urggh!" He groaned, holding his tummy as blood formed a thin line out of his mouth. The brightness in his eyes went down.
He spranged up and went after Orion again, this time without his sword.
He's good at fist fight, so he went for that, but immediately he punched Orion in the face, Orion grabbed his hand and almost broke his wrist, but he escaped when he elbowed Orion in the groin.
Orion staggered away from him, and he picked his sword, trying to take advantage of the situation and slash him.
Orion went behind him before he could detect, and when he raised the sword, Orion snatched it from behind.
Before Aragon could face him again, he already broke the sword into two.
He dropped the two parts on the ground, and it made a clattering sound.
"What!" Aragon gasped, going on his knees beside the swords.
"Even if I become a human today, you still won't be able to beat me in a fight, dummy" Orion said confidently.
"How dare you!!!" Aragon yelled, crawling to Astrid's body.
"You all have been accusing me of his death for years which I didn't even do, and I got cursed because of him. He was once in another body and he killed Sheila! If I get the time I'll gladly kill him over and over again. Now that I killed him for real, you can hate me all you want" Orion replied, and the other students started rushing into the hallway.
"Geez!" Peony and Echo said at once when they saw Astrid's body.
Samara's eyes widened with the others, and her eyes met with Orion's.
"Sorry, i couldn't spare him" he muttered and walked out of the hallway.
"Astrid!!!!" Aragon cried loudly.
"Darn it" Merlin muttered.

CERES'S ROOM
Ceres woke up to unbearable heat, and immediately she left the bed, she went to the window and opened it, but she got burnt by the sun immediately.
"Arhhhh!!!!" She screamed, closing the window quickly.
She was panting as she checked out her skin which was already going back to how it was.
"I forgot vampires are allergic to sunlight" she muttered, and Zara came in.
"And that's why you need this" she said, showing her her palm.
There's a necklace lying there with a sunlight shape pendant.
Ceres slowly took it, checking it out.
"So this stops me from burning in the sun?" She asked.
"Yeah, it was created by my mother before her death. She was a vampire too, and she walked in the sun with the necklace" Zara replied, and Ceres quickly put it on.
"Thanks, friend"
"Astrid is dead" Zara said.
"Ok how did that happen fast? You killed him in his room?"
"It wasn't me. Orion ripped his heart out" Zara replied
"He's a never hanging psychopath" Ceres smirked.
"Heard he staked Sheila" Zara said.
"That explains it" Ceres nodded, and Zara came closer.
"Now shall we start your chase after Krishna and my chase after Raven? We have two best friends to seduce" she said
"Of course" Ceres smiled.
•••••••
ORION'S ROOM
Orion arrived and pushed all the empty kegs of blood on the table away, and they scattered across the room as he released heavy breaths from his nostrils.
He was still raging, looking for something to pour his anger on, but when he found none, he summoned his sword and was about to stab himself maybe it'd relief the anger, but when he remembered Samara will surely get hurt too, he sent the sword back, and his arms went down.
He started walking out the wall to attack it, but then the door opened, and Samara came in.
She got where he's going immediately, and she rushed to hug him from behind, stopping him.
"Don't... please" she begged, tightening her arms on his tummy.
"He killed Sheila" he muttered , and her eyes widened.
"What!"
Orion sighed, eventually calming down as he remembered his conversation with Sheila before he left garden of flowers last night.
FLASHBACK
"Stand up now Orion, up!!!!!!" Sheila yelled, and Orion sat up, holding his bleeding stomach.
"Don't you worry, I'll make sure I eliminate everyone who's involved in this. Rhea won't go scot free" he muttered weakly.
"Rhea didn't stake me, it was Jameson, my ex. He's an hunter too, turns out he followed Rhea back to Delos" Sheila replied.
"I met him" Orion muttered.
"He smells like ashes, the hunters smell" Sheila further said.
"I definitely met him" Orion swallowed with difficulty.
"But the most amusing part is his real identity. He's carrying another person's face, but the soul inside the body is different. The body died already, thanks to the witches spell, but the soul returned to it's original body" Sheila replied.
"Who owns the original body?" He asked.
"You'll find out once you return, don't forget he smells like ashes" she replied.
