Black blood came out of the eyes as he summoned his sword, and immediately it appeared on his palm, he sank it 'DEEP' into Samara's belly, and it came out on her back.
All eyes and mouth fell open immediately, and Master Duran spranged up same time with the chiefs.
"Sam!!" Ruthie screamed in horror as Orion removed his sword from her belly, and she fell on the ground lifelessly, blood gushing out of her.
Master Duran leapt into the air, flying over to the scene, but Orion vanished before he could land.
The chiefs ran down too, their eyes just as wide.
He knelt beside her, touching her forehead with two fingers as Ruthie held her.
"Sam, please don't die" she was already crying as her blood continued gushing.
"Take her to the ice cave!" Master Duran ordered, and it was Aragon who came up and carried her in his arms, rushing out of the assembly with her.
Ruthie ran after him and several other disciples.
"She was obviously flirting with Aragon, serves her right" Agatha muttered, smiling as she remained standing.
"Why would Orion do such? She might die!" Chief Water said.
"She won't, she's a healer herself. Her mother verified it" Master Duran replied.
"Being a healer doesn't count, Duran. Orion's sword is poisonous" Chief Feathers said.
"It does. She's a special breed, and she might not heal as fast as she usually does, but she'd surely heal" Master Duran replied, climbing down the stairs.
He left the two chiefs, and Chief Feathers began stroking the beak of the bird on her shoulder.
"Why would he stab her?" Chief Water said again, and Feathers faced him.
"Her hair" she smirked.
"Hair?"
"You don't remember? Astrid was murdered by a whitehead witch" she replied.
"Doesn't mean every whitehead is the killer. He didn't even see the killer's face" Chief Water said, and Feathers smiled, facing the now empty assembly.
"You know how Orion is"
*
Orion landed back in his dark room, and the three stars at the back of his hand began shinning in the dark, illuminating the room slightly with redness.
He dropped his bloody sword on the table, and Samara's blood got magically wiped from it immediately.
His brows pulled when he remembered how he stabbed her without waiting earlier, and he rested his palms on the table, remembering that black evening when Astrid died.
FLASHBACK, YEARS AGO*
"Orion! I need to go fetch herbs in the woods" Astrid rushed into Orion's room, and Orion looked up from the book he's reading.
He's a great lover of books.
"Again? Well fine, just don't tell me to follow you" he said.
"You know there's no way I'm going without you. Orion please...
"Sometimes I wonder why I was born powerful while you were born as a human, it's frustrating I can't even do anything without considering you first" Orion replied.
"Just ten minutes, we won't take long I promise" Astrid begged again.
"Go call Aragon" Orion replied.
Aragon is Astrid's friend.
"He's currently not in the city, please Orion I....
"Then wait till I finish this book" Orion cut him off, and he sighed.
"Fine! I'd go alone!"
He left the house, and Orion inhaled in relief.
"Finally some peace" he smiled and returned to reading his book.
He was on it for hours, and he got so lost in it so much that she didn't notice Astrid is taking too long.
"Astrid!" Aragon shouted from outside, and that brought Orion back from the reading land.
He dropped the book and and looked up. Aragon came in.
Though he's friends with Astrid, but they're not close, they barely talk to each other unless if he wants to ask for Astrid.
"Where's Astrid?" He asked as expected.
"He's....
Orion stopped talking, and his eyes widened when he realized he has actually been gone for two good hours!
The book dropped from him, and he ran crazily out of the house.
"What's happening? Why aren't you saying anything!" Aragon ran after him, but he never stopped nor looked back.
He kept up the race as he went deeper and deeper into the woods with Aragon running behind him.
He suddenly came to a stop when he saw drops of blood on the green leaves, and his eyes widened.
The flapping of wings could suddenly be heard, and he looked up immediately, there he saw a white headed girl flying away in the sky with two giant wings.
She was already gone before Aragon caught up with him, and they both saw Astrid's body lying in blood at once.
He's lifeless under a tree.
"Astrid!!!!"
FLASHBACK ENDS*
Orion clutched his hand on the sword edge as he remembered, and his door opened violently.
Master Duran walked in, and when he tried to vanish again, Duran held him back with a strong magnetic force, gumming his foot to the ground till he got to him and slapped him on the chest.
Orion flew away from his spot, crashing on the bedstand. The bedstand shattered immediately his body touched it, and he landed in the middle of the wooden pieces.
"You think it's fun? Hurting people is a game? What are you turning into!" Master Duran demanded furiously.
"She's not a human, she's a witch, a whitehead!" Orion replied as he stood from the middle of the pieces with bloody dentals.
"Orion!!!"
"Keep her away from me, it's an advice" he replied and vanished.
Master Duran inhaled frustratingly, closing his eyes.
