"Bree!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled, and the energy of his yell made the whole place shake to it's roots. and volcanoes erupted in the middle of the inferno, making the place hotter than hell.
His skin got greatly affected, and he gripped the metal tighter, thinking of all the cruel things in this world he'd do to Bree.
He was still throwing the thoughts around his head when he remembered something, and a small smile returned to his face.
He looked at his arm, and in the next minute, he dug his teeth into it, biting deeply into the flesh till blood erupted.
He sucked a lot of his blood into his mouth, then he placed his face in the middle of the metals, spitting out the blood into the inferno.
The fire died immediately, and the volcano disappeared, making him smile evilly.
"Change of plans Bree, I'd save your blood for another day" he said.
Fresh hair hit his skin, and he let go of the metals, rolling his eyes before vanishing.

REED VILLA*
Mrs. Morgan Reed (Ruthie's mum) was drinking wine from the cellar when Bree rushed into the house, and Morgan gasped, dropping her cup when she saw her state.
Her neck is still so red from Orion's violence, and she's breathing hard. She sped here literally.
"Bree what's going on? I left your place less than an hour ago so...
"He came" Bree cut her off, and she squinted.
"Who?"
"The wizard, Sam's tormentor. The one I do see in my dreams Morgan!" Bree said, and her eyes widened.
"What! Wait... It's not who I'm thinking, right? He's the only wizard capable of hurting witches"
"He killed me Morgan! Thanks to Mother Elsa's necklace, I came back" Bree replied
"It's really him?" Morgan muttered.
"Yes, the cursed devil, Kira's child" Bree replied.
"What!" Morgan gasped.
"He got hurt by holding Samara's sword, and he came to ask for cure" Bree said.
"Then?" Morgan asked.
"We both know he really has to use Samara's blood to heal, but he wasn't ready. He insisted to get another way and there's none" Bree replied.
"I was lucky to have him locked up in the inferno dungeon using the capture spell, but I'm so sure he won't spend three minutes in there before escaping, he's really very strong" she continued
"He's surely gonna come back for you, we have to do something. The existing spells probably won't work on him as it is" Morgan said.
"Then?"
"We have to create a new spell together, come with me Bree" Morgan pulled her into the inner room.

MOUNT DELOS, DEMONS COVEN*
Agares and Karazi walked into the palace at once, and they met Queen Bakasura coming down from the bone stairs with princess Mali behind her.
"You summoned us, great queen" Agares said as they both bowed in front of her.
"I'm bored, so I'm playing with the disciples of mystic tonight. Mali spied on the Institute earlier, and it was detected that the cursed child is not in, great chance" Queen Bakasura replied and faced one of the numerous doors.
It opened for her, and she walked in.
The others followed, including princess Mali who has been quiet.
In there is a large burning fire, one of the seven fires of the empire.
Bakasura stretched her clawed hand forward, and a book appeared on it.
"Come here Mali, summon one" she said, and Mali took the book from her.
She opened it expressionlessly and tore a page from it, closed her eyes and allowed her spirit to become one with that page.
She communicated with it before throwing the page into the fire, and an explosiom happened, though it didn't affect them.
After the explosion, a demon came out of the fire, looking hideous.
His mouth is on his forehead, and it's wider than normal mouths, and he's got just one ridiculously big eye below the mouth. No nose.
He's got a long snake-like black tail and his arms look that way too, he's giant as hell!
"Welcome home" Queen Bakasura smiled.

MYSTIC INSTITUTE, 7PM*
The party hall is ready, beautifully decorated by flowers from Master Duran's hall in and out.
The foods are surplus already, placed on every table present, no empty table, and thanks to Echo's powers, the hall was lightened by several fireflies apart from the normal lights. It's dazzling in there.
'Chandelier' by Sia was playing softly.
"Awww! It's so beautiful!" Echo said cheerfully when she came in.
She's out of her robe right now, wearing a white gorgeous gown she took from Peony.
"You own the fireflies yunno? Don't act like it's the first time you'd be seeing it" a disciple replied beside her.
"Not that. The flowers weren't here when I came to summon the fireflies" Echo replied cheerfully.
"Echo!" Merlin's voice said from the door, and she automatically turned to see him him suit. Her eyes widened as he took each step to her.
The only clothes she has ever seen him in is the robes they both always wear, and it's part of why they even became friends apart from their same age, but now that she's seeing him in suit and a different hairstyle, gawd!
She was staring so hard that she was even unaware of when he got to him, so he had to tap her.
"Echo!"
"Huh" she muttered, and he smiled.
"I'm handsome, aren't I?" He asked, and she nodded slowly
"Yes, you're...
"Merlin come have a dance with me!" A disciple named Kaitlyn suddenly pulled him, and he faced her.
"Huh?"
"C'mon let's dance!" She pulled him away before he could reply, and Echo experienced mixed feelings immediately.
She turned her face away from him, holding her chest.
"Hey!" Ruthie's voice made her look up.
She's dressed in a really hot red gown, the colour matching with her hair.
"You look gorgeous, Ruthie" Echo smiled.
"That smile isn't genuine, is it because Merlin is dancing with Kaitlyn?" Ruthie said.
"You don't have a date?" Echo asked, avoiding the conversation.
"Nope. I'm single here tonight" Ruthie replied.
"Then what about Samara?"
"I dunno but she has been obsessed with practicing her sword lifting since morning, and she's unstoppable. She's not attending this party" Ruthie replied.
"Guys!" Peony said as she came in with Raven.
He's suited up just like the other guys, and he's looking extra handsome beside Peony who's wearing a purple gown, matching with the colour of her hair too.
"You guys look adorable" Echo said.
"She stole my line" Ruthie replied, and they laughed.
Krishna came in next, and Ruthie smiled widely immediately.
She wasn't expecting less cos he's freaking cute in his tuxedo, and she was licking her lower lip as she walked to him, but Ceres came into the hall and went to him faster, so she stopped on her tracks.
"Hey Krish!" Ceres waved, her two-tone hair looking good on her. She's pretty.
"It's Krishna" Krishna replied, and she took his arm.
"Let's dance" she said, but he shook her off immediately.
"Not interested" he said curtly and walked to where Ruthie is standing.
He picked a glass of wine from the table and and leaned into Ruthie's ear.
"You look s*xy in what you're wearing" he whispered before leaving the table, and Ruthie's cheeks reddened with blush immediately.
Ceres scoffed and walked angrily to another table.
She took a glass of wine and poured it down her throat at once, huffing as she did.
Agatha's gown was flowing when she entered the hall, it's completely black together with her lips, and she looks like a princess that she is as she walked.
She was scanning the hall for any sign of Aragon, so much that she didn't concentrate on where she's going.
She suddenly stepped on her gown and almost fell, but an arm wrapped on her waist from behind, and when she got released, she smiled when she saw who.
Aragon! He's suited up like the rest of the guys, and he's illegally s*xy!
He's not the most handsome guy in the institute for joke.
"Careful" he said, and she smiled wider as he walked away from her.
He just touched her!
The party started in full swing, though none of the chiefs are present, even the master
It's a party for the disciples only, and it stops there.
The song changed from Chandelier to Snowman still by Sia.
"Tonight is for me, Sia is my favorite" Ruthie said.
"I love Ariana grande, have you listened to 7 Rings?" Peony replied.
"Nope, I'm not her fan" Ruthie said.
"I'm a fan of Nicki" Ceres said, suddenly joining their table.
They all exchanged glances, wondering about the sudden change.
"I don't love music" Echo said.
"Me too!" Merlin replied, joining the table too.
Kaitlyn came with him, flirting and touching him anyhow. Echo scoffed and drank another cup of wine jealously.
"A game?" Agatha said, joining the table
"What game?" Ceres asked, and they all turned to her again.
Since when did Ceres and Agatha start talking to each other?
"Now tonight will be bad, I can sense it" Ruthie muttered.
"You can say that again" Peony replied beside Raven and made to drink another cup of wine, but Raven took it from her.
"You've drank enough already, you might get drunk" he said, and she smiled as she looked at him.
"I'll be fine" she said.
"No" he replied, and she gave him a peck on the cheek.
"For looking out for me" she said, and he chuckled.
"How about we start by voting for the most handsome between the two Superiors" Echo said drunkenly.
"I'm saying it again, something huge is happening tonight" Ruthie said.
"I know, right?" Krishna replied opposite her, and she smiled.
"I vote for Superior Aragon" Agatha said.
"It's Superior Orion" Ceres said.
"Superior Aragon" Ruthie said.
"Same here" Peony said.
"Same here" Kaitlyn said
"Same here" Raven and Merlin said at a time.
"It's Superior Orion for me, I like him" Krishna said, and Ceres smiled.
At least, he's on her side.
"Superior Aragon won this round, it's obvious he's the most handsome here, then Raven comes next" Peony said.
"Then let's vote for the prettiest female disciple" Echo said drunkenly again.
Agatha smiled confidently, she'd surely win this.
"Samara!" Peony and Ruthie said at a time, and they stuck hands.
"Samara" Raven and Krishna chorused too, and the smile disappeared from Agatha's face.
"It's Echo" Ceres said.
"Yeah, Echo" Kaitlyn said beside Merlin, and they all turned to Agatha.
"Talk" Ceres said, and she lifted the table with an hand, throwing it on the wall angrily.
"Samara? Echo? Their beauties are nowhere near mine!" She shouted.
"But no one wants you" Krishna laughed, and she threw a chunk of meat at him which he caught and took a bite from.
Agatha spread her palm immediately, and her sword appeared, making all eyes widen.
"Her sword!" Merlin gasped as she flew after Krishna with it.
She tried stabbing him, but he fled, and she stabbed the wall instead.
"Agatha stop!" Ruthie shouted.
"Shut it!!!" She shouted back, almost getting Krishna on the arm, but he escaped again and landed on the ground heavily.
Aragon came back into the hall, and he was about to step into the ongoing pandemonium when he suddenly felt something, and he stopped on his tracks.
His eyes widened. "A demon" he muttered.
"Demon?" Raven faced him.
"Out everyone! Out!" He shouted, rushing out.
Everyone ran after him except Echo who's drunk asleep.
*
ASSEMBLY*
Samara's lips became pale already just like it was in the morning as a result of excess practice on her own.
She's able to lift the sword already, and she's currently learning swordsmanship, but it's somehow difficult since they haven't been taught the various formations.
She wielded the sword one more time, swinging it to the back after making three moves, and she was breathing heavily, then she felt a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach.
It's normal to feel strange at times but this is different.
She stood still, and she was still standing still when Aragon teleported into the assembly, taking her away from the spot.
Immediately they landed on another spot, the horrific demon landed on the spot they left, and her eyes widened as the remaining disciples joined them.
"What the f**k is that" Raven muttered with wide , terrified eyes.
"You're not blind, it's a friggin demon" Krishna replied.
"Y'all are losing your souls to me tonight!!!" The demon growled, shaking the ground.
Agatha didn't wait anymore before charging forward with her sword
She tried attacking it, but he blew fire out of his forehead mouth, and Agatha's dress caught fire immediately, burning completely till she's left in her underwear.
"Spitfire?" Ruthie muttered, rushing to the demon to try her luck.
She leapt into the air and opened her mouth wide, releasing a large fire on him.
The demon tried to counterattack, but Ruthie's fire swallowed his own, and the moment the fire got to his body, he bled water from his wide mouth, and the fire went off before he was able to kick Ruthie away
She landed back on the ground painfully, and it was Aragon who leapt up this time.
His blue sword appeared in his right hand, and he gave the demon a slash with it, making him tumble.
He fell, and Aragon landed back on the ground.
He ran to it and threw his sword halfway, targeting the wide mouth, but the demon sent it back, and Aragon did a spin in the air before catching it.
He charged towards the demon again, and this time... Krishna, Raven, Ceres, Merlin, Kaitlyn and the others joined him.
Samara kept standing in awe, looking at the hot fight going on.
The only place she has seen a scary thing like this is in movies, so they actually exist for real?
She swallowed hard.
Agatha stood behind her, smiling cruelly as she brought the bottle of poison out of her bra.
She poured some on the blade of her sword and walked fast to Samara, thrusting it into her back from behind.
Samara gasped, vomiting blood as she looked at the sword in her stomach.
Agatha removed the sword . "Die" she muttered, and Samara went on her knees, eventually falling on her face.
The others are still having it hot from the demon, not noticing what's going on.
"Finally" Agatha smiled satisfactorily, but her smile was cut short when the cross necklace on Samara's neck began shinning.
"What ... is that?" Agatha muttered as the glow got brighter and brighter.
A beam of it entered her eyes, and she went blind immediately.
"Damn it! My eyes!!!" She screamed in darkness.
Samara rose from the dead, and the cross kept shinning as she grabbed her sword boldly.
Her eyes turned gold, and she leapt up, flying to the demon.
She met Aragon fighting viciously with him, and he's greatly wounded already.
"Superior go down!" She shouted, and Aragon left the air, so she stepped in.
The light from the cross blinded the demon too, so she got the chance to roll in the air before swinging her sword to it's neck, slicing it.
The head of the demon fell off, but the mouth on it's head was wide open, ready to swallow Samara whole as it fell towards her.
Samara's eyes widened, and she was already imagining herself getting swallowed when someone else came, grabbing her away from the demons head.
Orion! And he's shirtless, all sweaty and shinny.
His wounded right hand held her waist, and the left one caught the demon's falling head.
The red glow flashed in his eyes, and the head transformed into an apple.
He threw it in his mouth and swallowed it whole, and the rest of the demon's body melted to ashes, then he faced Samara whose eyes are still wide in his arms.
"Superior ... Onion"
"Told you you can't die without my permission, witch" he smiled creepily.
