She knowingly hit her head on the wall furiously, and blood wet her face immediately.
She walked away afterwards, not bothering to wipe the blood on her face.
Meanwhile, Aragon was just breaking the kiss with Samara, and their faces mirrored again, but her eyes remained close, like she's waiting for more.
"You might wanna open your eyes" Aragon said, and she slowly opened up, smiling immediately their eyes met.
"That was...
"Was what?" He smiled too.
"Sweet" she bit her lip, and he chuckled before letting go of her.
Her eyes widened when she suddenly saw the bite wound on his neck is gone.
"Your wound!" She gasped, pointing at it.
He touched the spot, and his eyes widened too.
"It's gone"
"Wait...the kiss?" She said surprisingly.
"The kiss" he replied.
"But I can't heal others, why did my kiss heal you?" She asked.
"I dunno, maybe we formed a bond already, who knows since it's your first" he replied.
"Great, but who did you have your first kiss with?" She asked, and he went silent immediately, then he sighed out.
"We'll see tommorow, Sam. It's already late" he said.
"Oh that's true, I should go have dinner" she replied, rushing to grab the herbs on the ground.
"Bye Superior!" She waved, rushing out of the room.
Aragon's expression changed immediately, and he touched his healed neck again.
*
Samara was skipping on her toes, giggling sillily as she came out of the apothecary where she went to return the herbs.
She's just so happy right now and can't wait to break the news to Ruthie.
She was still skipping when a stone suddenly landed in front of her.
She stopped and looked up immediately, only to see Orion sitting on the roof, looking down at her.
"Are you really gonna continue like this? Hurting people around me too?' she said seriously, and in the next minute, he was already in front of her.
"Aragon isn't nice" he said, and she scoffed.
"You must feel good after saying that"
"I'm not the type to warn people of impending danger cos I love watching people suffer in misery, but you ... You're different, meant to die in my hands so if anything happens to you with Aragon, I'll make sure to wake you and kill you again" he said, and she glared her eyes at his head
Sudden headache gripped him immediately, and he hardened his bones as his head hammered.
"Stay away from me. I'll only obey you when it's time for practice" she said and walked away from him.
The stopped, and Orion turned around to watch her leave.
He smiled creepily.
*
CAFETERIA*
Samara met multiple of disciples inside already when she came in, and some were already eating, but a large number are still on the line, waiting for food
"Sam! Here!" Ruthie shouted from where she's standing with Peony.
They're in the middle of the line.
Samara walked to them with a pout. "Guess I'd have to be the last in line" she said.
"Sorry yunno the rules don't support taking space for others, else we'd have" Ruthie said.
"Don't feel bad, I'll just join the line behind. What's in the menu?" She asked.
"Pasta carbonara!" Peony replied.
"Yes!" Samara jumped and rushed to the end of the line, licking her lips as she waited for her turn, and at the same time, she's busy replaying the kiss with Aragon in her head.
Her smile disappeared when she suddenly saw Orion sitting at the far end of the cafeteria, his eyes on her.
"The f**k! What is he doing here and why is he looking at me like he wants to kill me" she muttered, turning away from him.
Agatha suddenly entered the cafeteria, the blood on her face is gone but the wound is still there, and as usual instead of staying in line, she went to the front, and everyone made way for her till she got there and started dishing out her food.
"Bullshit" Samara said and walked briskly to the front.
"Hey what do you think you're doing?" She asked.
"What does it look like?" Agatha faced her.
"You might wanna go back and join the line. I came in before you so how come you're eating before me" Samara said.
"You're overstepping your boundaries, that's how it has always been here and you have no right to question me!" Agatha said and continued dishing her food.
Samara hissed and snatched the food tray from her, throwing it on the ground immediately.
The food spilled, and Agatha gasped.
"What the hell b**ch!"
"We'd both rather not eat in here today" Samara replied, and Agatha made to slap her, but her hand hung in the air, she couldn't move it.
"What's happening?" Ruthie muttered.
"Wait... Superior Orion" Peony replied, and they looked his way to see him glaring at Agatha's hand.
"He's stopping Agatha from slapping Sam? When did he start protecting her?" Ruthie said, and the shock doubled when Agatha slapped herself, and everyone gasped as she fell on the ground. The food on the ground stained her trousers so badly.
"Cool" Orion stood, walking out of the cafeteria immediately.
"What did you do!" Agatha screamed, looking up at Samara from the ground.
Samara folded her arms under her b**bs before bending slightly to her.
"I did nothing, it's called karma" She said, and everyone laughed as the line continued.
Agatha stood and walked out of the cafeteria angrily.
Ten minutes later, Samara got her food and joined the others on the table.
Ceres and Raven are on different table though, then Echo and Merlin on another table too.
It's just the three witches on a table.
"I still don't understand what happened earlier. Why would Superior Orion do that to Agatha cos of you?" Ruthie said.
"Onion?" Samara blinked.
"Yes, he did that to Agatha earlier. He went out immediately it was over" Peony replied.
"Urg! That psychopath. He believes no one has the right to hurt or kill me except him" Samara said and started eating.
"Crazy, maybe you should just barb off your hair or cut it" Peony said.
"Do you know what happens if razor touches my hair?" Samara said.
"You'd disappear?" Peony asked.
"I dunno, but mum warned me never to try it or even dye it. It's special yunno, a whitehead witches thing" Samara replied.
"This is the first time I'm hearing about this" Ruthie said as she started eating too.
"Heard Astrid and Superior Orion aren't the only children of Master Duran" Peony said.
"Really? There's another?" Ruthie asked.
"Yes, Superior Orion has a senior sister who's a total vampire like I heard" Peony replied.
"Cool, now I understand why Superior Orion can't be killed" Ruthie said.
"He has several personalities close to 100, so if he gets killed in his wizard form, he can continue living as a vampire, and if he gets killed in his vampire form, he can continue living as a werewolf...blah blah blah... isn't that why he is so arrogant?" Samara scoffed
"This hatred is overflowing" Ruthie laughed.
"Let's keep that aside. Guys I have a news" Samara dropped her cutleries.
"And?" Ruthie and Peony asked at once.
"Superior Aragon...
"Kissed you?" Ruthie and Peony chorused.
"Yes!!" Samara said childishly.
"What the f**k!!!" Peony and Ruthie screamed out, drawing attention of others.
Echo and Merlin joined their table immediately.
"What's happening here?" Merlin asked.
"Just this morning, you were following Kaitlyn around, and today you're back to Echo?" Ruthie rolled eyes.
"He was under a strong hypnosis from Kaitlyn" Echo said.
"Wait...that b**ch is an inducer?" Samara asked, and Merlin nodded.
"I almost lost my virginity earlier" he said.
"F**k! This place is driving me crazy, just how many abilities are there?" Ruthie held her forehead.
"All abilities you could think of. I bet you haven't met the sirens" Echo said.
"Wow!" Samara nodded.
"Guys I heard a news" Merlin said, and they all drew closer to him.
"Honourable Mazi is storming the Institute tommorow" he whispered.
*
RAVEN'S TABLE*
"Why are you eating on this table? There are several others" Raven asked, facing Ceres after dropping his spoon.
"We both know Zara will never allow you to date anyone else even after you broke up with her, so it's better you stop whatever you're planning with Peony right now" she said.
"You're scared she'd locate me and come here?" He smirked.
"The moment she detects it, we both know she's coming here and you know how much I hate the sight of her!" Ceres snapped.
"Can you please go to hell?" Raven stood.
"I'm trying my best to warn you" she stood too.
"Thanks" Raven replied and left the cafeteria.
*
KRISHNA'S ROOM*
Lissa was sitting on the bed when Krishna came out of the bathroom, and he started looking for Cat with his eyes.
"Where's that troublemaker?"
"She has refused to play with me" she replied.
"Seriously? Cat loves kids so why?" Krishna said.
"Maybe I'm not a kid" Lissa replied, and he frowned
"Meaning?"
"I'm 7 years old, far from a kid" she said, and he smiled.
"Whatever"
He walked to the wardrobe and started looking for something to wear, leaving Lissa to stare at his backside as water ran down his skin.
She bit her lip slightly, and she eventually smiled.
"You know..." She said, and Krishna turned to her.
"What?"
"You're actually... Handsome" she said, and he raised his brows.
"Seriously? Don't tell me you have a crush on me little girl" he said.
"How old are you?" She asked.
"I'm 20" he replied, walking to her.
"Twenty minus 7, so you're 13 years older. Not bad" she muttered, and he giggled as he sat beside her.
"Seriously? Not bad? You're too matured for a kid" he said, stroking her hair.
She bathed already, and she's wearing a new dress provided by Ceres, so her hair is shinny.
They locked eyes, and Krishna frowned a bit.
There's just something about her.
*
NIGHTTIME, SAMARA'S ROOM*
Neither Peony nor Ruthie spent their nights in her room tonight, so Samara is all alone on the bed.
She's deeply asleep, looking so peaceful, but Lissa suddenly appeared in the room, and she walked slowly to her bed.
"She's pretty, too bad you're dying soon" she muttered, but then she snapped out of it and closed her eyes, disappearing into her dream.
Immediately she landed inside, she grew up to her original body. Mali, and she smiled before looking around.
She's in the middle of a forest, dark and dead silent, just the crying of crickets and the light from the moon are the only witnesses to her arrival.
She moved forward, looking around for any sign of Samara, but even after searching for an hour, she couldn't find her
"I'm sure I entered her dream, why is she nowhere to be found?" She muttered, coming to a stop under a tree.
"You're not very smart, are you?" Orion's voice said, and she turned around for any sign of him, but he's not in sight.
"Show yourself! Show me your face!" She shouted.
"Wrong choice of words. Your ears don't recognize my voice? Too bad, that's dangerous to your existence" Orion replied.
"The cursed child?" She said, and he finally appeared in front of her in his vampire form, making her shift back.
"And what the hell are you doing in her dream? Why are you here without getting invited?" He said, trying hard to keep his calm.
"You hate her too. The legend says you'd hate her till death cos of her hair!" Mali snapped
"I do, and that's why I have to protect her with everything possible. No one hurts her except me and no one kills her but me" he barked.
"We need her for the sacrifice and you know it! A demon is part of your personalities so you're partly one of us in the coven" Mali said.
"Too bad, my wizard part overshadows the others" he replied, and a stake appeared in her right hand.
She was about to drive the stake through his heart when he grabbed the hand tightly, shaking the stake away from her hand.
"Nice trick" he smiled and was about to sink his fangs into her neck when someone drove a stake into his heart from behind.
Orion withered and fell on the ground, dead.
Mali vanished, and the face of the person came to view. Aragon!
Samara woke up from the dream immediately, sweating so much.
She held the cross necklace on her chest and swallowed, getting down from the bed.
"Superior Aragon and Onion in my dream?" She muttered, rushing out of the room.
Immediately she left, Mali came out too, transformed back to Lissa.
She walked all the way back to Krishna's room.
*
ARAGON'S ROOM*
Aragon was writing spells in the middle of the room when Samara rushed in, breathing hard
"Sam?" He stood, and she walked fast to him.
"I saw a scary girl in my dream earlier, she was hunting for me when Onion arrived to get her away, but while he was doing that, you appeared and ... Killed him" she explained breathlessly, and almost immediately, Orion barged in and sped to Aragon, grabbing him by the throat.
"What were you doing in her dream? Why were you inside and why did you stake me! You killed my vampire form! Mali escaped!" He shouted.
"I never entered her dream. Why would I? You were probably imagining it cos of the hatred you have for me" Aragon replied, pushing Orion off of himself.
"Onion you should stop this" Samara said.
"Shut up!!!!!!!!!!" Orion yelled furiously, and and thunder followed the yell as his eyes turned red.
An heavy rain started outside, and a part of the wall cracked.
Samara shifted back fearfully.
"Don't lie to me, If you're deceiving her with your saint side, you can't deceive me too!" Orion growled.
Slowly, he began transforming into his demon form. His anger is fuelling the transformation real bad.
"No" Samara's eyes widened.
"I never entered her dream" Aragon said again, and that statement scattered all of Orion's head completely.
"Grrrrrrrrooooowwwwllll!!!!!" He thundered, ready to transform completely and put an end to Aragon's life when someone else sped into the room.
She grabbed him away from Aragon and slammed him on the wall. The wall cracked again as a result of his energy.
He was about to attack when he saw the person's face, and his hand went down.
"Sheila?" He said, and she smiled with a wink
"Long time no see, little brother"
