She passed out and fell into the safe arms of someone. Orion!
He was smiling creepily as he held her, looking at the burning fire.
He has promised himself not to interfere in whatever's gonna happen, but his instincts told him at the bar that she's in danger, and that's why he came in a rush.
"Whoa, bloodbath. Everyone is dead" Sheila said beside him.
They actually arrived together.
"Mazi, that idiotic fool" Orion muttered.
"He killed everyone" Sheila said, looking at the bodies of students lying around.
"They're not dead. And I need you to go after Mazi himself. I'm sure he's somewhere inside this building" Orion replied.
"You know well that he won't survive the meeting" Sheila said.
"I'm not a fan of his survival" Orion replied, and Sheila took off immediately.
By now, the dark clouds has started lifting, and morning is beginning to come back.
Orion looked at Samara and sighed.
"Not bad" he muttered and vanished immediately.
Two minutes after he left, Ruthie's eyes opened, and she sat up immediately.
"Peony!" She shook her, and she spranged up too.
Surprisingly, everyone began waking till the last person.
"They didn't die?" Peony muttered.
"The spell neutralized the poison from their systems, I think" Ruthie replied.
"What happened?" Raven asked.
"I don't get anything" Krishna muttered.
"Where's the demon?" Merlin asked.
"It's probably the ashes in that circle" Agatha replied, and they all turned their attention to the circle.
Truly, Jindro's ashes is right there, black ashes.
"How did it happen?" Kaitlyn muttered.
"Isn't it obvious? The so-called witches" Ceres replied.
"By the way where's Sam?" Echo asked.

Honourable Mazi was still looking around the Institute for any sign of Orion when he suddenly heard someone running past behind him.
He quickly turned, but he met zero.
Another whizzing happened behind him, and he turned back, but still no one in sight.
"I know it's you Orion! Come out and stop playing tricks! I'm killing you with my bare hands" he said.
"Wrong guess" Sheila's voice said, and he turned around again to see her walking to her.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"I don't like introductions but I'll give you one as your first and last gift from me. I'm Sheila Alaric" she replied.
"Alaric? As in Duran's daughter?" He said, and she smiled.
"Right" She replied.
"Then get your brother out to me right now!!!" He shouted.
"I don't fancy noises" Sheila replied.
"Do I look like I care? He killed my son he should pay for it!!!" He shouted again.
"Your douchebag of a son? Even before I left Delos, he has been raping young girls. He had a record of twenty girls before I left, and I'm sure it'd have increased to fifty before Orion eliminated him. He deserved to die" she replied.
"The number of girls he raped is no one's business! I always compensated the girls and their families anytime it happened!" He snapped.
"Now I badly wanna feed on you" Sheila glared.
"Bring out your brother!!" He yelled, and she sped to him.
Her fangs were already out before she got him, and she sank it deeply into his neck.
"Arggggghhh!!!!!!" He screamed in excruciating pains as she began draining his blood.
She didn't stop drinking till she swallowed the last drop of blood in his body.
She let go of him afterwards, and he slumped lifelessly on the ground.
Sheila wiped her bloody lips with her palm. "That was a delicious one"

AN ANCIENT TOMB*
Orion landed in the old tomb and placed Samara on top of a bed-like rock, then he smirked.
She's still unconscious with blood all-over her.
"Today is the day I try out the third time" he said and brought his hand to her necklace.
He tried to remove it, but immediately he touched, he got burnt, so he quickly removed his hand.
"What the hell!"
"Ok finee... I'll just come back" he said and left the tomb.
*
INSTITUTE*
All the disciples are currently in the assembly, waiting for the arrival of the chiefs and master.
Sheila stood beside Aragon at an angle, both watching the disciples silently.
"You fed on a human" Aragon finally broke the silence.
"I must still be reeking of blood. Mazi's blood is a good one" she smiled.
"He deserves it" he replied.
"You can say that again" she said and faced him.
"I dunno what's going on but Orion's suspicions are never wrong, and right now he suspects you. If you have an ulterior motive, you should drop it now" she said seriously.
"What if Orion's suspicions is wrong this time? He hates me so he might be lying to...
"Orion never lies, and you know. He'd rather say the truth and get killed than tell a single lie. He hates lies" she cut him off.
"And why are you defending him so much? He killed Astri..
"Astrid was destined to die the moment he was born as a human, and that's why he died like he did. Orion is my little brother no matter what, so watch out" she cut him off and walked away from him.
Aragon sighed.
"When are we journeying to your kingdom?" Kaitlyn asked as she joined Agatha suddenly.
Agatha looked around and saw Echo laughing with Merlin, and she smiled.
"You want him that bad?"
"As bad as you want Superior Aragon" Kaitlyn replied.
"Let's go tonight then, we're sneaking out" Agatha replied.
Raven is busy exchanging seductive glances with Peony, and Krishna coughed beside him.
"What?" Raven turned to him.
"You both should take it easy" Krishna replied.
"Samara is not here. She's with Superior Orion and you're busy exchanging glances with Raven? I can't believe you" Ruthie shook her head beside Peony.
"We both know Sam will be fine so far she has her necklace" Peony replied.
"It's Superior Orion we're talking about. He's full of tricks and I'm scared" Ruthie said restlessly.
"Can you calm your nerves?" Peony replied.
"It's useless talking to you" Ruthie muttered, stylishly staring at Krishna.
"I see what you're doing too" Peony said.
"I'm just taking a glance" Ruthie replied, and her eyes met with Krishna's.
"Hey" she smiled, and he returned the smile widely.
Ceres suddenly blocked Krishna from her, and she rolled eyes.
"Lissa what the f**k!" Ceres gasped when she saw her among the disciples.
"Lissa?" Krishna walked to her.
"What are you doing here I told you not to come out" he said.
"Master is here!" A disciple announced.
"Greetings master! Greetings chiefs!" They all chorused as Duran settled with his chiefs.
"And who's that kid?" Feathers asked.
"She's...my sister. She came to spend some days with me" Krishna lied.
"Human sister?" Water asked.
"Just like Astrid was human" Ceres said senselessly, and everywhere went silent.
"Making examples with Astrid is so stupid of you" Sheila said from her spot.
"You're stupid too" Ceres replied, and Sheila was already speeding to her when Feathers blocked her.
"Let it go" she said.
"Is that a command?" Sheila scoffed.
"Let it go!" Feathers replied, and Sheila attacked her on the throat.
Feathers staggered, and before she could retaliate, Sheila was already with Ceres.
Chief Water made to stand, but Master Duran held him back.
Sheila locked eyes with Ceres before compelling her.
"You'll bend down right now and start eating sand" she muttered.
Without argument, Ceres sat on the ground and began eating sand in handfuls, shocking everyone.
"Good riddance though" Chief Water said, and Master Duran stood.
"End the compel" he said.
"Not until she eats for five more minutes, father" Sheila replied stubbornly.

ANCIENT TOMB*
Orion came back after leaving for an hour, and he met Samara awake already, sitting up on the stone.
The blood on her clothes wiped magically already, even the ones on her skin.
Her inner wounds is currently healing, and her eyes are closed as it happened.
Orion waited far from her with his hands behind him like he's hiding something.
He stood that way till the healing process got completed, and Samara opened her eyes
"Onion?" She said, coming down from the rock.
"Where are we? Did you bring me here?" She asked and started walking to him, but he suddenly revealed his hand.
He's holding a poisonous arrow, and her eyes widened immediately she saw it. She stopped on her tracks.
"You really won't stop anytime soon, right?" She muttered.
"Consider this a test. I wanna see what happens when I hurt you again like Bathsheba said" he replied, setting the arrow
Bravely, Samara didn't leave her spot. She kept standing without even closing her eyes.
Orion raised the arrow and released it.
It sped into her tummy, and she gasped painfully, but then it happened.
Orion gasped too, and the arrow fell from him.
He got wounded too and began bleeding on the stomach from the same spot he arrowed Samara on.
Samara's eyes widened when she saw it, and their blood began dropping on the ground at the same time.
It has been confirmed right now, that when he hurts her, he'd get hurt too on the same place.
"Bathsheba... F**k!" Orion groaned.
