"Bathsheba... F**k!" Orion groaned, leaning on the rocky wall weakly.The poison is darn strong, so it's expected to take it's toll.Samara removed the arrow from her tummy and dropped it. It made a woody sound as it landed on the rock, and she bled more from the tummy."You're a bastard, Onion" she muttered and she immediately teleported from the cave, leaving just him.Orion walked to the rock bed, his hand still on his tummy till he arrived and sat.The wound began healing, and in the next second, the wound disappeared completely."What just happened?" He muttered, standing from the rock.His eyes widened, and he smirked."No. It better not be. It shouldn't be what I'm thinking" he muttered and rushed out of the tomb.He journeyed all the way to town and went straight to Bathsheba's house.He barged into the house and met her burning incense in her open room."You tried it already, I guess. How's your wound faring?" She asked without facing him."You knew what was gonna happen" he replied."And I told you it's dangerous, but you never listen to anyone. You got what you deserved" she said, finally facing her.He made to speed to her, but she glared at his head.Surprisingly, migraine didn't hit him as expected.He reached her and grabbed her shoulders, holding eyes with her."Your witchy juju tricks won't work on me easily anymore so turn off the Hocus pocus and tell me why it's like this!" He shouted."You know the answer, it's exactly what you're thinking" she replied, and he slowly let her go."She's...my weakness? To kill me, she'd have to be killed?" He said, and she sighed."Yes. Your weakness finally appeared after you clocked 25, so you should be careful. You can be killed now, there are many possibilities""Why her!!!! Why her of all people. I hate her like damn! I hate the sight of her!!" He shouted."That'd also change from now on. You'd lose control over it" she replied."What do you mean?" He faced her quickly."It is written in the legend. You're meant to fall for your weakness" she replied, and he frowned."Are you kidding me? Fall for her? She's not even pretty and I hate her slender stature, then to top it all, she's a whitehead? I'd rather murder myself Bathsheba. It's not happening" he said, and the old witch smiled."Like I said, you have no control over it. Watch what happens the next time you set eyes on her" she said and carried the burning incense, entering her inner roomOrion walked out of the house, slamming the door shut."I'll be the one to kill all the witches one day. Both the whiteheads and the whatever heads. I hate them all!!!" He shouted, kicking the door angrily.The door broke down, and he vanished.A minute later, Bathsheba came out, and she sighed when she saw the fallen door.diûs matránté ovréShe whispered, and the door lifted by itself, gumming to the frame again."It's starting" she smiled.*MYSTIC INSTITUTE*The students are all still at the assembly, though Master Duran left with Sheila earlier, so it's just the chiefs with them."What happened earlier should have taught y'all about what you're here to face as disciples. You're here to learn power cultivation, and at the same time, to fight against dark forces. Two demons went down and thanks to Samara for the two, y'all should emulate her. She was the weakest when y'all just got here, but now she's cultivating just fine. I want that for all of you" Chief Water said."Practices and classes are to be taken serious. Minimize everything else. Romance is not forbidden but give it limits. Make friends instead of creating enemies, and hatred destroys like y'all were told in the welcoming speech. Disobedient attracts a great penalty immediately, beware" Chief Feathers addedThe disciples remaining silent."Group practice resumes tommorow, you have all today to rest" Chief Water said."Thank you Chief!" They chorused before the two chiefs left them."We deserve the rest, today has been hectic" Peony stretched."I got a feeling that Sam is back, let's go check on her!" Ruthie pulled her away from the assembly.Ceres is still sitting on the spot she ate sand from, hitting her own chest as she tried to vomit it.Agatha walked to her with Kaitlyn, and they both began laughing."Maybe you should drink some cleansing water from Chief Water's hall, but I bet he won't give you cos you don't deserve it" Agatha mocked."It'd take hours before you'd be able to vomit it with your powers. Happy suffering till then" Kaitlyn said, and Agatha laughed again as they walked away together.Ceres kept sitting, unable to say a word. The stones in the sand are choking her real bad."How pitiful" Krishna said from beside Raven."Don't waste your time pitying her, she's not worth it" Raven replied."I wish I could help" Lissa said"After all the trouble you caused? Just follow me" Krishna replied, and she smiled as he ran after him. Raven followed.*SAMARA'S ROOM*True to Ruthie's instincts, Samara was already back in the room when she arrived with Peony.She's busy changing into new clothes."Sam!' Ruthie rushed to give her a hug, and she grinned."I was only gone for some hours""Several hours! And you left with Superior Orion, he's dangerous so we were worried" Peony held her hands after Ruthie broke the hug."Are you ok?" Ruthie asked."Of course! He took me to a cave, and...I healed over there, then I teleported back home. It works outside the bathroom now" Samara replied."And Superior Orion didn't try to hurt you? Sounds unbelievable. He's not someone who'd let you go without a scratch" Peony said."Same thing I was thinking about" Ruthie said."I'm fine guys so don't worry. What did I miss during my absence?" Samara winked."Ceres ate sand!" Ruthie shouted."What the hell!" Samara's eyes widened."She was rude to Sheila, so she compelled her to eat it. I wish phones are allowed here, I'd have made a video for you to watch. It was so funny" Peony said."Oh my gawd! I missed!" Samara fell on the bed dramatically.*PRESTIGE HALL*"Compelling a disciple to eat sand in front of others was wrong" Master Duran said seriously.Sheila is standing in front of him, looking unmoved at all by his words. She's not even blinking."But you didn't stop me, meaning she deserved it. She was rude to me" she said."I didn't stop you cos I'm aware that you have same spirit as Orion. Stopping you both fuels your stubborn spirits to do more. You might even kill her! The fact that you're a vampire doesn't mean you're stronger. I'm older than you Sheila, and I'm your father" he replied."Feathers is older too, but I can easily snap her neck in two. Age doesn't matter, father. The fact is I'm a vampire and you both are just immortals. I'll always be more powerful, it's not bluff" she replied without blinking again."I thought you changed during your world tour" Water said, coming in with Feathers."Portugal, Paris, Chicago, Italy... Asia.... it'd take more than those countries and continent to change me. I'm just who I am" she replied and walked out .She was glaring hard at Feathers till she went out completely."Do we have another problem now expect Orion?" Water said."What do you mean?" Feathers faced him."She drained every liter of blood in Mazi's body. She killed him" Water replied.Without a word, Master Duran went back in."He's hardly different from his children" Feathers muttered.*DINNERTIME, RAVEN'S ROOM*Raven was dressing up for cafeteria when Peony came in, and he left his belt unbolted to look up."Peony!" He said cheerfully."Was planning to go to the cafeteria with you. Dinner is almost ready" she said."Oh... gimme a minute to bolt up" he replied."I can actually help with that" she said, walking to him.He left the belt for her, and he stared at her as she bolted till she's done.She looked up to meet his eyes on hers, and she reddened completely."Raven" she called longingly."Should we skip dinner?" He whispered, and she smiled."Let's eat dinner here" she said and pushed him to the bed, coming on top of him.Their mouths kissed as they stripped themselves.Minutes later, their clothes were already off.Left in their undies, Raven went between her legs, kissing her thighs.She moaned out."Gawd... Raven...*KRISHNA'S ROOM*Cat is currently in the dinning since she's always not interested in playing with Lissa, so it's only her on the bed again, playing with a scent bag.Krishna came out of the bathroom where he had his night shower, and that was when he noticed his diary is not the way he placed it anymore.He rushed to it and picked it hastily before facing Lissa."You touched this?" He said lividly."I only read few pages and..."And who said you could touch it! Did I ever give you permission? Huh? Did I?" He said."I'm ...I..."Shut it... please" he said harshly, and she started crying."I was just bored when you told me to stay in the room alone" she muttered, and he sighed.He dropped the diary and watched her cry for some minutes before walking to her.He sat beside her and started stroking her hair."Don't cry anymore""Sorry I touched it" she said, and he nodded.She hugged him immediately, and he hugged her back.Again, the strange sensations came, but then the reminder helped him.She's just a kid.*DINNING*"Yes! What are we having tonight?" Samara squealed happily as she appeared in the dinning hallway with Ruthie."Must I be the one to always check the timetable for you? It's bread" Ruthie replied."I don't fancy bread but it it's toasted then..." Samara said."Toasted break and milk" Ruthie replied."Yes!!!" Samara shouted, jumping up happily.She bumped into someone, and Ruthie's eyes widened when she saw who it is.Orion!He's with Sheila, and Sheila is smiling at what just happened."Hey redhead! Let's have dinner together!" She suddenly pulled Ruthie's hand, taking her into the cafeteria.Samara's eyes widened a bit when she saw Orion, but the strange thing is that instead of yelling at her, he's busy staring at her so much.She folded her arms on her chest."So what's my punishment for bumping into you?" She said."You're beautiful" he said senselessly, and her arms dropped from her chest."What!""I mean... you're ugly" he said again, like he's crazy."What's wrong with you? Are you sick or something?" She touched his forehead for his temperature, and surprisingly again, he stood still."You're perfectly fine, then why acting crazy" she muttered, and when she made to take her hand away, he held it there"Keep touching, I love the feel of your hand on me" he said, and she quickly withdrew her hand."You're definitely going insane" she shook her head and went the other way.Orion came back to his senses immediately, and he held his forehead."What the f**k did I just do? What's happening to me? I'm running mad" he muttered, rushing out of the hallway.*DELOS WOODS*Agatha and Kaitlyn are currently on their way to Sullivan as planned.They sneaked out when it was time for dinner, and they've been on the walk for some minutes."It's always dangerous in the woods at night, are you sure we won't get killed?" Kaitlyn said."I'm not sure but if you keep talking like this and mistakenly wake a sleeping forest beast, then we'd die for real" Agatha replied."But walking without talking is the most dangerous. We can't keep mute" Kaitlyn faced her."We still have about five hours to walk. Keep your energy" Agatha said."But you could have messaged your father with a pigeon, he'd have sent us a litter" Kaitlyn replied."Don't you know the meaning of sneaking out? Even his Majesty must not find out. We're not going to my palace, we're going to a shaman" Agatha replied.Kaitlyn hasn't replied when an orange fell from the tree they're walking under."Whoa! There are still oranges in the woods of Delos? Interesting" she said and rushed to pick."Don't pick!" Agatha shouted, but it was too late.Immediately Kaitlyn's hand touched the orange, her skin started becoming dark right from her hand, climbing to her body to her face."What's happening to me? Agatha! Help!!! Help!!!!" She screamed as she began turning to dust."Help Agatha!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"She turned to dust completely, blowing away like nothing.Agatha's eyes were as wide as f**k as she turned to start running away, but she met a scary beast in front of herself."Arggghh!!!!!!!!!!!!!"*DELOS STREETS*Ceres appeared from a corner, looking so furious as she walked towards a shopShe successfully vomited all the sand some minutes ago, and she got out of the Institute immediately.She stood in front of the shop, and within a second, she shifted her shape to Sheila's.She smiled after the transformation, then she entered the bookshop.There are numerous people inside. Just what she wants.She pulled two of them to herself using a strong magnetic force, and immediately their necks reached her palms, she removed their heads from their necks so easily, and their blood splashed on her face.The people inside began screaming as they tried to go out, but Ceres closed the door magically, so they're all caged in."No one gets out!" She spat, grabbing another two.*INSTITUTE, ORION'S ROOM*Orion has been restless since he got back, trying to fight back his urge but it's not working a bit.Whatever this is, he has no idea but it's currently taking complete hold on him.He's not the one controlling himself, and his head is not listening to him."I hate her" he said with difficulty, but his tongue twisted immediately."I like her!" He was forced to say, and he slapped himself."I hate her" he said again, and the twisting repeated."I li...ke... her" he said, then he slapped himself again.*You need to go see her, you like her don't you? Don't run away from her* the voice said in his head."Shut up!!!" He grabbed his head."Go to her!!!!" The voice yelled back, and he was unaware of when he walked out of the room.*ARAGON'S ROOM*Samara went there immediately she left the hallway earlier. She has it in mind to invite Aragon to dinner with her.She opened the door after knocking and met him about to leave the room too."Going for dinner?" She smiled."Yes. Wanna go together?" He smiled back, and she nodded.She rushed to grab his hand, and she was about to pull him out of the room when Orion pushed the door open violently.One of the two parts fell, and their eyes widened as he sped to them and grabbed Samara by the shoulders.He was sweating so much, and his eyes are slightly red. He's breathing heavily too, hot breaths, and his thin veins are shaking on his neck."Onion" Samara muttered as she looked up at him shockingly.*Say it* the voice in Orion's head said."Eat dinner with me, please" he muttered.
