"Take it back, Duran. She's going nowhere" he said, and the smile on Aragon's face disappeared.How the hell did he get rid of the orb without the sunlight? How did it happen?He was still looking dumbstruck when Master Duran spoke."Respect is one of the compulsory virtues of all the disciples here, and you lack that in every way possible""Seems you forgot I'm not a disciple here, you made me a superior yourself, and even if I were a disciple, I still wouldn't respect you, no one deserves that" Orion replied and walked to Samara who was still kneeling.He grabbed her hand, pulled her up and started taking her away to the shock of everyone.Chief Water tried stopping him, but Master Duran held him back, and he relented, then Aragon sped to them.He landed behind Orion and made to touch him, but Orion's sword appeared and wielded itself, facing his neck, so he stopped.The sword remained on his neck till Orion went out of sight with Samara, then it disappeared, and Aragon gritted his teeth."A disciple of this institute went missing last night" Master Duran said, bringing them all back to the present.Agatha started shaking in the middle of the disciples immediately, and when Ceres saw her, she smirked."Kaitlyn, does anyone know of her movement?" Chief Water asked."No. She has no friends but she recently started moving with Agatha" a disciple replied, and Agatha gasped."Agatha?" Chief Water faced her, and she folded her hands behind herself to tune down her shakiness before looking up."Yes chief, we became friends for a short period of time and I'm also shocked by her disappearance"She turned her face back to the ground after saying that, and Ceres smiled when she remembered how she bumped into her last night.The assembly got dismissed, though everyone has to go eat breakfast and prepare for morning classes.They started dispersing, and Ceres suddenly blocked Agatha."You bumped into me last night remember? By the gate, and you were running, sweating and panting" she said, and Agatha tried to leave by another way."Let me guess... you both sneaked out to do something bad, and Kaitlyn was killed by a demon? Or was it a beast?" Ceres said, and Agatha froze before turning back slowly."Watch your mouth" she said, and Ceres laughed, holding her lips with her hand for a minute before letting go."Of course I will, but it'd only take some hours before master finds out what happened. I'll wait till then, that'd be more interesting" she said and smiled knowingly at Agatha before walking away.Agatha bit her tongue and rushed off."Krishna!" Ceres walked fast to him when she saw him squatting in front of Cat, playing with her."Hey, are you ok?" He asked as he stood, and she hugged him in response.Lissa who's just coming out of the villa saw them, and she went sad immediately."Thanks for taking me out to the library last night. Who knew what'd have happened if you weren't there to take care of me" Ceres said, and Krishna broke the hug."It's fine, but I felt something strange in the library last night though, a dark energy" he said."Dark energy in the library? Maybe it's the energy from one of the ancient books, you must have mistook it" she replied."You think so?* He said, and she nodded before grabbing his arm."Eat breakfast with me, Raven can join us" she said, and he frowned."I know you don't like me, but as my brother's friend. Just this once ok?" She said, and he sighed."Fine""Yes! Come with me!" She pulled him away, and Ruthie caught sight of them as they left together.The smile on her face fell, and she was staring at them without focusing on her way."He gave me a peck last night, and now he's allowing Ceres to touch him?" She muttered hurtfully.She kept staring till she bumped into Lissa who was also staring at them.Immediately they bumped, Ruthie felt a rush of coldness, and her body shook. She instantly saw a vision, but it's not very clear.All she could see clearly was the tail of a fish, and the cold kept hitting her as she stood there speechlessly."Ruthie!" Peony tapped her, making her jump back to reality."Peony!" She gasped."What were you thinking? And why are you shaking?" Peony asked."She's gone?" She replied when she couldn't find Lissa anymore."She? Who?" Peony asked, and Ruthie blinked."Oh... nevermind and let's go" she said, and Peony shook her head as they walked away together.*ORION'S ROOM*Orion took Samara in immediately they got there, and the darkness in the room made her gasp, but the stars at the back of his hand started shinning, illuminating the room."Why did you help me?" She asked calmly."You didn't do it, it was obvious. I have more than 100 personalities in my body so it'd be odd if I don't detect foul plays" he replied."What do you mean?" She asked."How often do you read your family manual?" He asked."Everyday" she replied, and he scoffed."I doubt that"He faced the wall and glared at it, then some wordings appeared."FOR EVERY WHITEHEAD WITCH, HER FIRST KISS BELONGS TO HER DESTINED SOULMATE. SHE SHALL NOT GIVE IT TO JUST ANY MAN, FOR THE MAN IS BOUND TO GAIN AUTHORITY OVER HER, TILL DEATH""This is the only paragraph in page 60 of your manual. I read it just once and i assimilated everything, but you read it everyday and yet you don't know this? You're foolish" he said."I gave my first kiss to Superior Aragon" she muttered."Exactly my point! Your lips were black when you attacked me to transfer the orb to me, it was so obvious that you got orders from your soulmate, Aragon" he replied angrily."He didn't give me any order, I did it myself, I wanted to punish you" she said senselessly."I don't expect you to be in your right senses. He did a clean job and you probably won't believe anything I tell you about him till you get cleansed by your witchy juju spells" he replied."How did you get up though?" She asked."Don't ask me that, I don't wanna explain anything to you when you're still hooked with Aragon. I heard Sheila is missing" he replied."I didn't hear about it, where could she be" her eyes widened."You have to help me find her" he replied, and she blinked."How?"*PRESTIGE HALL*"Are you really gonna let Orion get away with what he did earlier? He disgraced your orders in front of all the disciples" chief Water said as he came in.Master Duran is standing in the middle of the open room, hands behind himself."That wasn't the first time he did it" he replied."But..."Orion is my son, and I'll take it if that's what I have to do to make up for what I did" Duran cut him off."What you did?" Chief Water asked, and he finally turned to face him."If I had just stayed alone after Kira died, then things wouldn't get so tough, but I went ahead to marry a human who gave birth to Astrid. If I hadn't done that, Astrid wouldn't have been born to die, and there'd be no reason for Orion's curse" Duran replied dryly."Astrid's human mother, where's she right now?" Chief Water asked."Her name is Rhea, and the last I heard is that she's in Berlin" Chief Feathers said, walking in."You're awake" Chief Water asked."Don't try what you tried last night anymore" Feathers replied sternly."It was for your own good, and Orion is fine now" Water replied."How? How did the orb get out without sunlight?" She asked."That's unimportant right now. Finding Kaitlyn is on top of the list" Master Duran spoke."We have to combine our energies at sunset in her room, we'd find her" Chief Feathers said."And Sheila?" Chief Water asked."This isn't the first time she left without goodbye" Master Duran replied.*CAFETERIA*Breakfast is currently on, and as promised, Krishna is on the same table with Ceres, eating with her while she kept staring."You should eat, staring at my face won't make you full" he spoke."That's a big lie. Your face is a whole meal" she replied."If you keep talking like this, then I'm leaving this table" he replied, and she quickly grabbed her spoon."I'll eat" she said.Ruthie is staring at them from her table, and she almost poured water in her food, but Peony held her hand."I know you have a crush on him but stop staring at him everytime, it doesn't seem like he's interested in any girl" she said."But she pecked me last night" Ruthie replied."And you think he likes you cos of that? Listen he has pecked me once too when we practiced together before you came here" Peony said."Huh?" Ruthie replied."Yeah, he's an American so he's like that with everybody. You better get over him" Peony said."I don't want to" Ruthie replied, fighting back her tears."Don't tell me you wanna cry" Peony said."It just hurts to see him with Ceres" Ruthie replied and finally started crying."Oh my gosh, you're crazy" Peony said."What's up!" Raven joined them"Raven!" Peony stood, and they kissed publicly."Why is she crying?" He asked."Take a guess" Peony replied, and Raven looked around."Oh... Krishna and my sister Ceres?""Exactly" Peony said."You should get over it, Ruthie. I've never seen Krishna in any relationship, he might be my friend but he's still so difficult to read" Raven replied, and Peony started wiping Ruthie's tears.Agatha is alone on her table, picking on her food slowly while thinking of what'd happen if Master Duran finds out about what actually happened to Kaitlyn.She suddenly saw Merlin and Echo holding hands under their table, and they smiled at each other as they ate."Disgusting" she muttered, leaving the cafeteria.*KRISHNA'S ROOM*Lissa is in the bathroom, standing beside the bathtub and staring at the water.She remembered what happened between Ceres and Krishna earlier, and she swallowed."I should stop getting my hopes high, there's no way he'd fall for me in my kid form, and even if he finds out that I'm Mali, he'd probably wanna kill me" she muttered and squatted beside the bathtub."I wish I could go back to my original form, I miss the river" she muttered sadly.*THE SMOKY HOUSE*The sun was already out when the men came back into the house.Sheila was sitting on the ground, backing the wall in serious hunger. She couldn't even stand without staggering."Now...shall we start your punishment before death?" One of the men said, and the window on the roof of the room was opened.Sun penetrated inside the room, burning her skin."Argghhhhh!!!!!!!!! Stop!!!!!! Stoopp it!!!!!!!! Stop!!!!!!!!!" She screamed out.Flames emanated from her body, and the burn got worse and worse as the sun got brighter."Stooopp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"*DEMON'S COVEN*"I can't communicate with Mali anymore. What is happening!" Bakasura yelled, and the snake in her shoulder crawled away immediately, unable to stand her fury."Did she transform back to her original form?" Karazi asked."To Mali?" Agares replied."Both Mali and Lisa, none is her original, you both know what her original form is like so stop playing dumb and find me solution to this! She must keep an eye on the one so losing connection with her means danger!" Bakasura yelled."Great queen!" Agares knelt."I think I might have a connection with one of the disciples" he said.Bakasura smiled ominously, and she hasn't replied when another person entered the coven, masked."Rock?" Bakasura said, and he removed his mask.Aragon!*STREETS OF DELOS*"I thought you said I'm gonna help you get Sheila, what are we doing here?" Samara asked when she got to Bathsheba's doorstep with Orion."I'm sure you didn't ask these unnecessary questions before kissing Aragon" he replied bluntly and pulled her in.They met Bathsheba in the the open room, burning incense like she does."Here for the cleansing spell for her first kiss?" She said."You must know something, so do something" Orion replied."Onion, what are you saying?" Samara asked."You didn't ask unnecessary questions like this from Aragon before the kiss" Orion replied."And why do you keep mentioning the kiss!" Samara shouted."I dunno! The voice in my head is telling me to get jealous and I'm just following it!" He shouted back, and her eyes widened."Tell me the cleansing spell for her lips" Orion faced Bathsheba."Kiss her till she becomes breathless, you can't break the kiss till she passes out, and it must be done on a full moon night" Bathsheba replied."Great" Orion said and took Samara's hand, leaving the place with her.They landed in the middle of the streets.He tried to sniff out Sheila, but he got nothing, then he changed into a vampire, and his eyes glowed."What are you doing?" Samara asked."Quiet" he replied and concentrated, calming his ears.All the noises in the city began entering his ear, and his eardrums nearly bursted.It's already getting dark, and noises comes worse this period.His eyes twitched when Sheila's voice suddenly entered his ear."Blood, I need some blood""She's trapped, I think" he said."Why?" Samara asked."Dunno, let's just find her first" he replied."How?""You're a witch, you should know" he replied, and she sighed before cutting a piece of her hair.She left it on her palm and closed her eyes, reciting a spell.The hair began floating, leading the way while they followed.It's a long walk till they got to the old smoky house."I smell her already" Orion said, locating the door immediately.He broke it down with his eyes, and it fell heavilyThey were met with six hefty humans, and Orion switched to his vampire form before grabbing the first one.He broke his neck in two, and when the second one charged forward, he shoved his hand into his tummy, bringing out his heart.He threw the heart at the wall, and his eyes glowed when the remaining four came at him again."Take care of them" he told Samara and sped in.The first one was able to give Samara a kick which sent her to the ground, but immediately she stood, She glared at them, and migraine stormed their heads.Her eyes were glowing gold as they started groaning in pains, holding their heads.*Orion met three others inside when he got in, and he smirked when he saw Sheila in the cell.The burns on her body is gone since it's dark already, but she looks too weak as a result of the insane hunger."Who's he?" One of the men said and was about to come out to him when Orion broke down the door with his eyes just like he did to the main door.He sped into the room and grabbed two of the men at once, twisting their necks easily.The remaining one fell fearfully, and Orion opened the cell with a kick.Sheila stood and sped to that one, grabbing him by the shoulders.She sank her fangs into his neck and drank as much as she wants from his blood before letting him go.He fell unconscious on the ground, and she wiped her lips ."That energized me" she said energetically and faced Orion."I knew you'd come for me, little brother" she smiled."Why were you captured so easily?" He asked."I was vervained, and they said I killed some people I have no idea about. Someone used my face, from the Institute obviously" she replied."Sheila!" Samara rushed in."Whoa , when did you two get this close?" Sheila said."You can handle the rest by yourself" Orion replied."What do you mean?" Sheila asked, and Orion took Samara's hand.Before she knew it, they teleported from there, landing in his room at the Institute.His backhand stars began shinning again, and she shifted back when he came close."What?" She asked in confusion."The moon is out now, I have to do the cleansing" he said bluntly, and her eyes widened when she remembered the old witch's wordsThe breathless kiss!Orion took a step closer, but she took two steps back."Wait!" She shouted.*Don't wait* the voice in Orion's head replied, and he kept going after her.Samara tried teleporting, and it worked, but instead of landing in her room, she landed on Orion's bed."No!" She gasped shockingly."Even better" Orion smiled creepily and teleported to her, pinning her hands down to the bed before bringing his lips down to hers...
