Everyone stood up with a gasp. 

Lamia's eyes widened watching as Natasha fell on the ground without moving. 

Eugene immediately rushed to the scene,he placed his hand on Natasha's tummy and the wound covered up,everyone let out a sigh of relief when Natasha opened her eyes. 

"Are you okay??" Winter asked,helping her up. Lamia grabbed Natasha's hand and dragged her away,everyone looked at them in confusion. 

"Damon!" Master River shouted and everyone kept quiet,Damon stood up. 

"You violated the rule!" 

"I was..."

"You're banned from every activities for three days and aside that,you will be punished greatly" Master Liam cut in. 

"You deserve it,you seriously want to hurt him? So lame" Eugene scoffed and walked away. 

"That will be the end of today's duel,let's meet tomorrow morning" Master Liam said and walked away,Master River and Lilith followed. 

Everyone left,leaving just Chase and Damon. 

"Are you okay... "

"I want to be alone" Damon snapped and left.

"Lamia!" Natasha screamed as Lamia dragged her.

"You're hurting me!" She shouted and he released her hand angrily before facing her. 

"Are you....angry with....."

"Who sent you" Lamia cut in and she raised her brows. 

"Can you just stop meddling in my business? Is it hard for you to do that?? You almost died..."

"I wouldn't Have died" Natasha scoffed. 

"I wouldn't have died either!" Lamia snapped and she frowned. 

"Now what,are you expecting a thank you from me! Should I hug and kiss you for saving my life when I don't send you to do such sh*t for me? Is that what you want? Huh?" 

"You're hurting my feelings,I was just worried....."

"Worry about your life alone and stay away from me" Lamia muttered and made to leave but Natasha grabbed his hand. She checked his wounds and found them gone. 

"Why were you bleeding? You got me scared....."

"I knew all along what he was planning,I allowed my blood to come out too,I know the f**k i am doing,so stop it and stay away" Lamia muttered and walked away. 

Natasha bite her lips,staring at his back. 

Winter appeared at that moment,she rushed closer when she saw Natasha. 

"Hey,are you okay?" She asked and Natasha nodded. 

"You should be careful,it's a relief we have Eugene anyway" Winter said. 

"I wonder why you're nice to me when your sister and I don't get along" Natasha said,walking toward her room,Winter followed her. 

"You're just like her,smart,pretty,brave,that's why I like you" Winter smiled. 

Natasha nodded. 

"You don't look happy,wanna have some fun?" Winter asked. 

"What fun?" Natasha asked. 

"Trust me,let's go" Winter grabbed her hand and took her away.

PASSWAY**

Lamia let out a sigh as he sat down gently,he was almost regretting shouting at Natasha but she need to learn how to mind her business and stay away when necessary. 

"Are you okay?" Heaven's voice asked and Lamia turned immediately to see her sitting. 

"When did you get here?" He asked. 

"I was here,you just didn't notice" Heaven replied. 

Lamia sighed and looked away.

"I want to be alone" He muttered and made to get home. 

"Are you angry with me?" Heaven asked. 

"I'm not angry with you but myself" Lamia muttered and sat down back. 

"Why? You didn't do anything wrong" Heaven stated. 

Lamia bite his lip and turned his face to Heaven. 

"It's late,let's leave here" he stood up and held her hand. 

"I want to tell you something" Heaven spluttered as she got up. 

"What is it?" Lamia raised his brows. 

"Actually...the truth is...even though I am blind,I get to find my way,I've been lying to you because I just.....want to stay with you" Heaven murmured and took her lip in. 

Lamia kept quiet and released her hand. 

"I'm sorry" she held his hand again immediately. 

"You should go on and rest,it's late" Lamia stated and she nodded. 

"I will walk you to your room" He added,which made Heaven smile. They both left the Passway together.

RIVERSIDE**

"Wow,wait,I never knew there's a river here" Natasha said and immediately rushed closer.

"Whoa" She got rid of her sneakers. 

"Don't tell me you're planning to get inside" Winter made a cheesy grin. 

"What else? Why did you bring me here?" Natasha asked,also taking off her socks. 

"I found this place yesterday and I decided to just bring you here..... Nat!" Winter screamed when Natasha took off her clothes. 

"This will Make me feel better" She winked and dived into the water at once.

"Ohhh!!!!!" She screamed excitedly. 

"What the f**k" Winter chuckled. 

"Come in" Natasha said. 

"The water is definitely going to freeze when I enter" Winter crossed her arms. 

"I don't get cold easily" Natasha said and Winter smiled,she also got rid of everything leaving her underwear before jumping inside. 

"Fun!!!!!" She screamed. 

"Can you make some ice?? The other side,not here" Natasha asked,looking at the other side of the flowing river. 

"Of course" Winter smiled,just by gazing alone,the flowing water froze and then turned to ice. 

"Done" She said proudly. 

"Great,now my turn" Natasha said,opening her palms. 

"I can use my eyes to do this tho,but my hands seems to be idle these days" She said and stretched out her hand to the ice and the ice broke into pieces. 

"Whoa!!!!" Winter screamed as the ice broke and splashed the water over them. 

"That was satisfying" Natasha smirked and dived her head into the water,Winter also did the same. They both came out at a time,breathing heavily. 

"That was amazing" Winter said,smiling at Natasha. 

Natasha swam to the edge and got out of the water before sitting down,Winter joined her,their hair dripping wet. There was silence for a while before Natasha broke it. 

"Are you sure you really want to be nice to me?" Natasha said. 

"I like you" Winter mumbled. 

"That's new,people hardly like me and I'm cool with it" Natasha said. 

Winter bite her lips. 

"I should go,I need to sleep after. It was fun being with you" Natasha stood up and picked her clothes on the ground. 

"Are you walking that way...."

"No" Natasha winked and vanished making Winter flinch.

"Why am I not used to that?" She muttered and started putting on her clothes back. After that she left for her room.

NEXT MORNING**

Lamia stepped into the training hall and found only Ruben inside,he was hitting the punching bag with his fists,the steps made Ruben turn and their eyes met. He turned back from Lamia instantly. Lamia walked closer to him and sat down on the available seat,Ruben didn't bother looking at him as he continue punching the bag. 

"Why did you do that?" Lamia asked in a soft voice.

Ruben stopped and faced him. 

"What are you talking about?" He asked. 

"You made a deal with Damon....."

"So why asking when you know already? I never knew he was planning to hurt you" Ruben said. 

"Are you his pet or something??" Lamia asked and Ruben frowned. 

"What?....."

"Why would you throw Away your chance of winning just because of a silly deal with Damon? Does that make any sense to you??" Lamia asked. 

"Are you trying to pick a fight with me right now?" Ruben asked. 

"No,coz I hate fighting and making silly deals with people,that's dumb dude" Lamia said. 

Ruben grabbed his collar and pulled him up with one hand. 

"You're making me mad" Ruben said angrily but Lamia maintained his cold face,looking at Ruben straight in the eyes. 

"You should have used this same energy to decline when Damon brought up that silly deal" he said. 

"Hey!!!" Ruben made to punch him but someone held his hand from the back. 

"He doesn't like fighting,but I do" Eugene muttered. 

Ruben let go of Lamia who was still looking at him blankly,Eugene also released him. 

"Stay away from me" Ruben warned and kicked something on the way before storming out of the hall. 

"You okay?" Eugene asked. 

Lamia adjusted his shirt properly. 

"You don't have to do that next time" He muttered and Eugene rolled his eyes with a sigh. 

"Not this again,do you enjoy staying alone? Even if you do,what about people who want to be friends with you? You should at least try to be less cold and show some warmness at least,you did the same to Natasha...." Lamia looked at him and he stopped talking. 

"I still like you okay? But you're so cold that I get scared of your quietness sometimes,are you a deity or something? Is there a particular food you like so I can give you to make you smile at least?" Eugene asked. 

Lamia ignored him and started leaving.

"Hey wait up!" Eugene ran after him. 

**

Natasha stepped out of her room while trying to pack her hair,someone suddenly bumped into her. 

"Oh sorry" The voice said and Natasha frowned when she saw Heaven in her usual white stainless robe and her blindfold. 

"Seriously?" Natasha glared at her. 

"Natasha?" Heaven called.

Natasha released her hair. 

"I hate the way you call my name so softly trying so hard to be nice" She said. 

"What are you talking about?" Heaven asked. 

"Even if you're pretending with everyone else,shouldn't I be an exception? You can't make me like you with your pity strategy just because you're blind,I see you're making Lamia like you,good for you he's really into you and your pretence...." 

"Who said I'm pretending? I just apologized because I bumped into you,you're hurting me" Heaven said tearfully and Natasha scoffed. 

"Nobody is here dear Heaven,I'm not someone you can do that for,I'm a witch and you are a sorcerer,so stop this sh*t you are doing" Natasha said. 

Heaven was beginning to cry. 

"You are really a witch" She muttered. 

"I'm not hiding that" Natasha smirked and moved closer to her,Heaven shifted back,Natasha moved closer again.

"Natasha" Lamia called from the back and Natasha turned. 

"What do you think you're doing?" Lamia glared at her and went straight to Heaven,tears was rolling down her eyes. Lamia looked at Natasha. 

"What did you do to her?" He asked. 

"Like I owe you an explanation,why don't you just kiss her pain away?" Natasha hissed and walked away. 

Lamia turned back to Heaven. 

"What did she....." He stopped when Heaven hugged him tightly.

 He signed and hug her.
