“Yeah. I only have to touch your n**ple, so don’t waste much time. Off your blouse, I’ll take off your brà myself” he replied.

Samara was dumbstruck as she stared at him for a minute, and in the next minute, she laughed out loud, leaning on the wall so she wouldn’t fall.

Orion frowned immediately, and a drop of blood fell from his arm.

“Yunno you might be a Superior, but sometimes I wonder if you really think at all. Touch my n**ple to make me bleed? Forget it if you can’t wait till my next cycle” she replied, and he sped to her, but before he could grab her, she changed positions and sped to his own former position beside the bed.

Her eyes widened immediately, and she looked up.

“You saw that, right? I just sped! I sped!” She said happily and tried it again.

In the next minute, she’s at the bathroom door.

“Yes! I sped!!!” She shouted, and Orion vanished immediately.

Peony and Ruthie rushed in.

“What’s up?” Ruthie asked, and Peony blinked.

Samara sped from the bathroom door to their middle, and their eyes widened.

“You speed now?” Peony said surprisingly.

“I got it just now!” Samara replied and began jumping happily.

“I’m happy for you! You’re slowly getting your abilities I can’t wait for you to get it all” Ruthie said.

“All? Are they that many?” Peony asked.

“According to legend, whitehead witches have the most numerous abilities of all witches” Ruthie replied.

“I can see through doors, that’s the only one I’ve got” Peony said.

“My spitfire is the only one I’ve got too” Ruthie replied.

“I’ve only detected this speed and the immeasurable energy I felt before cutting off the demon’s head the other time” Samara said.

“You might really be more powerful that we think. Even Superior Aragon couldn’t defeat the demon but you did” Peony said.

“That’s how I do it” Samara replied, flaunting her hair.

They all laughed and fell on the bed together.

ORION’S ROOM*

Landing back, Orion held his arm tightly, squeezing his face as he walked to the bed.

The pains increased so much, and it’s eating deep into his bones.

“I’m not joking, Bree. You and your daughter are dying in my hands once I get this done with” he said, sweating as he sat on the bed, taking off his shirt.

He stretched his second hand to the table beside his bed where several bottles of blood are sitting.

Cat’s blood
Puppy blood
Mouse blood
Deer blood

The bottles were labelled like that. He picked the puppy blood bottle and opened it, drinking directly from it.

The blood stained his lips badly as he drank, and when he took it away from his lips, he already got more energetic than before, but the pains still persist on his arm.

“f-__-k!”

Immediately he cursed under his breath, the door opened on its own with great force, and the lights came on automatically, revealing Chief Feathers.

“Why are you here?” He asked, and she smiled.

“Respect isn’t part of your lifestyle and will never be”

“Why are you here? Feathers” he repeated more rigidly.

“Why suffering in pains when you can take the pains away yourself?” She replied, and he stood.

“The moment I cut off the arm myself with my sword, I’m losing close to two years of my power cultivation, I can’t risk it” he replied, and a sword appeared on Chief Feathers palm immediately.

Before he could move, she swung it once, slicing through his arm with it.

The wounded arm fell on the ground, but another one grew out of the same spot, replacing it.

The fallen arm turned to ashes, and the ashes dissipated.

Chief Feathers felt weak immediately, and blood came out of the corner of her mouth as she staggered.

“Why did you do it?’ Orion asked.

“I’m an immortal, so it’d have only a mild effect on me. I only have to rest for two days and I’d be back to shape” she replied, holding her chest.

“You have a class to handle tommorow” he said, and she stood straight.

“Water will handle it” she said, smiled at him again and vanished.

Orion looked at the new arm and sighed, nodding once.

“Shall I try the boundary tommorow?”

*

NEXT MORNING*

Merlin entered Echo’s room and met her in her robe already. She just finished dressing up and is about to head out for class.

She ignored him like no one entered, grabbing her favorite scent bag before trying to leave.

“Hey, why the attitude?” Merlin blocked her.

“Out of my way” she glared.

“Are you mad at me? I did nothing wrong” he said.

“Yes you did nothing wrong, but I’m not in the mood to talk to you this morning so get lost” she pushed him out of the way and walked out of the room.

“Echo!” Merlin ran after her, but immediately he came out, he met Kaitlyn on the corridor.

“Hey Merlin!” She rushed to him.

Echo looked back, and when she saw them together, she scoffed and continued her walk to class.

“Echo!” Merlin made to go after her again, but Kaitlyn pulled him back.

“I think she wants to be alone, come let’s go to class together” she said.

“She’s my bestie, Kaitlyn. You don’t get to dictate” he replied and left her, going after Echo again.

Kaitlyn bit her lip hard till it bled.

She licked the blood that came out and smiled.

“Merlin! Let’s go to class together!” She shouted with a different tone, and Merlin came back immediately.

“Sure, let’s go” he said, and she held his hand, interlocking it with hers before taking him away.

*

“Raven!” Peony called immediately she sighed him at the hallway, and he turned.

“Hey purple witch!” He smiled, and she walked fast to him.

“How do I look? You know they say Chief Feathers complain about dresses in her class a lot, I don’t want to get on her bad side” she said.

“You look hot” he replied, and she made to peck him, but he shifted back

“C’mon, no one is watching” she said, and he looked around before leaving back in.

Peony’s eyes widened when he kissed her directly on the lips, and he flashed a cute smile before leaving.

Peony stood frozen like a statue till Samara nudged her from behind.

“I saw that, how was it?” She asked.

“Was hot! Gosh! That was my first kiss!” Peony gushed

“Haven’t had mine, and I’m hoping to have it with Superior Aragon” Samara replied.

“I’m so happy!” Peony gushed.

“What’s up?” Ruthie joined them.

“She got kissed by Raven, legendary first kiss” Samara replied.

“That’s mad!” Ruthie jumped.

“I know, right? His lips were so soft” Peony said.

“Oh please” Samara laughed with Ruthie as they made their ways to class.

*

“I saw you kissing that purple witch” Ceres suddenly blocked Raven.

“And now you’re here to beat me?” He replied.

“You have a girlfriend at home Raven. We both know how dangerous Zara can be. That ?îtçh is a vampire” Ceres said.

“We broke up” Raven replied.

“You’re the only one who broke up with her, she’s still obsessed with you! She’d ki|| Peony without thinking twice” Ceres said.

“You’re not saying this because you care about Peony. You’re scared Zara might come here, right?” He replied, and he smirked.

“Just stop being obvious. I can take care of myself” he said and walked away.

*

LECTURE HALL*

It’s already so full of disciples when Samara came in with Ruthie and Peony, and it’s noisy cos the Chief is not here.

“I haven’t seen Krishna” Ruthie said, searching the hall for him.

“He’s not coming” Raven replied behind her.

“What! It’s a class Raven, and there’s a penalty for missing it”

“He’s ready to pay the penalty. I dunno why, he said he wanted to tour the streets this morning” Raven replied, and Ruthie went sad immediately.

Meaning she won’t be seeing his face throughout the class. It’d be so boring.

“Girls!” Echo joined them

“Strange, you’re not with Merlin?” Peony said.

“Seems Merlin got himself another girl” Samara replied, and they all saw Merlin chatting with Kaitlyn immediately. They’re sitting together.

“Sad, guys are jerks” Ruthie said.

“Not all of them” Raven replied.

“Yes, except Superior Aragon and Krishna” Ruthie replied, and they laughed.

“Let’s find seats before Chief Feathers arrive with her sternness” Echo said, and luckily, they all found seats in one angle in the midst of numerous disciples.

Aragon came into the hall immediately, and the attention of the girls shifted to him.

“He’s so hot” Echo said.

“Who?” Samara asked, and she gestured at the front.

“I know, right? So ?ëx¥” Samara replied, and his eyes suddenly met with hers.

“Samara! Come with me” he said loudly, and silence happened as Samara stood.

“Sure, Superior!” She replied dramatically, and the girls laughed as she flipped her hair before following him.

99 percent of the girls were strangling her with their eyes, and she almost fell as she walked, but she held herself till she went out.

“If Agatha sees this, she’d probably die” Ruthie laughed.

“Wait is she back from the Beastly Territory?” Peony asked.

“She came back by dawn, she’s currently healing” Raven replied.

“Let’s hope she changes” Echo said.

“Change? Agatha? So not compatible” Ruthie said.

Ceres suddenly stood.

“I’m touring the streets too, I’ll take the penalty” she said and walked out of the hall.

“That psycho” Raven muttered, and Peony suddenly held his hand under the table.

He faced her, and they smiled at each other.

*

OUTSIDE THE HALL*

“You forgot this in my room last night” Aragon said, raising up the cross necklace.

“f-__-k! It must have fallen off my neck I’m so careless! What if Orion ki||ed me last night! I’d have died!” She shouted as she took it from him.

“He came to your room? Did he do something mad again? Are you ok?” He started checking her out, and she smiled.

“I’m fine Superior Luckily i activated my super speed last night so I sped away when he tried to reach me” she said, and he inhaled in relief.

“I’m glad”

“Thanks for keeping this” she said, raising the necklace.

She tried wearing it, but it was hard, so he got behind her and swept her hair up, dropping it on her shoulder before taking the necklace from her.

He fixed it for her, and she smiled before facing him.

“Thanks Superior”

“Be careful” he returned the smile, and she blew him a air kiss before rushing back into the hall.

Aragon smiled again as he walked away.

*

STREETS OF DELOS*

“Why do you love breaking rules so much? You’re gonna get punished if you don’t attend the class” Cat said as Krishna walked the crowdy street.

She’s sitting on Krishna’s shoulder comfortably.

“If you’re gonna keep complaining, then go back to the Institute” he replied, and Cat hissed, then he continued his walk

The Institute felt stuffy immediately he woke, and that’s why he decided to take a walk, and it’s working.

“I want some pancakes” Cat said again.

“You’re a handful” Krishna sighed, branching at a pancake stall to get some.

He was still buying when he noticed a young girl squatting beside the stall, looking so unkept and dirty, even her hair.

Cat meowed on his shoulder, and he walked to the kid, crouching in front of her.

“Hey, what are you doing here?” He asked, and she looked up. She’s crying.

“I dunno” she muttered.

“Where are your parents?” He asked.

“I dunno, I don’t have a house” she replied, and he frowned.

“What’s your name?” He asked.

“I don’t have one” she replied.

“She has been crying for free pancakes since I started selling, dunno where she’s from and she even looks dirty! Can’t risk it I don’t wanna contact diseases” the seller said, giving Krishna the pancakes he bought.

He took it and gave it to the girl.

“You can have it”

“Thanks” she replied.

“Aww, good Samaritan” Ceres’s voice said behind, and he turned.

“What are you doing here?”

“Raven said you came out, so I traced you. You’re the only wind controller in this market so it was easy. Air is blowing more in this angle” she winked and walked to the kid. She’s already eating the pancakes.

“You don’t have a name? How about Lissa?” She said, and the kid nodded.

“Lissa is it, let’s take her to the Institute” Ceres said, carrying her.

“You’re so heavy!” She grunted, and Lissa smiled.

Ceres led the way with her, and Krishna scoffed behind.

She’s not doing this cos she’s nice, she’s only acting nice cos she wants to get on his good side which he’s never gonna fall for.

He got another pancake for Cat before following her.

*

INSTITUTE, LECTURE HALL*

Chief Water finally arrived, and silence happened in the hall.

“Master Duran said it’s Chief Feathers!” Kaitlyn shouted.

“She’s in retreat as we speak, so I’m taking over” Water replied

👥 Yes!

👥 I like Chief Water better!

👥 Me too!

“How many abilities are there in the supernatural world?” Chief Water asked, starting the class immediately.

“Over a million according to legend” Raven replied.

“To mention a few?” Chief Water said.

“Wind controllers like Krishna” Ruthie said.

“Spitfire like Ruthie” Peony said.

“Clairvoyance like Peony. That ?îtçh can see through walls and closed doors” Ceres said.

“She’s crossing the line” Peony muttered.

“Calm down” Ruthie replied.

“Appearance stealing” Raven said.

“That’s not the real name” Chief Water replied.

“Shape shifting” Samara said.

“Anyone with that ability here?” Chief Water said.

“Raven I swear I’ma ki|| you if you mention my name” Ceres muttered.

“You’re a shape shifter, why hiding it?” He replied.

“Same way you’re hiding your powers” she muttered, and he scoffed.

“Time controllers like Agatha” another student said.

“Witches, wizards, werewolves and vampires, though they’re personalities, not abilities” Samara said.

“Mages, monks and warlocks too” Ruthie said.

“Good. And how many spells are there? There’s a specific number, and anyone who gets it right will get power trainings from me for an hour” Water said.

Samara stood to quickly answer, but then it happened.

Orion appeared in the hall right beside her, and he grabbed her hand, vanishing with her immediately. It was so fast.

“Sam!!!” Ruthie shouted.

Chief Water rushed to the spot they vanished from, but not even a single clue is left.

“Call Duran” he ordered, and Ruthie rushed out with Peony.

*

Orion landed in a scary wilderness with Samara, and her eyes widened when she saw the creepy looking trees around, they’re all dry and leafless, and the surroundings look lifeless as a whole.

“Where are we? What did you bring me here to do I was enjoying the class!!!” She shouted fearfully.

“To ki|| you” he replied.

“What!”

“This is the boundary between the heavens and Earth. I bet you can’t escape death here as a witch if you get stabbed. Not even your necklace can help” he replied, and she quickly stepped back.

Her sword appeared on her palm, and that was when she noticed his arm is fine already.

“Your…arm… how did…

“I’m a rare breed, witch” he replied, and his sword appeared too.

He charged to her immediately, and Samara blocked him with her sword, so their swords clashed, and sparks flew out of the collision.

“I dunno why you h@?? me this much, but you must be a fool if you think your pains will end after ki||ing me” she said, and his claws grew.

He angrily shoved them into her stomach, wounding her deeply.

She fell on the ground, and the sword fell from her as she bled.

“Ahhh!!” She groaned, holding the bloody tummy.

“Get up, we’re just starting” he said, and almost immediately, his eyes turned red, and his six clones came out of him, so right now, there are seven Orions.

“Stand!!” He thundered, and Samara struggled to her feet after grabbing her sword.

Surprisingly, the wound didn’t heal cos of the environment, so her blood kept draining.

“You’d… regret this” she mumbled and held her sword tighter, turning around to make a sharp sword wield.

Her hair flew with the air in the process, and the sword mistakenly made contact with it, cutting a part of it.

Immediately that happened, Orion’s clones returned inside him without his permission, and he was still wondering why when Samara’s piece of white hair transformed into a powdery substance in the air.

Instantly after Orion inhaled the powdery air, all the bones in his body caught fire inside, and body ache gripped him madly tight.

“Arggggghhh!!!! Ah! AHHHH!!!” He yelled, his eyes becoming redder as he was forced to go on his knees as the pains got insane.

He began bleeding black blood from all-over his face, and Samara inhaled, going closer to him with her sword.

“And I repeat, you’re a fool if you think your pains will end after ki||ing me. Big fool!” She spat, and without waiting, she drove her sword into his chest.

“Arggggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!”

TBC.
