NATASHA’S ROOM**
Oakley coughed as she woke up and opened her eyes to see three girls staring back at her. Natasha,Summer and Winter.
“She’s finally back” Summer sighed.
“I think we need a private herb shop to start selling Lamia’s blood” Winter said.
“I was thinking that” Summer said and they laughed, aside Natasha.
Oakley sat up,her eyes still on Natasha who was also looking at her.
“Where’s Lamia?” Oakley asked.
“Why do you want to see him? You don’t even care if you’re okay now? You suddenly started poking out blood and almost died,is he that important to you?” Natasha asked.
“I want to say thank you to him” Oakley said.
“Not like he got lost,he will be here soon” Natasha rolled her eyes and Oakley chuckled.
“You don’t have to be jealous,we are just friends…it’s weird how we became one though” Oakley said.
“Who said I’m jealous?” Natasha scoffed and Oakley faced the others
“I’m Oakley” She said.
“Oh,we are twins. I’m Winter and she’s Summer”
“Fire and Ice” Oakley smiled.
“You’re smart” Winter said.
“This is my room anyway” Natasha said and Oakley nodded.
“Should I Leave?” He asked.
“I’m not a bad person” Natasha said.
“Don’t mind her,she act that way if she’s not familiar with you,she’s a sweet soul” Winter told Oakley and She nodded.
“What’s your power though?” Summer asked.
“I’m a witch…but…I’ve used my powers in the dark world since I’ve discovered it” Oakley muttered.
“Natasha is one too” Winter said excitedly and Oakley looked at Natasha but she looked away.
“I hope the goddess accept you here anyway” Winter said.
“That’s right” Oakley mumbled.

ARTEMIS’S OFFICE**
“What do you mean by you want me to let her stay here?” Artemis frowned.
“Come on granny,I just explained what happened to you. She almost got killed” Lamia said.
“She belong to the dark realm….”
“But she’s different from them,please I’m begging you” Lamia pleaded.
“Why are you even begging? You brought her here without thinking if I want her or not” Artemis said
“Fine I’m sorry” Lamia muttered.
“Only on one condition” Artemis said and Lamia nodded for her to continue.
“You will take full responsibility if anything happens or she’s a spy” Artemis said.
“Don’t worry,I trust Oakley and if it turns out bad,I will take full responsibility” Lamia said and Artemis nodded.
“Then good,do what you want” she said.
“Thank you granny” Lamia smiled.
“When did you ever smile at me? She must be important to you,don’t let your mate notice” Artemis said.
“They will be friends,I can feel it” Lamia smiled.
Artemis rolled his eyes.
“Stop bribing me with your smile and leave” She said.
“We both know you love it when I smile” Lamia stood up and left the office.
“That child” Artemis muttered and then smiled.
“How was it?” Eugene asked as soon as Lamia came out,he was waiting for him.
“She gave me her permission” Lamia said and Eugene sighed out.
“I think she woke up already” Lamia said.
“Let’s go see her” Eugene said and Lamia looked at him.
“It’s not what you’re thinking” Eugene grinned and Lamia chuckled.
They both went to Natasha’s room and girls turned to them.
“Lamia” Oakley called.
“You wanted to tell me something” Lamia sat down beside her.
Oakley nodded,Eugene also sat down beside Summer and they both kept quiet to listen to Oakley.
“I….somehow found out that..the shadows I told you about…”
Lamia nodded and she continued.
“Just started working with someone here in your realm” Oakley said and they all gave her a confused look.
“What are you talking about? You mean we have a spy here? Like a traitor?” Natasha asked.
“She’s probably the one who tried killing me the moment I wanted to talk” Oakley said and Lamia frowned.
“There’s only one person who can use her power that way here” he said.
“Heaven” Natasha and Eugene said at once.
“That’s right,she’s the one” Oakley nodded.
“That’s not possible” Summer said.
Lamia fold his fist angrily but spoke up
“I won’t believe it….unless she act on it right in front of me” He muttered.
“I don’t want to believe either” Natasha said.
“Why? That girl once tried to kill you,are you a learner?” Winter scoffed
“But still….she won’t wanna betray here,do you even know what working with the dark realm means? If we don’t discover more earlier,we all are in trouble,Including her,so why would she do something so risky?” Natasha asked.
“I don’t like the way you’re defending her” Eugene said and Natasha sighed.
“Don’t worry,I will expose her soon,she can’t ever escape it now that I am here” Oakley smirked.
“Get some rest first,I will get you a room tomorrow” Lamia said and Oakley nodded.
“Let’s go to my suite” He faced Natasha and she nodded.
*****
NEXT DAY**
Heaven was walking beside Maleficent that moment but Maleficent was in her invisible state so anyone would only see Heaven alone without Magnificent.
“What do you mean by there’s a new girl in the villa?” Maleficent asked.
“She’s from the dark realm and I think she knows what you are planning,I tried killing her but Lamia saved her as expected” Heaven said.
“Our target is Natasha” Maleficent said and Heaven nodded.
All of a sudden,Oakley appeared in front of them and smirked.
“You’ve got such great boldness” Oakley said and Heaven frowned.
Oakley touched Maleficent and she became visible.
“What the f**k!”
Other students came out immediately with shock written over their faces.
“Heaven…..who is she?” Speedy asked.
“As you can see…her name is Maleficent,leader of the darkest world,the shadows” Oakley told them and they gasped.
“So what? Why are you all acting surprised?! None of you wanted me anyway,that’s why I decided, and there’s nothing you can do about it” Heaven said.
Everyone was in shock.
Natasha and Eugene appeared.
“Really?” Eugene asked walking toward them
“I didn’t know this type of opportunity will come so soon ” Maleficent smirked at Heaven and glared at Eugene,immediately he was swept off his feet and thrown off.
“Eugene!” Summer and Natasha screamed but before he could fall,Lamia appeared behind him and held him to balance.
Lamia gave Maleficent an angry glare and sped over to her.
“Who do you think you are to come here freely anytime you want?” He asked.
“Why don’t you ask your dear student?” Maleficent smirked.
Lamia grabbed her neck,ignoring what she said.
“I’m here for your mate,but it’s a pity you always protect her too bad” Maleficent said and everyone gasped.
“Are you saying…..it was you who poisoned her.” Lamia asked.
“No” Maleficent smiled.
“I’m the one” Heaven said and Lamia could feel something hit him hard in his heart
“Are you crazy?!!” Chase yelled angrily trying to rush to Heaven,Heaven stretched her hand toward him and twisted his neck with his eyes,he fell roughly on the floor lifelessly.
“Chase!!!” Everyone screamed and rushed to him.
Maleficent smirked,staring at Lamia’s weak hand and she vanished.
“Heaven” Speedy called in surprise as they all looked at her in total shock.
“Don’t doubt,she’s saying the truth” Sadie said,handing her drawing book to Lamia.
It was showing how Heaven had poisoned Natasha and once again,everyone gasped.
“Everyone,that’s enough” Lamia muttered and they all moved back,Damon and Ruben already carried Chase away.
Lamia faced Heaven,his eyes already turned green as he was looking at her with every anger within him but still he was trying so hard to control it.
“I warned you” He said.
“Who do you think you are to warn me?” Heaven asked.
“Did you really…..in your right state of damn mind just betrayed the light realm?!!” Lamia yelled angrily.
“No……I didn’t just betray the light realm,I’m not going to stop until I kill her” Heaven said,looking at Natasha and that made Lamia’s blood boil even more.
“How dare you?” He asked.
“You made me this way!!! You did!!” Heaven yelled.
Lamia grabbed her neck and just a light throw from him,she hit her back on the pillar hardly,Lamia sped over to her before she could fall,Heaven coughs out blood in pain. He grabbed her neck again,his claws already came out.
“How…..dare…..you” He stuttered,his hand shaking,it was anger not anything else but anger,all he could think of that moment was how Natasha vomited blood and to think it’s all because of this person he was holding.
Heaven tried using her power to free herself as his grip kept getting tighter but her power didn’t even work on Lamia.
“You must have gone crazy to think you can ever fight against me Heaven” Lamia said and chuckled.
“I’m not the devil’s son for nothing,you shouldn’t have done that Heaven,I told you I’m not the same Lamia you used to know” Lamia muttered,adding more pressure. Heaven coughed out more blood.
“Lamia……”
“Don’t beg me!!!!” Lamia yelled at Natasha who tried calling him and everyone was quiet.
“I told you……there will be no mercy…the only judgment for trying to kill my mate….Is Death” Lamia muttered.
He shoved his claws into her eyes,everyone gasped.
“Ahhhh!!!!!!!!” Heaven screamed out agonizingly
“Lamia!!” Natasha screamed in tears as he was about doing more.
“Eugene take her away!!” Lamia growled.
“Leave me alone!!! Let me go!!!!” Natasha screamed as Eugene carried her out from the scene.
Lamia took Heaven’s eyes in his palm and burnt it with his eyes.
“I regret all the moment we spent together,and mostly I regret giving you this eyes” He muttered as Heaven fell on the ground with blood covering her eyes and face.
She was screaming in pain but Lamia didn’t care,ocean of blood kept rolling down her eyes but Lamia wasn’t satisfied yet.
“Come here,I’m done yet” He grabbed her and pulled her up with one hand.
“Lamia….that’s enough” Artemis appeared.
“No,,I’m not going back to my word,but I will keep her alive for now,she need to feel pains or my body won’t be at rest” Lamia muttered and snapped his fingers,Heaven disappeared and everyone looked at Lamia.
“Don’t worry too much,she will be welcome by some devils like her” Lamia muttered remorselessly and walked away.
“You!!!!!!” Cat-Girl screamed in tears rushing after Lamia with knife in her hand.
Summer appeared in front of her and set her on fire,a very special one ,she turned to ashes within a second.
“Traitors only deserve death” She muttered and looked at Artemis.
“What’s my punishment? I just killed her” Summer said coldly.
