“What’s my punishment? I just killed her” Summer said coldly.
Everyone kept quiet waiting for Artemis to speak up.
“Clean up the ashes” Artemis muttered and walked away.
“I will help with that” Winter said and Summer nodded.
Everyone started leaving one after the other whispering and discussing what just happened among themselves.
“I don’t think we should mess with Lamia again,his angry side is scary” Speedy muttered.
“Lamia doesn’t hurt people anyhow,Heaven deserves everything” Sadie said.
“Lamia is the most honest person I know,so as long as you don’t have anything bad against us,he wouldn’t even look at you” Thatcher said and Speedy nodded.
“But still…I can’t believe Heaven would have done that,and then Cat-Girl wanted to kill Lamia? Is she crazy?” Skylar scoffed.
“Summer was actually faster than me,I wanted to crack her bones” Thatcher said and they chuckled.

NATASHA’S ROOM**
Natasha was sitting down on her bed lost In thoughts,Eugene was also leaning on the door,his eyes on her.
“Hey” he finally Called and Natasha raises her head up with a frown.
“Are you still angry?” Eugene asked.
Natasha rolled her eyes and ignored him.
“I’m sorry,I was just……” He stopped when a knock came on.
The door opened and Lamia entered,he faced Eugene
“You can go” he muttered and Eugene walked out,Lamia closed the door and Natasha stood up.
“What was that for? Why would you tell Eugene to…..”
“Because you were disturbing me” Lamia cut in.
“Disturbing? You wanted to kill her…….”
“Tell me if she doesn’t deserve death!!” Lamia said angrily.
“I f**king hate this side of you and it’s crawling over my body,what the hell is wrong with you? I already told you never to try stopping me,let me do what I want,I can’t control it when I’m angry and I don’t even want to control it when it comes to traitors like that bitch,I want to kill her badly but not so easy” Lamia said.
“You don’t understand me do you? What if everyone thinks I’m the reason why you’re like this? I……”
“Why are you talking like a dummy right now? So you expected me to spare her even after she confessed that she poisoned you? Not just you! She tried killing Oakley! Chase is lying down lifelessly there also and you still have the mouth to say this…..gosh you’re making me mad already” Lamia roughed his hair and exhaled.
“I just thought,taking her eyes…..was too much” Natasha muttered.
“No,if she was still blind then these things wouldn’t have happened,it’s all my fault from the start,I shouldn’t have been nice to her,I shouldn’t have taken her as my friend,but I guess I’ve learnt my lesson” Lamia said.
“Then what about Oakley?” Natasha asked.
“Oakley and Heaven are two different people” Lamia said.
“In what way? She woke up calling your name first…..”
“Tasha stop,Oakley doesn’t have such feelings for me okay?…..”
“It’s annoying” Natasha scoffed.
“Try to be friends with her then” Lamia said.
“Why should I be the one trying? You’re so annoying right now you know?” Natasha sat on the bed and Lamia sighed.
“I don’t think you should be among the ones making me mad coz it’s exhausting shouting at you,I’m sorry” Lamia muttered.
Natasha rolled her eyes without looking at him.
Lamia bent in front of her and touched her cheek.
“Hey,I said I am sorry,should I kneel down now?” He asked.
“Well,you should get rid of those blood on your body” Natasha muttered.
“Wanna go with me?” Lamia smirked.
“Stop whatever you’re thinking cuz I’m not in the mood” Natasha scoffed.
“Fine” Lamia muttered and stood up.
“Just like that?” Natasha frowned.
“You know I don’t like forcing….”
“You’re annoying”
Lamia laughed and carried her in a bridal style
“Drop me..”
“You know I love you more than anything” Lamia kissed her lips and she smiled.
“Let’s go take a shower together” Natasha whispered.

PASSAGE WAY**
Oakley was sitting alone,somehow she was lost in thought as she sat down there staring at nothing in particular. She suddenly caught a glimpse of a white cute cat meowing as it walked around,as a lover of cats,she couldn’t help but to smile brightly.
“Hey little kitten” Oakley called.
“Meow” Luna walked to her and Oakley carried her.
“Wow,you’re so cute. Who owns you?” Oakley smiled.
“Cat-Girl” Bryant said beside her and she turned to see the strange face,or maybe she’s the one who haven’t noticed.
“Cat-Girl? Who’s that?” Oakley asked still stroking Luna’s fur.
“The one who….got burnt” Bryant muttered.
“Oh” Oakley immediately dropped the cat.
“Why did you drop it?” Bryant chuckled.
Luna climbed back and settled on Oakley’s laps again.
“Seems like she likes you…her name is Luna” Bryant said.
Oakley looked at Luna.
“I guess she’s looking for the girl you are talking about” She mumbled and Bryant nodded.
“You can take care of it then,the two people who always protect and take care of it are no more here” Bryant said and Oakley looked at him
“You sound hurt,do you like anyone of them?” She asked.
“Maybe just a crush” Bryant said and Oakley nodded.
“On Cat-Girl I guess,then you should be the one who takes care of her cat…..”
“I don’t really like cats,and besides I never got the chance to get close to her so….it’s not even a crush yet,I just like her” Bryant said.
“Oh” Oakley pouted.
“What’s your name?” Bryant asked.
“Oakley”
“I’m Bryant”
“Nice meeting you” Oakley said.
Lamia showed up some minutes later.
“Lamia” Oakley immediately stood up and Bryant also turned.
“I thought you got lost” Lamia said.
“Don’t worry,she won’t” Bryant winked and tapped Lamia’s shoulder before walking away
“What is he thinking?” Lamia chuckled and faced Oakley back.
“Come with me,I will show you your new room” He said.
“Thank you” Oakley smiled and followed Lamia.
They walked in silence until Lamia finally entered the room.
“Wow” Oakley dropped Luna who immediately climbed on the bed.
“What do you think?”
“Perfect,better than my old room but I have a problem” Oakley faced Lamia.
“What problem?”
“I think I stink right now,I’ve been putting on the same dress for…….”
“Say no more” Lamia shook his finger and used his eyes to open the wardrobe,it was filled with clothes.
“I went to the dark realm,and fortunately they haven’t touched your room yet,so I took your clothes and everything you must…..” Before he could finish,Oakley hugged him.
“Hey! You said it yourself that you stink!” Lamia yelled and pushed her away.
Oakley laughed out.
“You should see your face now” She said,laughing harder.
“Get a perfect wash please” Lamia scoffed and walked out.
Oakley grinned excitedly and rushed into the bathroom
“This is perfect” She groaned when the shower started running down her body.
*****
SUMMER’S ROOM**
“Hey sis” Winter entered her room and she turned from the mirror,she was trying to apply some lip gloss on her lips.
“Are you okay?” Winter asked.
“I’m perfectly fine,why wouldn’t I?” Summer asked and Winter sat down.
“I’m just thinking….you might be regretting what you did to Cat-Girl” She said.
“Regret? She tried to hurt Lamia with a knife,such person shouldn’t be among us because probably one day she might have her chance and kill anyone,she’s not different from that b*tch called Heaven and I hate the fact that Lamia didn’t kill her right there,such an obsessed b*tch” Summer hissed.
“I knew it would turn to this,from the moment she started faking it just to get Lamia’s attention,she even hurt Natasha once because Lamia hugged her,but I never knew she would try to associate with the dark realm,she must really be crazy to think Lamia would spare her or something” Winter scoffed.
“I know right? Natasha is annoying these days,why the f**k would she try to stop Lamia? Gosh that girl!” Summer groaned and Winter laughed.
“I’m sure she was just emotional,like the queen she is,But I love how Lamia didn’t let her stop him from giving the right judgment” Winter said.
The door opened and Eugene came in.
“Do you come in here without knocking?” Winter asked.
“Do I?” Eugene asked.
“Are you seriously asking me?” Winter frowned.
“Stop talking,I’m here for your sister not you….”
“My sister is not available now” Winter scoffed.
“Let’s talk later” Summer smiled at Winter and she frowned.
“Are you ditching me for him…..”
“Later” Summer said
Winter glared at Eugene and he waved at her,she walked out of the room..
“Hey” Eugene said as Summer moved closer to him.
“You heard what happened already?” Summer asked and Eugene nodded.
“So…..” Eugene pulled her into a hug before she could talk.
“I’m so proud of you” he said and Summer smiled.
“I thought you will get mad at me” She muttered.
“Why should I?” Eugene broke the hug and kissed her forehead.
“Are you going somewhere? You look hot” He said.
“I’m going nowhere” Summer said
“Is this for me??” Eugene grinned.
“Never” Summer scoffed and Eugene laughed.
*****
CHASE’S ROOM**
Lamia entered the room,Natasha and Damon were already there with Thatcher and Sadie.
“How’s he?” Lamia asked.
“Master Lilith already came,she rearranged his bone somehow and I think he should be okay once he’s awake” Natasha told him.
“What about the dark power used on him?” Sadie asked.
“I already checked that,He’s safe” Natasha said and Lamia nodded.
“I’m sorry y’all,it’s because of me” Lamia muttered.
“No it’s not,you were nice to everyone,she only took it as something else” Sadie said and Lamia sighed out.
“Chase will be fine,don’t worry” Natasha said to Damon and he nodded slowly.

HOURS LATER★CONTROL ROOM**
All the students were present,including Oakley this time around except Chase though. The three masters,but Artemis wasn’t there.
“We need to start acting fast now,enemies are much at the moment” Master Liam said.
“Now that Heaven isn’t here,would they be able to come into our villa again?” Summer asked.
“No,I made the seal more heavier and harder” Lamia said and the masters nodded.
“So what’s the plan now? I think our focus was the beast before but now that we also have the Shadows to take care of” Damon sighed.
“I’m sure if we convince Lamia’s mom and she’s able to help,the beast might return to normal and everything else would be easy” Thatcher said.
“I don’t think so…Granny said he was cursed,the purpose of meeting his human lover is just to stop him from killing innocent souls” Lamia said.
“I will visit lady Adele again with Winter and Summer” Natasha said.
“Can I tag along?” Oakley asked.
“Yeah sure” Lamia said and she nodded.
“Others,make sure you remain in the villa and watch out for everything that might happen” Master River said.
“Yes master!” They chorused.
“Oakley…..Your people there will also come for us” Master Lilith said.
“I already told granny I will take full responsibility for that,don’t worry” Lamia said.
“I will join Lamia for that” Eugene said.
“Me too” Bryant said.
“I’m also here” Speedy said.
“Me too” Damon muttered and Oakley smiled.
“Thank you guys” She said.
*****
NIGHT★COVEN OF SHADOWS**
All the shadows bowed as soon as Maleficent came in,she walked straight to her real body sitting on the throne and she turned into another darker version of herself.
“Were you able to get Heaven out of where the devil’s son kept her?” She asked.
“No leader….The barrier was too strong for us to break,I think he created it himself”
Maleficent growled angrily
“That child!!!!! He’s no different from his father!!!!! I will kill him!!!!!” He growled and they kept bowing.
“Try every possible way to break the barrier!!!! Anyhow!!!!” She shouted.
“Yes leader,…….”
“Now!!!!!!!”
Almost immediately,about ten of them disappeared and appeared where the cell was.
It was in the underworld,a world filled with different dark demons that have perished for their evil doings,getting their punishments.
They got to the particular one Heaven is in,she was lying on the floor but she was still alive,she was still since she have no eyes.
They started trying their best to open it as ordered but they couldn’t.
Suddenly they began hearing claps behind them and they all turned to see Lamia smiling.
“I’ve been expecting you,how come you’re so late? I guess you don’t really care like I imagined” Lamia sighed.
The shadows communicated with each other,they can’t possibly fight against him so they tried escaping.
Lamia stretched his hands to them and began changing them from the shadow forms they are,he could hear their bones cracking and when they finally shifted,they all turned into strange wolves with horns.
“Perfect” Lamia smirked and sent them into another prison,with just his hand while standing in the same position,He locked the door with his eyes and created another strong barrier around them.
“I will be waiting for more,until your leader decides to show herself in my face” Lamia said and vanished.
*****
LIGHT REALM★RIVERSIDE**
Natasha was sitting down,her legs inside the water. She was worried about everything happening,how they would overcome the war anytime soon.
“Why are you thinking so much? My heart is beating fast” Lamia sat down beside her.
“Where are you coming from?” Natasha faced him.
“Giving some creatures what they deserve” Lamia said.
Natasha placed her head on Lamia’s shoulder.
“I’m not scared….I know you will always protect me. But I’m scared for everyone else…..I just… I don’t want to loose anyone again” Natasha muttered.
“I will try my best to make sure that doesn’t happen” Lamia said.
“I will help also,I promise” Natasha said.
Suddenly a creature appeared on the water,on an invisible seat.
“Deity!” Natasha called immediately when she finally revealed herself.
Lamia and Natasha both stood up.
“Old One,” they bowed and she smiled.
“You must feel exhausted” She said and Natasha nodded.
The Deity looked at Lamia.
“You’re really….just like your father child. I can see I’m never going to regret choosing you and her in the future” She said and Natasha smiled.
“Thank you old one” She said.
“But then….there’s something you should know” The Deity said and they listened attentively.
“Maleficent,the leader of the shadows is an enemy of the royalties,from your father,now to you”
“She wouldn’t stop until the royal lineage are all destroyed,she’s filled and being controlled by anger and revenge,everything including jealousy”
“Who is she?” Lamia asked.
“The mate your father rejected” The Deity replied and they both gasped out.
