Chapter 1 Cold Superior

AT MOUNT DELOS, MYSTIC INSTITUTE

The time is 7pm, so it was already dark when Agatha barged out of her room angrily, her eyes beaming several colours as she raged down the wide corridor.

The disciples in the corridor knew better than to be caught on her way, so everyone began stepping aside, and the ones who were chatting in groups stopped their chats to turn their attention to her.

Who pissed her off?

Some steamy fight coming up!

It's sure she's going to Ceres!

As predicted, Agatha got to Ceres's door and pushed it open with her eyes, and her eyes changed colour to deep green as a result.

The opening was so violent that the metal door broke into two, and the two parts fell heavily on the ground.

Agatha stepped on the two as she entered the room, meeting Ceres who was just coming out of the bathroom with just a towel tied to her chest.

"You broke my door again? Agatha!!!!" She yelled, and her eyes changed colour too. Deep green just like Agatha's.

"My white bra is missing from the clothesline. You're the only one who used the clothesline today too. Give back my bra before I make you regret ever stealing!" Agatha demanded, not leaving her spot.

By now, over fifty disciples are by the door, watching the drama that'd soon turn into a steamy battle.

It's not new, Agatha and Ceres are the worst enemies in the institute, and something must surely cause a fight between them every day.

"And what gave you the assurance that I stole it" Ceres smirked.

"I'm the only princess in this institute, so everything I own is bound to catch your attention cos there's no way you can afford that bra! Give it back!" Agatha yelled, her eyes becoming greener.

"You're a princess, I'm not denying that, but this isn't your palace! This is Mystic Institute and so far you're in here, we're all disciples! Stop being so cocky cos your kingdom is not even that wide, stupid girl!" Ceres said spitefully.

"Repeat that" Agatha raged.

"Stupid girl!!!" Ceres yelled, and Agatha walked just three steps to her. She leapt into the air and did a 360 turn before landing a kick on Ceres's face.

Ceres went crashing into the wall, and some of her bones surely broke cos it was impossible when she tried to stand, so she directed her eyes to the broken door.

She lifted it easily, sending it to Agatha, but Agatha dodged it skillfully, and the metal went into the wall.

By now, Ceres already set her broken bones, so she stood and sped to Agatha, grabbing her by the throat sharply.

"Ahh! Let go of me!" Agatha struggled, bleeding from the corner of her mouth.

"You started this" Ceres smirked, and her nails grew long, digging into Agatha's neck.

"Arggggghhh!!!!" Agatha cried.

Raven and Krishna came in at that moment, and Raven's eyes widened.

Raven is Ceres's elder brother while Krishna is his best friend.

"Just leave them, their fight is always fun to watch" Krishna said, crossing his arms calmly on his chest.

"You're insane" Raven muttered and ran to the scene to separate them, but even though Agatha is on chokehold, she released two sharp arrows from her green eyes, and before Raven could dodge, the two penetrated his chest, sending him to the ground unconscious.

"I warned you" Krishna muttered.

"Cat, is he still alive?" He asked, and a small black cat jumped out of his trousers pocket, landing on Raven's chest on the ground.

"Yes, he's still breathing" Cat talked.

"Great" Krishna smiled, and Cat returned to his pocket as he resumed watching the fight.

"How dare you hurt my brother!!!" Ceres yelled angrily.

"What are you gonna do?" Agatha smiled wickedly, and when Ceres made to attack her, Agatha snapped her fingers, and time stopped.

Everyone in the room stopped moving and came to a standstill except her.

"You're dying today, Ceres" she smirked, spreading her palm.

A sharp kitchen knife appeared in her hand, and she raised it to stab Ceres when someone appeared, snatching the knife from her.

Time started running again, and everyone began moving.

"Master!" Agatha's eyes widened when she saw who it was

It's Master Duran, dressed in his black cloak which even covered his head, leaving out some strands of his long hair though.

He's expressionless as usual, and Agatha quickly went on her knees with everyone else at the door.

"Greetings, master!" They chorused.

"How dare you mess with time just to hurt others! You think it's fun?" Master Duran demanded.

"She stole something from me, master" Agatha replied.

"I never stole anything! She's lying!" Ceres shouted, and Peony rushed into the room.

"I'm so sorry Agatha, I mistakenly packed your bra with my clothes" she said, raising the white bra adorned with pearls.

"See? You just needed a reason to fight me as usual, and that's why you came here straight without investigating" Ceres said.

The bell for the practice assembly rang from the ground, and Master Duran folded his arms behind himself.

"To the assembly, everyone except Agatha" he ordered, and everyone rushed out of the room including Raven who was just waking up.

"Go call Orion in his room" Master Duran ordered, and Agatha gasped.

"Superior Orion hates when his privacy is disturbed! He'd hurt me!"

"And that's your punishment for what you just did, you have five minutes to bring him to the assembly or you'd have to spend five minutes in the Beastly Territory" Master Duran replied before vanishing.

TWO MINUTES LATER

Agatha got to Orion's door and took a deep breath, taking a good look at it.

Three things were written on the door with Orion's blood.

DO NOT KNOCK

DO NOT COME IN

NO NOISE AROUND

She swallowed before raising her shaky hand to the door.

She'd just do it and receive punishment from Orion himself cos spending five minutes in the Beastly Territory is a death sentence.

After her third knock, no sound came from the room, so she slowly pushed the door open, and there was nothing but darkness in the room as usual.

The lights aren't on, Orion hates brightness.

"Super..ior... Orion, your attention is...

She was still talking when the lights came on suddenly.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" She screamed, falling fearfully on her butt.

The room is empty, he's not in.
