Chapter 3~

"ENOUGH!" A voice, loud and full of power filled the room, everyone paled and we all looked to the source.

My mouth dropped.

There he was.

Orion furious like I've never seen him and stomping this way. He looked like a bull or a wolf. Scary and majestic.

"Everyone OUT!" As he said.

Everyone but the nice lady and Mr Watson left.
And they both looked like they wanted to run for the hills. Not gonna lie I almost felt the same.

"S-sir this has a perfectly good explanation!" Mr Watson started as Orion was still heading this way.

"You see this b-brat!"

Orion covered so many steps in his anger it's like he teleported.

"Calm down Mr Watson, do I need to remind you that you're on thin ice as it is?" He almost sounded calm asking the question.

Orion positioned himself right in front of Mr Watson taking advantage of Watsons small demeanour.

Mr Watson looked like he shat himself. And the lady, well she looked no different.

"Well?" He asked clenching his jaw and fists.

"Ori?" I whisper.
He looks over to me as does Mr Watson. Orion's eyes were soft but Watson's were hard and kind of scary.

Without much thought I chucked myself at Orions side, he caught me easy with no effort and I grabbed hold of him like my life depended on it. I couldn't take it anymore I felt myself slip down and I just cried into the side of his chest. Breaking into another panic attack.

Not caring about Mr Watson and the lady probably both looking like they'd seen ghosts I just hugged Orion as he slid down to my level.

"Get into my office." Orion order darkly.

Watson and the lady did so.

"Hey... Lumi? Breathe ok? In.... out, follow me, in.... out. You're alright I'm with you. Nothing's gonna happen to you I promise."

I follow his lead and take a minute or so to calm down my breathing.

"Orion?" I shake.

"Yes?"

"You're here? But how? Why? What's going on?"

"Sshh slow down, I'll explain everything later, one thing at a time. Let's go into my office are you ready for that?" He kindly asks.

I nod back.

It was a bit weird, here I was on the floor hugging Orion, who I've just found out, works at my school. With all these crazy things going on.

Cliché idiot moment I know.

"Come on kitten, let's get you up." Orion whispers lightly in my ear.

I just nod again unable to find my voice, allowing him to, again effortlessly, lift, my 5 and half foot self, into his chest.

The plaque on the door read "Leblanc's office" and I wondered how big of a deal he was here. He walked in shutting the door and past the two teachers sitting obediently on two of the three seats provided.

The room reflected most of the Orion I knew the style was modern and everything was clean. But the room lacked the warmth I felt whenever I was with him.

The room was large, with two black modern sofas, one was against the side wall and the other was facing it, both behind his large dark wood desk. There was a large window at the back of the room. In front of the desk, which was just forwards of the center of the room, was three chairs which were black plastic and didn't look all that comfy. The wooden floor looked spotless and was polished.

Mr Watson gave the death glare when I looked from Orions shoulder to him and yet I felt more confident than I did earlier. Orion complete ignore the two as he sat me on his chair as if I was glass. His back faced the door, the two teachers in the seats and the desk in front of them. He basically covered me as he leaned down over me curled up in his black leather chair.

"You are bleeding." He stated looking down at the shirt I was wearing, it was once white but now there was red pooling in places.
I questioned how I didn't notice. Especially when I looked at my hand which either got cut with the wood or the saw.

His eyes followed mine to my hand and he gripped the chair arms tightly, angling his head to look at Watson. He then slipped off his black suit jacket, turned the chair and leaned down close to my ear.

"Put that on for now and don't turn around."
His voice had a sharp edge to it and I felt myself shiver slightly.

I did as he said still sitting and hiding myself behind the large chair, I unbuttoned my shirt, with difficulty, and ungracefully flapped myself, as quietly as I could out of the shirt.

After I did that I pulled on his suit jacket. It was warm and not only that but it smelt just like him. The sad thing was I couldn't button it up. The pain in my hand was now unbearable and I'm questioning why no one has done anything about it. Hint Orion hint. Once I did all that I listened into the conversation. I mean it's not like I was told not to and every main character does it anyway.

"Let me get this straight, you're both saying completely different things, you're saying you simply lead her here gently and you're saying he dragged her?" I could hear Orion getting frustrated, "but neither of you noticed her bleeding and decide to have a yelling match in front of her?!"  He sighed and I heard him walk around the chair to me.

"Lumi," he started quietly and I looked at him.He sighed again getting on his knees he started buttoning up the jacket unbothered,

"Help me, which is true?"

It didn't take much thought I pointed, the best I could, to my arm with my injured hand. Taking the hint he gently grabbed my arm and slid up the sleeve to where you could see the angry red hand mark left by Mr Watson starting to bruise. He narrowed his eyes before stepping aside as a short dotty lady rushed ahold of my hand.

To say it didn't sting was a lie. But it warmed my heart that Orion didn't forget to call the nurse, even if I regret his doing so. This lady paid no heed to my hissing of pain and just worked through it, wiping down my hand with alcohol wipes I wish I could drink.
