Orion (The Hunter)

Assignments

In a special cemetery that looks dark and also creepy. There was no one there except for the not so many tombs. The sounds of crickets and owls complete the atmosphere of the tomb. A guard patrolled each tomb to see security.

Arriving behind the guard a shadow walked quickly past him from behind unnoticed. The guard still continued to walk with the flashlight as the light of the way.

SRAK !

There was the sound of the friction of the leaves being stepped on. The guard pointed his flashlight at the sound but found nothing but dried leaf leaves filling the path.

" Maybe because of the wind." he murmured.

Remember, there was no one at the funeral but him. Including animals in any form because it can damage the calm at this cemetery. So not other than this cold breeze there is no one who can make the leaves rub against each other to make a sound.

The guard returned patrolling with a calm face without fear. There was no strangeness as far as he was patrolling at the moment. But when the guard is about to pass through the new tomb of a Z country doctor. Suddenly somehow the guard felt the night wind getting colder to make the fur of his nape stand up.

The guard turned to the right and to the left to confirm something. Then walk back with courage that may have diminished.

SRAK !

Again, the sound of friction of the drier leaves being stepped on was heard by the guard. His steps became stalled and once again his flashlight pointed towards the origin of the sound. Haven't seen the guard feel a black shadow pass him from behind.

Spontaneous the guard looked at the direction behind him and as he expected. It was nothing but a pile of roads that filled the path of the tomb. The guard intended to continue his steps to return to patrol.

SRAK !

The sound of friction of the stepped dry leaves sounded from a different direction than before. The guard became suspicious, was it really just because of the night wind work ?.

The guard walked closer to the origin of the dry leaf sound. But after arriving he got the same. The guard sighed to neutralize his heartbeat. Suddenly arrived a black shadow like back past the back of his body. The guard immediately turned to look and found nothing. So he looked back to the front to continue his steps.

But it was not the empty path he saw as he turned forward. A black-robed man was standing in front of him.

" Yes... !"

BUGS !

A punch came from behind the guard. The black-robed person opened his hood and looked at the person who hit the guard.

" You didn't make him die did Nilam ?" ask Alnitak.

Alnilam crouched down to check the guard's pulse and stood back up. " He just fainted."

" Good, otherwise we'll get in trouble."

" I know." replied Alnilam as he stared in disdain at the guard. " His style was the tomb keeper but he was still shouting when he saw that there was a black-robed person in front of him" he continued mocking.

Alnitak chuckled at hearing that. " Not everyone has the same mentality. Keeping the tomb doesn't mean he's as thick as the steel we have in our shadows."

" You're right and I'm quite disappointed that he's not like the one in my shadow. I thought the tomb keeper was brave and also had an amazing steel mentality. Turns out it's just a bunch of cowards just like out there."

Alnitak took off his black robe and pulled Alnilam to follow him. " Just leave it, now let's do our job."

BRUK !

" What is this ?" Bellatrix pointed at the bundle of cloth and turned to look at Alnilam and Alnitak.

" Our job, now it's your job" replied Alnitak.

Bellatrix opened the bundle of cloth slowly then held her breath as she looked at the contents. Rigel and Saiph turned reluctant to see him and Mintaka ran to vomit his bowels after seeing that.

Bellatrix immediately closed the bundle of cloth again with a feeling of half disgust. To be honest it was almost half rotten and smelled disgusting.

" We're late for it" Bellatrix said.

" Even so, you must take care of Alltrix." replied Alnilam.

In this room that does not feel disgusted is only Alnilam and Alnitak. So it is not surprising that only the two of them can act relaxed after seeing the contents of the bundle of cloth.

" Take it as your filial piety anyway because he's wanted to raise you as his son before." Alnitak smiled after saying it.

Bellatrix clucked unhappily. " There is he who owes me a debt of gratitude because I healed him. Not to mention because of her I had to be in the hospital until now and pretend to be in pain."

" Just because of the punch you're in pain ? You're so weak !" Saiph sneered at him without hesitation.

Bellatrix waved once her hand with a lazy face. " At first yes but after a day of feeling the pain. I feel like it's nothing else."

" As Orion hoped, you wouldn't get hurt just being hit lightly like that. Even your bones improve even if they get broken." Rigel spoke amid the debate.

Bellatrix who heard him could only faintly smile. " Orion has foreseen all the possibilities."

According to Bellatrix, Orion had never been reckless with them if they had done something wrong. So Bellatrix realized Orion's actions when he killed the Dean yesterday.

" I'll bring this. " Bellatrix took the bundle of cloth and brought it to the laboratory room.

" I think he's grown up after that night" Saiph said as he watched Bellatrix leave.

" Maybe the blow to his head has awakened him." replied Alnilam.

" Where's bellatrix ?" Mintaka came with a pale face and a glass of water in his hand.

Rigel and Saiph stared at Mintaka from top to bottom and back up again. Seeing Mintaka's pale face, Rigel and Saiph suspect that Mintaka has drained his bowels.

" You've vomited ?" Saiph asked the obvious fool that he himself already knew the answer.

Mintaka's body was seen tensing for a few seconds before returning as usual. But it was of course already seen by Rigel and Saiph without Mintaka knowing.

" I ate wrong earlier and my stomach hurt" Mintaka replied.

Rigel and Saiph pura don't know it. They just nodded in understanding.

" Begging Bellatrix for a cure." Rigel ordered.

Mintaka nodded at a glance. " Hm, just later."

" Learn not to scare anything." Rigel speaks cold.

" l.iya."
