From Another Place (A Zodiac Story)

˜6˜

Vincent was pissed at Liam.

His best friend, Charles was sleeping on his bed, with bandages all over his face. And school was starting the next day.

"I'm terribly sorry," Phoebe told him, "For Liam,"

"Forget it," Vincent mumbled. He knew that Phoebe didn't do anything wrong, and she even helped Charles, but he didn't want to thank her. For one, she is a hero's daughter. Second, their parents are enemies.

"Are you staying here with him all night?" she asked. Vincent sighed and shook his head.

"I'll leave in a few minutes," he answered.

"Have you prepared your school supplies for tomorrow yet?" She asked with a sweet smile. Man, she asks so much questions...

"Well, obviously," Vincent shrugged, "I need to be prepared for anything,"

"Isn't that a bit weird coming from a villain?" Phoebe asked him again with a raised eyebrow,

"Have you realized that we are enemies, and what I do is none of your business?" Vincent smiled sarcastically at her.

"I'm sorry..." Phoebe muttered and looked down. Vincent pursed his lips and looked away from her. Maybe he was being a tad too mean to her.

"You should go," Vincent mumbled to her, "it's late anyway, and you have to wake up early tomorrow." Phoebe shyly glanced at him with her baby blue eyes. She nodded, and left the room. Vincent groaned and laid his head back. She was his enemy, but she was making it hard for him to hate her.

"That idiot lost his temper," Gianna groaned when Liliana told her about what had happened. That night, they decided to have a sleepover in Gianna's bedroom.

"I'm just scared that the villains would take revenge for their friend," Liliana sighed, and laid her head back on her pillow. Gianna smacked her arm, and Liliana got back up.

"Don't go lazing around, it's still 9pm!" Gianna scolded her, "besides, we need to discuss." Liliana rolled her eyes playfully, and grabbed a hairbrush on Gianna's side table. She carefully combed her hair as Gianna continued speaking,

"What's the plan for tomorrow?" Gianna asked.

"What plan?"

"We're going back to school remember? It's junior year," Gianna rolled her eyes, "You know how Amora's been chasing after Liam,"

Liliana grabbed her lip balm and applied it over her lips, "Hmm... strawberry!"

"Lina!"

"Okay, okay. Well, it's fine really. Liam can date whomever he wants. Amora's a nice girl; she'll make him happy," Liliana smiled kindly at the lip balm in her hand.

"Don't say that," Gianna sighed, "You know that Liam likes you,"

"Oh don't mess around; Liam flirts around, but he doesn't like anyone," Liliana giggled.

"Oh come on, don't act like you've never realized it," Gianna wiggled her eyebrows and nudged at her, "He flirts around sure, but you're the only one he actually treats kindly,"

Liliana placed her lip balm back down, "Even so, I can't accept him,"

"Why not?" Gianna frowned,

"On the last week of sophomore year, I saw him making out with Amora behind the bleachers. He told her that he loved her. That he wanted to marry her someday," Liliana shrugged, "If he truly likes me, then he wouldn't

be saying that. The person he loves is Amora, not me,"

Then, Liliana clapped her hands, "Anyways, enough about me. What's up with you and Anton, huh?"

Gianna squinted at her before answering, "There's nothing going on. Seriously. He just follows us around, and act as if we're besties. I just think it's kinda suspicious,"

Liliana fought back a smile and raised an eyebrow at her, "So... you don't think he's kinda handsome, charming or anything?"

Gianna scoffed at her, "Are you hearing yourself right now? Anton's the future king of hearts. I'm Rapunzel's daughter,"

"Well, in your offense, your mom did fall in love with your dad, who was a thief," Liliana smiled, "So why can't you fall in love with a villain?"

"Oh look at that," Gianna looked at the clock; it was 9:23pm, "It's time for bed. Come on, we have school tomorrow!" She quickly turned off the lights and fell onto the pillow. She pulled the blanket over her shoulder and turned away from her best friend.

Liliana rolled her eyes and smiled at the blonde princess, before going to sleep as well.

There were 3 gold and white carriages outside the mansion. Each were pulled by large white horses, and driven by a uniformed man. From the logo on the uniforms, Serpent guessed that it was sent from the Fairy Empire, Ifolar.

"What's with the royalty treatment?" Terri grinned at the carriages,

"Obviously because we're zodiacs now. We're VIPs," Vincent muttered and glared at the horses. Since there were 3 carriages, 4 people had to share a carriage. Anton, Gianna, Liliana and Liam entered the first carriage. Coraline, Simon, Phoebe entered the second carriage. Terri, Vincent, Serpent, Charles and Andrew were left.

Serpent eyed the auburn haired princess, hugging her backpack over her uniform. He smirked and looked back at his friends.

"I'll go to the second carriage," he told them. Vincent shrugged and raised an eyebrow at Terri, Charles and Andrew.

"I guess it's just us then," Andrew evil grinned, making the others shiver uncomfortably.

"Stop smiling like that!" Charles glared at him. He still had a fading black eye, but his scars were gone, thanks to Terri's healing potion.

Andrew shrugged, and they all went inside their carriages. Serpent walked over to the second carriage, where Coraline, Phoebe and Simon were talking. They all stared at Serpent in shock when he plopped beside Simon, in front of Coraline.

"What are you guys talking about?" Serpent lazily grinned at Coraline.

"Why does it have to be you?" Simon scowled. Serpent shrugged and winked at Phoebe.

"Hey princess, you look good today," he flirted. Phoebe fake-barfed and looked away from him. He frowned, and Coraline giggled.

"Is it wrong if I don't feel bad for you at all?" she smiled insincerely. Phoebe and Simon widened their eyes at her.

"Well princess, aren't you a meanie, today," Serpent shot her a sly smile,

"Just for you," Coraline gave him a brittle grin.
