Ugh! The weather here sucks ass, leave it to Elvis to choose a cold area to hide out in. Damn Scorpios and their cold hearts.

I checked my phone one last time before walking into my literature class about 40 minutes late...again. I was wearing my favorite Friday the 13th sweatshirt and a pair of pale blue ripped skinny jeans as I power walked to my seat in the far back. Everyone glared at me as I took my seat and pulled out my lit book.

Thank god I was able to find one in English this time.

I looked up to see my teacher, Mrs. Whatever the fuck glaring me down. She never liked me, or my american accent for that matter. She thought of us as shit heads, but this was the only English speaking high school that I found here in France so I had to pull through it.

"Ms. Phoenix, do you have any idea what time it is?"

I checked my phone before smirking to myself and answering the bitch. "According to my brand new galaxy s6, its a quarter to 9."

Her nostrils flared at my response. Her grip tightened on her meter stick as she straightened her already perfect posture. "Well according to the school scheduale, class starts at 8 am. I'll have to give you another detention slip. Do try to show up this time."

I gave her a toothy grin as she handed me the pink slip with my name written in her perfect cursive. I waited til she was a few feet away from me until I crumpled the paper up and tossed it behind me, letting it fly out the open window that was behind my desk. I checked my phone once more to see that there was a text message from my older brother Elvis.

Elvis: Aquarius are hanging out in front of your school. I'd hurry up and split if I were you...

I rolled my eyes at the text and set my phone down, picking my lit book back up and shoving it into my black messenger bag. I looked towards the front of the class to see that my teacher had her back faced towards me and was writing something about hamlet on the board. I grabbed my phone and shoved it in my bag before getting up and quickly jumping out the open window. I crouched there for a second and scanned the perimeter. No one in sight, good. I stood up and ran towards the parking lot and towards the mint green vw bus that my brother was seated in, waiting impatiently for me to arrive.

Elvis was 20, but with his well groomed beard he could well pull off 25. His gages had gotten bigger since the last time I saw him and he added a grey skull tattoo on his left hand. He looked good for an assassin, but then again most of them do.

We didn't look much alike besides our tattoos covering our bodies and brunette hair. We decided that if Aquarius was after me then it would be better to get some tattoos to try and hide myslelf. Well, that and moving to a nice guest house on a wine property in Bordeaux, France.

France was a pretty nice place. They had plenty of people who actually spoke English, so it was easy to act like we were tourists visiting for a while. We've lived here since I was 15, and for awhile, life was pretty easy for us, until Aquarius found me today of course.

"What have you done in the last week?"

I looked at my brother confused. "What kind of question is that? I can barely remember what I ate for dinner and you expect me to tell you about my week?"

He sped up the bus when a car pulled up behind us. Only one Aquarius was in the car, but he was probably a badass assassin.

"This is no laughing matter Rougue, whatever you've done recently made them find your trail fast enough to sniff you out in a matter of seconds."

My eyes widened at this. Elvis was a Scorpio,so his special ability is strength and tracking. If he says that they found me in a matter of seconds, then he wasn't lying. His topaz ring on his middle finger began to glow and his eyes turned a faded orange as he concentrated harder on the road. He must be tracking more Aquarius's.

Fuck this wasn't good, nope, not good at all.

I closed my eyes and took a few deep breathes to calm me down as Elvis stepped on the gas and turned a sharp corner. Aquarius have been hunting me ever since I was 14 years old. When I was 14, my abilities came in very strong, and I ended up burning a house down with my parents in it. They were both Pisces you see, and being good friends with a few powerful Aquarius's, they weren't too happy to find out that their friends Taurus daughter had killer them. So my brother took me under his wing and we moved to France to hide. They couldn't find me at all, so why now?

I opened my eyes when the bus had stopped and Elvis jumped out of the car and began running down the street. I jumped out of my seat and followed after him. He had parked at a fancy bakery miles from our house, probably trying to run the assassin off.

Elvis hopped over a gate and hid inside a very large, and untrimmed bush. I did the same, scooting as close as I could to him as possible. I pulled out my phone and turned it off so that it wouldn't go off and blow our cover. I was used to hiding in random places, Elvis would constantly do escape drills in his free time so hiding in a bush was normal for me.

After about 15 minutes of strained silence, Elvis sat down and let out his breath. Calming down a little. He looked toward and and glared, annoyed.

"What you've done, you better hope that they don't know where we live."

I rolled my eyes and layed down, already done with this conversation. "Hey, at least I'm proud to be a Taurus big brother, otherwise you would have had to get rid of a dead body a long time ago."

And with that, I closed my eyes and let sleep take me away from this nonsense.


Hey people its me again. So tell me what you think! Hope you're enjoying it so far! ;)
