Libra POV
I sighed and looked at my list. It'd been only three hours in the new building and:
1. Sagittarius was locked in the closet by Pisces for being annoying and she wouldn't tell anyone where the closet was
2. Leo and Taurus had taken over the living room and started a war over the bowl of grapes Taurus was hogging by building pillow forts on opposite sides
3. Aquarius had stolen those grapes and no one noticed
4. Gemini had almost set the kitchen on fire twice from trying to heat her hot chocolate
5. Scorpio had locked everyone out of the pool room so he could "swim in peace"
6. Virgo was trying to get Pisces to tell her where Sagittarius was but it wasn't working
7. Gemini had joined the war on Taurus's side and Pisces was on Leo's (that was probably why Virgo wasn't getting anything out of her)
8. Capricorn and Aries were being given the tour of the entire property because Aries demanded that she had to know where everything was because this was her Realm. Capricorn was just coming along so that she didn't get lost or fatally injure herself along the way
9. And I'd locked Cancer in the training room and blasted Baby Shark on repeat for one hour as punishment for stealing my perfume. The locks were set to release when the hour was done.
All in all, everyone was being tortured one way or another. I pinned the list up on my bulletin board that I'd found in my room when I heard Leo call us from downstairs.
I frowned and went downstairs. "What is it?" I asked him, looking over at the pillow forts. Taurus was peeking out of one like a cat.
Leo just pointed to the elevator door that led downstairs. Em was standing in the doorway.
"I need all of you, now," she said, looking at the six of us in the room. "Where are the others?"
"Pi," Virgo scolded her. Pisces sighed and dropped her pillow. "Fine, I'll go unlock Sagittarius."
"I guess I'll have to let Cancer out of the training room then," I said, folding my arms. "Who's gonna tell Scorpio that we need him?"
Taurus hid deeper in his pillow fort. "Not me. Definitely not me."
"Thanks for volunteering, Taur!" I smiled. Taurus narrowed his eyes but crawled out of the pillow fort. Em looked at him with confusion. "Okay . . . where's the last one, then?"
"Aquarius?" Leo asked, snapping to attention. "I don't know . . ."
"AQUARIUS!" Gemini called. She walked into the room with an empty bowl of grapes. "Yeah?"
Both Leo and Taurus gasped, scandalized. Aquarius rolled her eyes and set the bowl of grapes on the coffee table. "Why do you need me again?"
I shrugged but Em said, "The other two are already at the forge, so come on and gather the others already." Then she looked at Taurus, who was scooting across the floor to the doorway to the pool room on his stomach, and she blinked.
