Lost Worlds (a zodiac story)

Case imposter

    "I've never seen your room before," Libra's eyes wandered around the spacious room. Everything was in place and it seemed spotless. He found it odd to believe that a tidy room like this existed in such a chaotic house.

"I have," Aries hopped in the neatly made bed, relaxing on the headrest. "A couple of times."

Capricorn continued to watch in silence, leaning close to the window. He had invited both Aries and Libra to one of the places people rarely think of going, His room.

The second safest spot after Corvus's room, "Let's talk about why were here," Capricorn called for their attention.

"Yeah about that," Aries crawled out of the bed, a perplexed expression on her face, "Shouldn't we tell Corvus about it instead?"

"To be logical, he does have more experience than us," Libra put in, adjusting his glasses.

"One, Corvus had made his room off limits, two,  we need to be sure before taking such accusation to him," Capricorn told off their ideas.

Aries and Libra thought for a while before agreeing, there's no harm in confirming first, right?

"Right now, it could be any of us, considering the people who has left this place at some point."

"Bro you added yourself?" Aries was taken aback. She personally wouldn't do that.

"I might be the one, but I don't know it yet," Capricorn answered.

"Wait a sec," Libra stood up, he stretched his hand forward, creating a portal which he walked in. Seconds later he walked out, pulling a whiteboard and a couple of markers out with him. "This is from the library," he smiled, scribbling their names.

"It can't be me bro, I'd know if I'm no longer in control of my own body," Aries crossed her name out.

"That's not prove enough," Libra stated, writing her name again.

"Then again it could be you, you can easily create a portal to anywhere even to Vela," Aries bellowed, drawing a circle around Libra's name.

"You're trying to take the focus off you, that's suspicious," Libra drew a circle around hers.

"Its called confidence."

Capricorn was disappointed, he watched them bicker, drawing more circles around their names, "It could be Virgo, she did carry Vela's Android, that's the closest thing," He interjected, circling Virgo's name.

"And it also puts both Gem and Scorpio on that list too," Libra agreed, also circling their names.

"Yeah, because they were also out on that mission," Aries put out.

"We were inform about this during Libra's mission which means the suspect are. . ." Capricorn wrote down their names.

Suspects
Cancer, Aquarius, Libra, Virgo, Scorpio, Gemini, Sagittarius, Taurus, Pisces, Aries and Capricorn.

"I think the three main suspects are Libra, Aquarius and Cancer, that General might be working with Vela, how else did he get the gem?" Aries paced around, her arms crossed.

"Taurus, Pisces and Sagittarius are off the hook, since they didn't make any encounter with anybody," Capricorn erased their names.

Aries yawned, her eyes shut tight, "All these thinking made me thirsty."

"You're just looking for an excuse to leave," Libra pointed out, Aries made a face, glaring at him.

To end their bickering, Capricorn changed the subject, "Cancer, Aquarius and Libra didn't even see the General, they're out too."

"And Aries too, she was with us and we didn't meet anybody" Libra smiled,  finally freeing himself.

"Leo hadn't gone on a mission at that time which means we're left with Virgo, Gemini and Scorpio, with Virgo as the prime suspect," Capricorn explained, erasing every other name.

"Has she being acting strange lately?" Aries asked.

Libra snapped his finger, in realization, "She has been asking a lot about our powers."

"Gemini seems to be getting too close Corvus room" Aries added, gasping.

"According to their story, Scorpio stayed the furthest away from the android," Capricorn stated, he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose,  the orange light that escaped the tiny portion of the blind, smeared on his face.

Only then did he realize it was sunset, they've spent the whole day on this case.

"We'll keep an eyes on the three of them," Libra yawned, his eyes were sore and his hair pointed at all directions.

"Let's go eat something, I'm dying," Aries effused, opening the door, Libra rushed out, exclaiming how tired he was. "Aren't you coming?" She turned to Capricorn who stood behind.

"Nah, I'm good," he shrugged, raking his tired fingers through his jet black hair.

"I don't know how to take no for an answer," Aries sneered, walking up to him, she grabbed his wrist, walking him out.

Capricorn smirked, walking behind her.

Everyone was downstairs, saying dumb things about Aries, Capricorn and Libra being in the same room and how they looked exhausted.

Corvus's door aggressively shut open and he walked out, looking more like a hobo each day.

Everyone grunted, for he only comes out for one reason.

-------

The door opened and a confused gasp escaped the lady's mouth. She flicked the lights on, since she could barely see a thing.

She sighed in relieve when when she saw that everything was in place, in fact the place was neater than when she left.

"Aquila, Lyra, I'm home," The brunette smiled, pleased with how lovely the place looked.

"Welcome home" A deep voice startled her. The Lady turned to see her two daughters standing beside an unfamiliar male, "Hi, I'm Orion"
