That's Leo in the photo.^^ (I'm starting with the girls, then I'll draw the guys)
And I'm really sorry for not updating. In the future, I'll be faster.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Aquarius got out of class, feeling bored. Geography wasn't exactly the type of subject that let you have your own ideas.
He needed something exciting, adventurous and-
And he was starting to sound like Sagittarius. Gosh, he needed something to do. And fast.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The bell rang for lunch and the school corridors emptied. Aquarius decided to go to the library, where he was sure he would find Capricorn and Virgo.
It turned out he was right. Virgo and Capricorn were srudying what seemed like Science. At least they were better prepared than him.
Aquarius greeted them, and went to sit at a computer, next to Capricorn and Virgo.
He turned it on, but when he moved the mouse, a paper note slipped from underneath. The
Aquarius was too curious for his own good, so he read it.
It said:
It's only murder. If they find the body, it's only a missing person. =)
Pffft, Aquarius thought. Must be some kids playing around. And he tucked the note into his pocket.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
When he finally went outside to have lunch, he took his food and went to sit on a bench with Capricorn and Virgo.
"So," Virgo said. "Anyone got anything interesting to talk about?" She asked.
"Not really." Capricorn said, clearly bored.
"Actually, I found this weird note in the library." Aquarius said, handing it to Virgo.
"Hmm." Virgo said as she handed it to Capricorn. "Must just be some kids playing pranks." Capricorn nodded.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Aquarius said, as the bell rang and everyone went to class.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Capricorn sat down next to Virgo in the Maths room. Aquarius had History, so they had gotten separated.
The teacher stood up and started talking about algebra.
Capricorn opened his book and started taking notes. He was halfway down the page when he saw a piece of white crumpled paper stuck between his and Virgo's desk. Could it be...? No that would be too much of a coincidence. Reluctantly, Capricorn lifted the note and read it. It said:
So how do we get rid of the body?
Burn it?
No, too obvious. Maybe burn it?
Might work. We can even get the chemicals from the science department.
If they have any.
Capricorn shuddered. That was creepy stuff. And apparently two people were in it. Capricorn was starting to believe that maybe it wasn't just a joke after all...
"Capricorn!" The teacher said. "Answer the question!"
"Uhh... Umm... I-"
The bell rang. A perfect example of saved by the bell, Capricorn thought as he gathered his stuff and went out of class. As he walked towards his next class, he saw Virgo running towards him.
"Hey," she said. "You look... Thoughtful. Did something happen?"
"Umm... Well, kind of. I found another note. It's creepy stuff. But I'll tell you later." Capricorn said. "Gotta go to English."
"Okay." Virgo said. "I gotta go to science. See you after school, then." And she ran off to class.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Virgo sat at her usual place, and took out her book and pencils.
"Ok, class, so today we'll be doing the experiment we had planned for yesterday. Get into your groups, and let's get started."
Virgo went over to her group. It was her, Pisces, Saggitarius and- wait, where was Scorpio?
"Umm... Virgo, do you know where Scorpio is?" Pisces asked worriedly. "Me and Saggitarius can't find him and... We're worried..." Pisces seemed genuinly scared.
"Yeah, and he doesn't answer the phone. And his mom said he wasn't sick, and apparently he had left for school this morning." Sagittarius said. "But we didn't see him. Neither did anyone else we asked."
"It's okay." Virgo said, not wanting to see Pisces so sad. She wasn't being her usual cheery self. Virgo thought maybe she cared for Scorpio? But no, she'd be worried about anyone else. And Sagittarius... He wasn't being his energetic self. After all, he and Scorpio were pretty close. Virgo needed to comfort them. "We'll find Scorpio, you know how sometimes he wants some... Peace. He might be, uh, in a... Monastery, to, uhh... Find his centre?"
"Umm, okay." Pisces said, and Virgo could tell she was near tears, which was weird because as sensitive as she might be, Pisces never cried.
"Let's get to the experiment." Some of the colour was back in Saggitarius' face.
"Right," Virgo said. They followed the instructions, mixed the ingredients and did the tests. As Virgo went to wash her hands in the classroom sink, she found a white paper. Curious, she picked it up and read it:
Hey, can you spot any of the materials?
No, I don't think they have them here. It was stupid to look here.
Well, what else can we do?
I think I may have an idea.
Bring it on.
Not here. Not now.
Okay, this was definitely starting to freak Virgo out. She had to show Aquarius and Capricorn. She went back to her table. The experiment had ended, amd the bell was just about to ring, so she started to gather her stuff.
"Virgo," Pisces said. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, you look a little pale..." Sagittarius added.
"Oh, no, I'm fine." Virgo said. She wasn't going to show them the note. That would make them even more worried. Then the bell rang, and they left.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Meanwhile with Capricorn and Aquarius, in English:
Aquarius sat next to Capricorn. They were learning about "The Tempest", one of Shakespeare's plays. They were halfway in Act 4, when Aquarius found a piece of paper sticking out from between his and Capricorn's desks. Oh no. Not another note, please. And... It was. Thanks, whoever "listenened" to my plea..., Aquarius thought, sarcastically. The note said:
Maybe we should just bury the body. This is useless.
Didn't you say you had an idea?
And no, I told you before, burying it is too obvious. We'll get caught.
Well, we'll be caught just as well if we don't hurry up.
I know, but...
Let's just go to class.
Oh no, Aquarius thought. This couldn't be good. But for now, he had to comcentrate on the text. He'd meet up with Virgo and Capricorn later, anyway.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Meanwhile, with the killers...
"So, our targets are set."
"Mm-hmm. Capricorn, Virgo and Aquarius."
"We've just gotta make sure that no other sign gets in the way."
"Well if they do, we can always... Let them join the fun..."
"Haha. They have no idea..."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Virgo went to sit at her usual bench, hoping Capricorn and Aquarius would guess she was there.
And indeed, they did because after a few seconds, they came running towards her. Virgo bolted out out her seat and went up to them.
"Guys! You gotta see this." She said, as she held up the note. Aquarius and Capricorn both held up their own.
"Yeah, we found some too." Capricorn said.
"Now lets go somewhere else. There's too many people here, and we need to do some serious investigation." Aquarius suggested.
"How about my house?" Virgo suggested.
"Sure. Lets go." Capricorn said.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
They reached Virgo's house, went in, and sat on the tan couch in Virgo's living room.
"Ok. So let's face it - this is real. Not just some prank." Aquarius said.
"Yeah, it would be too much of a coincidence." Virgo agreed.
"So first, let's tell each other how we found these." Capricorn suggested, and esch of them told their story.
"Okay, so Scorpio is missing and Pisces and Saggitarius are worried." Aquarius concluded.
"Scorpio could be the killer." Capricorn suggested. "I mean, he's all mysterious and creepy."
"He could also be the victim." Virgo said. "Besides, we know there are two killers."
"Wait, lets try putting the notes in order. They might form a story." Aquarius said. They did so, and in fact, a story started to form.
"So," Virgo said. There are two killers, and they killed someone, and they decided to burn the body because burying was too obvious, so they tried and failed to find chemicals in the science lab to do so. Then one of the killers decided that it was best to bury the body but they had a disagreement. That's all we know for now."
"And that they're students in this school." Capricorn added.
"It's getting late. Hopefully we'll find out more tomorrow." Aquarius said, looking at the time.
Virgo nodded.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
