Uh oh, I'm sorry it's been a week! Hehe, I'm not very good at punctuality... I'm sorry!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Aquarius entered the school gates. He had spent most of the night thinking of the mysterious notes, so he had barely gotten any sleep. He still had about 20 minutes before class though.
He had asked Virgo and Capricorn to come early too, so they could talk. They hadn't come yet. Surprisingly, Pisces, Libra and Gemini were already at school too. Aquarius decided to go talk to them, since he had nothing to do anyway.
"Hey." He said adls he reached the three girls.
"Hey!" They all said, almost in unison.
"So... Why are you three here so early?" Aquarius asked.
"My mum had to take my little brother to school a bit earlier, so I came along." Gemini said.
"Me and Pisces have to interview a teacher, for English, and she is only available this morning." Libra explained.
Pisces nodded. "In fact, we should be on our way. Bye!" And they hurried off towards the classrooms, leaving Gemini with Aquarius.
At that moment, Virgo and Capricorn reached Aquarius and Gemini.
"Hey, Aquarius." Virgo greeted. "Gemini, too." She added with a smile.
"So..." Capricorn said a bit awkwardly. Aquarius knew exactly what he meant. They shouldn't really let Gemini know about the notes. They had to somehow drive her away. Virgo seemed to understand, too.
"Wait, let me just put my things in my locker." She said. Perfect oppurtunity! But...
"Come along, Aquarius. I have your maths book, remember?" She added.
Aquarius sighed. It was true.
They reached her locker and she took out his maths book, but somehow all the books in her locker fell out.
"Oops!" Gemini said, and bent to catch them.
"I'll help you." Aquarius said, as he bent to help her.
"Thanks," she said, as Aquarius grabbed the Geography books. As he did so, he noticed a spark of white out of the corner of his eye. He gave her the geography books, and went to examine it. Lying beside the rubbish bin near the lockers was a white peace of paper - a note! He caught it and put it in his pocket.
"Aquarius...?" Gemini asked, confused. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I just- I have to go. Sorry Gemini!" And he ran off to Virgo and Capricorn, leaving Gemini, grinning, behind.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
I'll write more in a few hours, maybe two.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
OMG I am such a bad author... I was like: "Oh I'll update in like an hour!" And I took lile two months... Really...
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Aquarius came running towards Virgo and Capricorn, grabbing them and pulling them to a safer place.
"Look what I found..." He said, as Capricorn leaned over to see what he was holding, though he knew what it was anyway.
"A note. Another note." Virgo said, taking it. She read it quietly:
"What were you thinking?! Now we have two bodies to dispose of. As if one wasn't enough.
Well, we needed to eliminate her either way for our plan to work, so...
Okay, you do have a point. But I think I might have the best place for this. Besides, if we can't find anything in the science lab, we could just go buy something off some shop.
Nope, then it would all lead to us. No risking.
I know some people...
Hmm... Okay then, let's see about that..."
Just then, the bell rang.
"Looks like we'll have to examine this later." He said, sighing. "For now, I'll keep it." He added taking the note as he started to head to Maths with Aquarius, while Virgo went to Art.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Virgo entered class. She sat down mext to Saggitarius and Cancer, as usual.
"Right class. Everyone here?" The teacher said.
"N-not Leo..." Said a small voice at the back of the class who almost never raised their hand. "I haven't seen her at all today." Said Pisces, looking a bit worried, and she had reason to be. First Scorpio, now Leo?
"Okay. Let's start class, shall we?" The teacher said. Everyone opened their books, and the lesson began. The teacher gave them an assignment, and Virgo started straight away. Virgo was pretty good at Art. She was halfway when she decided to stop and look around the class at everyone. She wanted to analise every single person for suspicious behaviour, (A/N: Wow, Virgo, not creepy at all...) but just to find everyone working as usual. Pisces completely concentrated, moving the pencil as if it was an extension of her hand rather than a tool. Pisces only ever concentrated while drawing, reading or doing creative writing. Otherwise, she'd unconsiously slip into a daydream in the middle of a lesson, but she worked like a sponge - she absorbed information even without noticing - so when she was woken up by a question she knew the answer, magically. That way, she didn't even have to study to get perfect marks in tests - lucky!
(A/N: Actual crazy Pisces trait... I did some research. Go you, Pisces out there!)
Aries, as usual was trying to copy Pisces. Aries was also pretty good at art, but she "worshipped" Pisces' art so... She just copied and turned it to something of her own. Kind of like when you watch a drawing tutorial. They had a pretty unusual friendship, Pisces and Aries. The only person who was there to see it all the way was probably Virgo, even though she never took part. The two were almost opposites, and yet they were best friends since anyone could remember - supporting each other all the way.
(A/N: That is a story for next chapter!)
Then there was Saggitarius... He was artsy, yeah, but... He was to busy having a paper ball fight with Taurus to notice. The two were... Well, Virgo pretty much had no idea how good they were at art, since they never did anything productive.
Cancer, on the other hand was pretty balanced. Harworking, but still a bit chatty. His art was good, too. Perhaps because he actually listened to the instructions.
Libra was sitting next to Cancer. She really liked art too, and would often exchange drawing ideas with Pisces. She had a more colourful style, having all kinds of colours in her drawings, while Pisces preferred drawing in pencil, or colour tones of blue, green, and purple.
Okay, Virgo was getting really sidetracked. Finish work, then do creepy analisations of her friends. Priorities!
She finished her work quickly, and just in time the bell rang, and the class emptied. Virgo was pretty surprised to not have found any notes... But then again, it would've been a really weird coincidence if they found one in every class each of them went. Perhaps the killers didn't like art? (A/N: Fun fact, they actually both love art! Hagrid voice: I shouldn't have said that, I shouldn't have said that... Will you forget that? No? Okay...)
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Aquarius saw Virgo and went to talk to her. They still had five minutes until break.
"Virgo!" He called, as he reached her. She turned to him. "What?" She asked. Aquarius pulled out the note he and Capricorn had found in his Maths book. "Another one?" Virgo sighed. "Have you read it?" She asked. Aquarius shook his head. At that moment, Capricorn came. "Sorry guys, I was talking to the teacher. Apparently Scorpio is still absent and now-" he said.
"And now Leo." Virgo interrupted. "Pisces mentioned that in Art." She added.
"But listen guys, I'll read out the note."
He started to read it quietly:
"Do you think they know? Our targets...
I've seen them around with our notes! What now?
Now we have to be more... Careful... Where we leave them.
I really thought if anyone found them, they'd think it was a prank.
But wait, this can be an opportunity... It can make us closer to our... Goal...
I'm all ears, smartipants.
Not here. Not now."
"Okay, woah..." Virgo said.
"That was creepy." Capricorn concluded.
"Guys... Don't you see? They know we know. They'll come after us..." Aquarius said, and everyone's facial expression turned grim.
"We'll meet at break. I'm sure we can figure it out." Capricorn said, and they all went to their lessons.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Well I'm surely punctual...
Sorry!!!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Aquarius entered his lesson. All this stress made him just want to go back in time and ignore the notes. Sure, people were getting killed, but it was none of his business. He needed to focus.
That thought didn't last though, because the teacher announced Leo had gone missing. Ugh, the new girl, already? Not another victim. This was getting out of control. Taurus was sleeping on his desk, and Sagittarius was throwing paper balls at him. Aquarius found it rather weird how they seemed not to care. But really, they didn't even know Leo. Gemini, on the other hand was tapping her feet nervously and biting her lip.
Essay, essay... He needed to focus on his essay. It was about how Shakespeare explores the contemporary views of slavery and freedom in his play "The Tempest". Pisces and Libra had gotten a free lesson, since they somehow finished they essays super early. Lucky, Aquarius thought.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Capricorn stood in shock. What had the teacher just said? No, no, no... It couldn't be. She couldn't be missing, not her. Capricorn was sure worried for Leo, Cancer and Scorpio but Virgo... When the teacher announced she'd gone missing he'd almost had a heart attack. Now his hands were scratched bloody and he couldn't focus at all. He had to talk to Aquarius. Please ring, please ring, please-
RIIINNGGGGGG!
Yes! The bell! Capricorn got his things and ran out of the classroom, leaving a confused class behind him.
He ran through the hallway to Aquarius. "AQUARIUS!" He screemed. The other boy almost jumped.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Capricorn! What are you doing? Did something happen?" Aquarius asked, startled.
"YES!" Capricorn said, out of breath. "She's gone."
"Leo?" Aquarius asked. "I knew that already."
"N-no. Not her." Capricorn said, panic clear in his eyes. "Virgo."
"No way..." Aquarius was bewildered. It couldn't be true.
"Y-yes way." Capricorn said.
"This should never have happened. We should have left it alone. I should've ignored the notes. I shouldn't have dragged you two into this. No. It's all my fault. MY FAULT." Aquarius was despairing. No no no no no. It was all his fault!
"No! Aquarius, we all found notes. You didn't just tell us. It us not your fault! We don't even know if she's dead! But we have to find her. Right. Now."
"Yes, yes we have to." Aquarius said plainly, and that night he went home, and stared at the ceiling all night, sleepless.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Well that was... Dramatic... :d
