The Zodiac Story

Stranger

Virgo's POV///////////////////////////////////
Tears roll down my cheeks as I slowly climb up the stairs with wobbly legs. "I-I can't have done that! I-I won't be a zodiac anymore if I'm not innocent....", I mumble. It's true, I'll be kicked out of the house and set back to Mercury if I'm not pure. I'm the virgin, it has to stay that way. I want to scream, I want to cry, but I can't. I just can't. I think I want to talk to somebody but I don't know who. I have a few friends here.... well....only 3 really. Taurus, capricorn, and cancer. But I don't want to talk to Taurus or Capricorn cuz..... they're guys and..... cancer..... I honestly don't think cancer would be honest with me about this, she'd just try to tell me it's fine. I need somebody to tell it to me straight but also.... maybe make me feel better? I guess....

I continue to think about this when, I hear something.... almost like.... a dragging sound. "Huh?", I look up.

It's leo..... dragging Gemini up the stairs. I'm about to scream and run into my room when I remember that Aries knocked him out. She looks at me. "Oh, ay Virgo- ugh- you okay? You uh- hurg- look a little depressed.", she says, grunting occasionally as she lugs Gemini up the steps.

"Uh....well....", I stutter as I look away. "Hey hey, I know you don't feel right. I mean..... they could kick out out of the house,and give your month to li and myself.", she reasons. At her words I burst into tears. "Oh OH crap uh.... Sorry Virgo!! I-I'm......not very good at this kinda thing....", she huffs.... but I somehow know why. My tears cease as I look up to meet her embarrassed gaze. "Wait... THE Leo admitted she wasn't good at something.... just....to please me?", I ask, already filled with extreme admiration and a feeling that warms my heart. "Pft! Erm I just-", but before she could finish her protest I wrap my arms around her. "Thank you Leo.... You're so kind.... and to me of all people... why?", I ask, my arms wrapped around her petite body, and my head buried into her neck. "I uh-," she pauses to sigh half way through her explanation, "I don't know.... I.... I really shouldn't have.... I guess? I don't know......I sacrificed my pride and egoistic heartless image to help you.... and.... I have no idea why...", she trails off, her face as though she had just searched all through her soul but found no answer. I smile. "Because.... I think you're a lovely person.... and you didn't want me to be sad, not that you'd admit it to yourself though...", I smile, a little sadder, but a smile none-the-less.

She breaks the hug. "Virgo, You're still not completely okay yet... let's go back to your room so you can calm down okay?", she asks, wiping away my tears swiftly. "Okay.....Whatever you wish.", I say beaming.

Leo's POV/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

After a sweet conversation that led to many things, I think she's finally completely calm now. "Ya know, You're really a sweet and approachable person, when I first met you, I thought that I'd never even be able to get a word out around you, but I guess I was wrong.", she smiles. "Yeah I guess s-" "EY VIRGO!!! Guess what?! I got Aries to get you ice cream because of what happened!! Man blackmailing is so fun!! It's you're favorite!! Mint chocolate c- wait....." I look up at the door way and cock my head. "Oh...hello Leo....", Taurus trails off as he notices that I'm here. "uh.... what are you doing here Taurus?", I ask in confusion. "Same as you I'd expect.", he says curtly, and strides over to us and sits down. I shoot up. "LISTEN BUDDY! IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HIT ON ME JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED, YOU GOT ANOTHER THI-" "Leo! I'm no here for you!", he butts in, cutting me off. "Huh.." , I ask, although it was more of a question than a statement. He looks up at me, his eyes impatient and fixed on me. "Leo, stop. I can't deal with you and care for Virgo at the same time Kay?", he growls and turns to Virgo. "Here.", he says, as he gives her the ice cream along with a spoon. "Oh.... thank you so much Teo! That's really thoughtful of you!", she beams and opens the carton. "Of course!", he smiles happily at her. "Wait.... what?", I ask in disbelief. He turns to me again. "Really? Leo.... I can care for people too... After all I'm technically human as well.", he smiles, his smile makes me feel stupid, yeah, that kind of smile. Seeing my reaction he laughed at me. "What? Did you actually think that I was just a pervert and that was it? Come on! Did you think that I got to be an actual zodiac and the ruler of Venus by hitting on women? Dang..... wait Virgo.... d-did I make that image for myself?", he says, asking a question in his scolding of my actual thoughts of him. "Not to me, but the others do think that of you, yes.", she says truthfully as she gobbles up the ice cream. " Dang... but either way.... you really need to look deeper into people... if I were somebody else you might have gotten I to trouble...", he says, acting almost like he knows better, but I can't tell. "But I do! That's Leo! That's what..... actually made me beat the others when I became a zodiac. It's just..... what you made yourself seem like was so convencing, I couldn't see past that.", I say sheepishly. They look shocked. "Really?", he asks. "Yeah.... I almost lost. To a person named Zaner I believe.... I only won because the last trial was writing an essay on your most powerful skill, and I wrote of random people and how they were examples of how to understand what people are like. So, That's how I became a zodiac." I explain. "oh really.... that's intense... I'm sorry Leo I-I.... I shouldn't have corrected you without knowing first..", he appolagizes, truly embarresed by his own words. "Oh it's cool, I promise.", I smile at I'm. He returns it and I realize something.

I've met these people before, but I'm only truly meeting the real them right now. How many others have I seen through, but missed entire phases? Torture, love, happiness, pain? Have I really been neglecting my only original skill, and more importantly, the people around me?

I smile.

But these 2.. one I should hate, and one I shouldn't care about, I'm so drawn to them. Somehow, they both saw how parts of I, Myself, was before even I knew it? Maybe my gift has been used in all the wrong ways. From now on, I'm going to try my best to get to know all the people in this house. For many reasons I will, but one stands out above the rest as the closest to my heart :Because knowing other people, will help me meet the stranger that I should have met a long time ago;

Me.

Hey guys!! I'm sorry! It's been 3 months, I know!! But I know that I need to give more personality to all the characters, even Leo, but to do that, I needed to: research, make webs make lists, re-do all of that because I lost it, and actually make the chapter. So my bad... But anyways I hope this was better and yeah.... there's gonna be side- love stories and I've already shown 2 other than Leo's, and there will be more than that. And If you want a specific love story (that does not include :leo, gemini,aries, or saggitarius, (because I'm planning to have a few love triangles but not with these characters because there already in a 4- way one... a love square), then feel free to tell me. But they have to be compatible, I cannot have it any other way because the signs gotta be stereotypical, sadly. But just tell me. Somebody asked me to do Virgo x Taurus but I already had the idea for this chapter so I was like: oh yeah I don't even have to change anything, woohoo! But anyway!! Thanks for reading!!!!
