Saving The Zodiacs

Chapter 19:Alex

-Alex-

It was in the middle of the night I was cleaning up Cappy's lil accident. I had his hose spraying the blood into the ground. I scrubbed the blood off of the arrow and bricks that surrounded the garden. I got blood off of plants too. I picked the body up and took it into the wood where I buried him. I used bug sticks that I spent a couple hours sharpening to mark the grave. I staked them all the way around it. All of them were gonna stay there until someone came to pull them out. I walked back up into the house drenched in water from cleaning and sweat from digging a 6 foot grave and sharpening 18 6 foot sticks with my knife. I opened the door it made a loud screech. THE ONE TIME I NEED IT TO BE EXTREMELY SILENT! 'stop yelling at yourself idiot you'll wake someone up.' How would people hear that It was a thought. I took my shoes and socks off and left them outside. I snuck up the stairs but they made sure all of them creeked. I don't know why I worked so hard for Callie. She doesn't even like me anymore. I need to hang out with Lily before she leaves. I don't know when she'll be leaving. I'm going to prank her in her sleep. I went into my room and got changed. So what prank. I thought for a second, I'll just go with the good ol' "I've got your clothes" prank. She might think I'm a perv though because the only people I've pulled that prank on are roommates and my friends. I looked at my pajama pants. I don't even bother with a shirt. It's not like anyone's awake. I snuck silently into her room. I looked at what she wore to bed. She had the coves up to her waist so I could tell she was wearing a tank top, she had one leg outside of the covers she was either wearing really short shorts or underwear. I grabbed a trash bag and put all of her clothes in it. I snickered in my mind 'I hope you understand she is going to murder you' He said I don't really have a name for him. I'll make one up sometime. I snuck silently down the stairs with the trash bag full of her clothes. I went into the kitchen and ran right into Callie.I dropped the bag behind something before he turned around.

"What are you doing awake?" I asked her

"couldn't sleep how about you" I snickered

"I've been working on stuff" She turned around she had a steaming cup of tea in her hands.

"Did you want something" I shook my head

"Why don't you try to get some more sleep?"

"I'm not tired"

"Yes you are, you just don't know you are.I said walking up to her taking the empty cup out of her and setting it on the table and picking her up. I carried her up into her room set her in her bed. She didn't struggle but I used to play football. This isn't hard. When I finally got her to her bed she tried to set up.

"shhh" I said pushing on her forehead pushing her back down. I wrapped the covers over her shoulders and tucked them under the mattress on every side so that she couldn't escape. When I was satisfied with my work I returned to my objective downstairs. I rushed silently down stairs. I wonder if Ben's a light sleeper. I'm going to prank everyone in the house I am wide awake. I checked the time 2 AM. I have plenty of time. I took the trash bag out to the pool. I tossed it in and made sure it sunk to the bottom. What would Ben hate hmm I thought for a minute. Benny the Bunny I smiled evilly. ' everyone in this house is gonna kill you, idiot' I smiled I got a pink velcro dress out of my prank bag. I got the bunny ears then I was done with my prank bag. It was nothing on The holy closet of pranks but it's what I got. I went back downstairs and put the ears on him. I then gently put his arms in the dress. 'you do know this guy is going to literally murder you' I took cherry juice and wiped it on his nose and I used chocolate syrup for the whiskers. I moved on to my next victim, Sara. What to do... I looked at her she had long raven hair.I'm so mean. I tied all of her hair to the metal headboard of her bed. I made sure it was a tight knot too. I'm so evil not even mermaidman and barnacleboy can stop me. Next victim. I'm going to prank Spencer now. I wrapped his whole bed up with Saran wrap. I then moved on to the next victim, Virgo. so I snuck down the stairs and went into the kitchen. I got into the cabinet where is it flour and sugar should be and found them right where she left them. I took both of them out open the lids and switched them. It was almost 5:30 in the morning before he had pranked everyone I was beat. I had covered every floor in the entire house in bubble wrap, and pranked everybody in the house. I decided I was going to need some sleep before everyone tried to kill me. so I went to sleep and I woke up to the glorious sound of

"ALEX!" I couldn't tell who had yelled but this was going to be good. I came out of my room wondering in the hallway listening to the snap of the bubble wrap. I walked around trying to hear who was the head already woken up to their fabulous prank.

"ALEX!" I hear it again it was Spencer. I went into the doorway of his room and the lean there.

"You wanted me?" I laughed

"as soon as I get out of this I'm gonna WRING YOUR SCRAWNY NECK" He spat.

" I would help you out but ya know I don't want you to wring my next so bye" I left the room before he could answer me.

"LILY! I heard Ben yell from downstairs I went to him

"woah you look great didn't know you liked pink dresses but that's cool." He seemed like he was steaming. He took it off and stomped upstairs not realizing he hat the bunny ears on. He pounded on Lily's door.

"5 more minutes I heard her say.I was standing right behind Ben "WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES" I heard her screech. 'prepare yourself for death'. I eventually undid all my pranks and got her clothes out of the pool I let her borrow some of mine while all of hers were in the dryer.I helped untie Sara's hair from her bed. Then breakfast was ready. We all went down to eat. I scarfed mine down starving from all the work I did yesterday. We all finished eating and started to talk about anything and everything. We somehow got on the topic of Callie's lil accident yesterday. Adam said

"You killed someone! You need to learn to get a little self control Callie" He sneered. Callie started to cry. I boiled up with anger and became glad I was sitting right across the table from him. I slammed my fist into the table standing up fast so my chair flew back and hit the floor. I grabbed Adam by the collar

"DON'T YOU EVER MAKE FUN OF CALLIE AGAIN OR I SWEAR TO GODS I WILL TEAR YOUR SKIN OFF AND WEAR IT LIKE A SUIT!" I yelled and let go of him. Everyone in the room was scared to speak Cassie was crying with Callie. 'good job Alex you scared most of them and made Cassie cry' He said Callie hugged me.

"Thanks, your a great brother" 'you aren't him Alex you'll never be her real brother you're just a copy made when the printers already out of ink'

"what did you expect me to do?" I said sitting back down.
