Starcrossed

Mansion - day 2.1

~ Taurus

After Gemini and Aries were busted, we all went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. 'What are you going to make yourself?' I asked Libra. 'Uhh, just a sandwich I guess' he shrugged, and looked away. Cute.
'And you?' 'Anything and everything. I'm hungry as hell' I said, he chuckled. I shrugged and walked to the fridge. Opening it, the thing that immediately caught my eye was a few brown, plastic cups with a foil lid. Pudding! Sweet, sweet chocolate pudding!
'I call dibs! I shouted and took two of them. Pisces' jaw dropped. 'Not fair!' she whined, and ran to the fridge, also taking a cup. 'Girls and their chocolate...' Sag stated, and shook his head. I sat down next to Scorpio and began devouring my pudding.
When finished, I got some milk and cereal. 'Jeez, Taurus, slow down' Sag said, I just shrugged. 'What? Never seen me eat before? I don't kid around with food!' I chuckled and continued.

After we all finished cleaning up, we just sat there. 'So, what now?' Aries said. 'Oh I know! Maybe we can explore the area around the house? We are surrounded by forest, after all' Gem suggested. There were mixed reactions, some happy, some too lazy to go outside. 'I don't feel like doing anything' Cap said. 'Well I think it's a great idea!' I responded, and got up. 'Okay, who's in favour of the forest, stand on the right. The ones staying home, on the left' I said. After a while, two groups were formed, the adventurous vs the lazy ones. The lazy ones were basically just Cap, Scorpio, Aries and Cancer. 'Don't get me wrong, I love exploring, only I'm too tired now' Cancer explained. 'Alrighty then, adventurers, come with me!' Leo said, and "lead" us to the front door. It was a sunny day out, so a perfect day to explore our surroundings. 'Should we split up?' Sag suggested, and most people nodded. 'In groups of four or two?' Pisces asked. 'Two, it's more practical.' Gem said. 'Well, who's with me?' I asked. 'I am!' Gem exclaimed and put an arm around me. 'Okay, we'll go... to the right!' I decided, and we waved goodbye to the others.

'Leo, are you coming with me?' I asked, she grinned and nodded. 'That leaves Libra, Virgo, Pisces and Aquarius' she said. 'I'll go with Virgo!' Pisces said and put an arm around her friend. 'Aqua, let's go left then!' Libra said, and they walked off. 'We'll go this way!' Leo said and pointed behind us. 'I guess we'll go that way' Virgo said and pointed in front of them. 'Good luck, see you soon!' I said to them, they waved and departed. 'Let's go!' Leo said to me, and we started walking. We reached the treeline, and heard all kinds of noises, leaves rustling, birds chirping. It was peaceful, and I liked it. 'This is amazing!' I softly said, Leo nodded. 'I mean, I love crowded places that are full of life, but this is very nice too' Leo said, looking around with big eyes. Why have I never noticed that they were hazel-coloured?

We walked on for a while, until I heard a familiar sound. 'Wait, you hear that?' I said, and held her back. We listened, and she grinned. 'Water, a lake!' she said, and we walked faster, towards the sound of water. The trees stopped, and we arrived at a big open space, with mud and, in the middle, a small lake. Leo high-fived me. 'I bet we did the biggest discovery of us all!' she said with a smile. 'I think so, too' I said, and looked around, satisfied. Leo walked towards the water and put a hand in, and tasted it. 'Leo! What are y-' I began, but she cut me off. 'The water's sweet, not salty!' she said. 'Of course it is, that's what most lakes are, dumbass' I said, and chuckled.

She growled and gave me a push, but grinned too. 'So what now? Should we go back and tell the others?' I asked her, she nodded. We started walking back again, searching for the others. 'Okay, so if we walk that way,' she said, pointing to the right, 'we'll probably meet Gem and Taurus, but if we go the other way, we'll see Aqua and Libra. You pick' she said. 'Um, let's go...' I hesitated, and pointed left 'that way' I finished. She shrugged and we started walking again.

After a long time of walking again, we heard footsteps and two familiar voices. 'Um, so should we go straight on, or-' I heard Libra, but Aqua cut him off. 'As if I know! We're lost and we'll probably just have to walk for eternity!' he sighed dramatically, Leo and I laughed. 'Hey Aqua, Libra!' I shouted, and waved. 'Sag? Oh my god finally!' Libra sighed in relief, and they ran toward us. 'We thought we were lost, I'm so happy to see you!' Libra exclaimed.

'Okay, so do you guys know what way we should-' '-AAAAH!!' Libra was cut off by a scream from far away. We looked at each other, worried. 'VIRGO!' we heard. 'Pisces and Virgo! We have to go help them!' Leo said, and ran towards the screams of pain. We ran after her, and arrived after a lot of running. 'Oh my gosh, what happened?' Leo said, hugging a teary-eyed Pisces and a crying Virgo. 'We-we were walking back and s-she suddenly screamed, and when I looked at her leg, it was all bloody and...' Pisces began to look like she was going to faint, so Aqua sat her down. 'Shh, calm down, we're here now.' he said, hugging her. 'Virgo, I'm just going to look at it, okay? Will you stop pushing me away?' Leo calmly said, and rolled up Virgo's pants.
