The Zodiac Story

Backstage Crew

Leo's POV / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Everyone was so happy to see me arive but... I frown as I look around. There seems to be only 22 people in the room counting myself, and since Zander is chained to the fridge, that makes one less than there needed to be. I recount. No I'm sure I was right it's still only 22. Then... if someone really is missing..... who is it?

I look around and find the pairs of two, cancer, scorpio, aries, Gemini... wait... pisces where's pisces? I look around. "Hu... guys? Where's Pisces?", I ask, still looking around to see if I missed him. Everyone looks around after I say that. "Uhhh-" "He's probably just trying to pull one over on us again!", Aquarius growls, cutting off Aries. Aries frowns, but just sighs. "If he's not in here he's probably in his room? If you want you can go see what he's up to, might even give us a heads up?", he asks. The others nod in agreement. I nod. "Yeah, kay. I'll be back!", I say, saluting to the room and turning around and up the stairs as fast as I could go.

Pisces was on the second floor if I remember correctly, one below mine. I look around at all the symbols on all the doors, still not finding the one I wanted. Until, I found one that looked mildly similar to Gemini's. "There you are....", I whisper, walking towards the door at the end of the hall. I creep closer to the door as quietly as I could. I'm not sure why I did, I just felt like it was appropriate for this situation. I place my hands in the knob and take a deep breath. Then, I open it and walk in.

It was pretty.... cool actually. It had mini waterfalls all over the place and gardens! The floor was cobble stone under my feet and the walls looked to be made of stone. Very zen.

Then I look up to see a figure looking out the window. I'm about to say hello when he beats me to my words. "So... you finally made it...", he asks, it was more of a statement than a question though. I'm a tad confused to be honest with you. "Uh.... yeah I guess?", I say in a voice that unmistakably showed my confusion. He just laughs at me, it was almost scary. I begin to feel a little uneasy.

"Took ya long enough though. For such a praised girl you really are slow.", he growls at me from on his perch. Okay this was just a little too creepy for me. "Yeah okay I'll just be... uh, going now!", I say akwardly and turn around to leave. But, the door slams itself in my face with a loud noise. "Why leave so soon? You just got here after all.", he says, his voice now noticeably darker than the voice I was used to hearing. Then, he stands up and starts to walk towards me.

Only now did I get a good look at him. He was dressed in dark clothes, a black vest and a red dress shirt, a black cross necklace hung from his neck. Only now did I also see the cigarette in his fingers, lit and half way to the nub. This was not the innocent zodiac boy, not even close.

He stops right in front of me and takes a long drag on his cigarette, then he looks at me. "So, you figured it out yet?", he asks with a smile. I think for a bit, then shake my head. "No. You were the one causing all the fights.... you were making everyone dislike each other.... but, you're the last person I would expect to do something like that!", I explain, confusion raising my voice like a son of a bitch. He frowns at me. "Wow, you really are slow aren't you?", he spits. He looks at me for a while, waiting for me to say something back, but I have nothing to say, at least not yet. Then he turns away and sighs. "Do you really have no clue about any of this? None at all?", he whispers, his eyes flicking to differnt places, desperatly trying to comprehend my incompetence. I just shake my head. We look at each other for what seemed like forever. Then, he smiles at me. "Oh really then? Well, I guess I'll just have to tell you!", he laughs. Then he grabs my arm and pulls me closer to him. I flinch and make a suprised sound but I don't resist, I'm interested about his motives.

"You see... things are... boring here. And, well... since you seem to be liked by many people, you're a perfect target. So, since you're also ignorant, I decided to play a few tricks.", he laughs, taking another drag on his cig. I tilt my head. "You gave me a concussion and a broken wrist just because you were bored?!", I growl. (like holy shit why) He shakes his head. "Well actually, I never thought you yourself would get hurt, I just thought that the knuckleheads would throw down a bit. But hey, I got to play a few pranks while you were asleep so it all works out.", he boasts, looking prouder than he should be in this situation. My face goes hot as a feeling burns in my chest. I look away. "You're disgusting.", I whisper, putting on my cool exterior even though that wasn't how I felt at all. His smug expression turns into a frown as he eyes me with a fleck in his eyes. "Oh really?", he mutters. Then, he grabs my wrist and pushes me against the wall with no other warning and looks own to where I can't see his face. "Euh?", I expel, my surprised sound escaping from my lips. "Do you even have the right to say such a thing?", he whispers with a laugh and a menacing smile curls onto his lips. My eyes grow into saucers. Does he...is he really that low?!
