In the Eye of the Virgo

Chapter 7

I hugged myself, not knowing what to do next. How do I react to these kind of situations? Do I hide forever or do I confront them? I thought that the best choice was to hide out for a little while, maybe this will all wear away soon, right? Considering that it's the Zodiac Signs we're talking about, this won't just blow away.

There are at least twelve signs, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. As far as I know, only eight of the signs have joined forces. They were also the most powerful ones to, this is going to be fun, I thought.

All I need to do is to find Gemini, Libra, and Pisces. Piece of cake right? Wrong! All of the zodiac signs were scattered around the world, who knows where they all were located! It could take months, years, decades! I only had a matter of time before they found me, so how am I going to get all of the other signs together that fast? My powers are strong, but not that strong!

I woke the next morning to a sharp knock at my door. I mumbled and got up out of my bed to answer it. Fixing my appearance while looking into the mirror, I looked through the peep hole to find a young girl waiting outside.

I sighed and opened the door cautiously. "Hello?" I asked looking down into the girl's bright eyes. She smiled at me and gave a small wave. I nervously waved back. "Hello!" She answered cheerfully. I smiled and peered behind her just to be safe.

"Hi, how may I help you?" I asked. "Oh! I was wondering if you knew anything about something my parents. They've been missing for a while and I'm looking for them." She answered nervously. I tilted my head and beckoned the girl inside.

"Sure, what are they're names, honey?" I asked politely. "Jeff and Myriah Rose." The girl answered looking around my home. I stiffened in place as the familiar names echoed in my ears. Jeff's missing? No, it can't be! He's the only part of family I have left! He can't be missing!

"When did they go missing?" I queried. The girl frowned. "A week ago. They were on a business trip. They said something about finding a sign-whatever that means." The girl answered as her eyes went downcast. My heart broke in pieces as I looked down at the girl. I have a niece. I have a niece and Jeff didn't tell me about it. Mom and Dad didn't tell me about it! Anger burned inside of me as I tried to rein it in. I told him not to go on a mission I was assigned. Did he listen? No!
