Zodiac Heaven and Hell

Momentary Peace?

"Ok I need you to not talk when we are up there, if you get a scratch on you your brother is gonna boil me in a lake!" Leo said while taking the first step up the stairs. "That's going to be hard...." Aquarius winced.

"Please don't kill me." Leo begged as they went up, Aquarius a bit frightened but didn't show it. "No promises." She mumbled under her breath. The light they were approaching made Aquarius feel cold, it didn't hurt, it just felt cold.

"You ok?" Leo asked, pausing for a moment. "Of course I am." Aquarius breathed in. "You seem nervous." Leo leaned in. "What makes you think I'm nervous?" Aquarius leaned back.

"You're clenching your hands, face is pale, and you seem fidgety, there is only one reason why you must be nervous." Leo waited a moment. "Because of me!" He winked. Aquarius scoffed. "You wish." He leaned in again, except closer. "Are you sure I'm not making you nervous?" Aquarius took short pants.

"No of course not." She stood her ground. Leo raised an eyebrow as if to say are you sure? "I'm fine!" Aquarius shut her eyes. "Ok ok. We are almost there." He backed off and turned his back. Aquarius stared at the ground. They entered Heaven territory and it was aggressive.

It felt like winter up here, being used to the heat, she shivered. Leo stood a bit closer to keep her warm, Aquarius didn't seem to mind. "What are you doing here?" Cap's eye twitched in anger. He was patched up with bandages wrapping his arm. Leo's big wings instinctively closed around Aquarius, to hide her.

Aquarius savored he darkness his wings offered as well as the warmth. "I have bad news." Leo said sternly. "Bad news? You being here is bad news!" Cap hissed. Leo's hands tightened into fists. Aquarius could see through he feathers, his angered face.

She parted the whit feathers and stood out. "And you brought her?!" Cap laughed.  Aquarius was still scared. "The Middle is planning to attack both our worlds, he has an army bigger then both of ours combined, King Scorpio is willing to make an alliance to fight him off." Aquarius said proudly.

Leo glared at everyone, scanning their moves.  "An alliance you say?" Taurus spoke from behind the crowd parted and bowed to him. Virgo seemed to have her armor back, Taurus must have felt bad. "Please?" Leo added.

Taurus squinted at him and then looked calmly at Aquarius. "Does this light not hurt you?" He asked, blinking. Aquarius stuttered and searched for an excuse, it was too late to fake it. "What exactly are you?" Taurus had his hands behind his back.

Aquarius gulped. Virgo scanned Aquarius. The last time she saw her was when she was injured, she seemed fine now but different. She seemed softer, and more emotional, like she actually cared about something. Something was really wrong, she could tell in her worried face.

"I repeat, what are you?" Taurus said a bit more forcefully. "I'm an Demon." Aquarius answered, with a steady voice. "Hm? Oh really?" Taurus pushed. "Yes." She remained calm. "Alright, I accept the alliance." Taurus walked next to her.

"I know you're hiding something." He whispered into her ear. Aquarius froze, the air around her got colder. Taurus walked off to make preparations, Virgo following. "Wait!" Aquarius called after Virgo.

Virgo stopped and seemed to hesitate to turn around but she did. "Look, we got off the wrong foot, I would like to say I'm sorry and I want to start over." Aquarius held out a gloved hand. Virgo glanced at her hand and then her face.

"We have to fight together anyway." Virgo rolled her eyes and took her hand. Aquarius smiled at her, it was more of a rivalry now. "Hey you ok? You look sort of...dead." Leo winced, looking at her. "It's just cold up here." Aquarius hugged herself.

"Can I make you warm?" Leo nudged and wiggled his eyebrows. "Touch me and your future to have a family will be ruined." Aquarius glared but she couldn't stop herself from cracking a very small smile. "Who said I would have a family?" Leo countered. Aquarius didn't answer. "Ohhhh did you have any plans?" He had the most cocky grin she had ever seen.

"Stop it!" She playfully pushed him. "Only if you let menace you warm." He sang. Aquarius looked around and people seemed to have disgusted looks on their faces. She backed away from Leo a little.

"Their watching." She whispered. "Soooo?" Leo wrapped an arm around her. Aquarius wasn't going to lie the warmth felt good, like hot cocoa on a cold winters day. Whispered were traveling all around her.

"Leo please..." Aquarius begged. "Oh alright." Leo backed away completely and looked at her scared face. "I'm so sorry! I'd I scared you!" He seemed worried. "No it's not you." Aquarius laughed and placed an cold hand on his cheek.

Leo held her hand, feeling how frozen it was. She dropped it to her side. "Taurus said he is coming in a few minutes." Leo said and turned his back. Aquarius heard rushed footsteps behind her, when he turned she saw a hand flung towards her.

A large crack filled the air. Aquarius's head whipped to the side. "Go back to the rat hole you came from." A man hissed. Gasps cake from the crowd. Leo turned around to see the man with his hand in the air for another whack.

The man's hand came down but it was stopped. Taurus was glaring in the distance, his crystal eyes seemed to glow as he used his powers.  "This lady has peacefully come up to ask us for help and we respond with violence? I will not allow that, 3 days in the Dark Zone." Taurus snapped his fingers.

Guards took the struggling man away. "Are you ok?!" Leo put his hands on both sides of her cheek and looked into her dark scarlet eyes. Her eyes were glistening, making it seem like she was about to cry, but no tears came. She sniffled and then stood up. One cheek was a blazing red.

"I'm so sorry!" Leo sighed. Aquarius put her hand out at him like she was saying stop. "Let's just go, I want to get out of here." She said dully. Leo nodded. "Let me just ask Taurus something.

"Taurus can you cast another spell on me?" Leo asked. "Alright." Taurus said quickly and waved his hand. "Where shall we meet?" Taurus asked. "In the Middle because we can all survive there." Leo said. "Be ready, but stay hidden, we battle tonight." Leo growled.

"You think he'll be alright?" Virgo shook her head. "I think he will be completely fine." Taurus smiled and tapped his foot.
