Battle of the Zodiacs

{ 11 } The Fox

Melody's POV:
I asked Willow to be my partner while we were exploring the concentration camp. To be honest, I was nervous, and Willow seemed so brave. I also wanted to get to know her a little bit more.

"So, do we have a plan for this or are we just gonna wing it?", I asked trying to bring up something to talk about. "Hmmm... let's just wing it..!", Willow said with a cheerful grin. "So... is there anything we're supposed to be looking for?", I questioned. "N-Nothing!" Willow snapped.

I didn't respond, instead I just fed my Ice Dragon some fish. We had been walking through this long hallway that seemed to have no end.

We stopped a few times but it was just to listen to see if we heard any whistles. So far we haven't heard any, but we kept checking just in case. There was a bunch of different routes and other hallways, but Willow just kept going down the same hallway. I knew she was searching for something, but I couldn't find out what. I tried to put my mind off of it by constantly petting Apollo. Apollo was pleased and reflected the same affection back to me. That's what I always loved about Apollo. I feel like he's always been there. Even though we've only met about a week ago.

Willow's POV:
I felt really bad for getting pissed at Melody. I didn't just want to tell her, "Oh yeah, we're looking for an Ophiuchus shrine, so look for fallen angels surrounding a statue of a cloaked figure holding a snake!", She probably would freak out seeing as I told everyone to be looking for things that are able to be traded. I was worried that it might be a cursed concentration camp. I hadn't prepared the group for that. Hopefully no one throws up from all the horrific piles dead bodies stacked on top of each other.

Lucas POV:
I was really nervous at first when I asked Alina to be my partner. I just wanted her to like me, or at least know that I existed.

"So... um... w-where do you want to go..?", I asked nervous. "I don't know yet, let's just keep going down this corridor. Hopefully we can find some dead bodies! Uh I mean maybe we can find some good food! Heh...", Alina responded.
Wait, what did she just say..?

"Uh sorry, what did you say..?", I asked. "Oh it's been nothing!", Alina said quickly. We had been walking a while, and I could tell Alina was starting to get tired. We had taken a few turns from the hallway we were originally in. We found a room with piles of dead bodies stacked in each other.

"Oooo!~ Let's explore this room!", Alina said as her eyes widened seeing all the dead bodies.
"What?!", I said, but before I could stop her she was already in the room looking around.
"Damn. This one committed suicide", Alina said as she saw a long vertical scar across the arm of a teenage girl, around the age of 17. Alina pulled out some doctors gloves and started to examine people trying to find out how each person died.

"Where did you get doctors gloves?", I asked confused. "What? You don't keep gloves in your pockets?", Alina asked. "Um... no not usually...", I responded hesitantly, kind of freaked out. "You never know when you need to have gloves to make sure you don't get caught with your fingerprints on a dead body!", Alina replied. "Uh...", I responded now getting really freaked out.

Nevertheless, we continued checking the bodies for loot and how they died. Well at least Alina did, I just watched. "Look at this!", Alina said as she held a necklace and her hand. "Do you think it's valuable?", I asked. "Maybe! We can ask when this exploration is over!", Alina replied as she took the necklace from a middle aged woman. Alina found some more jewelry and a few other things that we thought looked valuable. I tripped over a rock and fell onto the concrete.

"What's wrong?" Alina asked, titling her head, confused. "Oh, um nothing I was just uh... rolling in the ground!" I said, trying not to look weird.
Sorry what did you say Lucas? God, now you did it Lucas! She'll think you're a pig! I thought to myself. "Oh, cool!" Alina said smiling.
W-what..? I thought to myself, nearly blurting that out loud.

Allie's POV:
Summer and I had been looking for some rooms with dead people in hopes of finding some valuables. We had only come across three rooms, but they were tiny. Summer was constantly trying to scare me. The first time I screamed. We heard a few whistles asking if someone was hurt. Summer whistled back telling them that we were alright. After that I was more aware of where Summer was. I managed to catch her trying to sneak up on me a few times.

One time, I tried to punch her but she managed to duck before my fist hit her. "I swear to god if you try to scare me again.", I said, rolling my eyes. "Huehehehe!", Summer responded playfully. "Ugh, sometimes you're even worse than Alina!", I responded getting annoyed.

Third Person Limited (Summer):
A rustle was heard. "What was that?", Summer whispered to Allie as she summoned her crab arm. "I don't know, let's find out." Allie said.

The two stood by each other back to back with their weapons out. The creatures were also on high alert. Summer's leopard hybrid was growling. "Who's there?", Allie called out, a little nervous. "Shouldn't I be asking the same?", A female voice called out.
Da fuck...? Summer thought to herself.
"ANSWER THE QUESTION!", Summer yelled.

A fox peeked out from a stack of bodies. The fox had black hair with streaks of blue, and a blue scarf. She was wearing a black jacket and a black short shorts. The fox was wearing long, black stockings. She had black fox tail and ears. She was wearing black boots. "What do you want?", The fox rudely replied, putting her hands on her hips.

This isn't going to turn out well...
