Project Zodiac: Pisces, The Fish

Chapter 3

I started to see images from the gray vision.

Our house.

The men in suits were knocking on our door. My mom opened it after a minute. I saw a small talk happening but I can't hear anything.

One of them has a handkerchief and he covered my mom's mouth with it. I saw mom lose her senses. And the man carried her to the black van they brought.

My mother is kidnapped.

I woke up in a bed. I felt the cold air of the air conditioning. I stood out.

"Hey!" A woman called.

I ignored her. I ran to the door. And I found myself on our school corridor. And that must be our clinic. I ran to my bike and I saw the same newspaper from yesterday. The wind flipped the pages.

And it stopped on the horoscope section. Then I saw it again. And I don't know what came on my mind but I said the word again.

"Pisces."

I feel like my brain is being cut in half. I closed my eyes because of extreme pain. I fell on the ground. I felt the pain on my right hand. And It's like something is being attached to my mind.

When it stopped, I opened my eyes. And something is wrong with my vision. I closed my right eye. My vision turned normal. But when I closed my left eye and opened my right, everything seems so clear.

It's like wearing gray contact lenses. Things have the shade of gray color but not entirely gray. And when I opened them both it's like having different views of the same picture.

Let's go Zac. A voice in my brain talked.

It's Pisces.

"What the-"

No time for explanations. We don't have much time. Do you want to save your mother or not?

Shit. My mom.

"Let's go." I said and was about to ride my bike.

No. We'll be late.

"Huh?"

Hold on.

0I felt an uncomfortable feeling. My insides are grumbling and my body is shaking.

And in a split second, everything have gone black.

It's like being sucked inside a vacuum cleaner. I can still feel the force pulling me.

When I opened my eyes I'm no longer at school.

I'm at our front door.

Go. She's still there. What you saw is just a small vision of the future. Hurry. They're coming. Pisces shouted on my mind.

No time for asking questions. I knocked.

"Mom!" I called.

She opened the door.

I hugged her. Her face is buried on my chest and I brushed her short black hair with my fingers.

I will never let them have my mom.

"What's the matter Zac?" She asked.

I pushed her inside and locked the door. I put our sofa and other furniture to block the way.

"Zac! What are you doing?!" My mother shouted behind me.

"Mom, listen"

"What happened to your eyes? Why is your right eye grey? What's that scar and your hand? Oh no, are you taking drugs Zac?" She asked in awe as she checked on the symbol of Pisces in my hand.
