Zodiac world crisis

Tensions

The storm had passed and Taurus was the first to go and check if it was safe. He looked side to side very cautiously. "Ok let's head back." He waved a hand. The scorching sun sizzled their skin. Libra's throat felt so dry, when she spoke her voice was hoarse.

"We need water..." Sagittarius said. "We just need to make it back, we only have one day." Taurus encouraged. Everyone groaned and followed.

Capricorn and the others had finally made it down. Gemini was unconscious in his arms. He gently laid her on the ground. "Pisces take care of her, me and Aries will go get the flag." Cap said. "What me?!" Pisces was flustered from being put on the spot.

Aries raised an eyebrow as if to say please. "Oh fine, but I'll try and take her back so if we aren't here then go back to the entrance." Pisces sat next to Gemini and shooed her hand. "Well go!" She said. Cap was hesitant on his decision but turned the other way.

"We need to be quick." Cap started jogging. "Alright captain." Aries joked. "Don't." Cap said forcefully. "Ok ok!" Aries laughed and jogged in time with him.

Aquarius was flung to the side. She gasped as the air whooshed out of her. The beast swung a large paw. Aquarius ducked in time, letting it's paw hit the tree. The tree had four long slash marks on it as a result.

She kept and eye on the tree Leo was hiding against. She had no weapon and she was getting tired. The beast sniffed around. "It's blind?" Aquarius thought. It must rely on sound. Aquarius squinted and stood still.

The beast seemed lost and was turning its head over and over. As long as they don't make a sound they could get away. Aquarius slowly went to where Leo was. She froze and the beast grunted and snorted.

Leo reappeared and clung onto Aquarius. He was bleeding all over the place, his face was dreadfully pale. Aquarius arm stung but she paid no attention to it. She brought Leo up and carefully started going in the opposite direction, hoping it was the way back.

Leo couldn't help but make a noise of pain. Aquarius clamped a hand over his mouth and froze, waiting for the beast to lose interest. It sniffed and then walked in the other direction.

Aquarius let out a sigh of relief and began walking. "Leo? You ok?" She could finally ask again. "No not really..." He choked on his words. "Come on we can stop somewhere and I can bind your leg and sting the blood." She pushed him a bit further just to be safe.

"Virgo?" Scorpio asked. Silence. "Virgo?" He said a bit louder. He concentrated on her. I can't believe I killed them! I'm so screwed, I am so stupid! "Scorpio stop reading my mind." She said scornfully.

"I can feel your eyes on me." She said. "Don't beat yourself up, it wasn't your fault, they are alive, they have to be." Scorpio sighed and sat next to her. "Let's go back to the entrance and wait, people are bound to come back." He put an arm around her.

She scooted a bit closer to him. "But the flag..." She said. "We looked all night! It's not here." Scorpio scoffed. Virgo was tired she wanted to sleep. "Ok...lets go back." She agreed. They were fairly close to the entrance, it took about half and hour to get back.

"That was closer then I expected." Scorpio said and plopped on the ground. "Ya.." She sat next to him. "Hey guys!" A voice called. Virgo stood up in excitement. Pisces  and Gemini can through the bushes. Gem was awake and looked better but she looked exhausted.

They sat next to them. "What happened with the rest of the group?" Scorpio asked. "They found the flag! It was on top of a mountain so they went to get it, Gem has some altitude problems so they told me to take care of her." Pisces explained.
