Leo is the king now, he didn't want the throne so soon, he just wanted to live out his young life for awhile, finally responsibility was put upon him, the responsibility of protecting the lives of thousands of people. He doesn't like to take things...
I sat up in my bed, panicked and in a cold sweat. I saw the monstrous figure with its bloodied teeth and claws, truly frightening. I quickly put a robe on and rushed to Leo's room. I had to tell him, it was happening soon.
"Oh? Virgo?" I heard Aquarius's voice behind me, making me freeze. "What are you doing awake?" I laughed nervously. "Just grabbing a bite to eat." She munched on a small cookie. "That's not good for you." I said. "Eh." She shrugged and shoved the whole thing in her point to prove that she didn't care.
"So what's wrong?" She noticed my worried face. "I had a vision, it was of the beast." I gulped. "So you're going to tell Leo?" Aquarius finished. I nodded. "Well don't let me stop you I'll get ready." She smiled. "But it's 4 in the morning..." I said. "Well whose to say that the beast isn't an early bird?" She raised her eyebrows and walked off.
That Aquarius, she was an odd one, but she did make sense. I walked directly to Leo's room, shivering against the cold that bit my bare skin. I gave a hasty knock and it opened almost immediately. "Hi!" He sounded more energetic then usual.
"Hi?..." I made a confused face. "Me and Aries are seeing who can stay up the longest, I had 6 cups of coffee." He spoke at a blistering speed, his body twitching with energy. "Ok you need to calm down." I said with an even voice.
"Sorry can't, the sugar is taking effect." He couldn't keep his hands still. "Ok, look, I had a vision about the beast, it's going to happen soon." I got to the point. "The beast?! I'm not prepared for this!" He starters yelling. "You literally have an arsenal of deadly humans living under your roof." I crossed my arms.
"Leo what's going on?" Aries's red hair popped out from behind. "The beast is coming!" He said with a scared tone. "Let's kill it." Aries clenched a fist. I then suddenly remember the vision I had yesterday, the blood staining a wall. "Maybe we should wait until next month." I said nervously. "What no! This could be our chance!" Aries stood up.
Leo was sitting on his bed, bouncing up and down. "No more sugar for you." Aries wiggled a finger. "Aw one more?" His speech started to slur. "No more." Aries said strictly. Leo's movement began to slow. "5." Aries rolled his eyes as he counted down. "4." Leo blinked slowly.
"3." Time slowed as he came down from his sugar high. "2." Aries put the last finger down. "1."
Leo flopped on his back and snored softly. "He crashed, I win." Aries smiled smugly. I ran back to my room and saw Aquarius wearing all black armor with a hoodie. "Where did you get that stuff?" I blinked. "The training room." She fixed her gloves on and attached two double edge swords to her sides.

This was completely different from what she usually wore to battles.
Scorpio POV
I walked down the dirt road, watching the trees sway in the glorious and refreshing wind. I could hear the trickle of water from the forest but I knew to stick to the path. "Where are you going?" An innocent voice called. I turned around and gave a confused look. Virgo?
"I'm going home." I answered. "Oh that's too bad I thought you could stay with me for a bit." She shrugged. I felt invisible hands pushing me gently towards her and I felt a fluttering in my heart I have never felt before. "Changed your mind?" She smirked. "Yes I did." The words just flowed out of my mouth, not corresponding to what I mean to say.
I put my arms around her waist and bent down, wanting to touch those soft lips. I got closer I could feel her warm breath on my face. "Scorpio!" I turned to see who was calling. Virgo still looked up at me. I tried again, nearing close. "SCORPIO!!!"
I gasped as I tumbled out of bed and fell in the floor, the blanket entangling me. "Ow...what the hell man?!" I rubbed my head as I sat up. "The beast is coming." Aries said with no emotion before leaving to wake up the next person.
Libra POV
I slept peacefully with my precious bow clutched close to my heart. "OY WAKE UP! A loud voice and pounding on the door startled me. I groaned as I went to answer it. I looked like a mess, my hair was tangled and sticking out everywhere, I had bad dark circles under my eyes, and not to mention my messed up drunk looking face.
"Yikes, what happened to you?" He winced at my appearance. "Nice to see you too." I hissed and rubbed my eyes. "The beast is coming, Virgo got a vision." He said and then walked off. I rolled my eyes and went into the bathroom to get rid of my morning face. It was way too early and as you can see I'm not much of a morning person.
Aries POV
Ugh I could have killed Leo but I didn't have it within me so now I'm stuck with wake up duty, why can't I just finish it and be done with it? It's not that hard! I killed hundreds of people before this.
I saw Gemini laying on the couch, snoring softly and a book on her chest, looks like she fell asleep reading. I picked the book up and put it on the table. I reached to shake her awake but her hand shot out and grabbed my wrist and twisted it painfully.
"Did you try and touch me?!" She said, astonished. "No!! I was trying to wake you up! The beast is coming!" I yelled in pain as she continued to hold my hand in a twisted position. "Sorry, reflexes." She let go and stood up. I needed to get equipped so I walked to the training room and grabbed a crossbow.
