Zodiac Battles

Chapter Five

Paige's pov(Virgo)

As Paige dashed down the stairs, just barely making the 15 minute mark, there was a knock on the door.

"I got it!" Paige yelled. She pulled open the door to see a woman with amber eyes and blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. She was wearing a black skirt and a galaxy designed short sleeved shirt.

"Hello. I'm Raina Hunting. Would you mind if I came in?" the woman said.

"Alright," Paige replied, opening the door further to let her in. She walked in and sat down on the couch. "I can go get my dad if you want."

"No need. I'm here to talk to you," Ms. Hunting said. Paige was shocked.

"Me? I don't mean to be rude Ms. Hunting but, why me?" she asked.

"Please, call me Raina. I'm going to be straightforward with you because I know you can handle it. You are a constellation, not a human," Raina said.

"Excuse me?" Paige said.

"You are a constellation. Virgo specifically. Now I know this is shocking, but bear with me here," Raina said.

"Oh, I know Virgo! The virgin and the smart sign!" Paige said. She had always loved the fact that her sign was the smart one. She had always taken pride in her smarts.

"Correct," Raina said. "You are that constellation. Now stay with me here. I know you don't believe me, correct?"

"Correct."

"Well, try teleporting over there." Raina pointed over the the bottom of the stairs. "Don't shoot me down. Just try." Paige sighed. She focused on appearing over at the bottom of the stairs. For a mintue, nothing happened. Then, she fell onto the staircase.

"Ow!" Paige shrieked. Then she looked around. "How... did that... actually work?"

"Like I've mentioned, you're the constellation Virgo. That gives you strong magical abilities. It also makes you a great target for our enemies," Raina said.

"Okay. Fine. I believe you, but my dad never will," Paige said.

"I can handle that," Raina said. "Where is he?"

"Kitchen." Raina walked off to the kitchen. There was some casual conversation and then it turned to yelling. Rebecca walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Paige walked over and joined her.

"Do you have to leave?" Rebecca asked. Paige nodded.

"It's the only way I'll be safe. I'm sorry I have to leave you Rebecca," Paige said. Rebecca sniffed a little and Paige could tell that she was trying not to cry. Paige wrapped her arms around Rebecca and hugged her, trying to comfort her. Soon, Raina came back out with Paige's dad behind her.

"You can go Paige. I don't like this, but if you'll be safe, then you must go," her dad said. Paige nodded. Her and her dad weren't very close, so neither of them were really so sad they were crying, but they still hugged. Paige turned to Rebecca. Rebecca's eyes shone with oncoming tears. Paige opened her arms and Rebecca flew into them, sobbing. Paige could feel tears coming to her her eyes as well, but she held them back for the sake of her sister. Rebecca squeezed her hard, and then let go. Paige kissed her forehead and wiped the tears from Rebecca's eyes. Then she turned to Raina.

"Should I go pack?" she asked. Raina shook her head.

"No. Everything will be in your room at our final destination," Raina said. Paige turned to Rebecca.

"Take whatever you want from my room, so you can remember me, okay?" Rebecca nodded and ran up to Paige's room.

"Time to go Paige," Raina said. Paige followed her out the door and to a black limo. Raina opened the back door and Paige climbed in. It was dark inside, so it took a few seconds for her eyes to adjust.
