The Life of the Zodiacs

The Break In

"So she's finally sleeping, huh?"

"Yes, and it's been about 8 hours now"

"What! Why didn't you tell me sooner, Sag?! I coulda just dumped her ass in there and knocked her out!" Aries yelled and cursed, angry no one told him how hard his little sister was working

"I don't really think she would've let your sodding arse even pick her up" Sag sassed

"Both of you, knock it out" Scorpio intervened and smacked both their heads "You're waking her"

It was true. Capricorn was mumbling and moving around. They closed the door and went to the living room, where Gemini and Leo - now looking more like teenagers, thanks to Libra's 'Agefier' - were trying to break into Capricorn's office and being royally blown out by dark magic.

"Looking for these, boys?" Sagittarius asked and lifted the office keys in his finger. Nice.

The troublemakers looked up smirked to each other. They planned this, of course they did.

"Okay Weasley's twins, get out of there"

" Oh come on Aries, you really don't want to know which job she picked for us?" Leo asked

"Not really. She'll tell us when it's time"

"But imagine, she could've put you as a professor. Or a day care teacher" Gemini chimed in

I grimaced at the image of me taking care of human children.

"Or maybe, she put Sag as a factory worker. And Scorpio as an assistant of some fashion industry."

Sag and Scorpio fear and disgust flashed in their eyes.

"Now, we're just talking bullshit here. Cap knows us, she would never put us on something we don't like" Scorpio tried to unsuccessfully reason with them

"Maybe, but you seen her. She was exhausted, falling to the ground. What if she made a mistake and that weird ink of her doesn't lets her change it?" Leo continued making poses while being overdramatic

"Could that happen?" Aries asked himself  "Could that really have happened? It's possible. She never sleeps more than 7 hours, never! And I really don't like that magical ink of hers"

"We aren't really considering this, are we? I mean, it's Captain Cap we are talking about in here!" Scorpio chimed in. She was completely taken aback by this. Sincerely, so were the others, but maybe....

"Fine" Sagittarius said finally " but you're the ones who will pay if we get caught"

They opened the door and went inside.

It was dark and the curtains were pulled over, so it had a certain grim ambience. The desk ahead was black and possibly from the neoclassical era, the books over it formed a perfect line along with the quill and pencils. The paper telling their jobs was right ahead of them, but seemed a thousand steps away.

The bookshelf was full of all sorts of books organized by size in their respective categories. Magic, Necromancy, Fiction, Poems, Biography's and Science were all there along with a few others. There were objects by the walls that none of us recognized: a 'Erused ' mirror, an cup full of... something, skulls, and many portraits of painted monsters.

Scorpio was the first to take a step inside and survey the surroundings, marvelling the strange objects and enchantments

"We should call this place a library" Gemini said and hoped over Leo's shoulder to snatch the piece of paper from Capricorn's desk

"Leo. How's your seeing?" Sagittarius asked

Leo was blind since they got here, but his ability to see was not impaired. He saw through the magic around his body and felt everything around him.

"It's like being freaking blind for real, this place is full of magic, even the air fells heavy" Leo shuddered with the chilly air inside

"Great, so we have a bigger amount of chance of getting thrown in outer space for fun. Peachy"Aries sarcastically entered the conversation

"I got it! Our name's are here, but everything is in French. What's a 'lycéen' and why are both me and Leo in it?"

"It means your sorry asses are going back to high school!" Aries sing sang and took the paper out of Gemini's hand

"WHAT! HIGH SCHOOL!! WE CAN'T GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL. IT'S A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!" Gemini yelled and yelled until Aries knocked him out with a punch

"I apparently am a cop! And Sag is a photographer" Aries continued

"Brilliant, I will love it!" Sag chimed

"What about me?" Scorpio asked

"Your job is one of an forensic detective, chérie"

And in that moment, they knew. They fucked up. Slowly turning around to the figure leaning in the door they tried to form a possible explanation to whatever was happening here.

"It's Gemini and Leo's fault!"

"Hey!"

"I somehow believe you" Capricorn answered

"Hey!"
