The Zodiac War

Chapter 2

  "Mama! How'd you make it home so soon?" Spafina questioned, hugging her mother as she came through the door.

  "Private jets, babygirl! Where is your sister? I have something to tell you both about the Grand Tour," Adriana declared.

  "Right there!" Spafina pointed out her sister who was ambling down the grand staircase.

  "Hey, Mom. How was your trip?" Rosalie asked, removing her headphones.

"Oh. Stressful. The Grand Tour has been moved to tomorrow. Go pack a week's worth of necessities. You leave at 5:00 in the morning."

  "What? You're serious?" Rosalie stared at her mother. "I have to get up early?"

"Yes, you poor child. Yes," Adriana replied, setting a hand on Rose's shoulder in false sympathy. "Time to eat!"

  "I'll see you girls in a week!" Adriana called out, teary eyed.

  "See you, Mom!" Spafina shouted back, waving as she ran to the limousine. Rose, on the other hand, lumbered to the vehicle, taking her time to hug her mother goodbye.

"Alright. Let's go," Rosalie nodded to Spafina, who was sitting in the limousine, impatient. The sisters, once settled, drove off for New York.

"So what are we going to do when we get to NY?" Spafina wondered aloud.

"Meet the other snobby rich kids."

"I'm sure they're not all bad... I mean, look at us!"

"I honestly don't think we are much better," Rose murmured lowly, turning her phone on.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, Spaf. Don't worry about it."

"Okay!"

"Girls, we will be crossing the border soon. Don't be afraid when you see the crazy Sagittarius people. They are not that bad," the driver commented.

"What do you mean by that?" Rose thought.

  A brown haired, green eyed lady greeted the Abbot sisters as they entered a private section of the New York Airport. (Don't hate me. I got lazy.)

"Greetings, Spafina Abbot and Rosalie Abbot. I am Valinda Walsh, I will be chaperoning you and everyone else on this trip. Let me explain the system. The Grand Tour is a tradition we've had since the beginning of the Zodiac Government." The lady took a pause. "It's purpose is to show the promising youth of the current generation how other signs live and thrive. Just so the kids don't believe that their sign is the dominant one. Now, not every sign's representative is able to attend. Leo, Virgo, and Aquarius's representatives were not able to join us this year. But let me introduce you to everyone!"

  "Is this chick gonna give us a damn chance to speak?" Rosalie pondered.

  "This is Jessica Kenlaw. She's from the Gemini state of Florida," Valinda declared.

  Jessica saluted the Abbot sisters. She had her hands on her hips, her light brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, an eye patch over one of her purple-blue eyes, the left one. She looked intimidating, fierce, and sassy.

  "What's with the eye patch?" Rosalie asked nonchalantly.

  "Scar," Jessica answered briskly.

"Rose! You can't just ask someone something like that!" Spafina scolded, smacking Rose's arm. Valinda moved onto the next teen.

"This is Blue Cohen of the Scorpio state, South Carolina," Valinda informed them. "Here is the other representative, Wolf Santiago."

Blue looked even more intimidating and fierce than Jessica did. He had a hood covering his blue eyes, dark brown hair, and his somewhat pale skin. Rosalie stared him down, making sure he wasn't a threat, but he stared right back. Wolf looked more innocent than Blue did, but they both looked uninterested and done with everyone. Wolf had brown hair as well, brown eyes, and he was immersed in his music, evident by the fact he wasn't listening to Valinda, but his headphones.

Valinda continued, "This is Chase Rowan, son of Taurus Leader, William Rowan. He is from the state of Tennessee."

  Chase looked downright terrifying to Rosalie, mostly because he had red eyes. His other features contributed to this impression, his messy brown hair, his gaze, and his height. Rosalie found him threatening, and backed herself and Spafina away from him.

  "This is Colin Smith of the Aries state, Kentucky."

Colin was a more friendly and older looking version of Wolf. He held out his hand for the girls to shake, he was polite, and his smile was comforting.

"Here is Jewel Jackson from the Libra State of Maryland."

  Jewel was a beautiful young woman with bouncing red locks of hair, sparkling blue eyes, and fair skin. She held her hand out in greeting and the sisters gladly took it.

  "Nice to meet you!" Jewel smiled.

  "And here is our Cancer representative, Aria Davenport. She's from Maine."

"Nice to meet ya!" Aria giggled. Aria looked like Jewel, but Aria had a more brown version of red hair and she had green eyes.

  Valinda pointed to two individuals standing beside each other. "That is Elizabeth Aldridge. Her mother is Iona Aldridge, the Capricorn Leader from Texas. And this is Jonathan Black, son of our very own Vivienne Black from right here in New York!"

  Elizabeth was a blonde with brown eyes and beige skin, standing confidently. Jonathan had black hair and brown eyes, looking like a younger, male version of Rosalie.

  "And of course, representing Pisces, we have Spafina and Rosalie Abbot!" Valinda clasped her hands together now that everyone had been introduced. "Time to get on the jet! Our first stop will be North Carolina, another Sagittarius state. Follow me to the jet, kids!"

  "This should be fun. We will have time to socialize on the jet. I hope the first few kids aren't what I hope..." Rosalie thought.
