In the POV of Leo
Hi! I'm Leo Ortez!
I am a strong believer in Horoscopes, and found it flattering my birth parents named me after my zodiac sign.
My birth parents. I was supposed to meet them today, in this airport, or, I thought I would.
Instead, there was a woman with silver hair, but has a young face with green eyes.
She was holding the sign that read "Ortez".
There was a girl standing next to her with brown hair and brown eyes.
People scare me.
Especailly random people, I thought I was meeting the people who made me?
I just stood next to the girl, very stiffly, she seemed very loose, and wasn't even acknowledging all the germs this place may have.
A boy walked up to us, making my heart beat even faster. What were these people doing here?
His green hair was very untidy and messy. It looked like he'd just jumped put of bed.
What a slob.
I mean, if hes here for the same reason I am, don't you want to make a good first impression.
I quickly came into realization that I was shorter than both, a lot shorter.
Moments later, a super cute boy with black hair and stunning green eyes swaggered in.
He was very punk, and it was kinda hot, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to get into any relationship at all with him.
Punk boys aren't really my type.
"Okay!" The lady exclaimed. "Since we're all here, I'd like to tell you these are your siblings. Your birth family. Your family will meet you at the resort."
We were introduced to each other. Cancer had the green hair and the girl was Capricorn, who tried to talk to us at first.
Libra, Mr. Punk, awkwardly had a conversation with her, they mostly fangirled over movies and books, talking about their struggles of their sexualities.
Libra was gay. Cap was ace
After working up my confidence for and hour, I tried talking to Cancer, who just flipped me off.
I frowned, sinking back into my seat.
These people can't be related to me, we're nothing alike.
When we got there, there were 8 other people arriving as well. No one looked alike.
I prayed that this wasn't a skam, but I knew it wasn't when a woman in a long white robe strutted out, telling us she's happy to see her family, walking over to a group that was supervised by a blonde male.
A woman dressed in gray with long, burgundy hair strutted up to us.
"Hello my children," she greeted us. "I am glad to see you again."
This whole thing was terrifying.
"Leo darling, don't be scared, we're your family. We will never hurt you. Actually, protecting you is why we brought you here.'
Libra looked at her, raising a pierced eyebrow.
"Excuse me?" asked Capricorn. "Did you just say we were brought here for protection purposes."
"Yes," the woman confirmed solemnly. "I will explain more inside."
I decided to stick to Capricorn, she seems assertive enough to punch someone out.
What did I just say? I don't know. I confuse myself.
We all sat down at a round mahogany table lined with gold, it must be very expensive.
"So," our mother started explaining. "I put you all up for adoption to limit the chance of being found together as a group. I thought it was safest, obviously I was wrong."
"I thought," she stated, giving Cancer a look, "that raising you desperately would make you good, independent," now she's looking at me, "rulers for your people."
"Obviously, this isn't the case."
"What? Why do we have to be rulers?" questioned Libra.
"Haven't you figured it out?" Capricorn asked. "Were all named after the zodiac for a reason."
"Close," mother agreed. "You are the Zoidac, and there's people coming after you, for being normal people. They want to change you entirely. They're planning on picking 12, worthy seeming people and attempt to give them the power you possess, which could actually kill the human."
"Wait, what powers?" Cancer asked.
"Elemental powers my son. You'll be given a specially trained animal to assist you. This animal shall be your gaurdian," our mother spoke.
I sighed in relief. No humans would be watching me. This relief quickly evaporated when four people came out with 4, supposedly mythical creatures.
Libra got a Pegasus, just as dark as his attire.
Cancer got a Carcinus, which is his constellations purpose anyhow.
Capricorn got a goat that had a fish tail for hind legs, I imagine not very useful.
I got a manticore, a very beautiful but dangerous creature.
He had a stunning first red name and golden fur, but a shiny red scorpions tail. His eyes were large and brown.
"You get to name them." Our mother told us.
I smiled at my creature. "How about Martyaxwar?" I asked him.
He seemed to like it, Martyaxwar was his name.
I truseted him, I knew he wouldn't hurt me.
After, we were sent to our rooms to rest before training tomorrow.
Training... I'm not good at that stuff.
This is the end of Leo's chapter, I'm deleting the old book in 11 days! See you later!
