"Virgo, come on, let's go!" a boy with white hair shouted enthusiastically yet impatiently as he ran up the hill and motioned his hand for the person to come.

"Coming!" a voice shouted back at the bottom of the hill. A girl with brown hair came into view after a few moments, panting heavily.

Virgo sighed as she regained her breath and looked at the boy and said, "Seriously Draco?We're not even late, it's only high noon. Besides, we're only going to Taurus and Lupus's house."

Draco laughed and he smirked at the young girl. "It's not my fault I can run faster than you and I'm bored so I really can't wait anymore to go to their house," he replied.

Virgo pouted and retorted back, "That's just because you're older than me and have longer legs while I'm stuck with these puny ones."

"Whatever you say squirt," he says while patting her head, "you'll be able to reach me one day."

Virgo immediately smiled and nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah!" she exclaimed while grinning, "come on, let's go to Taurus's house!"

Draco chuckled lightly as the younger girl started to pull him towards the house that was now in view.

Draco, Virgo, Taurus and Lupus were in Taurus and Lupus's garden after celebrating Draco's 14th birthday. They were laying down on the grass looking at the clouds, talking and laughing.

"Oooh look!" Taurus exclaimed as he pointed his finger up at the sky, "that cloud looks like a flower!"

Virgo giggled. "And that one looks like a rabbit," she said and pointed her finger at the cloud.

Lupus smiled at the two younger children and nodded. She averted her gaze to the sky and her eyes widened a little.

"Hey look," she said softly and pointed at a cloud, "that one looks like a heart. Do you know what the means?"

The other three cocked their heads to the side in confusion. Lupus laughed and sat up.

"It means that we'll be together forever," she stated while smiling, "and we'll be by each other's side till the very end. We'll be friends until the end of time."

Draco sat up as well and smiled at the thought. "Yeah, friends until the very end," he repeated.

Virgo and Taurus's eyes lit up and they grinned brightly. They hugged each other while saying, "Best friends forever!"

Draco laughed at their innocent and adorable cries of happiness and joined the hug, Lupus following soon after.

The four spent the rest of the evening until sunset enjoying each other's presence and talking about whatever they had in mind.

The four of them screamed in horror and fear as they saw their parents and loved ones getting brutally murdered by the E.U.G. They were shouting and begging them to stop, but no avail. They had to witness the gruesome death of their family.

The E.U.G. took them away back to the tree where their hideout was, despite their protests. They continued kicking and flailing, but no avail. They eventually gave up and reluctantly let the E.U.G. take them away.
