The Zodiac Ships

Chapter 5: Convenience Store

Capricorn POV:

Home at last.

My exhausted bones and weak muscles, wouldn't move. I was way too tired to do anything, literally. School had drained almost all of my energy. When I entered the house my knees automatically gave and I fell. I'm currently sitting in the doorway blocking Sagittarius' entrance and also annoying her.

"Capricorn, stop being a lazy bum and move. I want to go watch TV." Sagittarius whined.

"No, I'm too tired. If you want me to move then pick me up and carry me wherever." I said lazily.

"Fine," Sagittarius said stubbornly. I heard loud footsteps from behind and suddenly felt a pair of hands grasping around.

No way, is she actually going to carry me?

After a few seconds, I started to hear the groans of failure.

"Dang it, you seemed like a light person. Why can't I carry you?" Sagittarius cried.

Ha, I thought she would actually carry me.

"Wait, I know why."

Sagittarius removed my backpack and tossed it somewhere-I was too lazy to look. She went back to carrying me, and in a few seconds, I was in the air.

"W..w..wait hold up, PUT ME DOWN!!!! AHHHHH!" I screamed. I hate being carried because I'm scared of heights. I need the firm feel of floor holding me up to feel safe. I started to sway my hands and legs.

"STOP MOVING!" Sagittarius screamed, making me realize that we could both fall and hurt ourselves.

After a few minutes of silence, we finally made it to the bedroom, where I was placed lightly on the bed and screamed at.

"HOW COULD YOU MOVE WHEN I WAS CARRYING YOU! DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS. WHAT IF I SLIPPED AND FELL. WE COULD BOTH END UP IN THE HOSPITAL AND I THINK YOUR BROTHER WOULD KILL ME IF WE DID!! "

Sagittarius POV:

After I finished lecturing Capricorn I stomped out of her room and continued to stomp to my room. Today was such a weird day. I felt like I needed to rest forever.

"God, that child makes me worry like crazy. And to think that she would do something so stupid." I sighed and decided to change from my school clothes to more comfier ones.

Maybe I should go to the convenience store to get some snacks.

I grabbed my phone and my purse and headed out of the apartment.

"Ahh, it feels nice to be outside in the night." I was awed as I took in a big breath and let it out. Since the store was only a few blocks away I started to walk so I could relax.

15 minutes later...

"Thank you! " I thanked the man that was working in the store and headed out. I had bought a lot of snacks for me and Capricorn. I started to walk back when suddenly, I heard footsteps following me from behind. I turned around to see 5 dark figures behind me that seemed to be following me.

I started to walk faster and faster, trying to get home faster and avoid being in danger. However, as I started to walk faster, they fastened their pace as well.

Oh gosh, am I being followed? This is bad. This is terrible. Should I start running? I should. Better to be safe than sorry.

In a few seconds, I started to run, as fast as possible, to avoid danger at all costs. The bags in my hands were shaking and moving everywhere and sweat was dripping from the sides of my face. My breaths were getting uneven and I was panting. All I want at this moment is to be safe, but even though I was running as fast as possible, they caught up. It was of no use, no use at all.

This is it.
