The Zodiacs: Blood Of Angels

Chapter 45: Taurus

"So, you're Pisces's mother?" Leo asked. "And I mean our Pisces, not some random baby called Pisces who would definitely be more age suitable to be your son."

Leo was sat up on his bed, as everyone crowded around it. Him, Ryze and Pisces had been playing cards as Sierra had burst into the room and hugged her son.

"Yes, he's my baby boy," Sierra replied, hugging Pisces, who's eyes were full of tears.

"Mum, mum, I thought you died..." Pisces cried into her shoulder. Taurus was still in somewhat shock at their relation.

"How could you be? This had gotta be an elaborate prank," Leo grinned, wagging a finger at all of them.

"How would this even be a prank?" Scorpio asked.

"C'mon man, you're better than this," Aries smirked.

"Shut up, Aries," Leo scowled, throwing a card at him. Aries caught it and held it up. "The Joker? Seriously?" Virgo sighed, as he looked over at the card.

"Why's it so hard to believe?" Sierra asked.

"Just hard to believe that's all... cos you're so young! Damn, when I'm your age, I wanna look like I do now!" Sag excitedly said.

"Yeah, well, as lovely as all your questions are, I think we owe Pisces and his mother some alone time, so they can catch up," Ryze said. "C'mon, get outta the room," he waved them towards the exit.

"Even me? It's my room," Leo said, as they all began piling out.

Ryze laughed, as Sierra sweetly smiled at Leo. "Don't worry dear, we'll go out somewhere to eat." She led Pisces past them and headed towards the exit of the inn.

Taurus watched them from the indoor balcony and noticed she was walking much better than when she first got the injury. Nyx had given her some herbs and look to eat, as well as healing bandages, but Taurus didn't think she would be healed this quickly. Maybe it had something to do with her powers?

She had explained that her power was angel physiology - she had the ability to take on the characteristics and powers of an angel. It seemed really cool and Taurus guessed Pisces was much like his mother, since he had the power to manipulate light.

"That's so great, that they're together again!" Libra said joyously.

"Yeah, it's so nice seeing Pisces this happy," Sag agreed. Pisces did look extremely happy, but Sag's words struck a chord within Taurus, for unknown reasons.

"You trying to say the kid isn't happy with me?" Taurus asked irritably.

"Aww, no need to be jealous," Aquarius teased, as Sag vigorously shook her head. Taurus narrowed his eyes at Aquarius - he didn't know who the hell she thought she was, but she always seemed to grind his nerves.

"I'm not," Taurus replied coldly, walking towards the exit. "As a matter of fact, I couldn't give a damn about his happiness," he said, just before he went outside.

"Where are you going!?" He heard someone call, but Taurus left without looking back. He was not in the mood for these losers.

He saw a nearby stone and without much thought, kicked it, watching it as it sailed through the air and landed in the nearby pond. At the edge of the pond, there was a small wooden pier where he had took Pisces out to train. When Pisces hadn't done what was asked, Taurus had pushed him in, but 'accidentally' also fell in too.

He began walking closer to the pier and Taurus didn't know why, but this stupid memory was repeating in his head, each time seemingly adding something more to it than the last.
