'Ruby!" Leo shouted.

They heard a witch cackling

'That can't be a good sign!" Theo frantically said.

Leo looked in the closet room but saw nothing.

Theo's ears perked up.

'It's over there!" He whisper-shouted.

He pointed to a small done barrel like dome-shaped room that seemed small.

Leo rushed to the room and saw Ruby unconscious.

'RUBY!" He called out.

He rushed to her and elevated her from the ground.

'Ruby...?" He trailed off.

The witch cackled.

Leo glared at her as did Theo.

'WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER YOU COWARD!?" Theo snapped.

'Oh calm down, Kitty Face, I didn't kill her," The witch quipped.

'I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU CAUSED HER ANY HARM-....!" Leo growled.

'Omg, Since you're just dying for a hint, I'll give you one,
Her hair, as red as blood
Her eyes as blue as the ocean
Her skin, as full of life as the sand
Her curiousity as infectious as the flu!" The witch recited before disappearing.

'COME BACK HERE! COWARD!" Theo growled.

'It's not worth it Theo, It's like talking to a brick wall!" Leo groaned in frustration.

Leo put Ruby's arm over his shoulder, he put his arm under her knees and lifted her up.

He rushed out of the castle, eyes widened his mother clenched her teeth and quickly opened the car door.He sat her down and buckled her seatbelt.

He then got in the front as his mother turned on the ignition. Her mother looked back and drove off.

'Should we take her home!?" Theo asked.

'Are you kidding me!? Her parents will Clobber us!" Leo retorted.

'Clobber us!? What do you mean!?" Theo responded with frustration.

'Did you that her first mother's a Leo!?" Leo snapped.

Eyes-widened Theo imagined Kendra having all orangish red replace her eyes and her punching her palms as if she was ready for a fight.

'And that her second Mom's a Pisces!?" Leo frantically retorted.

Theo also imagined Elise sobbing uncontrollably.

'Well there's gotta be something we can do!" Theo shouted.

'BOYS! Get your panties out of a twist and stop arguing!" Leo's Mother snapped.

Leo and Theo stopped talking.

'Look, You told me that your friend Ophelia is really intelligent, Right!?" Leo's Mother asked, trying to regain her composure.

'Y-Yes," Leo answered.

'So maybe if we take her there, She'll know what to do!" Leo's Mother responded. 'TELL ME. IN FULL DETAIL. WHAT HAPPENED!" his mother demanded.

'Okay, some witch got into her brain and started putting her down," Leo explained.

'What was she saying!?" Leo's Mother asked.

'That she was dumb,that her sense of judgement was invalid and That all she ever did was use her disorder as an excuse!" Leo explained.

Her eyes widened as she clenched her teeth, her hands gripping tighter to the wheel.

'I swear to God, every attack from these Zodiacs get more and more brutal each time!" Leo's mother growled.

'Have I ever told you your mother's terrifying...?" Theo asked.

'Yes Theo, A million times!" Leo and his mother calmly replied with irritation.

Theo stayed quiet.

'Where does she live?" Leo's Mother asked.

'7954 Brazen Street!" Leo replied.

'Google! Where's 7954 Brazen Street!?" Leo's Mother asked her phone.

'Turn left Leiser Lane," The phone replied.

August 12, 2019 5:30 p.m.

'Huh, We made it!" Leo's Mother sighed of relief.

Leo's Mother's phone rang and had Kendra and Elise's name on it. Eyes-widened she stared at the phone in panic.

She answered it.

'Uh, Hey, Mrs.Optimiso, Is Ruby staying the night? Does she want to stay the night?" Kendra asked.

'Uh, Yeah! She actually mentioned to me this morning to tell you!" Leo's Mother frantically answered.

'Are you okay...? Your tone of voice doesn't sound very pleasant..." Elise asked over the phone.

'I'm fine! O-Our dog just escaped! And we're looking everywhere to find him! Ruby's with my husband! He's an Aries! A very strong and muscle bound guy! So she'll be fine!" Leo's Mother responded, panic dripping from her voice.

'Let's get off the line, Honey, the poor woman sounds like she's about to have a heart attack," Elise softly urged.

'Heh, Alright," Kendra agreed.

'Tell Ruby we love her!" Kendra chirped.

'And best wishes!" Elise added on. 'And a very good night to our wittle snuggle bunn-..."

Leo's Mother hung up.

'I think you laid it on a bit too thick Elise," Kendra quipped.

Elise cried Anime tears.

'Woow I think I got diabetes from hearing that hogwash," Theo quipped. 

'Theo!" Leo quietly scolded.

Leo's mother laughed with panic.

Leo and Theo stared at her, Leo with concern, Theo with concern.
Leo's Mother stopped.

Eyes-widened she responded.

'Sorry, I panicked..." She replied.

'Leo, I think your mother needs a therapist," Theo said, gravely.

'Shut it Theo!" Leo's Mother quipped.
