Zodiac

Chapter 3

I woke up to a familiar voice muttering, I propped myself up on my elbows, I couldn’t remember anything, only a voice booming at me saying that I made a big mistake.

“E-Emma?” she looked at me and rushed over to me, “What happened?” she just looks at me worriedly, and sigh,

“Oh, Tessa, honestly, how hard is it to obey the rules that Gods made?” she asked, memories came rushing back at me. Sammy and I kissed, then, geez, all I remember is pain. Emma shakes her head at me, “So, I’m guessing that you’re wondering how you got back here? The Gods ‘zapped’ you back here while I was cleaning up your room, gods, you-you were so pale. It’s fine now, everything seems normal, j-just rest,” she looks at me and walked out the door. I laid there, staring at the ceiling, I needed to know of Sammy was alright, but going to the Aries section, and breaking the rules could mean the Gods blasting me to ashes. I rolled of the bed, changed out of my dress into a tank top and denim shorts, I looked at myself in the mirror, and I still look the same, but am I still the same inside? I walked over the double glass doors, and threw them open, the sea breeze hit me like the voice from last night, strong and hard, I breathed in the smell of the sea, fresh and calming, and closed my eyes.

The Aquarius really knew how to eat. Huge platters of food were scattered around the 15m long table, I sat next to Emma and a guy named Zach, he had light brown hair and hazel eyes, just a shade darker to mine, he looked at me and said through a mouthful of food,

“The food here is seriously good,” I couldn’t help but laugh,

“I know right, what Zodiac did you come from?”

“Aries, you?”

“Gemini,” a thought dawned on me, maybe he knew how to get into Aries without the Gods knowing, “Do you by any chance, know how to get into Aries without the Gods knowing?” he looked at me and raised an eyebrow,

“Yeah, why?” a smile tugged at the corner of my mouth,

“Awesome, meet me at the Water Park today at 5 o’clock,” I pushed my chair back and walked off, my plan is absolutely flawless.

It was 4:30pm and it was already starting to get dark outside, I picked out a black tank to and black leggings, I walked to the door, grabbed a black jacket and slipped on black sneakers. When I opened the door, the cold air hit me, hard. I walked to the Water Park, Zach was already waiting there, he wore all black like me, I walked over to him and said quite sarcastically,

“How, convenient of you to where all black,” he looked at me and smirked,

“I figured you would want to break in, so I wore all black,” he looked at my clothes, “I see that you were planning on breaking in,” I pushed him playfully, and laughed.

“Ready?” I asked, he shrugged and said,

“Yeah, I guess,” he smiled, “And besides, you aren’t really giving me much of a choice anyway,”

“C’mon,” I took his hand and dragged him towards the Aries section, which glowed red in the dark. As we walked the air got colder, I shivered, the atmosphere didn’t feel natural, like the normal cold breeze in the night. It was getting so cold, like it might snow, Zach looked at me and said,

“Whoa, y-you’re glowing!” I looked down at myself, he wasn’t lying, I was glowing, glowing blue, my ruling element, water, was making everything around me cold, I was turning the water particles around me to ice.

“Zach, is this normal?”

“I-I don’t think so, we have to get you back to the Aquarius section,”

“No, I have to get to Sammy,”

“Oh~, so Sammy was the guy you were making out with last night,”

“What?! How did you know? Doesn’t matter, we have to get to Aries,”

“Sure, it doesn’t matter at all,” I shove him and he fell onto the grass, I laughed and sooner or later we were both cracking up.
