Zach took us to the abandon warehouse that the Aries stored their weapons once, now, obviously, it was abandoned. He led to the very back and opened up the door to the basement, except it wasn’t a basement, but a tunnel,
“This passage way leads to the rooms, where the Aries boys slept, and each door will have the name of the owner of the room on it,” he paused, then said, “Usually in alphabetical order by their last name,” he looked at me and sigh, “Be careful and good luck,” I quickly hugged him,
“Thank you,” I smiled, “I’ll see you back at Aquarius tomorrow,” and I stepped into the tunnel.
The passage way looks new, like it has only been made a few years ago, I reached the end of the tunnel and opened the wooden door. I peered outside, it wasn’t like what I had expected, each door frame was covered with barb-wire, and above each door was a metal plate with the name of the person etched into it. I walked down the hallways, it gave me the creeps, there was no light, only lamps lit with fire, I arrived at his door, as I opened the door, it slid opened without a sound, creepy. When I saw Sammy lying there, I felt like my heart had turned to stone, he face was ghostly pale, and the tips of his fingers looked blue. I closed the door and rushed over to him,
“Sammy, Sammy!” I whispered urgently, I needed to make sure that he was okay, “Please Sammy, you have to wake up,” his eyelids fluttered opened,
“Tess?” I pulled him into a hug,
“Oh thank the Gods you’re okay,” I sat on his bed, and thought about what I just said, “No, actually screw the Gods,” angered boiled up inside me, “This is all their fault! It’s not fair, not fair,” I started to sob, Sammy pulled me close to him and just kept me there. After a couple of minutes, I broke away from him.
“Do you like it here?” I asked, “It’s, just, so different to Gemini and Aquarius,” he laughed,
“Yeah, it’s a change of interior design,” he propped him up on his elbows, “Sometimes it feels like I’m in an army camp,” I smirked,
“Yeah, I absolutely cannot imagine why,” he kissed me lightly on the lips,
“Tess, you should go now before they catch you,” he smiled at me, “I’ll see you tomorrow at the festival, okay?”
“Okay.” I kissed him on the cheek and walked out of the room and into the tunnel. About half way through the tunnel, I hear people talking and stomping to shoes. The sun was rising, and everyone in Aquarius will be up soon.
I crashed through my room’s door and flopped onto bed. About ten seconds, Emma barged in and demanded,
“Where the hell were you last night?” her brows were furrowed, “You snuck out didn’t you?” I stared at her,
“Accusing me and yet you don’t have proof.” I sat up and crossed my arms, “Fine, I did sneak out. But how did you know?”
“Well, first of all, last night at dinner, I was sitting right next to you. I heard you and I saw you.” She smiled, “Also, Zach is my boyfriend, and I have to know where he is.” I got out of bed and started to change from my black clothes into something more Aquarius like. I didn’t care if Emma was watching,
“Do you mind? I’m standing right here,”
“Can’t be stuffed, and besides you barged in,” I saw her smirk,
“Well, breakfast is going to start in about an hour, see you there,”
“Okay, see ya,” I put on a pale green dress, and fixed my hair in a loose bun. I walked over to the bathroom, my face looked pale and my eyes sulking. I sighed and walked to breakfast.
