The Enlightened Ones

Chapter 9 Pt. 1: "The Extended Warranty Program"

POV: Drew Williamson(Pisces II)

"I just want to help people why is that so hard for everyone to understand" I said to the House of Capricorn. The House responded with a stern "You don't even know these people!" "That doesn't matter! I mean did Jesus know every single person he helped?" I spat back. "Your not the Messiah!" the house screamed. "Fair enough but

what about the distress call you recieved? I'm sure Gemini House wouldn't have called if it wasn't important." I pleaded. "Lets get one thing straight Mr. Williamson

that pig of a house called upon Pisces House not Capricorn! Second You just happen to overhear the distress beacon and three; it is neither your problem nor mine." I took in her words and let them sink in. "Then I will just go to The Hog myself." I stated triumphantly."You are lucky that you are the only other true twin

sign amongst the zodiac. The HOG may have a soft spot for you just as Pisces house had a soft spot for him long ago." She said with a heavy heart. "Your never this nice to me, whats wrong and what is it your remembering? Does it concern my friend?" I asked. She only said that many millenia ago a gemini had won the heart of a Pisces and that it did not change in this time either. She went on further to state that my friend did the same not too long ago before he had found his claim to Gemini House when he resided amongst House Pisces. "So does that mean I knew him before we met recently?" I asked her. "You are all connected from before but know that in order for you to reach him you must bring another from your house even if it is from the past of your current friend." she said softly. "It will bring him and his new family immense pain that even I cannot fathom but it is the only offering that the Hog will accept for he slumbers even now. If you are going to do this then you should go to House Gemini while he slumbers and find out who this Pisces is. Good Luck" she said whilst sending me to House Gemini. I did not smile since I knew that that our our conversations usually went her way. This time she barely fought me I thought to myself as I appeared outside the Hog and knocked and waited patiently. I could instantly feel the connection between houses Pisces and Gemini. It was nearly

eternal and almost woke up The Hog but I could still here him slumbering. "I'm sorry I'm gonna have to wake you prematurely my friend" I said to myself as the door unlocked and opened. Before it opened I completely I noticed that the Hog really was the most human of the houses for even in his sleep I heard mumbles of perhaps dreams or something else entirely. I couldn't be sure but the door was now open and there stood my friend's spouse and a group of girls behind her. I raised my eyebrows in surprise and waved. Being an empath I now sensed the emotions coming from all of them. It was the same just going deeper in varying degrees as you went from friend of friend to lover to... my god I thought; to daughter. She floated up above the rest and waved back. I had yet to enter The Hog but I

understood all the same, my friend was missing and we would need even more help to find him.

(An hour later)

I was washing my hands and looked in the mirror as I studied my features, my hair a fair brown tint to it with a goatee to match and my eyes were green and a bit blue, they changed colors from time to time. My skin wasn't pale but more that of an

apricot color, I then turned my gaze to my jacket, it was my ACU jacket from the Army National Guard as were my pants. I wondered how to help in the situation as I reflected on the words of House Capricorn. I would ask Kathleen of his former love and gain the answer. I dried my hands and walked out of the bathroom to a scene of hilarity. Nicole was now flying around in circles with her backpack levitating various objects as a distraction for her mother as she tried to pull Nicole out of the air only to catch an object instead. The funny thing was as Nicole distracted her
