Taurus p.o.v

Taurus pressed her hands onto Cancer's wound, hoping to stop the stream of blood bleeding out of him. He was still breathing, that was a good sign, but it was definitely getting weaker. Capricorn was next to her trying to wake him up as to find out who did it. This was surprising seeing how much Cancer and Capricorn despised each other. Taurus continued to apply pressure on Cancer's shoulder, even when the bleeding slowed to a stop. They hadn't removed the knife as would make it worse.

"The bleeding's stopped." Taurus muttered.

Capricorn slapped Cancer (maybe harder than necessary) to make him wake up, "Good, but this idiot isn't waking up!"

"Maybe its for the best." Libra said, "At least he isn't in any pain."

Scorpio rubbed his temple, "That's true, but we need to find out who did it so they don't do it again."

Capricorn slapped him again. Scorpio let out a sigh of relief when Cancer's eyes fluttered open slowly. "Pi..." Cancer said, looking around, his eyes unfocused.

Libra knelt down in front of him. "Cancer, Pisces is dead. I'm so sorry."

Cancer shook his head, "No, we both are."

Libra glanced at Taurus, who shrugged. "You're alive, Cancer."

"I can't be, I died with him. We were meant to be together..." His voice trailed off as he looked at Libra, "He can't be alone. He'll be scared. I told him I would see him on the other side."

"Pisces will wait for you, but he's going to have to wait a bit longer. We need your help." Taurus said softly. She didn't know why she said that, she didn't know Cancer all that well.

Cancers face screwed up in pain, "And once I've helped, can I go?"

"No." Scorpio said directly, "This would not be what Pisces would want."

"You don't know him at all." Cancer growled, but Taurus saw in his eyes that he knew Scorpio was right.

"Sorry to change the subject, but we have important things to talk about." Capricorn said, not sounding sorry at all. "What happened when Pisces and you got stabbed?"

Cancer looked down, "I don't remember much, it's fuzzy."

"You need to remember." Scorpio urged.

Cancer gulped, "Pisces and I were chilling in a room, when someone called our names. Pisces answered the door and...you know what happened next." Cancer's eyes looked like broken glass. Taurus couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"Who was it?" Libra asked, holding her breath.

Cancer's eyes were fixed on the ground, "I...can't remember. It was someone I knew though..."

"Try to remember." Capricorn said with his arms crossed.

Taurus stared at the open door, her mind wandering in many directions as ideas entered and left her head. For the time being, she was totally lost.


Gemini p.o.v

"I need to pee." Gemini said desperately, hopping around in the dark. She knew she wouldn't be able to hold it in much older, and it would not look cool if she were to die with wet pants.  

"There's gotta be toilets somewhere." Leo replied. "We could probably turn the lights on too, it's not like there's anyone down here."

Gemini nodded, "You're right." She felt on the wall for the switch. She passed over one quickly and flicked it. After so much time in the dark, the bright light was blinding. Gemini squeezed her eyes shut and waited for them to adjust. Once she could open her eyes without extreme pain, she looked around. The walls and floor were considerably clean, even if this area of the mansion seemed uninhabited. A wave of pain from her bladder forced her to look for a bathroom, quickly. She opened the nearest door. It was pure luck and coincidence that it was a fully functioning toilet (if not a tad smaller than the others in the house) with toilet paper and even soap.
