The Zodiac Kingdom

Chapter 9 - A Surprise Visit

Libra POV

"What do you want to do now, since we're done discussing and all that?" Taurus asked me.

"Uh... uhm..." I started, before Taurus started laughing.

"What? Huh? What's so funny?" I asked, confused, and slightly offended.

"No... no... it's just that - don't take this as something offensive." He started laughing again. 

"Taurus! What?" 

"Fine, I'll get to the point. It's just that, I forgot how indecisive you were when it comes to making choices."

"That's not funny. And I'm not indecisive. Or am I?" I covered my mouth realizing I let that thought slip out.

"Yeah right. So NOT indecisive." He rolled his eyes.

"Ok, you can stop now." I stepped forward to shove him, but my feet seemed to lose all sense of balance and I tripped onto the ground. Or at least I thought I was going to.

I was kinda expecting him to make some kind of joke about me 'losing my balance', but instead he caught me in his arms. I started blushing uncontrollably. That's when I gazed into his eyes.

His forest green eyes.

He looked back at me, and we had a moment of eye contact.

I leaned in, feeling his breath against my face. His green eyes were closer to me than they ever were. I closed my eyes, expecting Taurus' lips on mine...

...when Virgo and Aquarius ran into the room. Taurus pulled me up in shock.

"Guys! Come with me and Virgo. We all need to meet up now."

"What is it?" Taurus straightened himself.

"I'll explain later. Come with us first." Virgo disappeared through the door.

Taurus and I followed them frantically. What happened? 

"Wait, where are Venus and Chiron?" Taurus panted.

"In this room." Aquarius opened the door and everyone else stared at us.

"So that's everyone?" Cancer asked.

"Yep!" Virgo sat down beside Pisces.

"Okay, so now let's start. What did you want to tell us?" Aries folded her arms. I sighed. Clearly she wasn't happy about this whole 'interruption' thing.

Virgo and Aquarius started explaining about how that ball of light wasn't what it seemed, and it was recording our every move. By the time they finished, everyone in the circle sat closer to them than before.

"Stand back, guys." We all shuffled behind Aries and she exploded the light with her fire powers. The chip fell out and exploded after a few seconds. Pisces and Cancer covered their ears and closed their eyes tightly to block the noise.

"Okay, if this is gone, their gang won't know what we're doing."

"How did they find us in the first place?" Capricorn enquired.

"The chip, duh!" Sagittarius rolled his eyes. "He asked it to locate us."

"Then why didn't he kill us?"  Capricorn muttered under his breath.

"Stop with the questions, Captain Corn. It's because he wants to torture is instead." Sagittarius said.

"Why do you have to be so mean?" Pisces scolded Sagittarius.

Then everyone started fighting. 

Fighting was one of my least favorite things. And I didn't have a long list of hated things, since I try to treat everything with kindness and equality. Everyone was so caught up in the fight that they didn't hear knocking on the door.
