We are all Lost Stars ---A Zodiac Story---

Chapter 5

Sebastian couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy.

Something about that couple just rubbed him the wrong way. 

"Sebastian, you okay?" He turned to look at his side to see Grace. She seemed concerned about him, he shook his head at the thought. He didn't understand why she looked worried, especially about him. He let out a light laugh as ruffled her hair.

"Hey!"

"I'm fine, thanks for asking,"

She fixed her hair. sending him a glare for the not so appreciated gesture. Which only made him laugh more. 

"We're here," Chase called to the group. They were all outside another inn, it seemed small and a bit old but they weren't complaining. "We didn't get a chance to eat at the other place so we decided to make a stop," Spencer opened to the door. 

The satisfying smells of the inn filled the air. Homemade cooking. Sebastian took a deep breath and sighed. He hadn't had homemade cooking in years. Not after his grandma passed away. Ah, that left a small stinging pain in his chest. 

After they all sat down and ordered, Sebastian took a look around. Maybe it was because of the heavenly smells of homemade cooking but it kind of felt like home. 

"What exactly do you think the zodiacs want us to do?" Lilliana questioned. It was a question that the group had always asked the zodiacs. They never once did give them a proper answer. "We'll find out after all 12 of us come together," Spencer managed to come up with an answer. 

"As long as they keep their promise then I wouldn't care what they would make us do. If they want us to kill someone then so be it," That silenced them all. They didn't expect Ashley to say that. But then again, he didn't even really know these people. 

Sebastian didn't know what the other zodiacs had promised his friends. All he knew was that Sagittarius had promised him a family. She couldn't bring her back, he knew that but he still wanted someone to fill the void. He thought that maybe these people could be his family. They all weren't related by blood but maybe they could create a bond stronger than blood. 

"So! Since we don't really know each other and we'll probably have to stick with each other why don't we get to know everyone!" Sebastian suggested cheerfully. 

They all looked at him weirdly. He knew that they all thought that they wouldn't see each other again after all this is finished. But he knew. He knew that they all would be closer. So close that they wouldn't know what to do without each other. He'll make sure of it. 

"Grace, you mentioned you had little siblings of your own back at that inn. How many siblings do you have exactly?"

"I have a big brother and sister. Then I have a little brother and sister. I'm the middle of 5 children," 

"Woah!" Ashley and Chase looked at her shocked. "Wow, that must be nice," Chase commented. "Ehh... It can get a bit loud. There's no such thing as quiet in a house of 7," Grace thanked the waiter for the cup of water as she sipped. "Coffee, as black as possible," They all laughed at Spencer's order.

"I've never had a sibling. I wonder what it feels like," Ashley mumbled. "Well, I have way too many that's for sure," Grace giggled. "But I wouldn't trade them for the world," Her face softened. 

"Lilliana, you have a brother. What's it feel like?" Sebastian noticed that Lilliana seemed to be deep in thought. As if reliving a memory. "There are times when we argue, but you know he'll always be with me. He is the only one I truly loved in my family. The one who truly cared that I existed. He may be the crown prince of the surface but before that, he's my brother. Or that's what I thought," Lilliana had muttered the last sentence but Sebastian had heard it.
