A Zodiac Tale

The Book

Libra sees Gemini and Aquarius in front of her. Ophiuchus says, "I am going to bring something precious. Till then you three girls chat, okay"
Ophiuchus went.
Gemini asked, "So, are you gonna do what he will say you to do?"
"For my family, yes but not all what he says", Libra answered.
Gemini laughed and said, "You have to do everything that he says, Libra"
"Don't worry I will help you, Libra"
"Aquarius! What are you speaking?"

Asteria said to everybody, "We are now going for a journey. Scarlett, Cancer and Pisces, be here. Scorpio, Virgo, Taurus, Aries and me, we all are going to get the Philosopher's stone. This stone is really needed. I will ask for permission to get it"
"But why do we need this stone?", Aries questioned.
"Before Ophiuchus, we need to have it. This is a magical stone", Asteria replied.
"And what about Capricorn, Leo and me?", Sagittarius asked.
"You all are going to find a book and in that book you will get a map", Asteria said.
"Map for what?", Scarlett asked.
"Map for Vor's heart. His heart is kept in a box and with a spell. We have to destroy his heart", Asteria explained them.
"How will we destroy it?", Taurus asked Asteria. She replied, "We will need four human zodiacs to destroy it"
"But there are only three human zodiacs. Libra is a vampire now, then how will it be possible?", Virgo confusingly reminded everyone.
"That's for what my plan is?", Asteria smirked. Virgo raised her eyebrow in confusion.

Libra asked, "What is Ophiuchus' next plan?"
Gemini replied, "To bring back his father"
"How will he do that?", Libra asked again.
"Through the book which you will bring from them", Gemini said. Ophiuchus came in and said, "You will go and bring two things" Ophiuchus whispered something on her ear and shouted angrily at Libra, "Go!!!"

Libra arrived Underspell. She found no one there. She then went to the Owl Palace and found Scarlett, Cancer and Pisces. She asked, "Where are the others?" Pisces was about to say something, Leo shouted from behind (behind Pisces and all). Leo worryingly asked, "Where had you been, Libra? Don't you know how much tensed we got, especially Scorpio?"
"I- just went... to Underspell"
"What?! You Went To Underspell, really?", Leo was surprised as all of them were down at the hall and when Libra went, they did not know at all. "You could have told us at least"
"I am ss-sorry"
Capricorn came and said, "Come on Leo, we have to go"
"Go where?", Libra asked.
"To find the book, Libra. Oh you don't know anything", Sagittarius answered.
"I will also go with you", Aquilla said. She requested, "Please take me too with you"
Capricorn thought for a while and then said, "It's okay, come"
"But where are the rest?", Libra asked. "They went to bring a stone...magical stone", Capricorn said and shrugged while saying magical stone.
"Oh, s-so shall I stay or go with you all", Libra asked pretending to be innocent. "You better be here, Libra", Leo said. He knew Libra well as Libra stutters he knows something's up with her. He clearly doubted at Libra.
"So, let's go Lee", Capricorn said.
"Heyy, I'm not Lee. I am Leo, you heard that?"
They went after that.

Asteria, Scorpio, Virgo, Taurus and Aries went and asked for it's permission to angels. They said, "To have it, the way will not be easy. Only a pure soul or human can touch or take it out" Asteria could touch it but she asked Virgo to go and bring.

Capricorn, Leo, Sagi and Aquilla went to the old library session. It was really dark and dusty. Leo, Sagittarius and Aquilla were sneezing like anything. "Thank God, I brought my handkerchief", Sagittarius said. "You mean, you don't always bring it?", Aquilla asked. "Yeah, I mean, mostly I forget" Capricorn spoke, "This could be the session. Fast, let's search the book." All started searching for the book and Aquilla got it, "Is this the book?" "Yeah, now let's go", Capricorn suggested everyone but a shadow appeared in front of them. "Hello everyone!" "This nonsense bloody vampire again came!", Leo said, acting furiously. "I agree with Leo that he is a nonsense bloody vampire", Sagittarius agreed with Leo which made Ophiuchus angry. "Shut up and hand me that book right now"
"Are you that foolish that we will listen to you?", Leo again provoked him. This time Ophiuchus grew in his worst form and attacked on them. The books started to fly on their own, hitting them hard. Capricorn saved Aquilla from the books that were hitting them. Leo grew in his lion form. "Don't emit fire on the books, Leo", Sagittarius said. Leo blew the fire on Ophiuchus. Aquilla took out vervain and asked Sagittarius to throw it on Ophiuchus' body. Sagittarius took it. She taken out her bow and arrow which she always carried and arrowed to Ophiuchus. She continuously arrowed on him, causing him to fall. He got weak and fell down. All of them went from there. "Ophiuchus can manipulate books! I never knew that", Sagittarius said. All of them arrived the palace and saw the rest zodiacs. They saw Virgo with a bright stone.
Asteria said to Libra, "Libra, you wished to become a human right! Now your wish is going to fulfill" Libra's pale skin turned into a brighter skin. She smiled heavily. She evolved into a better and powerful state. Her dull appearance disappeared. She got her lyre and powers. "One wish is fulfilled. Now my wish", Pisces said. "No, it grants limited wishes." Pisces frowned. "Libra's powers were really important. This stone can resurrect. So, it should be kept carefully with tight security.", Asteria explained. All hugged Libra after that. Libra was still thinking that shall she do what Ophiuchus told her. Since she got all her powers, she decided to visit her family once.

Libra's POV
I am still scared of Ophiuchus' strategy. I reached my actual home. I feel so relieved looking at my house where I spent my whole childhood. Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius and Aries were my besties. They always cared for me. I knocked at the door, expecting my mother to open. But there was no response. I fearfully opened the door. 'No God, no. Pleaseee...' What I thought just now was the truth. They are maybe kidnapped. But Ophiuchus appeared from my behind. I don't know that how he knows who is doing what and who goes where. "Your parents are with me. Your little cousin is in danger. Ohhh! I have hurt them, you know darling!"
"Don't do that! You do not know about my powers"
"I do know. You never listen to me. Aquilla is a normal girl. It was easy to hypnotize her. Now she is under my control and can hurt any vampire or werewolf with her vervain, holy water or silver bullets. She can either kill", Ophiuchus was clearly threatening me. For everyone's safety, I had to listen to him.

No one's POV
Libra went back to the palace and observed Aquilla. Ophiuchus was true. Aquilla acted very different. Virgo goes near Libra, "What is going on?" "What? What is going on?", she didn't got the idea about what Virgo was trying to ask. "Don't pretend Libra. Say it clearly, what is happening with you?"
Libra sighs heavily, frowning. "I just cannot tell you. Worry, tension, anxiety, those are what I am having. Don't know how to tell and what to do" Libra went from there. She planned to steal the book which was with Capricorn. Libra was just looking at Capricorn from afar. Capricorn's senses could tell him that someone was watching over at him. Aquilla pulled Libra and said, "I will call and talk to Capricorn, at that time you have to steal that book" Libra nodded.
Aquilla called Capricorn's name. He went outside the room. Libra got inside and took the book. She did not know that her beautiful dress' feather fell on the floor. She kept the book in her room at the table. Capricorn then came inside his room and searched for the book, in that process he got the feather. He remembered that it related to Libra's dress. He went down and called Libra. There, everyone came down. "What happened Cap? Why are you calling Libra?"
Libra came. Capricorn showed her the feather, "Whose is this?" Libra was surprised to see that. "Definitely yours right?",Capricorn said to her. She was fidgeting. "Yes, it is hers but why are showing it to her? You could have thrown that or left it like that", Taurus said to Capricorn. "Yeah but I showed it because the book I had in my room got stolen and I had this feather left in my room"
"Maybe it flew away and got inside your room", Pisces said. "That's okay, but I doubt Libra of stealing the book"
"I di- did not steal the book", Libra tried to defend herself. Leo, Scorpio and Taurus grew suspicious. Leo said, "Okay let's check on her room. If you are right Capricorn then we will find the book in her room" Leo seemed to take Libra's side more.
