Capricorn's POV

We're screwed. We're fucking screwed I thought to myself. We were all now inside of Leo's house panicking. I was pacing back and forth, Libra was shivvering out of terror, Leo and Scorpio tried to remain calm, Cancer was crying while Aqua was comforting her, and Aries was punching and kicking the wall. Gem was sitting at a corner with her knees tucked in.

"What the fuck are we gonna do?" Scorpio yelled out finally breaking the thick silence of words.

"I don't know," Aries yelled back stopping what he was doing. He turned back again and kicked the wall one last time.

"Do you think they saw Sagittarius making a trail of fire?" Cancer asked between her cries.

"I don't know," Aqua said, still comforting her. She laid her head on Cancer's.

"She's still gone," Leo said. "What if they get to her before we can?" he asked panicking more and more now.

"Who cares about Sagittarius right now," Scorpio said. Does he ever just stop?

Leo sat up from where he was sitting. "Look, I let it slide when you talked shit about her the first fucking time. I let it slide when you talked back to Aries the first fucking time, and do you know why? Because we were friends. You're balancing on a very thin line, buddy, and trust me, you don't want to fall."

Scorpio looked like he wasn't scared, but this time you can see it in his eyes. I'm not close with Sagittarius or anything, but he needs to let it the fuck go. Scorpio decided not to say anything. He and Leo had a glaring contest until Leo finally turned around from Scorpio's face.

Leo sat back to where he sat before and took his cap off that he always wore. His hair was messy and kind of curly under as he ran his fingers through them with one hand. His other hand was holding his cap as he sighed. I've never seen Leo this mad before. He's usually a go-with-the-flow type of guy. I'm even more surprised Aries is letting all of this slide. I see him by the wall on his phone texting.

"Who are you texting?" I ask him.

He looked at me then back at his phone, "Sagittarius."

I figured.

"She's typing," he says losing panic.

We waited for a good two minutes until Aries frowned and threw his phone across the other side of the living room wall letting it break, but didn't care.

"She fucking stopped typing," he said throwing his hands up in frustration.

Aquarius got up from the crying Cancer and started to speak. "We should call Virgo. She would know what to do."

"Great idea," Gem said standing up too. "We're driving to her house. Now, though," she says throwing me my keys.

She was the first person to leave through the door. She didn't care that people were watching her. The rest of us followed her. I was driving my car with Aries, Gem, and Scorpio. I let Aries in the passenger so he and Scorpio wouldn't argue over some stupid mess. Aqua drove her car with Cancer, Lib, and Leo. I wanted all the peaceful people in my car, but Aqua asked politely, so whatever she wishes is my command.

As I was pulling into Virgo's driveway, I see that her, Taur, and Pisces were walking up to their front door. Aqua pulled in after me. We all got out of the car and the three of them saw us, of course.

"Everything's okay?" Virgo asked looking specifically at me. I guess she looked at me because usually I would know what to do during huge crisises. I had no idea how to fix this one and I need her help.

I sighed and looked to the ground. I then looked right back at her and asked, "May we please come in?"

She gestured us to come inside. Taur and Pisces looked at each other while everyone entered Virgo's house.

Virgo had a bare face, and she was always pretty with makeup and without. Her hair looks a complete mess along with Taur and Pisces, although his hair has always been weird to me. They all looked exhausted.

She looked at me and then at Leo. "What happened?" She realized how quiet everyone was. "And where's Sagittarius?"

Leo impatiently spoke out when he heard Sagittarius' name. "We need your help."

"Okay... and what do you need help with?" she said laying back in her chair with her arms folded.

Everyone looked at each other. Nobody wanted to say it. It was a long moment of silence until we heard crunching. You guessed it. Taurus. Virgo and Pisces looked at Taurus and he stopped with a mouthful of food, "Thsorry." Virgo looked back at me.

There was finally another break of the silence. "Sagittarius is gone and people saw us use our power."

We all turned to see who said it. Scorpio. Virgo's eyes went huge. I couldn't tell if she was surprised or disappointed or both??

"What the hell do you mean people saw you use your power?" She was standing up now throwing her hands in frustration.

"Well, not me. More like Leo, Aries, Cancer, and Gemini," Scorpio responded with.

"We're not sure if they were there when Sagittarius used hers," Cancer said.

Virgo looked at all of us and walked around the living room. "What makes any of you think that it was okay to use your power outside your house?"

"Sag was mad and didn't realize she was doing it. Then it just turned into a lot of chaos," Gemini said hanging her head down.

"Well where is she now?" Virgo asked.

"We don't know," Libra said. "Aries texted her and she stopped typing. She doesn't want to be found I'm guessing," she finished.

"Huh. You think?" Scorpio said sarcastically.

"Wait," Pisces said. We all looked at him, including Virgo. He looked at Virgo and smirked just a bit. "I think we can fix this."

"How?" Taurus said. Pisces smacked him across his head. "Ow! What was that fo- Ohhhhhh!!!"

What's going on? Did they plan something out for something like this? Everything is starting to make my skin itch. We could be explored in labs, even worse be prisoned to use our power for people. We need a way to be safe.

"Follow me," Pisces says. Virgo's eyes lit up. I'm guessing she didn't understand what Pisces was talking about until he led us to Virgo's room. There were a lot of books. And by a lot I mean a lot!

"Ew, I'm allergic to those things," Leo said flinching.

Virgo rolled her eyes at him. "We've been doing some research. On Ophiuchus, specifically."

"Wait, but I thought you said it was just a myth," Aquarius said with a confused look.

Virgo looked at her with innocent eyes. "I did say that. I couldn't have you worry about these things until they really happen. Which was why after Leo threw the party," she said while glowering at him, "I decided to only figure this out privately."

"Why privately? We could've helped," Libra said.

"You guys didn't believe me. I can't solve this mystery with you guys thinking its a mystery game. This is real life," she explained.

"Here we go with the responsibility shit," Leo said impatiently rolling his eyes. Virgo ignored him.

"So how is this going to help anything?" Scorpio asked.

"Yeah. This isn't about this Ophiuchus guy. People saw us use our power," Gemini said scrolling through the books.

Virgo was looking for a specific book she found. "Aha! This one! It says 'Before Ophiuchus could arrive, it is most safe to summon Lupus, the most powerful sorceress-"

"Hold up. I thought Obeanicus was the most powerful," Aries said interrupting her.

"It's 'Ophiuchus.' And Lupus is the female version of a sorcerer. The only problem is that because they're both so powerful, Ophiuchus can't undo Lupus' spell, and Lupus can't do the same for Ophiuchus," she explained.

"But this is all about Ophiuchus. We need Sag back and to be safe from the people. Not Obeanicus," Aries said frustrated again.

Taurus continued to read behind Virgo. "'Lupus can take each zodiac with her before Ophiuchus' arrival. It is prophetted that Ophiuchus will return and the zodiacs will be able to be safe from him when he returns to the real world.'"

"What the hell does that even mean?" Libra asked.

"We're the zodiacs. It means when we summon Lupus, she can take us with her to safety," Pisces says.

"Believe in Ophiuchus or not, but we need to try to summon her. It's our only chance to make sure we're all safe from him and the people who saw you use your powers," Virgo says.

I think I believe her about Ophiuchus. I still don't have a lot of information about him, but I do believe it's not a myth anymore.

"You guys are actually believing this?" Leo asked looking at us.

"I don't believe in Ophiuchus, but if it means me and Cancer are safe, I'll summon this Lupus," Scorpio says holding on to his best friend's arm.

Leo looked back at Virgo, Taur, and Pisces. He clenched his jaw and started to speak again. "But Sagi isn't here." I could see he's worried sick.

"She doesn't need to be here. When everything's casted, we'll all be safe. Including her. She'll be with us still," Pisces says.

Leo clenched his jaw again. "Fine. Let's just get this shit over with," he said walking past Virgo.

"How does it start?" I ask.

"We can't do it now," Virgo says.

"Why the hell not?" Aries asked.

"If Ophiuchus is here, he'll go to the other world with us."

I thought long and hard. I didn't know if I was ready to make this big of a risk. If this Ophiuchus guy is real, we would be gone either way.

"He's not here, V, because he's not real," Leo says to her.

I could tell that Virgo was used to Leo's unwanted comments. She didn't seem annoyed by them at all anymore.

"If Ophiuchus is real, what if he already has Sagi," Gem said almost crying.

"Don't worry. He doesn't have her," Aries told her with his hand on her shoulder. She doesn't look up at him. I wonder if he believes if this is true or not.

"Do we even have enough time to think?" Aquarius asked impatiently.

"Someone call her," Libra asked.

Gemini took out her phone and began to call her. No answer.

Leo called her. Again, no answer.

"You call her, Aries," Taurus asked looking at him worriedly.

"I can't I broke my phone when I threw it," he said getting angry again.

Everyone began to worry, including myself. I'm not one to worry about anything, but this is getting realer nd realer by the second. People are probably looking for us now and spreading the word. We need to get out of here.

Everyone's phone buzzed. We all looked at each other at first and then slowly picked them up. It was just a message from Sagittarius who put us in a groupchat. She said she's okay. Everyone started to sigh out of relief except for Aries.

"I don't believe it's her," he said.

"What do you mean?" Libra asked him.

"I mean we don't know if that's really Sag."

"Someone call her again," Taurus said.

I decided to call her. I put it on speaker so all of us could hear. The phone rang a couple of times until it finally stopped. "Hello?" a voice said.
