11. Ritual

Libra's POV

"Hello?" a voice said. Everyone sighed in relief.

"We thought something bad happened to you," Capricorn said.

"I told you I was fine," Sagi said in monotone.

"Where were you?" Aries asked.

"Don't worry about it. I just need to cool off," she said.

"What made you so mad earlier?" Cancer asked.

There was a sudden pause. Everyone was waiting for her to answer Cancer's question. Sagittarius sighed. "I'm not mad at any of you guys. I just need to cool off."

"From what?" Aquarius asked.

Sagi huffed and puffed at the question that was obviously annoying her. "Stop asking questions." And before anyone could say anything else, she hung up.

I see Gem lower her head. Aries had a confused look on his face.

"Can we just get on with it now? She's safe. Can we worry about us?" Scorpio says impatiently not sounding a bit happy that Sagittarius was okay.

"Yeah," Virgo said nodding. "Let's start."

"How does this even work anyway?" Leo asked.

Virgo plucked a strand of hair off his head.

"Hey! Watch it!" he yelled.

Virgo then goes around and plucks my hair too. Then Scorpio's. And then her own. "To start it, we need a strand of each element's hair. Two guys and two girls. Now, another person of each element has to put down something that belongs to you. I'm guessing you or Aries have something of Sag's?" she asked Leo and Aries raising a brow and grabbing a basket.

Leo and Aries both took out something at the same time. Aries took out a ring that belonged to Sag when she was conning people. Leo took out a credit card and everyone looked at him.

"You have Sagi's credit card?" Aries asked him.

"She asked for it!" Leo says.

Aries rolled his eyes and gave Virgo the ring as Leo put Sagi's card back in his pocket. Gem shook her head at him and held her hand out. He then huffed and puffed and gave the card to Gem who put it in her pocket to give back to Sagi.

The other signs who didn't get their hair plucked put something that belonged to them in the basket Virgo was holding. Soon, the ritual would start.

"Let's hope this actually works," Scorpio said under his breath but loudly.

"Only one person from each element can start the ritual. So the four that didn't donate a strand of hair or an item has to start it," Virgo explained.

"No one donated. You just started plucking!" Leo said putting his cap on his head. Virgo slapped his arm.

Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries, and Cancer were in a circle holding hands to start it. They all closed their eyes and it was completely silent.

"Repeat after me. 'We summon thee Lupus,"

"We summon thee Lupus,"

"to bring us to safety."

"to bring us to safety."

"lupus enim si vocare te,"

"lupus enim si vocare te,"

"salutem adferat."

"salutem adferat."

"Now we wait," Virgo says.

It wasn't long until we waited. There was a big "woosh" in our ears. We turned to see what was coming, but we couldn't see anything. I looked at Capricorn who looked at me. I then saw Aquarius who looked at me too. Everything was spiraling. Not the world. But my head. Every bone in my body felt like it was going to collapse and I felt so dizzy, but I didn't know what it was. I then see Aries fall. Then Taurus. Then Gemini. Cancer, Leo, and Virgo fell too. All of the sudden I got more and more dizzy and I fell along with them.

Moments later...

I was still in Virgo's house when I awoke. I looked everywhere and Aries, Taurus, Gem, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo were awake too. I then see Scorpio, Cap, Aqua, and Pisces wake up too in that exact order.

"What the hell happened?" Scorpio asked using his elbows to help him properly sit up on the floor.

"Did it even work?" Leo said standing up. I could tell he stood up too fast because he was losing his balance. Everyone else stood up except for me.

"It should've worked," Virgo said almost losing it. She had a poker face and her hair was still very messy. "It should've worked," she repeated.

"So this was all a waste of time? What if people heard what we heard and try to take us with them? It was just a waste of fucking time," Aries said getting angry.

"Don't be angry at her, Aries," I say to him still sitting on the floor.

"Why not? I can tell you're just dying to tick like a bomb sometimes, Libra. This is reality! People get pissed off. People fuck up sometimes," he says looking at Virgo who had a tear down her face.

"It's normal to make mistakes, Aries," I say back to him.

"I don't need a therapy session. This whole thing isn't a mistake. It's fucking bullshit," he yells at me.

"Aries, stop," Gem says defending me and Virgo. "Virgo was trying to help us, and Libra is being reasonable here. Not everything is going to be perfect," she said.

"Aries is right though," Scorpio says. "We got blasted and fainted for nothing."

"If that were true, why did the spell kind of work? It's not a coincidence we fell for nothing doing the spell. Something happened," Capricorn said.

Now that he says it, he's right. Something was in that spell that made it partially work. I heard clapping behind me. I startled at the sound. The other 10 zodiacs were standing in front of me. So who is it? I slowly turned around to see who was standing in front of me.

"Welcome, zodiacs!" a voice called out. "I'm Lupus. You summoned me, correct?" she asked us.

No. Fucking. Way.

"Y-yeah," Leo answered.

"Wait, so the spell did work?" Virgo asked wiping a tear from her face.

"Of course it did. Sorry I was late to greet you guys, I didn't know when you guys would wake up," she said to us.

"If the spell worked, why are we still here?" I asked her.

She looked down at me. She was really pretty. She looked younger than I thought she would be. I could tell she was older than us though. She had blackish brown hair and thick brows that matched her face. Her eyes were brown and gorgeous and she had cute freckles like Gem.

"This is the other world."

She heads to the door. It was still night. Except in the sky, our constellations were clear and bright. It was extremely gorgeous to see. There were people outside, but not normal people. People that were just like us. Constellations into people. I couldn't believe any of this is true.

"So if this is real, that means Obeanicus is real too, huh?" Aries asked her with his arms crossed.

She frowned still looking outside ignoring the 22 eyes starting at her. "Yes. He is." She finally turns to us again. "Thank the gods he wasn't there to destroy you all. I can't fail to lose any of my people," she says.

I see Leo gushing over her beauty. She didn't notice it though. I don't even think she understands how gorgeous she is!

"So where's Sagittarius?" Capricorn asked.

"Wherever she was before. She's awake I know that for sure," she answered.

"How do you know? Do you have that kind of cool magic stuff that lets you know that?" Pisces asked her sounding excited.

She laughed. "No, not that. It's just that you zodiacs wake up in a specific order. My magic has it's limits here. But I'm still very powerful." She looked back and winked at us as she left. Everyone watches her as she leaves.

"Dude..." I say looking up at Cap and Aqua who were standing. "This shit is awesome."
