Chapter two
Do you know what's extremely annoying?
What's extremely annoying it's when someone ignores your fake ass excuses, like ; Oh sorry I really can't today, my mum grounded me, or something like; Sorry but I really need to study, or my favorite out of all of them, I'm sorry I just checked my temperature and I'm sick, I really can't go out.
All these good excuses have been created by humans, not random humans, my humans, Libras, my people, my gang, my little bitches, as I like to call them.
People that love attention and making friends, that need to be invited to every single thing, but that would rather die than getting up from their bed to get to the place where they just got invited.
So they create big ass excuses, and I'm so proud of them.
The only problem here is that I'm not human, so these lies don't work for me, I don't have a mother to blame for being grounded, I don't go to school and I can't get sick, so I need to extreme lies to get through my days.
Lies such as; sorry but Saturn is making me really weak, or something like, so sorry but the Aries month is killing me, or my favorite; don't you see I'm getting ready for my period on earth?
"Rebecca" I cry softly against my pillow when I hear the annoying and loud voice of the littlest sign.
"Rebecca, we need to talk" Millie says arriving in my room and I take a deep breath while I keep my eyes shut hoping that she will think that I'm asleep, dead or that Saturn is not aligned with Uranus so I'm really tired.
"Libra!" She screams right next to my face making me jump scared and blowing my cover to ignore her.
"What?" I ask already annoyed, and the little yet annoying kid starts looking around in my room, taking a look of every single piece of art that I collected during my immortal life.
I'm a Libra, I love beautiful things such as art, and most importantly I love to spend my money on aesthetically yet very useful stuff.
That's why my temple is built as a modern house, the walls are made with glass and the inside is filled up with plants and a lot of sculptures and paintings that no human has ever seen.
The answer is cause I stole them from the artists, for example, I have a small painting that Picasso himself made in his last days.
And theoretically my temple, or as I call it my crib, should be occupied just and only by me, this is the rule, but guess what? Aries is like a god damn kid who doesn't give two shits about what rules are.
"How did you even got up here? Shouldn't you be at your temple? In the lovely Sahara where you, little cute fire sign, loves to live, burning in the hot weather " I remind her and she gives me a dirty look.
Every sign has a ruling element, and we live where our element stays, I'm an air sign, in fact, I live on the clouds, right over humans head.
"We need your help, we need to go to Pisces " She tells me and I get up from the bed grabbing the cup of tea just handed by my maid, once we called them our slaves, but we are in 2019, they prefer the maid thing.
Every one of us has some animals that we rule and that serve us as we are their masters, they help us to keep our temple clean and tidy and support us during our periods.
Since I'm a Libra my animals are reptiles, in particular, lizards and snakes.
And no, Taylor Swift is not a Libra, she's a damn copycat , that woman is a Sagittarius, everyone knows their animal is the horse.
"Yeah, look, I would love to help you guys, but unfortunately I need to get ready for my period, I have list of newborns to fill up, I need to check on my humans and make them stop to flirt and procrastinate, so yeah, I'm pretty much busy" I say with a fake smile before walking out of the room leaving Aries behind.
"Rebecca your period is in six months" Millie points out and I smile turning to face her while my coral snake helps me to put my fluffy flip flop on.
"Thank you Vibe" I say thanking my little maid "Yes Millie but as you know I love to be prepared and ready" I explain to her and she looks at me not believing any of my words.
"You are the least organized sign in this world, and now you want to tell me that you are getting ready? You usually start to do so on the same day your period starts" She says with her cold and sassy voice, my smile fall and I roll my eyes at her.
"Okay fine, you won, what's going on? Cause if you are making me move from my temple it better be something like the end of the world"
"Erin is planning the end of the world " Niall says in the moment I sit down on the chair in front of him.
"Oh well, at least I didn't move for nothing " I say trying to joke with Millie who's not getting it at all.
"Yeah we always knew that Erin was slightly evil, but there's Axel, he's like a cute and lovely Teddy Bear, I'm pretty sure he will handle it just fine, are we done now?" I say trying to stand up from the old ugly and dusty chair that Pisces offers me, but Millie's hand puts me back down.
"Axel is dead, Erin stabbed him with a knife made of pearl, their ruling stone" Niall explains and I fall back on the chair shocked.
Every sign has a ruling stone, we call it birthstone, humans believe that is their stone and that it will make them stronger, but what really does is killing us, is our kryptonite.
"That's terrible, we gonna fucking die, there's an apocalypse, why did you even call me? Couldn't you call Leo? She's braver than me, or call Michael, he has so much regressed sexual tension that he would be able to kill anyone" I start mumbling and venting but Niall shakes his blonde head before creating in front of me a scale, made with his ruling element, the water.
"We need to kill her, why does she even want to do it? Why are you showing me this? Shouldn't we panic now?" I say in total confusion, I am no good at handling bad situations, especially if the situation includes the end of the world.
"Erin is the sign of chaos and discord, every flown that Geminis have is in her, everything that she always wanted was power, the power to rule us all, and now that Axel is gone she's able to do that" Niall explains and I start shaking lightly.
"If we kill Erin, the world would fall in an unstoppable process of self-destruction, starting chaos and panic, and that's exactly what she wants" Pisces explains before taking a handful of sand and putting it in on a side of the scale, making it fall all in that side.
"What we need is a weight on the other side of the scale to balance everything again" He says before putting some white and clean sand on the other side making it equilibrate again.
"That metaphor, wow, it was like watching some crazy art shit " I say in complete astonishment before Aries interrupts me.
"Wait, that means that there are other signs out there?" She asks and Pisces nods before opening a dusty and big book.
"None of us ever died, but in the case someone does, the planets and the elements create another one" He explains and I crack a small smile of relief.
"That's perfect, easy peasy, why am I here again?" I ask confused and Niall stares at me with the eyes full of seriousness.
"You have to go down on earth and look for the Gemini " He says and I stay quiet for a moment before I crack-up.
"Okay, that's funny, it was a good prank, you almost got me, where's Sagittarius he has to be here somewhere with a camera " I say looking around for Louis but both Aries and Niall don't say a single word.
"This is not a joke, we need to reassemble in an astral reunion, Millie, go take them " Niall says all serious and the little kid at my side disappears leaving at her place a small flame.
I look at the old sign, he looks exactly like one of us, in his twenties, blonde, blue ocean eyes, and a friendly face, but inside he's like one hundred years.
"I'm not sure that this is the best idea" I comment and Niall smile a little.
"You are never sure Libra, now we need to go, the signs will arrive soon too"
Everyone hates family reunion.
Is just so boring to wait in a room for people who don't share anything with you but some blood or kids, okay, some of them might be enjoyable but the most of them are just a living hell.
And that's what an astral reunion is, we assemble all twelve to talk about humanity issues, destiny, predictions and sometimes shit that humans do like voting the wrong president, ruining the planet with pollution or creating some drama.
"It has been years from the last time we assembled all together," Calum says sitting next to me on his chair, I turn to my left to look at him, he has a tired face, his brown eyes are annoyed and his body is not tensed like mine, that's because he doesn't know what is about to happen.
I and he have always been like peanut butter and jelly, that's because we share the same ruling element, air.
I always liked Gemini too, especially Axel, he was so funny, on the other hand, Erin wasn't my BFF if we want to be honest here.
"The last time was when Trump got elected and we blamed the Gemini" I say and he nods before saying hi to Capricorn and Sagittarius who sit on the chair in front of us, one on the fire chair and one on the earth one.
"Look how nervous is Shawn, typical Cancer, I bet that he's already thinking about something like the end of the world, while in reality, this must be about something boring as the sadness of the Pisces in the planet" He jokes and I crack a nervous laugh.
"Maybe Shawn is not wrong this time" I mumble but before Calum could ask me something the loud voice of Cara interrupt us.
"Hey guys, what's up?" She asks with her usual big and friendly smile, wearing a sparkling dress that will guarantee her to be the light of the party.
Calum and I smile back politely before looking at her while she sits in the fire chair next to Sagittarius and Aries, I follow the order of the chair noticing the water signs like Pisces and Cancer and then one free chair next to me.
Oh hell no.
"Why do you have to always let him sit next to me? Please let's switch, take Gemini chair, is made for two, is the comfier" I whisper to Calum begging him to help him but he shakes his head before looking over me and smiles in amusement.
"Your nightmare has already arrived " He says and I roll my eyes before turning around with my fakest smile and saying hi to the least nice and least enjoyable sign ever, Scorpio.
"Hey, Michael, what's up? I was saving this place for you" I say with so much fakeness in my voice and his eyes look at me before getting back somewhere else.
"Cut the bullshit, Libra " He says with an annoyed tone before sitting next to me and making his chair turn blue.
Every seat becomes of the color of our elements, white for Calum and I, green for the earth signs, red for the fire signs and blue for the water signs.
Yeah, very extra but guess who decided that? Exactly, Leo.
"Niall seems worried, why don't we wait for Erin and Axel?" Calum asks a little bit confused and all the signs start making the same question creating whispers and concerned looks.
"Quiet, quiet, the reunion has started" Niall yell making all of them shut up, we all stare at him while he stands up from his chair and walks to the center of the room.
"As you have noticed Geminis are not here, and that's because our beloved Axel died, killed by his twin Erin" He says and all the signs gulp in shock while their face twist in horror.
"How is it possible?" Virgo asks fixing the glasses on his nose.
"That doesn't make sense" Continues Taurus.
"Are we getting pranked?" Sagittarius asks all amused and Capricorn slaps him in the back of the head telling him to shut up.
"Silence!" Niall yells again before clearing his throat.
"Erin is planning to destroy the world that we are protecting, in these years she has been working on creating a power system made only by Geminis, right in front of our eyes " The blonde boy says and all of us stay quiet.
"She wants the world to fall into chaos and when that will happen her newborns will kill ours, and if they die we die with them, she won't stop till the only creatures alive will be Geminis" He explains and Cara stands up in full anger.
"We need to kill her, now" She screams and Shawn starts shaking.
"No, we won't kill her, we can't leave Geminis without a guide" He explains and Harry clears his voice.
"We need to find someone to replace Axel " Virgo says with his usual smart ass voice.
"Exactly Harry, and there's only one of us who knows who this person will be" Pisces says before turning to me making my blood freeze while all the signs look at me in disbelief and shock.
"You have to be fucking kidding, right?" Harry asks in disappointment and Niall shakes his head.
"She's so damn slow" Taurus yells.
"And she's so lazy" Sagittarius continues and I look at them staying quiet.
"And she's so indecisive that she will just chicken out" Capricorn says in an annoyed tone, twisting the knife.
"Maybe she's not that bad" Scorpio interrupts and I look at him shocked, is he really defending me?
"Maybe we all gonna die in a fast way cause of her and we won't suffer" I roll my eyes shaking my head, I knew he was a bitch.
"Libra will be perfectly able to do what she needs to do, I know we all hoped in someone better like Capricorn or Virgo to save us all, but that's what the stars wanted and that's what will work" He says making a speech that doesn't really help me at all.
"Everyone really believes in you uh? " Calum says cracking a smile to me and I give him a dirty look.
"Rebecca, come here, signs rise and form a circle around her, water sings unite with fire ones and air with earth " Niall says with a calm but firm voice, we all rise following his orders and I walk in the middle of the room while all the other starts holding hands-
"We need to know who the Gemini will be, and the only one that can see it is Libra, but since is not her period she needs some of our powers " The blonde guy says and I nod quietly while all of them sight annoyed.
"Repeat after me " Pisces says before closing his eyes and focuses.
"My powers are your powers, in Saturn, we trust, in Venus we fall, and Pluto..." I close my eyes trying to focus on something that I really don't know what it is, I try to follow their voices to get to a prediction or something like that.
"Are you even trying?" Scorpio says noticing my struggles and I open my eyes to give him a dirty look.
"Maybe if you shut up I'll fucking try harder" I answer back and Pisces shuts us up.
"Rebecca, focus on what we are looking for, desire that with all of your heart, imagine being on that scale that represents you looking for your other half" He says and I nod before taking a deep breath and starting to feel something weird on my body.
My breath starts getting shorter and shorter and my legs start shaking, the voice around me disappear in the wind and I open my eyes in fear, the only thing I can see is pitch black.
I look around confused and scared and I feel my body less heavy like I'm not in the atmosphere, but there are no stars or planet around me, just darkness.
"Guys, I think we fucked up" I say confused but an evil laugh make me shut up immediately, I turn around looking for someone, I feel Erin presence, her voice, and even her smell.
My eyes keep looking for her face but they stop when a wet drop falls on my face.
I bring my hand to my face and I touch my wet cheek before watching it and noticing a red stain, blood.
Axel's blood.
"Stop being an asshole, Luke" A male voice catches my attention from behind and I turn around seeing a blonde tall guy, green eyes with a muscular body, sat on his couch watching television.
"My tv, my rules" Another boy says appearing from the darkness, he's taller than the other one but less muscular, his skin is pale and his hair is curly and blonde, and if I might say it, a little bit greasy.
"You are such a bitch " The muscular guy says and the blonde curly guy changes the channel.
"But karma gonna hit you back" He continues and the what's called Luke roll his eyes showing me his sapphire blue eyes.
A blue that i never saw before.
My breath gets hard again and I hear in distance the voices of the sign praying for me, I close my eyes when I feel a powerful wind hitting me and when I open them again I find my self in the room where I was before.
"So, who's the Gemini?" Virgo asks in the moment he notices me back in the real world.
"Is he hot?" Leo asks.
"Please, tell me he's nice" Shawn continues.
"I hope he knows how to stay quiet" Michael says annoyed by the other ones i shake my head before looking at Pisces who's looking at me concerned and worried.
"Did you see the Gemini?" He asks while his eyes fill up with hope and I nods slowly.
"Yes, I did" I answer still feeling the weird evil laugh and the feeling of the cold blood on my face.
"Who is it?" All the signs ask.
"He's called Luke Hemmings"
