Chapter 60

There's an uproar after my father and I's speech. The Pisces people didn't take the news well than what I hoped for. Shawn slides down his palm across my back, resting near my butt as he guides me and everyone over the shouting people of Pisces. Megan is trying to make everybody calm but nobody is listening to her. When I take a look over my shoulder, a person that I know very well stands in front of the mic, he has a hard expression plastered across his beautiful face. To be honest, this is my first time that I've seen him this very serious. He stands in front of everyone, his hands clenching beside him as he scans the area. People are still freaking out.

"Stop!" Brent commands everyone that even us stop just to look at him. My full attention is now on him. He raises his hand, watching his fingertips mingle with the air, pink particles going and flying around his fingers. People stop at Brent's command and they all stare at him with furrowed brows, probably thinking why they suddenly stopped arguing. "I'm a Taurus guy. My power is mind manipulation. Now it's either you come with us willingly or I'll force you. This is the battle that will set us free if we succeed. Be a coward, I'll let you. There's another world that awaits for us out there. A world that is probably better than this. If we fight unitedly, then we will win. We need your cooperation. I know I'm not in the right position to say this because I'm not a leader, but I have a strong belief that everyone cannot see. I could easily control everyone just by using my power, and no, I'm not threatening you; I will just force you to see the world that has been waiting for us."

The gush of the wind howls loudly across the silent area. It seems like the water has stopped from flowing and running. Everyone stares at Brent with admiration. People begin to murmur to their friends and relatives while their eyes are still focused on Brent, whose chest is heaving up and down rapidly. The pink particles around his hand can still be seen, and it looks like he's close to use it to everyone without giving it a second thought.

"Whether you like it or not, we are already in a battle." Brent continues, and the pink particles that have been flying and going around his hands have disappeared. I have never been more proud of Brent. A smile etches its way across my lips and I run in his direction, jumping at him as I wrap my arms around him. He chuckles as we both fall on the ground. Shawn stands behind me, offering a hand at us but before I get it, Brent beats me to it as he grabs Shawn's hand and lifts the both of us. He turns on his heels and looks at everyone. "Are we going to fight side by side? Are you with us?" He asks everyone.

My heart beats with nervousness as I stare at the people of Pisces.

A man with a blond hair steps up, his hands are inside his pocket as he lifts his chin up. He looks like in his early twenties and I do recognize his face. This man is always guarding the gates, always playing with the water and forming ice structures, or slides for the kids to slide on. His electric blue eyes found ours, and a small smile crawls onto his lips. He shakes his head, grinning. "I'm up for it." He takes off his hand in his pocket and lets his hand fly on the right direction and the water bursts upwards, like a fountain and it suddenly becomes ice; the ice's ends are pointy and deadly. "Let's show 'em what we can do."

Each Pisces steps up, doing the same thing as a sign of telling us that they will join willingly. Brent gives me a courageous smile and I high-five him. Shawn wraps his arms around me, my back resting against his hard chest. He leans down to plant a soft kiss on my neck and I shiver, pursing my lips to keep myself from moaning out loud in public. I glare at him.

As I wear a blue armor inside my room, Shawn goes inside my room without my permission, as if he doesn't have to ask my permission to do such things. I look at my armor in the mirror, a Pisces symbol, two fishes swimming around, embroidered on the chest area, where my heart is placed. Shawn is wearing an armor as well, a black one; it fits his personality. Powerful, intimidating, unfriendly, unapproachable. Though black covers his aura, deep inside, he cares a lot. He wraps an arm around me and we both stare at each other through the mirror. I sigh against his touch, inhaling his addictive scent. He chuckles as he kisses me on my cheek.

"I love you," he whispers in my ear, biting my earlobe and I moan, shutting my eyes as Shawn's hand goes down across my tummy to my lower region. He fondles with me for a bit before he kisses me full on the lips, biting and tugging my lower lip that sends electricity throughout my body. "Pisces and Aries. Both troubles for each other yet we love to keep each other." He says through our heated kiss.

Throwing me on the bed, Shawn runs towards the door's direction and locks it as soon as the door is within reach, then he goes back on the bed, crawling on top of me as he stares at me with so much lust swimming in his eyes. My breath hitches as the tip of his tongue traces my armor, upwards, until it reaches my throat. I moan when his hot tongue lands on my Adam's apple, hands shooting upwards to clutch his shoulders.

"We're about to go to a battle and look at you," I chuckle. He shakes his head as he cups my face, staring at me with so much emotion. He leans down slowly and captures my lips with his; this kiss is more passionate and full of love. The kiss we're sharing is different from the kisses we've shared before. He lets go of my lips only to watch me with his lovable and beautiful eyes. "I love you, too, Shawn. More than you could ever know."

"After this," he begins nervously, rolling off of me and staring at the ceiling. His hand holds mine, not letting go. I roll to my side, anticipating what he'd say next. "After this, I want to marry you." What he said shocks me that I nearly faint. He looks at me nervously, hoisting himself up as he studies my expression, determining if I'm happy with his confession or not. Marriage is big. As in really, really, big. "Are you okay? Did my confession shock you too much? I'm being serious, Dylan! I want to marry you after this. You're... you're, like, the love of my life? I hate saying things like this but for you I'd say it in a heartbeat. God, I'm so in love with you."

Laughing, I put an index finger on his lips to stop him from saying too much. "Shut up, it's a yes." His eyes widen, rolling his body to look at me. I chuckle, tweaking his nose and that's when he breaks into a huge smile. He captures my lips again with so much force that I'm taken a back just slightly. "Shawn, stop! You're tickling me with your stubble!" Shawn runs the tip of his nose across my jaw and I roll off the bed, swinging my feet on the ground as I stand up. I fix my armor and look at myself once more.

"Are you ready to kick some asses in the Zodiac City?" He asks me, eyeing me through the mirror. I smile at him, nodding. "Then let's go. Your people are waiting now."

Shawn takes my hands and lead me. I look over my shoulder to scan my room. I never thought that I'd leave this place so soon. This room has been my sanctuary for so many years, basically ever since I was born. Penelope, my best friend, and I have had sleepovers here in my room and we share secrets here as well. Pictures hung on the walls of my room and I resist the urge to grab one. I'm going to miss this house. I'm going to miss my hometown. Once we step outside of the Pisces town, that's when the real battle starts.

As I get out of my house, my mom, father, Damen, Brent, and Penelope Fisher are waiting for me. The people have their own armors, even Megan, who was always wearing gowns and dresses. Shawn squeezes my hand and I squeeze his back, smiling to myself. We walk together, people are making a way for us and once we're facing the door that leads to the Journey, I stop.

"We are Pisces. We are united. We fight together. We will win."

The big door opens slowly, creaking as it opens wide for us. The blue sky has turned bloody and the bracelet that Shawn has given me has converted into a blue spear. Shawn plants a kiss on my temple and together, we lead the way.
