The zodiacs were in the dinning room. Aries's leg was broken so she had to walk on crutches that Capricorn made for her out of tree branches and vines.

Phoenix walked into the dinning room. "The police called, the abandoned building was a dead end."

"How?" asked Aries.

"It didn't lead anywhere important," replied Phoenix.

"But... how did the cloaked figure find us? I thought she was there because we were close our friends," said Aries.

"Maybe she was in the right place at the right time," said Libra.

"So, every element has a kidnapped zodiacs except for the earth signs?" asked Virgo.

Taurus slapped him. "Our friends are kidnapped and that's what you care about?"

"Hey! I was just making an observation!" argued Virgo.

"Scorpio, can I be a water sign?" asked Capricorn.

"Of course Cappy! We'll gladly welcome you," said Scorpio.

"What? Cappy is leaving us? You can't do that! Don't leave me here with this... shithead!"

"Really Taurus? That's the best you got? Cappy don't leave me with this spoiled little brat!"

"Why you-"

"Do I need to step in and make you guys stop arguing?" asked Scorpio.

"No," said Taurus and Virgo at the same time.

Capricorn laughed. "Scorpio should trade rooms with me to keep those two under control."

"That's not a bad idea," said Scorpio.

"So, Leo and Sagittarius were kidnapped for nothing?" asked Gemini.

"We shouldn't have let Sagittarius go. I assumed Scorpio would keep him from doing something stupid but since you guys split up, he had a perfect opportunity to get kidnapped," explained Libra.

"Oh. He got kidnapped to see Cancer again?" asked Pisces.

"That's what I think," said Libra.

"That's not an excuse. Taurus lost her boyfriend and her best friend and she's alright," said Gemini.

"Yeah, but keep in mind some people are mentally stronger than others," said Pisces.

"Oh. I forgot about that," said Gemini.

"But we can't give up now! We have to keep looking!" said Aries.

"You're not going anywhere with that broken leg," said Phoenix.

"So are we all just going to sit here until the kidnappers find us?" asked Capricorn.

"Let's give the police some time to find some clues, okay? They are trained for this kind of stuff and if you guys go out there, you're in danger of getting kidnapped," replied Phoenix.

"As Sagittarius said, the police are shit heads," said Libra.

"Tag!" then Aquarius tried to touch Hydra with his foot but she was too far away.

"Idiot," muttered Hydra.

"I'm so hungry," whined Cancer.

"Me too but I'm sure we'll get out of here soon," said Hydra.

"I know! I'll sing until you give me answers!" said Aquarius.

"No! Don't!" begged Cancer.

"BABY PULL ME CLOSER IN THE BACKSEAT OF YOUR ROVER~"

"AQUARIUS STOP!" screamed Cancer.

"... BITE THAT TATTOO ON YOUR SHOULDER~" then the door opened.

"What's dying in here?" asked the hooded figure.

"My ears," replied Cancer.

"Are you guys lonely?" asked the hooded figure.

"Yes. Maybe you should let us go so we won't be lonely anymore," suggested Aquarius.

"Or I can bring you more friends."

"Good luck catching anyone else. Especially the fire signs, Scorpio and Gemini, you'll never catch them," said Hydra.

"Funny you say that," then he pulled Leo over to the chair next to Cancer and tied him up. Leo kept trying to break free but the hooded figure held him down.

"Let me go!" demanded Leo.

"Oh yeah, that'll totally convince me to untie you," said the hooded figure sarcastically.

"How did he get you?" asked Cancer.

"She took me instead of Aries," replied Leo.

"My source tells me that he was going to be safe, but he got captured trying to help his girlfriend," the guy pointed a finger at Leo. "Sorry Romeo, this ain't a fairy tail. You don't get to save the girl and get away safely." Then he walked away.

"At least Saggi is safe, right?" asked Cancer.

"That's where you're wrong sweetie," mocked the hooded guy. Then he dragged Sagittarius over to a chair beside Aquarius.

"Cancer! Are you alright?" asked Sagittarius.

"SAGGI! Why'd you get caught?" asked Cancer.

"You caught two of the fire signs? How?" asked Hydra.

"Because my assistant is powerful," replied the guy as he tied Sagittarius to the chair. Then he left.

"Does everyone know what happened to us?" asked Cancer.

"We know that you guys were kidnapped," said Leo.

"Do you guys know anything about our kidnapper?" asked Aquarius.

"Scorpio, Virgo and Gemini went on a little mission to get some information," replied Sagittarius.

"Did they succeed?" asked Hydra.

"When does Scorpio not succeed?" asked Sagittarius.

"Right."

"Well at least they have Scorpio and Capricorn, the two biggest masterminds on their side. I'm sure they'll save us!" said Leo.

"Wait! Now that you guys are here," Aquarius nudged Sagittarius with his foot. "Tag."

Sagittarius nudged Aquarius back. "Tag."

"Tag."

"Tag."

"Tag."

"Tag."

"I don't know how much more of this I can take," muttered Hydra.

Scorpio was in the earth signs spare bedroom with Virgo and Taurus. Scorpio was almost finished her book. Virgo and Taurus didn't dare make a sound.

"You two are awfully quiet today. Capricorn told me you two fought a lot," said Scorpio.

"I'm reading a book on wattpad," replied Taurus.

"What? Pick a fight? I'd never do that!" said Virgo. Scorpio was bored so she decided to cause some drama. When Taurus looked away, Scorpio threw a pillow at her. Taurus immediately glared at Virgo.

"Why are you glaring at me?" asked Virgo.

"You know EXACTLY why," replied Taurus.

"Huh? I do?" asked Virgo.

"Don't do it again!" then Taurus went back to reading. Scorpio threw a pillow at Virgo.

"Hey! Taurus that wasn't nice!" said Virgo.

"What wasn't?" asked Taurus.

"Don't play dumb! You threw a pillow at me!"

"Do you have short term memory loss, because YOU threw the pillow at ME!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb!"

"The two of you are getting quite noisy over there," said Scorpio who tried not to smirk.

"He started it!"

"She started it!"

"I don't suppose I'll have to find a way to keep you two quiet, will I?" asked Scorpio. Taurus and Virgo went back to not making the slightest sound.

***

Capricorn and Pisces were in the water sign bedroom.

"It's so peaceful in here. I don't have to listen to Taurus and Virgo fighting," said Capricorn.

"Why do they fight so much?" asked Pisces.

"I don't know. They argue over Aquarius a lot."

"But can't they share him? Like he doesn't belong to one person."

"Not everyone thinks like that, Pisces."

"I suppose."

"I don't like sitting around and doing nothing all day. I'm getting bored."

"Me too. I feel so useless because we're not doing anything to help our friends."

"Maybe we should give the police a bit of time. If that doesn't work, we'll think of something, alright?"

"Okay. I'm going upstairs to get some of the cookies that we baked last night, want some?"

"Yes please!"

***

Aries was on the sofa. Her broken leg was bandaged. Gemini sat beside her so she wouldn't be lonely and Libra decided to talk to them because he had nothing better to do.

"I'm really worried about Leo. He got kidnapped trying to save me," said Aries.

"It's alright. We'll see each other again, I'm sure of it!" said Gemini.

"Why is this happening to us? We were living so peacefully until all of this bullshit started happening," said Libra.

"KITTY!" Pisces walked into the living room and picked Calypso up with one arm while carrying a plate of cookies in the other. Then Pisces went back downstairs.

"They stole Calypso from us," said Gemini.

"I'm so BORED! I can't do anything except watch tv," complained Aries.

"The only thing I have to do around here is paint, and I'm already sick of that," said Libra.

"What's going on over there?" asked Gemini. Then she pushed back the beaded curtains and peeped out the window. "Guys, there's a cloaked figure and it's looking into the window of the house across the street!"

"What?" Then Libra ran over to take a look. The cloaked figure knocked on the door of the house across the street. A woman opened the door and was knocked out by black mist. Then the cloaked figure walked into the house and looked around.

"She's going door to door looking for us!" said Libra.

"PHOENIX! HELP! WE'RE IN TROUBLE!" screamed Gemini while running upstairs.

"Where are we going to go?" asked Aries.

"We have to hide. Here, I'll bring you downstairs with the others," then Libra lifted Aries and brought her to the basement.

***

The zodiacs were in the basement when Phoenix, Pegasus and Gemini ran downstairs.

"All the lights upstairs are turned off. We'll have to turn these lights off too after. Follow me," ordered Phoenix in a hushed voice. Then she pushed one of the couches out from the wall. There was a trap door underneath.

"Why do you have a secret hiding place?" asked Pisces.

"Hydra built it for "certain circumstances" but she wouldn't tell me why. All she said was that something terrible could happen and she wanted to be safe in case she failed to prevent some kind of disaster," Phoenix pulled back the lid and jumped down. The zodiacs followed her. It was a long but short room, everyone had to crouch down in order to fit.

"Wait, someone get the lights!" said Phoenix. Capricorn climbed up, turned off the lights, and climbed back down. "Okay, when I close this lid, I need one of the air signs to use their powers to push the couch back."

"I've never used my powers without my target in sight before," said Gemini.

"You have to try."

"Alright." Then Phoenix closed the lid. They heard a bunch of furniture moving around but the couch scraped across the floor, covering the trap door.

"Mommy! I'm scared!" said Pegasus.

"It's okay sweetie. Just take a nap, okay?" asked Phoenix.

"Okay," replied Pegasus. Then she closed her eyes.

"Wait! What about Calypso?" asked Scorpio.

"The kidnapper isn't looking for cats, she should be fine," said Capricorn. 

***

Taurus walked out of the washroom. Woah. I know I've been in there for a while but I didn't know everyone went to sleep already. Thought Taurus. Taurus walked into the bedroom and climbed into bed. Then she realized that no one was there.

"Scorpio? Virgo?" Then Taurus heard glass shatter upstairs. What's going on? I have a very bad feeling about this. Taurus, who was freaked out, decided to hide in the closet just in case. Then she heard someone walking downstairs. Taurus covered her mouth and her nose with her hand to muffle her breathing.

Tap, tap tap. Unknown footsteps walked around the basement. Taurus was so frightened that she wanted to cry, but that wouldn't help her now. Taurus heard the door to the other spare bedroom open. Now she knew that something was definitely wrong. Taurus plucked a few clothes off the hangers and buried herself under a pile of clothes.

Taurus almost jumped when the door to her spare bedroom opened. She was sweating everywhere. Tap, tap, tap. The footsteps were getting closer. Taurus was afraid that her heart was beating too loudly. She nearly gasped when the closet door flew open. Taurus held her breath. A few hangers were being pushed around. Tap, tap, tap. The footsteps walked away and Taurus heard the door close. That was a close one! Taurus finally allowed herself to breath. All of the sudden a hand reached in the piles of clothes and wrapped around Taurus' arm. The nails dig into her skin.

"NO! STOP! HELP ME!" screamed Taurus. The cloaked figure pulled Taurus out and smirked at her.

"Tell me where the others are!"

"NEVER! LET ME GO!"

"You are going to tell me where the others are right now!" Then the cloaked figure slapped Taurus across the face. Taurus kicked the cloaked figure in the leg. The cloaked figure let go of her and Taurus darted for the door. Taurus was almost out of the room when her body stopped and she couldn't move. Taurus noticed a bunch of black mist holding her in place. The cloaked figure kicked Taurus in the leg for revenge.

"I'm never telling you a thing!" spat Taurus.

"Then this is going to be a painful night for you." The her palm smacked Taurus across the face.

***

The cloaked figure smacked Taurus again and again. Taurus begged for the pain to make her pass out, but every time the world went black, the next wave of pain brought her back. It wasn't until the cloaked figure smacked her a little too hard before she passed out. The cloaked figure couldn't find anyone else so she gave up and decided to come back later.
