Chapter 5.
(Aries' pov)
I looked away at the dead body hanging from the ceiling, only to feel sick to the pit of my stomach. I knew what we were doing was wrong, really wrong. Every instinct i have begged me to stop libra, however after what scorpion has done to scorpio... i couldnt do it.
"Your turn," Libra smirked causing me to gulp as i saw an side of one of my family i never knew existed. The darkness within each and everyone of us. Libra raised the blade again ready to kill, only for Capricorn to grab her hand to prevent the doom of the anti Leon, "what are you doing?" She growled snapping at him.
"I think you should step outside and take a walk," Cap spoke sternly as libra opened her mouth as if to argue her case, only to close it quickly. She turned back to the lifeless body hanging from the ceiling. Guilt and regret washed over her face as she suddenly turned pale. In that moment she realised the loss of innocence within her had gone.
As she quickly left we all looked to each other as soon as the door slammed, "the will be losses in this war, however we do not have to lose ourselves," Capricorn spoke wisely looking between Leo and i. "In order to win the war we must defeat the opponent, in order to defeat the opponent the must be death. All wars hold violence, chaos and death, this one is no different," he explained looking down with an tinge of sadness, "to kill another you could save a million... and to save one you could kill a billion," he added, only to hand the knife to Leo.
Leo grasped it firmly with a gulp and a twinge of fear. I couldnt help but look towards Leon and her fate, "wait! If i tell you that you can kill us will you spare me? Please! I dont want to die!" She pleaded with tears flowing from her icy eyes, "please! Please! No! Im too beautiful to die here! Not this way!" She weeped as Leo looked at the floor getting closer and closer as i stopped him.
"Speak," i demanded staring at the helpless Leo.
"Only our opposites can kill us. We can kill you and you can kill us okay!" She spat out, causing me to look to cap who looked just as cautious as i, "we have thousands of troops all over the globe waiting for the 7th signal," She added with tears flowing like the thames down her face," please dont kill me, i can be of use to you!" She added begging for her life, "i didnt chose to be created!" She snapped with a sudden turn of character, "As soon as i kill you ill be free," she smirked glaring at leo who turned to me and Cap.
"Do it," Cap announced causing Leo to turn back and with one action kill the other Leo with the knife piecing her heart.
"Thank you," she chocked with a smile resting on her face as her eyes slowly closed and peace rested on her face.
"I dont feel to good," Leo spoke dropping the dagger, only to collapse into my arms. I quickly lay him down on the stone cold floor to check for a pulse.
"He's alright," i sighed with relief along with Capricorn, "it must drain your energy, right?" I questioned as Cap analysed Leo carefully, before nodding in agreement.
"Lets go," He spoke as i picked up Leo and Cap picked up the blood smoothed dagger, only to exit the room of horrors i hopes we would only find one alive later.

(Aquarius' pov)
"So are we actually doing this?" I questioned wondering what was wrong with where we are now. I liked my home, finally settled down for once with the place ooosing with memories. The very thought of losing our home crushed my dreams of having a family here, having a life, having a true home.
"Doing what?" Aries asked walking in, only to dump Leo on the couch like a sack of potatoes, leaving everyone looking concerned, " dont worry he's just fainted he'll wake up in a bit," he smiled as Pisces rushed over to him, whilst glaring at Aries who quickly shrugged it off.
"We are going to move to the suburbs of settle, a brand new Caldy sack has opened and it has more than enough houses for all of us to have each," Cancer explained with Taurus beside her supporting her decision, wanting an escape from here. Yet it wasnt just escape she wanted, i could detect a certain darkness within her as our eye contact met as the person staring back at me wasnt Taurus it was a stranger.
"Im in," Aries smiled, ultimately knocking me from my thoughts, before taking Cancers hand as the other 8 of us looked between each other, "come on guys its crowded with us living with the wolves, isnt it time we get our own space?" He added persuading us as i looked to libra as if to ask if it was what she wanted.
"Its the safest thing to do," Sag stated, " of course we are coming," he smiled with Gemini. I looked to Libra knowing that we'd be sharing a house with them and it would be our next step to a future with just us, a family and the perfect life.
"Fine, i guess we'd better come too then," libra sighed, causing me to smile as she rolled her eyes.Pisces nodded in agreement for her and Leo, as she continued to cradle him out of concern.
"Cap?" I raised a brow as he sighed clearly having to think for him and his children.
"Like you said, its the safest place and we are vulnerable here," he began looking to each of us, "but i dont want to leave Virgo behind, she could be here soon," He stated clearly still thinking of her as always.
"You wont have to," Miss Smith spoke looking to Capricorn, "i'll stay and wait for Virgo to return, then we will join you," She announce, causing him to open his mouth to rebel, "think of your kids," she added making him stop, only to nod in agreement.
"Okay then, i'll come but we leave tonight," he spoke, only to walk upstairs clearly torn between leaving his mom and his love behind and the safety of his possible children.
"Okay! Everyone start packing," pisces announced with everyone evacuating the living room, only to leave Leo behind unconscious and alone.

(Miss Smith's pov)
I followed Capricorn upstairs as he stomped his feet, like he did as a child, causing me to smile. "Capricorn," i spoke sternly with a raised brow with a mixture of amusement and love. "Capricorn," i repeated with a sharp tone causing him to whip his head round to face me.
"What?" He snapped clearly in a foul mood, "how am i supposed to look after those 3 in a house alone?" I sighed as he opened his room door to only be greeted with tiny three innocent triplets. "I cant even look after myself, how am i supposed to be a dad?" He murmured helplessly as he fell onto the bed as did his head to his hands.
"Capricorn, look at me," i spoke as he raised his head out of his hands as i kneeled in front of him to face him, "you are the strongest, most self reliant person ive ever met in my entire life," i began with a smile on my face in reassurance, "you will look after your children because they are yours, and because you have learnt from my mistakes," i explained feeling a twinge of guilt that twisted my gut as i knew i had abandoned him as soon as he hit 5, "your too good of a man to do that, which makes you the best farther that these kids could wish for," i added causing him to smile.
"Thanks," he smiled causing me to smile in return feeling as if this was the first time i had been a mother to my son, just as it should have been for the past 60 years but times change fortunately.
"Right, lets get packing they will want to be leaving soon," i announced as i grabbed his suit case from underneath his bed and started to place each item of clothing into the bag, thinking and hoping that Virgo would return with hast.
Pretty soon all his bags were packed and even the triplets had a rucksack to themselves. I picked up the little boy feeling most close to him as Cap picked up his girls, causing me to smile as i watched them snuggle to his chest, "have you decided their names yet?" I inquired looking down at the little boy who slept in my arms.
"I cant really say yet without virgo, however i want to call the little guy Tristan," He announced staring at his beautiful son, "im really bad at girl names if it were up to me this one would be called Sparrow and the other Snowflake so im going to wait to name them all when Virgo returns," He laughed as we started to head out towards the car.
I clicked open the range rover, which had three tiny baby seats inside. One green, one brown and the other purple, typical capricorn i thought to myself picturing their colour clothes when they are 2. I place little Tristan in the small green seat next to where Capricorn would be driving, and the girls he placed in the back.
"Is anyone coming with you?" I wondered catching his attention as he opened up the boot of the car.
"Libra insisted that she should come because shes great with kids, so shes going i between the girls to help me out," He chuckled before heading back inside to grab the rucksack and 3 suit cases worth of his and Virgo's stuff, being the simple guy he is only one of those suit cases belonged to him.
I stared between the three angels before me thinking how i could miss their first few weeks, after all they are only a few days old. However, Capricorn quickly returned with Libra by side who smiled at me with assurance that she'd try her best to keep them save on the trip.
"I guess this is goodbye," I spoke feeling as empty as before, like i was losing my little boy for the third time.
"Its not," He smiled pulling me into a warm embrace, " youll be home before you know it, besides i need you to bring virgo back to me," He chuckled before hopping in the car and sliding the window down.
"Now you all be good for you dad," i laughed struggling to believe that Capricorns finally a farther, "now go before i change my mind and come with you," I cried wiping away a tear that fell from my eye and with that Capricorn slowly pulled out the drive way following the other 2 cars full before him, leaving me alone to wait for Virgo.
