Leo was running. He looked back. She was gone. He didn't know what scared him more, if he looked backed and saw her chasing after him or if she was completely gone. He never should of agreed to this. Then he saw the mansion up ahead. His legs felt like jelly but he had to keep running. When he was almost there he saw her waiting for him. He ran into the front yard and fell down breathing hard.

"Looks like I win again." Aries looking down at him.

"Ugh. What's my... punishment for... losing this time?" asked Leo.

"This time you have to go buy the rest of us smoothies," said Taurus.

"We decided to go easy on you this time," said Cancer.

Leo frowned. "Well I'm the only one that raced her... so let's see you guys run."

"We aren't super competitive and you're the one that thought you could out run them," said Libra.

Sagittarius gasped. "Hey! I ran too! It was a tie for first place."

"Was not!" said Aries.

"Yeah you both tied," said Gemini.

"Anyway here's some money. When you get back with the smoothies, we can watch a movie or something." Capricorn handed Leo fifty dollars.

Pisces pouted, wearing a cheerleader outfit and holding a banner with a lion. "I was cheering for you this time Leo!"

"How close was I?" asked Leo.

"They got here around a minute before you did," replied Virgo.

"Can I have a strawberry banana smoothie please?" asked Aquarius. Then everyone started telling Leo what kinds of smoothie they wanted all at once.

"I'd like extra whipped cream please!" said Scorpio.

Leo put Scorpio in a headlock. "How about a punch in the face instead?"

"Fight me!" said Scorpio.

Pisces tackled him from behind causing him to fall. Leo laughed and ran off to the smoothie shop.

An hour later, everyone was waiting. They all sat in the living room watching tv.

"What's taking him so long?" asked Aries.

"Be patient," replied Gemini.

Taurus didn't look up from his show. "He's been gone over an hour, he should be back soon."

"I wonder if I made a terrible mistake," said Cancer. "Maybe I should of ordered Blueberry instead of blackberry."

"Nah. Blackberry is good," said Taurus.

Cancer poked Taurus. "Okay but if I don't like blackberry can we trade smoothies?"

"Whatever," replied Taurus.

"Is that a ship I see?" joked Pisces.

Scorpio rolled his eyes. "Stop shipping everyone with everyone Pisces."

"I'm not shipping everyone with-"

"Last week you shipped Gemini and the math teacher," said Capricorn.

Aries elbowed Gemini. "Ooh Gemini likes that mean old witch?"

"No!

"She's not mean just very strict," said Virgo.

Sagittarius smirked. "She shipped you and the janitor."

"What?!?" asked Virgo with a disgusted expression.

"Actually I'm the one that shipped Virgo and the janitor," said Libra.

Aquarius sighed. "Anyway, let's call Leo and see what's taking him so long."

"He'll get here when he gets here," said Capricorn.

Libra paused before saying, "What if something happened?"

"It's no good. He must be driving home because he won't answer his phone," said Aquarius. Then they heard a knock at the door.

"Finally!" said Aries.

Gemini opened the door with a confused expression.

"What is it?" asked Virgo. Then everyone looked out the door.

There was eleven smoothies sitting in a line with random words written on the cups.

Capricorn picked up his smoothie. "I think it's a message."

They took the smoothies inside and arranged them in a certain order so they spelled out a message. Capricorn looked horrified and the message. He. Has. Been. Kidnapped. The. Rest. Of. You. Losers. Are. Next.

"Kidnapped? By who?" asked Cancer.

Taurus furrowed his brow. "But... Callie was arrested."

"Maybe she broke out?" asked Sagittarius.

"No. This is a prank. He's joking with us," said Libra. "LEO STOP THAT YOU SCARED ME FOR A SECOND THERE!"

No answer.

"Callie was the only person we knew that was interested in astrology," said Capricorn.

"LEO? LEO! STOP THAT COME OUT NOW!" yelled Libra. "L-Leo?" Then she ran outside to look for him.

"Libra!" yelled Pisces.

Scorpio studied the smoothies. "Hmm... maybe it isn't a prank."

"NO!" yelled Aquarius.

"No what? What's going on?" asked Virgo.

Aquarius buried her face in her hands. "Th-the monster..."

"The monster, who's that?" asked Sagittarius.

"A-At the orphanage... I was there before I met you guys... she was the one that owned it. She was interested in astrology... and she..." Aquarius started crying. "She was horrible!"

Cancer gave her a big hug and she cried into his shoulder. "It's okay Aqua. It's okay."

"Better get rid of those smoothies. They could be drugged," said Aries.

Pisces threw them in the garbage.

"So wait... We have a Callie number two on our hands?" asked Sagittarius.

Aquarius nodded between sobs. "This time she's more cruel. She's a cruel, cruel person."

"And she has Leo!" said Virgo.

"Oh no! Not again! No! No! No!" said Aries.

Virgo yanked on her hair. "We can't get kidnapped again!"

"She's right! Everyone watch your backs from now on. I'll go call the police!" said Pisces.

Gemini locked the door and closet her curtains. "Let's call in sick for work and avoid school as well."

Taurus rolled his eyes. "You just want to get out of that math test."

"He's right. The kidnapper knows where we live. Everyone pack your things we're leaving in an hour!" said Capricorn.

Aries started at the door with wide eyes. "Did you have to say that? The thought of her knowing where we are terrifies me."

"What about Libra?" asked Taurus.

"I'll go find her," said Cancer. He ran outside.

"Where are we going?" asked Gemini.

"She might have installed microphones or cameras. It's not safe to say anything yet," said Capricorn.

Cancer and Libra walked in the house.

Libra was crying because she just realized Leo was actually gone. "Why? Why are they doing this to us?"

"We don't know. But we need to leave," said Virgo.

Everyone ran upstairs to pack their stuff.

***

Leo woke up. He was in a dark room.

After his eyes adjusted, he looked around. The room had a cold floor and four grey walls. A toilet sat in one of the corners, shielded from anyone looking in. The back wall had the Leo sign painted with red paint. He walked over and tried to open the metal bars that were used as his door. Locked.

"Hello? Callie?" asked Leo.

A girl spoke somewhere down the hallway. "I used to go by that name. But now I'm Pegasus."

"Callie? Why are you kidnapping us again?"

"Leo? Anne, I said take one of the smart ones!"

"Hey I'm not stupid. Just a little crazy and insanely good looking." Leo ran a hand through his hair.

"Yeah. Right."

"Yeah but he was in a situation that made it more convenient for me." A woman suddenly appeared, walking towards Leo.

"Ha! I know what convenient means! That means I AM smart!" The woman with long black hair walked up by Leo's room. Her eyes were almost black and just her presence made him uncomfortable. "Why are you doing this?"

"Wouldn't you like to know. I'll tell you your purpose as soon as I capture everyone else."

"Who are you? Are you Callie's older and uglier sister or something?" asked Leo.

"PEGASUS! My name is now PEGASUS!"

The woman sighed. "Were you dropped on the head as a baby?"

Leo nodded. "Probably. Looks like you were dropped multiple times. On your face."

"You think you're funny don't you? And my name is Anne."

"Hello Anne. You have a little piece of human flesh stuck between your teeth. Right there." Leo pointed to a section in his teeth.

"Whatever. You'll have a few friends to join you soon enough," said Anne. Then she walked back out to her office and decided which one to go after next.

The remaining zodiacs were split up. Taurus, Libra, Aquarius and Capricorn were in group one, Sagittarius, Aries, Virgo and Gemini were in group two and Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces were in group three. They checked into a hotel an hour away from the city they lived in. They shared rooms based off of what group they were in.

***

"So I'll sleep here with Taurus while Aqua and Libra sleep over there," said Capricorn.

Taurus chuckled. "Not a good idea. I move around a lot while I sleep."

Capricorn rolled his eyes. "It can't be that bad."

"I just want Leo back," said Libra with puffy eyes.

"We all do." Aquarius played with Libra's hair because it calmed her down.

"Why are we being targeted again? What did we ever do wrong?" asked Libra.

"Nothing. We didn't do anything wrong. The police will find Leo and we'll be able to go home soon," said Capricorn reassuringly.

"Why don't we sing songs?" asked Taurus.

"I miss Leo's singing! Even if it sounded like a cat being strangled!" said Libra with tears gathering in her eyes. Aquarius called for a group hug and the three of them hugged Libra.

"What if monster finds us?" asked Aquarius.

"She won't. We're safe here," said Capricorn.

"Promise?" asked Taurus.

"I promise," said Capricorn although he wasn't too sure himself. "Here I brought bags full of snacks. Want some?"

"Ooh! I want everything!" said Taurus.

"Okay you'll get ONE chocolate bar," said Capricorn. Taurus frowned and ate the chocolate. Then Capricorn tossed Aquarius and Libra some candies and some chips.

"You guys gonna eat those chips?" asked Taurus.

"Yeah," said Aquarius pulling the chips away from Taurus.

"What if they hurt him?" asked Libra.

"They won't. Not until they get us all first," said Capricorn.

***

Sagittarius, Virgo, Aries and Gemini were watching tv.

"It's not the same without Leo," said Sagittarius.

"I know what you mean. He was the fire cracker of the zodiac," said Virgo.

"We never should of raced him," said Aries.

"Don't you dare blame yourself again!" said Gemini while wrapping an arm around Aries.

"But what if it was our fault?" asked Sagittarius.

"It wasn't. If they took Leo they they would have taken either one of us sooner or later," said Virgo.

"I want this to be over!" said Sagittarius.

"Let's try to distract ourselves. How about we face time Taurus and Capricorn?" asked Virgo.

"Okay," said Sagittarius. Then Virgo face timed Taurus with her I-pad.

"Wait! Aries can track Leo's phone with that app she used to find Pisces!" said Gemini.

"Right." Then Aries checked the app. Then she sighed.

"What?" asked Gemini.

"It says his phone is in a ditch beside the smoothie shop."

"Great," said Gemini sarcastically.

"Let's call room service," said Aries.

"You guys want anything?" asked Gemini.

"Yeah I'm starving!" said Sagittarius.

"What?" asked Taurus from the I pad.

"We're just ordering food," said Virgo.

"Hey! Do NOT spend all our money!" warned Capricorn from the screen.

"Well there's Sag, Aries and Gem so I see your point," said Virgo.

"They'll spend every dime we have!" said Taurus.

"We wouldn't do that!" said Sagittarius.

"One time we went to the amusement park in that city that was a few hours away and you guys spend half our money on giant teddy bears," said Virgo.

"In our defence those bears were adorable," said Aries.

"And we got one for you too," said Gemini. Then they ordered food from room service.

***

Cancer was playing a game on his phone, Pisces was reading and Scorpio tried to make Cancer mess up on his game.

"Seriously?!? I was about to beat my high score," said Cancer annoyed.

"I know," said Scorpio.

"Hey Scorp?" asked Pisces.

"Yeah?" asked Scorpio.

"Now that Leo's gone, you should confess your undying love for him while you have the chance," said Pisces smirking. Cancer started laughing. Scorpio looked at Pisces.

"That's too funny. His girlfriend wants him to confess his undying love for one of his best friends!" said Cancer. Scorpio threw a pillow at his face.

"He's not denying it," said Pisces. Scorpio rolled his eyes.

"Yes I am denying it! Go ship Leo and Gemini or you said something about Taurus and Cancer earlier. Oh and Virgo and the janitor, that was hilarious! I wonder what the janitor would say if he heard that one!" said Scorpio.

"Yeah but Scorpio's reactions are funny!" whispered Pisces to Cancer.

"I know right!" said Cancer. Then Pisces got two finger puppets. One had black hair and the other had crazy blond hair and started playing with them and made them confess their love to each other.

"Does this hotel have a pool?" asked Scorpio.

"You're the reason Capricorn only checks into hotels with pools," said Cancer.

"I'll go for a little swim," said Scorpio.

"Me too!" said Pisces.

"Why not?" said Cancer. Then the three of them took turns in the washroom and when they put on their swimsuits they went swimming.
