Gemini

All twelve Zodiacs slept in the same room, zipped up in sleeping bags. The lights were completely off and the only light was coming from the moon. The tall trees casting shadows in the room. It was already 2 A.M, but most of them were not fast asleep for we were worried about what the day would bring. The rustling of sleeping bags filled the room as some tossed in turned trying to get comfortable.

"Can you guys like stop moving," Taurus said, sleepily.

"Mhmm... It's getting annoying," Aquarius yawned.

"If the floor wasn't uncomfortable I would be asleep by now," Virgo said fidgeting louder before lying completely still from being smacked with a pillow.

"I agree with Virgin boy. How come the adults get the beds?" Capricorn said from the other side of the room.

"Maybe because there's twelve of us and there was only three beds?" I told him.

"I say the fire signs sleep on the floor and the rest of us get the beds. They are already asleep by the looks of things," Aquarius suggested.

"Hey! I'm still awake!" Leo exclaimed.

"Hey I know this is irrelevant but like has anyone else's parents been trying to reach them?" I asked out loud.

"Yeah, I just turned it off though," Pisces said from beside him.

He saw the flickering of lights as people checked their phone then followed by a "Yep."

"Oh I have no idea. I threw mine into the airport's garbage can because it was have a seizure. That women's crazy," Aquarius said.

Everyone stopped moving for a few minutes before Libra bursted up from his sleeping bag. "I think that while we are awake, or most of us, we need to get rid of this ongoing tension."

"What are you talking about?" I asked, sitting up as well.

Virgo plopped up with his eyes closed. "Dude, everything's chill. Go to sleep or try to, at least."

"Everything's not fine though. Everyone since the start of the war, we have been dividing further apart. We are literally classifying each other like King Basil did. Fire, Earth, Water, and Air!? We literally were a tight group before he separated us," Libra ranted before lying back down. "Just ignore my rant."

"No. I think you are right, Libra," Pisces said with agreement. "Sure we had our ups and downs but now I feel like there's a tear that's been poorly sewn back together."

The room was silent as we took in their words. I laid there thinking about life before King Basil was crowned king but strangely I couldn't. Frowning, I slowly sat up. "Guys how did King Basil become King again?"

"He was chosen by the Heavenly Waters family. You know the people that help 'guide' the king with his decisions," Taurus reminded him.

Aquarius sat up. "No. No. No. Remember Perseus had to retire the throne because he had to rule... some other kingdom, so he gave the throne to his trusted associate."

Pisces gave a confused look. "No. There was that battle that killed the king-"

"Battle what battle? Pyris has never fought a battle!" Scorpio said perplexed.

Libra waved his hands and concluded, "So no one knows."

"No, I know. I am certainly that that is what happened!" Taurus told him.

"Heavenly Waters family don't even work with the King," I told her.

Pisces mumbles beside him, "I swear on the holy fishes that there was a battle."

Libra quickly stood up and stopped the muttering with a clap, scaring Aries awake in the process. "Y'all why y'all talkin' so loud?"

Leo shook her back awake and asked, "How did King Basil become King?"

Aries sat up sleepily and yawned, rubbing her eyes. "He stopped a fight between to merchants and we elected him as king because of it. Everyone thought he was really brave. Really stupid if you ask me. Now leave me alone." Aries curled herself back to sleep, as everyone started at her.

"Maybe I shouldn't have asked," I told the group.

"No. It's good because something is definitely up. We shouldn't be this confused," Libra told him.

Pisces suggested, "We should talk to Ophiuchus tomorrow and see what he says."

"Yes. He may give us some guidance on what is going on with us," Leo nodded.

"Now go to sleep before I let Scorpio stab you to go to sleep," Virgo yawned from his side of the corner.

"Fine."
