Horoscope part seven

I stood out at the sky train station, staring off into the distance. No sign of some bird. I closed my eyes and sighed, sitting down. Picking up a paper, I stared at the cover. Nothing really new in the world that was important to me. A strange sensation washed over me as my hair stood on end. I looked to my left, spotting about nine figures walking down in my direction. I quickly raised the paper over my face as I watched Evan lead the others down the way, completely missing me.

hurry. He’s here for me too.

I’d hurry if I knew where you were

I’m right beside you

I turned to stare at the person to my right. A little boy that looked to be ten sat beside me. He had large amber eyes and feathery red hair with orange streaks cutting through it. He wore a simple t-shirt and jeans as a red stone hung around his neck. I looked around. Evan wasn’t anywhere to be seen. I turned to him.“I thought you were a bird” I hissed. He stared up at me, his eyes lightening.“I am. This is just my human form” He stated, suddenly changing into a small bird, “See?”I quickly grabbed him and shoved him in the front part of my jacket.“Shhh! they’re here. Come on. Lets go” I hissed at him, but felt a hand on my shoulder. I spun around to face my friend Martin. I smiled at him, hiding the bird.“Hey Martin-” I started, but stepped away as his eyes began turning a pale, oceanic green. I felt my stomach churn as he stepped towards me.“Give me the phydroon chick.” He snarled. I stared at him, unsure of what to do. We were in public. The train suddenly pulled in behind him. I began walking towards him, then dashed past him, sliding into the sky train as the doors shut behind me, locking Martin out. He glared as the sky train pulled away. I sighed, walking to the front. Checking to make sure everyone was busy doing their thing, I pulled the bird out of my jacket. He quickly transformed back into a person.“Hi. I’m Skylar!” He chirped happily. I shook my head and held a finger to my lips.“I’m Taylor but here’s not the time. Come here.” I said gently, wrapping an arm around him, “At any moment, we could be jumped by them. Do they know you can turn into a person?” I asked. He shook his head.“No. This is the first generation in which one of us has been able to.” He stated. I nodded.“Okay. Good. If anyone asks, you’re my cousin, got it?” I asked. He nodded quickly.“Got it.” He said as the train came to a halt. I gripped his hand and pulled him off of the train. As soon as I did, I knew something was wrong. The people around me had frozen in mid step.“Shit…” I muttered, dashing out of the way as a blast of wind cut past me. Evan grinned as he dashed after us turning into Aquarius. I dragged Skylar behind me, but we were blocked at the exit by Martin. He glared at us as his body suddenly grew scales and his eyes turned to their greeny colour. The rest of the dark horoscope members stepped forward. I looked around me, unsure of what to do.“What do you want?” I asked. Cody smirked.“We want the chick. And by chick I don’t mean girl, we want the bird.” He stated. I shook my head.“I’m with my cousin. I don’t know where the bird went.” I said. Aquarius raised an eyebrow.“Oh really. Then how come you’ve never talked about this cousin? What’s his name?” He asked. I looked at Skylar. He just stared back at me nervously. My head snapped up as my heart began to fill up with hope. They were here! I smirked as I took a step towards Aquarius.“His name is Skylar.” I stated as Katie and Cassie suddenly burst into the circle with Markus, now Aries. Katie turned into Leo and glared at the group as Cassie turned into Sagittarius.“Get out of here now!” Aries shouted. I nodded as Aries blasted flames at a couple people, causing them to move. I grabbed Skylar and dashed out of the clearing. I dashed down the stairs but was quickly intercepted by Cody. Katie lunged at him and struck him across the face, her claws digging in slightly. I picked up Skylar, surprised at how light he was and continued running. Saul and Mara suddenly appeared, running past me.“Keep going!” Saul cried, changing into his Scorpio form. A blonde boy looking as if he was frozen previously stamped out his cigarette and stepped towards Saul, grinning.“Well hello there, Mr. light Scorpio” He said as four claw-like scorpion arms shot out of his back. Saul grinned, stepping towards him.“So you must be the dark Scorpio?” He said. The other Scorpio nodded, lunging at him.“come on, lets have some fun, Hera bitch” He snarled. Saul dodged his attack and spun around, preparing to attack.“I have no clue as to what you meant by what you just said, but what ever.” He snarled. I quickly turned back around and continued running down the steps and out onto the side walk. Someone leapt down in front of me, hitting me away. Skylar turned back into his bird form and fell away as I rolled over into the bushes limply. I opened my eyes slowly to see a figure standing over me. I moaned gently as he bent down to look at me. He picked me up by the cuff of my shirt as he grinned at me.“Hello little crab” He sneered. I gritted my teeth together and swiped at him. He simply laughed as he gripped my hand. I panted, trying to gain back some strength to fight back. Damn this human form! I closed my eyes, feeling my consciousness slipping away.
