Horoscope Part Three

I felt my heart thundering as I began walking home alone. I was always afraid of being alone. I never quite understood the reasons as to why. My heart froze when I heard foot steps behind me. I quickly spun around, but saw nothing. I inhaled sharply, then spun around and began walking faster. Again I heard the foot steps. I felt something bubbling in my chest as my wrists began tingling. I turned around sharply, but saw nothing yet again. Shaking the thoughts out of my head, I began talking to myself, though this was not unusual.“There’s nothing there… don’t worry Taylor…” I muttered. I looked up worried.“But what if there is? What if someone is stalking you?” I asked myself. I sighed, irritated.“In broad day light? Only a moron would do that..” I hissed. I stared down at my feet, freezing for a moment.“or… someone that knows you and knows that they can get you without it looking suspicious…” I whispered. I sensed something about to touch me. I cringed, getting ready to turn around and face my attacker when my phone began ringing. I quickly picked it up as I spun around. Nothing remained in my view. Closing my eyes I sighed and turned back around. Realizing I was still on the phone, I quickly answered, beginning to walk off.“Hello?” I asked.“Hey. What’s going on?” Saul asked on the other line. I shook my head.“do you mean with the markings and the dreams?” I asked. Saul made a noise.“Sort of. My neck was feeling weird a few minutes ago.” He said. I froze.“My wrists were tingling…” I muttered.“Sure you weren’t having emo urges?” Saul asked. I made a clicking noise with my tongue to show my disapproval.“Gee. Thanks. What about you? Did you want to end your life because you couldn’t be with-” “SHUT IT!” Saul snarled on the phone. I raised an eyebrow.“Are you okay?” I asked. Saul sighed.“I think so. Sorry. This is just really confusing. I’ll call you later though. Melissa’s on the other line, asking about the sudden feeling I had. What should I tell her?” He asked. I shrugged, ignoring the fact he couldn’t see it.“Muscle spasm. They happen all the time to me.” I stated.“In your neck?” He asked, surprised. I rolled my eyes.“No Saul. In my ass. Yes my neck. What’s so strange about that?” I asked. Saul made a noise.“What ever. Talk to you later.” He muttered. “Toodles” I said, then clicked on the shiny red button on my phone. Just as I closed down that window, a notification popped up on my phone.“You’re being followed by Aquarius. Run” It stated. I turned around just in time to see a hand disappear. I stared at it, then looked around. I quickly pushed the phone back and began walking. I walked at a power walk speed, then suddenly bolted it to the cross walk. Pressing the button, I began cursing as the light was taking it’s own sweet time changing. I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, then opened my eyes again. The light had changed. I dashed across the street, suddenly feeling more fit than before. I ran down the street until I reached my house. I shut my door quickly and sighed as I relaxed. I started up the stairs, announcing I was home, then sat down on my bed, gazing out the window. No puddles. I closed my eyes and leaned against the window. Just as I began relaxing, there was a loud tapping on my window. I leapt up and spun around, looking out. A boy wearing a t-shirt and jeans sat there, gazing in. His eyes shone a firey red as his white hair blew in front of his face, and two round horns circled on either side of his head he motioned for me to open the window. I stared at him and did as he said as he turned into flames and re-appeared in the bedroom. I stared at him, shocked. He smirked and stuck his tongue out at me.“Surprised to see me?” He asked, grinning. I raised an eyebrow.“Anyone would be. I have no idea who you are.” I stated. The boy sighed.“Right. Well, for starters, I’m known as Aries in this ‘group’. You’re Cancer.” He stated. I raised an eyebrow.“okay. I’m obviously sleeping so I’m just going to climb back into bed and try to wake up, ‘kay? Nice seeing you ‘Aries’” I said, backing up and climbing into bed, pulling the covers up over my head. I felt someone nudge me. I opened my eyes and pulled the covers back. I stared up into the now duller blue eyes of the boy. His horns had disappeared and his hair had changed into a black with blue in it, sporting a Josh Ramsey type look. He smirked, his snake bites glistening in the light that shone into the room.“You’re cute. No, I’m not a hallucination. I was an ordinary boy like you until last year when a meteor hit and I got this.” He stated, taking off his shirt and showing me his back. My face reddened as I gazed upon a line that ran all the way up his spine, curving into two semi-circles at the top. He turned around, pulling his shirt back on. He grinned.“Names’ Markus ” He stated. I sighed.“Taylor.” I stated. He smirked again.“Nice. Unisexual. Anyways, I wanted to tell you to watch out for the dark Aquarius. And we’ll keep in touch. Don’t worry. Keep in contact with Scorpio, the light Aquarius, Gemini and Leo. And remember. You’re the boss of the water.” He stated before bursting into flames and disappearing. I leapt up and stared at the slightly scalded carpet. I sighed, rubbing it into the ground.“He really needs to work on his exit…” I muttered, trying to eliminate the burnt smell before my mom realized it.
