Horscope part eight

My eyes shot open as I shot up and awoke in my own room. I coughed slightly, feeling the stinging pain. I looked around. It was indeed my room. I sighed, looking to my right. Skylar was sleeping on a pile of clothes I had left on my desk. I smiled calmly. He was ok. “Oh! You’re awake. Good. It was getting hard to explain to your mom what happened and who I was” A voice stated. I looked up to see Markus standing in the door frame. He smirked as he stepped forward and examined my eyes.“It’s still Taylor, right?” He asked. I nodded slowly.“Yeah…” I muttered. He sighed and sat down, “Why what happened?”“Well… you see when you went unconscious, the cancer spirit took over and managed to fend off Capricorn. How ever, because of the state your body was in, he too couldn’t maintain control for much longer so grabbing Skylar we retreated back here.” Markus explained. I nodded, rubbing my head. Markus looked away.“Fucking Fallon…” He muttered, looking at his phone. I raised an eyebrow at him.“Who’s Fallon and what’s wrong with him?” I asked. Markus raised an eyebrow and showed the picture id on his phone.“Fallon is my twin brother,” He stated, “And he’s Capricorn, the one who attacked you”I stared at the picture in shock. He had medium, choppy, red, emo-ish looking hair and gentle green eyes. Markus pulled the phone away and answered it.“Hello?” He asked. There was a moment of silence, then Markus made a noise.“If you want to know what’s for dinner, then call mom yourself!” He shouted, then hung up. He sighed. I felt the corners of my mouth twitch, then I burst out into laughter. Markus turned to look at me, a peculiar expression on his face.“What’s so funny?” He asked. I shook my head.“It’s just that… we’re in a way godly… and he’s a villain in our eyes…. Yet… we’re so normal” I explained calming down. Markus smirked and started laughing.“You have a point” He stated. I smiled and looked over at Skylar picking him up ad cradling him in my arms.“So what did you tell my mom?” I asked. Markus shrugged.“I’m a guy you met through Cassie and we were hanging out when a group of people surrounded us and began picking on us and tried to take your purse. I tried to reason with them and told you to run, but one of them ran after you.” He said. I nodded.“That probably worked” I said. He nodded.“It did” He said softly, then stood up, “anyways, I’d better go home. I’ve got to help mom with dinner” I smirked.“Awe so cute” I said, grinning widely. He smirked at me.“Well thank you.” He said, then froze, staring into my eyes. He stepped forward towards me. I stared up at him nervously.“W-what?” I asked. He quickly tilted my chin up with his finger and kissed my lips softly. I felt my body melt, yet… something felt strange… I pushed away, staring at him. He stared back at me, looking as if he wanted more. There was a sudden noise as flames burst into the room. Another Markus appeared, lunging at the one I was just talking to.“You stay away from her!” He snarled, striking him across the face. He suddenly turned into Fallon. I stared at him wide eyed.“Wait… You mean you aren’t twins?” I asked, confused to if Fallon was lying or telling the truth. Markus and Fallon froze, looking at me. Fallon’s shirt was gathered in Markus’s fist as they both looked at me. Markus dropped Fallon to the ground and stepped towards me.“No, it’s true. We’re brothers. It’s just that Fallon is the more misbehaved and jerkish one.” He stated. Fallon glared at him, then looked at me. I glared at him.“You bastard…” I hissed. He sighed and smirked.“Yes I am one, big whoop. Your boyfriend is one too” He stated. I sighed as Fallon leaned in closer.“by the way, you taste good.” He hissed in my ear. Chills ran down my spine as I pushed him away, angrily. Markus grabbed Fallon and kissed my fore-head.“Sorry. We’ll be out of your hair now. Rest, okay? You’ve got to protect Skylar” He stated. I nodded.“Okay. Bye Markus” I said softly. Markus smiled as he turned into flames. I sighed. That Fallon…. He was a real asshole… even so, what was he even doing here in the first place… I sighed again. He was probably here for Skylar, then shocked at the fact I was waking up, turned into Markus. I laid back down and rolled my eyes.“You dickless asshole…” I muttered as I fell asleep
