Horoscope part Five

We all stared at Markus as if he were on drugs.“Wait, who are you?” Saul asked, stepping forward. Markus smirked looking at me.“We’ve met. I’m Markus, otherwise known as Aries. Nice to see you Scorpio.” He commented looking back at him, stepping towards him to try and appear dominating. I sighed and began walking towards my house. All five followed behind me quickly. I opened my fence, then walked into the back yard, leading them to the small seating area. I sat down on the sofa and everyone else sat around me, except for Markus who sat beside me. I rolled my eyes and turned to him.“Okay Markus. What’s going on?” I asked. Katie nodded.“Explain now.” She growled. Markus raised an eyebrow and grinned.“Calm down kitty. Okay, so if you’ve ever paid attention to the horoscopes, you’d know that there are twelve in total. How ever there are also light and dark sides to them. We stand in the light and are reborn every generation, every four years between the ages of eight and sixteen. The ones that were turned when they were eight are dead now, and only two remain from the age of the age period of twelve.” He began to explain, when Mara interrupted him.“Who’s the second one?” She asked. He looked at Cassie.“You mean you never told them?” He asked. Cassie shrugged.“It was easier pretending.” She stated. Markus sighed.“Well, Cassie’s the second one. We were possessed by Aries and Sagittarius when we were twelve along with Libra and Virgo. How ever their other halves killed them. Its an ancient spirit thing. Using your full powers makes you remember who you once were and makes you vulnerable to ancient spirits. And Tay, I suggest you refrain from using full power as much as possible.” He stated. I eyed him strangely.“Why?” I asked. Markus looked at Cassie and sighed.“Because Cancer has always been the traitor.” He stated. I blinked, taken a back.“So if I use my full power then the old spirit of Cancer will take over my body and betray everyone?” I asked. Markus nodded.“It’s always stated that the dark Cancer will be killed by the light Cancer, so one time, the light Cancer betrayed the light side and joined the dark side. The reason why this is so easy for Cancer to do and no one else is because Cancer is the moon, which if you think about it is lit up by the sun, but also holds darkness within it” Cassie explained. I sighed, looking up.

“you aren’t going to listen to them, are you?” a voice asked in my head. I looked at Markus, panicking. He sighed.“Yeah, he can talk to you. But there’s one other thing you should all know.” He stated. We all looked at him curiously.“What?” Saul asked. Markus pushed a lock of his hair back.“If the ancient spirit takes over your body then your soul will be lost inside that spirit forever.” He said darkly. We all stared at him frightened. He laughed and shook his head.“But don’t worry. Only dark spirits try to take over.” He stated. The other three sighed while I just sat there staring at my feet. Why was I the cursed one? I sighed looking over at Markus.“Hey, you should show them your other form” I suggested. Markus raised an eyebrow.“You mean Aries?” He asked. I nodded.“Yeah, Aries.” I said calmly. Markus nodded and stepped away. He closed his eyes as his body burst into flames which disappeared almost as instantly as they had appeared. Behind them revealed Markus, only he now had horns, red eyes, white hair and a tail. His outfit had changed as well into something that someone might have worn in some fantasy novel. He smirked then looked at Cassie.“C’mon Cassie, show them what you’re made of” He said. Cassie smirked and rolled her eyes, stepping onto the grass. Flames encased her body then burned away to reveal Cassie, only with bright red eyes and dark red hair. Her body was covered in a long, fiery red gown as a bow was swung over her back. Saul stared at them.“How do you do that?” He asked. Markus, now Aries, grinned.“Step back so that you don’t destroy anything and just concentrate on your spirit” He explained. Saul stepped back and closed his eyes as water burst up around him violently. It fell to the ground revealing Saul only now his eyes were an oceanic blue, and his hair now had a blue tinge to it. Two extra claw like arms protruded from his back and his hands had turned into medium-sized black claws. A large scorpions tail shot out of his back side and his outfit had too changed. He looked at his claws.“How am I supposed to pick things up like this?” He asked. Aries shrugged.“Figure it out” He stated, bursting into flames and changing back, then changing into Aries again. Mara leapt up.“My turn!” She exclaimed excitedly. She stepped back as wind began incircling her body in a tornado form. It disappeared to reveal mara now standing there with white-blonde hair and pale blue eyes. Her outfit had changed into a long pale-blue gown. She smiled.“Oh my god! I want to try!” Katie cried jumping up. She burst into flames suddenly revealing her body again wearing a red and orange outfit. Her hair had turned flaming red and her eyes had turned a gentle orange. Two golden lion ears poked out from her hair and a tail swung back and forth on her tail bone-area. Her fingers had turned into claws and her teeth had changed into fangs. She grinned.“Awesome” She said happily. They all looked at me. Aries smirked.“C’mon Tay, give it a shot.” He said. I cocked my head to one side.“But I thought you said-” I started, but Aries shook his head.“It wont hurt if you do it a few times.” He said calmly. I nodded and sighed, closing my eyes.okay Mr. spirit. Lets goyou’re an idiot, you know. I’ll just take over your body if you do this No you wont because if you do, I’ll just take over again how will you do that?I’ll find a way. Now. Go! I felt my body go cold and wet as if my previous form was being washed away. When I opened my eyes, I felt a pair of feelers on the top of my head, bending down slightly. Four arms with small claws protruded from my back like Scorpio’s and my hands too had been changed into claws, only my claws were larger. A long medium blue dress clothed my body as my new blue hair flopped in front of my face. Saul grinned.“Dude! Your eyes are like a purple-blue!” He stated. I looked at my hands and laughed. Aries grinned.“Nice to see you again Cancer. You know, you’re the first girl cancer. Then again, the other team has the first boy Aquarius, who‘s also their leader which is also a first.” He explained, then turned to the others.“Okay everyone. Dress ups over. Change back before someone sees” He said quickly. We all nodded and quickly turned back into our original forms. I smiled calmly.

you’re not a very mean spirit are you?

… shut up… I just didn’t feel like possessing you that time.

I sighed and pushed a lock of hair back, then looked at the time.“Holy crap! We have a provincial tomorrow! Everyone, you’re dismissed!” I said. Everyone nodded and quickly ran off to get home. I sighed as I walked inside. This was going to be one heck of a summer vacation.
