Libra's Lullaby
*This chapter has yet to be edited*
"This stuff is perfect!" Virgo looked through the bags.
Sagittarius' face lit up. "Yes! Fake moustaches!"
"So... When are we going to break into the place?" asked Taurus.
"It's late outside so obviously not today," replied Gemini.
"I say tomorrow we get those jackets and the day after we sneak into that place," said Cancer.
"Yeah that's what we'll do-" Virgo face palmed. "Sagittarius take off the fake moustache please."
"No, the moustache is now part of me. Live with it says the moustache." Sagittarius twirled her fake moustache.
Virgo looked at Sagittarius the way a mother looks at a child who is about to do something stupid. "I am seriously worried about you."
Cancer sighed. "Anyways, Sag can wear that moustache until we try to sneak into the kidnappers place if she wants."
Sagittarius grinned. "Yes! Me and moustache will be best friends until we get Aries back."
Gemini frowned. "Aries cannot be replaced by a moustache."
Sagittarius' shoulders slumped. "Yeah I know, but it helps because I don't have any really good friends left to talk to."
"You can talk to me," smiled Virgo. "Before Aries got kidnapped, she told me that she can have two best friends. At first I thought she was starting to drift away from me but she protected me and because of me they shot her and-"
"WHAT?!?"
"You probably shouldn't have said that," whispered Cancer.
"Uh oh here comes angry Gemini," muttered Taurus.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN THEY SHOT HER?!? I SWEAR IF THEY HURT HER I'LL GO DOWN THERE AND TEAR THEM APART PIECE BY PIECE AND WHEN THEY'RE BEGGING FOR THEIR USELESS LIVES ILL-"
Virgo rolled her eyes. "In the arm Gemini, she got shot once in the arm."
"Oh."
Taurus raised his eyebrows. "Wait, you didn't tell us she got shot."
"It hurt too much to talk about it. She got shot in the arm after she pushed me and screamed at me to run," explained Virgo. Then she curled up in a ball and started to cry. Sagittarius sat down beside her and patted her on the back.
Sagittarius put a fake moustache on Virgo. "It's okay Virgo, it's okay."
Then Virgo laughed a bit."Sag, I can't take you seriously with that moustache."
"Wow, to think just this morning everyone was in the kitchen and we were all busy wondering if we'll guess the password or not," said Cancer. "It feels like that was a week ago."
"I know right," agreed Taurus.
"Think of it this way guys, if we get those jackets and everything goes according to plan, then we'll be able to get them all out of there. And I'll be able to see Aqua again," smiled Cancer.
"Well, we better get to sleep then if we want to get up early so we can plan it out," suggested Taurus. Then everyone got ready and went to their rooms to sleep. Sagittarius went to sleep forgetting about the fake moustache on her face.

"So... Do they expect us to sleep on the cold hard ground?" asked Aries.
"You get a blanket," said Libra.
"And we only get three bowls of that crap Anne calls food a day?" asked Aries.
Pisces nodded. "Yup."
"Yeah, I know it sucks," growled Scorpio.
Aquarius sighed. "I've been here for like, over a month and I'm still not used to it."
"I'm starting to get used to the food. I almost can't taste it anymore," said Capricorn.
"She doesn't even let us take showers! My hair isn't fabulous anymore because it's greasy and it lost all of it's fabulous curl!" Leo gestured to his greasy hair before realizing that no one could see his actions.
Libra rolled her eyes. "Of course that's what he thinks about!"
Capricorn smiled. "Don't worry guys, I'm sure the others will come and get us."
Pisces checked her hair for split ends. "But, what if they never come?"
Scorpio glared at the wall. "Don't think like that! Of course they'll come."
"They have to come back for us, right?" asked Libra.
"I hope Anne has a heart attack and then the bodyguards come free us," said Pegasus.
Aquarius bit the inside of her cheek. "That's very unlikely."
Capricorn looked up hopefully. "They'll come back. As long as Sagittarius is with them they'll come back."
"He's right. They're probably planning something to break us out of here. I just hope they don't get kidnapped in the process," agreed Aries.
"It's nighttime~" sang Anne who turned off all the lights.
"It's really dark," scoffed Aries.
Pisces could not find a comfortable sleeping position. "Yeah. It's kind of creepy sometimes."
"Goodnight everyone." Libra tried to fall asleep.
Scorpio sat on top of his blanket. He wasn't going to sleep tonight. "Most of the time the only way I can sleep here is after going a few days without it."
"That's horrible!" gasped Aquarius.
Capricorn gave up on trying to be comfortable. "Goodnight guys."
Leo smirked. "If you want I can sing you a lullaby so you can go to sleep Scorpy."
"SCORPLEO!" squealed Pisces.
"What?" asked Pegasus.
"Nothing," replied the zodiacs at the same time.
"A lullaby actually isn't a bad idea," said Libra who started to sing. Leo joined in.
Capricorn crossed his arms. "Damn it Leo! I was about to fall asleep until you started to sing along."
Leo blew a kiss. "You're welcome Cappy."
"I can actually fall asleep listening to Libra," said Aquarius.
"Me too. Keep singing please," said Aries. Then Libra continued to sing until she fell asleep. Mostly everyone else was also asleep. Scorpio gave up on trying to sleep so he mostly daydreamed.

The next day the zodiacs that could actually sleep got up.
Aquarius grunted. "Ow... My neck feels stiff."
Libra rubbed her back. "My back has been feeling funny ever since I've got here."
Scorpio yawned. "At least we'll get food any minute now."
"Seriously though. This is stupid. If Anne wants us dead then why didn't she kill any of us?" asked Aries.
"She wants us alive. More than likely for experiments since we're the zodiacs," replied Capricorn.
"And she's waiting until she gets all twelve of us," said Pisces.
Scorpio shook his head. It wasn't adding up. "I don't think she wants us for experiments though."
"Then why are we here?" asked Leo.
"I don't know but I think there's more to it than experiments. Isn't that what Pegasus wanted us for?" asked Scorpio.
"I don't remember," replied Aquarius. Then Anne came with a tray that had eight little bowls of some kind of mushy food that was green and grey.
Aries gagged at the smell. "Eww I'm not eating this."
Capricorn sighed. "You'll starve otherwise."
"We get very little to eat so you have to eat what you get," said Leo.
Aquarius shuttered. "It made me throw up the first time I tried it."
"Not helping," hissed Scorpio.
"Hopefully the police will find us soon," smiled Libra.
Aries glared at the woman who slipped food in their cages. "They're corrupt and most of them are working for Anne."
"Oh, right," said Libra.
Pisces drummed her nails on the bars. "I just hope we don't die here in these cages."
Anne smirked. "The ones before you did."
"What do you mean?" asked Capricorn.
"The ones before us... As in the zodiacs before us?" asked Aquarius.
"Tell us!" demanded Capricorn.
"That's all I'm going to say for now." Anne walked away
"That's not fair. She tells us something and doesn't explain it." Scorpio balled his fists.
Leo smiled. "So, our theory on the zodiacs before us could be right."
"What theory?" asked Aries.
"We came up with a bunch of theories. We'll tell you about all of them later," promised Libra.
"So we might rot away in here after all?" asked Pisces.
"No, we won't," replied Scorpio.
"How do you know?" asked Pisces.
Scorpio bit his lip. "I don't but I'm trying to comfort you."
