I started working on my icarly story at first, but then I got writers block.....it sux. so anywayz, I got an idea for this story so im writing it down!! R&R peoplez!! and just to let y'all know, Scorpio is a GUY!
Normal POV:
Aries, Aquarius, Virgo, and Cancer were sucked through the time portal to Salem, Massachusetts during the times of the witch trials. Aries opened her eyes to the new world around them. She looked down at her clothes. Another dress, perfect. She wore the traditional dress for a colonial American during the 1800s. (A/N I have no idea when the witch trials really happened, and this is my assumption) She looked at her companions. Aquarius and Cancer had on the virtually same thing as Aries, and Virgo wore the traditional clothes for a man in Salem at that time.
"I'm in a dress!" Cancer yelled in a whisper
"Yeah, I hate it too," Aries, replied, "But our clothes change as travel through time, speaking of which..." Aries then started to search in her pockets for a note from Scorpio. She found one in the small purse she was carrying.
"Did you find another note?" Aquarius asked. Aries nodded her head, and then showed it to the group so they could read it.
I warn you not to use your powers here. These people are very skittish and will burn you at the stake at the first sign of witchcraft. You must inform Capricorn that she must never return to her home unless she wants to die. She will either live in the ultimate time realm with my family, and myself. Or, if she were to find another time period to her liking, she could stay there as well. It is her choice. -Scorpio
The group looked at each other with worried eyes, but Aries motioned them on. They stepped into the busy street of Salem.
"Today must be Thanksgiving here too," Cancer said, "Excuse me sir," Cancer asked a man walking by, "We are looking for a someone named Capricorn, do you know her?" he answered;
"Yes," he took his hat off to reveal pitch-black hair and pointed with it, "That's her, over there, by the barn,"
"Thank you, sir!" Cancer said walking back towards her three friends, "She's over there, in the pen with the sheep," Aries gave her a puzzled look, Virgo explained for Cancer
"She works there to get money to help pay her rent. She's an orphan. Her parents died a few years ago, when she was your age. She is sixteen now, she has no one here that she would be leaving behind," Cancer looked at him like he was crazy. He tapped his head and smirked
"He can read minds," Aquarius confirmed
"Ah," Cancer said
"C'mon guys!" Aries said, "We have to get Capricorn to come with us," with that she grabbed Cancer and Aquarius' arms who promptly took Virgo's arm as Aries dragged them in Capricorn's direction. She was indeed sixteen, and very pretty. Virgo was immediately smitten, "Not now Virgo," Aries said, recognizing that love-struck look, "We have more important things to worry about know, like getting her to come with us,"
"I'll do it," Virgo offered
"No way, Jose," Cancer said, "Let us handle this, you're too love-struck to do anything right now," So Cancer, Aquarius, and Aries started walking towards Capricorn.
Virgo, pretend like you are resting from a long journey so as not to arouse suspicion. That should be your answer if anyone asks you about why you are there. Aries thought to get a message to Virgo. She looked behind herself towards Virgo; he nodded and sat down on a nearby bale of hay.
"Excuse me," Aquarius said in her most polite tone of voice, "But are you Capricorn?" the blonde-haired girl looked up
"Yes, I am. Why do you want to know?" Capricorn asked the three girls
"Well," Aries began, "You are one of the twelve protectors, as are we. We must work together to save space and time, or something like that.... just read this note," she handed Capricorn the original note from Scorpio, but stopped her before she read it, "Do you believe in witches and magic?" Aries asked a very confused Capricorn,
"Of course I do! I just don't believe in this whole all-witches-are-bad hype. Why do you ask?" Capricorn asked
"Just read the letter," Cancer said, "It will explain everything," so Capricorn read the letter, and luckily was not afraid
"Oh, wow! Me! Us! Are there any others here?" Capricorn asked the three girls,
"I'll be right back," Cancer said, and ran to get Virgo. She brought him to Capricorn, but not before warning him to act cool, and not act like an idiot. She told him to not say anything unless spoken to, and he agreed for the sake of his ego. Then Cancer and Virgo walked up to the girls
"This is Virgo," Aries said, "He is one of us, he can read minds as I can control fire and the fire sword, Aquarius can control water, and Cancer can perform telekinesis. I don't know what your power is, but I'm sure Scorpio will tell us soon enough," As if on cue, a messenger brought Capricorn a letter. It read:
Aries, Aquarius, Virgo, and Cancer,
Congratulations on finding Capricorn! You still have seven more protectors to find. Capricorn, you have a power as well as your companions. You can control the weather if you please. But be forewarned, if your emotions should get too out of hand, the weather could result. And just a note to you all, there will be a note from me at the end of this letter; only Virgo should read it at this time. If he should want to tell you all what information its content contain, he is free to share it with you. Your next journey will bring you to Libra.
Good Luck! And happy traveling!
Scorpio
Aries handed Virgo the letter so he could read the after note.
P.S. Virgo,
You are the first to have feelings for another protector. This is natural for all of the protectors except for my sister, Sagittarius and myself. Each protector will fall in love with another protector. You have fallen for Capricorn, and she will soon fall for you. As you meet more protectors, the pairings will become obvious. And for only one pair, you will not be able to see it, but it indeed will come.
Scorpio
Virgo gave a heavy sigh; he folded over the part about himself falling in love, but let the others read the rest.
"But, we're only thirteen! How can we fall in love this early?" Cancer said with a groan,
"I was going to be married before Aries came and got me," Aquarius said. Cancer was astonished. She looked at Virgo,
"It's true," he said, "I was supposed to be in charge of planning it," Aries interrupted them,
"I don't mean to interrupt your fascinating conversation, but don't we have something more important to do?" Aries said with a smirk. She spun the clock around on her finger. Cancer rolled her eyes and linked arms with Aries, Aquarius linked her arm with Cancer's, Virgo linked his arm with Aquarius', and Capricorn held on to Virgo's arm, which made Virgo blush as red as a beet.
"Close your eyes and hold on tight," Aries said as she gripped the clock in both hands, and before they knew it they were in the time vortex heading towards ancient China.
When they opened their eyes, they were in peasant clothing of the ancient Chinese era, with the traditional conical hats on their heads. They looked around at all the people working in the rice patties, but none of them looked young enough to be a protector. Then Aquarius looked towards the stables where they held the livestock, and noticed a girl, maybe a year older than them, tending to the cows. Aquarius tugged on Aries' shirt and pointed towards the girl. She nodded and motioned for them to follow her towards the girl.
"That's got to be Libra," Virgo said in a whisper, "All she can think about is the strange power she has that can make the livestock to whatever she wants,"
"How do you know that?" Capricorn whispered in disbelief,
"I can read minds," Virgo said, tapping his temple, "And she speaks English, so that is good,"
"C'mon then!" Cancer said, "Let's go talk to her!"
"Wait," Aries said, "Can she read English?"
"Uh," Virgo said, "I believe so, yes."
"Good, so she can read the letter," Aries said. With that, the five teenagers made their way towards Libra. She shot her head up when she heard the people approaching her. She muttered something incoherent in Chinese before standing up to face them.
"Who are you?" she asked with no expression, Aries answered
"I'm Aries, and this is Aquarius, Capricorn, Virgo, and Cancer. We have been sent to get you for an important mission," Libra still looked suspicious, "One that will explain the weird power you have," Aries said in a whisper. Libra's eyes widened, then she nodded. She seemed on board with anything that would explain the weird phenomenon.
"Please explain it to me," she said, her voice shaking slightly,
"I cannot explain why you have the powers that you do, but I can explain the mission to you," Aries handed Libra the first letter from Scorpio. Libra took it hesitantly, and read it. Her eyes clearly showed the fear that she felt inside. She looked up when she finished reading, and nodded, signaling her agreement.
"But first I must finish tending to the animals," she said
"Of course," Capricorn replied, "I know how that is," she smiled at Libra, which clearly made the shy girl feel better. So Libra walked over to the cows, and began to refill one trough with feed and water in another. She also made sure all of them were correctly marked, and found a folded sheet of paper in the notification of one of her cows. She brought the folded piece of paper to her new companions. Aries took it, and told her it was a note from Scorpio.
"On my cow?" she asked,
"We've found them on beds, delivered formally, and thrown at us," Aries said with a laugh. Libra laughed with her, "Now we can add a new one to the list, 'on cow,'" Aries said, pretending to write it down. Everyone laughed.
"Okay," Cancer said in between giggles, "We really should read what is inside," Aries nodded, still smiling, and opened the letter.
Aries, Aquarius, Virgo, Cancer, and Capricorn,
Congratulations on finding Libra! You still have six more protectors to find. Libra, you have a power as well as the others. Your power is that you can hypnotize anybody or any living thing that you like. You cannot hypnotize flora, however. All of your next journey will bring you to Taurus. And remember, time is of the essence, even if we can control it.
Good luck! And happy traveling!
Scorpio
"Shall we?" Aquarius asked. All of the teenagers linked arms, and sped away to their next destination.
