Chapter two : it all started

I grabbed his wrist and sprinted to the car . And I rushed to diagos work place . “Hey , sei can you notice that I am worried of something “ sei running his hand through his hair and said “ yeah , I can say that your worried So ! “

“ And you don’t wanna ask why “ I said holding my head

“ we’ll , your not my crush ! “ he said rolling his eyes . “ See just because your abilities are confidential, and a little better than…..”

“ little” he said glaring. “ yeah , a lot okay now ! You know did you feel that something’s off with Ari , today “. “ Um…..yeah a little she’s just in shock. And not crying that’s it , are you really her best friend just because everyone says she’s not crying, you say that to” he said looking surprised by my question

“ It’s not about tears ! It’s about her……she…said something before leaving! “ he said looking strange

“ Okay what did she say “ he asked . “ she said “ my dad tried to talk to you . Last night “ she said that all of the sudden

He face looked twisted and a little confused “ she said what ?” . Rei looked at him “ You heard me ! “

“ How the fu*k did she know “ he asked , looking full of questions

“ I left that last night “ I said gathering my breath. “ Wait , really Wait your not kidding right “

We reached the place to find it off . And a little out of place , and we entered . The place didn’t look messy and Mr diago died here . Someone came here after he died or some thing.

As we were close examining the place . There was a small cabin lying something in that just attracted me I don’t know why ? . I went forward and tried to open it . It wasn’t hard or I am too strong

“ No , something like this will also will be easy to open . Cause person died here ! “ sei said smirking. I found a briefcase in that . It was heavy and tiny . Very suspicious

We took the briefcase and sped home . There we sat I wanted to open the briefcase so bad like so bad . So I was punching the case cause I don’t have keys . They were 3 files and a space for a letter . But the letter was gone . Like missing I took the files . 2 of the. Remained blank but one of them were .

Well , had a picture of Ari . My heart raced with questions. He is her dad but a file for his daughter. Weird! Then the it said one word that made my blood run cold . “ THE SECOND ZODIAC “ . In big font black ink .

“ hey Rei , what happened? Man ! Is Ari your half sister or something “ sei said that and laughted. Rei fell back wards and . The file dropped from his hand and flew to a distance.

“ since when did you start being dramatic “ sei said picking up the file and . Taking a look . “ Wait she’s the second zodiac. Ari she the one . Nice twist Mr diago “ sei said that smirking.

After a few moments Rei came back to is senses . “ Are you okay ? “ he said softly

“ I am not okay ! Did you see that she’s the one “ he said running his hand through his hair

“ Yeah ! It was a pretty good twist Mr diago has planned! He said giving him a sarcastic look !

“ can’t you see that she’s going through so much . And now this too ! Well let her know when she’s ready “ Rei said with big eyes .

“ And when is that ? It’s not some kind of deadth Rei ! It’s a gift “ he said his eyebrows raised . Not a flinch on his lips

“ Yeah ! I know it’s a gift, but she’s not ready to accept it ! Do you think everyone’s like us who accepts it in there own ways

It’s long back ago . Not too long . Maybe in the 2019 . Rei . Rei katusuro . A normal high school student he’s silent at that time . And also used to get a lot of attention which he didn’t like . Well , his life is not always the same . He was constantly working .His parents didn’t care about him . No matter how many jobs he worked

One day after his shift . He was walking home A man in a black long coat came . “ things like this are only hard to believe. When your full of yourself “ he said that handing me an envelope.

I opened it . It said welcome Rei katusuro. How did he know my name strange. Then everything changed I knew what was happening tomorrow or if someone’s lying . Like this one time a girl in my class accused me of misbehaving her . For attention

I swore to everyone that I didn’t. My guts kept telling they were wrong. One of the student said “ criminal son will always be a criminal “

The whole class gasped “ CRIMINAL “ . The girl spoke again “ yes his father killed many people including MINE “

My stomach dropped to the floor “ I didn’t do anything to her . I swear “ tears shed down my cheeks no one listened to me . Just then the head master came “ What’s happening here ! Rei there’s someone to meet you ! “

The head master said with bold words “ I know you didn’t do anything wrong! “

I went into the parents waiting lounge to find the same man with black coat “ did you find a difference in yourself ? These days ! “

“ Why are you here ? “ I asked him feeling different from who I am

“ We need you ! Meet me in the Hayl woods , this might change your fate “ he said that . And disappeared into thin air

I felt weird something in me just said I wanted to trust him . I went to my classroom my heart racing . Everyone thinks I am a criminal. I went in to find everyone involved in there own lives. No one layed an eye on me . I felt the same attention

Maybe my headmaster I should thank him . The bell rang. the sky lost its color I went to his office. To find him a little busy I went in “ excuse me sir , do you have a moment “

“ Sure ! What is it ? “ he said putting down the book he is reading .

“ Thank you for telling everyone! That I didn’t do anything wrong,! “ I said thankfully and greatful

“ Sorry , may I know what your talking about ? “ he raised an eyebrow.

“ sorry I think I met the wrong person “ I left with confusion!

I wanted answers this is something i am grateful for . The clock hit 9 I made my way to hayl woods it was pitch black and went inside to find a cabin and

I opened the door the post box fell on the step door . And I went inside to find him . He said “ you didn’t answer my question? “

“ sorry “ I said trying catch what he was saying

“ I mean your ability. You the first zodiac! “ he said

“ zodiac ? What do you mean ! “ I said

“ your not choosen for this ! You made this choose you “ he said” I need you to save the world”

“ And I need your help ! To find the rest 2 . Something’s worst happening? I can feel it “

“And that’s how my journey began “ Rei said

“ Ho that was quite long I should say “ sei said rolling his eyes .

“ Now we have to stick to her ! Alright “ he said grabbing sei hand and dragging him to the car and sped over to Aris

“We reached there and I went over and knocked on the door expecting for a quick response. It’s been 10 minutes. Still no response Rei folded his hands and said “ Seriously! She have to do this now ! “

After a few moments the door slightly opened . Aris head popped out of the door . Letting a small sign saying come in !

We entered inside to find a very different smell . There was a mig shattered on the floor . Flys sucking the dry coffee stains
