The Scoripo

It was a normal day when I woke up little did I know that it would all change very soon. As I got in the shower I noticed a mark on my back it was shaped like a scorpion. I thought that I was just seeing in things 1

When my best friend and I arrived at school we noticed some of the teachers acting strangely. Then finally at the end of the day I went home 2

And then went out. When I was asleep later that night I heard some one in my room then they called my name. When I woke up no one was there, and then I went back to sleep. The next day I got some weird phone calls from some one called Aries then there were ten phone calls after that. All of them were named after the signs of the zodiac except there was no Scorpio but. I also shrugged this off until they said that they knew where I lived. After that I went and saw a friend to tell her about what was happening it was then that I noticed the mark of Pisces on her hand.3

She told me not to be afraid that they just needed her help and to trust her. I asked her what’s going to happen now she told me that I had to go and see Aries then I was knocked out. When I started to wake up there were people standing around me and staring at me they were talking to one another. One of them asked my friend how hard she hit me my friend said that she hoped that I was okay and not to hurt to help. Then finally I was fully awake and I was on a bed and in a stunning gown of red the color of the scorpion. Then one person said she is awake finally I asked where I was and the one who had the mark of Aries said that I was safe and with friends but I was so scared that I passed out. Then I woke up in the same room with Aries. I asked her why I was here and what did she want with me she told me that I was the Scorpio she needed then I asked her why me there must be a million more Scorpios out there. She told me because I had the mark on my back and was born during the eclipse. This still did not make any sense to me finally she said that it had to be me I was the strongest and most beautiful but also the most stubborn of the eleven of them. With that she left so while I was looking for my jeans I found a window and climbed out and went home. When I got there Leo was there he was on my couch he told me that I should join them and we could be friends. Then I remembered that I knew most of those people they were my friends and they knew everything about me. Then Monday came and school started but when I got there it was taken over by the zodiac gang (which by the way I learned had the power to change into their sign power or form.)So then they were looking for me but I snuck into the school to save everyone else. By then the entire school was split up into two groups my friends and family were in a class room and everyone else was in the gym. Not wanting to stick out I went to the gym. Once there I sat down and did not say anything this way no one would know that I was there. I also discovered that three of my teachers were working with the gang. The math teacher Mr. Smith my favorite teacher the gym teacher Mr. Goodman and the social studies teacher Mr. Lorry. I could not believe it I had trusted these teachers they knew all my weaknesses and all my strengths which meant that they would be using them this also meant that they would not be messing with me unless they had to. After that the gang asked the people in the room to give me up they knew that I was hiding in the room. Then there was silence at first no one said a word then Aries stood up and said the first one to give me up would live. But still no one said a word then finally they brought one of my friends in and told Alee to pick me out and her and her sister would be let go. Alee retaliated and said that Nicole is always there when I need her so therefore I will never give her up. Then they slapped Alee around a little. They did the same thing with all of my friends and then when they got to my sister I lost it. She looked at me and I nodded to her letting her know it was okay to tell but she never told. Finally they started to get more and more frustrated. Then they got an idea they would trick me into coming out by doing the one thing to the others that they know could not happen to me, they would force them to turn evil. Now the thing is I can not be turned evil because I am a Scorpio and am a symbol of good and evil so therefore I had a choice and now they knew I would not join them. They knew that I would choose to be good while everyone else in the room would be turned evil. I was not about to let them turn anyone anything. This left me with no other choice I had to give myself up but I would not go without a fight. It was then that I made a plan to get the others out while I battled the eleven zodiac signs. While no one was looking I snuck up to my sister and told her my plan she did not want me to fight alone but she knew that she had to help the others. I showed her how to get out then I told her that we would see each other again. Then I stood up and said to Aries that her fight was with me not these people and not with my friends. Then I ran out of the gym into the school but Mr. Smith followed me he knew that was a huge mistake then I turned around and stopped dead in my tracks so he could catch me. When he did he ended up with a bloody nose and two black eyes then I Flipped him off and ran. Then no one chased after me I thought that it was weird so I waited an hour or two then went back into the hall and ran the gym where there was a trap set by Mr. Goodman. As soon as I hit the floor by the gym I was stuck and could not move at all. Then something happened to me I could speak. I told Mr. Goodman how I felt then I saw a pain in his eye and then, there was my sister lying on the floor she was black and blue then I totally lost it. I swung at him and finally was free but then the rage that I felt for what had happened was too much I went and beat on Mr. Goodman like he was a rag doll and soon he to fell to the floor. Then soon after my sights turned on the people who had caused this the gang that had wanted my help so much that they would do that to a little girl. As I walked in the gym they were waiting for me I could feel it before I could see it each of them sat on the stage then as soon as I stepped in looked at me. Pisces asked me why I was giving them such a hard time all they wanted was my help then that is when I really lost it. I yelled and screamed that if they wanted my help so bad why did they not ask me for it. Instead they knock me out kidnap me and then take over my school and then to top it all off beat up my friends and my ten year old sister. Then you dare ask me to help you when all they had done for me is cause me more pain then I needed. You should all be ashamed of what you did but you do not look the least bit upset so you want to know why I won’t help you 4

Plus you think I am giving you a hard time no it is the other way around I can not believe you used to be my friends in fact we were never friends. You want to know why then Pisces shook her head because friends do not do this to other friends look at her then I pointed to my sister you want to know something you were like her sister and then you do that to her so you know what I do not want to hear that I am giving you a hard time when it is totally the other way around. So if you want my help forget it I would not help you if my life depended on it what you have to say about that. Then Aries stated that she must coagulate me for standing up to them but unfortunately my life did depend on it. Your bluffing you can not kill me if you need me so much that you would do all this but in the back of my mind I knew she was serious. Then she sent the nine others after me so while I was fighting with them someone came up from behind and hit me over the head with something the last thing I said before I passed out was not again. This time when I woke up I was tied to a chair and from what I could tell was in the social studies class room. I still had no idea what was going on but hey when did I ever the thought that was going through my head was they are going to kill me but then I noticed that they left me alone when will they learn. Then I got out of my ropes with a little help from the desk next to me and ran home when I got there I started to pack my stuff and go this way no one would be hurt again. Move after move they always found me and I always got away until one day I stared to fight back it was like a kamikaze mission but if I was to be free it had to be done. I started to call them up every ten minutes and stalked them everywhere they went it was easy enough to find them they were always together. Then one day they just stopped following me so then I stopped with them but after a week of silence it started again. Finally they broke into my house and I told them that I give up I could not do it any more. They were happy to hear that after all that time though I wonder why they had a lot more people to watch me then I had to watch them but still they were happy.5

They had to wait to next year to summon their master so I was there for one year loathing every minute of it. Then I came up with a plan I was going to fake my own kidnapping 6

Right in front of them so they would have to wait another year to call their master.7

I was going to hire a professional to kidnap me then fake my own death it was a little risky but I could have it done in no time at all. Then I called up my uncle who was in the mob and who owes me a favor to do it he said yes but he was a little hesitant at first I told him where to meet me and when. He was to kidnap me on my birthday outside of a restaurant the days came and went until it was my birthday then everything went according to plan the gang thought I got kidnapped and was then murdered. My name was changed from Nicole montuori to Rose-Marie ventrigulia and I was not bothered again or so I thought. 8
