Do read Haunted Part 1 for a better understanding
All the zodiacs lined up, a little horrified, a little excited following each other in a line striving hard to escape the haunted house leaving Aquarius and Pisces behind to trap the ghost in the house so that all other zodiacs can escape.
Aries: Silence, please (deep inside they are scared like a little child)
Virgo:Be in line everybody
Meanwhile, Taurus getting very cautious and trying to keep themselves safe. Geminis are ready with their camera in case a ghost appears, so they will never miss a click. Scorpions have already sensed the ghost around but are quiet so as not to panic anybody. Libran is texting their friends and relatives about their well-being while Capricorn is all lost on the maps trying to sort out the way. Sagittarians have started feeling sympathetic toward ghosts and decided not to attack them if they see them. Cancer has already seen a ghost and is trying hard by enchanting not to be possessed by them.
Leo is getting fascinated by the sword he is carrying thinking himself to be the hero and the saviour.
To everyone's shock, a white shade appeared in front of them and disappeared in a minute
Meanwhile all the zodiac
Virgo makes sure everybody is safe and starts worrying about escaping. Capricorn is still busy sorting out the way as if a ghost sight hasn't affected them.
Taurus is awe-struck with chips in their mouth wide open.
Libra is on the call with the Aquarius explaining the situation. Sagittarius has started following the ghost and has left the queue. Scorpio is smiling devilish and is very calm as if they haven't seen anyone. Cancer is shaking with fear but keeps mumbling the enchantments. Aries quietly came close to Cancer and stood beside them in case the ghost came again, they would be protected by enchantments. Geminis has started texting everybody about the ghost and sending pictures of Leos holding the sword. Leo is still in their world swaying the sword in the air and shouting
"The savior is here, don't you dare to come here again you stupid ghost.
Ghost appears again
Ghost: Hello what did you just say, Leo
Leo:Ah.. (Keeping itself composed and pretending to be brave) I said, let us go.
Ghost raised its two fingers and in no time banged the Leo at the wall
Leo:(Dramatically): I will save everyone if not I will sacrifice my life and I will be remembered as a hero and then it passed out.
Just then Sagittarius comes up from behind the room
Sagittarius:Here you are ghost darling. I told you we would sort it out, why do you hit Leo?
Gemini:Everything else afterward. Ghost sir this is breaking news. One picture, please.
Aries holds Cancer's hand tightly, whose face is stuck with fear but still babbling the
enchantments.
Libra:Don't panic everybody, even a ghost has a right to do what it wants. (Looking at the ghost) Hello sir It's your house, your territory, we are sorry, do let us go peacefully.
Amidst the conversation between the ghost and Libra suddenly Virgo stood up and shouted.
Virgo: (Angrily)Or be prepared to be destroyed.
Ghost got furious with rage and a harsh wind started to blow inside the house and things started flying. Aries got separated from cancer and was thrown in front of the ghost.
Aries:(looking straight into the eyes of the ghost)Hello ghost, do let us go, what have we done? Why are you behaving like this
?
Scorpio was listening to all this drama and now it's unbearable for it to take it anymore.
Scorpio: Don't you know who the real devil is? Let them all go and if you dare, come and fight with me one on one.
Ghost: No one will leave, You all will stay here forever. I have been living here alone for so many years, now you all will stay here and entertain me.
Where are the others?
I can't find Cancer Capricorn, Taurus Pisces, and Aquarius
Taurus: (Eating chips)I am here sir. I would love to entertain you all my life but I don't even trust humans how can I stay with you without suspecting you every hour
Gemini: That's their main problem.
Libra: Yes, Taurains had a hard time trusting people and then the bull gets angry now and then.
Sagittarius:(laughing)Then who will cook food for us?
Aries:Cancer will cook and care for us. Just leave Taurus here and let's escape
Virgo:How selfish Aries and It is not the time to gossip (looking at Gemini and Libra)
Just then Capricorn comes out with Cancer
Capricorn:Hey I have a deal.
Why don't you keep Cancer with you and let us all go? They are empathetic, they will listen to you, care for you, and are famous for sacrificing themselves for love. Keep them, they make the best partners.
Cancer to the Ghost:Ya sure, I will stay with you (Holds the hands of the ghost and kisses it)
Gemini:How dramatic?
Scorpio: Lucky ghost
Cancer to the ghost: Now give the map to Capricorn and they will take everyone out reading the map.
Ghost, already mesmerized by Cancer, was about to hand the map to Capricorn when Virgo interrupted.
Virgo:Wait! What's going on Why cancer
Let me sacrifice myself.
Libra:No everyone should give some sacrifice, why make only one a scapegoat?
Aries:Because they want to, May they like the ghost, It's ok, we are not forcing anyone.
Gemini:Poor Cancer, got stuck this time.
Taurus:Till when, do you not know that they have mood swings? A moment before they are shaking with fear, and now kissing the ghost, so unpredictable.
Libra:Nice observation, but why isn't anyone sympathizing with Leo, they almost died saving us.
Scorpio:Come on dear, Lions are self-obsessed, all they want is attention and limelight.
Taurus:But Lions are the most fearless and bold amongst us.
Sagittarius: And so good-looking with those beautiful hairs
Virgo: That's so rude Scorpio!
Meanwhile Libra splashes some water on Leo to wake them up.
Aries:Go Taurus help Libra wake up Leo
Scorpio:Why don't you go and help Libra?
Aries: No I am better at giving orders.
Gemini called Pisces and told them about the Cancer sacrifice.
Pisces left Aquarius alone with the potions(They both were making potions to control the ghost).
Pisces:(Holding the book of spells and a potion )Now is the time for you Ghost to leave Cancer.
Capricorn:No wait.... Pisces
All of a sudden Leo got up half-consciously and picked up their sword to attack the ghost shouting I will save everyone but got stumbled upon Pisces breaking the potion jar and splitting the potion on the book burning it.
Aries:Oh no...It isn't ending
Scorpio:I just can't take this bull shit anymore.
Gemini:It's getting funnier now.
Sagittarius can't help it now. It took the sword lying beside Leo (who again fell unconscious) and was about to attack the ghost from behind when Aquarius stopped them.
Sagittarius:Hey! Where were you.?You were supposed to make potions for controlling ghosts with Pisces.
Aquarius: Yes, We have made one too but as soon as Pisces heard about Cancer, it ran away with the potion.
Sagittarius: The potion is gone and the book too. Now only God will save us.
Aquarius:I suspect Libra might have told Pisces about Cancer. Pisces thinks with heart and acts impulsively. Pisces ruined everything and even Leo
Gemini:Hey buddy; It's me who called Pisces
Aquarius:You! Come on dear It's not funny anymore.
Gemini:But I felt bad for Cancer
Aquarius: My double-face Gemini Don't be sorry for Cancers are strong deep inside, they will handle and I think Capricorn is not stupid, They must have a plan.
Taurus: Maybe Cancer and Ghost are teaming up
Gemini:Dont know, but Cancers are devils inside
Virgo:Stop judging
Sagittarius:Do something, don't just chit-chat
Aries:Come Sagi, we will fight. We just can't sit here and watch. Either leave or fight but never give up like Cancer
Aquarius: (Smiling)You didn't understand Cancer at all.
Scorpio: OK ghost, keep me, We both are the same
Ghost:Never, I won't keep someone more devilish than me. I am hungry for the angelic touch.
Pisces:Angelic touch:What a joke
Cancer will rip you apart when provoked.
That angelic touch is only for those whom they love.
Pisces: Attention please everyone! We are not anybody's pawn, everyone has a right to decide. Now vote on who wants to leave Cancer here and who doesn't
Capricorn:( whispering)Listen Pisces, Don't ruin anything. Cancer knows all enchantment, as soon as we all leave, they will free themselves. I wrote all of them on it's wrist. It's our plan.
Aquarius:Now Pisces, stop manipulating everyone here. Some potion is with me.
I will give it to Cancer.
Pisces:Why don't you tell this to everyone?
Aquarius:No Gemini will not keep this a secret, Taurus always has a doubt, and Sagittarius and Leos are impulsive, they will act without thinking. Scorpio is too mysterious, God knows with whom they team up.
Capricorn: Virgo has their plans and own criteria, they overanalyze the situation.
Libra:Sorry I heard it all Now what's my role here
Aquarius: Handle Gemini Aries and Taurus.
Libra:But Virgo, Sagi, and Leo will not listen to me
Sagittarius: I am with Pisces, don't leave Cancer here
Leo:Me too with Pisces, thinking(why to make Cancers so important)
Virgo:Neither with team Capricorn not
With Pisces. I have my plan.
Taurus:With Pisces
Libra:Can't decide, both are right
Gemini:Stop being diplomatic. I am with Aquarius
Aries:I am with myself and I am leaving. Go to hell, everyone.
Aries looked right into the eyes of the ghost and asked them angrily to get out of their way.
Ghost let Aries go.
Scorpio:Dont leave Cancer here they are too beautiful to sleep with a ghost
Sagittarius and Gemini exchanged glances and smiled sheepishly.
Aquarius:(Angrily)It's not suggestive dear Scorpio
Scorpio:Somebody is getting jealous
Libra: Jealous! No way an Aquarius would ever feel for a Cancer
Gemini:They are not their type.
Pisces:Cancer is mine, we are made for each other and I am staying here with them. You all can go.
Gemini:Why does every time Pisces choose to remain in the house
Sagittarius: (In a playful manner)Maybe they are too mesmerized by Ghost
Scorpio:If the ghost allows Pisces to stay...
Aquarius:Not everyone is as possessive as you in love. Love is freedom
Pisces:I manipulated the ghost saying Cancer is a master of mood swings and sometimes very defensive. You will sometimes need a charismatic person fatherly figure like me.
Ghost: OK all leave, I am keeping both Cancer and Pisces.
Aquarius thought for a while and then said to the ghost:
Can we all say a last goodbye to Pisces and Cancer?
Taurus:When did the heartless Aquarius get all these emotions?
Sagittarius: There
from where you get your loyalty.
Taurus:(Blushing)Thanks:
Gemini:Knock knock! We have double minds.
Libra:And we always do justice
Leo:We are the most fearless
Sagittarius:And we are the most outgoing
Virgo:Here I will say it for you all
I am the most organized, Cancers are the most motherly, Pisces is the most manipulating and flexible, Scorpions are the masters of sarcasm and dedication, Capricorn is ambitious, Aquarians are the most intelligent and the Aries never give up
Aquarius:Enough! Come back to the plan
Capricorn: OK tell me Aquarius? What's the plan
Aquarius:I want to give this potion to cancer, I will give it. Capricorn you duplicate this map and hand it to Pisces secretly.
Virgo: Leo is brilliant in overacting, they will give the sword to Cancer
Leo:Good in what?
Libra:They said acting, Go show your acting skills
Taurus:I already figured out where the ghost energy is highest, Give me the map Capri, and I will mark those points.
Virgo: See I have made a neat duplicate copy of the map.
Capricorn kissing the Virgo:As always my super organised buddy
Leo:I will act but what should I say so as not to freak out the ghost
Gemini:Listen, Come here I will write you a script with double-meaning words
I know how to make Cancers understand.
Sagittarius: I would give my protection amulet to Cancer
Gemini:You have a heart of gold and a strong faith in god
Libra:But the ghost won't let you, let me make a beautiful cover of it so that the ghost will think of it as something different.
Libra tears the corner of its scarf and wraps it around the amulet to make it look like a hair bow.
Sagittarius:wow so creative
Aquarius to Scorpio:Won't you help
Scorpio:I just prefer to keep silent but that does not mean I don't care. I have made this invisible potion, that will blind the ghost for some time.
Aquarius:Good And I have made the freezing potion that will freeze the ghost I will give this to Cancer and you will give it to the Pisces
Scorpio: OK but that doesn't mean I am working under you.
Gemini handed the script to Leo and asked him not to say it all but give it to Cancer to read, and Sagittarius taught Leo how to act.
Virgo and Taurus carry the duplicate map.
Libra handed the disguised amulet to Sagittarius.
Ghost:Ok I want some rest, leave everybody
Aquarius:But we want to meet our friends one last time.
Ghost:No, that can be a trap. Leave everyone.
Just then Aries showed up all of a sudden Sagittarius:Oh God, You came back
Scorpio:You have to because you went without a map.
Aries:No I was feeling guilty, and I want to stay with you all
Taurus:Or maybe you haven't found a way out
Libra: OK whatever, don't doubt your buddy's intentions. I am glad you are back
Aries to Ghost: You have to let us meet our friends last time.
Ghost:No
Aries: Yes
Ghost:No
Aries:Yes
Ghost:You are acting like a
stubborn child
Aries:Everyone knows me I won't give up
That's my trait
Ghost: OK go and meet your friends all of you, one last time but in front of me
Aries:My dear cancer! all the time you saved me but stop thinking about others, save yourself, come run.
Cancer:No sweety go ahead I am born to give sacrifice for loved ones
Taurus to Cancer:Meet you soon, I have a new recipe. Let me have a secret word with Pisces.
Taurus hugged Pisces and kept the map in one of its pockets
Gemini to Cancer: How are you feeling little angel? Take care, one selfie
Cancer and Gemini keep taking selfies and deleting them. Cancer isn't happy with any of the poses.
Cancer:I am looking dull in that, fat in another one, and plain in the next one
Capricorn: Hurry up, others are waiting.
Gemini:Bye dear
Cancer:Hey don't post the ugly ones.
Libra:One moment cancer is so mature sacrificing themselves and another moment, so childish so concerned about their pictures
Scorpio:They are very unstable, unpredictable, and charming too
Virgo:(In a very serious mood, with tears in their eyes)Take care buddy
The cancer started crying and hugging Virgo.
Sagittarius: So unpredictable a moment before Cancer was smiling and now crying
Pisces : (smiling)Only I can handle them.
Leo:(In a very dramatic way, as taught by Sagittarius and Gemini): You are the savior, You both! I bent towards you
and placed the sword in your feet, my lords.
Leos started giving poses beckoning Libra to take pictures from one side and Gemini to click snaps from another angle.
Taurus:So much of drama by Leo
Aries: Look at the Cancer poses, too are a part of this lion concert.
Capricorn:No, Cancer is only following the instructions written on the paper that Leo gave to them and Leo is also acting.
Virgo:So that means to distract the Ghost
Aquarius:Look Ghost's attention is on Cancer styling poses.
Scorpio: And yours too? What a stupid ghost, wish I could be in his place.
But now I have to give the potion to Pisces.
Scorpio hugged Pisces and gave them the potion secretly
Ghost saw Scorpio talking to Pisces
Ghost: Don't you want to say goodbye to Cancer?
Scorpio:Yes (from afar)Goodbye sweetheart
Ghost: That's it?No hugging and kissing
Aquarius:May I do it on Scorpio's behalf
Aquarius hugged Cancer so passionately that everyone's eyes grabbed attention and Aquarius stealing from everybody's eyes cleverly handed the potion to Cancer.
Gemini:It's just a plan of Aquarius.
Taurus:Or maybe it's unexpressed emotion.
Libra:Whatever it is, leave it to Aquariu's personal space. Bye Cancer, bye Pisces (waving from Far away)
Sagittarius to Cancer: Bye dear (whispering in the ear some prayers)
Cancer:All praise is to God
(Gesturing Sagittarius to give a protective amulet to Pisces)
Sagittarius gave the amulet to the Pisces.
Pisces:God bless you all and may curse this devil Ghost.
Everyone looked at Pisces in shock
Pisces:I just imagined saying these words and I don't know how they come up.
Ghost:Shut up you dirty little fish.
Ghost banged the Pisces to the wall
Cancer:(Crying and then suddenly got up and started shouting)
How dare you Ghost!
Now see the wrath of this little crab.
Cancer took the freezing potion out of its pocket started enchanting the spells and poured all of it into the Ghost. Then it leaned towards Pisces to pick them up and was bringing Pisces on its shoulders. But the Ghost somehow managed to free itself from the potion attack, no doubt rendering them weaker than before. It pulled Cancer towards it and started choking Cancer. Pisces picked up the sword from beside them and attacked the ghost from behind.
Aquarius: Emotional fools
Libra: Amazed at Cancer-fighting skills
Gemini:It's so funny, where is my mobile I will make the video.
Taurus:Aren't they fighting after we all leave peacefully?
Capricorn:The plan is ruined by both Pisces and Cancer. They started fighting without letting others go. What's the need for a plan when no one wants to follow
Aquarius: That's why you and I should be there instead of them. They started switching to emotions rather than logic.
Capricorn:But a certain kind of madness is needed to stay with the ghost which you and I are lacking because we put logic first.
Virgo:Shame on you people! I am going for their help.
Taurus:(Eating Chips)If my help is needed, Virgo, please call me
Libra:Keep the balance, the ghost should get some more ghosts to fight as he is alone and we are twelve.
Gemini:The libra and the scales are always looking for justice but darling Libra our ghost alone is more than twelve of us.
Aquarius:And Gemini Twins always have double minds about everything. Either you make a video or chat with Libra.
Sagittarius:I am getting bored, come Aries let's fight and defeat the ghost.
Taurus:Sagittarius the arch man will attack from the front I guess
Leo:Wait, How can you forget me, The hero is here.
Leo asked Libra and Gemini to make a video while it is fighting.
Capricorn:Where is Virgo, there is some confusion on the map
Libra:They have gone for a fight and are somewhere in the house.
Gemini:Capri is only concerned about the
Map.
Capricorn:When the fight is over, we have to get out of this house somehow. There is a problem with the map.
Aquarius:Show me I will sort it out
Taurus:Where is Scorpio?
Scorpio:I was trying to get some nap but the sounds of the ghost and others are so disturbing.
Aquarius:The fire babies have all gone for a fight, Are you not helping your water babies?
Scorpio:( smiling)Who are you worried about?
They are enough, Cancer knows sorcery and is strong inside and Pisces is flexible as hell and manipulative too. What's the need for Scorpio poison then? Crab and fish are enough.
Libra:And we Air signs are cool
Taurus:And earth signs are Judious wise and practical
Capricorn:But Virgo is a bit more than us. It is more sensible too
Libra:Look at how you are concerned for Virgo
Capricorn:I do
Taurus: At least we Earth accept and understand our emotions, unlike Aquarius who had a hard time expressing their feelings even to themselves.
Gemini: Right! Can you guess what is the sign of a ghost?
Scorpio:The Ophius
Aquarius: How do you know?
Scorpio: it's not that only you are intelligent, and some people work in secret too.
Just then a book of some sort came hitting the Scorpion's head.
Scorpio:(In rage): What the hell? Let me show you the Scorpio poison, I am coming...
