Aquarius, the Water Bearer

Virgo's POV :

This place is not far from the Hotel. My vision brings me here.

Even though I haven't entered the Hospital yet, I can already feel their eyes that are going to eat me. I hate attention and I hate those eyes.

Those eyes seem to tell me that I'm such an eyesore to them.

Taurus and I should have changed our clothes first. This kind of attire attracts people, in a bad way. I feel like we're living in the Medieval period.

I'm wearing a long black cape with a pattern of my own zodiac on my right pec.

But I was so excited to see her… that it won't bother me wearing this attire.

As much as possible, I really want to cover my eyes so I can't see them.

But this is the only way I can do for me to see you, for me to locate you, Aquarius.

I just bowed my head because of shame. While I was walking I bumped into a girl.

I wasn't looking at her but I saw the death of the girl I bumped into.

Car crash, 14:05 p.m.

I want to help her and I feel sorry for that child.

But helping people is not for this gift.

They may see me as weird and unfortunate, just what my family and my neighbors think of me.

And then abandoned me like I was nothing to them. Hurt me like I'm not a human, they never saw me as their child, their friend, a student, and a person who endured a lot of pain because of what they did.

And one more thing, this life of mine proves that at least once, I haven't saved a life using my ability.

So what's the use of this vision, if I've seen it all but still can't change it anymore?

Yet, I have to try.

"Hey, kid! Tell your Mom that a car crash will happen if she continues fighting with your Dad over little things." I warned the child that was eating her ice cream peacefully.

And all of a sudden her Mom came in between us like a lion. Her eyebrows collided. She must be thinking that I'm a kidnapper.

"What are you doing to my daughter?!" She asked furiously.

"This woman said that if you continue fighting with Daddy, a car crash will happen." The girl said to her mother like it was nothing.

I understand she's just a kid.

The mother looked at me with intense eye contact, raising her eyebrows at my face. She held her daughter so tight and before she left she didn't say anything to me but threw the girl's ice cream in my chest.

I can hear people around us whispering, mumbling about me. Those judgemental people suck.

Honestly, I would gladly accept hurtful words rather than throwing some ice cream at me. But, never mind. Humanity is not as good as what they watched on the internet.

This is why Humanity will fall…

Today, my priority is to find Aquarius. I will not waste this opportunity.

I immediately removed my glasses and as I opened wide my amber eyes I saw everything in just a second. And found out that Aquarius may take the elevator to go to the 3rd floor.

I assume she will meet her mother and her comatose father there.

Aquarius' family is in dire straits now. They are neither rich nor poor but still, their savings and wages are not enough for their living expenses. Especially their Hospital bills.

Her father was comatose for a bitter reason.

Aquarius wanted to swim in one of the deepest parts of the sea. She also likes surfing. But unfortunately, there is a high tide. She didn't know about that because she was so young and still tried to swim. She was about to die from drowning but luckily her father saved her.

In return, her father was comatose.

And until this day, she's still blaming herself.

I entered the elevator where I saw Aquarius enter as well. I was surprised by the woman who was almost behind me when I entered the elevator. She takes the lead in choosing the floor number.

She noticed me after a few minutes, asking what floor I was going to.

It's her.

It's her deep blue eyes like an ocean, her long curly brunette hair like waves, and especially her smile that reminds me of her.

Aquarius.

"Miss, what floor are you going to? Hello?" She waved her hand to get my attention because I was just staring at her stupidly.

My vision starts to blur because of the impending tears. Luckily I was wearing glasses so it wasn't that obvious to her.

My knees were shaking from a mixture of sadness and joy.

I miss her so much.

My eyes were so teary seeing her alive like this.

"Aquarius..." I suddenly mentioned her name which surprised her.

"Ahm? Are you okay?"

"Same floor." I gave her a bitter smile. I had to restrain myself, my emotions. Aquarius might be more afraid of my actions.

"O-kay?" She looked away as if she was also hesitant to turn away from me out of nervousness.

I wouldn't be surprised if she feels a little agitated about me. I showed her some creepy first impressions, who wouldn't be nervous? I also called her Aquarius.

Calling her Aquarius again was very painful.

We were on the 3rd floor and she let me out first with a smile on her face. If there's one thing I'll never forget about Aquarius, it is her smile on me.

The first smile I received in this world that made me feel all the bitterness and anger, and made me feel alone.

But right now, that smile she was wearing was fake.

I stopped in front of her and looked at her slowly. And I'm right, she's also watching me.

She didn't even flinch or blink one eye. There's no sign of her showing that she's scared either.

She's just staring at me.

"I've been feeling something weird about you for a while now. Do you have some business with me?" Her smile is gone. It was replaced by seriousness.

I swear, Aquarius is very dangerous when she's mad. I will make this quick.

"You still haven't changed."

"Excuse me?"

I know what she thinks. She let me go out first in that elevator so that I could not follow her to her father's room and stay behind me to observe my actions.

Clever as always.

"I want to talk to you sincerely."

"You are now talking to me."

"And I want you to listen, Rebecca." I quickly replied.

She got a huge shock on her face for a second after hearing what I said. She's now clenching her fist looking at me fiercely.

"Who are you, and how did you know my name?" I saw her gulp, maybe because she was agitated.

"I know all about you Rebecca or Aquarius. Your life, your birthday, your personality, your gift—"

"Gift? Christmas is over! And why are you calling me Aquarius? Yeah, I'm an Aquarius but that's not my real name. What is wrong with you!?" She started to shout at me. Which makes people on the counter look at us.

"You feel it too, right? You feel some connections between us. Otherwise, you won't stop just to listen to what I have to say. You're curious."

Her frown deepened into a scowl, staring like she was studying me.

"Don't touch my family or I'm gonna kill you!" She warned me as she pointed her finger at my face.

"I won't."

"Are you one of those people who I have debts to pay?"

I'm the one who owes you, Aquarius. "Definitely not."

"Then, what do you want?" She asked.

"Just listen. Aquarius, the Water Bearer. The 11th Astrological sign in the Zodiac…" I gave her the card that I had been holding, which contained the address, where and what day we would meet her.

She even hesitated to take the card from me at first.

"I'm Virgo, the Maiden. The 6th Astrological sign in the Zodiac. If you're curious about who we are—"

"Who?! Who we are? I'm sorry, ARE?" She squinted her eyes, looking for an answer.

"Yes. ARE. Visit the place indicated on the card with the exact date written there."

I paused for a second and smiled slightly because of her reaction.

While she was reading the card I was watching her.

And too many painful memories have suddenly entered my mind.

I'm sorry Aquarius.

I let you die alone.

That day. If I was there.

"W-What is this fr-fraternity? And did you just call yourself Virgo?" She asked while waving the card.

"Go visit your father now. Until we meet again, Aquarius."

"How did you know..." I left her curious in her spot.

I turned myself back after saying goodbye to Aquarius. When I turned, I felt the tears on my cheeks dripping, tears that I had been holding back.

I wish I could spend more time with you, during our time.
