"What are you doing here, who are you?", he cautiously asks.
"I-I don't know", I reply frantically trying to remember.
"You don't know who you are?" He scoffs before continuing.
"So you're dumb?"
"I don't-"
"What's your sign?"
"I dont k-"
"Of course you don't".
He quickly walked over to me, yanking my arm away from me and frantically twisting my hand back and fourths, trying to find my symbol.
"What the? Where's your sign?" He looks desperately into my eyes. They were a calming blue but right now I was far from calm.
"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW", I burst out, breaking from his grip.
He looks at me, his breath hitched.
"You're not safe, I don't know who you are or what you are but you have to hide".
"All I know is my names Everlee".
"Whatever, put this on".
He hands me a dark red coat. It was quite too big for me but I still followed as he asked.
"Put the hood in and keep your head down".
He grabs me by my hand and starts to led me from the direction he emerged from before.
"Where are we going?" I quietly whisper just loud enough for him to hear.
"Aridel. Don't talk to anyone unless I tell you to, and if anyone asks, you're an Aries, got it?"
I nod, not able to get any words out.
I feel his grip tighten as voices get closer.
"Woah, Milo, who've you found", an older man asks.
Now that I thought about it, he did look like a 'Milo'. Strong like a solider you know?
"Found them wondering the forest, said she was playing with the younglings".
The older man chuckles, "Those kids are a handful, eh?"
I cautiously nod, my head still looking at the ground.
"Better get going Harold, got a lot to do ya know?"
"Of course Milo, who am I to stop you from your work. Get going kids".
Milo yanks my arm once again as he speeds away from the man.
He quickly dashed me into what I was assuming was a house based on my limited vision.
"I'm going to ask you one more time. What the hell are you?"
"I swear I don't-"
"Fuck stop playing alright. We can stay here all day going back an-".
He seemed to zone out causing him to stop his sentence before quickly zoning back in.
"Shit no"
He paced back and fourth obviously having a realisation, I just didn't know what.
"What? What could possible make this worse?"
"We have a meeting, in an hour, of all the signs and it's quite obvious you don't have one", he replied shaking his head with frustration.
"I have an idea".
