go.’ I took her arm and guided her across the street. ‘Why did you go?’
She kept her head low as we passed people on their way home from work.
‘He’s going to kill me,’ she muttered but I heard her perfectly.
Would it be such a bad idea to let her meet Nick? We could bug her and listen to their conversation. If we knew what he wanted, maybe we could bring the whole stalking to an end.
‘Did you go so that he could kill you? Or to try and avoid it?’
Her grip on my arm tightened. She glared at me as we entered her road. No one was following. I had made sure to keep an eye on the people around us.
‘Don’t be silly! I was going to talk to him to stop all this. To try and sort out the mess I made.’
It was good to see a small part of the mother I remembered. Her pupils flared when I looked into them.
‘That’s who we need right now,’ I said, rubbing her back as I led her up the steps to her flat.
‘What do you mean?’ She darted glances behind her the whole way to the front door.
I unlocked it and pushed her inside. She almost tripped but I kept a hold of her. ‘Our real mother. The one that’s not frightened or acting strange.’
‘Strange?’
I forced a chuckle. Maybe if she thought I was making a joke, she wouldn’t take me too seriously.
‘You’re right. I’ve not been myself.’
‘You’re fine…well, you’re not, but you know-’
Her head shake cut me off. She slouched on the sofa and aimed the remote control to switch on the television. She stared at it, obviously waiting for me to leave. What had got into her?
‘Are you okay?’ I stuttered.
She stood quickly, smiling brightly. It was the weirdest change in character I had seen for a long time. I stepped back, holding up my arms as she came to me. Reaching out, she brushed her hands down my sleeves.
‘Gemini. You’re like two people. You fight with yourself all the time, did you know that?’
I smiled gently. ‘No, I don’t. Well, I suppose I do. But then…’ My sentence trailed off when I heard the truth of it.
‘You must go,’ Mother said, gesturing to the door.
I agreed with her and gave her a quick hug goodbye. She resumed her sofa position. Taking the key with me, I locked her in. The guilt that washed over me was shoved down into the pit of my stomach. It was for her own safety.
Taking my phone out, I dialled Taurus.
‘What’s happening?’ he asked.
I skipped down the steps, making sure to check that no one watched me. ‘I’ve taken Mother home. She was on her way to see Nick.’
Taurus’ sigh echoed my own. It was time we did something about our parents. Father had proved that he was trying to help. Especially when it came to Pisces and Antony. He had been captured by Nick. Since his release he had tried to get our attention but we had been too busy with our lives.
‘Nick is still in the hotel. I saw him go in. A couple of his men are outside in the street. They don’t seem that threatening, I could-’
‘Don’t do anything. I’m on my way.’
The phone beeped off as I jogged down the road. I would need a clean shirt soon. Sweat seeped onto the fresh material of the one I wore.
Getting into another taxi, I leant my head against the back of the seat as it took me to a road near the hotel. When I climbed out, I heard a commotion in the next street. Taurus was in trouble. I wasn’t sure how I knew but I did.
‘I wouldn’t go round there if I were you. There’s a fight,’ one woman said as I was about to head towards the hotel.
I nodded, thanking her for her warning. Ignoring her, I let my feet carry me around the corner.
Taurus was in front of the coffee shop. His arm thrashed about in the air. A small tree by the hotel entrance was swinging with his efforts. It wasn’t enough. There were six men ready to attack.
I passed the people trying to get away from the scene. Nick’s men advanced on Taurus. Why had he confronted them?
‘What are you doing?’ I shouted when I got
