-----------------------------------

CHAPTER I

 This story is no longer without place, all the characters went to their cities, states, and even the continents. They only met that day, on the 15th of June until, one by one, they did not stop coming. Holly stayed in touch with girls from Europe and some time with Tali, and then they slowly stopped appearing to each other.

 In her village it was quiet again, except that Holly's father was ill, but her brother slightly strengthened and could help her. After rescuing the village, there were many offers for marriage, but she rejected them all. She liked only a nice young man Jan from the other part of the village, but she did nothing to get him. She no longer wore her blue blouse and brown trousers but a shirt, a dark red vest, a layered skirt similar to the ballet skirt, and below were black leggins,a ribbon with golden star and black boots to the knee. The dagger was put in a glass box , she thought she would no longer need it, but ...

 One day a letter from Raul's twin brother Raun, who wanted revenge, came to her. He wrote her to go to every girl, invite them to their old place and invite all eleven signs. Holly trought of this last one that it is a mistake or something, and then continued to read. It was written that his people were watching all the girls and that he would kill anyone who did not come,so she prepared for the journey and went.

 On the way, she met Jan. Jan: "Hello, Holly, where are you going?" Holly: "On the way around the world." Jan (laughs): "Ha, ha, that's good joke!" Holly (serious facial expression): "I'm really going. I'm not kidding." Jan: "Oh... (pause)... May I come with you? I would take money and a few things from home and..." Holly: "Some other time, now I have to sort something out myself." Jan (disappointed): "I just wanted to get to know you better." Holly (waves him): "The another time." Jan (going home): "Eh, I do not give up so easily ..."

 Having already had to go to Romania for Irina, she decided to go first to Hungary, to Maya,then to Slovakia for Julia. Julia still wore a tail on one side, but now she wore a simple dress up to her knees, with a short sleeves, in pink color. She lived alone in a quiet area.

 Maya was no longer alone - she got married in the meantime. She was wearing a long-sleeved dress, decorated with lace flowers, in her hair also wearing ornaments in the form of flowers, and replaced one larger braid with two smaller ones.

 Holly went to Ardeal, Romania . She did not notice that Jan followed her all the time. When she found transportation, he would immediately find a way to follow her, not losing sight of her.

 They came in front of the huge castle of Count Dracula.

CHAPTER II

 Holly and her traveling companion went to the gate of the castle. The man stopped her at the entrance. "I would not go in there if I were you. There is a ghost! She is uncatchable!" Holly: "Ghost is a woman?" The man nodded. Holly: "Really ... I can not be afraid of the something I do not believe in." (takes the dagger into her hands and enters) Jan was still frightened and did not enter the castle.

 Holly was left in the wonder - everything in the castle moved! In the middle of the room, she saw a black ghost of girl who wore tight trousers, black sleeveless shirt and short gloves without fingers. Holly went to her with a dagger, then the spirit turned and Holly dropped the dagger ...

 Holly (shocked): "Oh, God, how ...? Impossible! Is it really you, Irina?" Irina: "My power went wrong, because you know that the eighth house represents death, and so my body has turned into a scorpion and I am technically dead. I should not play with the powers. " Holly: "Okay, we have to find that scorpion. Is there a place where you did not search?" Irina: "Just in the part where the dungeons are." Holly: "Let's go over there."

 The dungeon was dark, so they slowly walked away, taking care not to hit anything. "There it is!" -shouted Holly pointing to the old beam. Irina popped on it, grabbed the scorpion, then the beam broke and Holly got scared, but Irina was not hurt because she was a ghost. They returned to the first room, where Irina reversed her power and again became a human being .

 After they said goodbye to each other, Holly moved to Marel. She changed her sweatpants with skirt, but she also replaced her shirt with the upper part of her sweatshirt, and her hair remained the same. She was surprised when she saw Holly in front of her door.

 She did not stay in Athens for a long time, but moved to Paris, where Loren greeted her happily. Instead of wearing a dress she wore a sleeveless shirt and a tight skirt to knees, and everything else remained the same. Holly is not a fan of warming welcome, but nevertheless accept Loren's offer to be a guest at lunch. After a short break, she continues her journey to Britain.

CHAPTER III

 Going with a train under Lamanch, she arrived to Britain. Elena and Eliza said they would inform Tali, and she would then inform Rani, Florel and Beli, while Holly went to Anja.

 She started off from Britain to Beijing, then to Java, the largest island of the Indian archipelago. She only did not count on one thing. As part of her powers, Anja could turn into a siren and most probably was in the depths of the Pacific or the Indian Ocean. Holly couldn't, of course, go into the depths of the ocean because she is an Earth sign (though the Capricorn is in some cases represented with a fish-tail instead of his hind legs.)

 She went to the beach where Anja lived but she received information that she had long since disappeared. Feeling told her to wait for the night. It was a very warm weather but Holly did not want to sunbath on the hot sand,she just gone to shade.

 Early in the evening, about six o'clock in the evening, a small boat emerged near the shore and an elderly man, a captain, stepped out of it ,began to run towards the Holly and shouted "Miss, move away, save yourself! (Holly wondered, and he approaches) You have to come with me before White Siren comes in! "Holly (laughs):" White Siren... (gets serious suddenly) I want to see her, I need her. " Man (returns to the ship) "Okay, it's a pity for your young life, but you have been searching for it. They will pick you up in the morning, dead, I assume! Just tell me your name so we can write it down in the book of the dead!" Holly got angry and pulled out the dagger, but the man turned the boat-White Siren came.

 She returned the dagger in the covers and ran to the turbulent sea, seeing the siren. She had short hair, and Holly thought that it was Anja's friend, because Anja had longer hair than siren, but she was uncomfortably surprised when she approached - it was Anya! Why would gentle Anja kill people? What happened to her and why she could not get out of the water?Holly called her in vain, she only run away and eventually got lost in the water.

 In the morning, the captain was surprised to see that Holly is alive and she answered: "It's not easy to kill me." She stayed on that beach, waiting for the night and opportunity to see her friend again.

CHAPTER IV

 The night came. On the shore is Holly, anxiously awaits Anja. She thought how she would reach her-she made a net from the reed, and, when she get close enough, Anja's tail would cling and she could not escape.

 That happened and Holly went to her. Anja: "Run, Holly, please, take it away, I do not want to hurt you!" Holly (removes the net): "I want you to tell me what the hell happened to you! " Anja: "After the fight I came from Moldova here and, since I got in relationship with a young man, his ex-girlfriend cursed me that I have to come to this beach for two years and kill anyone I find on it. I saw you, I was scared and run away. I did not want to hurt you, even if it means I never walk on the land... They tried to capture me, but they only managed to cut off my hair, in fact, my hair clung to the engine of the ship and I had to cut it off to save myself. I can not stand this anymore! Pain, suffering, screaming of all victims and... all that blood and crying around me... Oh, I'm a killer! "Holly:" Is there anything I can do? " Anja: "No... only this girl can break the curse. And what did you come to tell me?" Holly: "Raul's twin brother, Raun, wants to get us all in our place, on a duel." Anja: "I'll come as fast as I can. I do not guarantee that I will get in, but I will try."

 Now, when they are informed, the only thing left is to come to the agreed place. Holly again took the letter and read "all eleven signs", and then remember- Anja is not on the list, which means that someone follows her as well! She opened four eyes to find who follows her ...

 If you thought she saw this man and ran away, you made a mistake. She saw Jan. He fell in love with her during this journey as she had fallen in love with him before, but now her love was replaced by anger, because she thought that Jan worked for Raun. He tried to explain that it's not true, she reacted very furiously and finally slapped him. He did not have another argument why he followed her except that he wanted to know her better, but for Holly it was not enough- without hard evidence, she could not trust him. Therefore, he told her that he will return to the village and marry another girl in spite to her. With regard to the whole situation, it was the least important to her.

 She quickly repented - The next day she saw the one who really followed her all the time. She wanted to apologize to Jan, but she had a long way in front of her, leaving it for later.

CHAPTER V

 It's time for friends and enemies to meet again and to unbury war axes, to remind what happened before and see what is about to happen.

When Holly came, Florel, Maya and Julia were already there, and then came the rest, all but Beli and Anja. Just when they lost hope that the ninth sign of the Zodiac would come, a tall girl of blonde hair tied up in the pony tail, wearing clothes like amazonian women warriors and a bow and arrow on her shoulder came to them.

 As soon as they they gathered, behind the tree, the "Attack!" sign was heard, and then the girls were surrounded by Raun's men, with pistols pointed at them. They ordered them to put things on the ground, especially weapons, so they could not attack, but Holly did not want to drop the dagger at the price of life. They wanted to capture one by one and to take them out. When one of them wanted to catch Holly, she pulled a dagger on him and stabbed him in the arm. Raun ordered to take him to the doctor and put Holly to sleep. She resisted, but ultimately loses her fight.

 An hour later she woke up in the prison with Beli. Raun knew who had a fights with whom,so he put enemies in the same dungeon. Beli: "Look what you got us into!" Holly: "I did not expect this. We are powerless without weapons. " Beli: "We're in trouble!"

 The next day, the girls went to Raun, where he said, "I have a proposal, no, an order, for you. You will fight against one another. The winner gets freedom, the loser will be killed, unless gets killed by the opponent in the battle. That's the punishment which you will pay for my brother. "

 The girls looked at each other, some cried, while Raun smiled meanly. No other way, they can not escape. How to fight each other? Do they have enough courage to kill or injure someone they know for years? Or this is just good opportunity to revenge each other? You will find out in Chapter 6.

CHAPTER VI

 The next day they brought the girls back to Raun. He told them that they would train one day and fight aganist each other and,from tomorrow, they would start real fights. Beli said that she need no "training" to kill Holly,on what Holly said she wanted to forever silence Beli. Raun liked their arguments and told people to return them to prison, but to separate them so they won't calm down during the night.

 There were battles in five different halls. In the hall one- Julia and Elena. The earth against the air, this was an equal fight. In the hall two- Maya and Tali. Maya is physically stronger, but this was an equal fight. In the third hall- Loren and, instead of Anja, Eliza. Loren was stronger because the wind sparked fire. In the fourth hall,  Rani and Florel. Rani balanced between "I want to win" and "I do not want to fight!" , and Florel was not very skillful with the weapon, so this fight was unfinished. In the fifth hall there was a fierce: Marel vs. Irina. Sparks on all sides, a strong fight. Irina won because od the stronger patience, but Marel was also good .

 Holly and Beli talk in the dungeon. Beli: "I feel weird ... I am an optimistic person, but I feel such a negativity in myself. I do not want to kill you." Holly: "I don't want to kill you either. But, there must be a winner of the fight . " Beli: "Why do we have to fight?" Holly: "We will fight. You will win." Beli (shocked): "What do you mean ?!" Holly (let her head down): "When a samurai loses honor, he recruits one solution." Beli(mysterious): "Um ... surrender? Depart, what is he doing?" Holly: "Seppuku." Beli: "I heard somewhere that word... where I heard it ... (shocked) Wait, you're going to kill yourself! Holly, please tell me you did not mean it!" Holly: "Yes. If you win, tell my family that I love them... "Beli:" No! I will not let you do it... "Holly (imagine):" Maybe it's the smartest option ... "

 In the morning, their fight began. Both got swords and then a miracle occurs: clothes like warrior's appear on them. Holly had a dress in a dark blue color, on one shoulder she had a bretelle made of big pearls , the sleeves were half-cut, had a wide belt through the stomach and the same ones, only smaller, on her arms.Under was a black-colored skirt. Beli wore a red shirt with openings in the form of a deltoid and a skirt, similar to the one previously used. The stone underneath the ground became earthy, and around the place of the battle fire was flashing, symbolizing fire and earth, that is, their elements.

 The battle began. Their swords shone, and then the Holly winked Beli and she did to her, to make sure they are working to the plan. Holly: "You will pay me for that attempt of murder!" Beli: "No, I'll finish what I started!" Holly:, At least I understand life seriously. "Beli:" Oh, really, Capricorn! " Holly: "And what are you, Centaur, half man, half a horse?" Beli stopped talking, came closer with the sword to the Holly, whispered: "You will not really cut off your stomach like a samurai? That's a bit too much." then shouted: "When I kill you, I will receive a reward, I hope they will quickly release me!" Holly (whispering): "I will not go so far, it must only kill me, not to spill all my internal organs on the ground. (shout) That's what you think! "

 The girls were trembling, realizing that this was not a game but a real fight. There was a lot of insults from both Holly and the Beli's side. At one point, they went swiftly to one another, striving to stab the heart with a sword, so that their enemy would immediately die.

 At least a meter of distance, when it was already obious they will kill each other, something incredible happened - they pushed away the swords from one another, shook hands and then hugged. When they thought the fight was over, the other girls started screaming and crying- Holly cut her neck, and then Beli did the same thing! They fell to the ground, bleeding all the time, until finally they were dead.

 Raun ordered people to take shocked girls into the dungeon and the bodies, when the fire was down, to throw away from the castle. Raun's people threw the bodies right by the river, but they were uncomfortably surprised when they turned around - they sensed the blade of the sword on the neck. The Holly and Beli are alive! But... how ?! You will find out in the next chapter...

CHAPTER VII

 Holly and Beli went back to Raun's castle. In the end, they sniffed in, taking care of the guards who saw them.

 In the dungeons, a cry was heard. Elena: "How to fight now? One by one we will lose our heads in this castle!" Maya: "We lost two strongest fighters in the group, we have no chance!" Irina: "If we do not have exits, then we can surrender collectively. I have some idea that this is not over." Marel: "I have to disappoint you, but it's over. They are dead!" Tali: "If there were some other circumstances, we might be able to believe that they are alive, but this way..." Rani: "What is the plan, what to do next?" Loren: "To fight, then whoever wins, let her win." Florel: "No, we can not fight, it's not diplomatic!" Eliza: "It's too late for diplomacy, we are dead!" Holly and Beli: "(Beli) What all that weening is about, did you hear about hope?" (Holly) We're here to free you! " Julia: "But ... it is not possible ... you .... (faints)" Elena: "Oh the hell, Julia fainted, but here, she gets better." Beli (opens their dungeon): "Come on, let's go for our stuff." Holly: "You're right, I miss my dagger." Loren: "How did you survive?" Marel: "We saw that you bled out and ..." Beli: "The idea of Holly. Do you remember she survived when I shot her? The plan was that only she die, but I thought I'd better be there to help. "Holly: " The power of the zodiac has protected us. Still, do not try this at home. " Irina (stunned): "Wicked, man!" Rani: "Let's defeat Raun!"

 After several searched rooms, they found their stuff. Holly (searching in her bag): "There is no my dagger!" Raun (behind her): "You are looking for this?" (Shows her dagger) "Holly (loudly):" Return it back or I will ... "Raul (mockingly):" What are you going to do?Beg me to give you your little knife back. " Holly (hits Raun in the leg and he moaned): "I don't beg, I'm fighting!" (hits him in the other leg) "Raun tries to stab her, but she moves aside.

 His men attacked the other girls, but they found at least something to defend, for example Florel sprayed the perfume into the eyes of the enemies so others had time to hit them with something.

 The Holly had already become weak, which Raun took advantage of and came with the dagger towards the Holly, but Beli came to the aid in the last minute- she shot Raun straight into the forehead with arrow, and he fell dead to the ground. Holly: "Uh, this is nasty." Beli: "Yesterday you cut your own neck and then you did not say it was nasty." Holly (laughs): "You're right. Come on, they need help!"

 They took care of the servants and, within hours, they were in a safe distance from the castle, carrying only their things with them. Just when they wanted to say goodbye to each other, they heard scream from the water.

 Some sailor had captured Anya when she was already close to the castle to join the fight. He wanted to sell her and get a lot of money for her, but girls arrived at the right time and rescued Anja.

 Anja: "I'm sorry that I'm so late. Have I missed a lot?" Florel: "Well ... Beli and Holly fought, shaked each others hands and hugged, then they killed themselves with a sword, but they were revived when they were taken away from the castle, and then Beli shot Raun at the forehead and that was disgusting, but she did not have many choices because he was about to kill Holly. Raun made us fight with each other. I think you did not miss anything . " Anja (shocked): "What?! People, what was going on here ?!" They all smiled sorely, avoiding shocking Anja again.

CHAPTER VIII

 They decided, however, that before they get separated to talk a little about everything. They were close to water because Anya could not have been out of water for long.

 Loren and Tali went to the airport together, Florel went out for "some of her reasons" (<3), and then Maya because her husband was waiting for her. One by one, almost all gone: Twins, Marel, Julia , Irina, Rani, and the rest are only Anja, Holly and Beli. They talked a little more and then Anja sailed back to her house.

 Beli: "We're separating again. It's been an unforgettable experience, isn't it?" Holly: "It is. Now I have to apologize to a young man who followed me on the road and I pushed him away because I thought he is one of the Raun's people. " Beli(smile): "Oh, you're in love with someone! Good luck with that and greet your dad, brother and sister. Do not be so pessimistic, you see things always turn out well."

 They went out and walked their way. Already on the way back she had bad news, her father was very ill and Jan is getting married to some girl in a spite to her! The next day, regardless of her old father's request not to do something stupid, she took a shotgun and headed for Jan's house where the preparations for the ceremony were held.

 The Holly took the shotgun in both hands, aimed at Jan, but at the last moment felt sorry for him and shot a bullet above him. Several people went to grab the Holly, but Jan stopped them with the words: "Slowly, she proved to me that she loves me enough not to want someone else to have me." Holly (blushing):" No, egoist, but to show you that you're annoying and that... (Jan came and looked her in the eyes)... that I know better and ... " She did not finish the sentence because Jan had kissed her passionately and she kissed him back ...

 His marriage was canceled and their wedding is scheduled for June 15th. On June 15th all the girls assembled, including Anja from whom the curse was removed in the meantime, even her hair grew and had the same length as before. Florel came with her boyfriend Manuel, Loren with a girl she had adopted and given her name Lori, Marel and Irina came together, Rani also with the boyfriend... Maya said good news that she was pregnant and that will have a twins, which was adorable to the twins Eliza and Elena. Beli and Tali came alone and Julia accompanied by her friend.

 At the last moment, there was a problem around the wedding dress because it was not finished and the wedding was getting closer. Loren brought a very open model of wedding dress from Paris, forgetting that Holly does not like to wear clothes that are too revealing. Solution was in her mother's closet.

CHAPTER IX

 When the girls asked how she had imagined her wedding dress, Holly said she never even thought she would marry. Then she remembered: her mother's dress would suit her perfectly.

 It was a beautiful dress, full of jewels, accessories, with big sleeves and she had artificial fur on the rims. Holly's mother was saving for years, at that time such a dress was worth an arm and leg. No matter how old it was, the fur was still soft and it was white as snow... That is what surprized Holly when she opened the closet. The dress was in a box that no one else opened since her mother's death.

 She dressed up and looked perfect, like a princess. However, no matter how beautiful the dress was, she should not have wear it... Not everyone was pleasantly surprised when saw Holly in a wedding dress. Her father almost got a heart attack when he saw a daughter in a dress in which his wife married for him. He could not stand it and left the wedding. He remained silent because he did not want to hurt his daughter. The wedding ended and then the joy continued until late into the night.

 In the morning, before dawn, Holly's father was rushed to the hospital. He was in a very bad condition because of the dream he dreamed. She asked him what he had dreamed of and he, barely breathing,said: "She asked me why... why I allowed you to wear a dress. This dress is damned! My mother did not like daughter-in-law because she was poorer than us, so she was jealous when your mother managed to buy a wedding dress that was the dream of many brides. She cursed her to die when she give birth to a baby. She barely survived when she gave birth to you, but she thought that the curse had disappeared. She died at the birth of a third child, you know it yourself. I'm worried that you will die ... " Holly: "Nothing will happen to me- I will not have children, I will raise my brother and sister with you and Jan. Everything will be fine." Father: "Take care of them, please ..."

 Shortly after this conversation, he passed away. Happiness was replaced with sorrow. Next day,Holly tells Jan for her father's dream and what she promised to him... Jan (shouting): "What do you mean- you will not give birth to children? How did you think we will be in marriage without children?" Holly :,,I have to take care of my sister and my brother ... "Jan:" They are not my children, you have to give birth to that child how you know and then you can die right after that ... "Holly (takes a dagger): "You ... how can you tell me that ?!" Jan: "Holly, where are you going with that dagger? Do not come near me!" (panicly exits the room and runs to the backyard) "Holly:" Come, Jan, I will not do anything to you, I'll just kill you a little bit! " Jan: "Help me, my wife is chasing me!"

 The girls who were at Holly's place went out and held the Holly who shouted, "Go away, I don't care about you! I do not know why I agreed to marry you, when you do not respect me at all! " Jan: "Of all the girls, I just found you to marry. I was stupid!" Holly: "You were, but you showed your true face. If you care more about the offspring than about me, then pack your things and this stupidity of marriage will be terminated as soon as possible. " Jan (thinks and then says): "You'll be sorry one day (he goes to the house to pack up, Holly's brother and sister go out)." Holly's brother: "Is everything all right? Where is Jan going?" Holly (looks at them): "He is not part of our family. I will not leave you; you are my children now and I will take care of you. He can go where he thinks it's the best for him."

 Within a few days the procedure was completed and their marriage was officially finished.

 Instead of remembrance of Raun and Raul vanish in time, their friend John made sure that this did not happen so he, like Raun did, wanted to revenge to Holly. An arogant wealthy man who was boastful with money swore to Raul that, if something happened to him, he would revenge to the one who killed him. He came from Vegas with an airplane owned by him, and then continued his journey in his limousine.

 The villagers watched a car with astonishment because no one had ever passed through the village in such a luxury car.

CHAPTER X

 Holly's brother played football in front of the house on the street, with his friends. Holly's sister was with Holly in the backyard, playing with one of her thirteen dolls.

 At one point, when her brother stepped out in the middle of a street near the corner, John's limousine rushed to the Holly's house and nearly hit the boy. The sister immediately called Holly to come and she went out to see what was happening.

 Then a tall, large black-haired man came out of the hellish car. He had a black suit, a gold bracelet, a gold watch, a chain and one earring. "Hey, boy, you should look where you are going. Imagine you died! I would not like to stain my expensive car with your blood." Holly: "You maniac, how dare to say that? Is life less valuable than your goddamn car? " John: "Holly... you look the way Raul described you... maybe even more beautiful than that! Only if you were not dressed in that grandma-styled clothes but in something more revealing, it would be a real paradise for eyes." Holly: "Bastard, you dare to speak like that after you almost killed my brother ?! " John: "Raul and I liked the same things: money, drinks and women. He would not mind to spare you and take you to my villa, you would enjoy with me ... Holly (to brother, quietly):" Bring me a dagger and throw it here. (louder) No, thank you. Neither Raul brought me anything good in my life; on the contrary, I am sick of all of you. If my clothes are disturbing you, turn around and go to hell where you came from, nobody called you. I am satisfied with what I have."

 The children who found themselves went home, and Holly's brother threw a dagger to Holly, who caught it badly and hurted on it. John:" Oh, so you'd fight ?You're so proud and you're just wearing that dagger around and threatening with it... You could have killed twelve girls, you brought them to Raul! You led them straight into a trap! "

 Holly imagined and got the sense of guilt, and then heard her sister behind: "Sister, do not listen to him, you know that Raul wanted to liquidate them anyway but, when you collected them in one place, you activated the power to beat him.In the end, isn't the power of friendship and twelve friends of a different zodiac sign a wonderful gift for each of you? I would be glad to have a friend who would be with me,in both good and evil, and you have twelve of them! "

 Holly smiled and John ordered the driver to kill the girl. Seeing a pistol, Holly threw a dagger, picking up a pistol out of his hand and destroying it with power, which scares the driver. John (laughing): "Pathetic." Holly (to brother and sister ): "Go to the house, I'll handle this. (They're leaving, and John starts to laugh even harder)"

CHAPTER XI

 The street was empty. Not counting the black car, the driver in it, John and Holly, no one was outside.

 After a few minutes of silence, Holly said, "I'm not a killer. I'm not fighting anyone who is not armed. Even if you're armed I still have no heart to kill you. Raul wasn't killed either by me nor by any other girl, but by his greed. Raun, his brother, Beli shot to save me. I can not die from weapon, though, but it counts. I have the power of Zodiac Capricorn, I am stubborn, persistent, withdrawn but honest, noble and brave. My friends also have Zodiac powers, they also have their virtues and defects. You came here unnecessarily, I have no reason to fight with you. "

 Holly turned and John, offended that Holly ignored his intention, wanted to shot her with a gun and to see is truth what she said. She saw with a corner of her eye that John was pointing a pistol at her, but she did nothing because she wanted to prove that she was telling the truth. The bullet went towards her, but some invisible force was pushed her away.

 When the Holly rose, saw an animal that was not expected- tall, with long and strong horns,white like snow, a fiery glance, before her stood up... Goat? Real Goat? It's true.

 John gave up because he realized that these were not normal things, entered a car that soon disappeared behind the horizon, leaving a cloud of dust behind. Holly continued to look at her big white rescuer, it was too incredible for her. It was a wild goat and therefore was higher than the domestic goats.

 Goat: "I'm sorry if I pushed you so hard, you might get a little hurt, but you will live longer than if he shot you. "Holly (marveling):" You know I can not die from guns. " Goat: "It would only work three times, and this would be the third. Be careful - once again you get a fatal injury, this is the last time you will survive. After that, it's over ... (people started to leave the house) I'll come to your dream tonight, I can not let others see me. "(disappears)

 Curious people gathered around Holly, but she said that everything was fine and went to the house. Brother and sister hugged her, and after a few minutes the phone rang, Maya called.

Maya: "Holly, something unbelievable happened to me !" Holly: "Same here, but tell me first." Maya: "A tree my husband cut almost fell on me. When I thought that the babies and I would die, Bull was created in front of me and protected me! He remained unharmed, but it would not have happened that I was on his place.Can you believe it? He said he would appear in a dream and disappear as soon as he saw that my husband was coming. "Holly:" I was saved by the Goat. I'll call the others, this is very suspicious! "

 Marel fell from the terrace as she was cleaning the windows, but Zodiac Aries saved her from the injuries by the gentle and softened fleece. Rani almost drowned because her leg was clinging to the thick seaweed while she was diving, but Zodiac Cancer cut off grass with pliers.When the burglar wanted to enter the room where Loren's creations were,to be stolen and resold, Zodiac Leo warned Loren and she called the police. Zodiac Aquarius did similar thing when thief wanted to steal big amount of money from the company, he spilled water on person so others noticed intruder in the mass of people.

 Zodiac Virgo, a girl dressed in pink silk and with flowers on her hands, saved Julia when the shelf in the library fell right on her. Irina, our gothic girl, was shocked when her favorite animal, that is Zodiac Scorpio, saved her.

CHAPTER XII

 The common thing for these zodiac spectres was that they would appear in a dream and then they would get more information. You noticed that I left Florel, Elena and Eliza?

 Zodiac Libra, a large gold scale, said to Florel she could ask if she doubted some of the things and it would give her a solution. Elena and Eliza turned to talk to the Zodiacs Gemini, who were completely cute to them, and they moved a little from the sidewalk into which the truck was struck right after it, thus avoiding the injuries.

 While Holly's brother and sister were asleep, she rolled over the bed and tried to fall asleep to see the Capricorn. Turning to the other side she saw him above her bed. Holly: "You've come and I'm not asleep yet. Didn't you say that you will come to sleep?" Capricorn (nodded): "I knew you would not sleep. You were too upset that you could sleep. I want to take you to one place. This night will be magical, both for you and for others. Move on my back and hold tight for my horns. Do not worry about brother and sister, they will be fine. "

 Holly did it and then a beautiful blue dress appeared on her, with white sleeves on which were blue edges, with a soft black artificial fur. The dress had a mild linen, making it even more glamorous. On the head there was a glittering ribbon, hair was wavy,her eyes covered with a dark blue shade and her lips with a color of blackberry. From the jewelry there were long earrings, giving a full look.

Holly said: "The dress is beautiful! I've imagined the same one many years ago, but I did not believe I'd ever even see,let alone wear something so beautiful! "Capricorn:" Hurry, they will not wait for you all night! " Holly (surprised): "Wait? Who's waiting for me? Why I'm dressed like this, are we going to the ball?" Capricorn: "You'll see."

 They flied on clouds in an unknown direction, and then Holly began to discern the places: Maya's village, Hungary, Julia's house, Slovakia, Elena and Eliza's street, United Kingdom, Loren's villa, France, Marel's building, Greece, the castle in which Irina spends time, Romania, Anja's sea, Java Island, Rani's beach, Australia, Beli's desert, Egypt, Florel's School of Dance, Mexico, Tali's company, USA.

 Then, finally, the place where it all started. Place X, still unknown .They approached the place, which was illuminated as if someone was on it. She was surprised-there were her friends, all the remaining eleven signs dressed in beautiful dresses, with their zodiac next to them. At the end of the line, when the girls were apart, stood... Jan?! But, he did not come to argue with the ex-wife, rather to ask for forgivenes.

Chapter XIII

 Holly was surprised-Why is Jan here? She told him already it's over. Capricorn(whisper): "Go!" Holly started, greeting each one. At the end of the line, just after Irina and Florel, Jan stood with a bouquet of blue flowers.

 Jan: "Here,to match with your dress." Holly (furious): "I don't know what you doing here!" Jan (sad): "I can not live without you! I made a mistake, I confess. I do not know why I was such a fool when I really love you for what you are, and not because you can give birth to a child. I will love your brother and sister as much as you do, I will care for them as much as you do and I will give them everything they want. If not, you can take your dagger and kill me, I don't want to live without you. I went with you all over the world, why not spend life with you ?! "Holly (turning to the girls): "Do I believe him or is this a scam?" Florel: "Ask the scale and it will tell you the truth."

 The scale showed the truth and the lie. A few seconds later scale was overturned to the side of the truth. Jan smiled, trying to hide the tear that felt down his face. Holly was at first suspicious,then finally took the bouquet, approached her hand to Jan and asked: "And what is celebrated? You are all in beautiful dresses."

 Rani began speech: "This is the day we came here a years ago. Actually, it's a day when we realized that the world was not created only for us and similar as us, but for all people. If there was not you, and everyone else here, nobody would change for the better, would they?" The girls agreed, and then the zodiacs went to twelve rocks.

 "Where are you going, why are you leaving? "Marel asked, and the zodiacs said," It's time to leave.But, we do not leave without gifts. We will be in the rocks, but we will have contact through the diamonds that will appear on your neck when we leave. Therefore, be as good as you are and use your power for good purposes! "

 The Zodiac disappeared in the rocks and on the necks of all girls a diamond was created. They were in different colors: Marel's in white, Maya's light-blue, Elena and Eliza's green, Rani's yellow, Loren's orange, Julia 's dark-red, Florel's pink, Irina's black, Beli's red, Holly's dark blue, Tali's gray and Anja's turquoise.

 That night was a celebration and in the morning they were all back in their homes. Morning: Holly is still asleep, her brother and sister enter. The Holly's sister: "Good morning, sister!" Holly (sleepy): "Good morning... oh, I was just asleep, it does not look like me. "

While her brother was talking, her sister asked her where she got a necklace, to which Holly said: "It's ... from Jan! I'm tired because we talked last night and he said he'll be good to you." Holly's brother (smiling): "So, you are back together?" Holly: "Yes, I will see will he keep his word! (wink and hug brother and sister)"

 What happened to others? Here's a word, two about each: Maya gave birth to twins, who were named by Elena and Eliza after Marel and Florel,their friends, so that their names would rhyme. Speaking about Marel and Florel, our Libra married Manuel a year later, while Marel had several successful and less successful relationships until she married one athlete.

 Two water signs, Rani and Anja, were even more friends than before but, while Rani had a normal life in Australia, Anja helped sailors and saved many ships and even more lives to pay back for the people she killed during the time when she was under curse.

 Irina stayed in Romania for a while, and then she thought of going on a journey, wearing pastel colors. She was still Goth inside, she just wanted to experience something different. On the trip she met another Goth, who liked her even without her characteristic clothes and makeup.

 Tali married late and the job became a tedious duty for her, so she quit and enjoyed life as the real Aquarius. Loren adopted two other girls, taught them to become the real ladies, which they became thanks to her.

 Our warrior, Beli, continued to live in Egypt, only changed the style of warrior into the style of Cleopatra. It attracted the attention of many Egyptians, but no man won her heart. Julia was married to a older man and had no children , but she kept a quiet life.

 And Holly? She lived with her family: Jan, her sister and brother. She did not change her decision and had no children. The brother and sister grew into good people and Jan fulfilled his promise, so they did not argue.

 Well, dear readers, it's irrelevant whether you believe in astrology or not, I hope you accept all people as they are. Yes, some are talkative, others are silent, some are spreading optimism, others are cautious pessimists, some are modest, others like luxury, but we all share one thing - we are all people with feelings, virtues and flaws. Basically, we are all created to be different, but in the end we are always all the same. All of us ... we are just beings looking for their stars in our constellation, wandering around the universe in search of the spark of our life.

The End

DISCUSSION

 When the original was written it was my favorite story until then, with it's drama and Holly as a character. I'm no longer brave as Holly (I used to be more like her), but I tried to make her less daring and more as someone who defends what she cares about. The theme of these two stories is in fact the Holly's fight to protect her family in the first place, and then the friends who were there for her in trouble. Holly was originally from Hungary, but I had to change it because of the geographical features of that country, that is, the Capricorn represents a stone and associates on the mountain and Hungary is a plain. With all the regions in the world divided by zodiac signs Serbia is one of the countries in the sign of Capricorn and symbolism would be better if I put Holly here, but Moldova seemed to me a good choice, it also fits into the original. It can be noted that astrology is interesting to me, I read quite a lot of texts on this subject :).

 As for their necklaces, this could have been semi-precious stones, but it is not everywhere consistent which stone is for which sign (for example, Pishes usually have an amethyst, Capricorn onyx, Taurus pink quartz, Sagittarius turquoise ...). So I kept diamonds in different colors, as well as in the original. In the first stories I had princesses as characters, this is (along with the "Serbian story of Lena and Teodor") the beginning of introducing characters who are not from the royal line. For the power they get, the story is still in the genre of fantasy.

See you in the next story :)
