Chereads / Heroes Without Masks / Chapter 4 - Chapter 3

Chapter 4 - Chapter 3

Heath just left leaving me shaking on the inside. His words were settled nicely in my head, that they echoed, "No way: he made my heart flutter like that." I said as I look in the mirror and imagen his arms around me.

I throw my pillow across the room. I don't even think I've felt this way for Seth! I open my journal to the day I found out I started having feelings for Seth, 'Today I saw Seth sitting in the library alone, he's reading my favorite book I felt my heart leap when he looked up and smiled at me.'

I turn to today's page, 'Today my heart nearly jumped out of my chest as butterflies flew in my stomach, ever since Heath came to the school he's been acting like a boyfriend when I have told him, no, but today he really showed his caring side and I nearly leaped on him. I think my heart and mind are on the wrong path... I hope this was a one-time thing.'

I close the book and put it back on the shelf. I sit there and blush at his words again. I rush downstairs in time for Mrs. White to finish her cup of coffee. "Morning!" I yell and run out the door, "I'm going to Yukii's for a bit I'll call you in an hour!" she waved me off as I run down the hill then take off knowing she wouldn't notice if I did this.

Once to Yukii's house, she popped the screen off for me as I slide in and tell her what happened when we all got home. "Wait you mean to tell me, that Heath not only snuck into your room, but you think his odd form of protective side, turned you on? Well, that's a first." I threw a shoe at Yukii, "No, I think I have feelings for Heath." I said as she squints, "You can't just suddenly have feelings like that; this is the sign of lust...which usually turns into love. So, yeah be ready for that roller-coaster because you are not getting off it well until he does something dumb." I flop on my back, "No way, you know that I'm 'Miss Stone-heart' in class. I have never felt this before and I want it to go away!" Yukii calms me down as Vee pops in out of nowhere, "It sounds like you have it hard and when people have it this hard, it turns into true love!"

I was done for, Vee pats me on the back; "Well at least you know one thing." I look at her, "You finally found someone to keep you in line." I glare over at her, "Vee if you're not here to help me then leave." She giggled, "I guess planning the wedding is still too early, but it's not too early to set up a dinner date with him, you might even get lucky and lose your card."

Yukii and I both throw pillows at her, "I don't want to lose my card to a hood-rat like that!" Vee giggled, "You can't stop love, and once you've been bitten, by the love bug you'll be trapped in its grasp for the rest of your life." I started throwing pillows at Vee again when my phone went off, I pick it up and read it from an unknown number, 'Hey; I just wanted you to know that I found your number, and I'm sorry about what I did back there.' I read it again and it clicked, Heath had my number: how did he get this, my heart started to beat loudly.

I type back, 'No problem about earlier, but how did you find my number?' I asked him as he is shown typing for like ten minutes; finally, he responds with Dr. Kellie gave it to him for emergencies. The thing is Dr. Kellie doesn't even know my number. I type back, 'Sure she did, but I am busy now so the texting will need to stop.' Personally, my heart can't take it anymore.

Vee started to throw the pillows back at us. I get hit by one as Subaru: Yukii's eldest brother walks in, "If you three are going to talk, do it, quitter, please, I was up late doing homework for my college courses." Vee winded up hitting him with a pillow by mistake when she was aiming for Yukii. Vee placed the pillows down as Subaru walked in and looked at all three of us. He grabbed pillows and pretty much destroyed us. "Now then if you; kids are finished, I am going back to bed." We nod and put all the pillows back on the bed.

Yukii's mother walks in; "Girls...you are so loud; Oto-san is very upset and wants to see you three in the dojo." Yukii groans, "Mom, please help us out." She glared at Yukii and proceeded to tell her off in Japanese. We all go down to the gym where we sit on our knees for thirty minutes then we are told to clean the 'dojo'. I look at Vee, "Thanks Vee, if you weren't so loud we would still be in Yukii's room." Yukii's other older brother came down, "I heard you three were too loud this morning." He comes over and pesters Yukii, "Sora if you're going to bug us; ask dad if he can check if we did well enough." Sora rolled his eyes, "Fine, but if not, I'm coming back to tell you where all the dirty stops are."

Sora left and we smile at Yukii, "Sora seems to be the only one who doesn't care that we were loud." Vee said as Yukii sits on the mats, "Yeah well he sleeps most of the day anyways so getting up early means more time to pester us." I watch Yukii as I come to sit next to her. Her father walks in, "Ah, very good...you can eat breakfast now." He leads us back up to the house part of the building as Vee and I eat a typical Japanese breakfast, with fish, rice, and egg.

We've eaten this before from many sleepovers as kids. Yukii's grandmother sits down next to us. "Girls; need time to talk, but young ladies need to sleep." Meaning she wasn't as upset that we were up talking, but more upset we were up early talking. "Obā-san we are sorry to wake you," Yukii said as I look down at the table. All three of us apologize in Japanese to her as she smiles, "You girls have already been punished, so this time I will allow you to learn from the mistakes you've made."

When breakfast was finished we helped Yukii and her mother clean up, while Yukii's father and brothers go to the dojo to practice and open the doors for their classes. When we finish Riku came in and begs for his food. The small black cat is picked up by Yukii's mother and smothered. We smile at her as we have tea with Obāsan. "Well, she should leave now," Yukii said as we nod, know that both Yukii's mother and grandmother would like to watch their Japanese dramas.

We leave only to head over to Vee's family bakery. Where her father overwhelmed us with fresh muffins. "Eat, you girls must be famished!" we laugh and take the mini ones so we don't overeat. I sit down at the table when I finally call Mrs. White and tell her that I would be back later in the day. As we enjoy the environment of Vee's family bakery, Penelope walks into the build and storms over to me, "Hey Lilia," I look at her oddly, "Yes?" She pointed her finger at me, "Keep that boyfriend of yours away from me! I have never been treated like that ever in my life!" She kept yelling and winded up getting kicked out for the rest of the year.

I was confused though who would have done anything to Penelope? "I wonder if Seth got attacked by Penelope and he defended you!" Vee said in a squeal, I wondered that too...but something inside said it wasn't really him. I whip out my phone and text Heath, 'What did you do to Penelope?' he types back pretty fast, 'Penelope tried to get dirt on you to ruin your chance at becoming class president, so I told her bluntly that I would never tell her anything and that I would destroy her if she destroyed you.' I groan he's not going to leave me alone, is he? After we visited with Vee's parents we walk out as I notice that the nicer apartments finally had some new tenants.

Yukii noticed too, "Seems like whoever lives there has it really nice don't you think?" I roll my eyes, "Coming from us; our parents have their own companies and one day I'll even own the multimillion-dollar franchise or the Riverside Toy store." I scoffed at Yukii as Vee looks up when the door opens in a hurry, "I can't believe you broke the consul controller!" Oh my; gosh, that was Heath's voice. Heath and his friends notice us and wave. "Hey, you girls wanna come with us to store?" I sigh, "Why!" Heath jumps down from the railing, "It seems fun doesn't it; a pre-date before the date."

Either way, we winded up going with them as they talked to the guy at the counter, while Yukii, Vee, and I looked at all the cheap movies they had. I looked over and saw Seth pull up in his car. I duck as Vee noticed him coming in as well. "Why are you hiding from him when you're feelings have wavered?" I pull her down with Yukii, "We have a dinner date tonight and I was hoping to find a movie for us to enjoy." The girls nod, "Right with Heath it was a one-time thing, but Seth has always been the one." Yukii nods as Vee pouts, Seth noticed me, "Lilia! I didn't know you liked horror movies." I look around me and noticed we were at the beginning of the horror movie section.

I opened my mouth, "Well..." Seth picks up one and smiles, "Are we watching one tonight?" I open my mouth again, "I mean we can..." Heath comes back over, "She's not having dinner with you tonight; well not alone. Let's have a movie night, you girls pick all the scary movies and comedies you want, and the boys and I will pay for the pizza. Seth if you still want in then why don't you bring the soda, by twenty bottles." I glare up at him as Vee squealed, "Yay! Are we having it at Lilia's house? Her family has the best den for the occasion!" I shoot daggers back at Vee. Yukii is stacking up on all the horror movies she knew I didn't have.

Seth smiled, "Yeah no problem, I figured someone would stop me if Lilia didn't." I blush as he winks at me. I go over to Yukii and help her as Vee grabs more movies for us. We walk over to the counter and start checking them out.

**

I turn to Seth who watched her walk over to the counter. "Eye off, she's mine you stick." Seth looked at me as Ryan and Tucker chuckle, "You don't have a place to talk yet Heath she's not with you yet." Ryan said as Seth turned to face me, "Maybe I should call up some girl in our class, seeing as you don't have a date tonight Heath." Seth smirked knowing that Lilia was his original date tonight." I wanted to punch him in the face, but something caught me off guard. His eyes...they were glowing sliver, I almost didn't notice it.

Tucker and Ryan noticed as well. "Hey Seth, where do you live?" Seth is glaring at me now, "I mean the girls will most likely stay the night and we live with each other, with a caregiver who doesn't care how long we're out, but I'm sure your mommy doesn't want you at some young woman's house at the late hours of the night since her little boy will get scared over a minute of the first movie." Seth finally showed me his true self, "I live with my father, but he doesn't really care, plus I know for a fact that I can get in her pants faster than you can." He sneered at me as the guys hold me back.

I open my mouth to give him a few choice words, when Lilia returned, "What time are we meeting? I need to tell Mrs. White not to worry over dinner and that she can stay at home." I slide my hand around her waist as I look down at her with soft eyes, "We can start as soon as we leave if you want." Something happened that surprised both of us; she blushed at me and tried to hide it. I decide to tease her, "What's wrong lovely are you excited?" she pulled out fast, and cleared her throat. "We'll start in an hour when you come to the front of the house knock and tell Tilly that you're here for the movie night." The guys nod as I watch her walk out with her friends.

I felt my friend move more in my pants as I wanted to eat her so bad her butt really turned me on quickly. Seth noticed, and scowled, "She's liked me longer, and I'm sure your big city ways won't stop me from getting what I want." I rolled my eyes as I turn to the guys, "We should leave, and grab our favorite movie as well, I'm sure Violate and Lilia will be over us, I doubt that Yukii will flinch unless she has some Japanese horror up her sleeve." Tucker frowned, "I'm sure nothing would scare her, I'm sure the only thing that would scare her would be the fact that her parents will die one day."

I look back over and notice Seth was buying a documentary. I rolled my eyes as he pointed to me, "I hope you enjoy the sleeping alone tonight." A fire burned in me, I followed him out of the building and slammed him against his car, "Look here; no one is sleeping with each other tonight, sex isn't something to play around with when we've only just begun our lives." Seth laughs, "Then man-made condoms and the world was at peace!" I punch him in the face as the guys pull me away. "Calm down man! We're all going to be there and we will not be leaving the room unless it's to the bathroom." Tucker said snapping me out of it.

I fix my shirt and look at Seth's blacked eye, "That's a warning, the moment you touch Lilia you're going to be as fresh as roadkill." The boys and I go to our apartment and set up our new controller and then grab our bags in case we do; sleepover. We snuck around the back of our apartment and started to fly over to her house. We landed in front of her house as we rang the doorbell a cute grandma of a maid opened the door, "Oh you must be some of the guests for the movie night. I smile at her with a nod as the woman pinches our cheeks and left us in. The older man walks up to us as he grabs the maids butt and kissed her, "This is my husband we've been working here for thirty years and haven't ever thought about leaving once." The man wore a suit and smiled at us in pure bliss.

Yukii and Violate come around the corner and yell up the grand stairs that taunt me, "Lilia come on everyone just arrived!" she rushed down in simpler clothes, normal tank-top, and sweats. My heart race I want us to grow up fast. She looked at us, "Hey, welcome to my family home in which would belong to my late father, but my grandparents have it until I take over which will be my retirement plan." We nod as she leads us deeper into her house. Finally, she opened a door where it was the size of our apartment and has a large sectional, beanbag chairs, three tables with sweets and all twenty sodas, a place for the pizza, and eight stacks of red sole cups.

Seth was already sitting on a beanbag chair, looking at his phone still sporting off his nice new shiner. I whip out my phone and order fifteen types of pizza; I pay online, and tell Lilia's maid and butler that there would be a larger amount of pizza coming and to come to get one of us when it arrives. Yukii walks over to the wall, "Vee I'm going to do your favorite part now!" Vee practically flew over to her, "No way let me open the wall!" they fought as Lilia sighed, she pushed her hand on the wall and a hand scanner comes out and it glows green.

Before my eyes, there is a larger screen t.v. before me, I was shocked. Yukii puts the first disk in as Vee dims, the lights we spread out, and let the horror begin.

**

I'm stuck between Heath and Seth. As the movie starts, they both have their hands near mine, as I scream in my head. First off Heath has the words and actions of a smooth talker, but Seth has the brains for it. Seth moved up when we started the move as Yukii sat in her favorite beanbag, with a cookie, Tucker sat next to her, Vee had her blanket in her lap and a pillow to hide in, and lastly, Ryan sat above her on the couch as he eyed her softly.

About twenty minutes in the scenes were getting more and more intense. I hate horror. The woman on the screen shrieked as Vee followed jumping up and Ryan being her shield. Yukii was unfazed of course. The music and another scream caught me off guard, I jumped and grabbed the first thing or person I could. When the movie ended, Yukii brightened the lights to change the movie, it was only then when I realized I grabbed on to Heath, he was smiling down at me as he winked, "Scary wasn't it sweetness?" I blush and let go in time for the pizza to arrive. Heath went to go help carry it as the three of us girls sit in the room as Vee whined about watching a comedy.

The guys returned with all our pizza, I was confused why we would need so much but then I remembered, Yukii could eat an inter pizza herself let alone three guys that burn calories through fighting crime...or just fighting. Then again Seth told me he ran into a pole but something says he was fighting as well. I tried not to watch the screen as the menu screen screamed at us by some demon or ghost. We all went after the pizza when Yukii dimmed the lights. The movie played as I lost my appetite; of course, I watched the four other creations eat through one box of their own.

By the time we went through the eight horror movies, it was midnight and we had one left, I was the one to put it in this time as Heath went into the bathroom. Seth smiled as we waited for Heath to return Vee cuddled into Ryan as I could tell they were moving up the relationship latter fast. Suddenly, a hand wraps around my waist and pulls me into Seth; "If you want to sleep then rest here." My heart fluttered a little until the bathroom door opened, Heath walked in and all my feels were gone, "Alright push the button!" Yukii said as Tucker wooed, for the next horror film.

I push play as Seth's phone lights he leans in and whispers in my ear that he needed to leave his father didn't want him out this late up. I nod as he walks out and I casually lean on Heath as he moves his arm around my shoulder. It's so odd, I feel like I have a small school girl on Seth and a young woman's crush on Heath...I think my, feelings are wavering due to the powers the reside in us. Almost like I'm drawn to him.

Halfway through the movie we stopped to take a pulse test, it was really intense. Vee took everyone to the open bathrooms as Yukii and I took the sectional and turned it into a bed, something says that no one would be returning home tonight and we might as well set it up for it. The guys return as Yukii finished changing her clothes Vee did in one of the other bathrooms. The guys just threw off their shoes and shirts, they seemed shocked at the bed's size.

The couch could fit twenty comfortably and sleep fifteen teens/adults comfortably. I grab some pillows and more blankets as the other helps clean up the food. When I return I am in full view of Heath's muscles; they were dripping in masculinity and really hot too. My mouth was watering as I try to ignore it, but it doesn't help the fact that there is an obvious attraction to allow us. Ryan was much smaller, but Vee's type and she wore a stylish nightgown. Tucker was slim but you could tell he boxed do to his larger muscle capacity; whereas; Yukii who didn't give an utter living crap about being a girl wore a sports-bra to bed and one of her brother's old shorts that were huge on her.

I try not to look again, but Heath had the build I liked the most and I never noticed it because my eyes were always on Seth's brain rather than his ability of protection. Normally I wouldn't care about body types, but I am different and had different needs due to us needing to be in fights with creation 2 and 3. I climb into the bed as everyone grabs a few pillows and one blanket for themselves. We return to the last movie where I fall asleep watching. I start to dream, and I feel different...

I'm sitting in a dark room a man walks in and he laughs maniacally, 'My little, little niece, if only they hadn't found me out, or you would be much more powerful" he walked around me as I try to move. "But that won't matter since my first creation wasn't taught well enough then their own creations will be my well-developed inbred creation. All you have to do is raise the little one and be its mother and teach them how to use their powers. I'm sure that won't be hard, but it seems that all parties aren't really into the more adult version of this relationship. That must be due to all of your strong sense of justice no matter I will take matters into my own hands.'

The lights flip on and I find all six of us strapped to the chairs as machines are flipped on, I try to wiggle out, and everyone is asleep, why? Why aren't we trying to get away? I can't open my mouth, my uncle smiles as he pushes a button as a pink subtends is loaded into three injections. The first one was brought to me; the machine sets it on the table my uncle was out of sight when the tables next to Yukii and Vee had one for themselves the machine turned off.

My uncle appears again in a doctor's uniform. 'We'll do you first my cute little niece since you are the leader.' I try to wiggle out of the chair as it leans me back; my uncle had someone held down my legs as he reties them to the wider more open position. He cuts my pants off then my underwear. 'Now this will only pinch for a moment.'

I shot up in bed and notice the lights were still dim, the t.v. was turned off as everyone had fallen asleep; Heath was next to me but faced a different direction. I had my back on Yukii who was talking in her sleep, in Japanese of course. I climb out of the bed and grab my phone; it was only 3:15 in the morning. I can't sleep it felt so real, that nightmare did.

I walk in the kitchen and make me a cup of tea, and dig around for my special cookies. I normally have to hide them from everyone since everyone likes them. I open the freezer and find my Korean peach sesame seed cookies. I heat up the water and my cookie. I finally have my both finished as the back tea settled as I add a couple of spoon full of sugar into the cup. I sit down when I notice someone coming in. It was Heath he looked at me worried, "Hey, sweetness why'd you get up?" I look down into the mug and sigh.

I look him in the eyes, "I had a nightmare alright, I normally don't have them this bad...but this one was so real." He sits next to me at the table. "Do you want to talk about it?" I just shake my head, he nods as I tear my beloved cookie in half and give him one. "It must have been bad to get you out of bed like that." I look at him, "Sorry if I woke you up." He smiles, "I thought I woke you, since you, I just relayed back down from going to the bathroom." I sip the tea as we talk.

At first, he was really annoying, but you can tell he cares more than others do. Something inside me surges as he smiles a cute smile. I place my hand on him as he starts to lace our figures together. I blush as he begins to talk, "You know I thought you were a stone-hearted woman." I roll my eyes, "Well I thought you were a dead beat drop out." We laugh and return to the room and sleep.
