Heroes (a zodiac story)

Chapter one

Hair beautiful butterscotch colored hair flowed in the wind as she drove on her bike. She was heading to her best friend's house where they would meet up with their other best friend. The three of them were going to spend the day together and they were all pretty excited about it. They don't do many things together with the three of them, except for school then.

She was looking at the houses as she was heading down the road. She always loved this part of the city. It always gave her a warm and relaxed feeling when she came here. And almost everyone knows each other here, where in her neighborhood people just walk by each other. But it is often common in the cities. The little towns are a whole different story. Even if her city wasn't as big as some of the others. Especially the city's in America. This city wouldn't even be big enough for a neighborhood there. She rode into her friends street when....

"This is all your fault!"

"How can this all be my fault!?! You were the one who was holding the map for god damn sake!"

"You-"

She stopped listening to them. What were they doing here? Tourist don't really come here. But then again, they don't really look like tourists. Maybe they're just foreigners who are just passing by. But.....foreigners don't really come here either. There is only one small hotel here and it's almost every time occupied by Dutch people.

She got off her bike and decided to walk the rest of the way, which were only a few meters. She kept looking at the ground as she passed the two foreign guys arguing and another guy shaking his head at them. She isn't very comfortable around people she doesn't know, especially guys. And she really doesn't want to get involved in their little argument. When she passed the three she got on the sidewalk. She let out a small sign as they didn't notice her. Well, it was only for a short time.

"Hey, miss!"

So close!

She turned around as one of the guys approached her.

"Can you help us with something?"

"Um...y-yeah" She looked up at the boy because she was still looking at her shoes. Now she could finally see who called her. It was the guy who was shaking its head. Over his shoulder, she could still see the other two arguing. she looked back at the boy. He looked pretty handsome with his short black and olive skin. Mediterranean I think?

While she was slightly studying him, he stood there in shock. His sapphire eyes were staring at. What was standing in front of him was something he never thought he would see so soon. He was mesmerized by the beauty of it. He recovered from his shock as a small smirk formed on his lips. He was staring down into the chocolate eyes of the now red girl.

"W-why are you s-starring at me?" She asked the guy with her red face. She was already uncomfortable talking with him and now he staring at her? She really wanted to walk away right now, but that would be rude. Plus, they needed her help.

The boy got out of his trance. "Sorry, I was zooming out a bit." He said sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck. "But I wanted to ask you if know where the Bastion hotel is. We're a bit lost." He said pointing at the other two boys.

"I know where that is, yes." She said with a small voice.

"Great!" He grinned and walked away towards his friends. She quietly followed him.

"Hey, guys! I've found someone who can lead us the way." He waved at his friends and they looked our way. They both stared at her the same as their friend, which made her more uncomfortable again. But this gave her her the chance to see what the other two guys look like.

One guy had sandy blond hair with ocean blue eyes where you could just drown in. He also was the one holding the map. Next to him stands a guy with black cherry hair and beautiful onyx eyes. There were put out of their trance by the Mediterranean guy.

"So can you tell us where we are now on the map?"

"Y-yeah." She walked towards the map and began explaining.

On the other side of the street walks, for now, an unknown girl who softly hums her favorite song. She is really excited right now because she hasn't seen her friends for a few weeks now. She smiles at herself as she looks at the group who stands at the end of the street. What are th- wait. Is that.......Lotus? With BOYS!?!? What is this...

She walks to her best friends' house with a confused look on her pretty face as she rings the bell. After a little time, the door opens and reveals a beautiful girl around her height. She has chestnut colored hair that reaches her collarbone and honey brown eyes.

"Lyra!" She embraces her best friend in a hug.

Lyra looked back at the group weirdly. "Yo, wat zijn ze aan het doen? Zijn ze iets aan het plannen waar wij niks van mogen weten? Vormen ze een geheime groep zonder ons?"

(Translation: Yo, what are they doing. Are they planning something where we may know nothing of? Did they form a secret group without us?)

"Ly, calm down! Er zijn vast aliens die ze hebben omgekocht met muffins, maar we krijgen ze wel terug."

(Translation: There were probably aliens who bribed them with muffins, but we'll get them back.)

"Ik wil een muffin." Lyra said while looking back at the group who were now walking towards them. Lotus slightly faster than the boys. "Omg gaan ze ons nu ook omkopen met mu--ik zie geen muffins. Wat zijn ze van plan?"

(Translation: I want a muffin.
Omg are they going to bribe us with muffins t--I don't see muffins. What are they planning?)

Lotus walks up to them and stands beside her two best friends.

"Hey Lotus, wie zijn je nieuwe vrienden?" Lyra asked her friend. She looked beautiful with her light brown skin and curly espresso hair which complemented her hazel eyes.

(Translation: Hey Lotus, who are your new friends?)

"Well, they are....." She looked puzzled because she never asked their names.

"What was she saying?" The sandy blond boy whispers to his friends.

"I have no idea." The boy with the onyx boy said. The three get on whispering to each other without really looking at Lotus' her friends.

"Hellllooooo. Stel je ze nou nog voor of wat?" The chestnut haired girl waved her hand in front of Lotus.

(Translation: Hellllooooo. Are you going to introduce them or what?)

"Uh yeah." She was put out of her trance by her best friend.

"They are foreigners and they were lost so I had to lead them the way. But I didn't ask their names, so I can't really introduce them to you."

"That's why you were speaking English," Lyra said.

"Yup. Um, guys?" Lotus asked as she looked at the three males.

"Yes." The three of them said at the same time.

The guys now looked at the two new girls and their eyes widened in shock.

"These ar-" Lotus was cut off by the guys.

"Holy." The Mediterranean guy said slowly.

"Crap." The guy with the sandy hair finished him.

"We've just hit the jackpot." The dark cherry haired guy said as they all stared in awe at the girls.
