Heroes without Masks

Chapter 9

I look at myself in the mirror, nothing much, all of Heath hickeys had faded due to our mutated bodies. I feel the pain still from earlier. I brush my hair and tie it up in a bun so I can sleep without it in my face, I was wearing a silky-smooth pink nightgown with black lace on the ends it has a matching robe that I carried out of the bathroom with. The lights in the lab were off, but the hall lights were dim. I walk back to room 40 and open the door the lights were off and the bed was remade. Did Heath go home or is he still in the shower?

I shrug it off and slid into the Queen-sized bed. I put myself on the right side which had the smallest space to get on and off the bed with; it was the closest to the wall. Heath and I would have to rearrange the room. The bed was quite comfortable, as I slowly fall into slumber. The next thing I know, my alarm is going off. I reach for my phone to hit the snooze button when I find it hard to turn. My mind slowly wakes up when I realize that Heath came to bed after I did. "Heath; turn off my alarm." I groan as I feel him move and silenced my phone. He returns his left arm to my waist as I realized it's my odd: 'I get up a three in the morning to study' alarm.

He groans; "Why did your phone go off at 2:59 am?" I snuggle closer to him, "In normal everyday school I would get up and prep myself by studying at this time and making notes for almost all of our classmates last year, it just so happens that that alarm is still there." He kisses my head when we heard the door open, I wanted to die! Who is coming in right now? I hear small feet; crap it is Dix.

She came over the larger/wider side of the bed; "Heath, Lilia; I had a bad dream." Heath groans as we both sit up in bed; "Okay; why not tell Dr. Kellie?" Heath asked her as she held a small worn dog plush in her hands; "I couldn't find Dr. Kellie and Dr. Icy, then I went to Dr. Staff, but he wouldn't wake up to my voice because he was snoring too loud, and Shi got mad when I woke him up." Heath looked exhausted; "Okay why don't you come and lay down with us; just for tonight though." Heath said just wanting to get back to sleep.

Dix crawled up on the bed, and got between us; I yawn; "Why not tell us about your nightmare?" I said hoping that would get her asleep. Heath turned his back to us to make more room, and hopefully to hide his boner. "Okay, I was playing with all of my siblings, all 16 of you guys. When I heard father laughing really loudly as he started to take everyone away, I couldn't find you guys, nor could I find Dr. Kellie." I groan, "Really?" she nodded and continued; "Then I was back in father's lab, where he was tossing away those apart of the 3rd creation. I mean he was putting their husk of a body in the trash; big brother was helping him as he was counting up to ten."

I could hear the fear in her voice, "When he got to me, he said; 'Too, bad you ten were rejects like the last three; only the first creation can give me what I want.' Then he pulled out a bottle with CN on it with 26.02 g/mol as well." That was too close or right on with Cyanide. I listen to her ramble on, now about how the dream twisted and became an odd kid's dream. She finally fell asleep, and I followed, I'm sure Heath passed out a while ago. A little later both Heath and my alarms go off about 6:30.

Heath and I both sit up and looked at each other, Dix is still sleeping in between us, when Dr. Kellie walks in. "Has Dix graced you two last night after another bad dream spell?" We nod and motion her to the bed and nodded. "Leave her she can sleep in a little bit today since we're doing blood test then we'll be sitting the classroom for the school's sake. I have breakfast ready if you'd like some now or sleep a little longer." Heath rubbed his face and groaned, "Do you have coffee?" I smile at him; "I'm sure they do." I remember what Dix said last night about not finding Dr. Kellie or Icy. "Last night; Dix said you and Icy were not in your respected rooms?" Dr. Kellie nodded, "I was taking Dr. Icy to the airport, her three-year-old daughter is ill, and needed to return home: to Florida. Her husband was shocked by how the fast the fever grew; they're at the hospital right now."
