Heroes without Masks

Chapter 16

I couldn't believe my eyes, "Seth—?!" Lilia called over to him as he runs away, I knew something was off about him, but I didn't think he would be here, "SH*T!" he yelled as he disappears before my eyes, "Seth!" Lillia called for him as I follow behind him closer, "Yukii, Tucker some help please!" I yell as I fly past them, they looked over at us but Yukii must have seen Seth fade back in. "Seth!" Tucker noticed the distress in Yukii's voice, as we began to chase him through the school.

We stop in the hall and look around I couldn't see him until we hear a familiar voice, "Seth is that you?" Violet, had Seth cornered, "Seth why are you here?" Praise the LORD Ryan's dumb enough to keep a runaway captive by mistake. The girls surround him, "Seth!" the guy looked terrified, "Ah, I see my little spy has been found out." The principal walked over to us with Dr. Kellie and Mr. Stone-head dragging his feet not far behind. "Seth Evergreen has been a student spy since you were in middle school, we wanted someone to keep an eye on you girls and become a friend with you." Wait if Seth is a Hero League spy then who is the second creation?

Lilia was upset; her vines and flowers were growing through the stone flooring. "Now that he's been found out, I guess he'll return to the school, especially now that you are all being taught by Dr. Kellie." I watched the vines wrap around Seth's legs, Lilia glared daggers into Seth, as I feel a bitter betrayal rise in me. Yukii beat all of us to the punch, literally, she punched him, "That's what you get for lying, leading Lilia on, and pretending! You are no better than those corrupt people working in the Hero League." Lilia started to cry, "Look I understand that this looks bad, but I've been following the second creation and would like to help you in your investigation."

Seth said with every power in his body to prove he was brave enough, as Dr. Kellie comes over, "You wish to help? Then come forward sooner kid, we nearly labeled you the second creation. Your butt would have been sitting in a cell!" Seth looked surprised, "Wait, you thought I was the second creation?" He holds in a laugh, "We found some bots that match your micro-training-bots, from lasts year's contest. In fact; it was almost identical, which is why Heath's hormone is off the charts." Lilia said as she still has a face covered in bitter tears. Seth realizes his position suddenly, "Okay a bot I was working on: I was going to put on you six suddenly disappeared from my chest in the robots lab at school, the flea bot I was making was going to be put on you during the summer, so that we can keep an eye on you."

Lilia isn't the only one who was fuming with anger, "You should have, come, clean Seth, you put our lives on the line, and Dr. Riverside got his hands on the bots. Things are going just fine for him and his second creation, all because you kept secrets." I spat at him as the halls filled with crowding teens, "It wasn't my intention for my devices to wind up in their hands." I grit my teeth: this fool, "Can't you see he's trying to make more of us; those who carry our DNA the thing he keeps trying to create!" I must sound like a fool, Violet the cheerful one in our group was sizzling like bacon, you could tell she wanted to kill Seth.

Lilia grips her arm; "I'm leaving!" she turns towards the entrance and starts to take off, "I'll go with her," Yukii said as Vee nods, but continues to walk with her, I hated this, Seth was Lilia's first love and she loved him like a brother too, he betrayed her and only pretended to be her friend. "Heath, you boys return to the apartment and send my brother-in-law to pick me up, I'll stay and talk to Seth." Dr. Kellie handed me her keycard, as I nod taking one last death glare over to Seth.

I took off as we flew to the apartment where the girls were outside talking as Lilia had melted down in front of the door. "Cupcake—" I was cut off as Yukii held her hand out for the card, "Come on, you should go lie down." Lilia nodded but took my hand despite Yukii telling me no, "Babe, you seem calm, are you going to be okay?" Tucker grabbed her arm, "黙れ, this is too much, Seth betrayed us and mocked us, Tucker I'm done, I just want to go home, and I want to do nothing, but eat bad foods and watch Japanese dramas for a week." Tucker looked shocked, "We can do that, we can go to the lab and steal a room in the blue hall like Lilia and Heath." I turn to him, "We live in the 40th room so any other room please and lock the door, Dix and Shi like to visit in the night when they are scared." Lilia wiped more tears as Violet was ranting by Ryan, "Oh, Seth you— you stupid idiot!" Ryan was trying to calm down Violet.
