Must Read: HERO (A Violence, Mind Control And sex Story) - Season 2 - Episode 1

Horrific events fill my dreams. Explosions here and there, death, and cries for help haunt me, as I roll and turn, trying to escape from the horrors filling my sleep.

Over and over again I watch as death claims
another life, and another, and another. This is even worse than the killings in the north eastern part of Nigeria.

The worst part is that it’s the demons dying that I’m dreaming about. I have killed for the first time in my life, and no matter the fact that it had been
them or me; my conscience won’t let me rest.

I watch again and again as one of the small muscled red creatures gets sU-Cked out of their airlock and floats through space. When it had
actually happened, it had been completely quiet, but my mind adds sounds now, as the creature screams its last. It sees me looking at it, and
somehow swims through the nothingness of
space towards me, its dead eyes locked on
where I float. My body is locked, unable to move or try to get away. Cold, lifeless hands grip me,
and start shaking me violently; trying to take from me the life I’d stolen from it. Lifeless eyes look
into mine, and try to sU-Ck away my soul.
“Wake up!” The creature cries at me, the voice oddly familiar and higher pitched than I would’ve expected from a creature like this. “He won’t wake
up.”
Only I am awake. . . Aren’t I? I open my eyes to see everyone standing over me; worry creasing
their brows, and fear filling three sets of eyes. Loveth has me by the shoulders, and is still shaking me.
“I’m awake,” I grumble, my head throbbing.
“We’ve been trying to wake you for a bit,” Alice looks at me worriedly. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah,” I try to reassure her, but I have to stay quiet, as my head is throbbing too much to speak too loudly, “I was just having nightmares,
and my head hurts.”
“Nightmares?” Alice’s worry seems to increase markedly. “About last—” she cuts herself off,
looking around at everybody else, and I realize what she’d been about to ask. She’s worried I’m
having nightmares about making love to her last night.
“No, just monsters, and stuff,” I mumble,
wanting to roll over, but not daring to go back to sleep, no matter how tired I feel. The monsters I
dreamt about was me, and I don’t want to face that again.
“Oh, okay,” Alice says, sounding somewhat
relieved.
“I got a call from the hospital,” Tina’s mom says, talking for the first time, “I have to go back,” Nancy
replaces Loveth on the bed, and feels my head and cheeks. “You don’t feel like you have a fever, but I don’t trust you’re well enough to drive,
especially not in this weather.”
I turn and look out the window, but all I can see is white. It takes me a moment to realize that that
is ALL there is to see.
“I can drive,” I tell her, knowing that if her job has called her in, then the hospital must be in need of her. I try to sit up, and throw off my covers, but
she places her hand on my chest, and shoves me back down. I’m so weak, that I can’t even
fight her, and oh, how my head throbs.
“You’re staying in bed,” Alice says. “I can drive them up, and come back down. Your sister can stay and take care of you until I get back.”

I nod, knowing that I don’t have the strength to argue. They leave me to get some more rest, but
sleep is the last thing I want right now.

Tina comes in to give me a kiss, and tell me she is going to go with her mom. Nancy and Alice come in at the same time to say goodbye, and I
can tell that mom wants to talk to me, probably
about last night, but doesn’t dare say anything with Nancy there, so she kisses my brow, and
tells me to get feeling better.

I barely hear them leave through the falling snow,
before Loveth walks in, with what I think is hot tea. It is, but it’s also spiked with coffee.
“You probably don’t want to go to sleep right now. I know how I get after I’ve had bad dreams, and I figure this will help keep you warm
too,” Loveth tells me, when I look at her
questioningly after my first sip.
“Thanks,” I tell her, feeling truly grateful.
“Hey, I know you’re into some geeky stuff, so this might interest you.” I look to her, smiling.

Anything geek related right now would be a nice distraction. “Apparently some sort of satellite fell out of orbit, and blew up in the sky last night. The
government hasn’t said which one yet. Isn’t that cool?” I know she is just trying to cheer me up,
but I also know that had been no satellite. It had been full of little alien creatures that I have killed.
Lives snuffed out by my hand. Or mind, I guess.

For the first time, I curse my ability.

I groan, and roll over, setting my drink on the nightstand. I feel the bed shift, as Loveth lies down next to me, and puts her arm around me.
