Jason's POV
...I never wanted to go into the night and fight bad guys, but after what happened, I knew it was what I had to do.....
*4 years ago*
"WHAT THE HELL MARANDA!!" I hid in my room, I was only 11 and the time and my dad was drunk, again. He was always telling mom how he would change, and she tried to help, but He just got worse.
"WHAT IS THIS SHIT!" he started throwing things at her, I heard the shatters of glass and held my sister, Megean tighter, she was 16 and tall, and pretty, and strong willed. She never took shit from our father and begged mom to leave him.
This night, you could see she had had it, mom never said a word when dad was like this, it was hard to tell if she was hurt or not.
"Lucas, stay here, i'm going to get help."She was calm, but you could see the swirl of emotions in her eyes.
"No, please stay he-"She was out the window, leaving me alone, drowning in hateful screams.
I decided that if my sister was gonna try and stop my father, so would I.I grabbed my stuffed pegasus and walked down the hall, hiding under the table, I stopped, dread filled my heart.This drunken rant was worse than any other, because dad had brought out his gun, and pointed it at my mother...
Just then a flash a blue caught my eyes, CRASH, she burst through the window,Le Monarch was here to save us, the crime fighting girl of Silverstone City!
"Stop this, calm down ,you know this is wrong!"She jumped in front of my mother.
"Oh Shut UP!" He pulled the trigger, she didn't have time to move.le Monarch fell to the floor, My father had dropper the gun and ran, out the shattered window , mom had fainted and was lying on the floor. The sudden blue flash caused Le Monarch to de-transform, leaving my sister bleeding out in her place.
"Big Sis!"I crawled over to her gripping her hand, tears blurring my vision.
"Shh.. don't cry Little Lucas,"She stopped just layed there breathing heavy, sirens blared off in the distance"Here, I know you have lots of questions, but I need you to take this, and with it carry me on with you forever. Go hid in the room and say nothing of Le Monarch, that will blow my cover, I love you so much and I know you'll do even better than I have protecting the people of this city." She handed me a pendant, shaped like a butterfly, blue sapphire stones embedded in the wings, shimmering in the sliver lining of the piece.
I pinned it to my shirt and ran off to my room, crying , bawling as the cops and paramedics rushed in minutes later...
My dad was caught, my mother made it out with a concussion,and my sister , she bled out.
And in the disaster i stood by the ambulance, waiting to go with my mom when it hit me.
I was the new Le Monarch, and I was never going to let this happen again.
