Titan Part I: The Fallen Hero

Sacrifice

Lyra's POV
That night I have a nightmare. I saw a tall muscular figure sitting on a throne. Beneath him were skulls and blood was everywhere. He looks at me with a threatening glare. He looks at his soldiers and points at me. His soldiers run towards me. I wake up, sweating. I hear men yelling and dogs barking. I run to Emily and Andrew's room. I knock down the door.

"Emily! Andrew! Wake up!"

"What is going on?"

"I need to leave."

Suddenly the children come into the room.

"Mommy why is going on?" Sarah asks

I look down at Sarah with a sad look on my face.

"Listen my child. I have to go."

"Are you coming back?"

I try to find the right words to use. I didn't want to make her cry.

"I don't know but you have given me a nice moment to enjoy."

I kiss Sarah on her forehead and hug the other children.

I head downstairs with Emily and Andrew. I look at my baby. Tears start falling from my eyes. I hand the baby to Emily.

"Please look after him."

I take a deep breath and run into the night towards the men who were chasing me before. I look back and see Emily and Andrew watching.

"Thank you for giving him a chance," I whisper.

I knock out one of the men with a punch and kick another one in his face. I turn my hand into a blade, stabs a man in his stomach and watches the blood pour out.

"Ugh, so that is what human blood looks like?"

I keep fighting them until she feels a jolt of electricity and falls to the ground. I black out.

Emily's POV
I could barely see what was going on but I could see a man standing over Lyra's body. Then I saw Lyra's body get dragged away.

"They took her away. What should we do honey?"

"We should move away."

"No! We will not let fear rule our lives. They probably won't find us."

Andrew thinks for a moment.

"Alright fine we will stay here."

Andrew glances at the baby.

"What should we name him?"

"I was thinking of naming him after my Dad James."
