Raising a Hero

She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident. But this isn't the end of her story. Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else. Suggested for ages 14+. Raising a Hero is created by T.S. Lowe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 231

It was perhaps the roughest waking up I'd done yet.

My eyelids felt as though they'd been left disconnected from the rest of my eyeball so they could dry in the air and every part of me moved like lead. I could feel a weight across my stomach and legs like someone had their own arm and leg over me.

My eyes did eventually open and my head listened well enough to moving, so I got the pleasant thrill of seeing Gus's sleeping face on the pillow next to mine. The bed we laid in had soft, white sheets and a fluffy, blue blanket. Sheer curtains covered my view from seeing much farther than the bed.

I bullied my heavy limbs into turning beneath the arm and leg Gus had flung over me. I tried to talk, but my throat was too dry to do more than rasp.

That rasp was enough to make Gus's silver eyelashes flutter.
