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 87

Lucas stared at him, face already paling as more blood streamed down from his wrist.

My head felt a little light. I didn't know so much blood could come out of someone's arm. It was kind of funny to think it would affect me this much. It wasn't like I hadn't had to deal with blood before. I worked as a healer now. But gal, I never had to deal with THAT much blood. And it really did gush, like a hose. Oh brother, this guy was going to die.

And I was running out, skirts clutched into my hands.

But no sooner did I get even close then Roman stopped me with an outstretched arm, the same one that had been cut.

"Yield and I let her heal you. Or would you rather watch your time as a swordsman end?"

Lucas's eyes had fallen on me. This close I could smell all the blood, and if it weren't for the adrenaline and need for action, I suspected I might have had to drop to put my head between my legs.
