Harper and Cooper were settled at the back seat of the car. Their sudden surge of power took a toll on their little bodies. I let them take some rest in the car while I tend to Titus. Despite being wounded myself, I still managed to settle everyone while waiting for the help to come.

I was sitting on the ground; Titus head was resting on my thighs. I keep on

checking on his pulse to make sure he's still breathing. Every second counts, and with every minute that passes, the chances of Titus getting through this are getting

slimmer

"Hold on. Titus..." I whispered in his car as I cradled him like a child, refusing to let him go. I was afraid that he would slip my fingers in a blink of an eye.

"Help is coming." I murmured, my voice trembling. "You just have to hold on a little longer, okay? Just a little longer..."

But as the seconds ticked by, his breathing grew fainter, his body heavier against mine.

I had never felt so helpless in my entire life.

A few more minutes later, a sound of rotor blades cut through the night, growing louder by the second. A gust of wind whipped through my hair as the helicopter descended, its powerful lights illuminating the bloodied battlefield around us. Relief flooded my chest as I clutched the phone to my ear, hearing Scott's voice on the other end. "We're here. Take care of His Majesty!" he ordered.

I exhaled shakily, my grip on Titus tightening as the doors of the chopper swung open and figures rushed toward us.

"Get into the helicopter, my lady!" Scott said. "The healers will get into you once they settle His Majesty."

A group of healers immediately surrounded Titus, their hands glowing with energy as they began their work. I watched as a mage stood over him, murmuring incantations under his breath. A faint golden glow surrounded Titus' body, sealing his worst wounds. His breathing, though still weak, started to steady.

But instead of getting into the helicopter like he ordered, I to my

children, who were sitting in the back seat.

I gently woke them up. Even though I wanted to carry them both so they could continue to recover their strength, my body is still in pain from the wound I got from the battle.

They slowly rubbed their eyes and looked around to see what's happening. But despite their confusion, they followed me to the helicopter without asking questions.

Once the healers and the mages were done doing some first aid on Titus, they immediately moved him to the helicopter.

As we lifted off the ground, I stared at the darkened landscape below us, my heart heavy with conflicting emotions.

This was my chance.

If I wanted to disappear with the kids, to bring them back to Robert and Gertrude before Titus regained his strength, I had

to act now.

But after everything that happened...

After seeing them shift-after witnessing the raw power inside them-I knew the truth.

I couldn't run anymore.
