Chereads / The Golden Trident: Book 1 **BRIEFLY ON HOLD** / Chapter 38 - Kill Off The Titans

Chapter 38 - Kill Off The Titans

For the past eight months, Ava has been waking up with increasing stomach cramps, a bad temper, never-ending hunger, and more. She starts to regret having a baby at sixteen, but it was for the best. Plus, Athena is always there waiting to be scratched, which helps her relieve stress. Today, however, was very different. Her pain worsened, and as she groggily opened her eyes, her water broke. It felt uncomfortable as the water trickled out. She realized that she had to get to the hospital. "BLAKE! MOM! DAD! START THE CAR! NOT ALL AT ONCE!! MOM COME HERE!!" You could hear them running all throughout the house, crazily rushing. They knew what had happened. Ariel runs to Ava with a warm towel and a cold towel, and she attempts to carry Ava. They make it to the car, passing through all the lights. One thing they've noticed about Texas is that everyone drives like they are in a hurry. They now understand.

They have arrived at the hospital, cold towel on Ava's head and warm towel on Ava's belly. The doctors rush Ava into the labor room, her family toppling behind. Right now, only her parents are allowed in, so Blake sits in the second room. Ava is placed on the bed comfortably. "Before we start, you have to understand that since she is so young, her baby.. might not make it." Ava looks at her in fear and pain, "It's okay. If he doesn't make it, atleast I'll know I tried..." The doctor starts the procedure.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Little baby cooes are heard in the background. "Oh my god.. Mom, Dad, I did it." Ava holds Noah Oliver with delicacy. "I knew you could." Eric looks proudly. A knock is heard, and Blake is allowed in. "Aw is that my nephew?" "Yup! Adorable, isn't he." "Uh huh! Can I hold him?" "Ew never!!" "You're SO immature. Plus, I'm older!" "BY FOUR YEARS," Ava whisper screams. Noah falls asleep, and she gives the baby to the doctor to be swaddled and lotioned. "And you have to wait to hold him until im released and we are home."

Speaking of home, what they didn't know was that the whole time they were in the house, Katie, daughter of Eric's uncle, was watching them. She studied their every move, and even saw when Ava was able to control the lightning bolt. "She's the chosen one." Katie was sent for three things: Watch, Take the chosen one, and kill the chosen one. She has to follows her fathers last words: "Kill Off The Titans."
