prompt: H; hero

Cal Vandeusen never was the brave knight in shining armor type. Give him a good book or a crossword puzzle and he could astound you; hand him a gun and it was a lucky guess if he pointed it the right way.
But love does amazing things, terror even more so. John Wakefield was chasing him, he could feel death closely behind, but still he thought:
Chloe must get away.
So he stood in front of the monster, shielding his princess, knowing it was his last stand. But, if it bought Chloe enough time to escape, it was worth it.
