That did it. Those three words were all Edward needed to hear to confirm his suspicion. His heart started to race as he glanced back at the circus train, his mind telling him to flee. The people who tortured Aurora for her entire life were here, on Sodor, right next to him. Anyone who didn’t know Aurora, they would think that it's a normal circus that brings laughter to anyone. He bit his lip as he listened to Aurora’s muffled whimpers, her hands pressed tightly against her mouth as tears poured down her cheeks. Her trembling was easily noticeable to him as she pressed her body against his smokebox. He wanted to comfort her, to tell her that everything would be fine but it was too risky to even whisper to her. He needed to find Sir Topham Hatt. He knew he was in Vicarstown for he had a meeting with the Mayor of Sodor. He looked around worriedly for the Fat Controller, also being careful to not show suspicion to the circus crew. Soon, two almost identical whistles echoed in the

"So tell me again, WHY are they turning that into a house?" Aurora asked, laying on her stomach like a cat on Henry's running plate in front of his face with her arms stretched out in front of her. It has been a month since Aurora first arrived on Sodor, and was adopted by Henry and Edward. Since then, she has become friends with all of the steam engines and some of the diesels. Though she considers the entire Steam Team, Duck, Donald, Douglas, and Whiff as her brothers and sister. She was more calm being around them and not as jumpy. She no longer wore her hood around the engines, letting her ears and tail stay visible to them. Her hair was no longer matted and dirty, but now a beautiful bright blonde that seemed to glow in the sun's rays. The outer part of her ears matched her hair while the inside was as white as snow. Her tail seemed fluffier with the same golden blonde color while the tip of her tail was a stunning sapphire color. Her hair went down to her hips and seemed like a

Chapter 3 ~20 Minutes Earlier~ “Please hurry…” Henry said worriedly, waiting for his fire to build up. “Try to remain calm, Henry.” Sir Topham Hatt reassured him, worried also in his voice. “I’ll contact Ryan’s crew and tell them to stop.” “But what if she runs off?” Henry asked as he felt the water in his boiler heat up. “She’s already injured and might hurt herself even more.” “We’ll also be searching for her.” Dr. Forest said softly, gently patting his running plate. “We won’t stop until we find her, Henry.” STH nodded as he and Dr. Forest quickly got into his car. “We’re all ready!” Sam shouted as he and Dave got Henry to leave. Without waiting a minute, Henry puffed onto the turntable and reluctantly waited as it rotated him to the right track. “Hurry...hurry...hurry…” He muttered under his breath, not liking how he sounded like Gordon but he didn’t care. He just wanted to find the person he wanted to protect. When the turntable finally stopped, Henry didn’t

Beep...beep...beep...beep...beep Maria sighed softly as she lowered her scalpel knife onto the white tarp she sat on. It’s been at least three months since she started to work on repairing Edward’s face and he almost looked normal. The burns were still healing and still at a slight risk of infection, but isn’t as horrendous as the day he arrived at the Steamworks. The only bandages on him were over and around his right eye. The rest of his skin has healed but where a very light grey color instead of its normal grey. The right side of his lips were repaired and didn’t look like they were completely gone. Despite how bad his face was burned when he came in, his right eyebrow looked normal as well. The oxygen mask still rested over his nose and mouth, pumping oxygen into him as the sensors kept his heart rate in check. Rolling her neck, she hears a few cracks coming from her neck before looking at the set of tracks next to her. Fourteen brand new blue wheels with a silver trim were

AUTHOR'S NOTE: FINALLY! After months of working on this chapter, it's FINALLY FINISHED! I could've had it done months ago because of being quarantined thanks to COVID, but I've been busy doing live streams, painting, other stories that I've been putting on hold, working at my job throughout the summer doing construction work, AND starting online classes for the Fall As for chapter 4 of A Sacrifice For Those You Love, I will be finishing up that chapter soon for I want to get that chapter right and debating on the things I want to add. I apologize for the lack of updates but I was too busy doing other things that I couldn't do from being busy. Now then, Donald and Douglas appear in this chap ter and I never typed a Scottish accent before so I apologize if the accent isn't right and also apologizing for people who do speak with a Scottish accent. I love listening to a Scottish/Irish/Celtic accent and mean no disrespect to those who do. DISCLAIMER: Aurora, the engine's drivers and
