Left Behind-The Kids: Escape To Masada Chapter 1
Lionel raced into the crowd and caught up with Sam as the boy fell to the ground and buried his face in his hands. Lionel note beside him and put a hand on the shoulder.
“Look!” a man behind them shouted. “He’s preparing the sacrifice!”
The holy men cried out, tearing their robes as Nicolae approached the huge pig. In the street, the animal had been slow and seemed drugged. Now it was thrashing around, squealing, and straining at the ropes. Two men struggled to hold it as Nicolae laughed. He jumped at the animal and slipped, the pig dodging him.
“Want to play?” Nicolae howled. then he leapt onto the pigs back, sending the animal to its knees. For the next few seconds the pig tried to knock Nicolae off, but it was no use. Finally, Carpathia plunged his knife into the animals throat.
Nicolae fell to the ground, a flood of blood soaking his clothes. The pig went wild, thrashing and pulling its handlers. As the blood flow slowed, the pig fell and Nicolae cupped his hands under its neck. Lionel had to look away.
The crying and wailing of the holy men reached a crescendo and one priest screamed, “He has thrown the animals blood on the altar!”
Lionel couldn’t watch the gory scene that followed, but he could hear Nicolae trying to butcher the animal. Lionel turned to Sam. “Come with us. We’re leaving soon.”
“I must stay with my people,” Sam whispered. “These men need to know that Jesus is the perfect sacrifice how will they know if someone doesn’t tell them?”
“I understand, but –”
More shots from the crowd stopped Lionel. He stood for a better view of the screen. Nicolae had given the order to take the pig away and bring in his image. The holy men went berserk.
