He looked confused and started struggling. His eyes landed on me as he kept struggling.

Iesha tightened her hold on him. He groaned in pain.

I started to run towards him with my sword.

Everything went silent. Everybody on both sides froze and started at me.

Logan kept struggling.

Fear took her his face but he masked it.

I kept running until I was an inch away.

“This time I’ll make sure you stay dead!” I yelled.

A child’s laughter stopped me before the sword touched his chest.

We both snapped our heads in the direction of he laughter.

A little girl around the age of three emerged from the forest.

Logan smiled but then frowned. “Avery, I told you not to follow me.”

“Sorry daddy. I was just bored.” She pouted then smiled. “Daddy why do you have a ninja and a tree?”

“Daddy is just playing with some friends.” Logan replied.

I snapped my head in his direction. “You have a kid?”

“He’s not my actual daddy.” The little girl, Avery answered. “My mommy and daddy got stuck in our car and become stars in the sky. He found me and helped me.”

Logan smirked at me. “See Artemis. It’s fate that I stay alive.”

“I’ve told you many times before Logan. I don’t believe in fate I believe in choice.” I cut the tree that was holdin him. “And I choose to let you live. For Avery’s sake.”

“I’ll be back Robin Hood.” He took Avery’s hand and walked into he forest.

Someone grabbed my wrist and spun me around. I was faced with a confused Blake.

“Why did you let him go?” He asked.

“The little girl. Logan may be a villain but he’s great with kids. He won’t hurt or scare her.”

“What makes you think that?”

“I’ve known Logan for a long time. He won’t hurt her.” I assured.

“I respect your decision.” He brought his lips to mine. “The rogues have been killed we can go home now.”

I nodded as he took my hand and we started walking.

I looked around. Nobody on our side died but they were still very injured.

Blake held his other hand on his stomach. I slapped his hand away and saw blood on his shirt.

I lifted his shirt and saw a healed wound.

“You should have told me you were hurt.” I looked to at him.
