Artemis's POV

It's been two days and I still haven't got to another note from Logan.

I've been on edge lately.

The littlest things make jump.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I jumped and flung the bacon I was cooking, at the persons face.

"Ahh! Artemis what the hell!?" Xander screamed.

He dropped the bacon on the floor.  His face was red and greasy.

Midnights puppies came in and started gnawing on the bacon.

"Xander! You scared me!" I yelled.

"Yeah, I picked up on that." He ran his hands through his face.

"That's just a waste of bacon." I pointed to the puppies.

"What's up with you? You've been jumpy." He asked.

"Nothing. I'm fine."

"You're obviously not."

"Just drop it alright." I dropped the pan back on to the stove and ran upstairs.

I entered min and Blake's room. Blake had a meeting so he wasn't here.

I found another note sitting on the bed.

I picked it up and slowly opened it.

Good choice. You obeyed. Over the years I've known you,  I know you'd risk everything to keep your only family safe. I want you to meet me in the forest tonight at midnight. Don't try anything and come as Robin Hood.

~Logan

I have to go.

He's right. I would risk everything for them.

I put the letter back into the envelope and hid it in the corner of the of the closet with the others.

I heard a knock at the door. I flinched then shook off the feeling.

I opened the door revealing, Gina, Jamie, and Iesha.

"Hey what are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"We were thinking maybe we could have a girls day today." Jamie answered.

"Yeah sure. Where are we going?" I asked while stepping out of my room and closing the door.

"First we go out to eat then we go shopping." Iesh explains.

We entered Gina's car and drove off.

"Where should we go out to eat?" Asked Gina.

"Steak house." I answered.

"Sounds good." Jamie and Iesha agreed.

We drove all the way to a steak house.  We took a booth next to a window.

A waiter came to our table. We all ordered medium rare steaks with mash potatoes and gravy.

We all have the same taste in food.
