Hello everyone,
Again I hope whom ever reads this will update. The characters do not belong to me, they belong to the wonderful Ms. Estep. I have changed somethings in this story and so I hope that you like it.
Thanks,

Chapter 3
I woke up with a very bad headache and looked around. There were students on the ground everywhere I saw blood and then I saw Reapers in front of me. I sucked in my breath; they still hadn't noticed that I was awake yet. I heard murmurs of their conversation. Two people were arguing, one saying that this wasn't necessary since they already had a student inside to look for dagger. They other one then said that this is what Loki would have wanted to keep them from paying attention to that student. I had started to crawl to the staff beside me. Where was Logan and Oliver? That's when they noticed me.
"One of them is awake! Grab the Samurai Sword and make our first sacrifice to the master," one of the Reapers shouted. Another Reaper grabbed the sword and charged towards me. I pulled myself up grabbed the staff beside me and stood ready. I wasn't going to die without a fight.
The Reaper swung the sword. I parried and started fighting. The fight didn't last very long before I hit his head knocking him unconscious. That's when the rest of them came at me. I blocked and parried but after just being waking I wasn't very strong. They had me pinned to the ground and what I assumed was the leader of the Reapers, stabbed the Samurai Sword into my chest. A horrible scream rose from me. I could distantly hear the Reapers leaving thinking I would die.
I lay on that blood soaked mat for a long time before Logan came running in. My face was turned towards him so I could see the shock as he took in the scene. Then he saw me and raced towards me as fast as he could. He knelt beside my body and I looked up at him.
"Aza?" he asked hesitantly.
I looked up at him, "Do you see the," I coughed and blood came out, Logan tried to shush me but I had to tell him, "Reaper body beside me?" he nodded, "I knocked him in the head. He should still be alive."
Logan's eyes slid past mine and then looked at mine, "There is still time, we have to get you to Professor Metis, she's a healer."
"At least I hit a Reaper before I died." I smiled weakly before I coughed again. Logan was lying to himself; there wasn't enough time for me. I could feel my strength draining out of me. It was getting harder to breathe with each breath. Logan was saying I should go to Professor Metis right now. I shock my head. My eyes filled with tears, in the afterlife I was going to miss Logan and everyone else.
I remembered my favourite memory with him. It was when I was twelve and he was fourteen. That day I was sick in bed with the flu. Oliver and Kenzie where over since Logan lived with my family, they were going to go to the new amusement park. I was miserable and Morgan couldn't come over because she was in Greece. Logan came into the upstairs living room to wish me goodbye before he went to the park. I was watching my favourite Disney movies to make me feel better. Logan took one look at me and then went downstairs.
I watched him do this and became even grumpier. He wouldn't even tell me goodbye in case he caught the flu. I heard the front door open and close. Logan came back up and sat on the couch with me. I asked him why he hadn't gone to the amusement park.
"The amusement park will be there tomorrow and the day after. I can wait a little bit longer before going." Logan replied. He told his friends to go without him so he could spend a day with me. He ended up sick the day after and so we stayed together at home. I was so glad he was my cousin then.
I hope when I leave that I can still have that memory or become a guardian angel for him.
"Where is my father?" I asked Logan, struggling to say those simple words.
His face pinched up, "He went to chase the Reapers with me, but they sent me back earlier." His eyes were full of anguish. He turned at a sound and I looked towards it as well. Oliver and Coach Ajax were back and joking about how the Reapers all ran from them but Logan quickly dismissed them. A tear slipped down my cheek. I tried to think of something happy.
"Gwen?" I breathed weakly.
He nodded his head at me. That meant he had started to get close to her. I smiled. During this time Oliver had come around to us and knelt by me as well. My vision started to blur and my eyes fluttered to a close with the smile still on my face, but then I felt hands on my chest. Beautiful warmth touched me and I started to float. Breathing became easier but something tried to ground me into my body. I started to float down and fell into sleep.
