《Keeping Lennox》Chapter Twenty
Advertisement
This is it. It is time.
I took a deep breath and walked into the room. Tori was right behind me. She smiled at me and nodded.
I went to my spot beside my lawyer, and she did the same. Her lawyer looked at her with a pained expression. He was probably upset that she gave up so easily. I didn't care. I was just ready to get it done, so I could be home with my family.
"I'd like to bring up the case of Lennox Bentley." The judge said, bringing all attention to him.
"Will the mother please stand up. We have a change of schedule due to the mother's request."
Tori stood. She still looked bad. I wish she would stop with the drugs already.
"My name is Victoria Ann Sheffield. When looking at my daughter, I knew I couldn't be her mother. She needed someone better. I am not here to fight Wade anymore. I am here," she looked back at her mother, "to sign over my rights to Wade and his girlfriend." When she finished, she sat down. Mrs. Pat began to cry. She had no idea.
"Well," the judge said. "With that being said, Miss Sheffield, will you please come up? Mr. Bentley, you too."
We both rose and walked to the judge. He looked to Tori and asked, "this is really what you want to do?"
He was holding the papers in his hands.
"Yes," Tori replied without hesitation. "I am only sixteen. I can't be a mother."
He held out the papers to her, and she signed her name. I then signed my name as a witness.
"Okay," the judge said when we finished. "I now declare that Lennox Madeline Bentley is in full custody of Wade Bentley."

I about cried. I looked out to the crowd. Mrs. Pat.
I turned back to the judge. "Your honor, what about the grandmother? She is Tori's mother."
"If you want her to have visitation, that is up to you. She is your child, and you make all the choices. Just be wise."
"Yes your honor. Thank you." I looked to Mrs. Pat, and she smiled back at me.
I walked back to my chair to gather my belongings.
The judge stood up and said, "court is dismissed."
Tori got up and walked out without looking back. How could she do that so easily?
I didn't care. I walked out and set out in search of Cassie and Lennox.
Cassie agreed to keep her out there, and I was so thankful for her.
I turned a corner, and there they were. My two favorite girls. Man, was I lucky.

"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
