The only sounds that can be heard are my footsteps and the muffled screams from a local schoolboy"Welcome to my home Matt" my voice comes out deep and menacing "Where the hell am I...do you know who I am" he yells pulling at his restraints "Oh, I know very well who you are.

You got adopted by the Mayor at the age of 13 and now you are a macho man at Lombardi High am I right" I grab a chair and sit underneath the light right in front of him. His face falls into pure horror when he sees me and I grin"Oh what ...cat's got your tongue""W- what d-do y-you want" he stutters out in fear"Nothing really I just need you to leave Amari alo-" "Done" he yells cutting me off. I grab his shoulder firmly and I bring my mouth close to his ear"Never ever cut me off or I swear it will be the last

Shadow Chapter 13: What happened last night
Shadow POV: I got a call from Daniel that Amari went to that party after I specifically told her not to. Speeding to this boy Jonathan's house I grip onto the steering wheel my knuckles turning white from the amount of pressure I'm putting. Stepping on the accelerator I'm pretty sure I'm going over the speed limit but it's nothing money can't fixPulling up to the address I practically jumped out of the car not caring where I parked. Teenage girls start eyeing me but I am only here for one girl. Going toward the backyard I see the fucker leading Amari up the staircase"Are you like the police?" some big kid says and I completely lose my patience pulling out my gun I aim it at him"Whoaa uhm dude chill like I don't want no trouble" he starts backing away in fear. I guess I look out of place"Shit, your literally so hot" looking down at the girl who said that. I come face to face with a blond who happens to be Amari's friend Bella. And she's quite drunk"Nice to meet you, I'm Shadow"

Hanging up the phone I bite back a sob as I lay back downShadow hasn't been answering my calls since rescuing me from Jonathan’s. I can feel a piece of my heart chip away every time I get sent to his voicemail. I honestly don't understand why his ignoring meI just want to hear his voiceTo see him ... is that too much to ask. I feel like screaming and then crying all over again "Amari come out it's time for dinner" my mom spoke from behind my bedroom door"I'm not hungry," I say and she sighs“Amari you need to eat something I’m worried about you” she tries reasoning with me “I’m not hungry” I mumble grabbing a pillow to cry on “I know
Shadow Chapter 15: Not again
Daniel POV: Walking into the facility with a bouquet of flowers I head straight toward the receptionist"Hi I'm here to visit Amari Carmichael," I say looking at the old lady with chapped lips"She's not taking any visitors at the moment," she says not paying any attention to me. Instead she's focused on whatever she’s knitting"Can you please tell her it's Daniel ...Daniel Peters" I say and the lady raises her head slightly. Rolling her eyes she picks up the phone in front of her and starts dialing a numberI could easily go down the halls and find Amari myself since I practically came here every day when she was admitted at 9. I know this place like the back of my hand but I’ll be professional since I’m here as a visitor, not an owner "Uhm we have a.... "She pauses clearly forgetting my name"Daniel Peters" I answer her with a smile "Daniel Peters here to see a patient..." she looks down at her books "- patient 007""Okay," she says into the phone before she places it back down"
