Amari POV:"Leave your message after the beep" I sigh holding the phone closer to my ear. I dig my sock-covered feet into my plush carpet trying to ground myself "Hey Shadow it's me again I know it's the 200th time I've called you in the past two weeks but please pick up I - I can't lose you ...not again" I whisper sounding as desperate as I feel. 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"
Shadow Chapter 16: Berlin
Amari POV:Waking up under duvet covers I try to adjust my eyes to the dimly lit room. Moving around I rub my neck trying to ease out the uncomfortable sting"My men injected you with Propofol. The sting should be gone in an hour or two" a deep voice says in the darkJumping up startled my mind takes me back to when I was 8 I was sitting in this exact position talking to him"Your here" I whisper out and he chuckles sending tingles down my back"You're actually in Berlin now" he shifts in the dark. I can't see him but I can see the outline of him"What do you mean" I chuckle awkwardly maybe his joking. How long was I out for to be in a completely different country?Looking around this unfamiliar room I know I'm supposed to be scared but I'm not cause I know he'll protect me like the first time he protected me from the bad guys jumping into my window all those years ago "You're becoming impulsive, sweetheart," he says. Actually listening to him speak I pick up a Russian accent in his

He walks in and sits on the edge of my bed"Look Amari about what happened the other day whatever you heard I do apologize," Daniel says whilst pretending to crack his knuckles. He's been apologizing since and if I’m being quite honest I didn’t know what they were talking about but I knew it had to do with me so I stopped them from arguing "Daniel you can stop apologizing quite frankly I don't want to be here I haven't taken my meds and my insomnia has kicked in," I say clutching onto his arm way too hard causing him to wince"Sorry," I say pulling away. I really really need my meds now “Do you remember what happened last night?” Daniel asked and I looked at him puzzled “Uh no” I answer and

Amari POV:I’ve been staring at all the dresses not knowing which one to pick because they are all so beautiful but I was running out of time so I decided to go with the white one that was less revealing even though it had a thigh slitWaiting for him to come downstairs I try my best to just stand still and look unfazed even though my nerves are going on full blast. Hearing footsteps I fix my posture and look toward the door"Sweetheart...wow" he behind me and I turn to face him. Blushing I look down as he makes his way towards me. I should be saying wow to him. He looks amazing. He's wearing an all-black suit and his hair is still wet which adds to the outfit perfectly"You’re too beautiful to shy away, tsvetok" he holds my chin up so that our eyes meet. Going in to kiss him he brings my chin down to kiss my forehead"Shall we go?" he says bringing his arms out for me to hold. Slightly embarrassed I nod and he guides me through the house. We stop in front of a door that’s new to me"
