AthenaI didn't see that coming; Dante is Spanish? I may not have paid much attention to Spanish class but I recognize some words. He kept on yelling into his phone. I kept quiet not wanting to set him off. The driver kept going, and I couldn't wait to get off.
Athena"Please be careful. I don't want anything bad to happen to you," Amber said.After the events of yesterday, I was still a little shaken up. My body was on constant alert. Every little thing spooked me. I told Amber about my meeting with Dante and she became worried. She didn't think I'd be safe with him. I also told her about the kidnap. Although I didn't tell her about Dante's involvement."Don't worry, Amber. I will be safe. I just need to talk to him."School had already ended and I was waiting for Dante.

Like yesterday, I found it difficult to open my eyes. I must have been knocked out hard by whatever was injected into my neck. I still felt drowsy from the injection, and my limbs felt like logs of wood. I peeled my eyes open with much difficulty to realize that I was at the same place where I was kidnapped. It was morning already.How long did I spend there? I stood up so fast my head started spinning.They set me free but why?Then a thought entered my head–the gift.
