Day one of torture begins........

"Thank you very much I'm very grateful" Kori was seating on a large couch sipping her coffee

"I know you've thanked me like twenty times already" Richard sat across from her with amari in his lap

and the little black kitten sleeping on Amari's lap

"But thanking you is not enough I am sure there is something I can do to make this up to you"

"How about we go out for dinner?" Richard smirked and Kori blushed

"We're going out daddy?" Richard looked down at his daughter "I'm sorry sweetie but I was thinking more of Ms. Garrison and me going out together is that okay?" Amari frowned "Fine, but where is Raven?"

"I believe she is in fixing her room" Amari jumped off her father holding the kitten close to herself and began to skip away humming

"Your daughter is very adorable" Kori placed her cup onto the table and smiled making Richard smile as well "She is very smart too"

"Would you like to have kids someday?" Kori looked out a window "Yes and if they were all like Amari I would be very happy"

elsewhere in the mansion..............

"PLEASE OPEN UP" Amari stood in the hallway in front of a door holding a book to her chest with tears in her eyes "PLEASE" the little black kitten meowed and began to scratch on the door "Fine I don't care leave me all alone I don't like you anymore" Amari began to cry, the door opened and Raven stepped out

"What do you mean all alone? Where Is your father?" Amari wiped her tears away "He went out with Ms. Garrison" Raven grumbled something under her breath and looked down the hallway

"But what do you want with me?" Raven asked confused "I need to finish settling in I don't have time to play with" Raven looked down and noticed amari holding a book up covering her face "A book"

"I want you to read me a story" Amari peeked over the edge of the book "It's my favorite book, I want you to read it to me" Raven knelt down and took the book

"You know how to read don't you?" Amari wore a puzzled look "Yes I do"

"So why would you need me to read you a story?" Amari looked down to the floor "Because mommy used to read me stories....I wanted to be your friend" Raven frowned

Great now I've made her sad.....one story wont hurt

"Listen one story and that's it okay?" Amari looked back up smiling "Yes! I knew you would be my friend" Amari tip toed and looked over Raven's shoulder

"What are you looking at?" Raven turned her head and looked inside her room "I would like to read in there" Raven looked back at Amari

"No" Amari placed her hands together and made her best puppy dog eyes "Pleeeaaassssseeeee" Raven stood up and closed her door "Maybe some other time when I trust you enough"

"Fine we can go to the lubrary" Raven coughed "Don't you mean Library?"

"Yes that's what I said Lubrary" Raven smirked "For someone who likes to read books I'm surprised you don't know how to pronounce Library...now say it with me LI-brary"

"Lu-Library" Raven nodded and began to walk down the hall "Now where is this library you speak of amari?" Amari ran after Raven "It's on the third Floor last door in the hallway" They began to head in that direction Amari right behind Raven, she suddenly stopped and looked back at the sleeping kitty "Come along now Tomid" The small kitten got up and began to follow them

this little girl talks more like a ten year old not a six year old.....Tomid?

"It stands for Topaz and Midnight put together" Raven sighed "I didn't know I spoke out loud"

"Huh?" Raven turned the corner followed by Amari and Tomid "Never mind"

day two of torture

Raven walked down the hallway having all her concentration on her book she didn't notice the little person walking behind her doing the exact same thing

yes she's reading like this.....now maybe she'll like me...

Raven heard a meowing sound and stopped only to have someone bump into her "Huh?" she turned around and found no one she raised an eyebrow and heard some giggling turning around again she didn't find anyone

Raven sighed and counted to three then began to run down the hallway, smirking she clutched her book to her chest

she can't catch up to me that much I know

Raven turned the corner and bumped into something hard causing her to fall back on her behind "Oh" looking up she blushed in embarrassment there standing before her was Amari's father with a questioning look on his face when she was about to explain amari came turning the corner and fell on top of Raven

"Daddy!" she looked up smiling at him while Tomid made himself comfortable on her back

"May I ask what is the hurry?" Raven blew a strand of her hair away from her face "Amari you know you shouldn't be running around inside the house so care to explain?"

"Well she started it" Raven looked down at the girl with disbelief written all over her face "I only wanted to read like her but she ran away...daddy do I have cooties or something?" Richard looked at Raven and smirked

"Your daughter is very....persistent I can't escape her" Richard picked up a giggling amari and frowned the small cat now laid on Raven's stomach

"Amari I told you to leave her alone" Amari began to cry "Now stop that she is our guest not one of your experiments"

"But I like her, I need to be her friend, I NEED HER" Amari stressed the last part causing Raven to sigh and lay on her back, Richard looked down at her and became mesmerized.

She's absolutely beautiful...laying on the floor like that...what am I talking about I need to stop this right now before I loose control....but she's gorgeous so different

"Daddy? Daddy I'm talking to you wake up" Richard shook his head and looked back at his daughter "What is it sweetie?"

"I want you to tell her to stay with me, she needs to read to me and play with me" Amari pointed to a now standing Raven

"No sweetie I can't do that" Amari looked away "But why? Why can't you?" Richard chuckled

"Because I can't and I did not raise you to be a spoiled brat so apologize to Ms. Roth" Richard placed amari on the floor

"Okay" Amari looked down finding her shoes more interesting " I'm very sorry.....sorry mommy" Amari ran away crying

"Amari?" Richard looked down the hallway his daughter ran through "amari...." he looked back at Raven and was going to apologize when she raised her hand to stop him

"Listen don't worry about it I'll go talk to her.....as much as you would love to go talk to her she needs someone more of like a"

"Woman?" he answered frustrated, Raven began to walk down the hallway and stopped midway

"No, someone who spends time with her...."she continued on her way Tomid following behind, Richard looked on not really comprehending what she spoke of

hour later...

"Amari I am not a person to beg so open up this door right now" Raven leaned against the wall next to the door "Come on I'll take you out to my new favorite book store" The door cracked open revealing the head of Amari

"Really?" Raven got off the wall and looked down at the little girl "Yes come on before I change my mind" Amari went back into her room for a moment and came back out with a hand bag "What's that for?"

"Tomid" Amari placed the kitten inside the bag letting him stick his head out "See now he can come with us too"

"Don't blame me if they don't let you in because you have that animal with you" Amari stuck her tongue out and began to leave "You know you'll have to wait for me I'm the one that knows the way to that store" Raven followed Amari with her arms folded in front of her chest

Don't hurt me for not updating sooner I know my other stories are left behind but seriously I have chapters written but I just want to keep adding more and more so I never have any time to submit them and I like this story really I do
