The shops

the three girls were having fun having the whole day to shop, they were mainly buying stuff for daniella, adam had told them to get her stuff because he has spoken to social services and has fostered her again, because he thinks she would be safer with him and the team. Emma, shalimar and daniella had finished getting daniella most of the essentials and decided to go and look at the clothes,while changing into the new outfits emma and shalimar had picked out for daniella, daniella had this feeling that some was watching her from afar.

"Hey daniella are you done, em and i would love to see what they look like on you,"

"hold on i will be out in a second," daniella replied and walked out to see what both emma and shalimar thought of the top and jeans they had picked out, "they suit you well,"

"they do don't they, too bad we are only getting essentials today and i left my money at sanctuary,"

"hey em want to buy them for her as a welcome present," shalimar whispered to emma

"sure but how do we buy it without her knowing,"

"i have a plan,"shalimar and emma were so wrapped up in planning on how they were going to buy the clothes they didn't notice daniella go into the changing rooms.

Meanwhile emma and shalimar were talking daniella had gone into the changing rooms and decided to change back into her clothes, as she turned around to leave daniella saw someone, when she got closer she noticed who it was, it was her dad she screamed like hell and tried to get pass him to go to shalimar and emma but he caught hold of her and held a small instrument to her back, emma and shalimar heard daniella scream and ran into the changing rooms. The first thing they saw was a man with an arm around daniella's throat and had brought the small instrument to face, they realized it was a small knife, shalimar tried walking towards the daniella and the stranger but then heard daniella say "shal this is my dad" this made shalimar stop in her tracks but before she was able to do anything daniella's dad had used the knife on daniella's face making a large scar on her right cheek starting from her nose down. Daniella screamed and was instantly dropped to the ground as her dad let go of her and made his way to the exit, shalimar ran after him and was not able to catch up with him because he had phased into a nearby wall. Running back to the changing rooms shalimar saw emma help daniella up, daniella now had a large scar on her face that was visible and she knew that both her and emma were going to get an earful when they get back to sanctuary. " are you ok ?" shalimar asked daniella as she went to her and stood next to emma, daniella was now in a chair and replied, "yeah, i am fine not much harm done, its not like he shot me like last time he got angry i ran away,"

"you mean to say he does this all the time," both shalimar and emma both said together

by now daniella was crying, partly because her face was stinging and partly because it had reminded her how badly she was treated by her dad. "yeah, he does but i am used to it, he either pulls out a knife or a gun to hurt me, last time it was a gun but this time i was let off lightly because you guys came running in," after saying that she got up and hugged both emma and shalimar and said "thanks, if you guys hadn't shown up, the outcome would have been somewhat different,."

before they had left the changing rooms they had to think of something to cover daniella's face so it wouldn't arouse any suspicion from the other customers, they didn't know what to do, all three looked into the bags from earlier on when emma pulled out a first aid kit, adam had instructed them all to carry one just in case he wasn't around and emma had bought one for daniella earlier on and one for herself. Within minutes both emma and shalimar patched daniella up and were on their way out when shalimar said she would catch up with the two t the food court, she decided now would be the best time to buy the outfit daniella had tried on before the incident before daniella's dad had arrived, once she had brought the outfit shalimar made her way to the food court to catch up with emma and daniella, she found them at a table talking. "hey what do you have there," daniella asked as soon as shalimar sat down, "oh, nothing to worry about,"

"i was talking to emma and i think we should let adam know now what just happened, so when we get back to sanctuary, we won't be in trouble about not letting him know,"

"sounds like a plan, so who's ring shall we use,"

" i think mine will do, even though it hasn't been used for sometime i think it will work,"

"ok, but where shall we do it?"

" i was thinking that we shall tell him on the way back in the car, because we will be the only ones there,"

"ok, but aren't we going to get lunch first i am hungry," shalimar asked

"yeah, sure but i haven't got any money so i will wait till we get back and besides i not really hungry,"daniella said

"well then i am going to get something small for now and get something big at sanctuary because i am only peckish, do you want something daniella because i can pay for you,"

"no, i am fine, like i said i am not really hungry,"

"do you want a drink then, you could do with something in your system,"

"oh, ok then i will have a, i don't know, a water,"

"why don't you have a lemonade or something?" shalimar asked

"no , i will stick with water because i am not a fan of fizzy drinks they are filled too much crap and they give me a stomach ache,"

"ok, a water, fine with me,shal what do you want?" emma asked.

" my usual," replied shalimar

after shalimar had finished her lunch and emma her snack the three made their way to the car, they stuck their bags in the boot and made their way to sanctuary, during their ride back daniella thought it would be a good idea to contact adam, but realized her ring wouldn't work, so emma and shalimar took it in turns to tell adam what had happened theirs luckily he liked the idea that they had bothered to call adam before they got to sanctuary and he didn't sound to angry at them, but they didn't see his face so they couldn't really see his reaction.
