Chapter 10: He is dangerous

Marion was standing by the gates of the school as he saw his friend Ryan who was huffing and puffing by the time he reached him.

"Oi! Can't you walk slower? You know I don't have much endurance like you." Ryan wipes his head as he complained to Marion.

"Its because you're always slacking off at your workouts." Marion said with a trace of mirth in his eyes.

"Tsk! You know I'm just a weak high school teacher don't you?" Ryan exaggeratedly said.

"Yeah a weak high school teacher." Marion answered back with Sarcasm.

"Hey you know I quit training long ago." Ryan rolled his eyes.

"If you didn't quit, following my pace isn't difficult at all." Marion said with disappointment as he recalled his friend chose to become a teacher instead of pursuing a military career like him.

"Come on now, I'm better in this job than being a soldier." Replied Ryan.

Suddenly they heard laughters from students coming near them.

"Haha Edmund you should try talking more. You have such a nice voice you know!" Rica said

Luke nodded. "He looks good too, but he keeps on putting his head down. Don't you agree as well Sorcha?"

"Mm" Sorcha inclined her head in agreement.

Edmund felt his face burn once again as he sneaked a glance to Sorcha. 'They are all good to me' he thought.

"Guys I'm going now! Our car is here." Said Rica

"Take care." Sorcha told her.

"I... I'm going as well." Edmund muttered.

"You take care too." Sorcha again said.

"How about you Sorcha? You're not going yet?" Luke asked.

"I am. I'm waiting for all of you to go." She said .

"Oh that's for a gentleman to do!" Luke laughed. "Besides I'm waiting for my brother today so you can go now."

"Oh, Isn't that Mr. Ryan and your brother?" Sorcha pointed towards the side of the gate. She squinted at the sight of them. 'I just noticed now, he has a dangerous aura.' she inwardly muttered as she looked towards Luke's brother.

"Yeah you're right! Come with me, I'll introduce you to him." Luke held her hand.

Sorcha hurriedly brushed off his hand and said, "Maybe next time. They look like they're talking about something. I'll go now."

"Oh too bad." Luke frowned then smiled again, "See you tomorrow okay?" Then waved his hand.

"Mm. See you tomorrow." Sorcha waved back then left.

"Brother!" Luke shouted to Marion then scratched his head, "Hello uhm Mr. Ryan."

"Haha you don't have to call me that when we're not in class! Looks like you're getting along well with Sorcha Barrons." Ryan said teasingly.

"Haha well, Sorcha is kind." Luke praised her.

"Mm she indeed look kind." Ryan said. Then he looked at his friend beside him and find that he's staring at the direction where sorcha left.

'Sorcha..' Marion thought, 'why does she feel familiar?'

"Hey should we go now?" Ryan asked him

Marion came out of his daze, "Ah? Yes, Let's go now."

"Oh okay." Ryan said confused. 'Was he in a daze just now? That's rare. Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking."


Chapter 11: Precautionary measures

In a room filled with citrus scent that neither smells nauseating nor heavy but instead makes you feel fresh and subtle, the twenty-two year old Marion, who was sitting near a window while holding a book, stares outside in a daze. If not for the random shouts of the soldiers training outside who ruins the atmosphere, you'd think that you're looking at a painting of a handsome man who reminisces about his first love.

The face of a young girl with grey-black eyes, straight nose, and a rose-colored lips crosses his mind and the feeling of familiarity he felt when he saw her again yesterday.

He shook his head and laughed. If the soldiers outside were there to see it, they'd be stunned by the sight and think that it actually is possible for their slack-faced captain to laugh.

'I must be going crazy thinking about a little girl.' he told himself then turned his attention to the upsidedown book he's holding then sighed again by his foolishness.

"Sorcha was it?" He smiled then frowned once again and thrown the topic at the back of his head as he stood up and left his room.

~~

"Dad." The voice of a girl sounded across the room.

"Yes?" Anthony asked lifting his head.

"Can I borrow some books.. um you know, military books?" Sorcha said

Anthony raised one of his eyebrows as he look at his beloved daughter. 'She's really eager huh?' he thought.

As Sorcha sees his father's reaction, she hurriedly followed "You see Dad, since the training would only start next month then why don't I start reading books for now?"

Anthony finds his daughter quite funny about how she's so impatient to learn about the military. He laughed then pointed at the bookshelf "Okay, take some first from there. You can always come back to get for more." He said.

Sorcha stared with wide eyes to her father then bobbed her head "Okay, thank you Dad!" Then walked towards the bookshelf happily, taking some and carried them outside.

Aunt Claire saw her as she goes back to her room and asked, "Are you reading all those?"

"Yes aunt." She smiled.

"Haha then let me make you some snacks for you to eat while reading."

"Oh that'd be great! Thanks aunt!" Sorcha smiled wider exposing her cute canine teeth and continued her way to her room.

As Sorcha was reading the 'basic military' book while muching some of the food her Aunt Claire prepared, she remembered the man he saw yesterday.

'That guy, although he looks good and he's Luke's older brother, he seems to be a dangerous one' she thought. 'But why do I feel like he's familiar? Have I seen him somewhere before?' Sorcha skeptically thought.

'I still don't know his name. Oh that's not what's important. Anyway, I think it's better to keep away from him. It won't hurt to take some precautions' then she brushed her thoughts about him away.

Meanwhile, a certain someone, who's still ignorant about how he's been labeled as 'Dangerous' by a little girl, sneezed suddenly.

'Am I about to get sick?' He asked himself inwardly. 'Better to take a rest for now, I don't have anything to do now anyway.' then returned toward his living quarters.
