Chapter 37: Danger ahead

After just a few minutes since the car left from her school, Sorcha suddenly got a bad premonition. She looked around, and besides the new face of the person in the driver's seat, there's nothing suspicious.

"Are you newly hired?" Sorcha asked the driver, her appearance is that of just a curious girl.

The driver gave her a skeptical look and asked, "Yes, I am. Did Mrs. Barrons forgot to tell you?"

"Oh. Yeah, it seems so. What's your name?" She asked again.

"My name is Dante miss." He answered.

When Sorcha heard him, she turned quiet for a while.

Dante glanced from the front mirror and questioned, "Is there a problem young miss?"

"Nothing. I just felt that your name is familiar." She lied. Her instincts is telling her that this is definitely not nothing. Having been exposed to a lot of danger in her previous life, she has developed her sixth sense. Although her gut feeling is not hundred percent accurate, she still depends on it a lot. It has saved her life countless of times already.

Her parents would have definitely informed her about the change of driver, and now they didn't. Obviously, just from that fact, it was already doubtful.

She took out knives from a small compartment inside the car and placed it in her body. She inserted a small one in her shoes, tucked one in her waist, and hid one in her sleeves. Her action was swift and went completely unnoticed, even by the driver. She always bring weapon with her, her pocket actually have a knife as well, but it's too small and disguised as a pen, and it didn't seem reliable in real trouble. It's not as if she really expects to encounter danger. The safe environment she experienced in this life has lessened her vigilance, though not by much, it still frustrated her. What if she's not inside the car where she hides her real knives? The pen-knife, can it even be used to intimidate someone?

After doing all those, she glanced at the mirror and observed her surroundings. If a while ago she wasn't sure that there's something wrong, now she has confirmed that there is.

A car is definitely following them. Although it was trying to stay inconspicuous, it couldn't hide from Sorcha's sight.

"Can we go back to school?" She said, while pretending to search her bag.

"Ah?" The driver frowned. "But miss, we're already too far."

"I'm sorry. I forgot something."

Hi. This novel has reached 100k+ views, yet it only have a few collection, comment and review. I'm sad to say this, but I'm planning to finish the novel faster.

Perhaps, I would end it with two volumes or three Max. (Unless something unexpected happen)

I love this novel since it's the first one I made, but I also do not want to continue writing something that has low acceptance from readers, Especially when I'm really busy irl.

Love you guys! And I hope that you'll still support me.

Chapter 38: Out on a leisurely trip

"What did you forget? Can't it wait for tomorrow?" The driver asked impatiently.

"It is some paperwork my teacher wants me to accomplish for him, and I need to finish it today. Can we go back?" Sorcha said, pretending nothing's wrong.

The driver turned silent before saying, "I'm sorry young miss. I also need to do this."

He didn't turn the car, but he directed it towards the near, empty sidewalk.

Sorcha calmed her mind. When the driver was about to stop the car, she suddenly launched onto him, making the driver be caught unprepared. She is holding a knife in her left hand, while her right arm is wrapping his neck.

She whispered, "drive back." Her voice, though still have a hint of childishness, seemed matured and cold. She's looking at the front, and at the side mirror. Her calm appearance made her look as if she's not pointing a knife to threaten someone, but out on a leisurely trip instead.

"You're still green girl. Can you really use that knife of yours?" He asked, his actions only made her think that he's buying for time.

She smirked and pressed the knife harder to his neck. A bloody line appeared there and spread through the metal knife.

"Don't test me." She said coldly.

The driver gnashed his teeth. "Since when did you notice?"

Sorcha looked at him as if she's looking at an idiot. "From the beginning. Stop dawdling and just drive back to my school."

He has no other changes choice but to steer the wheel and do what she wanted. Though he's still skeptical whether the girl could hurt him, he has a hunch that if he didn't follow her instructions now he'd definitely regret it.

While the car is driving back to the school, Sorcha asked, "what are your plans?"

She isn't hoping for him to say anything, but atleast it'd be better to get some things out of his mouth.

Like what she thought, he just kept silent. But what she didn't expect is that he would actually say something after a while.

"We do not plan to harm you." He said.

Sorcha felt that he's saying the truth, but she still didn't trust him.

"Really, now?" She asked.

"We only wanted to use you against your father." He answered.

Now, she definitely couldn't remain unperturbed. These guys are definitely after his father. They even wanted to use her to threaten him. She instantly felt mad. The car temperature which is already low, became even colder.
