Sorcha Knight In The City 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 dont know his name. Oh thats 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.
