Returning to Immorra [1]

The scenery outside of the window kept shifting as the car continued to move through the streets of Ashton city. 

There was an unusual silence inside the car as it passed each street.

"Are you okay?"

The silence was only broken by Amanda's voice, which contained hints of worry. 

"...If you're worried about my safety, you shouldn't be. I'm about to reach rank soon. I can hold my ow—" 

"That's not it." 

I cut her off before she could continue speaking. 

I then turned my attention in her direction. 

"Your safety isn't what is bothering me. I already know just how strong you are. There's no need for me to protect you." 

Amanda was one of the last people that needed my protection. 

With a big guild backing her up, and her father, who was now rank helping her, she was safer than anyone else I knew.
