Chapter 8

Tugs! Tugs! Tugs! Loud bar music.

"Let's Dance!!", shouted Jolly hyper as she wiggled and wiggled on the dance floor. Dance here. Dance there. She felt the tingling as her straight hair swayed in the air. She is wearing a red fitted dress. It almost fits her well-shaped body. You can see her smooth legs and collarbone because of the tube style she is wearing.

Soon she was surrounded by people. Both of them are as drunk as the man in front of them.

"Let's Drink more!", the man whispered to her and smelled the strong alcohol from his breath. Jolly immediately drank the glass of alcohol from the man without thinking. The wine rushed down Jolly's throat. After a while, her surroundings suddenly began to spin. She shook her head to get rid of the dizziness but it didn't go away. She couldn't stop clinging to the clothes of the man in front of her while smiling like a dog at her. The wine she drank had something mixed in it that made her feel dizzy.

The man clasped his arms and supported the dizzy Jolly. When they got out of the bar, that's when Jolly got nervous because even though her vision was blurry, she knew that it wasn't her car that they got into.

She was even more nervous when they left the bar. They stopped at the side of the road surrounded by tall grass. There are hardly any cars passing by. She realized that the man was planning something bad for her. He was about to kiss her when she used her remaining strength to push the man. The man bumped because of her unexpected push. She immediately opened the car door in favor as she pushed the man and got out. But she hadn't gotten far from the man's car when he caught up with her.

"Let me go!", cried Jolly while trying to break free from the man's grip. The man pulled her into the car but before Jolly could get inside, she tried to push the man again but he caught both of her hands. She struggled and kicked the man's center with all her might.

He groaned in pain. Jolly immediately ran even though she felt dizzy. She ran as fast as she could while the man caught up with her and called her.

Jolly didn't know what to do. Her tears flowed more and more as the man came closer to her. Jolly's running is getting weaker because of the poison. Suddenly she tripped so the man caught her while smiling and looking at her. It's like an addict watching her.

She was about to attack the man when he touched her. They are in the middle of the road. The man took out a pocket knife.

"You know what I want but because you are stubborn it is necessary to use it", Jolly immediately cried while shaking her head. She does not know what to do. She was very scared while looking at the sharp pocket knife.

"Please! No!", The man grabbed her shoulder and forced her to stand up from sitting. The man stuck the pocket knife on Jolly's cheek to scare her. The man pulled her back to the car. She tried to get out of his grip again. The man was angry because of her struggle.

"You're really tough!", the man was about to injure her when someone suddenly appeared in the man's car. It is sitting in the trunk of the car. It was visible from where Jolly was standing because of the light of the car. They couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman because of the black cloak it was wearing. It covers the whole face as well as the body.

It is like a shadow in its form. The man pulled Jolly closer to the mysterious cloaked figure.

"Who are you? Get out of my car!", it ordered but the mysterious person seemed to have no intention of following the orders of the man holding Jolly.

"You don't need to know who I am. All I want is for you to release the girl you're holding", based on the voice of the person in front of them. It's a woman. Her gentle voice brought chills throughout the body of Jolly and the man.

"Who are you to order me!?", the man shouted and laughed. Trying to hide the nervousness he felt at the mysterious woman in front of him.

"Sleep", the woman whispered in the air causing the man holding Jolly to fall. Jolly screamed when the mysterious woman got out of the car. It approached her and extend her hand to Jolly.

"Hold my hands. I will take you Home", Jolly hesitated to accept the hand that was extended to her but she accepted it in the end.

The mysterious woman squeezed Jolly's hand to say that she was safe. It wanted Jolly's fear to disappear. Her hands were shaking. Jolly's nervousness disappeared when their palms touched each other, she couldn't help shrinking in shame especially since the woman's palm was softer than her. She looked at the hand of the woman holding her hand. It's white and smooth, obviously taken care of every day.

She also smelled the fragrant lavender bath soap when the cold wind blew. The woman turned to her so she could see her half-white, smooth and fresh cheeks. Her white chest also was not hidden by the cloak she was wearing.

"Close your eyes", her voice was gentle so Jolly didn't know why her eyes closed on their own. When she opened her eyes again, they were in front of the gate of the mansion.

Jolly doesn't know whether to be afraid or amazed for the woman. The woman nodded at her and turned away.

"Wait a minute", the mysterious woman stopped walking again. Waiting for what she will say next.

"Thank---", She hesitates to say. In her entire life, this was her first time to thank an unknown woman. She swallowed several times before looking at the mysterious woman.

"Thank you", she finally uttered that word.

"Go in and sleep", Jolly gave the woman who saved her a genuine smile without any plasticity. She stepped inside and once again glanced at the woman who was just standing there before she closed the door.

A very sweet smile appeared on the woman's lips. She held the hood that covered her face and at the same time as she looked at the window of Jolly's room, she removed it. The hood fell and her gentle face shone. She looked up at the sky and smiled again. The mysterious woman is none other than Juljen, The new Teacher. Juljen walked away, step by step, as she disappeared. A new beginning for Jolly and a big success for Juljen.
