OUR SAVIOR

"Ma-May I know why?" Jenny asked after putting the bowl of soup down. She was confused and surprised to even think why James wanted them to travel with him, all the way to The Crescent Peak. 

"It's for your own safety, Jenny…" James said, holding her gaze. His expression was dead serious and suddenly she felt the air to be so thick around her for breathing. She just mumbled an 'okay…' without throwing a tantrum.

"Yay! We are going to the mountains… I'm so happy sis!" Adrian exclaimed with his joyful tone, resulting in the tension in the room to subdue instantly. But he composed himself when he found her sister glaring at her.

"Umm… Sir if you don—"

"No need to sir me… Just call me by my name, Jenny." His words sounded gentle to her ears as she was getting captivated by those dark eyes. She didn't even know for how long she had been staring at those orbs that she felt a hand over her shoulder.
