Chapter 9 SAGE

I was so tempted to lift my face up. I know I've heard that voice from somewhere; I'm sure of it. I just couldn't recall where exactly heard that deep baritone voice.

"Just a quick look," I murmur. I slowly lifted my head, trying to get a glimpse of his face. But before I could even take a peek, I was startled by Beta Scott's thundering voice. "Keep your head low if you still want your head attached to your body," he threatened.

"You're dismissed," I heard him say as he walked past me.
