Chapter 17 Into the Monster’s Domain
Olivia's hands clung tightly to the structure underneath the van. The fumes from the exhaust invaded her nostrils, and the debris from the road didn't make the task any easier.
Olivia's heart hammered in her ears. Sweat dripped from her face, her hands grew clammy, and her neck ached from the lack of support. She had to steady herself through every jarring bump.
A thought of giving up crossed her mind, but she shoved it away. She had to save Little White, she won't let this challenge stop her from achieving her goal.
After what seemed like an eternity, the van finally came to a stop. Olivia's hands and legs let go of their grips. She lies flat on the ground, her gaze staring at the iron coated with oils and dust. A tear of relief fell from her eyes, she actually made it happen.
The students stepped out from the van, standing in a line, Olivia took a deep breath, determination shined in her eyes. ' It's now or never.'
She crawled out from under the van, skillfully blending with the students. She carefully dusted the debris from her body.
Olivia's froze as sharp brown eyes bore into her. She nervously smiled at her. Her stomach twisted, a lump formed in her throat. Think. Think. What excuse would work?
But the girl turned, pretending not to see a thing. Blood drained from Olivia's face, despite the girl having turned a blind eye to her, she still doesn't know if she was safe.
The fact that the girl had turned a blind eye to her only made Olivia more uneasy.
" Remember the mission is to get an S level core, be safe." The teacher's voice disrupted Olivia from her thoughts.
" Move out."
