"Awe, I wanted to know what option three was," whined Lingyun from beside me as we drove past the checkpoint.
I shrugged from the middle of the back row, squeezed between him and Yuche. "I hadn't thought about it."
It was technically true. I hadn't decided if I wanted the earth to swallow the soldiers and half of their makeshift 'base' first or the barriers standing between us and where I wanted to go.
Either way, Wei probably wouldn't have enjoyed the experience.
The checkpoint disappeared behind us, and I could still practically feel Wei Guang's eye stabbing into my back. I didn't bother to turn around and watch as he shrunk into nothing.
It was almost cute how certain he was that I couldn't handle whatever was out there.
He thought I was fragile.
