Mina Cinder vs Encounter: Exceptional Success
Mina made a withering sound that bordered on a whine as Max dashed her idea of escape. What he didn't comprehend, couldn't grasp perhaps, was that fleeing was in his best interest. One did not simply meddle in the Underworld and come out unscathed. History—or myth—wherever you fell the subject, rang out with such consequences. Surely, they were better off throwing themselves to the tracks than follow the hound.
Even now, that didn’t sound like such a bad idea. If only she trusted Tisiphone to ease their passage and soften the landing, maybe then she would have said differently. But her lip curled in silent reproach; who was she kidding? Her passenger would ride shotgun as she cracked her skull on a tie or fell on the third rail. Then none of this would matter anymore.
Were she alone, the thought may have solidified into something actionable, but she couldn’t leave Max to the wolves. Being at his side increased his odds of getting through this in one piece. Hesitant, she met his raised eyebrow and silent question with a resigned sigh. Mina pushed herself to her feet and brought up the rear, giving Cerberus room to work. A seeking head kept her in the peripheral.
“This is a bad idea.” Mina cautioned.
