Chapter Eight(12)
‘What?!’ Cecy moved to back into the forest, further from the Ferris Wheel. ‘You’re kidding, right? We can’t be so near to an explosion without being blown to smithereens.’
Lydia didn’t move. ‘We won’t be harmed by the explosion.’
‘Listen, I don’t know whether you have felt the impact of dynamite,’ Cecy felt frustrated, ‘I suppose you wouldn’t be alive now if you have, but at least you must have watched enough movies to know what would happen! An explosion would certainly——’
‘But this is not your typical situation,’ Lydia refuted calmly, eyes still glued to the target, ‘Though we cannot create the pathway back to our Capsule by drawing the mirror, I can safely provide a transition to a few miles away, definitely out of reach of disaster.’
Cecy heard what she didn’t say. Trust me. Trust that I won’t willingly hurt others.
Can I trust you? Cecy wondered. Can I trust any of you?
‘But, why do you have to do all this? If we are here to prevent the bomb from exploding, why are we hiding here in the shadows instead of searching outside?’
Lydia didn’t move. ‘We won’t be harmed by the explosion.’
