~ SASHA ~
"I don't understand," Sasha said to Nick, not even trying to hide her voice since neither of them could speak low enough to avoid being overheard by the Chimera. "Why all the resistance, all the imprisonment, all the threats and then… now suddenly it's just okay?"
"I told you, you're very persuasive," Nick said as they watched the females slowly walking towards the massive bus that had been brought to transport them.
Sasha snorted, but didn't take her eyes off the vehicle. She was trying to tell herself it didn't remind her of the cattle trucks she'd seen on highways her whole life. "You also said you tell the truth, and I don't believe that either," she muttered.
Nick turned to look at her, a strange light in his eyes, as if she'd wounded him, which she was certain wasn't true.
