Chapter 36 - : 36 : I am Not Clinging!
Aiden tried to set her down.
He really did.
But Fluffnugget had other plans.
The second her feet touched the ground—
"MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!!!"
Another beam surged straight toward them like a pink meteor of sparkles and death.
Aiden cursed under his breath, grabbed Lysandra by the waist, and yanked her back into his arms like a sack of potatoes.
"Put me down!" she shrieked, arms flailing as her legs kicked wildly. "I can walk!"
"Then walk faster than light, because that thing isn’t waiting!"
He bolted.
Lysandra’s voice cracked. "I hate this—!"
Another boom shook the ground beneath them. Pebbles rained down from above. Glitter stuck to her hair like some sick joke from the gods.
