LANCE
Before I got to him Seven appeared to his side and slap him in the cheek. The loud pang made Magnus unbalance on his feet.
"Oww, what's that for?" He's rubbing his cheek. It's bright red. Seven is glowering him. Eyes as dangerous like we're back in that room earlier, smashing goblin's head.
"Five" she said.
"Yes?"
"Carry him."
That's not a request. It's an order. I've learn beforehand that girls are dangerous. Seven? She's the gangleader. She can be meek and badass as hell if she wants too.
I didn't hesitate. I haul Magnus in my back. His strong arms wrap around my neck.
"You don't need to do this." Magnus tried to convince me. "Just leave me. Take Sam and Seven away from here."
"You know I can't do that. I betrayed your trust once back in Opra. I won't do that again. Besides, Seven is super scary right now. I think she'll skin me alive if I disobey." I shiver.
"That's her front."
