"I can't believe you kidnapped me!" Kai yelled, spinning back to face her before Cinder could brace herself. "We're on a spaceship, Cinder. In space!" He pointed at the wall. It wasn't actually an exterior wall, but Cinder didn't feel the need to point that out. "I can't be on a spaceship. I have a country to run. I have people who need me. We are on the verge of a war. Do you understand that? War. Where people die. I cannot be up here, messing around with you and your band of misfits! Do you even know that you are housing one of her mutants up there?"
"Oh, yeah. That's Wolf. He's harmless." She rolled her eyes. "Well, not harmless..." He laughed, but it was sharp and delirious. "I can't--how could--what were you thinking?" "You're welcome," she muttered, defiantly crossing her arms. He glowered, rather ungratefully. "Take me back to Earth." "I can't do that." "Cinder--" He huffed. Reconsidered. Softened ... just a bit. The change put an instant dent in Cinder's defenses, prompting a strange tingle behind her rib cage. She dug her fingertips into her elbows.
