Oh no. Not now. Anytime but now! Why did Nero have to show up when she was trying to stop Aeta from doing this?! She was about to speak when Aeta pushed her out of the way, and she blinked when she saw the boxes. Did he honestly expect her to hide behind them? Ha, right, like she would do such a thing. Jaden wasn't a coward, and she wasn't about to let him die right before her eyes, when she could possibly help. She remained in sight, not going to hide herself, though she did stay to where he had pushed her to. The fourteen-year-old at least knew how to compromise.
As Stephen entered the room and asked if he needed help, her eyes lit up slightly, and she wiped her tears away, calming herself. "If you won't let me help, at least let him," Jaden said. Quite honestly, she didn't care if he would let her help; she would help if she had to. "Don't be stubborn and try to do something like this on your own."
