"Nova, where are you headed?" I heard Sage's voice from behind, interrupting my thoughts.
"I'm going to cool off."
"Cool. Can I come with?"
"Dakota told you to follow me, didn't she?" I came to a stop and he followed suit to face me, showing a guilty expression.
"She just wanted to make sure you were fine."
"Yeah? Well tell her that I will be fine if she faced me herself." I replied; annoyance hidden in my voice.
"What's up with you guys?"
"I entered the battles."
"You didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Why!?" He asked, as if forcing me to reply with a much more suitable answer.
"I want to leave, Sage. This place isn't for me. I want to see the world."
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU EVEN THINK YOU CAN SURVIVE THE BATTLES!?" He shouted with a stern and worried tone in his voice.
Now, I would say he was overreacting but, it is true. We live in a place called, Neito, wherein freedom is only attained if you battle your opponents in an abandoned building until you're the only man standing.
"BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN! NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!" I snapped back; not wanting to make more enemies in my last few days in this place.
