A beam of yellow light
burned my eyes
Jeb set the flashlight down, bulb upIt threw a circle of light on the low ceiling and made a
wider, more diffuse sphere of light around us
Jeb settled himself against the wall beside me
“Gonna starve yourself, then? Is that the plan?”
I glared at the stone floor
If I was being honest with myself, I knew that my mourning was overI hadn't
known the child or the other soul in the cave of horrorsI could not grieve for strangers forever
“You wanna die, there are easier gucci tote and faster ways
As if I wasn't aware ofthat
“So give me to Doc, then,” I croaked
Jeb wasn't surprised to hear me speakHe nodded to himself, as if this was exactly what he'd
known would come out of my mouth
“Did you expect us to just give up, Wanderer?” Jeb's voice was stern and more serious than I
had ever heard it before“We have a stronger survival instinct than thatOf course we want to

Of course they would think violence was the answerThey wouldn't be able to imagine any
other solutionCould I blame them that their genetic programming restricted their
problem-solving abilities in this way?
I cleared my throat, but my voice was still hoarse with disuse“Hacking up babies won't save
anyone, Jeb
He was quiet for a moment“We can't tell your young chanel big bags from your old
“Your kind don't spare our babies
“We don't torture them, thoughWe never intentionally cause anyone pain
“You do worse than that
“We do, yes–because we have to tryWe have to keep fightingIt's the only way we knowIt's
keep trying or turn our faces to the wall and die He raised one eyebrow at me
That must have been what it looked like I was doing
I sighed and took the water bottle Ian had left close to my footI drained it in one long pull, and
then cleared my throat again
