@@@@@ Doc was already gone?already with Jeb, as we hadn't passed him on the wayHe must have left right behind meI wondered how his news was being takenI hoped they weren't stupid enough to discuss it in front of the SeekerWould she shred her human host's brain if she guessed what I was doing? Would she assume I'd turned traitor entirely? That I would give the humans what they needed with no restrictions? Wasn't that what I was about to do, though? When I was gone, would Doc bother to keep his word? Yes, hewould tryI had to believe thatBut he couldn't do it aloneAnd who would help him? We scrambled up the tight black vent that opened onto the southern face of the rocky hill, about halfway up the low peakThe eastern edge of the horizon was turning gray, with just a hint of pink bleeding into the line between sky and rock My eyes were locked on my feet as I climbed downIt was necessary; there was no path, and the loose rocks made for treacherous footingBut even if the way had been paved and smooth, I doubted I would have been able to lift my eyesMy shoulders, too, seemed trapped in a slumpNot a misfit, not a wandererI was putting my gentle brothers' and sisters' lives into the angry and motivated hands of my adopted human family My humans had every right to hate the soulsThis was a war, and I was giving them a weapon A way to kill with impunity I considered this as we ran through the desert in the growing light of dawn?ran because, with the Seekers looking, we shouldn't be out in the daylight Focusing on this angle?viewing my choice not as a sacrifice but rather as arming the humans in exchange for the Seeker's life?I knew that it was wrongAnd if I was trying to save only the Seeker, this would be the moment when I would change my mind and turn aroundShe wasn't worth selling out the othersEven she would agree with that Or would she? I suddenly wonderedThe Seeker didn't seem to be as? what was the word Jared had used?Altruist
