One Of My Own

~*~*~*~


Let's get one thing straight.

I don't cry.

Crying equals weakness.

Weakness leads to mistakes.

And mistakes will get you killed.

But while holding Ben's lifeless body in my arms, a brother I
would gladly give my own life to protect, I cried.

I cried, because he died by *my* hands.

All I ever wanted since my escape was to find my brothers and
sisters.

I never thought in a million years that I would be forced to do
such an inhuman act to one of them.

But what choice did I have?

Let him go back to Manticore?

Back to those monsters?

Would I want him to do the same thing to me in that situation?

Only *I* know that answer to that.
