If she agrees to do this, she's putting herself at risk. Even her mother -- God bless her soul, still wrapped up in whatever Church nonsense she had always been, could be in danger.
What does it matter?
The words whisper their way across her mind.
Who cares? This gives you a purpose. You can make a change. A direction.
What did it matter if she was hurt, or even died? That's what they'd all do in the end anyway. They'd die. She'd die. But she could die as a player or die as an unwitting pawn, with no choice.
Choices. Choices.
What are we without choices?
Other than her mother there was no one else put at risk. And even then, she was so separated from her mother at this point... she hadn't even spoken to her in months. She didn't hate the woman, but years of struggling with her had given her a good deal of disattachment from her. Snuggled deep in her Church, she would be safe.
What did Rue really have to lose? And what did she have to gain?
