"Sorry Monica, but this ant crawls solo." Tina said, much to the other girl's shock.
"What?!" Monica asked startled.
"Sorry, but I calculate my chances of survival are better if I travel alone. Another body to protect will only slow me down." Tina explained. In her mind Monica would only be a burden. Besides, she wanted that shrink ray all to herself. If she got her hands on it she could only imagine the possibilities. Maybe she could finally get rid of Sarah and have Chase all to herself.
"No! No! No! No! No! I won't slow you down I promise!" Monica began to cry and struggle. "Please you can't leave me here!"
This was a hard choice, Tina knew it. She honestly surprised herself by how cold her logic was. But between being shrunk, put out with her bully, and now having another body to potentially take care of, she had had enough. "Again... Sorry Monica, this is survival of the fittest."
The trapped girl's eyes widened when she heard this and watched in horror as Tina turned her back and began to walk away. She renewed her struggles with strength she never knew she had. "No! Please! I'm begging you! Don't leave me here! We're friends aren't we!"
Monica's pleas were like a one two punch to the gut. Why was she acting like this? She wasn't a cold and callous individual. Was the prospect of power really getting to her? Was the stress of her everyday life starting to break her down? She honestly didn't know?
As she looked back at the struggling girl and back at the exit she could feel the guilt sitting in her stomach like stone. Could she really just leave her hear? Or would she stay strong to her new belief in Darwinism?
