"No, I'm sure you haven't, maybe you just cut your leg," Rue tries to wager Newt's statement, but, she knew what he had said was true. "Rue, it's fine if I die, I want you to know that," The infected boy reassured her. "No, I cant......if I have to....no," Rue scrambled to make a sentence, tears starting to sting her eyes. She had known this boy for what? Three days and she already felt like she had known him for years. "Rue." Newt's voice came out as strained. "Kill me,".
