Why This Must Be Read: An excellent story of Teyla, stranded on a world at war, being left for dead and rescued by teenagers and children. Gripping, well written, and touching. The main original character is the protagonist, so this is also outsider POV.
"What should we do?" Sera asked softly, looking up at her big sister with trusting eyes.
What they really should do was leave the woman there. Usually the survivors were hurt too badly to be helped, and Lona would force herself to keep walking, ignoring their piteous moans. It was worse to find someone who could probably survive, given water and shelter, because that meant getting involved with someone else's problems -- and anyone who had been shot by the soldiers had problems aplenty. Lona knew that she ought to leave the stranger to die.
But she couldn't do it, couldn't walk away and leave an injured woman to die among the corpses, even though she knew that, for her own sake and her sisters', she should.
