Weak? Yes, she was weak. She couldn't control anything. She couldn't do anything. The Never Never only knew how long the pixie's pointless existance would continue. The decades-long imprisionment in the mentallity and body of a seven-year-old batted away at Tinkerbell's recources until there was little left.
She thought she could help the community at least. That was why she agreed to become a guard, but that was merely a means for Moira to control the populace. Keep the outsiders out and the insiders minimally happy. No questions asked and if somehow questions managed to be asked, the askers become property of the colony, given barcodes and placed in a "working environment."
Working? Hah!
But nothing... Nothing had ever happened on one of little Angelina's shifts before the strange, cold boy wandered into practically the middle of Edge Park. It was then that she couldn't overcome her sense of duty. Keep the colony safe from outer environment infections. That was the prime directive pounded into her for the last thirty years. She was wrong, but couldn't see that until it was too late. That was why she had to break Wufei out but, he didn't need her anymore.
It was all too much. Tinkerbell felt the light drain out of her body.
"Yes, Pirate. I am weak and you have won. It is enough. I cannot go on. Kill me if you must, but that boy will escape from this colony. He did not need my help, after all."
"If you're that willing to die, onna," Wufei began, cutting her binds, one-handed, with a dagger he'd taken from the Lieutenant, "Do it somewhere else. Now, get up."
Tinkerbell froze. He was helping her. Wufei was going to rescue his captor. "Why?" she managed to push past her shock and misery.
"Because I said to! What does it matter, anyway? Get moving."
"But-"
"Now!" Tinkerbell scrambled onto her feet, but couldn't tear her eyes from her rescuer. "How many times do I have to tell you? Run!"
She took off through the trees, blindly running for a few moments, before coming back to her senses. She couldn't leave Wufei behind. He was supposed to be escaping. She turned to head back to the clearing, when she heard the brush ahead of her rustling, like someone sprinting for his life.
"Wufei?" she called out, hoping past her fear that it was him and that he was safe.
"Angelina?" The pilot broke through the trees, snatching Tinkerbell's wrist as he flew past. Tinkerbell launched into a sprint, to match his before she was pulled to the ground. As their speed united, Wufei readjusted his grip to her hand. "It's not much further, just keep running!"
"What happened to Moira?"
"Save your breath. We'll talk later."
Yes. If there is a later. Tinkerbell held her tongue and kept her legs moving, until Wufei came to an abrupt halt.
"I hope you're not afraid of heights." That was the only warning of what was to come, before she found Wufei clinging tightly to her waist and they were rising in the air. The pixie looked down. Wufei's foot was in some sort of stirrup that was pulling them up into the clouds.
A moment of loss passed through the pixie's heart. How she missed the clouds, the breeze tearing her hair from its bun. How she missed her-
Oh, dear Never Never!! How could she have forgotten? "I have to-" She struggled against his arms.
"Stop! I said save your breath. Now, save it."
"But-"
"More trouble than a monkey!" he mumbled, then, "We're here."
