Widows

chapter 4 natasha's view

I slowly made my way to the bathroom, I still had time but I wanted to at least talk to Yelena. I took my toothbrush and put toothpaste on it. The silence was unbearable but I had to go through it now. I combed my hair with my fingers and then went to yelena's room. "Yelena?" I quietly peeked at the door.
"Are you awake yet?" I slowly opened the door and saw that Yelena was wrapped in the blanket on her bed. I smiled slightly and sat next to her on the bed. "Hello?" I whispered softly. I slowly stroked her arm, which she then immediately pulled under the blanket. "Come on, we have to go!" She exhaled quietly and then slowly opened her eyes. "Is it time yet?" she asked in a tired voice. "Yes it is," I replied softly, brushing a strand of hair away from her face."It's okay!" she answered quietly and sat up. "Let me just go to the bathroom okay?" "Sure," I answered quietly and Yelena disappeared behind the door. I looked around and sat down at her desk. The only thing we had in our room was a bed, a chair next to it and a desk with a drawer. I quietly opened the drawer and took out a picture. It was a picture with yelena and me, it was my 3 year in the red room. Yelena had just gotten around to it. I was 7 and she was 6 I think it was our first Christmas here. We both knew that presents were just boxes, but we still wanted to unwrap them all. I smiled slightly when Yelena came back into the room. "Remember that?" I turned to her but still held the picture tightly in my hand. "Yes, it was our first Christmas together here, even if you can't say that it's nice here." Yelena crouched next to me and I took her hand. "Everything will be okay!" She gives me a small smile as we heard the music coming through the speakers telling us to come to the common room. Yelena gave me a scared look and immediately let go of my hand. "It'll be okay, don't forget that!"

We sat in the row of chairs and waited for drekov, he is the boss here and created the red room. "It's nice that you're all here," *we had no other choice* I thought to myself and continued to look at Drekov's face. "As you know, new girls are added to the red room today and some are taken away, you can of course say goodbye to those who have to go"He takes a little break and pulls out a piece of paper. "Well, we're getting 3 new ones, so 3 people get fired today!" *Fired... sure! As if we're doing this voluntarily*
"These 3 girls are Greys,anable and yelena"
