Elaine
"Jeff. What's going on? Cmon what's the matter with her why won't she wake up?" I raise my head from where I'm wiping the girls brow. Newt Thomas and Minho ate standing together looking at her.
"Hey man, I got my job the same way you did." Replies Jeff shrugging off his question. I keep quiet, instead listening carefully.
"Do you recognise her?" Asks Newt to Thomas.
"No.."
"Really? She definitely seemed to recognise you." I say leaning back on my knees to look at them.
"What about the note?" It's Thomas I scoff looking back at the girl.
"Well. We'll worry about the note later." Newt says his hands crossed across his chest.
"I think we should worry about it now."
"What do you suggest then Thomas? We can't exactly ask her." I rise to my feet hands on hips. Sometimes he can be so annoying.
"She's right. We have enough to deal with at the moment." Newt gives me a warning look.
"If the box isn't coming back up how long do you think we can last?" We all turn back to Jeff he looks close to tears poor boy.
"No one said the box isn't coming back up." Newt says I don't know who is trying to convince more, Jeff or himself. "Let's not jump to any conclusions we'll just wait until the girl wakes up and see what she knows. Somebody's got to have some answers around here." Thomas nods to himself then turns around hastily walking out the door. "Where are you going?" Newt asks Thomas's back.
"Back into the maze." Thomas throws over his shoulder. Minho gives us a look then turns too following Thomas out of the room.
"What's he on?" I ask to the room my eyebrows furrowed once again. These boys are gonna give me wrinkles.
"Here El I'll change your bandages." Jeff passes me a bottle and points me to sit down.
"Laney?" I hear a voice from above me, I look up already knowing who it is.
"Blondie?" I reply
"It's probably nothing but I wanted to show you just in case." With that he passes me the note I look at it then flip it over two initials A.P then two more sets of initials T.P and E.P I run my fingers over the letters flashing lights in-front of my eyes makes me stumble and hold onto the table a hand snakes around my waist holding me up my head feels light and I feel my knees give in and sodenly i feel the wood of the floor rushing up to meet me.
"Elaine!" My head feels flurry and my eyes aren't focusing, everything is a blur of blue lights and white walls "Elaine please wake up!" Someone is shaking my shoulders but I can barely feel their touch like I'm coated in bubble wrap.
"Thomas?" I whisper forcing the sound out of my cracked lips.
"Ava's gone crazy she knows what you did!" That breaks through. I try and focus on his face but it's swimming in and out of focus.
"Thomas... listen to me," I try and sit up but I'm strapped to a bed, tubes coming out of my arms and legs. "If she finds out you had anything to do with it she will send you into the maze trails too."
"Too?" He questions looking towards the doors as if he is waiting for someone to open them.
"If she already knows.. I'm finished here, she will certainly send me into the maze." I say I look to Thomas he is frowning at the floor and tapping his fingers on his bicep.
"But your her daughter?" Thomas questions his eyes meeting mine.
"It's not like she would notice me if I was there. as long as her precious Teresa is." I say bitterly the venom in my words palpable.
