Elaine
_________________________
The room is cold and dark, I feel pain on my chest like something is pressing down so I can't breathe, i look around me, my arms and legs are strapped down to the table I'm on, i groan and blink trying to clear the drug induced haze that makes me feel sick.
"Ellie..." my eyes widen slightly and look frantically around the room "Ellie." I don't remember the last time someone called me Ellie it was something my sister called me when we were kids.
"T?" I ask I can't see her anywhere but I can't feel her presence in the room.
"I-I need you to know that I never... I never wanted this." Her voice is always soft but right now it's almost like she is pleading with me like I have to know.
"Wanted what?" I ask my eyebrows furrowed.
"You to be like this...in pain... I never thought... I- you know your being sent into the maze for what you did right?" Her voice breaks and I can tell she is crying by the way she occasionally sniffles I nod once
"I know. And if it's what Ava has to do to make an example of me or whatever... then that's fine because I did what i thought was right." My words are firm but the tone of my voice and the slight shake when I say the last words gives me away.
"You know, our mother- our real mother, our brith mother, she always told me that 'there is no such thing as a wrong choice it's just perspective on if it's wrong or not' and I always hated it but it's exactly what I want to say to you Elaine... I understand why you did it."
"You know Teresa this is the first time you have even mentioned our mom in years..." I say I want to see her, talking to her and not seeing her is a lot harder than i thought it would be and I'm not even sure why.
"Maybe we should have talked about her more..."
"Do you think I'll ever see you again? Once I get sent into the maze?" I question my eyes lining with tears.
"I don't know... but what I do know is that your my sister, and no matter what you are my blood and I will always, always love you." Her voice is quiet almost hesitant
"I love you too."

My eyes snap open and I look around me not knowing where I am for a minute until I remember I'm in the pit, I look around the small cage in the earth swing Thomas asleep in a corner, the sun is coming up.
Teresa... the new girl?.... My sister?
