"sophia?" hanna barged into sophia's bedroom while she was searching through the clothing catalog.
"what han?" sophia seemed distracted at the beautiful dresses she was looking for.
"can we please go to the park?" hanna fake frowned so sophia would do whatever she asks.
"hanna really?" sophia fell into her pillow and stared at the ceiling.
"please sophia." hanna gave her best puppy eyes and sophia looked at her and back up then groaned.
"fine, but i'm not falling for that again." sophia grabbed her shoes and walked out the door.
"yeah okay." hanna rolled her forest green eyes and followed sophia out the door.
sophia held hanna's hand and they both walked  down the street to the park. they're were a lot of kids there since it was a beautiful day here in manhattan. sophia opened the gate and hanna let go of her and ran into the park towards her friends. hanna was quite popular especially in the park since she was amazing at making friends. hanna learned that from her older sister and sophia had no idea that she was hanna's role model. there was a big crash on the road behind the park and sophia looked behind her, shocked. she was in the heat of the moment that she totally kept her eyes off of hanna. as soon as the ambulances came sophia went to look for hanna. she pushed through last a bunch of people video taping the crash, she couldn't find her baby sister.
"hanna!" she yelled but didn't get a response.
"hanna! this isn't funny!"
she caught sight of men in suits holding her sister unconscious. she ran to them and hit one of them over the head with a piece of wood. the guys cracked his neck and turned around.
"bad girl sophia." he grabbed her by the collar and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
sophia tried her hardest to fight but the chemical got the best of her. the guy threw sophia over his shoulder and carried them both into the "ambulance."
they were both driven to riverdale, pennsylvania to the abandoned department of energy which was used in the 80's most likely around hawkins, virginia. they entered the building and placed both of the girls on chairs and then tied them down. they put brain activity nets around their hair and connected them to the computer systems that the boss used.
"boss it's done." one of the men said to a man in an office chair.
"good, let's begin." clarke turned his chair around and pulled down the lever.

"merry early christmas." sophia cheerfully handed her little sister neatly wrapped box.
"thanks soph." hanna smiled and tore the wrapping paper then ripped open the box.
it revealed a box full of art supplies that hanna's been drooling over. a smile spread across hanna's face from ear to ear. she jumped on sophia and embraced her.
hanna grabbed an embroidered box that was obviously from macy's and had a sticker with sophia's name on it.
"this is for you." hanna smiled and carefully handed over the box to sophia.
sophia smiled down at her little sister and opened the box lightly. it was a beautiful necklace with twinkling diamonds around it. the first thought that came to mind was, "how the hell did a seven year old afford this?"
"han, how did you-how?" sophia's voice hesitated and she was speechless at the necklaces beauty.
"it was grandma's and mom said i could give it to you as a christmas present." hanna smiled as her green eyes twinkled.
"oh hanna i love you." sophia grabbed her sister and held her close.
"i love you too soph but i can't breathe."

sophia opened my eyes and she was in a tank by myself and it was warm. she felt weight on top of my head and she was wearing like a fishbowl on my head that was a thousand pounds. she banged on the glass and kept banging and banging until the shuttle opened. it revealed multiple doctors either walking around, writing on a clipboard and talking to a guy with a black lab coat on which she's never seen before. she looked around and it was just a tank and her eyes looked in every direction but she couldn't see anything else beyond it. she noticed that she was dressed in a nude swimsuit with four giant magnets on it. sophia kept banging on the glass but they weren't paying any attention to me.
"hey, where's my sister you freaks?!" sophia screamed but her voice just echoed inside this fishbowl.
she grabbed the fishbowl on top of my head and pulled it off. the monitors flatlined since she couldn't breathe underwater obviously. sophia held my breath until she reached her breaking point and as soon as they pulled me out of the water sophia felt the water come out of my throat. my vision was blurry but she felt like was being carried out of this laboratory. sophia could hear screaming and machines whirring but she swore that she could hear hanna screaming her name but she was too vulnerable to help her.
