(Ender)

"It's been two days! Why isn't she waking up?" I ask.

Petra checks Elena's IV. "Everything is fine, Ender. She'll wake up.. Eventually." Petra places a reassuring hand on my shoulder before checking on Bean.

I hold tightly onto Elena's hand. I think about everything she's told me, and I thought I had it had. She shouldn't have had to suffer the way she had.

"I finally figured out why she's not waking up." Petra strides up besides me. "I was so blind." Petra shakes her head as she gets t work. I watch as she carefully pull out Elena's IV's.

"What are you doing?" I stand as Petra takes Elena's hand from mine.

Ignoring me, Petra grabs a scalpel. "All we need is to pull out the pouch."

"The pouch?" I take Elena's hand again.

"When the scorpion stung her, it releases a poison pouch into the victims body. If we carefully pull it out, we can save her."
