Eleanor - TMR Story

ii - gorgeous

She really was gorgeous. Her doe-like eyes were closed, breathing hitching and quiet. Her pink lips were in a somewhat neutral expression, if not slightly contorted in pain. She was so small. I swooped her up into my arms in one swift action, she weighed almost nothing, I gave Ben a nod, we had a mutual feeling that this girl could cause no harm, in fact she could be the puzzle piece we have been missing. I looked down at the girl in my arms, a weird urge to protect her washed over me. Suddenly her eyelids fluttered, revealing two crystal blue, hypnotizing eyes staring up at me. Not saying a word she buried her head into my chest, whimpering in pain. I held her close, clinging her body like no tomorrow. We finally reached the glade, and I ran towards Clint and Jeff, our med-jacks, briefly explaining all that had happened. I ran to the med-shack with her still bundled up and lay her on the makeshift bed. Ben had gone to find Newt and Alby, shuck, they're gonna be pissed. I'd almost forgotten about the new greenie, a kinda tall brunette kid, he had the same small nose and eye shape as her, maybe they were related? His name was Thomas, as he had announced very loudly last night after Gally had shown him who's boss at the campfire. 

"Tom?" The girl managed to say in a strained, pained voice. "Where's Tom?!"

"Hey, Hey, Calm down, listen I'm Minho, take a deep breath,"

"Where...am I? Where's Tom?"

"Your...um" Minho paused looking at the frightened girl, struggling to explain. "You're safe, and who's Tom?"

"My big brother, Thomas, he's the only thing  I can remember, that and my name,"

Minho paused again looking at the girl with sad eyes, as she fell into a coughing fit. Then an angry looking Alby, and anxious looking Newt and Thomas rushed into the room. Scaring the life out of the girl, she curled up into a ball and threw a blanket over her head, visibly shaking.

"Really, you stupid shanks, scaring her,"

"Who is this?!" Alby shouted, a small yelp came from under the blanket.

"Alby, calm down, she's weak and frightened, don't treat her like every other greenie," Newt pleaded, feeling pity for her.

Thomas looked visibly shocked, he walked over to the bed and whispered something, the girl lifted the blanket and looked directly at Thomas, before her engulfed her into a massive bear hug.

Thomas

It was her, as soon as I heard that tiny yelp I knew it was Elly, my baby sister, well I doubt there was much age between us, but still. I wrapped my arms around her, clinging onto the only other thing I remembered. She was so skinny, so weak. It was heartbreaking seeing her like this, pale-skined and ill. She rested her head on my shoulder, tears streaming down both our faces, making our cheeks puffy and red. I told her it was all going to be okay, we were going to be okay, this was more for my sake more than hers though. 

"I can't believe it's you," Eleanor managed to say, whispering into Thomas' chest, whimpering quietly. "I love you Tom,"

"Love you to Elly" Thomas smiled, holding her tight, stroking her tangled curly hair.

"Well, hate to interupt this reunion, but what the shuck is going on,"
