Can You Not Get The Shucking Message?

Emily's heart pounded. The closer she got to the girl in the doorway, the faster it would beat. Sand blew into her face and the sounds of her breathing were all she could hear. She arrived at the entrance and took a deep breath. Her heart was palpitating at its fastest. It felt like the first time she ran into the maze.

The inside of the building was dark and cool, which was refreshing compared to  the scorching heat outside. She was in what she thought was the middle of the building and inhaled again. Emily closed her eyes and listened. Teresa had moved away from the door when her sister was nearing her. Emily wasn't sure where Teresa went but she could hear her sister's breaths in the darkness.

Teresa wouldn't hurt me. She thought. Right?

"Yo Teresa? Please don't scare me. I love you and you're my sister but I swear on Minho's hair I will shucking --"

A candle on a table 'magically' lit and Emily could see everything in the small room. When she looked to the person beside the candle, her heart skipped a beat. It was Teresa. She didn't look like she'd gone through anything serious. She looked clean and normal, like when they were in the WICKED facility. Teresa remained silent and stared motionlessly at Emily's feet. The single flame was flickering and tears were falling down Teresa's rosy cheeks.

Emily spoke up, timidly. "Teresa?" She took step forward but Teresa stepped back and put her hands up as if she was defending herself.

"Don't come any closer to me!" She yelled at Emily.

Inside, a part of Emily cracked. Why was her sister acting like this? She observed Teresa some more and noticed her expression was very similar to when Gally was being controlled. Emily frowned, she knew her sister was strong. Why wasn't Teresa fighting it?

As if Teresa listened to her sister's thoughts, she lunged to Emily and wrapped her arms around her. The twins hugged in silence. Emily could feel her sister's cold tears splashing onto her neck. Minutes later, Teresa pulled away, holding onto Emily's shoulders with a strong grip.

"Em, you have to get away from me. Understand? You guys can't be near me. Don't trust Thomas. I love you. Go. Run. Please." Teresa's neck strained with the last few words. A vein on her forehead was visible. She clutched her head and kneeled down, looking to the ground.

Emily's eyes watered. She knew she couldn't stay or else something horrible could happen. She slowly walked backwards to the door as she watched her sister on the ground in pain. She bolted out of the room and her feet were running on top of sand. The tears in her eyes blurred her vision but she kept on running straight. Emily covered her mouth, keeping in the sobs in her throat, as the image of Teresa struggling replayed in her head. She was halfway to the boys when she stopped in her tracks. Emily wiped the tears from under her eyes and looked back at the building. The glow of the candlelight was gone and it was if nothing was inside.

Hoping that Teresa could hear her, Emily spoke telepathically to her twin.

"I love you too. I promise I will find you. I promise that we'll see each other again."

The gladers trekked in complete silence. When Emily came back she had refused to talk to anyone, even Newt. The girl distanced herself from everyone, making sure she stayed in the back. Newt tried to comfort her, multiple times, but she turned him away each time.

"Hey. You okay, man?" Thomas asked the blonde boy as he jogged to his side.

Newt looked to his friend with a gloomy look in his brown eyes. "I just... I'm trying to help Em... but I can't get her to talk to me. It feels like I'm drifting from her. Normally, she would tell me anything. I'm just bloody worried."

Thomas slung his arm over his friend's shoulder. "Don't worry. She'll come around soon. Let's hurry up before Minho starts spazzing at us."

Newt nodded and limped to the boys ahead.

The sun said goodbye and the moon came out to say hello. Stars smiled down at them as they set up camp. Emily sat on a hill, hugging her knees, and she stared at the moon. She knew that she shouldn't talk to Teresa as it might get her in trouble. She knew her sister was tough but she didn't want to be the person who triggered her punishment.

Thomas sat beside her and she turned to face him. His eyes shined in the moonlight.

"How're you doing?" he asked.

She looked down to her feet. "Fine."

He put his arm around her shoulder which caused her to shrug it off. The brunette frowned and asked another question. "What happened?"

Can this idiot not get the message? Emily heard her own voice in her head. It sounded annoyed and bitter. What's his problem? Emily clutched her head and whispered "Stop." over and over again. Thomas put his hands on her shoulders but before he could say anything, vexation filled Emily's mind.

"You shucking slinthead." She said in a low and threatening tone. "Can you not get the shucking message? Just leave --"

Thomas looked over his shoulder to see Newt watching them. With a sly smirk he faced Emily and grabbed her face with both hands. Taken aback by his actions, Emily's talking ceased. Before she could do anything, Thomas's lips connected with hers.
