The Last Of Us Continues

by BellaTheZombieLover

Ellie and Joel are inseparable until Ellie finds out that Joel lied to her all this time. Six years later Ellie is 20 years old and only looks out for herself. Over the years she has gained almost super human abilities. But for Joel, he is now the leader of everything ever since his brother died. What will happen now? (Sorry, not very good at summaries)

1. Chapter 1

Previously on The Last of Us,

Joel helped Ellie up the mountain. He extended his arm down to her. "I gotcha." Joel continued to walk but he didn't hear Ellie's footsteps with him. Ellie paused behind Joel. She nervously tangled her hands together. "Hey, wait." Joel turned around to face Ellie. Ellie paused briefly and then sighed loudly. She turned around and then quickly turned back at Joel trying to force what she had to say, out. "Back in Boston-" Joel listened carefully. "Back when I was bitten. I wasn't alone. My best friend was there. And she got bit too. We didn't know what to do. So, she says, "Lets just wait it out. Y'know, we can be all poetic and just lose our minds together." I'm still waiting for my turn."

"Ellie-" Ellie cut Joel off, "Her name was Riley and she was the first to die. And then it was Tess. And then Sam." Joel butted in trying to convince her that everything's okay. "None of that is on you." Ellie replied, "You don't understand." Joel crossed his arms.

"I struggled for a long time survivin', And you... No matter what, you keep finding something to fight for. Now I know that's not what you want to hear right now, but it's-"

"Swear to me." Ellie said firmly. "Swear to me that everything that you said about the Fireflies is true." Joel took a little breath in after a long pause.

"I swear." After a moment of thinking Ellie spoke up.

"Okay."

6 Years Later...

"Catch that girl!" The guard yelled from behind Ellie. Ellie was obviously way faster than any guard in that city. Ellie sprinted with a sack of stolen goods from the rations. She quickly turned a corner and lost the guards.

"Damn it! We lost her again! We are gonna get killed if she keeps stealing the rations. What are we going to tell Joel?" Their voices slowly faded away as they walked towards the gates. Ellie leaped onto the stairs that lead up the side of the apartment building. Ellie put shelters everywhere for herself and no one else.

2 years ago, somewhere in the city...

"So Joel, today is my 18th birthday. Does the Big Leader have anything for me?" Joel smiled and grabbed a letter that had Ellie's name on it.

"Here. This letter was from Marlene. I found it on her desk. I didn't want to open it without you." Ellie grabbed the letter with joy. She ripped open the envelope. She slowly took out the letter and read it to herself.
