Ellie's POV
"How long do we still have to walk?" I asked exhaused.
"Just two miles more." Joel answered slightly annoyed.
I sighed heavily. We were now walking for maybe … four hours without a rest. This city is actually the safest place. Well … Maria had said that. No Clickers, no Runners, only maybe a few infected people. No big deal.
I was tired. I had not sleep so well last night and the nights before. Since we got back from the fireflies I feel … well different. Whatever. I sat down on a box which stood on the street and the first green grew up at the box.
"C'mon, Ellie. It's not that far." Joel pushed me.
"We walk now for four hours, can't just make a damn break?"
"We can't. Tommy wants us to find food as fast as possible." He turned around.
"Well why didn't you went then alone?"
He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Here we go again …" He whispered, but I still heard him.
I put my bag on my lap and picked up the water bottle. It was almost empty.
I sighed and drunk the rest of the water. I heard a car or something like that. I closed the bottle.
"What is th-" I was interrapted as Joel graped my arm and ran with me inside a buliding. We hide behind a wall and a car, I guess a Hammer drove passed us.
"That's why we need to move on." He said with his dark voice. I hate it when he talks like that. He is than so … pretty serious. Whatever. I put the bottle back in my bag. We searched in the house for gate, food and stuff.
I was pretty sure that the others in that Hammer killed all infected people around here. I saw some clickers bounded with the wall. They became one with the nature … Or more the bulding. Still weird to see.
"Did you find something?" yelled Joel and brought me back to reality.
"Not yet!"
"Then hurry up!"
I sighed and walked the floor down. I found a dead body and walked over to him. I searched for gates and found a few for my weapon. I but the rest in my bag and went back to the stairs. I heard a noice from behind but I thought it could just be an animal or something.
"Ellie!" Joel shouted angry.
"Calm down, old man! I'm coming." I yelled back.
I reached the stairs and walked them down. I turned around in the other room and saw Joel searching after something in his bag.
"Ready?" I asked to annoy him a little bit.
He just laughed short and put his bag back on his back. We left the house after making sure the others were gone.I threw my arms forth and back beside my body. I was pretty bored. Well I am it always when we do stuff like … this.
Fighting just makes more fun in a way. We walked down the street until we reached a very old looking house.
"That this bulding still stands is a wonder." Joel said.
"Why that?"
"It was build I guess … As my grandparents live." He said.
"Haha."
He suddenly looked at me. Something at his look told me I remind him on … her. Sarah.
"Sorry." I said direct. "I did not want to sound li-"
"It's okay, Ellie. Let's get inside." He said and I nodded with a small sigh of relief.
You have to be very careful if you do or say something about or like Sarah had. He had said once she would have like me. I would like to meet her, … if she was still alive. I guess I would have liked her as well.
The old building looked like a government building. I don't know how many dead bodys lay around here. It smells really, really nice. Joel puts on his gas-mask. He looked pretty stupid with that thing. I almost laughed again.
The nature took back what was actually his and the building had no roof anymore and the sun shined on the green water at the ground. Flowers and stuff were on the wall. It looked really nice.
I walked up some stairs and reached a little office.
I saw a camera laying on a table and took it. I tried to activated it and was really surprised as it worked. The video was about the day where it had all started. The first infected people. Joel has to see this, I thought.
I turned around and was about to say something, but I only could bring out.
"Joel, I fou- Argh!"
Someone had beat me with a handle of his gun at my forhead. I fall to the ground, on my back and the camera fall out of my hand. I fall unconscious.
Joel's POV"Joel, I fou- Argh!" I heard Ellie been interrapted by something.
"Ellie?" I asked.
I heard someone fall to the ground.
"Ellie!" I yelled and ran up the stairs. I rain towards the room where she had been and saw her laying on the ground. She was bleeding at her forhead.
I sighed in relief as I felt her regulary pulse. I heard someone behind me and turned around. I blocked his attack with my arm and used the old baseball bat and struck at him. He fall to the ground after 5 hits.
I heard more coming. I picked Ellie up and saw the camera besind her hand. I put it in my back and picked her up. I walked down the stairs and heard the car nearby. I ran or more jogged faster. I jogged around a corner. I stopped as a woman stood there.
Her gun was aimed at my head. More people surrounded me.
"Drop her." she ordered. But I did not. I hold Ellie close.
"Now!" she yelled and load the gun. I said and sat Ellie carefully on the ground and leaned her against the wall. I hold my hands high and felt the beat of a gun at the back of my head before I fall unconscious to the ground.
