I could not let her die. I could not let my baby-girl die. Not again…
Most of you call me "insane." Some of you call me "selfish." While I may be these things, I am not what you would call "murderous." Yes, I have killed before, but that was for survival. Murder is when you kill an innocent, and Ellie was, in fact, innocent. She had not done anything to deserve this, yet death looms over her head like a dark cloud.
If I had let the Fireflies kill her, which, my friend, would have been murder. I may have acted selfishly, but it was for a good cause. Ellie was always by my side, no matter what. If I, myself, faced the once horrible nightmare but now pleasant relief of death, she would die with me. Do not get me wrong, I appreciate that she is giving her life. She is not giving her life for me, but for mankind as a whole, so that the world can go back to what it was before the dreadful apocalypse. All of this suffering and madness would end. So why can't I let go? You know what, I don't really know myself. Something just wasn't right. Ellie didn't deserve this, even if she did ask for it a countless amount of times. She will one day thank me.
But for now, my baby-girl is safe…
Sorry that this one is kind of short. Just one of those stories, you know? Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
