Hello readers! My first FanFic of 2016. Warning contains foul language and rape. Also underage drinking. Enjoy!
Joel sighed as he and Tommy enjoyed a nice bottle of whiskey they had found on their last hunt. "Ya know it seems strange how just a year ago that Tess was offering me a drink just like this one and I refused her. Man if I knew back then what would happen later that day I defiantly would've taken the fucking drink." Joel downed the rest of the liquid in his glass. Tommy smiled at his brother. Talking about Tess always got Joel upset. The younger brother didn't know the exact details of her death but he knew that she had gotten bit and Joel refused to say anymore on it. "Jeez are you two getting drunk again? Don't you have any other way of bonding?" Maria asked as she poured herself a small glass of the amber liquid. Joel smirked and refilled his glass. "Trust me Maria there are a lot of different ways me and Tommy could be bonding but were way too tired to be doing any of it. Like hunting down infected or building the smoke house but the smoke house we plan on doing tomorrow right little brother?" Joel questioned the man sitting next to him.
The blonde looked to her husband for an answer and he only nodded. The smoke house had been Joel's idea on how to preserve meats for winter and to make them taste good in the process. Right now most meats were preserved in salt and snow when they had it. "Just don't get too drunk tonight Honey or I won't be wearing that special gift you found for me." Maria lightly threatened and sat on Tommy's lap. Sipping his drink Tommy chuckled and held the blonde woman close. "Don't worry baby I don't plan on it. Hey Joel don't drink the whole bottle tonight." Tommy laughed while finishing his drink. The Fifty year old man glared at his forty-five year old brother then chuckled. "I make no such promises Tommy it's been much too long since I had a drink this good. Besides Ellie isn't gonna be home tonight she's spending the night at Jenny's." Joel said as he took a large swing from his glass. Maria glanced at Tommy then sipped her drink. "God how do you drink this so easily it burns." The blonde coughed violently.
Tommy chuckled and rubbed her back. "You get used to it Darling. Me and the old man are used to it from Texas. The whiskey is always strong." The man tried to reassure his wife. Joel watched them for a few minutes than looked away. He missed his Ex-Wife Mary-Anne. That dumb whore left when Sarah was only three. She left because she couldn't hack it as a mother. That left Joel to raise Sarah on his own. He had Tommy helping him otherwise he might not have been able to raise his baby girl. "Oh would you two just get a room already." The older man couldn't help but saying. Tommy noticed a slight edge to his brothers' voice. "Come on Maria lets go home. I wanna see you in that special number I got ya. I'll see ya early in the morning Joel have fun with the Whiskey." Tommy said as he picked up his wife and carried her out of the house.
Ellie entered the room minutes after they left. "God what is that smell?" The teen asked. Joel glanced at his adopted daughter. A month after they joined Tommy's group Joel officially adopted Ellie. "It's called Whiskey and why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with Jenny tonight?" Joel asked. The redhead teen sat down in the seat Tommy was using before and answered the man's question. "I was but her parents kicked me out. They've been fighting and they thought it wasn't it a good idea that I be over incase things got physical. Which it has happened before." Joel nodded and finished his drink. The pair had been there only six months and it was now Fall. The town had been made aware of Ellie's immunity and the reaction was what Maria expected. Most of them accepted it but there had been a few skeptics at first but soon they came around.
"So since you can't stay with Jenny do you have any other plans for tonight?" The Fifty year old asked as he refilled his glass. The Fourteen year old undid her ponytail and leaned back. "Nah I figured I'd just hang around with you." Ellie said getting comfy. Joel nodded and sipped his drink. Only Tommy knew that the next day was Joel's birthday. Joel already told his brother that he wanted nothing for his birthday. No celebrations, no wishing him a Happy Birthday and not to tell anyone else when his birthday was. Especially Ellie. "Well I plan on getting drunk tonight so I probably ain't the best person to be around right now." Joel warned her. She just smiled and got even more comfy in her chair. The older man could tell she wasn't planning on leaving any time soon. "Mind if I join you then?" Ellie asked picking up Tommy's empty glass then reached for the bottle. Joel pulled the bottle out of her reach. "Not under my watch. This stuff is too strong for a beginner like you." Joel answered refilling his glass. Ellie glared at him and snatched the bottle. The redhead poured herself a small portion then gave the bottle back.
"I've drunken beer before ya know." Ellie stated talking a sip. The alcohol burned in her throat and she went into a violent coughing fit. Joel stood up and patted her back till it passed. "Hey I warned you. Whiskey is very strong stuff." He rubbed her back. Ellie nodded and poured herself a full glass. The dark haired man looked at her in shock. "It burned like fucking Hell but it tasted good and seriously what's wrong with me having a glass or two?" The redhead asked as she took a small sip. Joel smiled and sipped his own drink. He didn't really see the problem since she would be staying home with him and he could drink quite a bit before he showed signs of actually being drunk. The pair spent the next hour drinking. The bottle was finished and Ellie was giggling like crazy. "Joel am I full on drunk?" Hiccupped the redhead teen. "No baby girl you're just tipsy if you were drunk you'd be acting much different." The older man answered.
Ellie got up and sat on his lap. The redheaded teen snuggled against the older man. "Joel you were the only one never to abandon me. Sure you tired last Fall but you stuck with me anyway. You're fucking better than Marlene." Ellie said resting her head against his chest. Joel smiled and ran his fingers through her hair. "I'll never leave you baby girl. Not as long as I'm alive." The dark brunette said. And meant every single fucking word. Ellie looked up at him and she could tell by the moisture threatening to fall from the corner of his eye that he was very serious.
Soon the girl had fallen asleep and Joel was carrying her up to their bed. They shared out of habit of always sleeping next to each other. Plus it kept Ellie's nightmares from bothering her. It hasn't even been a full year since the incident with David and his group. The event had been so traumatic for the young teen that it left her with deep emotional scars. Joel put her down and tucked her in. "I'll be right back baby girl I just wanna change into my sweats." The man left and went into the adjoining bathroom. He came back a few minutes later and Ellie was gone. Joel panicked. He had to find Ellie. Just as he opened the bedroom door he saw Ellie coming out of her room. "Jesus Joel you fucking scared the shit out of me. I just went to change out of my clothes." Ellie said. She was wearing a pair of shorts and one of Joel's flannel shirts. Joel sighed and pulled the girl into his arms. "Then why didn't you say something? I was worried that something had happened to you." The much older man expressed. It wasn't easy for a man like him to say something like that.
The redhead chuckled and patted his arm then headed back into their room. Ellie had her own room but she never really used it. She only used it when she was mad at Joel. This was very rare that she was pissed at him. Joel followed her and tossed off his flannel shirt and put on a short sleeve shirt instead. Ellie's eyes wandered to the scar on the man's lower abdominal area. "I seriously thought I was gonna lose you when that happened. It was so bad and you lost so much blood. If I hadn't gotten the antibiotics you might've died from infection." Ellie said. She had told Joel how she had gotten the medicine and how she had met David. Joel was very impressed that she had taken down a deer in only two shots with a bow and arrow. He was also grateful that she had saved his life. If it wasn't for her brave heroics then he was not be here right now. Joel owed his life to Ellie. The pair lay down on the bed and cuddled close under the blanket. It was mid-November and it was turning very cold out. Last Fall had been horrible with not finding the Fireflies at the College but what made it worse was that Joel had gotten a near fatal injury. The duo fell asleep to the sound of each other's breathing. It was a comforting sound to both of them.
The next morning Maria came over to get Ellie. They two of them were heading to a nearby small town to look for supplies like ammo, medicine and anything useful that they can use. It wasn't often that Maria went hunting but when she did she only went with a select few. Mostly she went with Tommy but she enjoyed the alone time with Ellie and she trusted Joel enough that she went with him once. "Are you sure you ladies don't want me and Joel to come with you?" Tommy asked for the millionth time. He had a bad feeling about them going alone. Something just didn't feel right sending them off. Joel had the same feeling but had chosen not to speak up about it. "Tommy if you ask again you'll be sleeping outside tonight." Maria never made idle threats. Ellie loaded her pistol and her hunting rifle. She also grabbed her bow and arrow set. "Ellie you be careful out there." Joel said as he patted Ellie on the shoulder. "Don't worry Joel we'll be fine and back in a few days." Ellie promised hugging Joel.
The older blonde smiled at them and hugged her husband. "We'll return in two days. You and Joel are in charge." Kissing Tommy on the cheek Maria left with Ellie in tow. Joel looked at his brother and put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry little brother. There two of the toughest females I know. Tess was the other one. Now let's go build that smoke house while we still have some day light." The older brother suggested. Even though it was only eight in the morning they had had a limited number of hours before it got dark. Tommy nodded and they headed off for the town square to get the materials needed for building the smoke house.
Several miles away in Morgan, Wyoming. Damien was loading his weapon. "Has she been spotted?" He asked. The woman next to him looked up from her nails. She was a middle aged woman in her late fifties. "Yes darling she was with an older lady. A blonde I think. You should head out soon if you wanna catch them." Marla answered. Damien grabbed his machete and his guns. Nodding he left the room and gathered a group of ten men. The group left and headed west towards Jackson. Marla watched from the doorway praying for her lovers' safe return.
Back in the woods surrounding Jackson Ellie and Maria had just made it to the top of a large hillside. "That's one steep hill. Wasn't there a path around it?" Ellie asked panting. Maria adjusted her gun on her shoulder and answered. "I think so but it would take an extra day just to go around and find it. Let's catch our breath for a minute then we'll be on our way." The redhead nodded as she sat on a rock. She could understand where Maria was coming from about saving time. They had a deadline of when they would return. They caught their breathe quickly. "Alright I'm ready." Ellie said gathering her weapons. The pair set out. After an hour they saw a small pack of rabbits. Ellie drew her bow and kneeled on one knee. Drawing back the arrow she let it fly and it hit the largest one in the bunch. "Nice shot that should be a nice meal as we walk. I'll start a fire so we can cook it." Maria said had she gathered some branches. Ellie went over and collected her kill and her arrow.
As the teenager was making her way back to her friend she had the strangest sensation that she was being watched and not by Infected. "Hey Maria do you think that Joel or Tommy followed us?" Ellie asked pulling her switchblade out. She had skinned rabbits before and she knew what she was doing. The older blonde looked at her then went back to making a fire. "No they wouldn't go that far. Tommy and Joel have the camp to run. They wouldn't abandon their responsibilities just to come follow us because their worried." Maria answered. Ellie nodded and started cutting the rabbit to roast over the fire. Spearing the meat on sticks and putting them over the fire. All that was left to do was wait for it to cook. Ellie looked around. She still had a feeling she was being watched. Maria sighed and turned the meat. "Ellie no one is watching us. It's just us out here I promise." Ellie wasn't convinced but she let it go.
Elton cursed himself under his breath. He almost got spotted by the brat. "Damien how much longer till you get here man? The brat is getting suspicious that she's being watched." He said over the radio. There was a lot of static over the radio but it sounded like Damien said he his ETA would be over two hours. Elton nearly started screaming till he remembered his mission was to track the girl and her guardian.
Maria took the meat off the fire and put some of it into clothe bags that she bought to carry it in. One bag was for Ellie and the other for herself. "Alright let's head out we can eat while we walk." The blonde said as she spread dirt to put out the fire. Ellie nodded and got up. The pair left with Elton following fifteen feet behind them. His job was to follow them and report back to Damien. If he was going to kidnap Ellie then he needed to know her whereabouts. "Damien their heading for that town where you set the Clicker hoard trap. What should I do about this?" The stalker whispered into his radio. Damien pondered this for a few moments then responded. "Let them get in but do not let Clickers bite the kid. She's useless to me if she gets infected. The blonde could get ripped apart for all I care about." Damien needed Ellie to get revenge for his brother David. He promised that he'd avenge his older brothers' senseless murder and the murder of his brothers' whole colony.
Upon reaching the town it was nearly dark. Ellie and Maria could hear Clickers. It sounded like a group of thirty or so. "Jeez I hate Clickers. They are such a pain in the ass. Let's set up camp in one of the houses. Maybe by some miracle we can avoid the fucking things." Ellie whispered to Maria. Maria peaked around the wall of a building and she could see about ten Clickers. Pulling out her shotgun she whispered to Ellie. "Maybe we can sneak past them. Be very careful Ellie." Crouching down the pair slowly snuck past the Clickers. They made it to a small house but inside there was five or six Clickers. It would be easy to sneak kill them but it might alert the Infected outside. Maria looked at Ellie and back outside. It was a tough decision. Outside a bottle could be heard smashing and all the Clickers in the house screeched and ran past them to get to the sound. Ellie quickly crafted a Molotov and threw it at the hoard of Infected. Most of them caught ablaze.
There was a slight explosion near the house. It had come from a Bloater. Maria lifted her shotgun and open fired on the larger Infected. The redhead teen crafted another Molotov and tossed it at the Bloater. The thing ignited in a burst of flames. Clickers came running from every direction. Maria and Ellie took out a majority of them but a few had their head explode randomly. It seemed more like someone was snipping them. Putting one more bullet in the Bloaters stomach it fell to the ground in a smoking pile of rotten flesh. Elton smiled from his spot on the roof with his snipper rifle. Ellie could see him and she had a feeling that she seen him before. The dirty blonde haired man jumped down and made his way over to them. "Are both of you alright?" Elton asked putting the rifle on his shoulder. Maria looked to Ellie who nodded. "Yes we're both fine. Thank you for the help. I'm Maria this is Ellie." Maria answered. Elton offered his hand to both of them and Maria shook it. Ellie hesitated before shaking his hand as well. "I'm Elton. I have a strong hold further in town if you'd like to join me. More Infected will be arriving soon. It's best if we're not caught outside." The man suggested. There was something about Elton that Ellie just couldn't put her finger on. Something was off about this guy.
"We'd love to. We've been walking all day. Lead the way." Maria said. The trio headed for the center of town. "So do you live here all by yourself?" Ellie asked picking up a brick. She put it in the side pocket of her backpack. Elton noticed it out of the corner of his eye. He had to play it cool for now. It would end badly if he gave himself away. "No I live with a few others but right now they're out hunting and should be back in another hour or two." Elton answered. Maria looked around. The town was very creepy and looked like something right out of a horror movie. It unsettled her and she hated that feeling. "So where are you two lovely ladies from?" Elton asked. He pushed open a metal door and held it for them. Maria and Ellie squeezed in and the twenty-something pushed the door back closed. "We're from Jackson. We left to hunt for supplies and don't get any funny ideas buster I'm married." Maria answered sitting at the only table in the room.
Elton chuckled and said. "Don't worry. I prefer men anyway. So I won't be making any advances on you." Ellie looked around the small house. It was cozy for its location. "Hey do you have a bathroom?" Ellie asked. The dirty blonde pointed down the hall. The redhead nodded and headed for the restroom. Maria pulled out her guns and reloaded them. It never hurt to be prepared. Elton pulled out his radio and called Damien. "Hey man are you on the way back yet? I helped two lovely ladies and we're waiting in the hide out." Damien smirked and turned to his men. "Elton is a smart son of a bitch. He lured them into a false sense of security." The other man chuckled and killed more Infected. Elton's voice came over the radio again. "Damien you copy man?" The man sounded concerned. "I'm here man. We should arrive in an hour as soon as we kill these fucking runners." Damien said into the radio.
Maria listened closely to the conversation. It seemed almost strange that they had a radio to communicate back and forth. They looked Military issue as well. Ellie came back from the bathroom. She had not heard the conversation Elton had with Damien. "The rest of my group should be along soon. Their all good shots and can pick through a hoard of Runners easily." Elton said as he opened a can of chili and turned on the hot plate. He poured the food into the pot and stirred it. Maria had a feeling that Elton was not in charge. "So who's the leader you or this Damien guy?" Maria asked. Elton looked over at the older woman. He smiled sweetly and answered. "Damien but when he's not around I take over." Going over to the cabinet he got three bowls and three spoons.
Back in Jackson Joel pulled Tommy to his feet. "Man little brother you haven't changed at all. You're still the same klutz as when we were kids." Joel joked. Tommy glared at the older man in front of him. Tommy had been working on the roof of the smoke house and fell off while trying to grab the box of nails before they hit the ground. The younger man dusted off his pants and said. "Well you're the same dick you always were." Smirking the brother shoved each other playfully. Both of them still had a bad feeling about Ellie and Maria. But it only got worse as the day dragged on. Mike walked over and grabbed Joel's shoulder. "Hey Joel can you come help me fix a hole in the fence?" He asked. The fifty year old nodded and followed Mike towards the fence. The hole was big enough for a Runner to crawl through if noticed. Joel welded another piece of chain-link to the fence. Tommy watched but something in his gut told him that Maria was in danger. He loved that woman and didn't want anything to happen to her. He knew it was the exact opposite of what Maria would want him to do but he had to go find his wife.
Damien entered the town and smiled. "Ah finally that brat is just within my grasp. David I'll make sure you didn't die for nothing. Same for you James." The group moved further into town. A clicker came out and ran at Damien. The older man lifted his rifle and blew it's brains all over the place. Ellie and Maria looked up at the sound of a gunshot. Elton chuckled and said. "Ah we must've missed a Clicker and by the sounds of it Damien just killed it." Ellie laid back down then she noticed a photo. Picking it up she gasp in horror. It was of David, Damien James and Elton. Damien and David are a set of twins while James and Elton were also a set of twins. She knew there was something about Elton she didn't like about Elton. She remembers James and that she slammed the butcher knife into the side of his face killing him. Maria looked over to Ellie and noticed that she was pale. "Ellie what's wrong?" The older blonde asked the teenage girl. Elton pulled open the large metal door and Damien entered. "Maria he's David's twin. Get down!" Ellie yelled as Elton shot Maria in the side.
Damien kicked Ellie in the stomach as she reached for her weapons. "Don't even think about it you fucking brat. Oh this must be the blonde. I need you to relay a message to that fucking jackass Joel. If he wants Ellie back he'll have to come find her. Let's go boys." Damien said as he grabbed Ellie and hit her on the back of the head knocking her unconscious. Maria grabbed her pistol. Elton stepped on her hand and took the gun. "I don't think so bitch. Good luck making it back to Jackson without attracting Infected or bleeding to death." The group stole all of Maria and Ellie's guns, ammo and any other supplies they had. Maria glared at Elton and pulled him down. She crawled on top of him and started beating him. She got a few good hits in before she was pulled off. "Ya know what boys why don't you have a little fun with her before we leave." Damien suggested as he pulled Elton to his feet. The men nodded and dragged Maria off to a back bedroom.
Maria screamed as they tore off her clothes. One of them pushed themselves into her vagina while another pushed into her ass. A third forced his prick into her mouth. They were all grabbing at her breasts and forcing her hands onto their crotches. Maria cried as they violated her. They all took turns throughout the night raping her. By morning the older woman was a crying and bloody mess. Her gunshot would had stopped bleeding but it still hurt like Hell. At first light the group set out with an unconscious Ellie in tow. Tommy arrived in town only moments after. He saw the group leaving but he never saw the leader or Ellie. "Crap Hunters I hope Maria and Ellie are alright." The brunette whispered as he snuck deeper into the town. Maria was crawling out of the house they left her in. She had found some clothes in the dressers so she was able to at least cover her body. "Ellie I have to get back and get Joel." She was weak and could only crawl. But Maria was determined to get back to Jackson and get help. "Maria!" Tommy yelled.
