CH.1

Joel and Ellie both wondered up the old cracked cement road finally reaching Jackson where Tommy was,Joel's brother who was suppose to know were the hospital is,the hospital that was suppose to be finding a cure for this unforgiving nightmare that had plagued the whole world in chaos. The road they were walking on suddenly came to a halt as Joel looked up to the edge of the sky seeing the remainder's of the black pavement,it collapsing probably as he though before looking to Ellie who looked back up at his grim face with a warm young smile.

"ok Ellie look's like were going up.." he said with a sigh,throwing his backpack over his other shoulder before cupping his hands for Ellie to step on,lifting her up as she griped a broken pipe that she though was to support the heavy roads,gripping another one to pull herself to the top.

Finally lifting her leg up she stood to her knees as she looked around,her pistol in her hands just encase a clicker or runner decided to jump her as she was helping Joel up,seeing it was clear for know she turned around and motioned for him to begin climbing with a flick of her finger,hauling herself up to her feet.

Ellie new from the loud sounds of joel's grunting that he was finally up to the top as well,crossing her arms before looking over her shoulder to the panting man behind her" wow Joel took ya long enough come ooonnn lets gooo" she said with a smile obviously happy and hyper about traveling to a new place,finally out of the dirt, insect infested forest and into the city.

Joel griped his rifle close as he followed Ellie's lead into the city,turning his head with every crack,crash or hiss of the building that were overly populated with plants that only took a few years to overpower. Ellie on the other hand started to hum or beat box as she skipped along the cracked road,looking around at everything that seemed to move.

Ellie...stop fooling around this is serious" Joel said at a loud whisper as the faint sounds of skidding footsteps got closer to there position,the duo not even noticing at the slightest."ok ok Joel i was just trying to entertain wile passing the time of boringly walking across the city to the hospital..."she said rather loudly holding her arm out in front of her before continuing her walk in front.

Peering eyes seemed to follow the moving pair as they continued there way down the highway that cut through the city, moving across the side of a flipped over bus to continue her watch"what do we have here.." she whispered to herself,looking around for a place to jump off wisping off behind another car a little closer,crouching to look through the passenger window. Scowling at the sight of a random decaying body that sat in the driver seat she moved slowly to a nother car"well that was just gross...i almost touched that.." she said with a flick of her hand" oh grate i'm talking to myself.. could this get any worse.."

The loud bang of a car door caught there attention as she looked over surprised and a little stunned of the fairly close noise,gripping the butt of her holstered pistol out of reflex seeing a herd of 4 figures staggering across the open road,the faint sounds of clicking soon coming into distance. "Shit..." she said before peering back at the duo who didn't even notice the herd of clickers behind them "god there so oblivious!" she said at a loud whisper before quickly running ahead of the two under the sigh of the cars before swinging up onto a fairly large truck trying to get there attention by waving her arms rapidly.

Joel continued to walk with the small kid in front of him, finally looking up to the moving figure as he shielded his eyes with his hand "what is tha..." He proceeded to say but ended up getting cut off by the loud scream of Ellie who gripped his hand before starting to sprint for the figure, the girl now slinking the rifle over her shoulder as she leveled it with the first clicker, sending a few rounds into the mutated head.

"Run!" Joel said as he started to get ahead of his partner almost to the point of dragging her across the road "i cant run that fast Joel" she managed to yell over her panting, skidding her feet across the ground as she almost tripped. "Joel!" she cried as she ended up tripping over her own foot, landing with a wince on the rough ground just as she was dragged right out of Joel's hands and into the hoard of clickers with a scream soon to be torn apart right before Joel's eyes.
