Ellie took off her bandanna that was used to cover her face. She unpacked the specific rations she stole onto an old table in her shelter. Because she is in the city Joel runs, she has a working fridge. Ellie keeps all lights off just in case someone spots her though. She took out canned corn, green beans, and peaches for dinner. Lastly, she had a chocolate cupcake for dessert. Usually Ellie wouldn't grab sweets but today was a special occasion. Ellie peeked out of her window to see where the sun was. Seemed to be about 5-6 in the evening. After Ellie ate she grabbed a candle and stuck it in the cupcake. She lit the candle with a match.

"Happy birthday to me." Ellie whispered. She closed her eyes for a long enough time to make a wish, and then blew out the candle. She took a bite out of the cupcake and realized it was stale. She threw out the cupcake and wanted to have some fun on her birthday night. She put on her bandanna And hopped out of her window with her bow, rifle, and knife. Ellie recently found a new backpack to replace her old one. She fell down the 4 story apartment building onto an awning below. Ellie lost most feeling in her feet by now. She ran to the corner of the alley where she was earlier that day and waited for her "prey". A handsome new guard was pushed by one of the other guards.

"Stop fooling around with your gun guard! Keep it up and maybe the she devil will get ya!" The other guard sounded drunk and older than 40. I think I might just go easy on this new guy, just mess with him a little bit. "Scan that alley why don't you!" The new guard walked over to my alley. I quietly climbed up onto the awning and sat down on it. He was right in front of her. She tossed an apple around in her hands.

"I don't know about she devil but she is a looker! I've seen her myself." I said while tossing my apple still.

"Who said that? Show yourself!" He said pointing his gun in all directions, shaking out of nervousness. Once he spoke I stopped tossing the apple, took a huge bite out of it, and slightly tossed it at him. "Over here buddy." He flashed his light at me. "Who are you?" He looked confused. I jumped off of the awning, landing in front of the guard and replied, "A friend. Since were friends, how old are you and what's your name friend?" I tried to get a conversation going with a person who actually hasn't gone insane yet. "My name's Samuel. I'm 19. Wait why are you asking me this?" Samuel... Sam...
