Chapter 2

A/N: I re-read this story decided to add another chapter to this story and thought that a version of Joel's reaction of finding Ellie's dead body. This chapter is going to be told through Joel's eyes. Enjoy this chapter!

I was walking through the town trying to find Ellie after I found out that she was gone. I noticed that there were plenty of men walking around looking for either something or someone.

I walked up behind slowly and quietly behind a couple of men and overheard one of them say "That girl sure gave us the slip."

The other one started to laugh "Yeah, But David is going to find her and make her sorry that she ever hurt him."

Just then they saw smoke coming from a restaurant in the town. They started to run in the direction of it. As soon as they got there, they ran inside to see if there was anybody in there. I just stood there and watched them. After a few minutes they came out carrying someone. I then decided to go in and see if there was anybody else in there. As soon as I got in there, I saw Ellie's unmoving body.

I ran over to her body and tried to wake her up, but she wouldn't move a muscle. I then picked her up, carried her outside and buried her in the snow. "I'm sorry, Ellie." I said as tears started to fall down my cheeks. "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to save you. I love you."

I then stood up and continued to do the thing that I was best at and what Ellie would want me to do: keep surviving.

A/n II: I know that none of this happened, but I thought that it would be a good story. Please Rate and Review!
