CH.2
Joel turned around in horror as he pulled out his pistol,sending a bullet into the closest one that was about to tear into his friend,not able to reload and shoot fast enough as the fear rose in his chest trying to push a bullet into the loading chamber with shaky hands. One managed bit into Ellie's arm as she started to scream and kick trying to break free of there death grip,suddenly something flew right past Joel's face,wide eyed as he was he looked to where it went as it hit with a thud,realizing it went through the last two clickers,blood splattering to the ground as there knees both buckled before smashing hard to the cement floor,green and red blood mixed as it pooled out into the street.
Elie and Joel both looked up in the direction of the stranger,a bow was strung with another arrow as she was aiming still before looking to the two,lowering the bow as they started to walk closer to the truck,Joel padding down Ellie to make sure she both neared the truck before Joel held up a hand to stop Ellie as he took a couple steps closer, the strange girl now sitting on the edge of the truck as she jumped down in front of him.
She only came up to his chest for how tall he was as she looked up at him from a distance"whoa are you?" Joel asked with a emotionless tone,Ellie now walking a little closer"wow...that was amazing how did you do that? i'm Ellie by the way whats your name?" Ellie asked bombarding the stranger as she held out her hand,the girl looking down with a slight smile before offering a hand back,shaking it gently" i'm to meet you Ellie" she replied as she looked back up to the man in front of her"and your name?" Shira asked politely.
"i'm Joel" he said back surprisingly with a small smile as Ellie walked around There new friend,glancing at all her weapons before stopping with a huge smile planted on her face"you have swords!?" She yelled as she looked up and down the two swords that were strung to Shira's just smiled and nodded as Joel stood awkwardly looking around,he wasn't much of a social person as it was being dazed by his own thoughts as the two talked. He didn't very often get to think like this it was mostly on how to survive or how to live to tomorrow he enjoyed to get a break from it all but his thinking was cut short my a quick grip on his arm to pull him forwards,shaking his head a little before looking down to see Shira pulling at him"we got to go Joel!" She yelled before taking off with Ellie,Joel looking behind him as the open road started to fill with infected.
"Shit.." he said before taking out his pistol and began to sprint after the other two catching up to them rather quickly as Shira led the way"this way guys!" she yelled before taking a quick turn to the right running into a metal building before slamming the door Ellie and Joel panting as they both leaned down to catch there breathe"come on guys we got to keep going" Shira said as she started to quickly run up the stairs that were at the back of the building the door indenting with every hit the infected laid on it"from the amount of those things that door wont last long we got to keep moving and get to the top i have a safe house up there" Shira yelled looking back to the others as she turned and ran up another flight of stairs,Ellie and Joel right on her heels.
The bang and loud click of metal to cement told the group that the door was busted in,Ellie looking over the railing as Joel pushed her up again"don't stop moving Ellie" he said as they finally got to the top"come on hurry it right over here"Shira yelled before running past a huge metal vault door,waiting for the two to run in before slamming it shut,locking it from the inside and backed away panting, all three leaning over to catch there breathe"that was a close one" Ellie said with a smile as Shira gave a slight laugh as she nodded back"that was some rush."
