Ellie frantically tried to grab Shira before she got dragged under by a clicker and sank to the bottom,walking back and forth trying to wait and think as Shira still didn't resurface"shes ok...shes ok she will come back up.." Ellie kept saying to herself as she finally knelt down on the metal platform and carefully leaned over to the water as if to see anything in the murky water,reaching her hand down into it as a tear finally ran down her dirty cheek, though she only new Shira for a short amount of time Shira still saved her life and helped the best she could,putting her life on the line for them.
Joel waded back in the water to a silently crying Ellie,rushing over to see what happened as he dropped the big plank of wood to carry Ellie across the flooded ally."Whats wrong? where's Shira?" he asked as he jumped up on the platform Ellie was still knelt down on"S-she got drug under...and i couldn't do anything...Joel i tried..." She said in a low raspy voice as she tilted her head slowly towards him,tears still running down her face.
"Hey..hey i know you did..."he said calmly as he embraced her in a gentle hug,placing his hand on her head as she started to cry into his shoulder.
Shira walked slowly to the cement bank of the ally,panting and soaked as she re-caped on what just happened,it flying by so fast she had to think about it. Getting dragged under water and pushed away from her so called group before she finally managed to kill the stupid thing against the side of a passing by building as they were tumbling across the water and ended up here.
She sad down on the muddy cement floor letting her feet hand in the water before gently removing her hand away from her shoulder,a visible bite mark in graved in her arm as blood started to drip down the length of her arm and onto the ground."Shit.." she managed to say quietly before looking around to were she was,all she had to do was wad back to the others.
She just looked back down to her now bloody arm before tearing part of her shirt to wrap it around the wound,tying it in a tight knot before slipping back into the water and walked back the way she came.
Joel,after several minutes finally calmed Ellie down the best her could before slowly jumping back in the water to avoid making noise,dragging the big plank back to Ellie so she could jump on it."Come on Ellie...we got to go" he said with a sigh as Ellie slowly lowered herself and sat on the piece of wood still looking down."Joel?...do you think she still alive? maybe she drifted away we got to go find her..." she said finally looking up with tears still in her eyes.
