"Ellie! Wake up!" I say, still shaking her. After a minute, she groaned in pain and rolled over on her belly. "Ellie! Oh thank god!" I say, feeling relieved that she woke up.
She looked up at me; she had a cut on the bridge of her nose and her face had drops of blood on it. She looked to her right and said, "Enid… He's not dead." I look over at him and see him moving a bit.
"C'mon… while he's down, let's get the fuck out of here." I say, helping her to her feet. She nodded and groaned as she put her arm around me. She was in chronic pain because she wasn't walking right; kind of dragging her feet a bit.
We started to head for the kitchen but we didn't get very far. Ellie gets ripped away from me again and I fall over to the floor with a yell. Then, I get kicked in my stomach with a hard kick, making me retch loudly. I hear Ellie getting kicked as well.
"I knew you two had heart. It's okay, to give up. Ain't no shame in it." David laughed. I tried to get up but I'm instantly knocked back down to the ground by a kick to my stomach again. "AGH!" I yelp, feeling my entire body overwhelm with nausea.
"You stay down. I'll come back to you when I'm finished with your infected girlfriend." David threatened, before kicking me again to keep me down. I hear Ellie getting kicked by David again while saying, "Just not your style is it?"
When I looked up, he was on top of her, straddling her to where she couldn't escape. Through my pain, I grabbed my knife. I scramble to my feet and run at David with my knife raised. "Get the fuck away from her, you bastard!" I scream, driving my knife into his shoulder.
He growled at this and managed to grab me by my throat tightly. I struggle to breathe and claw at his wrists. Ellie wasn't able to get up after being kicked so many times.
Tears welled up in my eyes, causing my vision to become hazy. My lungs were burning as they begged for air. I gagged and choked badly.
"You wait your turn, you stupid little girl." he seethed. He then throws me aside, I feel my head slam against the floor. The pain was horrendous and I couldn't move.
I laid on my back; I could feel blood start to ooze from my head. I felt so dizzy that I couldn't see straight. "E...Ellie… E…" I moan, feeling myself slowly black out.
