It was a pretty day outside, Ellie and Dina were walking together and they were away from camp. The two have been talking and laughing amongst each other. They never knew how numbered their days were with the infected wandering about so they wanted to enjoy the time that they could spend together.

"Hey how come Joel get so concerned with you when you're going out to clear out the infected"? Dina starts up another conversation as she walks through the tall grass.

"Well.." Ellie fiddles with her fingers before she starts up the conversation. "I am like a daughter to him. He had an daughter but she passed during the outbreak." Ellie decides to go off topic since she doesn't like to talk about it much. " Joel has a hard time trusting people, I don't even think he trust his brother that much."

"That's odd but understandable it's hard trusting people in a world like this. Hey Ellie help me with this ladder." Dina bends down to pick up the wooden ladder. The girls placed the ladder on top of a crumbling building. "Ladies first." Dina jokes.

"Oh shut up." Ellie begins to climb up the ladder blushing.

When Ellie reaches the top of the ladder there was a stalker at the top of the building. The stalker happened to see Ellie and begins to run towards her. Ellie screams trying to rush back down the ladder, but the ladder begins to fall backwards with Ellie having a tight grip on the ladder as it fell.

"Ellie"! Dina shouts in panic, she knew that Ellie was going to have a hard impact on the ground and there was nothing that she could do.

Ellie hit the ground on her back, she felt as if the air was blown out of her. Dina rushes to her side and tries to help her up. "Stalker"! Ellie eyes were wide open, pointing at the stalker jumping down.

As the stalker was falling down it hit a huge rock causing it to die.

"Oh my God"! Ellie gasps.

Dina carefully pulls Ellie up. "Are you okay, Ellie"?

"My back is in pain, but I'm better than that stalker over there". Ellie still managed to get her sentence out although she was still out of breath.

" Good thing it's only one of them" Dina was relieved that Ellie was alright.

" Well Joel said that there shouldn't be too many of them. We only should worry about the trespassers".

" Oh shit"! Dina notices a group of clickers running their way.

Ellie and Dina pulls out their gun to shoot at the clickers, but they were out of bullets. Ellie and Dina began to run away from them. The clickers have evolved over the past five years so they could run a lot faster than before. The girls run into a dark building nearby. The girls startled someone who was also hiding from the infected and the guy shot at Dina. Luckily Ellie tackles Dina from behind and they both fell to the floor. The bullet ends up hitting and killing the clicker behind them instead. Ellie and Dina gets off of the floor and glares at the guy.

Dina realized who it was that nearly killed her, it was her ex boyfriend, Jesse. "Jessie"! Dina snaps.

"Your welcome"! Jesse shrugs his shoulders.

"Guys cut it out!" Ellie rushes to the door to barricade it.

Jesse and Dina gives Ellie a lending hand with the door. Once the door was barricaded then they began to look for a way out.

"Where's the Exit"? Dina was beginning to panic, she knew that the barricade wouldn't last them long. There was barely any sunlight in that building so it made it hard to see.

"Just keep going, I think were close". Jesse was hopping over things on the floor to keep from tripping

They finally made it out of the building, but a stalker pounces on Ellie and she falls to the ground. Ellie was trying to keep the stalker from biting her. Jesse shoots the stalker a few times and Ellie pushes the corpse off of her.

Ellie stands up. "That was a close one".

" What's even more close is that my head was almost blown to pieces". Dina rolls her eyes reloading her gun with bullets that Jesse gave her.

" Hey it was either the bullet or get bitten, if you would have got bitten then I would have to kill you". Jesse chuckles.

"You're such an ass" Dina growls.

"Hey can't we all just calm down and be happy that were alive". Ellie was trying to brighten up the mood.

" Well were scheduled to go out tomorrow so hopefully we will survive round two". Jesse begins to walk off.

" I'm surprised that you survive the last round. You weren't like that in bed". Dina follows behind Jesse.

Ellie chuckles to herself. " Dina, stop being such a dick".

"Hey someone has to be the dick around here. It's obvious that he isn't packing any". Dina glares at Jesse.

The three of the walked together for about ten minutes to make sure that they were safe from the infected. They took a small break and stared at the gorgeous skies.

" How far out are we from camp"? Ellie asks Jesse.

"We shouldn't be too far out we should make it back at camp before the party." Jesse begins to walk down the rock stairs. "If we keep heading south then we should be fine".

"You're the boss" Ellie replies, following Jesse and Dina down the stairs.
