ELLIE: CHAPTER 3: Hunt Gone Wrong

Word had gone out about hearing a gun shot in the woods. Most people just assumed that Joel had shot something. But he did not make an appearance at dinner. After that people started to worry. It wasn't just Ellie who worried, Tommy to, worried.

"Oh man, oh man, where the hell is Joel?! He wouldn't stay out in the woods that long, would he?" Tommy asked pacing around the house floor.

"I don't think he would." Ellie answered.

Maria handed Tommy and Ellie a bowl of steamed vegetables. "We need to go send a search party tomorrow morning." Maria suggested.

"So, Maria have you distributed the weapons?" Ellie asked trying to change topic.

Tommy's face was puzzled. I guess she hadn't told Tommy on what we found. She told herself. "What weapons?" He asked.

"I was meaning to tell you honey, today earlier Ellie and Joel found a whole weapon cache." Maria said.

"Where?" Tommy asked.

"There my father left them there, before he passed away."

Tommy walked into the hidden room. He slowly started crying with tears of joy. "Thank God." He said to himself. He picked up an M4 rifle. "We'll give them out tomorrow," Tommy said inspecting the rifle.

"Hey! What are we going to do about Joel" Ellie asked.

Tommy looked back at Ellie and he said, "Oh, that's right, we'll send a search party tomorrow."

Ellie went back to the dinner table and continued eating. She wanted to go search for him, but she knew Tommy and Maria wouldn't let her.

It was almost time to go asleep. Ellie headed for the shower (Which Tommy had fixed the water problem a couple of months back, so now they can take nice showers, and use the toilet and stuff). She then realized she didn't have any clean clothes to wear. She got up and headed for Tommy's and Maria's room.

She opened the door, and asked, "Hey, Maria, do you have any clean clothes for me to wear."

"Uh, I got these, look like your size." Maria said. She handed them to Ellie.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Maria added.

What the hell is Minecraft? She asked herself. One of the shirts that Maria handed her was a Minecraft shirt. She took off her dirty old clothes and took a quick shower. She got out and put on the clothes that Maria gave her.

Better go asleep. She told herself. She then, turned off the lights, and hit the hay. I miss you Joel. She told herself as she fell asleep.
