Chapter 2: moving in

"Follow me"

Ellie and I follow this random dude down some stairs after he had rudely stared at me and grabbed my pendant! why? I have no fucking clue. As we start to go to the hallway I can still hear the vocalist on the stage.

You better get up out the way

Tommorow we'll rise so lets fight today

You know I dont give a fuck what you think or say

Cause we'll rock this whole place anyway

I had heard this kind of song before but where? Was it on the mix tape i had made for ellie? Yes it was, I remember now, this is the same band that sings Deadbite on that mix tape. I got excited and suddenly wanted to stay and listen to more of the bands songs. She knew though, that this was more important, whatever. When they had finally gotten outside without saying a word, immediatly everyone but the girl had gasped. Cars! There were working cars on roads and such! This is the most amazing thing I had ever seen. Also there weren't anymore wild plants growning around all the buildings. People were holding glass rectangle's and talking into them. There were neon lights and shops and it was so clean.

"Holy shit!" Ellie and Riley said in unision

"Oh my god, I havent seen a car in 20 years!" the man said. Im still bugged that we dont even know this guys name.

"Dad, your scaring me... What are you talking about?" The girl said

"Sarah, baby I know you may have some questions but right now daddy's gotta take care of some things ok?" the man said

"Ok" the girl who I now know as sarah said

"Alright you girls need to follow me to my house. I think I remember the way there." the man says

"Bullshit, were not going anywhere until you tell us who you are." I say

"My name is joel and you can trust me because im the only one right now that knows who the fireflys are besides you girls." Joel says

"Alright... Fine." I mumble finally

"Alright lets get a move on shall we?" Joel says.

When we arrive at joel's house outside of town, I immediatley feel uncomftorable and I know Ellie does to but im not sure why. We hunker down on joels couch and for a while there is just silence. The silence is nice, almost enjoyable. Sarah is the one to break the silence.

"So who are these people?" Sarah asks

"Right" Joel says "Who are you? I know you Riley Abel. Marlene talked about you. Who are you though?" joel asks pointing at Ellie.

"I...Im Ellie" Ellie says

"Ellie" Joel whispers "Ok second question, how did you get here?" He asks

"Well I dont know honestly" Ellie explains

"Ok how about this, what where you doing before you got here?" Joel asks

"Dying" I mumble. Joel hears me unfortunetlley.

"Dying?" Joel asks confused

"We were bitten, and we fell asleep, and then we woke up here without bites... so yea we were dying." I say

"Alright" Joel says under his breath "well y'all are welcome to stay here a while until we figure this out" he says

"Alright thats fine" Ellie says. I send her a look that says really? you want to stay with this creep? She just rolled her eyes at me.

"Ok well on of you can take the guest bedroom and one of you will have to settle for the couch" Joel says.

"Oh no thats fine we'll sleep in the same room." Ellie says. Dont blush dont blush.

"Oh I see" Joel says smirking at me. Dammit I think I blushed.

Later on that evening we get settled for bed when Ellie comes upon an acoustic guitar.

"No way! A guitar?" Ellie says in delight.

"can you play?" I ask curiosly

"Eh not really..." Ellie says

"Well you should ask Joel for lessons, he seems like he plays guitar" I suggest

"Alright sure" Ellie says. "well, im pooped" Ellie says.

"Alright night" I say

"Night" Ellie responds. We both drift to sleep entwined in each others limbs.

A/N- Alright well i hope you enjoyed. Like I said ill update soon because I have some ideas in my head. Aight nerd out :D
