"Morning Dina. I managed to find us some breakfast. It's not much but some old fruit cans are better than nothing. They don't smell spoiled at least and I got the can open so... Plus with you eating for two right now I figured you could use it and it may help settle your stomach." Alexis says as she walks into the room where Dina is with a large open can of peaches.

"Thanks and good morning Alexis. Listen about yesterday..." Dina says as she takes the can and begins eating from it.

"Don't worry. It's alright. I understand." Alexis says as she takes some peaches from the can.

"You sure?" Dina asks as Alexis nods.

"Yeah. Where's Ellie and Jesse?" Alexis asks as she looks around.

"They left a bit ago." Dina says.

"Left? What do you mean?" Alexis asks.

"To go find Abby at the aquarium. Jesse is showing Ellie the way. But I don't know how far he's going with her because of his leg injury still healing. I made him go." Dina says.

"Why didn't anybody tell me this? Or more specifically Ellie? I would of went with her." Alexis says in surprise.

"She didn't want you being put in anymore danger. After the other day she didn't figure you'd wanna go with her again." Dina asks.

"It was more commotion than I was used to sure but I wouldn't of turned Ellie down to go with her. I told her I wanted to help. Does she not want my help?" Alexis asks.

"It's not that Alexis. She does want you helping. But she values you just like she does me and Jesse. She doesn't want us hurt." Dina says.

"So did she leave me behind because she wanted me to look after you today? If that's it I'm okay with doing that but I don't want Ellie thinking she has to be this protective of me as her friend. I can handle my own." Alexis says.

"No it wasn't because of me I promise. Look if you want to go after them I won't stop you. I understand your concern. To be fair I kinda want you to. You'll protect Ellie. I know you will. And she'll have your back. You're both quite capable. Jesse right now isn't. And as I said I'm not sure how far he's gonna go. So can you go after them and help Ellie?" Dina asks.

"Of course Dina. I just wanna help Ellie. I'd be happy to go." Alexis says.

"Thank you Alexis." Dina says as Alexis leaves.

"Timeskip*

"Phew. Made it in. Now to find Ellie and Jesse." Alexis says as she is walking in wolf form in the aquarium.

"Oh fuck!" A voice says in alarm nearby.

"Ellie? Ellie!" Alexis says in alarm as she hears Ellie struggling in a nearby hallway and runs to see her fighting off a dog before Alexis runs over and bites the dog in the side of the neck before throwing it at a wall causing it to land hardly and whine.

"Alexis where did you come from? How did you get here?" Ellie asks as she looks at Alexis.

"I came after you. As for how I got here well I have my ways. Where's Jesse?" Alexis asks as she goes over to Ellie and places her head under one of her arms.

"We parted not long ago. He went to go follow another trail that might lead to Tommy. I couldn't go with him. I had to follow the lead we had on Abby." Ellie says as Alexis helps her up.

"Then I'm coming with you. You might need help and I'm not turning back now." Alexis says determinedly.

"I didn't think you'd wanna come after the last night." Ellie says.

"I don't care how dangerous it is Ellie. You're... You're my best friend. I'm not going anywhere." Alexis says.

"Alexis this isn't going to be easy. There'll be things we don't want to do. You're sure about this?" Ellie asks.

"Positive." Alexis says before Ellie smiles and nods.

"Alright. Let's go." Ellie says as Alexis smiles and follows after her.

*Timeskip*

"Oh jeez." Alexis says as she is walking in human form beside Ellie as she covers her nose smelling the air.

"What?" Ellie asks as she looks at Alexis

"Ugh. Blood. I smell a lot of it. And metal." Alexis says.

"Metal? It looks like a lab of some kind. What happened here?" Ellie says as she and Alexis find operation tables with bloodied gloves.

"That's disgusting." Alexis says.

"Yeah. Come on." Ellie says as Alexis follows her to some doors where they hear muffled voices on the other side.

"I hear someone." Alexis says.

"Me too." Ellie says.

"The engine's fast enough. We can beat her there." A man says as Ellie quietly opens the door as she and Alexis see a man and woman talking.

"People don't come back from that island!" The woman says.

"How many times has Abby risked her life for you?" The man says.

"She chose this. I'm not fucking going there." The woman says coldly as Alexis shifts to wolf form and begins to follow Ellie as the two sneak closer.

"Then don't Mel! Go back." The man says angrily.

"Fuck you Owen..." Mel says angrily before she sees Alexis growling at her while Ellie is pointing her gun and her and Owen.

"Hands up. Where's Abby?" Ellie asks.

"You're that girl from Jackson." Owen says.

"Tell me where she went." Ellie says as Alexis growls at Mel and Owen.

"How do we know you won't kill us?" Mel asks.

"Give her what she wants and we're dead." Owen says.

"You guys can survive this. I just need her." Ellie says.

"Bullshit." Owen says before Ellie pulls out a map.

"You. Come here. Fucking get over here! And then you. It better fucking match up." Ellie says as Mel hesitantly walks over to her.

"Okay..." Mel says fearfully.

"What are you doing?" Owen asks.

"She's probably dead anyway.

"It's not worth it.

"No. You not cooperating with us isn't worth it. Stay back. Now damn it!

"Your pet can talk?

"She's not my pet. She's my friend and how she's able to do what she can isn't your business. Now do as your told and we'll all walk out of this. You don't and you won't be walking away. Now point to where she is. Fucking point!" Ellie says angrily before Owen grabs at her causing her to shoot him as he collapses.

"Owen!" Mel shouts as she runs at Ellie.

"Ellie watch out!" Alexis shouts as she runs over and bites Mel in the leg before Ellie grabs Mel and begins struggling with her until she stabs her and kills her.

"Are you alright?" Ellie asks as Alexis nods before she looks at Mel's body noticing something and giving a concerned look.

"Yeah. Ellie..." Alexis says as she shifts to human form.

"What?" Ellie asks.

"Look." Alexis says as she points to Mel before Ellie opens Mel's jacket as the two see she was pregnant.

"No, no, no... Of fuck." Ellie says as she backs away.

"I can't believe we..." Alexis says sadly.

"Ellie!" A voice shouts before Alexis and Ellie turn their guns to see a man and Jesse come running over.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey... I'm sorry..." The man says as he puts his hand on Ellie's shoulder.

"Tommy..." Ellie says.

"Let's go. Come on." Jesse says as the group leaves.
