The Boston quarantine zone was one of the few qzs that remained in the United States following the Cordyceps Pandemic that ended the world. Joel miller. A survivor of the fall was with his partner Tess to find a man named Robert who had cheated them of their guns and battery.

"Up ahead is the checkpoint. We get through them then we find Robert." Said Tess. She had made new papers for them and she handed the papers to the guard.

What's your business here?" The soldier asked while looking over the two passbooks.

"Got the day off, visiting a friend." Joel answered confidently.

The soldier looked at all Two then nodded, "Alright, move on through."

BOOM!*

A military truck that just passed them exploded, and they all reeled from the heat and the impact. Not wanting the violence to cease, some unseen hostiles fired off automatic weapons at the military.

"Fireflies!" A soldier shouted, after shutting the gate.

Joel was dazed from the explosion. He could hear Tess' voice calling his name behind the high pitched ringing, but he managed to snap himself out of it and began bolting in the opposite direction along with Tess. The two took shelter in the

'smuggler's den', a hangout for smugglers and the root of their network of tunnels.

"They're gonna close all the checkpoints. We're gonna have to go around the outside." Tess said.

"Outside the wall?" Joel raised an eyebrow.

"Or we can just let Robert go." She replied.

Joel snorted. "Cute."

Tess turned to another smuggler who ran up to tell them about the incident. She told him they just went through it.

"So, how's the east tunnel looking?" She asked.

"It's clear. I just used it. No patrols." the smuggler assured them. "Where are you off to?"

"Pay Robert a visit."

"You too?" he asked.

"Who else is looking for him?" Tess countered.

"Uh. Marlene. She's been asking around, trying to find him."

"Marlene? What do the Fireflies need with Robert?" Tess asked.

"You'd think she'd tell me?"

"What did you tell her?" Tess asked.

"The truth. I got no idea where he's hiding."

"Good man. Hey, you stay out of trouble, alright? Military's gonna be out in force soon." Tess said.

The trio headed to the small station where Joel turned to get his gear and put everything in his backpack; Gas mask, food, med kits and did an ammo check for his Colt defender. "There's not a lot of ammo for all of us to begin with."

"Better make your shots count." Tess said.

The two go through the tunnel outside the walls. The entire town was covered in plant life, more like a swamp than a cluster of buildings. Mother Nature really did lighten the place up the past 20 years.

"Ain't been out here in a while." Joel said, looking around the bright green environment.

"It's like we're on a date." Tess said.

"Well I am the romantic type." Joel teased.

"You got your ways." Tess smirked.

The two pressed on through the nearby building to cut through to the Area 5, where Robert was supposedly in. Robert had double crossed them by stealing their weapons shipment and had been running from them ever since. For his sake they hoped he still had them.

"Hold up. Spores." Tess warned, the two put on gas masks to prevent being infected from the air pollution.

When an infected dies and it's not disposed of properly, fungal spores are released into the air from their body, infecting anyone or anything who breathes in the stuff. The people know that the infection is a parasitic fungus called Cordyceps. Joel saw a David Attenborough documentary on it once. It was believed to only affect insects, but for some reason, it started to affect humans too, and in very similar ways to bugs. When the host is infected, the Cordyceps travel to the brain, and slowly starts to eat away at their sanity. Once they've "turned", as people called it, there was no hope for them to ever come back. The fungus took away everything they knew about themselves and those they loved. Joel and Tess were on their guard and continued to push through the building that was barely holding together at that. The place was a death trap for the smugglers who dared try passing through. Those who weren't smart enough ended up being torn apart by Runners that still roamed the area.

Tess felt sick watching a poor soul getting torn apart by two Runners, but it wasn't like it was the first time. Joel managed to choke one to death that was blocking their path. It has been a long while since he had to deal with the infected, but that never stopped him from killing every one of them he encountered. Before they made a move. Someone else beat them to the punch and they hear the infected being killed by someone. The two peek from their cover and saw A boy that could have been the age of fifteen. His long black hair was silk and on his neck is a necklace with a black gem, his skin was pale and he was wearing a black robe and black boots. Joel moves forward a bit and the teen turned to face them, he is holding a scythe. The weapon had skulls of the damned down the sides of the blade with the blade being silver. He is wearing a skull mask with his dark emerald green eyes glaring at them,

"Whoa whoa, easy we're not gonna hurt you!" Tess said though her mask raising her hand up.

"Shit…sorry. I thought you were infected." Said Harry lowering his scythe and he put the weapon on his back,

Joel and Tess watched as Harry went over to the dead smuggler. "Bloody idiot. I'll take back my payment,"

He then retrieved a bag of medicine from the man before putting them in his bag

that had several weapons and he shrugged it over his shoulder. "Come on. Let's go outside."

The two smugglers followed the boy outside the spore infested building where they take their masks off. Harry takes his mask off and the one thing Joel and Tess noticed was the lightning bolt scar on his forehead.

Harry then offered his hand to Joel. "Harry Potter…pleasure to meet you."

"Joel Miller and the lady is Tess Servopoulus." Said Joel shaking his hand.

"Lady…please you must be thinking of someone else." Said Tess before she too shook his hand,

"Smugglers I take it?" Asked Harry.

"Who wants to know?" Asked Joel, raising an eyebrow, being suspicious around the boy.

"Easy.. I need a guide though downtown Boston. I'm willing to pay whatever price. That last guy Eli was suppose to take me downtown but he bolted as soon as I handed him the payment. Bastard got what he deserved." Said Harry not feeling sorry for the coward.

Seeing another possible job did Tess agree. "Alright but first, we need to pay someone a visit."

"You mind if I tag along? I don't really know Boston really well." Said Harry. Tess looekd at Joel and he nodded. "Sure we can use another gun. You do know how to use that right?"

Harry cocked the gun and fired right behind him. The bullet hits a can that was two hundred feet away much to their shock. "Does that answer your question."

"Show off." Said Joel before he lead the way. Harry and Tess followed suitly behind him.

Joel, Tess and Harry arrive at Area 5, where Robert was nearly in reach. Tess has been around these parts a couple of times getting to know the locals. She has all the right connections, for a price of course. Tess had to give up some ration cards to get by this area which proved to be no problem.

"You know he's expecting us," Joel said.

"That'll make it more interesting." She joked. Joel smirked.

Tess walks up to a local. "I'm looking for Robert." she held up a few ration cards. "He come through here?"

"Half hour ago, he went back to the wharf." he said, taking his payment.

They passed through the shops into the nearby courtyard, and Joel's intuition was right on the money. Robert's men were expecting them.

"Here we go," Joel whispered as three burly henchmen armed themselves.

"Let us through," Tess said.

"You three need to turn back if you know what's good for you." The henchman said.

Our beef isn't with you, we just want Robert." Tess said. "You don't want to do this.".

"Turn the fuck around and leave now."

"I'm not going anywhere without Robert."

"Bitch, I will bash your skull unless you turn around and get your dumb ass outta here."

"Fuck this."

Bang*

Blood and gray matter exploded from the henchman's head as he fell down dead, Tess' gun barrel still smoking. She could be a real deadpan sometimes, The other two henchmen ducked for cover and started returning fire. Joel, Harry and Tess ducked behind some old crates themselves. Harry placed his mask back on his face

"So what the heck did this Robert bloke do to you? He screw you guys too " Asked Harry holding his Beretta 92FS Inox with stainless steel

"Pretty much! Joel, Harry, try and flank them, I'll take the right." Tess suggested.

Joel didn't argue and he pulled out his side arm and went around the henchmen's left flank. The old man peeked over the top of the crate and spotted a goon's head. He lined up, took a breath and squeezed the trigger.

Bang*

The bullet struck the second henchman in the head, killing him instantly. The alerted third started firing at Joel's location, but Harry took aim and fired a shot, which struck the third goon's arm.

"Arghh!" he cried. The goon's body fell to the ground lifeless.

"Yeah, nicely done too Brit" Said Tess.

Joel holstered his gun in his waistband. "How the hell did he get these guys?"

Tess heads down the corridor. "If Robert's good at one thing, its writing blank checks."

It wasn't easy, but survival wasn't supposed to be easy. No matter how low or high your chances are, you always have to be on guard to protect those around you. Joel once told himself that, but still he lost Sarah and was excommunicated with his brother, Tommy. But once again Joel is put in this situation with Tess, was this a second chance to make things right with himself? Or is this going to be history repeating itself? No matter what the case seemed to be to him, Joel pushed and pushed to survive. Robert's men wouldn't stand a chance against the three of them combined but with what they had, those chances were looking up.

Joel, Harry and Tess spent hours infiltrating Area 5, trying to get past the armed forces Robert possessed by using stealth with limited resources. The sun was almost down and curfew hours were closing in, Tess needed to punish Robert for crossing her. Tess made the right call bringing Joel along, he had the skills of getting close and quickly taking down the enemy and Harry. Despite meeting the kid not even a few hours ago proved to be a formidable fighter and the way he took down grunts with ease. He seemed to rely on stealth takedowns like them but he was much quicker

"How much further?" Joel asked Tess.

"C'mon, the docks are this way."

Joel pulls on the chain to open the shutter door, "Let's do this." She said as they head under to the docks, Tess was relieved to see Robert standing around tending to his operations. "There's our boy. Cocky son of a bitch."

The three of them snuck past the grunts taking them out stealthily before long. The run through the office and see Robert there firing his gun, causing them to take cover at the doorway.

"Stay back! Just stay the fuck back!" Robert shouted.

"We just want to talk Robert!" Tess replied.

"We ain't got fuckin' nothin' to talk about."

"Put your gun down!"

Robert fired his weapon again but was horrified to hear sudden clicking of an empty clip, "Go fuck yourself!" He shouted throwing the gun at them as a last resort.

"He's running!"

The three, Chase Robert to the outside where they have him cornered, being ready to pay for his betrayal. He desperately tries to open the chained gate, but with no success.

"Well hello, Robert." Tess smirked.

Robert scoffed in defeat turning to his old friends. "Tess, Joel. No hard feelings, right?"

"Not at all." She replied picking up a pipe.

"Alright..." Before Robert got very far he took a steel pipe to the kneecap, he tumbled to the ground cursing out the pain of the impact. "Look, whatever it is you heard, it ain't true, okay?"

"You wanna tell us where the guns are?" she asked.

Robert nodded,"Yeah, sure, but... it's complicated. Alright?" Joel walked over and violently kicked Robert in the face before kneeling down and putting his knee over Robert's elbow ready to pull his arm backwards. "Stop, stop, stop!" he cried.

"Quit your squirmin'. You were saying?"

"I-I sold 'em." he confessed

Tess scoffed in disbelief and anger, "Excuse me?"

"I didn't have much of a choice, I owed someone."

"You owed us." She countered. "I'd say you bet on the wrong horse."

"I just need more time. Just give me a week." Robert pleaded.

"You know I would have done that if you hadn't crossed me. Who has the guns?!" Asked Tess

"I..I can't," he said before Joel pulled back Roberts arm, snapping it in two. Robert winced in pain. Harry winced but kept watched for anyone. His hands holding his Scythe

"Who? Has. The. Guns?" Tess asked.

"It's the Fireflies. I owed the Fireflies. Look, they're basically all dead. We can just go in there and finish 'em off?" Robert explained. "Get the guns? Whadaya say?"

"That's a stupid plan." Tess said before firing two rounds into Robert's head.

"Well, now what?" Joel asked. Tess shrugged.

"We go get our merchandise back." She replied.

"How?"

"I don't know. We explain it to them." She turned to Joel, he nodded his support. "Look, let's go look for a Firefly-"

"You won't have to look very far." A female voice said.

The two turn to see a wounded dark skinned woman come around the corner. They knew who she was and Harry grasped his scythe and held the weapon.

"Holy Shit... There you go, queen Firefly."

"Why are you here?" She asked.

"Business," Tess caught wind of a small gunshot wound on Marlene's side, "You aren't looking so hot."

Marleen, did her best to cover the wound before asking, "Where's Robert?" Tess steps out of the way to reveal Robert's dead body. Marlene chuckles, "I needed him alive."

Tess scoffed, "Those guns he gave you, they weren't his to sell. I want them back."

"Doesn't work like that, Tess," Marlene stated sternly.

"The hell it doesn't." Tess took a step closer to the queen firefly.

"I paid for those guns." Marlene countered. "you ant em' back? You're gonna have to earn them."

Tess turned to Joel , "How many cards are you talking about?"

Marlene scoffed, "I don't give a damn about ration cards. I need something smuggled out of the city. You do that, I'll give you your guns back and then some."

"How do we know you got 'em?" Joel asked. "Way I hear it, the military's been wiping you guys out."

Marlene looked down, "You're right about that." She sighed. "I'll show you the weapons."

"Search the area!"

"Shit, it's the military!" Tess whispered.

Marlene backed up slowly, "I gotta move, what's it gonna be?" she asked. Harry had a feeling she was hiding something. Plus she was the leader of a terrorist group that was attacking innocent people. He had seen some of the stuff they had done to those who were outside the Quarantine zones. The Richmond Quarantine Zone incident is still fresh in his mind.

"You coming harry?" Asked Tess.

"Yeah" said Harry, following after them.

Marlene led them to the roof and cut through the buildings staying off the streets being patrolled by the military. The queen firefly looked off into the distance to see an explosion occur frowning at the sight.

"Holy shit, is that your people?" Tess asked

"What's left of them. Why do you think I'm turning to you guys?"said going through the building they accessed on the roof, once outside their destination was being patrolled by military personnel.

"That's the way out. The door under the bridge." Marlene said.

"I ain't a big fan of these odds." Joel replied.

"We can sneak by them, even though I know that's not your style."

They decided to play it safe and sneak past the 's eyes were drawn to the dead bodies of her fellow comrades and ground with tears brimming her eyes.

"Goddamnit, they got Warren..." Her voice broke. "Goodbye friend." she sniffed.

The three had finally arrived at their destination, they blocked the entrance to prevent any soldiers from getting in, but other than that, they were safe for now. The announcement for the curfew was established, it was going to be hard getting back to their apartment now. Finally Marlene led them through a kitchen and unlocked a door.

"Give me a hand with this." She grunted.

It took a lot of Strength out of her, the door was pretty much jammed.. Marlene entered and collapsed to the floor. Joel went over to help her up.

"Hey... Let me help you." He said lifting her onto her feet.

"Get the fuck away from her!" A girl's voice came from behind him.

A girl brandishing a switchblade, slashed at Joel but harry grabbed her wrist. The girl not expecting that watched as Harry disarmed her of her knife and pointed it at her neck. Ellie could only look at the dark green emerald eyes though his mask

"Let her go!" Marlene let the girl go before he tossed the weapon back to her which she caught

"Recruiting kinda young, ain't ya?" Joel said, walking into the room with Tess behind him.

The fatigued queen firefly limped over to sit on some boxes, painfully clutching her side. "She's not one of mine."

The girl had glared daggers at the man before turning to her friend, "Shit. what happened?"

"Don't worry this is fixable," Marlene assured. She locked gazes with the girl. "I got us help... But I can't go with you."

"Well then I'm staying." she decreed.

"Ellie, we won't get another shot at this."

Joel raised his eyebrow, "We're smugglin' her?"

"There is a crew of Fireflies waiting for you at the capitol building." Said the firefly queen

"That's not exactly close." Tess reminded.

"Your capable... You hand her off, come back here, and the weapons are all yours." Marlene said. "Double what Robert sold me plus a working truck."

"Speaking of which, where are they?" Tess asked.

"Back in our camp..."

Tess shook her head, "We're not smuggling shit until I see them."

"You'll follow me. You can verify the weapons. I can get patched up." Marlene said clutching her side, "But she's not crossing into that part of town... I want Joel to watch over her."

"Whoa, now I don't think that's the best Idea right no-" Joel spoke,

"Bullshit I'm not going with him"

"Ellie..." Marlene called for her attention.

"How do you know them?"

"I was close with Joel's brother, Tommy." She replied. "Said if I was ever in a jam, I could rely on him."

"Was that before or after he left your little militia group?" Joel asked.

"He left you too." She countered. "He was a good man."

Tess pulled in Joel to whisper, "Look, just take her to the north tunnel and wait for me there."

But Joel scoffed, "Jesus Christ."

Ellie walked up close to Marlene, "Marlene..."

"No more talking. You'll be fine, now go with him." Marlene said.

"I'll accompany you Tess." Said Harry.

"No. Go with Joel Harry, it's almost curfew" said Tess. Joel mentally cursed that he had to play babysitter to the two teens. Harry can handle himself but Ellie was another story,

/scene break/

Joel, Ellie, and Harry, Were almost at the north tunnel. Ellie still had her hand on her knife keeping a close eye on Joel and Harry. She stopped to see the bodies scattered on the ground, she seen dead bodies before, but still had to get use to the sight.

"Whoa... I heard all the shooting, but... what happened?" She asked.

"The Fireflies," Joel replied.

"The same things gonna happen to us if we don't get off the street." Harry added. "Bloody terrorists"

"I take it your not a big fan of the Fireflies" asked Ellie,

"They say they're fighting for the old world but they are even worse than FEDRA and hunters…I've seen them raid and pillage settlements that are just trying to live." Said Harry,he and his gang of fellow witches and wizards had seen what the fireflies were capable off.

"What! That can't be true, Marlene would never do that" said Ellie,

"Yeah, they also kill those who don't support them..I've seen it with my own two eyes." Said Harry walking past the girl.

As they pressed on, they managed to reach the old hotel building where the North tunnel was housed.

"How are we supposed to reach that?" Ellie complained looking up to the destroyed stairway of the old fire escape of the hotel.

"Just give me a second." Joel grunted, looking around for a boost. Ellie turns to see Harry climb up the Fire escape with ease. "How did you do that!" Asked Ellie,

"I've had years of climbing experience. Hurry up" said Harry. Joel growled under his breath and pushed and old dumpster against the edge of the fire escape and climbed up, Ellie followed behind him. The three entered the building with a sigh of relief and away from the military.

"So this tunnel, you use it to smuggle things?" Ellie asked.

"Yep." Joel said.

"Like illegal things?"

"Sometimes."

"Have you ever smuggled a kid before?"

"No, that's a first." Joel said, pressing on. "So What's the deal with you and Marlene, anyways?" he asked.

Ellie kept it vague for some reason, but it was simple enough. "I don't know, she's my friend I guess."

"Your friend, huh? You're friends with the leader of the Fireflies. What're you, like twelve?" Harry asked.

"She knew my mom, and since then she's been looking after me." She said. "And I'm fourteen, not that that has anything to do with anything." She added.

"Tch...Now that we can agree." Harry said, holding his scythe.

Joel turned back to Ellie, "So where are your parents?"

"Were are anyone's parents? They've been gone a long, Long time."

"Hm. So instead of just staying in school, you just decide to run off and join the Fireflies, is that it?"

"Look, I'm not supposed to tell you why you're smuggling me if that's what you are getting at."

Joel took a deep breath, "You want to know the best thing about my job? I don't gotta know why. Be honest with you, I could give two shits what your up to."

"Well great."

The three walked in silence to the room where the tunnel is based, Joel unlocks the door and steps inside. Joel automatically gets settled in but Ellie just stands around.

"What are you doing?" She asked Joel who plops down onto the couch with a huge sigh of relief to be off his feet.

"Killing time." He said closing his eyes.

"Well, what am I suppose to do?" She asked.

"I'm sure you'll figure that out." Joel said. Ellie walked by him looking down at his watch.

"Your watch is broken." she said. Joel clenched his fist, Harry looked at the watch and he proved Joel's mind and he saw a girl with short blond hair and hazel eyes like him,. /well that answers that question about the girl/ thought Harry. Before his girlfriend and friends entered the Vault to escape the Bombings. The girl had appeared before them in critical condition on outbreak day. Daphne and Andromeda were quick to save her life before she joined them inside the vault. They had just left the Vault days prior anc we're now trying to find a place to begin rebuilding their society. The rest of the gang was in the old Boston Museum waiting for him to come back with a secured route.

They can handle the Infected just fine. But it's actually people who are the problem. Not just the Raiders but rogue wizards and witches, Magical Creatures have laid claim to many cities. Dragons and Griffins ruled the skies and the water was worse.

He then brought out his bag and emptied it revealing his collection of weapons, besides his Beretta, he also had with him a Franchi PA8, Winchester Model 70 with a black finish. The camo on the gun is green tiger stripes. A Horton Scout HD 125 crossbow and then there is the Elder wand. /better not use magic while Ellie and Joel are here. Better conserve my ammo./

He put the weapons back into his bottomless bag. He took off his mask and Ellie can see his handsome face. "Why do you wear a mask?"

"It's complicated" said Harry not wanting to reveal that FEDRA wanted him because he was immune to Cordyceps. He had barely manage to evade capture once and he was not going to be their sacrifice for mankind. Not when he had to get back to Daphne and the others who are waiting for him.

Harry then looked at Ellie and she was looking out the window looking like she was in a trance. Harry didn't bother with her and decided to get some sleep too.

Hours past and Harry woke up hearing Joel mumble in his sleep, he jerked awake.

"You mumble in your sleep." She said rubbing her eyes. "I hate bad dreams."

Joel sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Yeah, me too." He got up and strolled over to Ellie.

"You know, I've never been this close. To the outside." She said "Look how dark it is... It can't be any worse out there... Can it?"

"You have no idea." Harry said, standing up from his own sleep. Joel lit a lantern and the room illuminated,

"What on earth do the fireflies want with you?" Joel asked Ellie.

Before Joel could even get an answer, Tess returned finally.

"Hey, sorry it took so long. Soldiers fuckin' everywhere." She said patting his shoulder

How's Marlene?" Ellie asked.

"She'll make it." Tess assured before turning to Joel and Harry. "I saw the merchandise, its a lot. Wanna do this?"

Joel nodded, "Yeah."

Tess turned to Harry. "If you want, you can wait here for us to come back."

"I'll accompany you. You guys are heading for downtown anyway so why not kill two birds with one stone" said Harry. The two smugglers nodded.

Joel, Tess and the teens go into the next room. "Don't you think it's a bit strange that they're having us do their smugglin'?" Joel asked Tess.

"Marlene wanted to do it herself. We weren't their first choice, or the second for that matter." She explained, "She's lost a lot of men. Beggars can't be choosers."

"Let's hope there's someone alive to pay us." he said.

"Someone'll be around." Tess assured

Joel tended to the generator and the four took the lift down to the tunnel entrance.

"So, who's waiting for us at the drop off?" Joel asked.

"She said that there's some Fireflies that have traveled all the way from another city. The girl must be important." Tess explained, she then turned to Ellie, "What is the deal with you? You some big-wig's daughter or something?"

"Something like that." Ellie replied. "So how long is this gonna take?"

"If everything goes as planned. We should get you to them in a few hours."

Harry turned to Ellie with his mask on, "Ellie, Since this is your first time outside the wall, once we get out there follow our lead and stick real close."

Ellie took a deep breath, "Yeah, of course."

Joel climbed up the ladder to peek outside, a couple of patrols were guarding the perimeter but since the four were going to be embracing the darkness of the night and camouflaged in the heavy rain it shouldn't be a problem. Ellie was full of excitement and surprise.

"Holy shit... I'm actually outside." She said sticking close to Harry who took point.

Harry led the three up into the old cargo truck acting like a bridge out of the pit. "Alright come-" The butt of a gun met Harry's chin and he fell to the ground.

Ellie sprinted to him kneeling down next to him. . She was pulled away from him by one of the soldiers. Nobody didn't notice his mask had fallen off

"Don't do anything stupid." The soldier said, his partner held up Joel and Tess at gunpoint. The four of them were brought to their knees in a straight line. Harry was still dazed from being hit.

"You'll scan them and I'll call em' in." The female soldier said.

"Look the other way, I'll make this worth you a while." Tess bargained.

"Shut up." The soldier replied.

He took out a scanner and began scanning Tess, Joel but when he got to Ellie. Harry had recovered and he was quick to grab his Scythe and cut the soldier's head off. The other soldier then saw his face and he was furious.

"Holy shit! It's potter! We have Potter!" Said the soldier through the radio and Harry was quick to fire a stunner at her knocking her out, the use of magic shocked Joel, Tess and Ellie.

"What was that!?" Ellie asked.

"Holy shit…your" said Joel

"So you know what I am" said Harry,

Tess was confused before Joel said. "Yeah. I know about the other world."

"Other world? What other world?" Asked Ellie.

Tess picked up the soldier's scanner, and her face was hit with horror, "Oh, shit." She looked to Joel, "Look." She said, showing them the scanner .

"Jesus Christ.. Marlene set us up? Why the hell are we smuggling an Infected girl?" Joel said.

"What?!" Said Harry. He sees the, 'positive' on the device and then looks back at Ellie. "So you too?" .

"Huh?" She said,

Harry then pulled back his sleeve saying. "I'll show you mine if you show me yours"

On his right arm is a bite mark that was completely healed. His looked to be a year old. Joel and Tess eyes widened on seeing the bite mark, Ellie in shock pulled her sleeve back to reveal her bite wound. The wound was also healed up,

"I've had my bite scar for about a year, how about you?" asked Harry

"It's three weeks old," she said.

"This is impossible" said Joel seeing the bite marks on them.

Harry then grabbed their guns and he chucked one gun to Joel who caught it, As he turned around he stopped and his eyes widened at the sight of a military vehicle armed with a mounted machine gun, "Oh shit... Guys run." He said sprinting off in the opposite direction. Joel did the same with Tess and Ellie.

The four dropped back down into the pit surrounding the city walls. "Where's potter!"

"He's out there somewhere. He's with Two smugglers and a girl

"Find him! The commander wants him alive!, kill the rest of them!"

"Fuck,I should have never came near here" said Harry putting his mask back on and the group of four ran away from FEDRA.

/meanwhile/

In the abandoned museum. A girl with Long blonde hair wearing muggle clothing is seen looking out the window to the Quarantine Zone. Her icy blue eyes filled with worry,

"Daphne?"

The girl turned to look at a pudgy teen coming over to her, on his side was a silver sword and a Remington 870 with a flashlight attachment on his back. (The Sword of Gryffindor.)

"He's been gone for two days. I'm worried Neville, what if FEDRA got him" said Daphne.

"I know but he'll come back when he finds a safe route for us to take." Said Neville. His grip on his Shotgun.

Daphne nodded.

"Why don't you go get some sleep, it's my turn to keep watch." He said,

"Who's watching the back door?" She asked,

"Oleg, Victor and Red are watching the backdoor, Fleur, Hannah and Susan are watching over the kids, Fred and George are working on some new project. Blaise and Tracy are sleeping before their turn to take watch on the roof with Theodore and Lily. Amelia and Sirius are organizing the weapons. Hermoine is organizing the spellbooks I collected from the magical district in Boston. Remus and Dora are looking for any Infected we may have missed in the building. Violet is organizing our food situation and Andromeda is still tending to our patient." Neville said,

Daphne then went to go lay down. She sees Fleur and Susan with Ginny Weasley, Gabriel Delacour, Luna Lovegood and Rose Moon. Lily Moon's youngest sister. She has bright red hair and stunning Silver eyes, they were working on what appeared to be some spells. Ted Tonks was nearby with his Mossdeep 500 cruiser in his lap.

Daphne then sees her mentor Andromeda organizing their medicine on a small table she had conjured. In the occupied bed is a girl about the age of twelve. She has short blonde hair and her eyes were closed. The blanket snuggled to her and she was breathing gently as she slept.

"Any change?" Asked Daphne.

Andromeda shook her head. "No. The bullet barely missed her heart and it's a miracle she survived. Her magic saved her by bringing her to us. Now it's just up to her."

Daphne then sat on the edge of the bed. She placed her hand on the girl's forehead and she noted that she was a bit warm. She asked, "Do you think we will ever rebuild our society ?"

"Time will only tell, but first we need to find our own place. England is a war zone so that's out of the question. There's bound to be a place where we can live in peace." Andromeda replied. She walked over and sat on the empty bed next to the girl."Harry made it his goal to find sanctuary for us. We have to believe he will pull through."

Daphne could only agree before she said "Keep me posted if you hear from Harry"

"Of course…go get some sleep." Andromeda replied. Daphne then tucked herself in the bed next to the girl and let sleep take her. Outside a storm was brewing over the ruined city of Boston.
