You were with Abby when she fell on the frozen infected. You got separated as you both ran away from them. You managed to climb on a fence and tried crawling on the snow as the infected tried to reach you.
"C'mon!"
A hand reach for you and you took it, following the man to a shed. Your heart pounded as you fell next to a pillar as the man walked over to some horses, a girl on top of it.
"Joel, what do we do?!"
Joel. It couldn't be. Not the Joel Abby was looking for. Not the Joel that killed her father. But he fit the description. He helped you up on his horse and you held onto him as he and the girl galloped on the horses trying to escape the infected horde.
"We gotta go back to Jackson!" The girl shouted.
Looking back, the town looked to be in fire and surrounded by infected. Your heart pounded. This was the man who Abby was looking for. The man you've been haunting for five years. But he had saved your life.
