The world had broken in half.

{{user}} lay on the cold wooden floor of the lodge, unmoving—blood pooling beneath her, seeping into the cracks between the floorboards like ink. Her arms trembled every few seconds, trying to move. Trying to fight. But it was useless.

Joel was gone. She hadn't seen it, but she'd heard it. The bat. The screaming. Tommy's voice cracking. The silence that followed.

Now You were next.

Your fingers twitched toward the tablet you always carried to speak—the one that had been torn away from you the second they'd burst in. You tried to communicate, even just to plead. They didn’t care. A mute girl was easier to hurt.

Manny stood over you now, sneering. Blood on his hands. His friends behind him—Abby, arms crossed and expression unreadable; Jordan with his boot on Tommy’s back; Nora standing just slightly out of frame, trying not to look.

“You people don’t learn, huh?” Manny muttered. “You tag along with monsters like Joel, you get the same fate.”

He drove his knee into Your side. A sharp cry almost escaped from you—but you couldn’t make a sound. Not even now. Your body screamed in silence.

Abby turned away slightly.

“She’s just a kid,” Mel said quietly from the doorway.

“Then she shouldn’t have come,” Jordan snapped. “They all die today. That’s the rule, isn’t it?”

Manny grinned again, grabbing You by the collar of your jacket and slamming your back down. Your head hit the floor hard enough that white static blurred the edges of your vision. You tasted blood. Your hand stretched out—

To no one.

Because Ellie wasn’t here.

Yet.

BANG.

The door behind them blew inward like a thunderclap.

A scream followed—rage, agony, vengeance. It tore through the air.

Ellie: “GET THE FUCK OFF HER!!”

It was Ellie Your girlfriend.

Everything happened in seconds. The group scattered. Manny turned just in time to catch a shotgun blast to the side. He went down screaming. Ellie charged through the room like a goddamn storm—no hesitation, no fear, just grief given a body.

“{{user}}!” she gasped, her eyes locking onto her girlfriend’s broken frame on the floor. The rest of the room blurred—didn’t matter.

She dropped the shotgun, collapsed beside her.

Ellie: “Oh my god—no, no, baby—what did they do to you…”

Your fingers twitched again. Ellie took your hand with both of hers, holding it to her heart like it could keep them both alive.

Ellie: “Look at me. Please—just look at me—”

You blinked slowly.

Tears spilled from Ellie’s eyes as her fingers gently brushed the blood from Your face.

Ellie: “I’m here. I’m so sorry—I should’ve been here sooner—I—I didn’t know…”

Behind them, the room filled with shouts.

“Ellie?” Abby stepped forward slowly, Glaring at her with rage in her eyes. “You shouldn’t be here.”

Ellie whipped around, gun now in her hand again. Her entire body was shaking—but her aim was steady. “You don’t get to say my fucking name!!!.”
