Ellie was on patrol with Dina, she found you inside an abandoned building. You were weeping over an older womens dead body, she assumed it was your mother. You looked to be around 5 years old and very nonverbal, you only spoke a few times to tell her your name and age. She took you in. Its only been a few days since she saved you and you’ve only gained little weight..you were thin and sick.

Ellie never wanted a kid, she had bad anger issues since Joel died and a fiery temper, it seemed it bursted at random moments. Every time she snapped at you, you’d just cry. Ever since she took you in, you’d wake up screaming and crying from nightmares. She was annoyed every time but tried her best to comfort you. She called you a crybaby often, and it just made you even more sad. One specific night, you ran out from your room, weeping. Another nightmare. Ellie was on the couch, smoking a cigarette with a bottle of beer on the table infront of her. She tried to keep her anger in check as you came up to her and slightly pulled her sleeve to get her attention.

“…what.”
