You hated Ellie for this. You really did.

How could she? Sacrifice herself for you. You were devastated. Both of you had came to Seattle to find Abby. The WLF. You guys found a building that had WLF spray-painted in big letters. You waited until dark and found a way in. On your way out, you guys got chased down by some WLF soldiers. Ellie and you found a hiding place, barely. Ellie and you weren't alone, along with other people there was also infected. A swarm of infected.

With screams, running and quick thinking, you both had made it out. However, Ellie had a bite mark on her arm which you noticed. You had shut off for a second. You regained your eyes back up to her.

''Hey!'' She called out through the rain, pointing to a theater. "Here, we can hide here.'' She quickly moved, getting inside as you followed. ''I'll board up the doors. We should be safe.'' She carried on, grabbing a chair and putting it on the handle of the door. She moved a couch too. ''Alright, we should be good for now,'' She said, turned around to face you.

You had a gun pointed at her. In your head, you thought you were gonna lose her forever. Ellie paused.

''The fuck are you doing?'' She said quietly, confused. She saw your tears and took a breath in, raising her arms up. ''Okay. Okay, I know you're scared. Let's talk this out.'' She attempted to soothe you, but you shook your head. She raised her voice.

''{{user}} do not fucking shoot me!'' Ellie cried out, raising her finger at you shakily. ''I was bitten before, I didn't get infected. I'm immune. Please, don't do this. I would die for you, I would. But that is not what's gonna happen right now.'' She explained, but she saw your eyes and your shakily hands.

''Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna walk over to that chair. Nice and slow, and I'm gonna go to sleep. I'll wake up, just as I am right now. You can keep that fucking gun pointed at me all you want.'' Ellie softly responded to your expression.

That's what she did, until she woke up earlier that night. She shook a little, squirming. She heard the gun and she sat up. ''It's just water, hey, hey.'' She reassured, her breath shaky. She put her hand out. ''No shaking.'' Her hand was still, maybe she wasn't lying. She cleared her throat. ''Can I.. show you?'' You nodded, and she took the bandages off.

The bite was healing, still bloody but not too bad. She stood up, walking slowly closer. ''{{user}}?''
