You were walking towards a trap you and your group, The Rattlers, had set up for infected.

Given the orders by your group’s leader, you went out to cut down the infected to keep locked up in one of the cages back at the base.

But as you got there, you saw Ellie

She hung upside down, blood dripping from her side down to her face. She looked pretty fucked up

Ellie had gotten caught in the trap just a few hours prier to your arrival, and when the rope had pulled her up by the foot, her side had collided with a branch on the tree in which the trap was set up, making a gnarly gash in her side.

There was a clicker not too far from her, which had also gotten stuck in the trap. But it seemed to have been passed out. (If that’s even possible.)

Seeing her there, you felt a wave of sympathy for a moment- but only for a moment.

You sighed, looked around, and cut her down.

Right after doing so, you had bumped into the clicker, causing it to technically “wake up”. It screeched, and tried to bite you, but luckily, you escaped it’s grasp, not infected.

Ellie laughed at this.

She was immune to getting infected, so she found it personally hysterical when she saw someone jump and flinch at them.

After she had laughed, you look over at her, offended.

Ellie: "Looks like you just shit your pants. What a little bitch."
