A/N OKK SORRY I HAVENT UPDATED IN LIKE HALF A YEAR BUT I FEEL LIKE WRITING THIS AGAIN SO YEAHH :))

Ellie's POV
I stood outside on the concrete courtyard with Carol and Axel, i fidgeted with my bunny's button eye, the sewing around the eye was wearing away, Axel and carol were talking about something while carol was laughing, I hear footsteps as I turn around I see the familiar sherif hat on my brothers head, he was with Beth who was trailing along behind him "hii Carl, Hi Beth!" I smiled brightly at them as they returned the favour.
In those few minutes I forgot about everything happening around us, all the horrible things that had happened to all of us, though that moment was short lived, I looked over at Axel who was about to say something to us, he opened his mouth though nothing came out, a bullet swiftly shot though his head as his lifeless body fell to the floor, my heart stopped for what felt like 30 seconds, more bullets invaded our home as Beth grabbed onto Carl and my hand as she started to run towards the door, I looked back at Carol who was now on the ground trying not to get hit with bullets.

We all rushed inside the cold building, I let out a breath of which I had been holding for at least a minute,everything had happened so fast I didn't even realised I'd dropped my stuffed bunny out on the court, Beth started asking if we were alright as I started to sl9wy walk towards the big meter doors, "Woah Ellie, why are you opening the door?" Beth asks me as I face her with tears threatening to fall down my face "m-my bunny's out there" I mumble, she gently grabs my arm away from the door "we'll go get your bunny after the shooting stops ok?" She tells me, I knew it was stupid to be caring about a stuffed animal when someone had just died infront of us but I needed that bunny, Carl and i crouched together on the cold concrete floor waiting for the shooting to stop while Beth stood about a foot away from the door, suddontly the door swung open as we all jumped up, Carol stumbled into the door, my eyes quickly caught something in her hand, it was my stuffed bunny "my bunny" I whispered walking up to her "thank you Carol" I tell her as she hands me the bunny, I saw there was a small blood stain on the fur, now I had my bunny I had other things to worry about now "where's Eloise and my dad?" I asked quietly to carol "el is with Judith , I don't know where your dad is though" Beth tells me.

A while later the shooting stops, carol slowly opens the meter door, I softly gasped as I saw Axels dead body on the floor remembering what had just happened, Beth noticed this "just don't look els" she whispers in my ear holding onto my shoulder as we all walk out into the yard, my eyes widen as I see dad with hershel, I looked over at Carl who also notices, we both run over to him as we both hug onto him, as we both pull away from the hug I see Eloise running over to us and hugging Hershel, I look behind dad and see a farmilar figure, someone who I'd thought didn't get out of Hershel's farm all those months ago, Andrea stood a few meters away from us as she noticed Carl,Eloise and I staring at her wide eyed.
