You wake up and try to readjust your blurred vision, when you finally do, you look around and don't recognize where you are, you try to move but you get an agonising pain on your thigh, you look down and see that your wound is all bandaged up, you grow even more confused, but then it hits you, you remember what happened in the woods and get up immediately with all of your energy but cry out in pain when you do, you open the door and even though all your wearing is a tight white tank top and your pants are cut up, you try your best to keep walking but find yourself in a town full of people, you start freaking out as the only family you have left is nowhere to be seen.

As you keep walking and crying you spot a very familiar face, you try to guess who it is and then it finally hits you, it's that girl you met in the forest, you go up to her and yell.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS KYLE!" while holding your thigh, in severe pain.

"Hey, be careful you're still healing". She says in a worried tone.

"Please...tell me where he is, he's the only family I have left" you break down in tears. She holds you and calms you down.

"It's okay, he's in safe hands just calm down and I'll take you to him".

You quickly calm down.

"You won't freak out now right?".

You nod your head.

"Okay let me help you".

She puts an arm around your waist and puts your arm on her shoulders as she helps you walk.

While you're both walking she starts a conversation.

"Hey, um... I never got your name?".

You look at her, not knowing if you should answer but eventually you do.

"Y/N, what about you?".

" Ellie". 

After a little while of struggling to walk, you finally reach the house that Kyle is in, you limp towards the door, knocking impatiently. an old man who looks to be around his 50s opens the door and looks at you, confused.

"who are you" he asks you.

"Joel, let her in, she's the kids mom".

"Oh, of course, come on in".

"Thank you". You tell the older man.

You instantly walk in limping as you find him playing with some toys, all the worry in your system is gone and all you do is call his name.

"KYLE! Oh thank god you're okay!"

He looks at you and instantly runs into your arms and you both start crying.

After a while you sat down on the couch with Ellie while Joel went to get some water.

"By the way, he's not".

"Who's not what". Ellie asks confused.

"He's not my son, he's my nephew".

"Oh, sorry I didn't know but... where's the mom if you don't mind me asking?"

"Um, my sister, she-she got infected and...I had to kill her...".You say eyes filled with tears.

"Fuck, I'm so sorry I shouldn't have asked". She places a hand on your shoulder.

"No its totally fine, I mean, yeah it wasn't easy but, I know she would have wanted me to do it instead of her hurting Kyle unintentionally".

She nods and smiles at you, you smile back at her, this is the first time you really look at her features. She has beautiful forest green eyes, freckles across her pale skin, very short beautiful reddish brown hair.
