Chapter 4
Run

Wendy stood outside of the museum. Her head phones slipped over her ears listening to the beat of of her mix tap. She tapped her foot when her dad inspected the dead vines. Tess and Ellie mouths moved without any sound. Her music being the only thing she can hear. Looking down at her feet she saw her shoes were untied. Bending down and tied her shoes Wendy thought to check Ellie's as well. She she expected they weren't tied. Reaching over Wendy tied her shoes for her. Ellie looked down at her feet feeling the tugs on her shoes. Looking down she can lightly hear Wendy's music, Wendy hair  was now down it only goes only to her shoulder. She had a few rings on her fingers. Her nails messy painted.
Ellie never noticed this but Wendy has a small necklace with a ring on it. Wendy stood up. Tess's lips moving. Wendy acted like she heard what she said. Smiling and nodding. Both Tess and Ellie confused why she nodded at a question. Wendy following their actions with taking out a flashlight. Tess took out a gun and Wendy took that as a cue to pause her music. Pulling her hand gun back out of her pocket.

Her hands shaking as she held it. Wendy was never confident holding a weapon. Let alone a gun.
Joel saw her shaking hands. He knew it was hard for her to even look at a gun. He was shocked that she killed the young stalker to start with.  "Your fine." Her das placed his hand over hers. "I drought there are even any in there." He said and Wendy shoved the gun on her bag along with her walking man.

Walking into the museum Wendy went around taking a good look at everything. There was a old suit from the 1800's. Wendy again found a stuffed animal. This time it was a penguin she picked it up brushing off the dirt before placing it down in front of her on a desk. Tess and her dad talking about how lucky they were to come across a infected free zone. Wendy walked next to Ellie them rounding a corner.

Flashing their  lights on the floor. Seeing a man with ripped skin and a bleeding head. "Oh shit!" Ellie screamed. Wendys dad and Tess came quickly. Wendy crouch down, looking over the body. He had a few bite marks on his throat along with a few tears at his chest. And large chunks out of his head. she looked up at her dad.
"He got snuck up on. The oldest looking in injury is his shoulder. They went for his chest when he was on the ground first, he probably tied fighting back because the wounds on his hands look like they are from self defense, he got killed from the head injury. The throat wounds on his neck are
too shallow of a wound to kill him right away." Wendy made eye contact with her dad her eyes scared.

Ellie looked at her as she stood up. Shocked that she could get that much information from a dead body."what the hell did that?" Ellie asked scaredy  her eyes still focused on the body. "No human did that. We aren't alone."Wendy inform
"Maybe, he was attacked outside and crawled through the doors." Tess said in a low panicked voice. Wendy shook her head. "There would be a blood trail plus he would die from that right away." Wendy whispered back. "I don't hear it."
"Who would you hea-." Wendy covered Ellie's mouth with her hand. Ellie looked at Wendy. Realizing that she should be quiet. "Are you saying an infected did that?" Ellie ripped Wendy's hand off her mouth. "Because I've been attacked by one and it wasn't like that." Wendy looked at her.
"This was definitely from a clicker. And it's definitely in here" Wendy whispered. Her dad got the attention from the two girls. "From this moment one we are silent. Not quite. Silent." Wendy nodded. "What-."
"No. No questions. Just do it." Joel interrupted Ellie.
