Knew her from the start - Ellie Williams x Femoc

Where The Fuck Do I Put This?

Anastasia POV

It's so cold in here. I've woken up but I've yet to open my eyes. I feel so exhausted even though I just woke up. These last couple of months have been exhausting in themselves. I just want to wait one more minute here, where it's quiet and I don't have to face the reality of everything. Joel's getting worse, his wound is infected, and if we don't get him anything to heal it he will die. We're also running out of food fast even though no one wants to eat much anyway.

It's quiet here, too quiet maybe. Normally Ellie's up before me but I don't hear anything. My eyes flutter finally searching for the other girl but she's nowhere to be found. I get up worried, searching around all these rooms in this house. I go back down to the basement and I see a note left on the table I missed before. It says she's gone out hunting for food and to stay here and look after Joel, she'll be back later and not to follow her. Why would she leave without even waking me first, I would have gone instead of her. It's dangerous out there and I have more experience out in the wilderness than her.

I go outside to check where the sun is, to very roughly try and tell the time. I must have been asleep for a while because it's late in the day. What time did she leave, I wonder? How long has she been gone? 

A couple of hours later I hear clattering at the door. I grab my knife and hide behind the staircase. Someone comes running down and as soon as we're on the same level I come up behind them putting the knife against their throat.

"Ana what the fuck it's me!" Ellie yells at me.

"Shit, fuck I'm sorry," I say taking the knife off her neck. "Where the fuck have you been? Why didn't you wake me up, I would have gone and you could have stayed here?"

Ellie ignores my question and pulls out a bay and opens it.

"What the fuck is that?" I ask.

"Medication, for infections," Ellie says kneeling down next to Joel and lifting up his shirt. She takes the needle out of the bag and fills it with the liquid. "Fuck do you know where to put this?" I shake my head, never seeing anything like this done before. "Joel, where the fuck do I put this?" Ellie yells at him but gets no response. "Fuck it," Ellie says before stabbing the needle right into the wound and injecting it.

"Okay well let's hope that works," I say sitting down on the other side of Joel while Ellie puts the medicine on the table near to her and sits back down. "Where the fuck did you even get it?" I ask.

"Just some dude I ran into. I shot a deer and as a trade, I gave it to him for him and his group in exchange for the medicine." Ellie says, still keeping her eye on Joel.

"Should've only given him half." I say.
