A Mirror's Image

chapter six

Abby stared at the Scar confused yet also intrigued by the young boy's scars across his face. They paced around one another taking in each detail. "What is your name?" Abby asked the young boy, he glanced up to meet her gaze. "Lev..you?" he asked still a tight grip on his bow. 

"I'm Abby, was that your sister?" Abby asked gesturing towards the dead woman laying on the floor below. "Yes" Lev responded quietly, almost in a whisper like tone. Abby nodded replying to Lev without words, not exactly knowing how to respond to the boy. 

"We need to get going-" 

"Why? those are your people out there" Abby exclaimed. 

"Not anymore- I- please Abby." 

"THE APOSTATE. WE MUST FIND HER. LILY WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" 

Abby glanced at the door behind them, she sprinted up grabbing Lev's hand guiding him out of the room. "C'mon" They rushed down the stairs. "Lev follow me" Abby said pulling him by a wall, Lev stepped on a shard of glass while following the girl. 

"Fuck" Abby said pulling him against the wall as she held her gun tighter. The scar was standing, his back facing the two; Abby hurled forward grabbing the man by his neck, holding him tighter between her bicep and forearm. She felt the man go limp in her arms, dropping his body and stealing his cross bow.

"We're leaving now." Abby said harshly. Her and the young boy quickly fled the abandon shop running as far away as they could. Abby knew she needed to head back to the aquarium soon, give Owen an explanation and regenerate with Lev. 

Abby and Lev headed towards the old pet store, the two side by side walking into the place. Abby pushed a large counter against the door. 

"fucking shit" Abby groaned as she pushed the heavy metal against the glass door. "Let me make sure the place is clear, stay in the back room." 

Abby gripped her gun walking into the next room, checking for any signs of infected. She realized she stepped on something giving a "crunch" reply. She grimace at the sound, looking down to see a deceased cat, decayed. The bones and very little clumps of fur was left. She carried on throughout the building, taking out any creatures she saw. 

~ Ellie point of view ~

I looked up seeing the same man "Jordan" whose face had a white, puffy scar in-which I had done. He held his knife up to my neck ensuring that I had to face him. 

"now... where's the other girl?" Jordan asked me. 

"Fuck you" I spat back at him. He stood back wiping off my saliva. He walked over to the opposite area which Lexie was sat in. She was unconscious. 

"Damn she's sexy" Another man said as he walking in. 

He was on the bigger side, a green shirt and some kaki shorts. He had a sick, twisted smile as he walked towards Lexie. 

"You sick fucks get away from her!" I screamed at the two men. 

Jordan ran towards me pulling out his knife. 

"You fucking little cunt-" 

 I looked up at Dina slammed through the glass window above, she landed on the pervert. Jordan quickly turned around, as Dina plunged her knife into the other mans neck, Jordan went heading towards her. I grabbed a piece of the broken glass that landed behind me, I sliced as fast as I could until I was free, I gripped the piece of glass tighter as I stood up. The shard piercing through my skin, blood began dripping down my hand. I quickly grabbed Jordan from behind, shoving it into his neck repeatedly until I felt satisfied.
