Look For The Light | Ellie Williams

"We could have killed you."

Maybe you should have.

*•~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•*

  It was now around midnight, Auburn had finished hotwiring all the cars and fixing the water supply, as requested.

  Auburn and Kaylynn ended up going on a tiny adventure, exploring the area a bit and they found some sweets.

  Auburn didn't need to kill any walkers during their adventure, so there's that too.

  Auburn was in the house she stayed at alone, poking at canned fruit with a plastic fork, sitting on the floor as she leaned on the wall.

  The sun was down, so the moonlight beamed through the tiny opening of one of the windows as the stars twinkle above.

  She was making adjustments to her bow and arrow with some supplies she found on her adventure with the silver- eyed blonde.

  She secured her work with stronger string and
made arrows with a sharper metal edge.

  It was a knock on the door that made her head shoot up in the direction of the door.

  Auburn stood, putting the can of fruit on the coffee table before going to the door. She looked through the peeping hole and saw Redish- brown. Auburn opened the door and there she stood.

  Ellie.

  Ellie's eye bags were dark, very visible, just like Auburns were. She looked fucking exhausted.

  "What do you want?" Auburn grumbled, her expression hostile.

  Ellie stared at Auburn, hands in her pockets.
"Great hospitality, Reid. I reckon you'd be a good party host," the tall girl spoke bluntly.

  Rolling her eyes, Auburn let out a heavy breath.
"What. Do. You. Want?" she enunciated.

  "You."

  "Well, after the shit you pulled - you don't get to have me," she drawled, closing the door.

  Ellie's foot wedged itself between the door and the frame before Auburn could close it, "Can I come in?"

  Ellie lightly pushed the door open and walked in, closing the door behind her, locking it.

Auburn scoffed, arms crossed in front of her chest. "I said no," she bit out irritatedly.

Ellie cocked her head to the side. "My bad, I didn't hear you," she lifted a lazy shoulder.

"I don't want you here— please leave," Aubutn commanded, walking over to the couch and slumping into her seat.

Ignoring her command, Ellie walked to the couch and sat next to her. Ellie's hand moved to Auburns, braiding their fingers before Auburn stood and jerked away from her.

She turned around to face Ellie, a scowl on her face. "You don't get to do that, Ellie!" she snapped angrily.

Ellie crossed her arms in front of her chest, legs wide as she sat lazily on the couch. "Do what?" she asked, almost bored.
