Joel Miller has another child who was just a couple of years old when everything went haywire. Follow their journey as Joel tries to keep her alive during the apocolypse. Which is hard considering she has asthma.
(T.J's P.O.V.) Frozen in fear me and Ellie watch the bloater as it is being shot at. But it was so large that the bullets had no effect on it. The monster balls his fist and slams a soldier down to the ground, grabbing another and throwing that person away. I see Jerry and Kathleen run away from it. Jerry stays back and rapidly shoots at the bloater untill he runs out of ammo. I want to look away, but my body refuses to move as I look at the scene in front of me. The bloater sprints at Jerry and catches him with a lod roar that pierced my ears. Jerry stood no chance against this infected. And with ease the bloater ripped Jerry's head off, as if he was opening a bag of chips. Ellie and I try to catch our breath as we stare at the headless body from the car we hid in. A chill runs kver my spine as I heard the terrifying clicking behind me. Very slowly I turn to look at the back of the car, eyes going wide. Snarling and clicking away, an infected pops it's head through the window and climbs inside. Gunshots fly by, missing it slightly. The clicker slides inside. My instinct finally kicks in to move. Grabbing Ellie by her jacket, I pull her with me. Both of us climb further to the front of the car. The clicker followed us. "Go go go!" I scream in pure panic to Ellie. Shoving her out the passenger side before following her. The two of us slam the dokr shut and the clicker smudges blood over the window as it tries to claw it's way out. I scan our surroundings that had eruoted in oure chaos, before I spot Henry and Sam hiding underneath a car. "Help! Get the fuck away!" Henry screams, kicking in a desperate attempt at a clicker trying to grab at him, "get the fuck off me!". No hesitation came from Ellie as she stood up and ran over. "Ellie! Wait" I loudly yell trying to grab her but miss. I scramble to my feet and run after her. Dodging infected as dad shoots them. My heart skips a beat when a car narrowly misses side swiping Ellie as it rams through the infected. Ellie had arrived and stabs the clicker in the neck that had pulled Henry from underneath the car. I run over to the other clicker that was attacking Sam. But this one was far bigger than me and with ease turned me around and basically dlammed me against the car. "Fuck!" I yell as I struggle against the infected. Then blood, meat and fungi splatters over my face and clothing and the clicker crumbled to the ground. Dad had shot it. Immediatly I threw up at the unmistakeable, intense stench that was the rotting meat from the clickers. Someone grabs my shoulder and pulls me with them "Go, Go!". I scramble for a second, trying to bring myself back from the dizziness that was caused by the amounts of throwing up. With heavy wheezing and fast paced heartbeat, I follow the others to the building dad was inside off. "Stop!" Came Kathleen's voice and we all freeze to our spot seeing the gun in her hand. Can't this chick this give up? I feel the shortness in my breath grow, but don't dare to move in fear of her shooting me. Something moves in the corner of my eye. I drift my eyes towards it and the go wide upon seeing a clicker leaps out at Kathleen and tackles her. With screeches the infected fiercly punches and scratches at her. My eyes go wide as I watched the clicker continues to maul Kathleen and bite her. Behind me dad arrives and pulls both me and Ellie with him "this way move". And again we ran away from the chaotic battle between humans and infected. Flames consuming a house and bodies littering the street. I push through my asthma attack. But am unable to keep this up for long. As my chest becomes filled with discomfort, pain and pressure. My hand reached up and clutched my jacket as I slow down with wobbly legs. It was feeling as if I was drowning in air, and yet was unable to reach for it. Dad looks over his shoulders and immediatly notices what is happening.
(Ellie's P.O.V.) I turn to look at TJ and I see that she looked terrible. Clear audible wheezes left her mouth, both when she breathed in and out. Tj's face had gone pale and was now covered in sweat. I had no idea if this was caused by the running we had previously done or not. Panick arose in me as I watched her fall to the ground. She began basically tossing on the ground as she began to cough croupy. "TJ!" Joel screamed immediatly running to her, as we followed after him. Joel kneeled down beside TJ and pulled his backpack off. "Is she bit?" Henry asked frantically, "it's her asthma.. I think" I quickly answered him, reminding Henry of TJ illness. But still unsure if that was really the reason, cause you never know with the chaos we had just ran from. But by the way Joel reacted, I was certain it was an asthma attack. I moved nervously on my feet as I looked back at TJ who was laid on her back on the street, trying to reach for air, while Joel cursingly looked in his backpack to find one of the inhalers. "She's turning blue, Joel!" I yelled scared as I TJ's fingers and lips had turned blue. "Her vital organs are not getting oxygen" Joel explained sounding calmly but you can still hear worriness in his voice. He pulled the inhaler out and leaned forward. He quickly shook it before putting it between TJ lips. I saw TJ body relax slightly as the medicine was registered. Then an earpiecing screech fills the air. My eyes go wide when I see a group of clickers running towards us. No doubt they had followed us. "Uh, Joel?" I said in a loud whisper, but he ignored me, rightfully so because his daughter was having breathing problems. The clickers came running closer. There were to many coming for us to shoot them, so our only option was for us to run. "Joel!" I screamed at him to get him to move, "Joel, we got to go!". Finally, he reacted to the situation of clickers chaeging towards us. "Shit" Joel cursed as he pulled his backpack back on. "Ellie take TJ pack!" He ordered me, tossing her backpack at me. I knew what this meant, TJ was unable to continue to run herself because of her asthma attack. I pulled the straps looser so it could fit over my own backpack. Joel looked briefly at the approaching hoard before looking back at his daughter. He handed TJ the inhaler "you use it whenever you need, you hear me?" Joel said, worry and sterness in his voice. TJ nodded at him as she took another puff. "Joel come on!" I urged as I bounced on my feet, desperate to go. Joel bent down and sweeped Tj up into his arms. Before looking into her eyes.

"We endure and survive, right?" Joel told TJ who nodded as she continued reaching for any air that she could get. Then without further ado, we took off again. Sprinting down the street towards the bridge for our escape. Leaving the clickers behind.
