The Last Of Us (Fan-Fic)

Summer- Chapter Two- Part 19 Alone and Forsaken

We hid behind a box as more hunters walked in. I waited for one of them to get close before I shit him, just to make sure I wouldn't miss. I saw that they were coming from the side so I shot them as they came close. As I moved to the other side they shot at me aimlessly as if they had unlimited ammo. As I took out another guy more seem to come. I took out two other guys with one bullet each an another with two. I took more ammo from a drawer and some soup. I didn't know there was a man behind me until he shouted out, "I'm gonna find you asshole!", this gave me the time to aim and shoot him dead.

"Alright... I think that's the last of them. You ok?" I asked Ellie as I stood up from my crouched position. "Yeah, I guess so" Ellie said with a slight laugh. "Good, cause we need to get the hell out of here. You know the drill. Look around, see if there is anything we can use". "Roger that" Ellie said as she started to look in drawers and pick up canned food. I picked up some canned food myself and a brick in case there were any infected around. We went outside where there where things pilled up and cars in useful places to hide. "See anything?" Ellie asks. I ignore the question and pick up some more rags and tape. 

When I finished looking for supplies, I went to where Ellie was, near a shutter door. I slipped my hands under it and started to lift it up, "Alright, go" I told Ellie when the shutter door was up. "See if you can get it propped open with somethin'" I said, struggling to keep it up. "Um... There's some pretty gnarly stuff in here" Ellie said, I could see her feet and legs were stood still looking at something. "Ellie!" I shouted as my legs started to shake, trying to keep it up. "Right". Ellie got hold of the chain and pulled it up. "Okay, go" Ellie shouted. I ducked under quickly and got hold of the inside. "Alright, I got it, I got it, I got it" I said as Ellie let go of the chain.

I slowly let the door close, making as little sound as possible. "Look" Ellie said. I looked around and saw two dead, rotten bodies on individual tables whilst there were various limbs lying around them. "Fucking hunters. See, this could've been us" I say to her. Ellie picked up a shoe from a pile of clothes by one of the bodies, "Man, that is a lot of people who didn't make it". "I knew I should of turned the damn truck around" I said, sighing. "We lived" Ellie replied. "Barely".

I patched myself up and collect a smoke bomb that someone had left behind. "How did you know?" Ellie asked as we went up some stairs. "Know what?" I asked. "About the ambush". "I've been on both sides". "Oh. So, ah, you killed a lot of innocent people?" Ellie asked curiously as we went into the next room. "Hmm" Was my reply, it really didn't want to talk about it. "I'll take that as a yes". "Take it however you want" I told her, acting as if I didn't care. 

I went into the next rook which looked like where the hunters slept, dirty mattresses on the floor with supplies around them. Firstly I looked in some lockers that were at the corner of the room, I found some scissors and tape, and I put them in my backpack. "I guess this is where the assholes sleep. I mean slept" Ellie said, picking up some of the supplies myself. I copied Ellie and pulled out some pills and screws from an open suitcase and continued back into the hallway. There was a door at the end of the hall which I opened and found a workbench where I set my backpack onto.

I took out my revolver, fitting certain parts where they should go to make the reload speed a lot faster and the fire rate. Then I picked out my 9MM pistol, increasing the clip capacity. Last of all was my shotgun as I used it some much I made sure the fire rate was sorted and the reload speed. When I was done I picked up some spare arrows and more rags. When I left the room I went to where Ellie was waiting for me, by the exit door. Outside there was a brick fence was graffiti on it, and near that fence was a pile of rotting limbs, flies scattering around them.

"Oh, I don't think these guys were infected" Ellie said as she looked at the pile. "It don't matter. Let's just keep moving" I told her, trying to get away from the smell and disgusting sight. We climbed a few stairs and when we were at the top, I could see our next destination. "All right. There's the bridge: that's our way out" I told her. When I looked down Ellie had already started to go ahead, "Hey, Ellie, slow down. Wait for me" I yell out to her, jumping down myself.

"What? I'm right here" She pointed out as we were at the same point. "How 'bout you let me go first. And keep your voice down" I demanded. "Okay" Ellie said in a low, mans voice. We jumped down through a gap in the wire fence which the hunters must have made, and used. Once we were down I picked up a bottle of pills and put them away before Ellie shocked me as she started to whistle. "I'm whistling" She said in delight, continuing to whistle. "Oh good" I said sarcastically, "Something else you can annoy me with".

"That's awesome" She said, trying out different tunes. I went into a bus as to see what I could find inside. There were corpses on a few of the seats, they must have been here a while as they were brown and black with time and age. Looking down at the end of the bus, there was a comic on the floor, I picked it up and shouted out to Ellie, "Ellie- Found another one of them comics".

I looked at the comic, it was titles: SAVAGE STARLIGHT- TERMINATION SHOCK. The first cover had a female holding something that looked like electricity. I turned the comic over and looked at the blurb:

Book 1: TERMINATION SHOCK

Dr. Daniela Star dreams of deep space. In the
year 2186, mankind has conquered the solar
system, but the shackles of special relativity 
prevent them from going any further. At her
research facility on Ganymede, Daniela is on the
verge of a breakthrough that will allow humanity
to finally answer the question: are we alone?

I exited the bus to where Ellie was and saw more cars scattered across the area, most in some sort of line as if they had crashed into each other. Before we could move anymore there was a single gun shot, "What as that?" Ellie asked as soon as she had heard the sound. "I don't know" I said, it was then I saw more men, "Ellie, get down. Ellie, hide" I said, crouching behind one of the cars.

"Where did you learn to shoot" A man laughed, crossing over a tipped over bus. "Man... Screw you" Replied another man who followed him. "You had an entire flock and you hit nothing". "I'm about to hit you" The man argued as another jumped onto the bus. "Wow... yeah, you're really upset. Well if you want some lessons I'm more than willing to help you out". "Yeah, whatever". All of the men jumped down from the bus and were heading towards us, even though they had no idea that we were there. "Where the hell are those guys? They're suppose to be here".

I shuffled forward, hiding behind the next, closest car. "They're on the highway shift. Wouldn't be surprised if they caught another batch of tourists". "Spot's a goldmine. Lucky bastards". "See if you there's anything you can forge while we wait for them". "Ain't nothing here. Let's keep going". As they walked past us we before kept low, looking whenever we moved so we wouldn't step on anything that would make a noise. "Screw this. I ain't waiting any longer. Let's go see what those assholes are up to". We jumped over more road blockers and continued to keep an eye on the hunters as they moved on.

"They pull this crap every time. I swear to god, if they're holding out on us again...". "Yeah. And you'll do what?". "You'll see". "Yeah. I will see". I listened carefully as they hunters eventually moved out of site. "I think they left" Ellie said as we went around the bus they had jumped off of. "Agh, those guys creep me out" Ellie says as she stands up straight, "Is this city full of these guys?". "Looks like it" I reply.
