The Last Of Us (Fan-Fic)

Summer- Chapter Two- Part 25 Financial District

When I had jumped down I made sure to stay low. There were a group of hunters standing near a large oak tree. "Asshole should've known better. If you're gonna steal, you better make sure you can get away with it. Right?" One said, he looked like the leader. "I would've--" He was cut off by another man running up to them shouting, "They're all dead. They're all fucking dead!". "What the hell's he yapping about? Take a breath. Who's dead?" The leader asked. "The whole crew. The 76 look out guys. Some fuckin' tourist killed them. Killed all of 'em" He informed the crew, hands on his knees, out of breath.

"Shit. Have you talked to the boss?". I was wrong, of course the leader wouldn't be out with the rest of the group. "Yeah. He wants everyone to hold their ground. Watch the gate". "Alright, you heard him. Search the area. Do not let anybody through!". They all went separate ways, some coming near me and the rest walking away. "He's gotta be wrong" One of them said, shaking his head. "About the crew being dead?" The man near him replied. "I don't see some tourists taking out the entire crew". I moved over to another van, picking up a bottle as they continued, "What if they did? Maybe it's the military coming back". It was funny to think that these hunters thought me and Ellie were a whole military group. "Don't be an idiot. Military doesn't give a damn about this place. Look, if anything, some tourists got lucky. We'll find them. We always do". "I hope you're right".

I keep moving, this time to some tall seats, always trying to keep all the hunters in my sight, but there were a lot of them. As I listen carefully I can easily hear one of them in a building behind me, so I go inside as well. I try to hide behind some chairs, but it was too late as he saw me, and so did his friends. I quickly ran upstairs, getting away from some Molotov's which were being thrown at me. After a few minutes of hiding they all left the building, coming into a group together by the tree where they were before. This time I threw a nail bomb as they were all together, it threw three guys back and looked like it injured all of them. The three men it threw back looked all dead, so there were only two guys left and they only had melee weapons in hand at the time being. I threw a bottle at one of the men, but he saw me and the other man came running to me.

Ellie must have seen as she shot one of them men which knocked him back, "Good job Ellie" I murmured, thankful I had given her the gun to use. The man closest to me quickly switched to his gun and edged closer and closer to where I was crouched, behind a road blocker. As he came within a foot of me I grabbed his shoulders and shoved him back onto the floor before pushing my foot onto his face, smashing his face, ultimately killing him. I thought there was only one man left, but then came shooting from somewhere else, so I quickly took cover. I took a health kit from my bag and quickly patched myself up, knowing I would need to. Ellie started to shoot again for me which distracted the hunters once more. As one more came close I kneed him in the face which killed him as well, it seemed he had already had a gun wound.

Another man started to throw Molotov's at me again which made me run to take cover as I didn't want to get burnt. "Yeah. Yeah, keep doing that" I say as Ellie keeps shooting at the men. They saw me so I took out my revolver, shooting them as they ran up to me. There was another man somewhere who kept throwing Molotov's, but I wasn't sure where he was. As I stayed hidden behind a abandoned car I caught a sight of him, he was quite old and wore a red jacket, I wouldn't let him out my sight this time, but I had to be wise as there were more men around. 

After a second of thought I knew I had to try and be stealthy. This meant that when the next guy came round I strangled him, it was the easier option as he was wearing armour and it was the quietest. The man wearing the red jacket came near me without me knowing and Ellie distracted him by shooting, "Not bad" I said, I found myself smiling slightly. As the man ran into a building I followed him. As soon as we were close he started to hit me with a pipe, I started to hit him back with the bat I found until he was dead and I took the Molotov he had left off of him. One of the other hunters came in the building as well so I shot him, it was then another man took me by the neck and tried to strangle me. I headbutted him and he landed on the floor, allowing me to shoot him dead.

I got out of the building after that as I had to reload quickly. Of course know the rest of them knew where I was, so when each one came to me I shot each in the head. I was able to take two down using that tactic, and I took the bullets they had off of them. After picking up another rag I made a health kit for the future, but that future could be soon as I could hear more shooting. Luckily for me, it was Ellie taking down another guy for me. As I went through a building I saw another man, I only had to shoot him in the chest to take him down instantly. I looked around closely and saw there were no more men around. "Alright, come on down" I shouted out to Ellie.

Ellie opened both of her eyes now and came down to where I was with the rifle. I picked up a pistol which was in a dead man's hand as Ellie asked, "How'd I do?". I took the gun off her and put some of the bullets in the pistol. "How 'bout something a... Little more your size?" I reply, holding the gun out, before she takes it I add, "It's for emergencies only". "Okay" She says, and takes the gun from my hand before putting in at the back of her pants seeing as she had no pockets.
