My killer headache is the first thing I notice when I wake up, the next thing I notice is that I'm in a cage on the cold hard ground, where the fuck am I? David! I sit up swiftly and see James chopping up meat, but it's not just meat, it's human flesh. He pushes off an arm and it lands on the ground along with a few other spare body parts, I gasp and fall backwards, I think I'm going to be sick. James looks at me then scoffs and tosses the knife onto the table, he walks out of the room leaving me to my thoughts. I stand up and walk over to the gate, I try to open it but it's locked. "Damnit" I mutter, I shove it one last time then walk to the window on the other side of the cell, maybe I could reach it somehow? "How are you feeling?" I hear someone ask, I turn around and see David walking towards me with a tray of food. "Super" I say sarcastically and keep my distance away from him "Here" he says and smiles at me, he slides the food under the door then stands back up "you should eat" he says and continues to smile at me, he's fucking creepy, I knew there was something off about him. I glare at him so he drops the smile "I know you're hungry" he says with sympathy, I want to rip his head off. "You've been out for quite some time" he adds, "What is it?" I ask as I never break eye contact.

"It's deer" he says and nods "With some human helping on the side?" I ask bitterly "No... no I promise, it's deer meat" I stare at him while contemplating my choices, eat the meal with the chance of actually eating a person, or starve the death and remain stubborn. I'm so hungry at this point, I don't care. "You're a fucking animal" I say then bend down and eat the meal, it's really good honestly, I'm never telling anyone about this. "Oh, that's awfully quick to judgement" David says as he bends down so he's eye level with me "considering you and your friend killed how many men?" he says and glares at me, he doesn't know the full story, but even so I couldn't tell him, he wouldn't believe me. I shake my head and look up at him "They didn't give us a choice" I say flatly, "And you think we have a choice? Is that it?" He says. "You kill to survive... And so do we" he says with a cold smile, one to make my bones shake. "We have to take care of our own, by any means necessary" he explains, I'm so fed up with this guy. "So now what? You gonna chop me up into tiny pieces" I ask without flinching, I'm full on glaring at David, I hate him, I hate him with every fiber of my being. "I'd rather not" he shakes his head, now he looks at me with a small smile, one almost sweet looking, maybe he's bipolar. "Please tell me your name" he asks nicely. 

I'm stubborn and I'm not going to tell him, he doesn't deserve to know, fuck him. I shove my tray back under the door and stand up "You're so full of shit" I spit at him, I watch as he picks up the plates that fell off the tray, "On the contrary, I've been ah, been quite honest with you" he says as he places the tray on the table behind him, the one with the dismembered bodies on them, he's a disgusting pig. "Now I think it's your turn, it's the only way I'm going to be able to convince the others" he says and looks back at the stairs leading to the outside, my way of escape. "Convince them of what?" I cringe, I'm not going to live in his stupid town filled with maniacs. I rest my hands on the gate while looking at him "That you can come around, you have heart" he steps closer to the gate making me stiffen up. "You're loyal, and you're special" he smiles down at me then rests his hands on top of mine, no no no Joel's the only person that can do that, he cannot touch me. I realize his intentions now, he's a fucking pervert. 

"Oh" I say sweetly, I see keys attached to his pocket, I need those. I rest my other free hand ontop of his arm and he smiles down at me even wider, then out of the blue I grab his finger and bend it back as hard as I can. I hear it break then I reach down and try to grab the keys, but then he grabs my other arm with his non broken hand and pulls me into the gate hard, at least three times. He lets go of me and I land on the ground with a loud thud. "Oh, fuck" I groan in pain, "You stupid little girl" David says in pure anger, I grab my head in pain, it already hurt from me being knocked out, now it's even worse. David glares at me with hatred, "You are making it very difficult to keep you alive" like he actually wants me alive, mother fucker. "What am I supposed to tell the others now?" he says angrily, think of something Ellie! I wipe my nose because something's tickling it, it's blood, that fucker
