Chapter 23- I love you
We climbed through a window, and up a fire escape that leads to the roof.
Also, we ended up crossing a huge gap by using a plank Uncle Joel found just laying there.
" Watch your step, the planks a little-"
" Pssh." Ellie said as her left foot hit the board.
I went next, then Tess and Uncle Joel.
" That view is amazing, isn't it?" I asked Ellie as I came to a stop.
" Yeah, it is."
" Man, I wish I had my camera with me."
" C'mon, this way." Tess interrupted us.
We got closer and closer as the minutes went by.
When we finally got there, there was a BIG SURPRISE waiting for us.
Everyone was dead.
" What happens now?" Ellie asked as she watched Tess search one of the dead Fireflies' body.
" Good question." I said as I looked at Uncle Joel, who then looked at Tess.
" What are you doin', Tess?" Uncle Joel asked, as she violently searched the dead Fireflies.
" There has to be something." Tess said.
" How far are we going to take this?" Uncle Joel asked her.
" As far as it needs to go."
" Their's a lab they were going to take me to." Ellie said as she stepped closer.
Tess looked up at Ellie.
" But Marlene didn't say where it was."
" What are we doing here," Uncle Joel said. " This is not us."
" What do you know about us?" Tess asked as she stood up. " About me?"
" I know that you are smarter than this."
" Really? Guess what were shitty people, Joel. It's been like that for a long time."
" No, we are survivors!"
" This is our chance-"
" It is over, Tess! Now we tried, let's just go home."
" I'm not...I'm not going anywhere."
" Don't tell me." I said.
Uncle Joel looked back at me, then looked back at Tess.
She pulled back the edge of her shirt, that reviled a bite mark.
" No. No, no, no, no."
" Oops, right?"
" Christ." Uncle Joel spat out, then looked away.
" You need to get this girl to Tommy's, he'll know where to go."
" No way. That was your crusade. I'm not doing that!"
" We might as well!" I shouted as a tear dropped from my left eye. " We've come this far, haven't we!? We can't just go back!"
" Search the area!" A male voice said from outside.
" Guy's, they're here, we gotta move." Ellie said.
" I can buy you some time." Tess said, " But you gotta run."
" No. Were NOT leaving you."
" There is no way she can come with us," I sniffed. " She will not make it. We have to go."
" She 's right. Go!"
" Ellie, let's get a move on." Uncle Joel said.
I hugged Tess and she hugged back.
" I'm sorry I can't help." I cried.
" Listen to me," Tess said, as broke away. " You keep an eye on them."
" Like a hawk. I love you."
" I love you too, sweetheart."
I turned and ran for the open door that Uncle Joel had left open for me.
