"Come on Ellie! Think about it! We can't get infected and we can't trust anyone!" I yell at my twin, trying to convince her to come run away with me. Right now we are waiting for Marlene to come back so she can take us to go do something, I don't know what, I kind of zoned out when she was telling us...
"No Lilly! Don't you see? If we run away, then we could get caught by the army or something! We will be killed! We have to stick together if we want to even try to live!" Ellie yells at me. I rolled my eyes at her. 'This is why i'm trying to get you to come with me!!' I think to myself. Don't get me wrong, I love Ellie, but we tend to disagree on a lot of things.
"Fine Ellie. Don't come with me. Good luck getting smuggled into another city. I'm out of here." I told her, my voice breaking at the end. We promised to always be by each other. Always. I may sound like a crybaby, but she is the only one I care about, and now i'm about to leave her. 'I know she will be in good hands.' I thought to myself as I walked out the door. I turned around, looking back at Ellie, who now looked like she was about to cry. I shook my head and ran. I ran as fast as I could. By the time I stopped running it was night time. I looked around myself, taking in my surroundings. I was in a forest. I walked over to the dirty pond nearby and drank some of its disgusting water. As I was taking a drink, I remembered that I had my backpack with me, filled with everything I knew I would need, such as clothes, water, food, bullets, a gun, ect. Yes, I did manage to take a gun from the fireflies. Suprising?
I climbed up a tree and layed my head against the back of it. I started thinking about today. I hope Ellie will be okay... If she isn't, How will I ever live with myself? I'm so selfish..
I eventually stopped thinking about that and tried to think about something else. Since I couldn't I started softly singing a song that I wrote. (Song on side, not really my song)
As I reached the end of the song I slowly fell into a deep, dark, dreamless sleep.
