IN PICTURE: ELLIE (LEFT) LILLY (RIGHT) AS THREE YEAR OLD'S
COULDN'T FIND MANY THAT WOULD FIT!!
I am so so sorry that I haven't updated in so long, but my computer is broken and I don't know when I'll get another one. I'm on my Mom's computer right now though since she's at work. So I'll try to update often, but sorry if I don't... I'm not used to my mom's keyboard either, So if I spell things wrong or it doesn't make since, I'm sorry. I'll try my best though.. BTW, I don't like cussing, so I won't put it in there a lot,but there will be occasions where there will be cussing, In this chapter, towards the end there is a lot. BTW this chapter takes place when Tess announced that she was infected.
I woke up the next morning to the sound of someone looking for something. I opened my eyes and turned to see what was happening. That girl I met yesterday, Stella, was looking through her bag for either ammo or water. She looked over to me and smiled at me "Glad your finally awake! Check this house. We have to leave before the infected get here.." She told me. I didn't bother responding, since there was no real need too. I got out of the dusty bed and headed over to my bag, changing my clothes into what Ellie used to wear, and leaving my hair down so it flows down to mid-back. I looked around the house, occasionally finding things that held memories. When I was done, I had found scissors, tape, alcohol (For medicine), a lot of rags, a picture of our parents, another picture of Ellie and I, and a family picture.
Stella and I left the house around the afternoon, setting off for somewhere we would be safe. I still didn't trust Stella very much, But I still thought that I should try to be friends with her. We were walking and climbing until dawn, when Stella decided to try to talk to me. "So.. Is it just you or do you have family or what?" She asks me. I know she meant no harm, but honestly wouldn't I be with my family if I still had them? Something inside me just snaps.
"Really? If I had a family don't you think I would be with them instead of some girl I just met, who could kill me at any moment if she wanted too?" I snapped at her. I don't know why, Maybe because I still miss Ellie? I wish I never left her. I wonder if she is okay.. I really hope she is. I could never live with myself if shes not. Who knows though, she could be with someone who could take care of her, who loves her, and who would never leave or hurt her like I did... I sure hope so..
I zoned back into the conversation, and looked over at Stella. She looked hurt from what I said. "I'm sorry it's just.. I left my sister and I don't even know if she's still alive right now. Can we just change the subject please?" I sighed. She replied with a simple "Sure", but still looked hurt. Now I feel bad.. It will go away.. Hopefully..
(A/N: I was gonna end it here but I suppose I can add more. Just don't be mad with what happens please. It will get better soon.)
Stella and I walked more, talking, laughing, and singing together. I decided that I could trust her, but I still didn't let my guard down. For all I know she's planning my murder behind my back. I sure hope not.. I really am starting to like her as a sister. She will never replace Ellie, but she's still like a sister. Kind of like Riley (A/N: If you haven't finished the game you won't know who that is), But Riley was more of Ellie's friend than she was mine. We were still best friends, but her and Ellie were closer.
We kept walking, until we eventually come upon a place with a LOT of booby-traps set up. Crap. We are dead. I looked at Stella, worried about what might happen.
"Don't worry Lilly, I won't let anything happen to you as long as I'm here." Stella tells me.
"What about you Stella? First we had to worry about the infected, Then the military, and now this! Maybe we can find someone to help us?" I say, rushing with my words, trying to figure something out fast before something happened to us.
"Lilly, Lilly, calm down. We will be okay." She tries to calm me down, but it doesn't work well. I am still freaking out. I see someone out in the distance staring at us. It looks like a man, although it had longish hair so I'm not really sure.
"Help! Help us please!" I yell towards the figure. It started walking to us, and as the figure got closer, I could now tell that it was a man, who had a bit of a crazed look in his eyes. I looked to Stella, to see that she was looking at him in disapproval. When the man get to us, he yanks us away from the traps, careful not to step on any, and leads us to a building. We are there within 3 minutes.
The man takes handcuffs and handcuffs Stella to the pipe, while I am thrown to the ground, him throwing off my backpack and checking me for, I think, signs of infection. Luckily, while Ellie had been bit on the arm, I had been bit on the ankle, and my combat boots cover it all. After he decides I'm not infected, he looks through my bag. I surprised I haven't yelled at him yet. I guess since Ellie is gone, I have lost most of my confidence. I wonder what Ellie is doing right now..
I zone back into what the man was doing, and see that he put my gun, knife and other weapons on the table. I looked at Stella to see that she had somewhat of a panicked look on her face. Wait.. He will let us live if we aren't infected... Does that mean..?
"YOUR F*CKING INFECTED!!" I scream at Stella. I can't believe this. "WERE YOU JUST WAITING UNTIL YOU TURNED, BEFORE YOU INFECTED ME AS WELL? I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU!" Although I wanted to scream "TOO BAD YOU CANT INFECT ME", I didn't. I look at the man, and watched as the man took my gun from the table and pointed it at her, about to say something, but not before I grabbed the knife that I keep strapped to my thigh and run over to her, putting the knife up to her neck.
"WHERE THE F*CK IS THE BITE?" The man and I scream at her in unison. I would have laughed if it wasn't for what was happening right now. Her eyes widened at what we were doing, but knowing her fate, she lifted her sleeve on the arm that was handcuffed to the pipe. Before I could react, she had stole the knife from my hand and turned us so my back was against the wall and the knife against my thought. She seemed to forget that the man was there. Although he seemed to be in deep thought.
"I am not dieing by myself. You are what? 14? Your 3 f*cking years younger than me, and weaker than me and you don't even get a simple scratch. Your as bad as my sister was before I killed her. If I'm going down, you are too. If you think about it, I'm helping you." She whispers into my ear, softly, acting as if shes doing me a huge favor that could actually help me.
"I trusted you. I knew I shouldn't have. Go ahead. Kill me. Just remember what happened when you wake up in Hell (A/N:I don't think it's a bad word if you use the place and not like "what the ____") tomorrow." I tell her, meaning every word I said. I don't think my mind was actually there though. It's like I knew what was happening, but my mind was already leaving this world. I felt a small cut on my neck before I heard a gunshot, and all the pressure that was on my was lifted. I fell on the ground, coughing from the lack of air I had with her leaning on me. I look over to where she was. The only thing keeping her from being on the ground was the handcuffs, although it looks as though the pipe was about to break.
I watched as blood slowly dripped from her gunshot wound onto the floor, creating a puddle. I looked into her eyes, seeing very little life left in them as she managed to squeeze out the word "Help."
"Go rot in Hell, B!tch." I tell her, watching as the small amount of life came out of her. I heard her very faintly say "See you there." before all the life was taken from her. I took the handcuffs off of her, seeing how the pipe was about to break. I looked to the man.
"Thank you." I tell him. If it weren't for him I would be dead right now. I already feel safe around him. "I'm Lilly." I said, extending my hand out to him to shake.
"Bill." He said roughly. Well, nice to see he's a people person. Note the sarcasm. I put all my things back into my bag,sorted out through Stella's bag, finding things that could be useful, and talked to Bill about leaving. He said I could stay here for a little while, since I'm still pretty shaken up over what happened.
Hope this was good!! Sorry for taking so long! I tried to make it long for you guys! I don't know when I'm going to update next, though I will try to make it soon.
