Ellie looked at Tommy and he nodded to her as he walked away, she briefly wondered what he was doing with that person on a black horse, but walked away to the houses area, not all that concerned.

Soon she started to pass the house that was in front of Joshua's place, debating on weather or not to go over to apologize, she looked down and decided to just do it when she got back from another mission tomorrow when she had more time to herself

A day later...

Joel was going on patrol with Tommy for a quick clean up of sighted infected, north where the ski lodge was and as he put on his coat, Sasha had her arms crossed

"It must be really bad out there" she pointed out as she approached him and adjusted his coat collar gently, he nodded to her as he put on his gloves and grasped both of her hands, catching her change of tone and their eyes met

"He wouldn't have requested me, if he thought it was nothing, but there's been too many infected wondering that area alone and it's strange" he answered rubbing her hand with his thumb "but once that's finally handled, we should be back before that storm hits tonight"

Sasha nodded a little to him then slowly reached her hand out to brush her fingers through his grey hair "yeah...hopefully it won't take that long..." she whispered tearfully, Joel closed his eyes to her touch and once she got to his forehead she flinched and gasped as intense flashes appeared in her mind as well as muffled voices

~

Through her eyes she saw Tommy unconscious with guns pointing down at him, someone looking at her and then turned forward and she heard
"You...d....get to rush this..." from a bitter sounding woman echoed and Joel's screams echoed soon after, and flashes ended with the back of a braided woman and a severely beaten up but motionless Joel, in a old blue room, on the floor in his own blood splattered. Her hand reached out to him

"Joel!!!!!"

~

The intense visions flashed over much more faster til it suddenly ended, Sasha came back to reality and the after shock made her stumbled back wards

"Ah!" Gasping as she did so, bumping hard into a table behind her almost knocking over the wooden statues, Joel grasped Sasha's shoulders before she fell forward on the floor

"Whoa, whoa, Sasha, easy!" He yelled as her eyes opened and she panted softly as she glanced around seeing she wasn't in the blue room she foresaw and saw Joel looking worriedly at her, tears immediately went down her cheeks as she started to cry

"Oh....Joel" she whispered, placing her hands on his arms and Joel swiped her bangs to the side gently with his fingers and rubbed her shoulders soothingly

"What did you see?" Joel asked, helping her up to stand, she was too in shock to speak so he touched her cheek gently and pulled her into his arms

"It's alright...you're alright, everything's okay" he whispered and Sasha's hand gripped his jacket tightly

"For how long....?" Sasha questioned aloud making Joel look at her

"What?" He asked, Sasha balled up her fists tightly and they shook, with fear taking over her thoughts

"It was worse...Joel...I'm afraid....that this time...you will leave and you won't come home to us.."

Joel touched her cheek and shook his head wiping the tears that fell from her eyes "no...it's not set in stone, Sasha, I swear I will come back, no matter what"
