(A/N: I'm real sorry it took so long, I've had a lot of time to think and to be honest I haven't had huge inspiration to keep typing this story even though I have typed the ending and all that but I will just put out the chapters when I feel they are good enough. So....BIG SIGH here we go....)

Thanks for reading!

Few hours earlier: before Joshua was jumped just Abby's group~

"You had a right to be angry at him though, you know"

"Yes...but for what exactly? All that time, Joshua and Joel and later Sasha all did it in the end so I would live..."

"That's why you went to him about it?"

Ellie nodded and adjusted her hood down to her nose to block the small gusts of cold wind

"When I did that night Joshua said he didn't want to lie to me any longer"

"Couldn't handle the guilt anymore, huh?" Dina asked and Ellie shook her head

"I understand...why he did it and he knew why I wanted to go to the fireflies, but like a dumb ass, I didn't look at the full picture of their intentions...Joshua....he, was the reason I even went to Joel yesterday..."

Dina nodded "hm...Hey...do you think Joshua still cares for you?"

"It's only been a few days..."

"I know, but when he broke up with you—"

"It's complicated, Dina..."

"I'm sorry..."

It was now around 5 pm and Dina and Ellie were on their horses while the winter winds started to pick up making thick fog appear

"We should head back" Dina suggested but Ellie tightened her grip on the reigns "if we hurry we won't have to stay somewhere til this storm stops"

"You can head back if you want to, Dina...I have to see if Joshua is out here..."

Dina crossed her arms as she pulled her horse Sparkles to a stop

"I thought you guys were broken up, why do you care if he's out here or not?"

Ellie looked back with a glare in her eyes as a strand of her hair blew in her view because of the wind

"That doesn't mean I don't care for his safety, Dina" her tone being a bit louder as Dina looked down "I want to make sure he's alright, and in case you forgot we passed his mother a while ago?? Joel and Tommy are out here too, so I'm not going back"

Dina looked to the side "fine...I'll go see if Jesse had any luck, just be careful okay?"

Ellie smiled at her "thank you, I'll come right back with them all" she said and cheek clicked to make Shimmer gallop away, Dina looked down and turned her house Sparkles to the side and rode to the left

10 minutes later Dina came to a halt as she slowly approached a lone figure kneeling down in the snow, with a black horse looking up at her, she didn't know if it was a runner mowing down on something or if it was those enemy strangers so she clicked her gun in their direction, why would a runner not be eating the horse, Dina frowned her eyebrows

"Don't make any sudden moves" she called and the person stood up and looked back it was revealed to be Joshua

"Huh? Joshua...?" She questioned as she lowered her gun
