Warning: Contains Spoils for TLOU2

You're Joel's daughter

-

Your heart raced and your body shook with fear as you watched Abby swing a golf club towards Joel's head over and over again, blood splattering along the floor and onto the clothing of his ruthless murderer.

You squirmed wildly,tears cascading down your face as you screamed and cried for them to stop, but your pleas fell on deaf ears and she continued to swing, only stopping when the door of the basement you were in swung open.

Looking over to the door you were met with the worried face of Ellie. Her eyes scanned the room, landing on the bloodied face of Joel then locking onto your tear filled eyes as she turned to you.

"Ellie look out!." you cry, trying to warn her of the others in the room, but before your words could register in her mind, two men rush her. She managed to fight off the first one for a few seconds but ultimately lost the fight as they pushed her to the floor and held her down.

"Get off me!. Get the fuck off me!."

She thrashed under their hold, trying her best to slip away from them and over to you, but it was no use as a third member came up to Ellie, kicking her in the stomach over and over again causing her to cough harshly.

"Stop!. Please!." you cried, wanting nothing more than Ellie to be safe and unharmed.

"Shut up!." a group member yells, marching over to you to kick you in the stomach and face causing you to groan in pain and gasp for air. Ellie grew furious and tears pooled in her eyes "You're gonna fucking die!." she yells, watching as two more group members walk in.

"What the fuck is this?." the man asks, staring at Ellie who sends him a glare before glancing to you and Joel "Let them go!." she pleads.

The WLF members ignore Ellie and converse with one another, you try your best to listen in on their conversation, however, the only thing you're able to understand through your slightly dazed state was "You're done." and "Finish it.".

The masculine brunette glares at the male before walking back over to Joel, golf club in hand.

"Joel get up. Joel fucking get up!."

"Dad, please!. . . Please don't do this!. Just let him go!."

The brunette turns to look at you and your eyes lock. You continue to repeat plea after plea until your voice gives up on you. Your eyes continue to stay locked with the brunettes and while she has your attention she lifts the club, bringing it down with all her strength onto your fathers head causing a deadly crack to echo off the walls.

-

"Dad!." tears fall from your eyes at a rapid pace as you shoot upright in bed. You whimper and raise your hand to your chest, fingers grasping at the fabric of your shirt just above your heart.

"Y/n?." Ellie speaks, voice laced with sleep. It took a few second for her to realize what was going on, but after hearing the heartbreaking sound of you sobbing she sat up in bed, pulling you into her side as she did.

"Hey,hey it's okay. You're okay." she whispered, trying her best to bring you comfort.

"H-he. . . D-dad."

Ellie frowns and pulls you into her lap "I know, I'm sorry, babe but it's okay, you're okay." you sniffle and nuzzle your head into the crook of her neck.

Ellie sighed and rubbed your back, tears of her own falling from her eyes as she thinks back to the day of Joel's death. It's been two months since that day and lately, almost every night, you have a nightmare of that exact moment.

After what felt like an eternity of sobbing, you finally calm down. You continued to sit on Ellie's lap though, head resting in her neck as you gripped onto her shirt.

"Are you okay now?."

You wordlessly nod and wrap your arms around her neck, snuggling further into her, craving her warmth and comfort.

"I'm sorry." you apologize, voice hoarse and quiet.

Ellie shakes her head "You don't have anything to be sorry about. I have nightmares about it too, it's okay. Do you think you can go back to sleep?."

You shrug "Maybe?. I think I can if you hold me. . .  Can you hold me?."

Ellie smiles and starts to lay down, bringing you along with her "Of course I can." 

When you're completely laying down you entwine your legs with Ellie's and rest your head upon her chest. Ellie wraps an arm around your back and gently runs the pad of her thumb along your spine.

"Thank you, Ellie. I love you."

Ellie grins sleepily and closes her eyes, allowing herself to relax now that you were comfortable and okay.

"Of course. I love you too."

After a few, silent and comforting moments, you finally fall asleep. Ellie lets out a relieved sigh once she notices you've fallen back asleep and she allows herself to relax. She continued to rub your back and stay awake for a few more minutes, wanting to make sure you were actually asleep and okay, and once she knows for sure that you aren't going to wake up in tears again, she allows herself to fall asleep.
