Ellie sighed quietly and pulled the map, that Joel had given her, out of her pocket before looking around where they were walking, starting to take notice of the similarities between the piece of paper and the world around her, they were almost there, "It shouldn't be too far now." She said to
(Y/N) who still hadn't said a word to her since their fight in the building.

(Y/N) stayed silent, not giving Ellie any acknowledgement for what she had said. Ellie shook her head and angrily shoved the map back into her pocket, "Oh for fuck sake! C'mon (Y/N), I said I was sorry! Stop being such a baby about it and suck it up, everybody has their secrets!" She yelled in anger, causing
(Y/N) to stop abruptly, "It's not something that you can just tell someone!"

"I screwed up okay! Is that what you wanna hear? I know, I should've told you, but, fuck, I was scared! People would kill to be immune like me!" She continued to rant, not noticing that
(Y/N) had turned around to face her, crossing her arms. (Y/N) raised an eyebrow at Ellie's face as it simultaneously changed from angry to sad in a matter of seconds, "I was afraid that if I told you, you'd fucking abandon me! Without you I would've never gotten here, I would never be able to find Joel, and those Bandits would've already killed me!"

"Hey," (Y/N) started to say, taking a few steps towards her, holding her hands up in calming manner as she noticed that Ellie's breathing had picked up, "Calm down, Pipsqueak, you'll give yourself a heart attack." She said, not noticing the large man watching her and Ellie from behind a store window, "Yes, I'm angry but I wouldn't abandon you. I'm not that mean, am I?" She tried to joke, putting a fake smile on her face.

"We made a deal, remember? And I always keep my promises." She said, taking another step towards her as the man left the store quietly, crouch walking closer to them, making sure not to be seen. Ellie wiped her nose with her sleeve and let out a tiny laugh as the man moved closer to (Y/N).

"Now let's get to that drop off
before - !" (Y/N) started to say before she was cut off by the large figure, who had tackled her to the ground, her guitar being thrown off on the process. Ellie gasped and jumped back in surprise as
(Y/N) was thrown to the ground, the large man wrapping a hand around her throat.
(Y/N) grunted in pain, gasping for breath as she landed on her back, the large man going to punch her in the face with his other hand, his eyes widening as (Y/N) caught his fist in mid air with her left hand.

(Y/N) glared at the Man, letting out a growl before using her right arm to elbow him in the face. The man's head swung to the side, a bruise forming on his temple as (Y/N) kneed him in the groin. Tucking her feet underneath him, (Y/N) braced her feet on his stomach and push her legs up, throwing him off of her. The teenager quickly stood up, letting out a cough as she tried to regain her breath.
