Winter

The forest was now covered in snow as a rabbit came out of its home. An arrow then pierced it's neck and killed it instantly. The person picked up the arrow and took the rabbit off the arrow

Ellie: This could feed us for a day. What do you think

(Y/N): I think we should keep looking while the sun's still out, just to be sure

Ellie: Yeah, let's go

She tied the rabbit to the horse and once she finished she started worrying about Joel again. (Y/N) grabbed her hand and made her look at him

(Y/N): Hey, it's alright, he's getting better

She pulled him close and entrapped him in a hug and he returned it with equal amounts of affection. She looks deeply into his eyes and they share a small kiss

Ellie: Thanks

(Y/N): Anytime

Ever since Joel went into his coma (Y/N) and Ellie had a lot more alone time. Enough alone time to confess their feelings for each other. Just then, Ellie noticed an animal in the distance, a deer was eating not to far from them!

She quickly hitched her horse and chased after it with (Y/N). After chasing it for a while they spot it once again

(Y/N): You got this?

Ellie: Yeah, I got this

She reeled back her bow and kept it steady, she then let it go and hit the deer in the gut and it ran away

(Y/N): Nice shot!

Ellie: Thanks

(Y/N): Let's go after it, it'll bleed out and die soon

They quietly chase after the dying deer and spot it limping away from them. After a couple more shots with the bow and arrow it runs off but they hear a thud not long after. They run after it and spot an old and abandoned saw mill

Ellie: Oh great. Everything's cool. This place is not creepy at all

(Y/N): At least we only have to worry about infected and not some ancient creatures

Ellie: You're not making this any less creepy

They spot the deer laying on the floor dead then they hear a twig snap from behind them. Ellie got he bow ready while (Y/N) took out a pistol

(Y/N): Who's there

Ellie: Come out!

A man stepped out from tree and puts his hands up being followed by another man

???: Hello.... we just want to talk

Ellie: Any sudden move and I put one right between your eyes. Ditto for buddy boy over there

(Y/N): Why were you stalking us

???: We weren't stalking

(Y/N): Debatable

???: My names David, this here's my friend, James. We're from a larger group – women, children – we're all very, very hungry

Ellie: So are we

(Y/N): We got a colony to feed too

David: Well, maybe we could a, trade you for some of that meat. What do you need? Weapons, ammo, clothes–

Ellie: Medicine! Do you have any antibiotics?

David: We do. Back at the camp. You're welcome to follow us if you –
