Vengeful W.L.F [Ellie x Reader]

[11]: Left Behind

"Lets. . Lets go get your friend." you spoke softly as you stood from your crouched position and stepped into the open street before you. Ellie and Jessie nod and follow you out into the open street, weapons ready and eyes open in case anything were to happen.

"So. ." Jessie starts ". . What happened between you and your ol' folks? Never really got the story."

Glancing from the shattered concrete beneath your boots to Jesse, you take a deep breath, slowly letting it out as you continue to move forward.

". . . Lets just say they did things I never wanted to do."

Quirking a brow at what you had just said Jesse looks to Ellie, the brunette shakes her head lightly and looks forward, watching the road as she gently takes your hand.

"Lets keep moving, the sooner we find Tommy the quicker we find Abby."

Sighing softly you nod and take hold of Ellie's hand ". . . The gunshots are getting closer, which must mean your friend is too. If we're heading the way I think we are, it's going to lead us to an open road. We'll have to go around, hide in the trees till you spot your friend."

Nodding in understanding Ellie starts walking over to the tree line, pulling you gently behind her while Jesse follows.

-

"There." Ellie whispers as she points towards a crumbled parking garage "That's where he has to be. The gunshots are coming from inside and I can see the sunlight shining on the scope."

Looking to Ellie you nod and walk out from the tree line "Then lets go catch him before he goes any further." Marching towards the parking garage Ellie claims to have seen Tommy in, you take out your pistol.

"Keep your guard up. I know you may think this is your friend, but if it's not we'll have to act quickly. WLF roam this lot all the time, which means there's a high possibility that its an enemy sniper."

Ellie and Jesse hum in acknowledgement and take out there pistols, following behind you towards the parking garage.

-

Silently stepping into the parking garage you arm your pistol and keep it close to you, your flashlight lights the way through the dark space.

As the three of you make your way up to the top of the garage gunshots continue to go off, getting sufficiently louder with each step you take.

Soon enough you reach the highest point of the parking garage. The gunshots have come to a stop, an uncomfortable silence filling your ears as you look for Tommy.

"Are you sure your friend was up here?" you whisper as you glance to Ellie. The brunette nods "Sounded like his rifle." taking a deep breath you nod and search throughout the parking garage.

After a few more minutes of looking around and coming up with nothing, you let your guard down and sigh "Look, I don't know if it was him or not, but whoever it was. . They're gone."

Sighing heavily Ellie and Jesse curse quietly "It had to be him. That sounded just like his rifle." Ellie exclaims as she wonders around.

"I'm sorry Ellie but- wait. ." Looking to you, Jesse quirks a brow "What?-" "Shh. . be quiet."

Looking to your right where you hear movement you take your pistol out and aim.
