Vengeful W.L.F [Ellie x Reader]

[10]:Familiarity

-

"There." you mutter, index finger placed upon the small map displayed before you "That's the way we take, should lead us right to her."

Using your finger to trace the path you'll take to execute your plan, you turn to Ellie. She glances at you for a quick second before looking back to the map, nodding.

"You're sure thats the quickest way?" she questions, tracing the path herself. You sigh softly, crossing your arms as you lean against a nearby wall "It's not the quickest...but it's the safest. Going any other way could cause us to run into more W.L.F's or Scar's."

Sighing Ellie stands straight, glancing around the map one final time before looking into your eyes, breath hitching when your gazes meet.

Clearing her throat and nodding Ellie silently takes the map, folding it neatly before placing it in her backpack that rests near her feet.

"Then I guess we should get going. We need to get to Abby as soon as we can.."

Nodding you swing your bag over your shoulders. Once you're both ready to go Ellie leads you down the theatres staircase and to the front door where Jessie awaits.

"Well hello there." the tall man greets, hand held out for you to shake "Names Jesse, and you are?"

Glancing from Jesse to Ellie you give her a confused look, taking the new strangers hand "Uuh...y/n."

Chuckling at the sight of your awkward introduction Ellie pats your shoulder and moves to lift the chair from the doors bar "You're amazing at meeting new people n/n." Ellie compliments sarcastically.

You huff and roll your eyes taking your hand back and stepping outside the theatre when the door is opened.

"I'm great at meeting new people...just...didn't know where he came from was all. I didn't see him when we came in yesterday."

Jesse and Ellie chuckle at you, small grins tugging on their lips as the door shuts behind them "I was here the entire time missy, was just sleepin' in the back. Didn't get much of a welcome here runnin into your folks."

You scoff and shake your head "They're not my folks." looking down at the sewn emblem upon your jacket you sigh "...Not anymore."

Ellie frowns at the tone of your voice and moves to steps forward, matching your pace as you travel through the rundown city. Taking your hand Ellie smiles at you, giving your hand a gentle squeeze when your eyes meet as you look over at her.

"Don't worry y/n, you don't need those people anyways, you're much better off without them."

Quirking a brow at Ellie you sigh and nod, looking forward again and squeezing her hand.

"Thanks El." you grin. Ellie smiles, a small blush forming across her face at the feeling of you squeezing her hand. Jesse watches from behind, a knowing smile worn upon his lips as he chuckles softly, earning Ellies attention.

Glancing over her shoulder her eyes connect with Jesse's. The tall man quirks a brow, a shit eating grin etched onto his face.

Ellie rolls her eyes and furrows her eyebrows, shaking her head as she turns to look forward once more, ignoring the quiet laughter of Jesse that echo's behind the two of you.
