ELLIE'S POV

I quickly sat up and took the clean white T-shirt and my flanel on and looked for my backpack and as I saw it I put it on. I went outside to look for Joel, Dina, Jesse and Thony I called out for them and no one responded as I called them I went to the cinema but they're not there so I went outside the cinema and there I found them. As I got out I saw Thony uncomfortably lying in the bed crying while holding her side I saw Dina holding Thony's head caressing it as Jesse puts a clean rag on top of her wound, Joel on the other hand watched what's happening and while he's watching he saw me then walked away to what's happening infront of him signalling me to come after him before I followed Joel I went towards Thony and let out a small smile and assuring her that she will be fine. After that I followed Joel on the inside balcony od the theater there I saw him resting joth his arms on the railings of the balcony I walked beside him and copied his stance

-" Thony's having trouble with her side last night" He stated
-" You should've woken me up so I could help" I said
-" No kiddo I knew you needed rest after what happened so I didn't woke you up" He said tilting his head to face me
-" Yeah" I said then let out a sigh
-" Where'd you get her?" Joel asked tilting his head down
-" She helped us escape a while back when we're in the TV station" I answered
-" Kiddo...I know why you came here and eventhough I wasn't here I can see how Thony's important for you, you do love her like your own but we need to take her back to Jackson she needs medical attention she's not gonna last long" Joel said with a worried voice
-" Yeah I know.......but.......I can't just let Abby live" I said
-" I know kiddo but----------" I cut him off his sentence
-" I know Joel I know........that's why I'm thinking that maybe Dina and Jesse can take her back to Jackson" I said tilting my head to face Joel
-" Ellie you do know that Jesse and Dina would never agree to leave you behind" Joel said
-" Yeah" I said then let out a sigh

Silence disturbbed again but Joel broke it

-" Goddammit.....fuck it" He said and looked at me seriously
-" I'll help you find Abby kiddo" He added
-" The aquarium you said it ain't far from here so let's go there and scout the area" He said
-" Ok let's go tell them we're leaving then" I said
-" Sure thing kiddo" He said

We went to where Dina, Jessa and Thony is. When we came Thony's already sleeping

-" Hey" I said
-" Hey" Dina said
-" How is she?" I asked Dina
-" She's fine we just got problems changing her bandage" Dina answered holding my hand that's placed on her shoulder
-" Hmmm.........uhmm babe can you help us with the door please" I said making Dina and Jesse looked at me
-" Where are you going?" Jesse asked
-" We're going to the aquarium" I answered
-" I'll come with you" Jesse said standing up but Joel stopped him
-" Jesse it's fine we can handle this.....you just stay here and look after Dina and Thony" Joel said
-" Ok" Jesse replied
-" Let's go" I said

Dina heloed us with the door and after she closed it me and Joel head off while we're walking we talked about Thony

-" Kiddo lemme ask you something" He said
-" Sure what is it?" I asked
-" What if we don't find Abby in the aquarium are you ok of letting her go?" Joel asked
-" I guess so" I said
-" Kiddo---" I cut Joel off his sentence
-" Joel.....Thony's more important I'm not risking her life I want her to live" I said
-" Ok..........ok" He said

We travelled and travelled while travelling we encountered different enemies but we're able to take care of them until we found the ferris wheel the Ferris wheel that signals us that we're getting close to the aquarium, But to get there we need a boat because the streets of seattle started flooding due to the intense rain coming down. We started looking for a boat and luckily we're able to find one. Joel immediately started the boat and we started making our way to the Aquarium waves became more dangerous and the worst part is  the boat we're riding ran out of gas so Joel had to power it up again in the middle of the big waves that are forming around us Joel started the boat but had no chance of powering it again then a hige wave rushed over us resulting for the boat to sink me and Joel got seperated and as I swimmed to the surface of the water I tried calling him again and again but there was no response I swimmed towards the nearest land and as I hot up form my feet I looked around and called out for Joel but I couldn't find him I started exploring the area and then I saw the Ferris wheel I was right next to it I looked at the nearest building and I saw the sign that says SEATTLE AQUARIUM for a minute I forgot about Joel and then I found myself coming towards the aquarium and making my way in and hoping that Abby is inside
