The Last Of Us discussion

Charlie's old place.

Evey drove in, not wanting to wake Char or Cara, but feeling so tired. And that was when the first infected slammed against the driver's door.

He shot through the glass, shattering it. Evey yelped and put her hands over her head curling up and scrabbling at her belt for her gun. She looked up and stepped on the gass as a hand reached in and gripped her arm, holding on like steel. "CHAR!"

She drew the gun and slammed the doors shut. Cara was safe in the car, for now, and she ran to Char, aiming and firing as each of the monsters got closer, getting them in the eyes every time. "Char, get up! Help me!"

She grabbed him and screamed as one got behind her, hands encircling her neck. "CHAR! Please, Char, help!"

She shot at them. "The car! Char, the car!" She shot two of the four reaching into the windows and scrabbling around for Cara.

Evey was relieved. They were safe, all of them. They'd all gotten out of it alive. Then she felt the blood rolling down her neck and her hand darted up. Spores. "Char?"

She started to cry. Her life had just begun. She'd just begun to enjoy it. "Charlie, I'm so sorry," she said, clutching her gun in both hands and bringing it up under her chin.

((Immunity. :P))

((:P I thought it would be fun. Besides, Char can probably keep her around for a while, insisting on a trial, to see if she infects or not, because if she dies, it'll likely drive him mad.))

((I can delete my comments. I was actually planning this for a long while, though, with Joel before Immunity became something cheap that everyone wanted. I thought it would be cool to have his 'little sister' figure get sick and he'd try to shoot her and all that. Then Joel wasn't a major character at all.))

She smiled weakly. "I'm walking dead, Char, just... Don't let Cara look. She's not really nine."

"I... I had a friend that was immune, once," she said, "But..." she wiped her eyes. "Honestly, Char? What are the chances?"

She closed her eyes. "What about Cara?"

"Tie me up," she growled. "make sure I can't hurt anyone. Keep your distance and watch me. And when -I mean, if I start to degenerate, kill me quickly. Please, Char, please."

"It's okay?" she asked, trying to see her neck. "Maybe his fingernails did it, when he grabbed me, and he didn't actually bite me!"

She hugged him back, laughing and sobbing. "I didn't mean to freak you out," she said, kissing his lips.

"Here, one moment." She ran to the car and opened it, scooping Cara out into her arms.

"I did not!" she shouted, cheeks red.

"Come on, let's stay here and play a game, okay?"

She smiled down at her. "Char will be back soon, and I want you to pick the game. I have cards in my pack."

"Which one's the main cabin? There aren't any C. O. R. P. S. E. S. es?"

She picked Cara up and helped her out of the car. "Keep your eyes closed for just a little bit, okay? Hold my hand. I promise I won't lead you into a building."

She bit her lips, hoping that the infected bodies had been cleaned up by Chris completely. "So, when we get in, if there's a bunk bed... Who gets top?"

"I'm not that tall!" she remembered fighting over how short she was. Her cheeks went pink. "BUT I'm not short either!"

She smiled a little and squeezed Cara's hand. "Let's go, okay? I'll shuffle go fish."

She led Cara into the house. "It looks good, for having lasted this long. Is this where you lived, Char?"

((I'm thinking Tess should show up at Ramdom))

((That could work!))

((Ok))

Ghost ran ahead of Midnight with Sha. Tess couldn't believe that a wolf and a lion were best friends.

Evey sat down, smiling and making animals with her fingers, biting Cara's nose.

She cast a worried glance at Char, but kept playing with Cara for a while longer. "Do you want to be bigger and help Charlie for a while?"

"O-okay." She ran out to the car, swinging open the smoking doors and grabbing the bags out of the car. She trotted back and looked around. "Where should I put our stuff?"

"Thank you, Char." She took his bag and went into the room. "Is this because you've been gone so long, or does it naturally look like a tornado hit?" She stuck her nose out from behind the door, grinning.

She laughed, and eyed some of the posters. "I don't know most of these."

((... Did you leave?))

"Huh. Most people Don't. 30 seconds to Mars, PTV, BVB, Slipknot." He smiled and patted the bed beside him.

((Why so many account changes?))

She sat next to him. "We didn't have good reception where we lived, and our radio was grainy, so..."

((My dad.))


He smiled and nodded "Yeah. Same here... " He held her hand and closed his eyes. "Get some sleep."

((What happens?))

She looked a little shocked. "Here?"

"Yeah. Sleep." He fluffed up his pillow and kissed her cheek.

((Its my Wi-Fi. I don't feel like explaining. Can you make me mod again?)

((I think so, gimme a sec.))

"Right now?" she asked, blushing and hoping he didn't notice.

"Yes. You're cute when you blush." He smiled and kissed her again. "Now, sleep. I know there aren't any covers, but just grab one of my old sweatshirts." He waved and shut the door. His room was painted to be like the outside of the TARDIS.

She ducked under and got her jacket out of her backpack, wrapping it around her and lying down. She wondered where he'd sleep, or that sweet kid.

Cara was in her bright pink room. She ran up to her bed and immediately fell asleep. Charlie laughed softly and closed her door. He walked back into his room and laid a few feet away from Evey on getting bed. He thought she needed space.

She moved over a little. "Dummy, you don't need the floor. It IS your bed."

"And you, princess, slept less than me. Sleep." He grinned, getting up and turning off the light, laying next to her. "Happy?"

"Yes, very," she said, taking his hand and laying on her side, facing him.

((I gtg soon))

"Why do you like me so much?" He asked, genuinely confused. "I'm ugly." He laughed, knowing it was true. He turned to her.
