Chapter 27

Vincent walked through the silent house trying to ignore the pain. His shoulder ached and throbbed. His leg twinged with every step he took. Reese, still angry with Ellie took off into the woods two nights ago. He still hadn’t come back. Vincent wondered if he would. Vincent took two steps into the infirmary and saw her slumped in the chair next to the examination table they laid Edward’s body on. He sighed, cursing Edward.

Vincent had no other choice. He was going to kill Ellie and Vincent would never let that happen. He warned Edward of that the night they rescued him from St. Verens. Vincent hated what it had done to her, though. He would do anything. Give anything to wipe the pain from her eyes. Vincent stood there watching her chest rise and fall. All he could see was that look of hatred. It haunted him.

Vincent shuffled over to her. Edward was still a pile of so much raw, red meat. Broken bones stuck out of his torn flesh. Ellie was a mess. Her yellow hair tangled and pulled back into a messy bun, still stained red with Edward’s blood. Vincent brushed gently at the bangs that had fallen into her face.

Ellie stirred. Her eyes opening, she took in a quick, sharp breath. She swallowed, looking up at him with a tight-lipped smile. “Hey, how you doing?” she asked.

“Come upstairs,” Vincent pleaded. “Please.” His eyebrows moved with the word.

“I need to make sure he is alright.”

“El,” Vincent whispered. “I'm sorry.”

Ellie took his hand. She laced her fingers between his. “I know... I know you had to do it. And I know Reese is right,” she admitted, tears springing to her eyes. “Something is wrong with him,” Ellie whispered, her voice breaking. “I've seen it. I just- just couldn't admit it.”

With a wince of pain, Vincent slid his arm around her. She leaned in against his warm, half-naked body. Vincent stared at the wall. He remembered the look in Edward's eye when he turned on her. It was Vincent’s greatest fear given shape. He had been so afraid that one day, he would do the same thing to her.

“What if he doesn't come back?” Ellie whispered against his stomach.

Vincent pulled back by inches and sank down resting on his haunches. Face to face with her, he brushed the back of his hand across her tear stained cheek. Vincent stared into her shining green eyes.

“He will,” Vincent whispered. “He is strong, just like you.”

Ellie tried to smile. Instead, she broke down into sobs. “I don't want to do this anymore,” she cried. “So afraid every moment of every day.” Ellie looked into his face. “Me and you, it was different. It was hard. But I knew we would be all right,” Ellie sobbed.

She ran her hands through his hair. Ellie leaned forward, laying a kiss on his forehead. “I thought once he was safe.” She sniffed. “I figured I could rest. I thought it could just be us. But he's not safe.
