Chapter 12: Hotel

                                    

                                          
Alright! I'm finished with Part 2, and if you guys didn't read the last chapter of my review over it, you probably don't know what's going on. Don't worry, no spoilers. For those of you that tried to stay spoiler free; here you go. Part 2 is an absolute major disappointment. I'm extremely pissed as to how it went. That's all I'm gonna say on it here, if you want to know why, the chapter before this one tells you. 
                          
Do not worry! I'm still going to finish this story, and I will write the next one. I will try everything I can to make it better, and that means I'm going to be changing a lot. But, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. With that, let's keep this story going. Enjoy!
                          
Finally they headed out, and Y/N was now limping slightly. They made their way to the back of the store, which then led them into an alley. They had to make their way through some debris; but they found themselves in another road. "Get down." Joel ordered as he took cover behind a car along with the other two. They watched as they saw a group of hunters pick up a board and place it away from the gap it was on, before heading into a hotel. "Aw fuck, we're gonna have to go in there," Y/N said, already knowing that they would have to follow the hunters in order to get through.
                          
Chapter 12
                          
"Alright, I don't think they saw us." Joel said softly, moving out of cover slowly to make sure. Y/N and Ellie on the other hand, just kinda stood right up. "There's our bridge." Y/N pointed, looking over some debris to see it. "We're a little closer, I think." Ellie followed up with, squinting to see it. "Let's keep at it. Come on." Joel  said, waving on and walking towards where they saw the hunters. He didn't make it far before realizing the other two weren't behind him, but instead looking at a poster. 
                          
"Man, she's so skinny." Ellie said, looking at the model with some confusion. Joel walked over to stand by them and see what was going on. "I don't get it, I thought you guys had plenty of food back then." Y/N said, confusion on his face as they both looked at it. "We did." Joel clarified as he stood next to them. "Some just... chose not to eat it." He explained, looking at the two who seemed dumbfounded. "Why the hell not?" Ellie asked, just kinda stunned at this realization. "For looks." He answered again, now started to head back. "That's stupid."
                          
Joel walked ahead, spotting another door and bringing out a shiv to open it, leaving the two outside. "Hey Y/N! Did you know that 3.14% of saliros are Pi Rates." Ellie said, holding open a joke book as she looked at the other. He didn't really seem too amused by it. Determined, Ellie went on to another joke. "I stayed up all night wondering where the sun went, then it dawned on me." She tried again, looking up for any sort of reaction. "Ah, I get it." Was all he replied with, but he was smiling a bit underneath his mask.
                          
"What did the mermaid where to math class?" She asked, looking at him. "I dunno." He said, slightly curious. "An Algae Bra." This one finally got him to laugh, or at least somewhat chuckle. Joel came out from the store to find the two laughing, and had a small grin on his face. "Come on." He ordered, waving them on as he headed off. They got over to find that there was more water they couldn't walk through. "I can't make that jump." Joel said, looking at it. "If you get me up I can get that board." Ellie suggested, but then they heard some footsteps nearby and watched as Y/N went sprinting across a car, then leaped.
                          
He ended up hitting the side, his arms draped over and grabbing on to hold on. "Got it!" He forced out, pulling himself up and onto the makeshift bridge. "Oh man, that hurt." He said softly, looking over to see the other two watching him. "Woah." Ellie said softly, impressed at what he did. Y/N gave a small wave to them as he moved the board over to connect the bridge. "Ok, I still can't get there." Ellie pointed out, and Joel sighed a bit. "Give me a  minute."
