"Ellie!" Joel hisses at her as she begins taking off. "Ellie!"
The sound of the guy's screams for help is like a deafening alarm going off, bound to attract attention, but Ellie running straight for him--
Fuck. Fuck. What if there are more of them nearby? What if they're nearby and are making a beeline for the guy's screams? The guy's gotta be finished, Joel knows that, but protective instincts kick in: clutching his bow tight in his hand, he vaults over the log and launches into a fast pounding run.
"Up there!" he hears someone shout not too far away down the steep outcrop, and Joel finds him ducking madly for cover as a bullet suddenly fires off into the night, whizzing right past his head.
