Abby has to smile at the way Lev lays against her, but her brow arches as soon as he tries to feign sleep. She looks down at him, cracking that one eye open to see if she fell for it which earned him a look telling him she didn't.
"Nice try, kid." She smirked, but the smirk soon faded as he started to tell her more about the time they'd apparently suffered at the hands of these Rattlers. They tried to escape, which only got them tortured. Then they got rescued by Ellie and he remembered nothing after that, arriving her soon after.
Wait. Did he say...
"Ellie?" Abby bit out, anger dripping from that name. A name she never wanted to hear again for the rest of her life. Ellie that had killed every single one of her friends. Ellie that had wasted the fact that Abby had let her live, not once, but twice. She told her never to let her see her again. "Of course she came back. But she saved us? Look, I definitely am gonna need more of this story. But later, okay? First, let's get you taken care of. This doctor guy, Lincoln, he's waiting and I want you better before you tell me why this bitch didn't learn her fucking lesson again.
Abby was seething, thinking about her coming back again. Was she just going to keep coming back until one of them ended up dead? Abby had wanted to leave all that behind her. It had been so long now. Why the hell would she be coming for her again now?
