How do you say goodbye when you're sure it's the last time?
Who: Allejandro and Ellie
What: Ellie leaves the ranch to find her own family
Where: The Reyes Ranch - Colorado, USA
When: Sometime around three years ago
Alle awoke with a start. The sun was beating down warm and bright against his face. He squinted with a groan and stretched, a shotgun held in his hands. He hesitated for a mere moment before standing rather quickly. He couldn’t believe that he’d fallen asleep. This guard duty thing, and the stress of the whole situation was starting to wear on him. The only thing that kept him going was his will to protect Ellie and his mother.
How long had he been asleep? He felt a chill as he rushed into the house and pounded up the stairs to find the last two people he had left. The ranch hands had all deserted, but Ellie had remained- and of course his silent mother had also. He’d told his mother as little as possible, but she wasn’t stupid and there was no telling if she knew the whole gravity of the situation.
“Ellie?” He called as he reached the top of the stairs, his heart was pounding in his chest from exhaustion and fear. He’d hardly eaten anything in the last week and he hadn’t been working out like he used to around the ranch. There was a lot of sitting, and waiting…for what, he didn’t know.
