Hunter And Ellis: 2

TWO:
I wake up to movement.

He's trying to leave again. I pounce him in an instant. ARGH! Too bright too bright! I hiss in pain and fall back. But I still keep a good hold on his foot. He tries to release my hold. I get up and drag him back. Away from the light. I place him back on my sleeping area, a little more roughly this time. He's stubborn. Will he persist though? I grab a piece of food and throw it at him. Hits him in the face. I smirk at that. He opens the bags and eats. It looks like most of the wounds healed. Good. But he bound his arm strangly. Why? He finishes, then looks at me. He points to himself, then says something. He repeats it. Finally I understand.

"Ellis". He says this with some confidence. I nod slowly. So his name is Ellis. He shifts into a different postion. He suddenly starts talking. I don't understand him, and it gets annoying. But it's better then silence. He continues talking, until I growl a threat. He goes silent, and I sigh. Why do I keep him alive? I look at him. He's nervous. I roll my eyes. It's getting darker. I sigh in relief. I pick at the floor, and Ellis picks up another bag of food. He opens it, and stuffs his face. So bored. I shuffle through the junk, and find my toy. It's round, white, and bigger then my fist.

I throw it at a nearby wall. It hits it and comes back. I repeat this for a while. I soon grow bored again. I throw it into my junk, and leave. Time to kill. I search. I find an infected. Good enough. I wait. Pounce. Rip flesh. Tear with one hand. Then other. Repeat. It stops moving. I get up. Something's wrong. I head back. He gone! Dammit! I hear a cough. Smoker.  How dare he! I leave. There! He has Ellis! I scream. I pounce. I rip it's tongue out. I shred at it. A cloud of smoke comes out. I choke on the cloud. Ellis! I look over. He looks fine. I pick him up, and return. I place him down. I swat him on the head.

Idiot. I cough a little, and go back to my spot. Why does he persist?! And why do I even keep him alive? I don't understand myself sometimes. I sigh, and slouch against the wall. Dahm Human. I should just kill him. But...there's something about him. I hit my head against the wall, frusterated. Ellis looks at me oddly. A grim thought suddenly comes to mind.

He won't last long. Not like this.
