Summary
Ellie catches the tail end of Dina murmuring something along the lines of, “-ou’re not in trouble, okay? I promise. I promise,” and then she loses again to the hand tugging at her shoulder, the voice in the back of her mind.
David.
He promises everything will be easier if she just gives in, and for the first time in her life, she believes him.
Or; After a bad experience at a bonfire in Jackson, the events of silver lake come back to haunt Ellie.

Summary
“Joel…”
Ellie’s voice rings out behind him – it sounds tiny and frightened all of a sudden. And winded, like she’s had the breath knocked out of her.
Joel turns around to face her, needing to know that she’s okay, thinking she must have caught the raider’s elbow in the gut, a rebuke on the tip of his tongue for jumping into the fray like that, what was she –
Blood. Oozing darkly, heavily between Ellie’s fingers. Her hands clasped to her side.
Joel is suddenly paralyzed, can’t speak even if he wanted to, unable to breathe, unable to process this impossibility in front of him. It’s like his brain has short-circuited.
How – how can that – how did – ?
Joel looks back to the dead man on the ground. There, clutched in his limp right hand. The broken handle of the baseball bat he’d swung at Joel’s head, snapped into a sharp, jagged shard. Stained red with blood.
Or: The one where Ellie is grievously injured at the university and Joel crosses paths with a preacher in the woods.Bookmarked by A_children

Summary
Joel sighs, runs his hand wearily over his face. “Baby,” he says, and despite herself, Ellie feels her shoulders relax at the nickname. “This - it’s a threat against all of us. It’s not something we can let lie.”
“I’m not telling you to just let it lie,” Ellie retorts. “Just- why does it have to be you?”
Joel looks away, shifts on his feet. “Ellie,” he says, and the timbre of his voice rakes a claw down her spine. “You know why.”
She does, and that’s the thing- she’s not sure she’s worth it, this kind of love that goes blind with rage in the face of threats, the kind of love that drives people out of their homes and into the night and away from their families. The kind of love that demands sacrifice. It sits uneasily beneath her skin, like an electric current.
*
Jackson is threatened - and Ellie steps up.
