Also. Leave your opinion about the characters.
Chapter 1: A New Day (1)
It was a day like any other, but with a small difference. Uncle Lenny decided to take me with him somewhere. I didn't ask any questions but I know that whatever he's doing, it's wrong.
"I'm gonna go in the pawn shop. Wait here a bit". He told me as he left the car.
I know that my dad didn't let him take the car.
I'm so bored. Why did i had to come along, I usually stay home alone anyway.
Uncle Lenny is coming back but..., where did he get that money?.
He enters the car again.
He turns the car on and starts to drive
"Where did you get that cash". I decided to ask him.
"It's a pawn shop, You give them something and they give cash for it" Oh my god, he really thinks i'm stupid.
"I know what a pawn shop is, and I know you don't have anything on you that's worth that much money. What did you pawn it?" Did he steal something from my dad?.
"That's really not of your business Ben" I hate when he calls me Ben.
"My name is Bentley!,Not Ben" Now i'm sure he stole something from dad.
"What did you took?" I decided to ask him without hesitation.
"I didn't took anything" I know you're lying.
"Fine" I'm gonna tell dad and i hope he finally kicks you out.
I decided to watch the road as there is nothing else to do in the car.
But I have a really strange feeling as I see several police cars going into the city.
"Why there so many police cars going into the city?" I asked uncle Lenny.
"How should I know?. There is probably a robbery or something". He tells me.
As I keep looking at the window, I noticed more and more cars going into the city and a... helicopter?.
"There is something going on!" I tell him
"Just be quiet Ben." He called me Ben again.
"Don't call me Ben" I tell him again.
"Fine, I'll call you shitbird instead then." Shitbird?.
"You know what. Call me whatever you like I don't care". I don't know why I keep talking to him.
He turns his head around and starts talking.
"What?, You gonna whine to daddy when we get home" he tells me as I keep ignoring him.
But as I turn my head to look at him I notice that there is someone on the road.
"WATCH OUT" I scream as loud as I could but it was too late.
My uncle hit the men with the car causing us to lose control and fall off the road.
Sometime later
"Ahhhhh" The strangled cry comes out of my throat, and my body hurts. "Ouch".
As I open my eyes, I notice the car is destroyed and me and my uncle were unconscious after the fall.
"Uncle Lenny?" I say.
"Is he dead?" I ask myself as I try to take the seat belt off
"Argh, C'mom" I say while trying to take the seat belt off
It's stuck, I need something to cut it off.
I search around the car to find something to cut the belt off.
After a small search I found some broken glass on the floor and decides to grab it
"Ouch" I cry after cutting my hand with glass. "Dammit".
As I raise my bloody hand with the glass on it I cut the belt setting myself free.
"Uncle Lenny?" I called "WAKE UP, YOU LAZY IDIOT". I screamed at him
"Ahh what?" He says to me as he opens his eyes.
"Look around" I say to him
He actually does what I said as he looks around.
"Holy shit, What the hell happen" He tells me, Did the dumb ass forgot?
"You hit a guy on the road,and then lost control of the car". I tell him.
"OH FUCK" He curses
Then he starts to hit the car's window with his elbow.
"What exactly are doing?" I asked
"I'm not going back to jail Ben". Jail? And he's still calling me Ben?.
I hits the window again breaking it this time. "Got it"
As he crawls out of the window, I decide to do the same.
After we both left the car we both took a good look around and see that we're on a forest.
"Shit,Now what". Uncle Lenny says as he looks around.
I look around trying to find some way to go
"Look" Uncle Lenny points into something, It's far and hard to see, it looks like a person "HEY, GO GET SOMEONE, WE HAD A ACCIDENT" The person runs away as my uncle screams.
Out of nowhere I start to heard some strange sound coming from the forest and as I turn around, I see someone coming out of the bushes
But as it gets closer I noticed it isn't a person.
It was some type of monster.
"Uncle?" I said
"Be quiet Ben, I need to think" He tells me, still looking the other way.
"Uncle!" I repeat it.
"Shut up" He says
"LENNY!" I finally scream
"What?, What the hell?" He finally turns around and sees the monster.
But before we could react we see several other monsters coming out of the bushes.
"What do we do?" I asked uncle as I turned around and notices that he started to run.
Before I could say anything, I decided to follow him as the monster are after us.
We meet a dead end as we find a fence.
My uncle climb over without bothering in giving me a hand.
I quickly follow him as we both got in the other way.
We got as far away from the fence as we hear the monster on the other side.
(BANG),(BANG), Two loud noises that sounded like gun shots caches the monsters attention as the go on the way the noise came from.
"Fuck, What the hell were those things?". My uncle says it to me, while I still mad at him for running.
"I don't know" I tell him while looking around. "We should see if there's someone home". As I noticed the house
My uncle goes to the glass door and knocks in it.
"Hello, Anybody home?" He asks. "It looks empty"
He goes back and the backyard and starts to look for something.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Looking for something to open the door" He says.
"By 'open' you mean breaking it" I say to him.
"You got any better idea, shitbird?" Oh now is back to shitbird?.
"Did you try opening the door?" I say.
"You're goddamn idiot" He says to me and keeps looking for something to break the glass.
I decide to try to open the door anyway which to my surprise it was open.
My uncle notices I just opened the door and looks really angry, Probably by how dumb he is.
"You were saying?" I say to him trying not to laugh.
"Shut up Ben" And it's back to Ben.
We both entered the house and notices the house is in a really bad state. The house is really messy and there is blood on the kitchen.
"Look,I Been in a lot of hardcore parties but this one takes prize" He tries to make a joke but his face tells otherwise.
(Beep) We both hear a sound.
"What's that?" I asked
"The answering machine" Uncle Lenny answered.
He then presses the machine.
"There new messages"
"Message one. Left-at-five-forty-three PM"
"Hey Sandra. This is Diana. We're still in Savannah. Ed had a little 'incident' with some guy near the hotel. So we had to get him back to the ER and have a check out. Anyway he's not feeling well enough to drive back tonight so we're staying a extra day. Thank you so much for looking after Clementine, and I promise we'll be back in time for your spring break!."
"Message two. Left at eleven-nine-teen PM"
"Oh my god, finally! I don't if you tried to reach us all the calls are getting dropped. They're Letting us leave and aren't telling us anything about Atlanta. Please,please just leave the city and take clementine with you back to merretta. I've gotta get back to the hospital. Please let me know that you're safe."
"Message three. Left-at-six-fifty-one AM"
" Clementine? Baby, if you hear this, call the police. That's 9-1-1. We love you... we love you... we love y-"
I'm Don't know what to say or to think. My uncle looks at me.
"What the fuck going on?". My uncle says
"Daddy" We quickly turn around after Hearing someone saying that.
"Hello?" I say but receive no answer in return.
The voice came from the kitchen.
I decide to go check.
As I look through the place, I start to hear some static from one of the drawers.
I open the drawer up and find a walkie-talkie in there.
"Hello" I say
"You need to be quiet" The voice of a girl comes out.
"Are you OK?" I ask.
"I'm Ok, they tried to get me but I hide until my parents come home" she says
"Are you Clementine?" The name that the women in the message said.
"Yes, How did you know?" She asks
"Ummm... Just a guess. I'm Bentley " I say
"How old are you?" I ask
"Eight" A year younger than me.
"And you're all alone?" I asked again
"Yes, I don't know where everyone is, how old are you?" She asks me in return.
"I'm Nine, Gonna be ten in three months" I say
Before I can ask another question, My uncle takes the walkie-talkie off my hand.
"Where the hell are you're parents?" He asks
"They took a trip and left me with Sandra. They went to Savannah I think. Where the boats are." She says.
I pick the walkie-talkie off Uncle Lenny's hand and ask "Where are you?"
"I'm outside at my three house, They can't get in."
"That's smart" I say
"See?, Can you see me?. I can see you two through the window".
I see her waving at us,I waved back. but out of nowhere she screams.
"AGHHH"
As I turn around I see one of the monsters attacking uncle Lenny.
"AHHHHHH, SHIT, GET OFF ME BITCH." My uncle screams as he tries to push the monster away.
The monster manages to push my uncle to the floor.
Unsure if what to do I see Clementine on the glass door holding something as I make my way there.
I open the door and see her holding a Hammer. I take it off her hand and go to my uncle.
"AHHHHHH, FUCKING HIT HER BEN"
As I got close enough I aim the Hammer to the monster's head and hit it with all my streath.
With one hit the monster got off my uncle, Who then took the Hammer off my hand and starts to smash the monster head in.
"STUPID-FUCKING-UGLY-BITCH" He yells while hitting the monster's head a bunch of times.
After he stops I look at Clementine "Did you killed?" She asks
"I think something else did" I say
"I heard a scream two nights ago, maybe one of the monsters got her" She says.
"Two nights ago? Yeah that's probably what happen".
"Are you by yourself, girl?" My uncle asks her.
"Yes, I want my parents to come home now" She says.
"Sorry to inform but They're probably dead" Uncle Lenny says it and I regret it not hitting his head with the Hammer.
Clementine just stays quiet looking to the floor with a very sad expression.
"Look, I don't know what's going on but, You can come with us until we find them" I say to her as she looks up at me.
"The fuck?, I'm not babysitting another kid" Uncle Lenny says and now I really wish I had the Hammer.
"Then go away, I'm tired of babysitting you anyway". I tell him.
"Fuck you, Shitbird. You're dad is gonna kill me if you get hurt and that's why I can't leave, otherwise I would have left you in the car." He tells me, I still don't know why dad let him stay with us.
"Then shut up and let's get out of here." I tell him. Ending the argument.
"What should we do know?" Clementine asks.
