A/N: Sorry for the Really Long Chapter...
Episode 1: A New Day
Lee's POV
I was Stuck in a Stupid Police Car, For Murder. Hey, I'm Not Proud of it but Crazy Shit Happens, And You May Call Me Crazy But What Would you Do if you were in my Situation? I regret what I Did but I Can't take it back and Now I'm looking Down at my Cuffs...
"Well I Reckon You Didn't Do it then" Was All I Heard From the Police Officer After our Staring Contest through the Mirror. I Looked Not Really Wanting to Talk.
"Does it Really Matter?" I Finally Spoke. The Officer looked at me through the Mirror and then Down at the Road.
"Nah. Not Much. Y'Know I've Driven a Bunch Of Fellas down to this Prison. Lord Knows How Many. Usually is 'bout now I get the "I Didn't Do it." Officer Said making Conversation. I stared at him
"Not From Me" I said.
"Cause Guys in your Position Already Said it Enough" Officer explained. I started to look around the Car and eventually the Window ignoring Radio.
After a Few Seconds I looked at Rear View Mirror ,looking at the Officer "I Followed your Case a Little Bit, You Being a Macon Boy and All"
"Yep. Came up to Atlanta to be a City Cop in the Seventies, Always Wanted to Work a Murder Case, Like that Senatorial mess you got yourself mixed up in, with all due Respect" Officer said. A Police Horn Blared loudly on as We Drove past a Police Car that drove by us on the lane. "A Real Shame that is"
"Hell, The Whole Family Used to be regular at your Folk's Drugstore right in Downtown. Still There?" Officer said.
"Sure is" I answered back.
"Good"
"I looked at the Radio."Any of the Seem Important to you?" I asked listening to the Events from the Radio.
"All of it. But that Box never Shuts up. Sit in this Seat and pay too much attention and you'll drive yourself crazy" Officer answered.
"I got a Nephew Up at GUA, You Teach there long?"
"Going on my Sixth Year" I answered.
"You Meet Your Wife in Athens?" My Face Softened, Just thinking about her and What I've Done...
"You Wanna Know How I See it?" Officer Face Hardened getting annoyed.
"Sure" I answered.
"I stared at him to say something about my Personal Life.
"Regardless, You Just Married the Wrong Woman." Officer said
I was about to say something but, Wasn't Worth it...
"You'll Have to stop Worrying about things you can't Control." Officer said.
I looked up at the Plane and Police Cars Driving and Flying By.
I looked back at the Rear View Mirror.
"I'm Driving this Man Once, H-He was the Worst one. He Wouldn't stop going on about how he Didn't do it. He was an Older Fella. Big, Soft Eyes behind a pair of smart folk glasses, and he's just wailing back there, saying it wasn't him. Crying and Snotting all over, Right where your Sitting." Officer said. Ummm, Gross.
"Then Before long he starts kicking the back of the seat, Li-Like a Fussy Baby on an Airplane. And I Tell Him he's gotta stop, that's government property and I'll be forced to Zap him otherwise. So He Stops and having exhausted all his options, he starts crying out for his mama"Mama! It's all a big Mistake! It Wasn't Me!"Officer said.
"So Did he do it?" I asked Curious?
"They Caught the Fucker Red-Handed! Stabbin' His Wife, Cutting her up as the boys came through the door! He sits in my car screaming Bloody Murder that it wasn't him! I think he actually believed it himself. It Goes to show people will up and go mad when they believe their life is over." Officer finished.
"Oh, I got another good one for one's a little less depressing and a bit more Hilarious if i do say so.-" My eyes Widen When I Saw Someone on the road blocking our direction.
"WATCH OUT!" I Shouted for the Officer. Next thing I knew We Slid off the Road and We came tumbling down...
A Few Minutes Later...
Feeling a little Sour, I Slowly Fluttered open my eyes, To See Me Still inside the Car But Stranded in the Woods...
"Ugh...Ow...Shit" I grunted sitting up. I looked down at my Wrists Where the Cuffs Were still on. "...Thirsty..Ahh!" I felt a Sting go through my leg
"Ow! My Leg" I looked around the Car to see a Broken Glass Window and Outside I saw What I Assume was the Police Officer laying out there with Blood Scattered below him...
I shouted at him, Making Sure he was Alive "Hey! Hey Officer!Are You Alright! I'm Still Cuffed back here!" I shouted. I started looking around Knowing he wasn't gonna move, So I turned to the Window infront of me and started using my foot to push the glass out, After Two More Times It Finally Budged and the Window was Glass Free...
I Used my Hands that were Still Cuffed and put them on the Border of the Window and Used all my Strength to climb out, Falling Head First on the Ground, Shit! Slowly Getting Up, I felt my Vision Get Dizzy and Catched my Self on the Police Car and Slowly walked around the Car and Slowly walking over to the Laid out Police Cop, Man I Hope he wasn't dead...
"Officer?" I asked getting closer to him. I looked down and Saw a Key was attached to him, I quickly took it from the back of his pants and started unlocking cuffs but it slipped out of my hands, Shit! I Slowly and Quickly Grabbed the keys near the Officer's Head and Went back to unlocking my Cuffs. I freely felt my hands as the cuffs came off. I then looked Down at the Pale Officer
"Uh. Officer?" I asked again
I Quickly Jumped back and onto the Ground when it came back up and it seemed Monster like this time and Zombie Like.
"Holy Shit!" I shouted Scooting back from the Officer who Seemed Scary Right Now...When I Was Placed against the Police Car, I quickly started looking around panicking...
"Get Away From Me!" I First Looked to my Right and grabbed the Pistol and Went to my Left and Grabbed the Officer's Gun before quickly putting the Pistol inside the Gun
"Shit!" I Cursed myself as the Pistol slipped off, I quickly Glanced at the Crawling Dead Officer before going for the Pistol and Again Putting it inside the Gun hoping it won't slip this time. I Cocked the gun and aimed at the Dead Officer.
"Don't Make me do this!" I Shouted aiming it at the Officer, But it was still coming after Me So I did what I had to do, Shoot Him, Blank in the Face. I waited a While to see if it will get up. I looked down at the Gun, Not Believing what I did, I Shot an Officer, I quickly placed the Gun down.
"...Man" I looked at the Officer "His Skin's all rotten...and He Smells like Shit. What the Hell is this?" I asked myself. I looked up around the Forest, But Stopped When I saw a Figure far ahead of me "HELP! Go get Someone! There's-There's Been a Shooting!" I yelled at the Figure before it walked away. I Quickly got up When I heard Noises Ignoring my Leg's Pain, Shit! I Cursed myself As I slipped over the Officer's Dead Body, I Quickly got up and Glanced at Walkers behind me and walked a little faster away from them. I started Panicking even more as More Walkers or Dead People Were everywhere and coming after me, I quickly Crawled after I tripped again and Crawled up a hill and away from the walkers. I kept Walking and Walking away until I Climbed up a Fence...
A Few Seconds Later...
After I landed on the Ground, I Scooted Far Away From the Fence as I heard Noises of the Walkers hoping they Won't know how to Climb a Fence...
I grunted When I Got Pushed against Something, I Quickly Stood Up Not Making Any Noises as Their Noises Came Down...
I Sighed in Relief before getting up and walking around and looking around
"Hello?" I asked out loud hoping someone can hear me. "Anybody"
I walked over to some stairs and started walking to a Slide Door and Started knocking on it "Hello? Anybody Home? I need a little help" I Eventually slid open the door and Cautiously went inside "Coming in. Don't Shoot, Okay?"
A Few Seconds Later...
I Closed the Slider Behind me and Turned back around.
"Ahh, Shit. Hello? I'm Not an Intruder or...Or One of THEM" I reassured. I then looked around "These People Might Need More Help than I Do" I started looking around Something Useful or Someone Who can help me.
"Ahh!" I Grunted as I slipped on some Blood that was on the Floor, Damn...
I Started looking through the Kitchen to find A Walkie-Talkie (Something I Might Need) and others that are UnUseful, I thanked God as I Found a Cup of Water laying by the Sink and I took a huge Sip. I sighed happily before Continuing on my Hunt and Heading for an Answering Machine...
"Three New Messages: Message One, Left at 5:43 P.M, Tuesday: Hey Alex, or Sandra, This is Diane. Were Still In Savannah. Ed Had a Little Incident with some Crazy Guy near the hotel, So We had to get him back to the ER and have it Checked out. Anyways He's Not Feeling Well Enough to Drive back Tonight, So Were staying an Extra Day. Thanks So Much For Looking after Clementine, And I promise We'll be back in time before Spring Break! Oh! And Alex if your still there, I promise I'll Pay You Big Time, Bye!" Clementine? Alex? Sandra? Who are these People, Not that it's none of my Business. "Message Two: Left at Eleven Nine-Teen pm: Oh my God Finally! I Don't Know if you've tried to Reach Us, All the calls are getting Dropped. They're Not Letting us Leave and aren't telling us anything about Atlanta. Please, Please, P,ease Just leave the City and Take Clementine and Alexander With you, I heard her Parent's Are on this Three Week Trip, and take them back with you to Marietta. I've got to get back to the Hospital. Please let me Know that your Safe." She Seemed really worried. "Message Three: Left at Six Fifty-One am: Clementine, Baby if you can hear this, Call the Police. That's 9-1-1. We love you..We love you. We love y-" Wow...
I glanced at a Portrait and picked it up Showing, A Woman and a Man and a Little Girl In between them. Sad...
"Daddy? Alex?" I heard a Voice from the Walkie Talkie. I Picked up the Talkie.
"Huh?" I walked to the Sliding Door "Hello?"
"You Need to be Quiet" The Voice Ordered.
"Are You Okay?" I asked.
"I'm Tried to get me. But I'm Hiding Until my Parents Come Home" The Voice Answered.
I started to look around Wondering where the Voice was Coming From...
"What's Your Name" I asked looking around.
"I'm Clementine. This is my House." Clementine answered.
"Hi, Clementine. I'm Lee" I answered. "Where are your Parents?"
"They Took a Trip and left me With Alex until Sandra Came. They're in Savannah,I think. Where the Boats are" Clementine Asked.
"Who's Alex?" I asked Curious.
"She's A Really Good Friend of Mine, She was Watching me Until Sandra Came, But those...things Came and...She helped me find a Safe Place Where I'm Hiding, She Should be in here, That was the Place I saw her, Then...I saw her get Attacked...I Want my Daddy and Mom..."Clementine answered. I nodded looking around Seeing Where this Alex was and Clementine too.
"Are You Safe?" I asked
"I'm Outside in my Tree House. They Can't Get in." Clementine answered.
"That's Smart" I complimented looking out the Window at the Tree House.
"See? Can You See me? I can see you through the Window" Clementine said coming out the Tree House and Waving at me. I Smiled and Waved at her too
"AHHH!" I heard Clementine Scream. I turned and Saw a Walker Right behind me. I yelped.
"AHHHHH!" I Heard another Scream But It wasn't Outside or From the Talkie, From Inside? That's Impossible, I looked around her, No one Can be here..
I Grabbed the Walker and Pushed it away from me and Ran for the Door but Slipped on the Blood on the Floor...Again, Shit. But this Time Hitting my Head on the Way Down, Making my Vision become blurry but Knowing the Walker was coming Infront of me, I kicked it in the Face and away from me and Quickly got up but fell again when it took hold of my left Foot and pulled me down.
"No! Don't Hurt Him!" I heard a Voice Call Out.
I sat up and Kicked the Walker in the Face Away and Started Scooting Back away from the Monster, I pushed it away as It Started Climbing on me. Man Was I scared out of my Life. I Slowly started Scooting Back
"Here.." I heard a Voice Behind me. I turned around Saw the Same Girl I was talking to on the Talkie holding a Hammer for me. I grabbed it and Turned back to the Walker and smashed it in the face and Got up and started smashing the thing some more, Until It wasn't able to talk or Moan...
I sighed and stood up putting my Hands on my Knees Catching my Breath "Man..."
"Hi There" I greeted the Little Girl as the Girl Stepped Back
"Did you Kill it?" Clementine asked
"I think Something Else Did. Before Me. I think." I answered.
"I Heard Her Scream Two Nights Ago Maybe one of the Monsters got her." Clementine said
"Two Nights Ago, Yeah That's Probably What Happened" I answered. I jumped When I heard Another Voice Behind me.
"Hey! You! What Are You Doing Here?!" I turned around to face a Girl Who looked Probably in her Mid Teens getting out of her Early Teens With Black Short Hair, Wearing a Grey Hoodie Unzipped Showing She was Wearing a Beige Tank Top Under it, With Blue Jeans and Black Converses, She had the Most Prettiest Green Eyes But One look at her Figure, She Seemed Shaking and She was Crossing her arms and Her Eyes Looked like She was Traumatized, All I know is, She seemed Troubled...
I put my Hands Up in Surrender "It's Just Me, Lee, I Got Attacked and Found this House and I Needed Help" I answered Honestly. The Girl Put her arms Down and Ran over to Clementine Who greeted her with a Warm Hug.
"What Do You Want? Money?" The Girl Asked Me, Eying Me. I shook my head
"No, I Just Needed to get away from the Walkers Out There" Lee answered. The Girl Who Was Tensed up, Rested her shoulders a little giving me a Small Smile.
"I'm Sorry, It's Just A Lot has Been happening and.." I nodded understanding.
"I Know"
"I'm Alex, Alexander By the Way But Call Me Alex or Al For Short" She greeted shaking my hand
"Lee Everett" She nodded. I then looked down at the Little Girl Beside her and Bent Down to Face Her.
"You've Been All Your Self through this?" I asked.
"Yeah. I want my Parents to Come Home Now" Clementine said.
My Face Softened, Thinking about the Messages her Mom Sent "I think that Might Be A little While You Know?" I said
"Oh." Clementine said sadly. I sighed and walked closer to her and Alex
"Look, I don't What Happened. But I'll Look after you Two until then, Especially you Alex, You Seem to Be a Little Off" I said standing up facing Alex who ignored my Gaze.
"Yeah, I guess I've been off Since I Saw My Friends Turn into one of those...Things out there, Especially my Ex-Boyfriend, But That's Another Story" Alex explained. I smiled at her
"So What Should We Do Now?" Clementine Asked Us. We both Faced Her.
"We Need to find Help Before it gets Dark" I decided. I glanced at Alex Who nodded agreeing.
"Yeah, It's Not Safe at Night" Clementine agreed. I then Walked up to the door in front of Alex and Clementine
"Let's Go. Stay Close to me" I ordered.
"Got It, Dad" Alex teased.
A Few Seconds Later...
We were Heading out the Door, I Looked behind me to See Clementine, Looking Back Inside.
"It's Alright Clementine, I'm Here and So Is Lee" Alex Reassured before Closing the door. I slowly Walked due to my Leg Injury, As Alex and Clementine ran down the steps.
"That's My House, Man I Miss My Parent, Tried Calling them but they Wouldn't Pick Up, Man I Hope their Okay, I didn't Even get to Say I Loved them Back...What Kind of a Daughter Am I?" Alex said looking down. I rubbed her back as Clementine took her hand for Comfort
"It's Okay Alex, Your My Sister Now, And To Me, I think your a Great Sister" Clementine Complimented. Alex smiled down at her before giving her a Hug. I smiled at their Relationship.
We started Walking to the Gate, Noticing there Were People Behind them, Trying to Push a Car
"Look! There's People, I'm So Happy, I Haven't Seen People Since, The Zombie or Walker Invasion" Alex said looking at the Two Guys
"I Believe they Call it the Apocalypse" I Corrected her.
"I Ain't Never getting home to Mama at this Rate" One of the Boys said.
"This Sucks" The other Boy Who had Black Hair Said.
"It's Hot Dish Night" The Brunette said before they started Pushing the Car again. We Stopped at the Gate As I turned to Face Clementine
"What's the Matter?" I asked her
"Should I Stay?" Clementine asked still holding Alex's Hand "I don't want to sleep in the Tree House Tonight, But I don't Know If I should Leave. What if My Parents Come Home?" Clementine asked.
"I Won't Leave you Alone" I answered. Clementine Smiled
"Let's Go Somewhere Safe that's Close, Ok?" Clementine said.
"That's a Good Idea" I said getting up and Facing the Gate. Clementine Held tight onto Alex's Hand as We Opened the Gate, Ready to face the Two Boys.
"Hey Man!" I called out as they Turned around Shocked to See Us.
"Holy Shit!"
"Don't Eat Us!" The Brunette Pleaded.
"Were Not Gonna Hurt You" I reassured
"Phew, Thought For a Second There You and the Two Little Ones Were BOTH gonna give us the Munchies" The Black Haired Boy said.
"We Need Help" I asked.
"Are You Trying to get out of here? Because you should be. Those Things are all over the Damn Place. I haven't seen anything as Gnarly as this Neighborhood Since downtown Atlanta, Fifteen Miles Back" The Black Haired boy explained. "I'm Shawn, Shawn Green"
"Lee, These Two Girls Are Clementine and Alexander or Alex or Al for Short" I introduced the Two Girls Who Seemed Inseparable to each other. The Brunette Bent Down to Clementine's Level
"I'm Chet" The Brunette introduced. Alex Smiled and Waved at him as Clementine gave a Shy Smile.
"We Shouldn't be Out in the Open Like this. How about you Help Us Clear the way and We'll Take you and Your Two Daughters out of here, and Down to my Family's Farm. It should be Safer there" Shawn Suggested
"I'm not their Dad. I'm..." I trailed thinking of Something. "Just Some Guy"
"Some Guy?" Shawn Repeated.
"Yeah"
"Their Alone?" Shawn asked in Disbelief Looking down at the Two Girls "Let's Get going Staying too long is a Mistake" I nodded and faced the Girls
"What Do you guys Wanna do?" Alex Shrugged.
"I really wanna go somewhere Safe and Have this Invasion over with..." Alex answered.
"I.." Clementine trailed off looking back at her House.
"Them Monsters Comin! We Gotta Go!"Chet exclaimed Quietly as We Heard Noises of the Walker coming Close to us. Shawn headed for the Car
"Lee Quick! Let's Go!" Shawn pleaded holding the car. I Quickly walked over to the Car and With All Of Our Strength, Pushed the Car Away. I Mentally Thanked Alex and Clementine as they Joined us, Pushing the Car Away. As the Car was Out of the Truck's View, We Quickly Jumped in the Red Truck, Quickly Driving Away from the Madness of the Walkers...
"For 'Just Some Guy' It seems like you Saved a Bunch of Lives Today" Shawn Complimented Me As We Drove Away from the Walkers...
A Few Minutes Later Or Moments Later...
Alexander's POV...
Wow, A Lot of things Happened Today We Met Some Stranger to Getting a Ride From other Two Strangers, I Really Felt Like I Could Trust Lee and Help Lee Take Care Of Clementine if not Maybe Myself. Can't Believe this is Happening to Me, I Just Hope We Make it Out Okay, I Really wanna See my Family and Well, Not My Friends Since their Now, I Don't Wanna Say it...
We Got Out As Shawn Took us to our Destination
"Hey Shawn...I'm a' Run on Home. My Mama' Gonna be in a Snit" Chet Said.
"No Sweat Man, I'll Catch You Tomorrow Night" Shawn said. I sighed and Looked Around, This Place Seemed Secure, I Guess...
"It Was Nice to Meet Ya All" Chet said to Us. I smiled and Waved Goodbye to him as He walked off. I jumped and Looked at the Front Door as It Opened and Out Came a Guy in his Early 40's Probably Mid 50's With a Grey Beard.
"Thank God Your Ok" The Man said Walking to Us.
"I Wouldn't Have Made it Back Without Chet" Shawn said.
"Well I'm Glad You took him with you then" The Man said.
"You Brought a Couple Guests" The Man said looking at Us as We walked up to them Joining their Conversation.
"Your Boy's Life Saver" Lee Complimented
"Glad He Could Be of Help of Somebody" The Man said "So It's Just you and your Two Daughters then"
"Oh Not His Daughters He's...Well...Just Some Guy who them Alone" Shawn said. The Man Crouched to Clementine's Level.
"Girls Do You Know This Man?" He asked us. I Shrugged Shyly
"Not Really But I See him as a Substitute Dad, I guess" I answered Honesty. The Man then turned to Clementine
"Yes" She Answered.
"Okay Then" The Man said "Well Looks like you hurt your leg pretty bad there" I Glanced at Lee's Leg and Winced. Ooh, That's Gotta Hurt...
"Yeah, It's Not Doing So Good" Lee said
"I Can Help you out. Shawn Run on in and Check on your Sister. You, Take a Seat up on the Porch and I'll go see What I have" The Man Ordered. We walked on the Porch as Lee took a Seat on the Bench and Me and Clementine stood by the Railing Watching the Conversation between the Man and Lee...
"Let's Have a Look" The man said kneeling down to Lee's Legs "Yeah this is Swollen to Hell" I quickly covered Clem's Ears When He said the Word Hell.
"It HURTS like Hell" Lee Answered. I Covered Clem's Ear's Again.
"I Bet it Does" The Man said "What Did you say your Name was?"
"It's Lee" Lee Answered.
"Nice To Meet you Lee. I'm Hershel Greene" Hershel Said. Hershel, I Could Really Go For a Hershey Right Now... "Where Were You Headed, Before the Car the Car Accident?"
"I Was getting out of Atlanta" Lee Answered
"The News Says Stay" Hershel said
"Yeah Well that's a Mistake. We Hit a Guy, One of those Things You been Hearing About. On the Road" Lee Answered
"Who Were You With, The Two Girls or Did One of them Ride With Ya and You met the Other Half?" Hershel Asked
"I Was with the Police Officer. He was giving me a Ride" Lee Answered.
"Awful Nice of Him"
"I'm Awful Nice Guy"
"House if Full Up With Mine. We've got another Displaced Family of three sleeping in the Barn. You and your Two Daughters are Welcome to rest there, When We're Done here" Hershel suggested.
"I Didn't Catch Your Names, Darlin's" Hershel said turning to Us.
"Clem-Clementine" Clementine answered. Hershel then faced me.
"You Two, Honey" Hershel asked.
"Alexander or Alex For Short" I Answered.
"Can't Imagine What you two been through, Clementine and Alex" Hershel said. I nodded.
"I'm Looking after them Until Alex's Parents Come Home and to Find Clementine's Parents" Lee said.
"Hey Dad, So I'm thinking first thing Tomorrow, We gotta Reinforce the Fence around the Farm" Shawn said Coming out.
"That Doesn't Seem Necessary" Hershel said shaking his head
"I Don't Know what You Saw on TV, Or Heard on the Radio but there's some Serious..."Shawn Glanced at Me and Clementine before Saying Quietly "SHIT hitting the Fan. I don't think Anyone knows how big it is yet." Shawn Explained.
"Your Son's Right. Your going to want to Fortify this Place" Lee Agreed.
"Stuff like that Doesn't Happen around here, Shawn"Hershel said.
"Dad, I'm Serious. Lee, Come on, Tell him what you saw out there, Man" Shawn begged Lee.
"I Got Chased by a Couple of Dead People" Lee answered.
"Well Do what you think you Should. We Got Plenty of Chores as it is." Hershel said.
"Lee and those Folks in the Barn Can Help out in the Morning, We Gotta Do it, Really" Shawn said.
"I Already Said OK" Hershel said. I Watched as Shawn walked back inside "Well, I'm All Done here, It Should Start to feel Better Tomorrow" Hershel said.
"Thanks"
"If Your Leg Get's Hot or the Swelling Doesn't go down, You'r Probably dealing with a Infection" Hershel Explained
Lee's Eyes Widen in Worry "Well What Do We do Then?"
"We'll Probably Just Have to Shoot You" Hershel said. My eyes Widen.
"We'll Clean it, Re-Dress and You'll be fine" Hershel reassured
"Ok, That'd be Preferable"
"There's Blankets and Such in the Barn. We'll be seeing you Bright and Early" Hershel said "Come Tomorrow, Which way you think you're headed?"
"Towards Macon I Suppose" Lee answered.
I Faintly Smiled at Hershel as He Walked Inside
"Alright Then" Lee Said getting up.
"Where are We Going?" I asked Lee as We Headed inside
"To the Barn OF Course to Get some Sleep" Lee answered. I nodded before Following them to the Barn.
A Few Minutes Later
I Moved around in My Sleeping Bag, trying to fall asleep...
"Isn't this Cozy?" I asked Sarcastically.
"Don't Start Alex, You Should be Thankful Your Not Out on the Street" Lee said. I sighed and Faced Lee and Clementine.
"It Smells like..." Clementine trailed.
"Manure" Lee answered. Me and Clementine gave him a Look.
"Manure? Like When a Horse...Plops?" Clementine asked
"Just Like that" Lee answered. I smiled at Lee as My Eye lids started getting heavier
"I miss my Mom and Dad..." Was All I heard as I fell asleep...
The Next Morning...
"Hey Sweetie, Get Up" I heard a Voice Say. I Slowly Fluttered my Eyes Open to see a Middle Aged Man With a Black Mustache, With a Cap on Hovering over me. I slowly Sat Up, Looking around to See Clementine Awake and Lee still Sleeping.
"Who Are You?" I asked the Man Who went over to Lee's Sleeping Figure
"Your Roommate" The Man Smirked. "Hey, Get Up" I watched as Lee Fluttered his eyes Open and Get up.
"Ugh it Itches" Clementine Complained.
"Well You Slept in a Barn Little Lady. Lucky You Don't have spiders in your Hair" The Man Said. Clementine yelped. "But I bet your Daddy scared 'em all away, huh?" The Man said.
"I'm not her Dad. Name's Lee" Lee introduced.
"I'm Kenny" The Man Introduced. I jumped When a Boy Came by.
"Dad. Were Gonna Build a fence! There's a tractor and Everything" The Boy Exclaimed before running off. The Boy was...Adorable.
"We Better Get Going or We Won't hear the End of it" Kenny Said. Lee then Came up to me taking out his hand.
"Need a Hand?" Lee asked. I smiled up at him before taking his hand and getting Pulled up before we Followed Kenny out.
"That's My Boy Ken Junior. But We Call Him Duck Though." Kenny explained introducing the Boy that Ran by a Few minutes a ago.
"Duck?" Lee asked
"Yeah, Nothing Bothers him. Like Water Off a Duck's Back, y'know" Kenny explained.
"That's a Valuable Trait, Lately" Lee said
"No Kidding But Frankly I think it's because he's dumb as a Bag of Hammers" My Eyes Widen. Wow...
"DAAAD!" Duck Yelled out
"But he makes up for it with enthusiasm" Kenny said. We Stopped at the Porch by A Woman and Duck "The Word is you were on your way to Macon"
"My Family's From there" Lee said
"Well, Macon's on the Way but Personally, I'd Appreciate the company of a Guy who can knock a couple of Heads together if he Has to" Kenny said.
"I'll see what the Girls Would Like" Lee said.
"Ah, Gotta Consult the Missus. I understand" Kenny said. "Honey, Duck this is Lee and this uh, What's the Girls Name?" Kenny asked
"Clementine and Alexander" Lee answered as Clementine hid shyly behind Lee and I Waved Awkwardly at them.
"Clementine and Alexander" Kenny Repeated
"Those are Some Very Pretty Names" The Woman Complimented us.
"Thanks" Clementine said.
"Yeah, And So is your Son's" I said back.
"Thank you Sweetie" The Woman said smiling.
"Well We Should get to Work. We've all seen what those things can do out there so the Faster we get this fence up, the better" Shawn said walking up to us
"I Want to build a fence" Duck exclaimed. I smirked at him.
"Yeah, Well I need a Good Foreman. You Can sit on the tractor and yell at me whenever I take a Water Break" Shawn Suggested.
"On the Tractor? Cool!" Duck exclaimed.
"Duck and I will hop to it" Shawn said.
"I can keep an eye on your two little Girls here on the porch. We can Visit" The Woman Suggested. I Smiled and walked over to a haystack and sat down on it
"So Alex, What happened to you before all this?" The Woman Asked.
"Well, I had a Normal Life, I guess, My Parents Went away on a trip and I was alone in the house until I had to babysit Clem over Here and that's when the Walkers started" I explained
"Well that's sad to hear" The Woman said.
"I'm Sorry But I didn't get your Name?" I asked
"Katja" Katja answered. I nodded.
"Hi Girls" Lee greeted.
"You two actually looked relax." Lee complimented.
"I think Were Doing Just Fine. Alex was just telling me about her Self" Katja said. I smiled at Lee
"Oh uh, Had a Good Childhood?" Lee asked
"Yeah I guess" I said shrugging
"You're in the 10th Right?"
"Close, 11th" I answered looking down
"Alright then, So You're Good?"
"Anyways, It's Almost like we Didn't see people eating each other for the past three days. It's Peaceful here, No?" Katja asked
"How Did you Handle getting through the City?" Lee asked
"Kenny just...drove. We Passed so many people that needed help. And...We just passed people, Over Some. Just...Just..." Katja explained.
"It's Okay. It's Fine. You don't have to say anymore" Lee stopped
"I Want to go home Tomorrow. But Even then I can't take away the things we- the things Duck-Went through" Katja said "Don't you want to go back to the Moment before you knew about all of this?"
"Anybody in their Right Mind Would. Families and BBQ's and Beers with good Friends" Lee answered
"All of those things"
"Those are the thing we live for, Right? With those gone, What's the point?" Lee said
"So uh,What Do you do when..Corpse's aren't walking around?"
"I am Veterinarian back in Fort Lauderdale, Like Hershel here, except more with dogs and cats and not horses" Katja explained "What is it that you do lee?"
"Well I used to teach up at the University Of Georgia" Lee answered
"We need to HOPE that we can go back to our Jobs Soon Lee. Back To Normal. It Can't stay like this"
"No I used to. I was let go a little while back"
"That's too bad. Well I hear people always glamor back to College after a Big Disaster. People Don't wanna die ignorant. I Guess" Katja said
"Back in a bit"
"Okay Lee"
I watched as Lee walked off to Kenny. Hmm...He was a Teacher, Never Knew That. Seems like he's been through a lot, But Hey Almost all of us Are Now...
"Umm, Katja, Be Right Back, I'll just have a look around" I said before getting up and walking around.
"Hey Sweetie, Come Here" I Heard Kenny Call out as I Quickly Walked over to him and his Truck.
"Yeah?"
"So Is Lee Your Father, If Not. How Did he Stumble upon you two Girls?" He asked as he was Working on his Truck. I Shrugged.
"He Just Came Upon When He was Attacked, Everything was Normal Before...I miss my Family and Friends..." I trailed. Kenny sighed.
"I Know Al, But In Life I guess Shit Happens and Right Now, I'm just Focusing on my Family Right, Like You Should with your Sister" I smiled
"Oh Clementine's Not My Sister, We're-Or Were Neighbors, I Babysat Her at the Time of Apocalypse Started" I Explained.
"Well It Seems You and Lee are her Only Hope and Protectors to her, Don't Screw it up" Kenny warned. I nodded. "Well It was Nice Talking to Ya' Hope we Become Friends During our Journey" I smiled and Nodded Some more still thinking about the Words He Said Before, I Was Clementine's Only Hope?...
I Jumped and Yelped When I Heard The Tractor Noise on and Some one Screaming For Help, I Quickly turned to the Source to see Duck and Shawn and...Walkers!? Oh No...
"Alex!" I Heard Clementine yelp running up to me, Grabbing my Hand as We Headed to the Terrifying Scene...
"Somebody Do Something!" I Called out Frantically Hoping Someone Can Help them. I Thanked in my Head as Lee Came Running up and Eventually going to Shawn's Side and Kenny running, Of Course to his Son's Side and Freeing him. I Gave him a Look before Paying attention to Lee and Shawn...
"KENNY! HELP LEE!" Shawn Begged. I Watched as Kenny Looked at them before running off, Deciding his Son Was more Important.
"Let Me Help!" I exclaimed letting go of Clementine's Hand and trying to Push The tractor of off Shawn as Lee Pulled Shawn
"AAHHH!" I screamed jumping back and onto the Ground as the Zombies Fell through the Fence and On Shawn, Devouring. I Quickly ran over Clementine's Side and Covered her Eyes so she couldn't watch the Horror but Tears Were Falling From Mine Watching the Scene Recapturing the Moment my Ex-Boyfriend Who was a Zombie do the same thing to my Enemy...
"AHHHH! AHH!" I put a hand over my Mouth as I saw them Eating him out. Oh God...
I Watched as the Walkers got Shot by Hershel's Gun, Silence was Filled with the Noise of the Sobbing Clementine and Me...
"I'm Okay Pop...I'm Okay" Shawn faintly reassured.
"I can fix you don't Worry" Hershel reassured laying by Shawn's Side "Don't Worry We'll Stich you up"
"It Almost, Almost got me, Man. Lee and Alex tried to save me." Shawn said as Hershel looked up at Us.
"I know, Son"
Tears started falling even more When Shawn started to Close his eyes "I..." I Knew it, He was Dead!
I seriously felt the Tension, While Watching this Sad Scene as Hershel laid his head by Shawn. This was a Seriously a Sad Moment...
I looked past Katja as she Tried to Block us from the Scene but I Already Seen it...
My Eyes Widened at Hershel's Words "Get Out. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!"
"I'm Sorry" Kenny Apologized.
"SORRY? Your Son is Alive. You Don't get to be Sorry." Hershel then Faced Me and Lee Looking Sorrow Full. "You Two Tried to Help Him, But this piece of Shit let him die!" I Looked at Kenny who Looked down in Shame.
"You Can't Blame Kenny." Lee said. We all looked him.
"The Hell I can't. You Watch Your Back. Wait Until it's your one of your Daughters and you need his Help." Hershel's Face then Softened. "Please, Just go. Get out and Never Come Back" I sighed sadly.
"You've got that Ride to Macon if you want it" Kenny said before walking off...
A Few Minutes Later...
I Still Couldn't Stop Thinking about What Happened Earlier...Kenny was so Wrong to do that But I kind of Get Where He's Coming From, Hell I ran through a Hundred of Walkers to Find my Friends...
"Then It's Far Enough" Lee said climbing out of the Truck. I sighed as We Got out, Looking Around...
"Alex? You Okay?" Lee asked me. I Reluctantly nodded as Clementine stood Close to Lee and I's Side.
"Let's Go" Kenny said as We walked down the Street...
I Looked around, Seeing a lot of Dad Bodies around
"Look!" Duck exclaimed pointing at a Body that was Far away from Us, Hiding behind a Car.
We Watched as Kenny Called out "Hey there! You Friendly? Truck's Run out of Gas" Kenny waved.
My Eyes Widen and I Panicked as Walkers Came into View "FUCK!" I Felt Clementine Grab my Hand
"Were Trapped!"
"Wahh!" I turned to see Duck getting Caught by a Walker. "No! No! No!"
"Duck!" I yelled out coming after him but Stopped When a Gunshot hit the Walker's Head, I turned to see The Source and Saw it was a Woman with Brown Length Hair holding a Gun, Like She was Boss...
I Covered Clem's Ears as The Woman started Shooting Some More
"RUN!" We Heard Someone Order Us. We Did what we Were Told and Ran inside the Drug Store...
A Few Seconds Later...
We Ran Inside Fearing for our Lives...
"We Can't Take Risks Like this!" We Heard a Girl Say. I Looked Between the rest of the People that were Inside and Continued to Watch the Conversation.
"And We Can't Just let People Die Either!"
"When I SAY that Door stays Shut no matter what, I FUCKING Mean it!" A Girl with Long Brown Hair and Eyes Ordered. I Crossed my arms at her, Annoyed. "We Don't even Know who these people are. They Could be Dangerous!" Says the Person who wanted to Keep us out there with the Walkers..
"Worse, They Could've Lead them right to us" An Old Man With Gray Hair and a Grumpy Expression Called out.
"Where the Hell is your Humanity?! They Would've Died out there!" The Girl with the Gun Defended.
"We Have Kids with us." Lee Defended.
"I See TWO little Girls..." The Old Man Said. I Rolled my eyes.
"Hey Man, I'm Not a Little Girl, I Just Turned 17!" I Defended.
"...They've Got Kids Lilly" A Guy with the Same Features as Kenny But He Seemed More Younger and Had a Different Hat on.
"Those things Outside Don't Care" The Girl with the Brown Eyes and Long Hair said.
"Maybe you should go Join 'em, You'll have something in Common!" Kenny fired back. I Smirked.
"God Danmit! Lilly, You Have to Control these People!" The Old Man said.
"Carley and Glenn Just Ran out there"
"I Don't Give a Fuck! We're In a War Zone!"
"She's the Leader Here!" Lee Spoked up "But it looks like She's Losing Control of Her People"
"If You Were in my Shoes you'd be th-"
"HOLY SHIT" The Old Grumpy Man exclaimed looking at Duck "Son of a Bitch, one of them is Bitten" My Eyes Widen...
"He Wasn't Bitten" Lee spoke up
"Hell He Wasn't! We Have to End this, Now" The Old Man said Walking over to Duck. I shook my head not Wanting him to Touch Duck
"Over My Dead Body" Kenny Declared standing in Way of The Old Man
"Well Dig one Hole" The Man said Back
"No! I'm Cleaning him up! There's No Bite! He's Fine!" Katja pleaded Cleaning up a Dirty Duck, Heh, See What I Did there?...
"Don't You Fucking People Get it! We've already Seen this Happen. We Let Someone with a Bite Stay an-and We All end up Bitten!" The Man explained
"Shut up"
"We Gotta throw him out or Smash his Head in" I gasped
"KENNY! STOP HIM!"
"Lee, What Do We Do about this Guy?" Kenny asked.
"Dad, It's Just a Boy it-it's-"
"Lilly I'll Handle this"
"But Your Heart Dad You Need to Calm Down" Lilly Reasoned.
"We Reason With him" Lee Spoke up
"With the Bloody End of an Axe Handle, Maybe! But Nobody threatens my boy!" Kenny said glaring at Lilly's Dad
"Everyone CHILL THE FUCK OUT!" The Girl with the Gun Exclaimed
"Nobody is Doing Anything" Lilly said back. Okay, This was getting intense, Was Lilly's Dad really gonna Hurt Duck? What Was Going on? I Just wanna go home!
"Shut up, Lilly!" Lilly's Dad Snapped before turning to the Girl with the Gun "And You, SHUT THE FUCK UP! They Will Find us and they will get in here and none of this Would Fucking Matter. But Right Now Were About to be TRAPPED in here with one of those things"
"What the Hell Are you talking about?" Kenny asked
"He's Bitten. That's How You Turn!" Lilly's Dad said back
"He's Not Bitten! Lee Stop this! It's Upsetting him!" Katja Begged still Cleaning up Duck.
"Ooh I'm Upsetting him, Upsetting is Getting Eaten Alive!-"
"Dad! We Get it, It's a Big Deal"
"Do You-"
"Sit Down!" Lee Spoke up "Or That's it"
"Your Gonna Whoop me?! You and What Homo Parade?" I rolled my eyes
"This One" Kenny Spoke up
"HA, That's Good. Little Boy, Before you EAT Your Mommy you can watch your Dad get his nose broken" Lilly's Dad smirked
"I'm gonna Kill Him Kat, Just Worry about Duck" Kenny ordered
"Guys...Is this a Really good time to Fight, Were Trapped" I Compromised.
"Shut Little Girl!" Lilly's Dad snapped at me. I Huffed and Crossed my arms
"Hey, I'm Not the Bad Guy Here, I'm Just looking out for my daughter!"
"No, Your Just the Guy Arguing for killing a Kid!" Kenny said back
"He's Covered in Muck! She'll Find the Bite. WATCH!" Lilly's Dad Explained
"She Won't"
"And If She Does? The First Thing He'll Do is Sink his teeth into his Moms Face. Then once she's Dead. He'll probably pounce on one of your little girls..."
"He's a little boy, I think we can Handle him" Lee spoke
"A Little Boy? He'll be an Uncontrollable man eater!"
"It's not Gonna Happen!"
"It is and We're tossing him out NOW!"
I Looked Between Kenny and Lilly's Dad, Man things got Real...I Hope Duck Stays...
"No! You Don't Touch that boy. You Don't TOUCH Anybody" Lee fired back "I've got Two Little Girls I'm trying to Protect in here too. You Wanna Get Violent You old Fuck!? Well COME ON! You better have a plan to kill me though because it's me before anyone else in here!" My Eyes Widen and I Smiled at Lee Proudly, Wow Dude...
I turned to Clementine After She Screamed to see her Near a Walker "Lee Do Something!"
"Clementine!" I sighed as Lee Tripped so I Quickly Ran to Clementine, Kicking the Walker Away but it got hold of my Feet
"AAHHH! HELP ME!" I screamed trying to kick the Walker Away.
"Alex!" Clementine screamed out. I then felt The Walker getting pulled off
"Get away from her you son of a bitch!" Lee Exclaimed holding the Walker and fighting him "Man..." Lee Breathed out after the Walker got shot.
"Thank you Lee" I Thanked Gratefully as I hugged him Tight, I felt him hug back too.
Me and Lee turned to See The Girl with the Gun holding up the Gun before Putting it Down. I mouthed to her 'Thank You' Which She Turned with a Nod.
"You Okay?" She asked Us.
"Just Great. Thanks" Lee Spoke
"Uh...Guys" I Froze when We Heard Noises from out Side the Store
"Everybody DOWN! Stay QUIET!"
"They're Gonna get in"
"Shut up"
"Is that the Military?" Lee asked as I Hid Behind him
"I Don't Know"
"Thank God For Whatever it is" The Young Man said.
"We Almost Died Because of this bitch and and her itchy trigger fingers! That was Stupid! That was-" I gasped When I thought he was having a Heart Attack
"Dad!" Lilly exclaimed running over to her Dad. I watched as They Both were on the Floor.
"Was HE the one Bitten?" Lee asked
"No. Don't Be Crazy! It's His heart!" Lilly Explained.
"My Pills..."
"U-um...Nitroglycerin Pills?" Katja asked.
"YES! We're out. We've been trying to get into the Pharmacy since we got here! Please try to get in there! behind the Counter where the Pills Are!" Lilly begged/ Ordered.
"We'll get in there Somehow" Lee said
"Thank you so Much. We Need nitroglycerin pills. Please get in there. I'll Keep an eye on my Dad"
"Everyone Else Should get Comfy and look for anything Useful. We Could be in her for Awhile" Kenny Ordered. I Turned to the Young Man.
"I'm Starting to think this Drug Store isn't a Permanent Solution" The Man Said.
"Your Right, This Ain't Exactly Ft. Knox" Kenny said.
"What do you Suggest?"
"We Need as Much Gas as Possible so we can ALL get out of Downtown Macon Fast." The Man Explained
"Agreed"
"Then I'll Head out and Get Gas. There's a Motel no too far from here , out towards the end of Peach Tree I'll Work my Way towards it and then loop back, siphoning what I can."
"Damn, That'd Be Great"
"Well, It's Gotta get Done. Plus I'm Quick and I know Macon."
"Local?"
"Born and Raised" The Man Smiled.
"If Your Gonna Do that Here's a Walkie Talkie if you get in a Tight spot. Hopefully you won't need it." Lee said handing a Talkie to the Man
"Cool." The Man Smirked
"Alex and Clementine's got the Other one. Check in with them and get back here as soon as you can"
"And you, What's your name?" Kenny asked
"It's Lilly. My Dad's Larry" Lilly Answered.
"Keep a good eye on him. These boys will work on getting your medicine" Kenny reassured
"That's Right"
"And you, You keep an eye on that Front Door. Your Our Look out" Kenny assigned a Guy With Dirty Blonde hair
"It's Doug. You Got it" Doug answered.
"And I'm Carley" The Girl who Saved Lee's Life and was Boss with her Gun said.
"Okay, Carley, You'll Shift in with Doug when he needs it. For Now, Get Some Rest- You're a Good Shot and I'd like to keep it that way" Kenny complimented.
"You Got it Boss"
"Now Get him those Pills"
"What About Me?" I asked Walking up to Kenny, Who sighed and Put a Hand on my Shoulder
"Sorry Al, Lee and the others got this Covered, Why Don't you keep Clementine over there Company?" Kenny Suggested.
"Sure" I said in a low tone before going over to Clementine.
"Hey Alex Lee says we can take shifts holding the Talkie" Clementine said as I sat next to her. I smiled at her.
"Great, Clementine I'm Actually Glad Were in this Situation" I Confessed. C;ementine's Eyes Widened at me.
"Why?"
"Because We Both Are in this Together and Met a Great Guardian in our Possession, And Plus I Know We'll Make it through together, All We have to do is Believe and Have Hope" I Explained. Clementine nodded,
"You Betcha' I'm Wherever You Are, Sis..." Clementine confessed but put her hand over her mouth Once She said 'Sis'. My Eyes Widen Noticing What she Said. She thought I Was a Sister to her?!
"It's Okay Clem, Your a Sister to me Too And Sisters Always Have each other's Back, Promise?" I asked pulling up my Pinky. Clementine Smiled and pulled up her Pinky as We Put out Pinkies Together, Promising.
"It's Not Much But Here You Go, You both Can Share" Lee said giving Us an Energy Bar. I took the Bar.
"Thanks" I said.
"No Problem" Lee then Bent Down to our Level "Hey There"
"Hi"
"Can I get you anything, Else?"
"I'm Okay" Clementine said.
"Yeah Were Okay" Lee Nodded.
"But Maybe I'm a little Hungry" Clementine said.
"Still, Huh?"
"Yeah. It Wasn't Much"
"I Know Clem. I'll See if I Can Find Something Else for you guys" Lee reassured. "So. Uh..." I smirked
"Are You Okay?" I asked
"What? What- Umm Yeah, Yeah. I-I'm Fine. I Just uhh, I'm Good." Lee answered
"That's Good"
"Yeah, I think So. Being Good is Good. Despite the Circumstances"
"Yep"
"Any Word From Glenn?" Lee asked. I shook my head.
"Nothing. Is He Ok?" I asked Worried. Glenn seemed like a Good Guy...
"Yeah I think So. You're Doing a Good Job" Lee reassured. I nodded.
"Yeah..."
"Well, Sit Tight" Lee said before Getting up and Walking off.
"Ok"
"I Hope He is Okay" I said but mostly to myself, Worriedly.
"He'll Be Fine, I Know He Will" Clementine Reassured.
"Alright..."
I then started looking around, Taking a Look the New Survivors. There Was Carley, Lilly, Larry (Who Amused with his annoying ways), Doug and Glenn but He wasn't Here. Then There was our New Friends We Met Earlier, Kenny, Duck and Katja. I've Learned So Much About them and How Kenny Was for them, He Was So Protective of them that I Would Annoy me Sometimes, Duck was Adorable but Seemed to be in a Different World, I Would love to have him around, and Katja was a Vet, She Seemed Nice and Generous and Very Protective of Their Son, I almost felt bad for them When Larry almost Sent Duck out of here...Duck Reminded me so Much Of...Calvin It Scared me, And Saddened me at Most Times, I Really Miss My Family, I Just Wish I can Go back in time and Say Atleast 'I Love You' I Envied Kenny's Family So Much Because he had them Around during this, But Happy as I am With Clementine, I Really wanna feel safe with my Family, I Should've Just, Went With them on the Trip, Stupid Me...
"Umm, Clementine I'll be Back, I'm gonna take a Look around" I said before Getting up and Walking to Some Spot
"Hey!" I heard Someone Behind me. I turned to See Carley Looking at me, I Smiled at her and Walked up to her.
"Hi, I'm Alex For Short But it's Alexander" I introduced. She Smirked.
"Nice Name, My Name's Carley but you Already Knew That, Anyways I've Noticed You... You Seem like a Good Girl, Smart, How Did You Tumble Upon, The Little Girl and Her Dad?" She asked me. I shrugged.
"Well It's A Long Story, I was Babysitting Clementine for Awhile, When the Walkers started Coming and Lee Came to our Rescue" I explained.
"Hmm, Any Secrets going on with Him?" She asked. I gave her a Confused look.
"Umm, Not that I Know Of, In my Perspectives He's a Really Nice Man" I defended.
"Alright, Nice Talking to ya, Alex" Carley Winked before going back to her Radio. I gave her a look before continuing my Walk around the Store, Stumbling upon Larry's Foot
"Sorry, Didn't See Him there" I apologized to Lilly before she turned away and went back to her Father. I sighed and bent down to their Level. "Sorry, For Your Father, Must BE Rough Escaping Man eaters While Constantly Checking up on your Dad's Health. Lilly Sighed Happily
"Thank You Somebody gets What I'm Going through, Look I Know You thought I was Acting like a Self-Centered Bitch Earlier when you came in, But It's Hard, Leading a Group to Fighting off Zombies, Figuring out what the Hell Happened to this World" Lilly confessed. I nodded Slowly, Feeling Sympathy For her. "Hey, I Didn't Get your Name"
"Alexander, or Alex for Short" I answered. Lilly Smiled.
"Well Alex, I Hope you make it along with Us, We Could Really Use You" Lilly Complimented. I raised my eyebrows
"Like When" I muttered under my breath. I don't Get Why they Don't let me Help them, I'm 17 and Strong Enough, Just Because I'm a Girl, Or They Still Saw This Little Girl in my Eyes, But Let me Tell you, I Hope one Day, I'll be Able to Help and Defend and Be Tough Enough to Run through the Wild But Right Now, I'm Just a Supposed Little Girl Following Some Guy through a Apocalypse...
"Hey, You'll Be Helpful One Day, Just Wait..." Lilly Reassured, Confiding in me. I smiled at her, Before turning to her Father, Larry
"Is He Gonna Be Alright?" I asked, Examining the Pale Larry. Lilly Sighed
"Of Course, He's My Dad, He Can get through anything.." I nodded. "And I'm Sorry About him Snapping at You Earlier, He had no Right"
"It's Okay, I'm Over it Actually,...Kinda..." I confessed
"Right, Well I better get back to him, It's Nice Talking to ya" Lilly said. I nodded at her before Getting up and Continuing my Walk.
A Few Moments Later...
"Hey Alex, I'm Gonna Go With Lee inside the Office, Wanna Come?" Clementine asked Tugging on my Jacket
"No Thanks, I'll Just Wait here" I said siting Down. Clementine Shrugged before Entering inside the Office with Lee.
I Sighed and Checked my Jean Pockets, All I Had was An Old Empty Gum Wrapper, A Stinkin' Pennie, My Phone where I tried to call my Parents but Didn't Pick Up, I Really Hope their Okay...The Last thing I took out was the Top Calvin Gave me, I Smiled Down at it before tucking it Deep Back into my Pocket...
A Few Minutes Later...
I jumped when the Talkie Came on, I Picked it up, Listening With Clementine Who eventually left the Office close behind.
"Hey There, This is Glenn and I'm Kinda in a Jam Here" Glenn said through the Talkie "Uh, Little Girl and The Other Girl, If One of you are there, Can You put your Daddy on the Phone? Or on the Talkie, Or Whatever?"
"Lee" I called out, He Quickly Walked Over to Us and I gave him the Talkie.
"This is Lee, What's Up?" Lee asked
"So...I'm Down at that Motor Inn and Well, I-Im Stuck"
"Stuck?"
"Yeah, I Uh Saw a Chance to get some supplies for the Group and a bunch of the Roaming Ones got the jump on me. I'm hiding over here but they Won't Leave"
"What's Up?" Kenny asked
"Glenn's Trapped Down at the Motor Inn. Hey Glenn, Were Gonna talk it over and Send a Group to Come get you, All Right?" Lee explained
"Phew, Awesome. I'll sit tight till then"
"Sounds Good. I'm Gonna Hold onto this until we get Glenna Back, Ok?" I nodded "I'll take good care of it"
"What Do You think?"
"I think Doug's not great around Zombies and you've got your Family here. I'll take Carley and her Dead-eye down to the motor inn, get glenn, and get back here as Fast as I can" Lee explained
"If That's What You Wanna Do..." Kenny said
"Somebody's got to..."
"Yeah I'm In" Carley agreed
"Good. Doesn't sound too bad there right now"
"Let Me Know as Soon as you wanna head out. I could use a Jog" Carley said.
"Let's Play 20 Questions"Clementine Suggested grabbing my hand and Taking Us to Sit"
"Okay..."
A Few Minutes Later...
" I Really Hope their Okay Out there" Clementine said Worriedly. I nodded.
"It's Alright, They'll be Fine and then Next Thing You Know, We'll Be on our Way Home" I reassured.
"Are You Sure Were Going Home, Thinking and Thinking about this situation, I've Realized What If We Never Get to see our Family Again?" Clementine asked. I started at her for a Moment
"Don't Say that, We'll Get out of her, In No Time, It takes Patience" I said Trying Convince her but Mostly Myself...
An Hour Later...
"Everyone Okay?"
"Yeah. We Had some Close Calls but Glenn is Fine,and...well, yeah...were okay" I noticed the Glum Looks On Glenn and Lee's Face. Something Must've Happened
"I've got a few cans of gas your your Pickup in the trunk of my car." Glenn said but in a depressed tone
"Good to hear it" Kenny said
"And Things back here?"
"Quiet. Our 'Friend' is still in and out over there. He Won't Survive anymore Stress"
"The Next Door of Business is Getting those Pills out of the Pharmacy" Lee ordered
"And then We Leave?" I asked Lee. He turned and Smiled at me.
"You Bet" I nodded.
A Few Minutes Later...
I Watched as Lilly and Lee Went inside the Office, I Really Hope We get to leave here soon...
A Few Minutes Later, All I Know is Me and the Rest Were Panicking, Waiting for Kenny to Come with that Truck
"Do it Fast. I Gotta get my Dad outta here" Lilly said to Kenny
"I Don't Plan on Dilly-Dallying"
I Panicked Listening to Kenny's Orders as Lee Reassured Us.
"Stay Away From the Windows" Lee Warned us Before going into Action.
I Watched in Terror and Remorse as Lee, Doug and Carley were Pushing the Door, Preventing the Walkers From Coming in.
"Clementine can you look for something to stick in between the Handles! Something Real Strong, Ok!?" Lee asked Clementine.
"Ok!" I Quickly ran over to the Door and pushed the Right Side as the Door was Almost Breaking Through
"Need Any Help?" I asked pushing the Door.
"Thanks Alex, Just Keep Holding on" Lee said. "Clementine! Did you Find Anything!?"
"Nothing! Oh Wait!" Clementine then headed for an object
"The Window is Screwed!" Doug exclaimed.
"GO!" Lee ordered. Doug Did what he was told "You Too Alex" I shook my head in denial.
"No, I Don't Wanna Leave You, Ever!" I exclaimed back.
"Just Go! I'll Be Fine!" Lee Reassured. I Sighed before hesitantly backing away from the door.
"I Found Something!" Clementine called out Coming to Lee with a Cane, Lee Quickly Grabbed it placing it Between the handles.
"NOOO! DOUG!" I Screamed as I saw Doug Trapped by Walkers
"Lee! Help! Ammo! In My Purse!" Carley Called out also getting trapped by Walkers
"Carley!" I called out, Looking Between Carley and Doug...
"Lee Do Something!"
It Was like Everything Was in Slow Motion...Wondering Who was Gonna Survive...Eventually By Lee, The Answers Were...
Carley! Carley With the Help of Lee, Changed her Ammo and Shot her Walkers Away...
"Ahhh!" I Screamed along with Clementine as Doug was Devoured by Walkers...Doug...
I covered my Mouth, Preventing Myself from Puking
"Oh My God..." I muffled...
"LET"S GO!" Kenny called out. I grabbed Clementine's Hand but it Slipped and I Quickly turned to see Clementine getting held by a Walker.
"Get Away From her!" I said Constantly kicking the Walker's Head but it wouldn't budge. The Walker finally got Crushed as With the Help Of Lee Kicked it down..
I Quickly Grabbed Clementine's hand and started running for the Open Door Held by Larry and Onto the Truck...
Motel Inn...
I was Shaken...I Couldn't Believe Lee Chose Carley, I Mean I like Carley But I Wished We Would have Saved Both, Doug and I Could've been Friends, But I Guess Life isn't fair. So Sad, I Felt So traumatic During that Moment...All I Found Myself was Staring Ito Space as Everyone Around me Were Taking and Dropping off Dead Walkers...
"Hey Al You Okay?" Lee asked me Coming up to me. I turned away from him. "Look I'm Sorry, It was I the Moment, I thought I could've saved both of th-"
"But You Didn't!" I snapped. Lee Widened His eyes at me, Taken Back. I sighed, Calming, I Don't Know Where that come from, I guess I as So Angry...
"Alex.."
"Look Part of Me is Mad at You For What Happened But I Guess I Would do the Same If I was in your Shoes" I Confessed. He gave a Weak Smile...
"Well I'll Leave you to Calm Down, I Know you've been hiding Some Stress and Depression, Ever Since I Found You, I've Seen it in your Eyes, You Know that Your Parents are Dea-"
"Don't You Ever Bring up that Subject Again!" I snapped but more Loudly as the People around us looked at us. I sighed and Sat Down, What is going on with me?
"Look, I'll Leave you to Calm Down and Hopefully You can Forgive me" Lee said before getting up, Giving me One last Look before Walking off.
"Alex You Okay?' Clementine Asked walking up to me. I shook my head. She gave a Warm Hug as Duck Walked up to us, Being his Duck Self. I Smiled at Him, Taking my Mind off of Everything Else that made me Depressed and Paid Attention to Duck While Looking Around the Inn...This Place Didn't Seem to Too bad...And I really Needed to Talk to Someone My Age...
