A/N Yes, here's the next chapter. This one was so much easier to do after a ton of changes. This one goes to another part of the story that we don't see in the game. So I decided to make something up.
Chapter VI: New Faces In Old Places
"I'm sorry Hunter." she whispered. Before he could do anything else Lilly shoved him out the RV's door. She started the engine and sped down the road, tears freely flowing as she tried to figure out her next move. She kept driving until she ran out of gas. She had made the decision that the motor inn was her best bet, she figured the walkers probably scared the bandits away for good. But for the time being she was stuck in the middle of nowhere. Without the safety of numbers she decided to stay the night in the RV and walk back to the motor inn first thing in the morning. She was laying on the couch staring at the ceiling. She then began to speak to her father. "What am I supposed to do? I'm out of answers, just please! Tell me what to do!" She wailed before curling into a ball and crying herself to sleep. When she woke up she decided to see if there was anything left in the RV before she abandoned it. "Oh thank God!" She said with a sigh of relief as she picked up her hunting rifle and Lee's axe. "Well dad, wish me luck." She said before stepping out of the RV. She then started down the road to go back to the motor inn, she wasn't sure how long she was walking for as she was lost in thought. Before she knew it she was at a familiar sight. The open gates of the inn. She was able to see all of the damage that had been inflicted about 12 hours ago. She walked past all of the dead walkers and bandits with a shake of her head. She then headed towards her old room until she heard the cocking of a shot gun.
"Drop your weapons and turn around." A voice said. Lilly followed the instructions and dropped her weapons and put her hands on her head. "Now, where's the rest of your group?" The stranger questioned. Lilly slowly turned around to see a girl but more specifically a frightened girl. "I'm by myself, I am not part of a group." Lilly said back. "Listen I'm not stupid, I know you are part of a bigger group. Be honest. I'm I surrounded?" She asked. Lilly rolled her eyes while she looked at the scared girl. "Listen stupid, I'm not part of a group. I can take care of myself. However seeing how scared you clearly are there's now way you've survived all by yourself." Lilly said viciously. The stranger aimed the shot gun at Lilly's chest. "Wann...Wanna bet?" she stammered. Lilly shot out a quick chuckle and in one swift move she snatched the gun from the stranger and was aiming the gun at her. "Yeah I'll take that bet ten times out of ten." Lilly responded. "Now then since you watched my home for me and provided me with a good laugh I'll let you leave with your life." Lilly said flatly. "Please don't cast me into the woods with those monsters...and those walking corpses." the girl said with tears rolling down her cheeks. Lilly immediately knew that she was talking about the bandits. "But you we're about to do the same to me just moments ago." Lilly snapped back. "Only because I thought you we're with those monsters." she cried. "Well you little idiot, I told you I was by myself." Lilly said back with venom in her voice. Before either one of them could say anything else they heard someone shouting something.
"Holy shit, looks like they've come back for round two!" Someone shouted. "Yeah two new girls to have some fun with!" another voice said. "I knew it. I knew you we're lying to me. Now I'm better off dead." the girl said between sobs. "Just shut up and get down and don't get up until I say to." Lilly ordered. The girl did as she was told and hid behind a makeshift wall. Lilly then rose and shouted back at the bandits who were coming out of the woods. "Hey dumb shits, you have one second to put you tails between your legs and walk away. If you don't I'll kill all of you!" she threatened. "Really because it's six against one." one of the bandits laughed. "Too late." Lilly said and she fired the shot gun and killed one of the bandits. As soon as he hit the ground the other five started to fire at Lilly. She went to fire back when she heard a click. "Are you fucking kidding me!?" she cried. She then grabbed her rifle and started to take aim at the bandits. She immediately picked off two more bandits. "Three left just stay down." Lilly told the frightened girl who was covering her face with her hands. Lilly then took a breath and with another well executed maneuver she took down a fourth bandit. She already had the next one in her sights but when she pulled the trigger nothing happened. "No, this isn't happening." Lilly said. Knowing he had the advantage the bandit was about to take his shot when suddenly multiple walkers grabbed him and turned him into a human buffet. Just as Lilly let out a sigh of relief she was pinned to the ground by the final bandit. "I was gonna let you live to be my pet but now that you've killed the remainder of my group I'm gonna take you and the other girl nice and slow before I kill you." he said with a sadistic grin. "Go to hell" Lilly said as she spat in his face. "After you" he said as he started to unbuckle Lilly's belt. He started to laugh when suddenly the other girl grabbed the shotgun and hit him in the head with the butt of it. "What the fuc...AHHH!" He shouted as Lilly thrusted the knife into his gut. As soon as he stopped breathing she put the knife through his skull. After a few seconds the girl started to speak again. "Ok, I'll leave. Just don't kill me." Lilly looked at the girl who had just saved her. "How bout you stick around, help me clean up and build up the walls." she said. "I...Thank you." She was finally able to say. "So do you have a name?" Lilly asked. "Um...Yeah my name is Jamie." Jamie said finally revealing her name. "Well Jamie we have some work to do."
After cleaning the area and building up their defenses, they were sitting by a fire that Lilly had started. They hadn't said anything to each other in a while. "Thanks for saving me today." Jamie just stared at Lilly who had actually thanked her. "Also I'm sorry for the things I said to you when we met." she finished refusing to make eye contact with Jamie. "If I'm honest with you, I was with a larger group. But...We agreed to go our separate ways." Lilly went on. "You said that this was your home, what did you mean by that?" Jamie finally said. "This is where my group stayed for months. Until those bandits with the help of those walkers drove us out." Lilly answered back as she looked around at the motor inn. "But they were right, this place is tapped out. I don't like the fact that I was so wrong." She said with a shake of her head. "You can stay here as long as you need. But come morning I'm gonna head out and hit the road." Before Jamie could say another word Lilly entered her old room.
As she entered her old room she was shocked to see that everything was where she had left it. "Oh finally something goes my way." she said to herself. She sat down on the bed and ran her hands through her hair. "Well jeez where do I go? There's no way they're gonna accept me back into the group after I did what I did. Well Hunter will. He really has some problems." she said with a smile forming as she thought of the man she almost killed for no good reason. "Well here's hoping that tomorrow goes better." she thought to herself. She then slipped under the covers. "Tomorrow is gonna be one hell of a test." she huffed her last thought before she drifted to sleep.
