Chapter 8 from episode 5
Last chapter for season 1
*Marsh House Hotel*
As I walk in the hotel, I swiftly kill some walkers on the way not caring that their guts and blood got on me, for I let my anger lead me to Clem.
"Okay which room are you in sweet pea? *Sees a door that was crack open* Well lets see what's behind this door?" I slowly open the door and quietly enter the room with my handgun in hand. After closing it, I see a rope tie between the door and closet. I was going to remove it, thinking Clem was inside, until I heard someone click their gun from behind as slightly turn to see a random guy who I never seen before.
"I got us adjoining rooms." The stranger simply said with a pistol in his hand.
I turn around to face him man to man. "I'm going to kill you." in a tone that I'm not used to using.
"Yet I have a gun pointing right at your head. You look horrible." He said looking at me up and down.
"Your things there." He orders as he directs me towards the table to put my weapons at.
"Well I still got my axe with me maybe I can use it when I get an opening." I place my gun and walkie-talkie on the table to let him think I was willing to cooperate.
"That's all I got." I bluff.
"Is that all?" He questions me.
"Are you search me then?" I ask him knowing he was not going to search me with all this blood on me.
"No I'm not going to touch you. Now sit over there." He orders me again as I sit in the chair right he ask me to sit in as he sits across from me. The plan is to get him to lower his guard and then quickly kill him.
"Do you know who I am?" The stranger asks in a low tone.
"Other then a sick bastard no I don't." I answer back with sarcasm, this stranger wasn't scaring me one bit and has no idea who he's *ucking with.
"Well I'm the sick bastard that you and your group stole from costing me my wife and kids." He answers which would make sense why he would be after me if I actually took his stuff.
"Me and Clem had nothing to do with that. The group did that on their own and the reason why I didn't do because it wasn't ours so I took no part of it." I explain to him and thinking back I really glad I didn't take the stuff.
"Well that's mighty good of you." He said but I don't need some random guy telling me that.
"Better then being a guy who takes away innocent little girl." I shot back working his nerves which I can tell is working.
"If I didn't know any better Lee you're trying to say that I'm a monster just like my wife did." He said.
"I could think of better names for you but lets go with that for now."
"Then what does that make you Lee, I mean you took Clementine to a dangerous place that didn't allow children, you split the group just so you can be with a woman, and to make matters worse you kill someone before all this started!" He yells as he takes out his own walkie-talkie and places it on the table, causing me to be surprise but not for long. It made sense for apparently this stranger kept tabs on us through Clementine. Realizing this makes me more upset of the fact that he would use a little girl like that.
"Let me make this real clear, Clem made had told you what has happen since I found her in her tree house but you don't know a damn thing about me. I took her with me because I would be able to keep an eye on her especially when we went to Crawford no way would I leave her at the house alone. Second I spilt up the group because my friend Kenny wanted to do things his way and had another way of surviving to which we both respected and went our separate ways. Then lastly yea I did kill one person before all this crazy *hit started but you don't have the full story and its none of your business on what happen. So for the record me and you are clearly different people."
"Your right for YOU are the monster, you are no good for Clementine, and I'm going to make sure you never see her again! For you see I know how to be a dad, you know. She wouldn't be exposed to what she has been with you."
"You really think I going to just let you take her from me? After all we been through together? You going to have to kill me before that happens."
"That's exactly what I think. So now I am going to tell what happens next." I cut him off before he can explain his plan.
"No I am going to tell you what's going to happen. Like I said when I first saw you, I'm going to kill you. I was going to just take Clementine back and get her as far away from you as possible but things have change. For you see I'm going to kill you for Kendell and Molly, 2 members of my group who risk their lives to help me save Clem when you stole her from us. I'm also going to kill you Lilly the love of my life who sacrifice herself just so I would be able to make it here and to earn the trust from another member in the group. Lastly, which is plain and simple, for stealing Clementine in the first place and once that's done then I will take care of Clementine from here on out. You call me a monster when I get done with you your going to wish that you never had put your hands on my sweet pea. Understand?" I broke down my plan and giving him a cold look.
"Wow you are not the same Lee that she has told me about. The Lee she told me that doesn't like killing, so what happen to him?" He dare ask me.
"I used to think that way but after what you did, I'm starting to reconsider things. You think you know what best for Clementine but I will do anything and everything it takes to keep her safe something that a sick stalker like you couldn't do for your wife and kid." If it weren't for the rage side of me speaking I would be more shock by everything I just said to the stranger.
He just looks at me like I offended him but quickly change his expression with a smirk saying, "We will see about that."
"Hey Honey, I think this is all going to work out." He starts talking to his book bag. I was going to ask him whom was he talking to but I my attention turn to see the door behind the stranger open with Clementine coming out of it. She looks real pale but I couldn't dwell on that as I signal her to get the empty bottle off the table and she nod knowing what to do. As the stranger continues to talk to whom I assume is the head of his dead wife. Clem walks slowly behind him and hits him in the head with the bottle as hard as she could.
I take out my axe as fast as I could and yell, "Time to die!" I jump at him with the axe but he kicks me off knocking me to the ground. He gets on top of me to try to shoot me in the face but I mange to smack the gun out of hand sending it towards the closet while pushing him off of me. He then tries to go for the gun but I hurry and tackle him as hard I could leading me to grab him by his throat and choking him. With both hands holding his neck, I choke the hell out of him making sure he couldn't breathe at all until he was out. After catching my breath I take his gun and shoot him in the head so he wouldn't come back a walker. "I told you I was going to end you. Molly, Kendell, Lilly that was for you." I said quietly.
"Is it over?" ask the low voice of Clementine.
"Yes it is sweet pea." I answer her feeling good that the stranger would no longer be a problem.
"Good..." Clem all of suddenly falls down and I run down next to her to check on her.
"Clementine is you okay?"
"I'm... sorry Lee..." I thought she was apologizing for trusting the stranger and that she was just sick from being kidnapped but when she roll up her sleeve, the worst fear out of all my fears appear right before my eyes. On her arm was reveal a walker bite and seem to had gotten worse which would explain why Clementine sounded sick this whole time.
"Oh my god Clem how..." I felt speechless, I wish I would had knew about this sooner. If I did I would of try to kill that guy quicker and possibly find a way to stop the process.
"It happen before he got me. While you all was sleep, I contacted him and he told me to wait outside for so he can come get me. As I waited on him I went by some garbage and that's when one of the walkers bit me, I scream and ran and that's when he took me and told me he kill my parents and that he was going to use me to kill you and the others. I figure maybe if I didn't tell him I got bit, I would change and hurt him before he could hurt you." She confesses with tears running down her face.
"Sweet pea you don't deserve that." I softy tell her as I hug her tight trying to comfort her.
"I'm sorry Lee, when he told me about my parents I just was upset at him and my self for believing him. I should had realize that you are like a father to me and I should had listen to you..."
"Shhh its okay, its okay sweet pea. I'm here now and I'm going to get you out of here and we can find a cure and..." She cuts me off placing her soft hand on my face.
"Lee, I made be little but I'm not stupid, I remember what Ben said..."
"Clementine.."
"Lee you know what you have to do." It was like what happen with Kendell and Molly only Molly didn't get bit and now I have to do what Kendell did and that was put a end to Clem or make her turn. I can't decide because I will be killing her either way.
"Sweet pea, what am I going to do without you? I can't lose you like this not now." I confess feeling my eyes water as I continue to hold her.
"You have to shoot me Lee... you have to keep me from turning." I can tell she was close to dying as I wish I could have more time with her.
"Clementine you can't really ask me to that." I start wishing Lilly and Kenny was here and how I about to lose the one person who mostly kept me sane this whole time.
"I can because you are brave Lee... you are the bravest guy I know." She said in a weak tone.
"I failed you though Clem." I place my head on her forehead not wanting to let go of her.
"No you haven't Lee, I can see my parents again and I can tell them about you. Lee no matter what anyone says.. you are a good person who can help make the world a better place and I'm happy that I met you." She said going me a small smile. I couldn't believe how brave she was handling this then I am.
"I'm happy I met you too sweet pea." I said smiling back at her.
"One more thing Lee..." She stop closing her eyes as I knew her time was up.
"Clem.. Clementine?" I ask softy hoping to keep her with me for a little longer.
"*coughs* the last thing I want to tell you is that *cough* I love you and to stay good..." With her last breath she close her eyes for good and that's when my heart broke and I couldn't stop crying losing her after everything that has happen. I have no choice at this point as I kiss her forehead and whisper, "I... Love you too, and I will take care of you for this last time." I get up to pick the gun, aim it at her forehead, turning my head away from and slowly pull the trigger knowing my life will never be the same again without Clementine.

Secret ending
Lee is seen taking out walkers with his axe without a care in the world as he made his way to the countryside. Not a word came out of his mouth but the thought of survival kept echoing in his mind. He stops to see to people walking from a distance. He couldn't tell who they look like so he wasn't sure if they were good or bad people. With that said he takes out his pistol and walks over to the people not knowing what will happen but knowing that he will be ready to defend his self , even if killing was necessary.
