Hey there~
Welcome back to another episode of The Wolf Among Apocalypse. Some of you noticed I changed the tittle. It's just… Idk, It didn't fit like I wanted. Anyway, it doesn't change the story XD Have you played TWD: A New Frontier? GOD FUCKING DAMNIT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE! I don't know what will happen in the future with Clementine's story! What happened to AJ?! If he's dead, I'm going to kill myself. (Kidding)
Well, that's all.
LET'S BEGIN!
ALERT: The events of The Wolf Among Us NEVER happened in this fic.
DISCLAIMER:I do NOT own The Walking Dead Game nor The Wolf Among Us. They belong to Telltale Games Series. And the cover image is NOT mine etiher, it belongs to Bembiann, from deviantart.
Episode 1: Fates that bind
Part 3: Stuck with humans
"YOU-!"
Lee quickly grabbed Lilly to stop her from hurting the reporter. Kenny came to them, interposing between them and Carley with the two fables.
"Hey! What the fuck is wrong with you?! Do you know what just happened?"
"Fuck you! This bitch… This fucking bitch killed…!" She started sobbing uncontrollably. "Ho-How could you?! I'm going to kill you!"
"Please, miss…" Snow tried talking to her. "You don't understand, you have to calm down or we could be in danger-"
"Shut up! Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP! Neither of you liked my dad, now you got what you wanted!"
Bigby growled. These idiots were arguing, shouting all over the damn drugstore with the damn alarm on. His sensitive ears couldn't stand it. Snow noticed his behavior, then she looked down to see Clementine's eyes. The girl seemed so scared…
"Everyone, listen up!" she finally raised her voice. The mundies stared at her, surprised. "Clearly, we have an argument here… But, can we do it later? We have to run! NOW! Those things are banging the whole place to get us. Let's move!"
The humans finally obeyed her orders and started grabbing and packing things from everywhere.
"Duck, c'mon baby, time to go…"
"I'm gonna get the truck pulled up 'round back! Honey, take Duck into the office and barricade the living hell out of the door behind me. Doug, when you hear me honking in the alley, start getting people out of here."
"You got it, boss."
"Bigby, Carley, Snow and Lee, you guys make sure our defenses stay up until then!" The four of them nodded. Snow put an arm on Bigby's shoulder.
"You okay?"
"I'll be fine when we get out of here..." he mumbled.
"And Lee, I better take that axe, in case I run into any of them on the way to my truck."
"Here you go."
"That door's not locked anymore!"
Bigby cursed under his breath and pressed his back against the doors. He was a little surprised when Carley and that guy Doug helped him.
"We didn't talk much, but you look like a good guy, Bigby" Doug commented casually.
Bigby sent him the 'are you fucking serious?' glare.
"Doug, if we don't make it through this, you should know-"
He almost groaned. Why him? Why now? Fucking mundies and their fucking manners and ways of dealing with the apocalypse.
Something powerful banged the doors, opening them abruptly. Bigby stepped back a little, but he pushed them enough to close the doors one more time.
"Doug, we need your help now! Hurry!"
The man looked between Carley and Bigby, who nodded and let him go.
"Aaaaah!"
A walker grabbed Clementine's leg. Lee ran to her and stepped the head of the creature. Snow helped the girl to stand up.
"You okay, sweetie?"
"Yes… thank you" she shot Lee a relieved smile.
"We should go…"
Bigby understood his boss' look, so he let go and grabbed Carley's wrist.
Travelier Motel.
Bigby already didn't like the name. He looked at the mundies to know how they were handling this wrecking situation. Doug was putting the corpses away from everyone, so they could feel more comforted with the place. That woman Lily was a fucking mess; sitting in the stairs and mourning her father's death… That couple, Kenny and Katjaa were talking, probably about their kid, he assumed. Those two were so overprotective…
The boy seemed to be trying to cheer Clementine, who seemed deeply down, while Lee was talking to Carley, but both of them were looking at the kids.
The fable had to admit that these mundies had a lot of guts to face danger like that. He used to think that humans were a bunch of cowards.
Well, each one was different. He knew that.
"Bigby?"
His hazelnut eyes met Snow's blue ones.
"We should leave now. They kept their word, now we keep ours."
"Yeah… You're right…"
"… You got attached to that kid." She blushed and smiled.
"You know how I'm with children."
"I've been noticing that for centuries" he joked.
Snow shook her head in amusement and walked to the group. She squeezed her sword tight and cleared her throat, calling everyone's attention. Bigby stood beside her.
"Umm… I just wanna thank you for helping us when you didn't need to. We were pleased to meet you. We'll be leaving now."
"What?" Katjaa gasped.
"You can't leave!"
"No, don't go!"
Clementine grabbed Lee's hand.
"I don't want them to go…"
Lee softened his gaze, then he walked to the pair with a serious expression.
"Do you really have to go?"
"Well…"
"Let's say we're not the associating type." Bigby interrupted. Lee raised an eyebrow.
"So you don't have any plans?" Snow shook her head. "Then, why don't you stay? You two are pretty helpful. Snow, your sword is handy, and Bigby is incredibly strong…" the fables looked at each other, troubled.
What can they do?
They weren't humans. They weren't as weak as them (physically talking). They could suspect and get into trouble. They needed to leave, to get away from mundies and from… the Adversary.
What if he finds us and his troops hurt them?, Snow thought.
"You don't need us…" she mumbled. "Please, don't do this harder for us."
"Alright, let's do this: as long as you don't have a plan nor you don't know where to go, you could stay with us. Deal?"
Bigby furrowed his eyebrows. At night, he could patrol their territory as a wolf and make sure that no one was following them or endangering the group. He could keep Snow safe for a while, without running away all the time… Lee was right. They needed a plan, a better plan, at least.
"We'll stay… on one condition." He decided to talk. Snow stared at him, shocked. "I want Snow to be in charge."
Lily stood up, glaring him.
"Excuse me?"
Bigby smirked cruelly at the woman.
"You heard me. Snow knows more than you may think when It comes to these situations. She knows how to keep it cool when things go to hell. Take it or leave it."
If they were going to stay with a group full of humans, it would be with his and Snow's rules.
To be continued…
YESS! It's fucking done!
I know most of you wanted me to put Bigby and Lee in charge, but I just couldn't. It would be too… predictable? Or I just didn't feel like writing that… Idk…
Snow knew how to rule a whole damn town of infuriating fables XD I think she can do it, so she and Bigby can help each other without getting caught on something suspicious.
Anyway, I hope you liked it!
See ya!
