Hey, guys! Sorry, it took me some time. English is not my original language, so it's harder writing a chapter.

Anyway, I won't take your time!

Let's begin!

Episode 1: Fates that bind

Part 4: Night of contemplations

Clementine noticed Bigby walking towards Snow and said something she couldn't understand. For some reason, the way they would look out for each other was different from the others.

They've been in the motel for almost a month, and there were no traces of possibilities that things would get any better. Since Snow took charge, everything has been… awfully quiet. Snow gave the rules and they just accepted them. They were safe and logical, plus, it seemed like she knew what to do in this kind of situations, more than anyone.

Lee, Kenny and Bigby were in charge to hunt or get supplies to the group. Doug wasn't so good around the walkers, so, he and Carley took care of the children while the others were out. Sometimes, Carley or Lily accompanied them. Katjaa would always stay in case of an emergency.

Lee and Kenny noticed that Bigby preferred to do some things alone. Every time they went hunting he would disappear for a while, then he would appear with a bunch of food, water or medicine. They were starting to get suspicious, but frankly, they didn't know what to think or say. Did he make a deal with others to get provisions? did he kill people to get them? But, if that would be true, there should be corpses around. People around… any signal.

Whatever it was, Lee and Kenny decided that they wouldn't complain. They were okay and Snow knew how to ration the food. They would last in the Motor inn until the military came.

"Hey, sweetie." Snow approached Clementine "Bigby brought some chalk to you. But don't tell him. He doesn't want anyone to think he has a soft spot for you." The girl smiled in return.

"Does he? He never talks to me, though."

"Bigby doesn't like to be around with so much people." She sighed. "He's been living like this since he was a… child." cub wasn't exactly the right word to choose in that moment. "That's why he doesn't talk to you."

"He talks to Lee and Kenny" she pointed out ", but he talks with you more."

"Of course, he does, Clem. We used to work together." Clementine looked at Bigby for a moment, then at Snow. "Besides, he works with Lee and Kenny, he has to talk to them." He doesn't have a choice, thought Snow with a smirk.

"Thanks. I like the colors of these."

"That's good. Now, I'll take my turn to watch, ok?"

"Ok, bye." She waved her hand with a smile.

Lee watched the scene from afar. He trusted Snow enough to be with Clementine sometimes. And the girl liked her a lot, too. She was a good boss to the group. Most of the time, he agreed with her rules. Even, she tried to talk with Lily after her recent loss. The woman wasn't over it yet, and she still despised Carley for what she did. Snow wanted to reason with her, but every time she did, Lily would snap at her and kick her out of the room.

"Hey." Bigby's voice startled him. "Snow said you can rest now."

"Oh. Uh, thanks."

The fable nodded silently and headed towards the stairs.

"Hey, wait…" he followed him. The Big Bad Wolf raised an eyebrow, quite confused. The mundies never talked to him without reason. "Can I ask you something?"

"You already did." He smirked.

Lee returned his crooked smile.

"Alright, then." Maybe he wasn't so bad, after all. At least, he had a sense of humor. "Nothing's the matter, but you never talk to us or anything. Most of us are a little curious about you."

Bigby was a little surprised. Yeah, some of them shared some stories during the meal, but he always kept quiet or didn't answer any question. He sighed and he sat on one of the steps of the stairs.

"There's isn't so much to tell about me."

"Aren't you worried about your family?"

"Are you?" he retorted with another question. "You never talk about your family either." He shrugged.

"I don't because I know they're gone." He replied in a somber tone. "Kenny knows it and Carley does too, but I don't have to tell all the group about it."

"Which means, I don't have to tell you either." He frowned.

Lee let out a sigh. Snow told him that Bigby would act like this at first if he tried to talk to him. But he felt that, if Bigby were in their side as a friend (or as a comrade, at least), things would get better for the group.

"Then why do you always get more supplies than us? It's not that you're doing a bad job… It's just…"

"Strange?" He guessed. "You don't have to worry about me. I won't do anything that could threat the group." Yet, he thought. Bigby noticed that Lee didn't look convinced about his words. He sighed. "If you want to know that bad, I'll be honest with you." After a brief pause, he talked. "You wanted to know about my family, right? Well, I don't have one to return to. My brothers never payed attention to me. They left, and when… when my mother died, I was still so young…" A dark grin appeared in his features. "I learnt the hard way to survive. So, if there's someone with enough experience about endurance during a hard time, that's me. I know how to deal with this." He paused. "… Snow's the only family I've got left."

"… Jesus… I'm so sorry, Bigby."

"It's fine. That was… a long time ago." Centuries ago. "If you wanna know my secret so bad, I'll tell you." Lee raised an eyebrow and sat beside him. "I have more supplies somewhere in the woods. I buried it so I could pick them when they're necessary. So, there's no need to worry about the food or medicine. I've got it covered. Even if there are bandits, they won't be able to find it. They're not smart enough."

The truth was, he got that idea a few weeks ago and Snow approved it... and those damn provisions were so far away... so deep in the woods… the only way he could reach them at time, it would be if he was in his wolf form. That was why he always went out alone.

"That's… brilliant. Yeah, it is. But, is it okay to not to tell to the group?"

"Why? The most important thing is that we don't have to worry about supplies for a while." Even if they run out of it, he could hunt some animals. It wouldn't be hard for the Big Bad Wolf. "My abilities don't matter."

"But they do. Your skills are useful. That really was a smart idea."

"Maybe, but I still don't want the group to find out. No offense, but I don't want any of you interfering in my ways."

"If that's what you want, then I won't tell anyone about this."

Bigby softened the frown of this face. Lee wasn't a bad guy. Frankly, he almost looked like a caring parent to Clementine. He had wise decisions with Snow. He could say that both of them were good at taking charge of things.

"Thanks, then."

"Of course. Now, I'm gonna send Clementine to sleep."

"Go ahead."

Bigby relaxed his shoulders and let out a sigh. He didn't even realize he was holding it. He looked up to see Snow waving her goodbyes to every one of the group. Once they were sure all of them were sleeping, Bigby stood up.

"Snow."

"Is it time?"

"Yeah."

"Then go. Just… be careful."

He nodded and went to his room. He quickly got undressed and turned into a werewolf. Once he got out of the motor inn, he ended turning into a whole wolf. That was something he did during some nights. When Snow took watches in the night, he would go out to kill some walkers and some bandits too. The thieves seemed more dangerous than the things eating people. So, every time he spotted bandits nearby, he disposed of them.

However, when he went further through the woods, he smelled something.

Or someone.

A fable.

He had smelled it before, but he had never met him/her. It was a mix of blood, dirt and mirrors.

He silently followed it, but, in a matter of seconds, it faded. They were traces because of the smell, but the Big Bad Wolf was sure that the fable wasn't there anymore.

But he was sure of something: he didn't like where this was going.

End of episode 1

Well, that's it! You could say, it's the end of CHAPTER 1 of this Xover..

I wanted to bond Lee and Bigby a little, it would be awesome if they are friends, right?

I'm gonna bring some character from TWAU too, don't worry. Maybe in two or three chapters, I'm not sure…

Anyway, I hope you liked it!

Rossana.
