Had this idea for awhile which I hope you like. Now I haven't watched much TWD since I finished the first season, and this is my first time writing a M rated story. This is something I thought you could like. It basically tells different tales of the characters view on the world and their new lives. Hope you like it.
"Watch your right Lincoln!" Turning his head to see another 'Roamer' coming at him from behind. He sidestepped and swing his machete, cutting the roamer head off. The head fell to the floor still making groaning noises as its body fell motionless on the floor. Lincoln looked to see a girl two years older than him in a red-and-white dirty jersey shirt with a jacket over it, with brunette hair tied into a ponytail just sitting on one of the tables in the abandon school cafeteria watching him killing the roamers.
"Geez, took you long enough." Said the 13-year-old as she sat there looking at Lincoln with his face covered in blood "It took you five minutes to clear the room with these fucking roamers."
"Then why didn't you help me killing them?" Lincoln ask the brunette with annoyance in his voice as he pulled out a knife to stab the head to stop its groaning, he later wiped the blood off from the roamer shirt before putting it back.
"I was helping." She responded.
"You just killed one and sat down, watching me killing these bastards."
"I figure you got the situation under control Stinklon, plus I did give you an heads up with the last one."
Lincoln gave a frustrated growl as he stares at the brunette with a cold glare "I swear Lynn you just love to see me struggled. While you were sitting on your ass chilling, I got to fight off eight roamers!"
"One of these days Lynn! I will literally kick your ass if you keep doing this!"
Lynn gave Lincoln a small snort "I like to see you try little bro." Lynn chuckle as she got off the table, grabbing her baseball bat that has screws in it with her bandage right hand, as she walked by Lincoln side patting his shoulder "Don't worry, if it makes you any better I'll helped out next time." Lynn giving Lincoln a gentle smile as Lincoln sigh pitching the bridge of his nose, he then took out a cloth to wipe the blood on his face "You better."
"Relax, it isn't like I'm going let those dead fuckers hurt my favorite brother." Said Lynn as she and Lincoln walking towards the cafeteria kitchen "I'm your only brother." Lincoln reminds his sister as Lynn laughs "I know."
As they entered into the kitchen, they see how empty it is. The ceiling lights flickers as the wall is covered with dried blood and a bloody handprint. As they steady walked in quietly, they came across a decompose body of a lunch lady in a pool of dried blood, flies swarming, with most of its organs, flesh, and skin gone leaving it nothing got bones showing. The two Louds seeing its condition doesn't surprise them anymore. They hear some rattling and noise, the two looked where the kitchen lights don't shine, two roamers emerge from it that use to be the other lunch ladies. With their skin rotting and eyes completely milky white with no light of life in them.
Lincoln got his machete ready until Lynn put her arm out "Stand back Stinklon, I got this."
She took a few steps forward as she tightly gripped her bat with both hands. She rises it in a batting position, ready to smash some shitty heads.
The first roamer thrust forward to grabbed Lynn by the shoulders. The young teen moved out the way as she spinned around, swing her bat and bashed it from behind. The blow causes some blood flying. The roamer fell to the ground twitching with dark blood leak out from the gashed wound onto the floor, as the second roamer attack. Lynn looked at the next roamer she swings her bat towards the left side of the roamer's face. As it made contact, the blow was hard enough to cause its eyeball flying out, and the body fell lifeless with the wall covered in roamer splatter blood.
Lynn turned to the first one still twitching, she rises her bat upward and swing downward hard enough. A crunch sound was hard as she swings her bat a few times, smashing the head into squash. With skull factors and brain on the ground, along specks of blood on Lynn face. She wipes them off with her sleeve as she turned her attention to Lincoln.
"Come on Lincoln." As she motions her brother as they looked around the kitchen.
"Hey Lynn, can I ask you something." Ask Lincoln.
"Shoot."
"Why are we at the middle school? There's hardly anything here."
"Lori want us to get supplies, so she asks me to come here and take you with me."
"Why does Lori want us to go to an abandon school for? School supplies?"
"Ha, ha, ha, good one. No, she wants us to find food. Hopefully this school has some."
Lynn took a deep breath and sigh in relief "To be honest, I needed this. I need a break from her. That bitch is a pain in the ass." Lincoln is silence, is true that Lori can be a total pain, however she's the reason they're alive. Ever since the outbreak four months ago, she did everything in her power to keep them from danger at every corner. He can't amend it that Lynn is right, but there are times she gets a bit tense when surviving. She's a control-freak that's for sure, a damn good one.
"She just wants to make sure we survive this." Lincoln explained to Lynn "She's a natural born leader, like she always has."
"I know but you get what I'm getting at. She's always too… bossy, not a bad way but more aggressive. And these rules she set up, I'm not going to lie, I always find them… barbaric." Lynn told Lincoln as the young boy nodded his head.
"I know what you mean." Lincoln spoke with concern in his voice "But, those rules Lori put down are the reason we're alive."
"Yeah, but sometimes I wonder if Lori realize these rules are the right thing."
Before Lincoln could speak Lynn opens a freezer door only to find something "Hey, Lincoln! Over here!" Lincoln walked over towards his sister side, as he looked inside the freezer. There he sees some boxes of cafeteria food. Lynn chuckle a little as she patted her brother back "I can't believe I'm saying this… but thank god for cafeteria food!" Said the happy Lynn as she and Lincoln walked in.
They open one of the boxes to find some supply of food with cans of sloppy joes, corn, packages of hot dogs. Lynn smiles at this "We hit the jackpot bro! Everyone will be thrilled, there's enough food here to last us for winter!"
"You sure? Aren't they a bit expired?" Lincoln ask only for Lynn waved her hand "Nah, I'm sure these are fine. Besides, this will please Lori at least." Said Lynn as she closes the box, she puts her bat on her backpack and picks it up with both hands "Go grabbed the other one." Lynn motion Lincoln to grab the second box of food.
The two Louds left the cafeteria with boxes in hand as they scan the hallways. They looked to see if any roamers are lurking around, when they see the cost is clear they stealthy walked down the hall. As they walked getting close to the exit, they heard a metallic bang noise behind them. Looking around they see one of the lockers moving, then it fling open only for a roamer around Lynn's age fell out, moaning in the shadows. Seeing this made Lynn sigh in annoyance as she looked at Lincoln.
"Hold on a sec, I'll take care of this." Said Lynn putting the box down only for Lincoln to sigh "Alright but, make it quick." Said Lincoln wanting to leave this hellhole called school.
"Don't worry, bro. It'll be over a second."
Grabbing hold onto her bat, she walked towards the roamer as it got to its feet. Lynn stopped and position herself in a batting stance. She waits as the roamer spotted her as it slowly walks towards her. Gripping the handle tightly she was about to attack and kill it with one blow. But, as soon the roamer stepped out from the shadows, this made Lynn stop what she's doing, only for her eyes widen in shock. The roamer in front of her is her first crush; Francisco.
His skin is pale with his eyes cloudy, a noticeable bite wound on his forearm was seen. From the look of the wound, Francisco have just turned days ago. Lynn looked at the decease Francisco with her eyes plate wide in both shock and surprise. Her eyes began to tear up "F-Francisco?" Lynn spoke in a whisper as her body begins to tremble.
Lincoln whose watching behind sees the zombified Francisco. His mouth gasp open as he looked at Lynn trembling before watching her dropping the bat on the floor, making a clanking sound from the impact "Lynn… what are doing? Lynn!" Lincoln calling out to her but falls deaf in her ears.
Lynn put her hand on her mouth as she starting to sob "Oh my god… Francisco." The zombified Francisco still walking towards her groaning as Lynn body moving on its own. Overwhelm by emotions Lynn doesn't realize that Francisco is now an empty husk "Francisco… it's it really you?" as she is walking towards her dead boyfriend "LYNN! GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Lincoln shouting at his older sister, but once again she couldn't hear him "LYNN!"
In Lynn's mind all she sees is Francisco alive and well in front of her. "Francisco… you're alright. I-I'm so glad… sniff …glad you're safe." Lynn quietly talked to the zombified Francisco silently crying. But as soon she got to 'him' as it about to bite her.
(BANG!)
A loud gunshot was enough to bring Lynn back to reality to see the roamer head getting shot. "NO! FRANCISCO!" Lynn cried out as Francisco body fell to the floor, she looked behind her to see Lincoln with a barrel gun in hand. However, she looked back to Francisco corpse as she desperately calling it out "Francisco, no don't leave! Please, don't leave me!"
"Lynn, we need go!" Lincoln called out to Lynn as she still desperately shaking Francisco body refusing, he's dead "Lynn! Come on!"
"No! I'm not leaving him!"
"Goddamnit Lynn!" Lincoln ran towards his sister side grabbing her by the arm pulling her "Come on, we don't have time! That gunshot could've attractive roamers to us!"
Just as he said, out the corners of the hall's roamers are gathering. They're starting walking towards the siblings. Lincoln noticing them coming as Lynn still crying out Francisco name. With his might he pulled Lynn away from Francisco body "He's gone Lynn! There's nothing you could do! Come on!"
With that said Lynn finally sees roamers coming as both of them starting to make a run to the exit. Lynn picked up her bat as Lincoln picked up one of the boxes, leaving the second one behind them. As they ran down the hall a teen roamer walked in front as it trying to block, they're path. Lynn rises her bat and swings it, whacking it at the head moving it out from the way. As they went through the entrance doors, Lincoln puts down the box grabbing a chain with a lock. He hurried as he locked the doors with the chain as the roamers got to the doors.
They pound against the doors, trying to open them so they could feast on their flesh. But Lincoln made sure they'll never get out. He sighs in relief as he is catching his breath. He breath in fresh air as he looked at the cloudy sky above. He turned his attention to Lynn beside him as she sits there silently crying. Seeing his sister like that hurts him as he walked towards. Stretch out his hand "Lynn? Are you okay?" He asks.
But out of nowhere he got punch at the face and fell onto the hard ground. He held his face at the right side, winch in pain as he looked up to see Lynn angrily glaring at him with her eyes still moist from crying "Ahh, what the hell was that for?!" Lincoln shouted at his sister without reacting Lynn grabbed Lincoln shirt collar as she got on top of him shaking him angrily.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD! WHY THE FUCK DID YOU KILL HIM?!" Lynn yelling at Lincoln in his face.
"What does it look like?! I just safe your life!"
"By killing Francisco?!"
"That wasn't Francisco!"
"Bullshit! That was him… he was right there! I finally found him after all this time, yet you just went and…"
Without finishing her sentence, Lincoln then punch Lynn in returned made her fell backwards as Lincoln held her by the shoulders "FRANCISCO IS GONE LYNN! HE'S GONE! THAT THING YOU SEE BACK THERE WASN'T HIM! HE'S DEAD!"
Lynn looked at Lincoln at the eyes to see them getting watery like hers. She hears him with his voice cracking as he continues "If I haven't shoot him, you could've died! Do you want to end up like… like Dad?" Hearing that last part made Lynn heart to skip a beat, this was enough to looked at the ground as more tears falling down.
She remembers when the outbreak happened. How their mother got sick, and Lynn Sr staying home to look after her. When they home Dad told them that their Mom just died when he tried to call for an ambulance. Then what came next change their lives forever.
Lynn didn't say anything as Lincoln calmed down a bit. Seeing his own sister in this state after seeing her boyfriend got put down in front of her. He sat down next to her not bothering to look at her "I-I'm sorry Lynn." Lincoln apologizing "I didn't mean to yell at you like that."
"No… it's okay." Said Lynn wiping her eyes "Is my fault, I wasn't thinking straight. The moment I saw him… I didn't know what got over me."
"If you didn't pull the trigger, I could've got my face mauled."
"I was scared to lose you, Lynn. I don't want everyone go through that again when we lost Mom and Dad."
"They won't. I promise I won't ever let that happen again." Lynn looked at Lincoln with small tears of joy while giving Lincoln a gentle smile "Never again."
Lincoln smiled at this "I hope so, you better keep your shit together the next time."
"Don't worry bro." Lynn wiped the remaining tears away "I'll keep it together, just as long I have you there for me."
Lincoln and Lynn sat there in silence as they both looked up in the sky as birds flew by ignoring the roamers behind them "You want to head back?" Ask Lincoln only for Lynn shook her head "Nah, let's sit here and enjoy the view little longer." Said Lynn as she rested on her little brother shoulder
She'll never again let her emotions get the best of her; never again.
