Welcome to chapter 5 or 6 I don't really know anymore, so in the last chapter, though short, I hope you all enjoyed it, was Lea and Ace finally getting into Clemy's house. Yay, for progress.
So some of my questions have still not been answered. So if you want to impact the story in someway, go to the chapter that is titled Author's note and a peak at Clementine.
So I still don't really know what you guys think about the story, I know people read it, 25 people a day on average I would say. Do you guys like it? I don't know.
Now I refer to the "Walkers" as a lot of things in these first few chapters but not as "Walkers" is because we don't here that term until we meet up with Lily's group. And they don't use the term "Geeks" because Molly coined the term and we haven't met her yet ether, so there you go if you were wondering why, I keep calling the "Walkers" Those things or Monsters is because Lea, Ace, and Clem don't really know what to make of them.
Something I want to do so bad is have someone call them like they are, I want someone to say Zombies, just because the term has never been used in the show or the games, I'm not sure if someone has in the comics though.
So that is all for... What ever the hell you could call this...?
" Ksssssssh- I'm Clementine, so what's your name?" Came the voice from the walkie-talkie.
"My name is Lea, where's your parents?" questioned Lea.
"First they where in Savannah for a business trip, then they went to a place waaaaay up north called Michigan a couple weeks ago, so they left me with Sandra, my sitter."Clementine says putting an almost whining flare on the word way.
"Where are you sweetie?" asked Lea, Clementine's voice reminding her of her little cousins that lived in Alabama. Then she glanced around the living room as if double checking she didn't miss an elementary schooler chillin' on the couch with a walkie-talkie.
" Ksssssssh- I'm in my tree house, I can see you from here," giggled Clementine, as she opened the doggy styled door on the tree house and waved, "See."
Lea waved back, happy that the little girl didn't end up as monster food. Hearing Clementine gasp over the walkie she turned around, only to be knocked to the ground by a woman's rotting corps.
She reached up and grabbed what-ever-the-hell-this-thing-is's forehead and pushed it back, kind of like what you do to elementary schoolers when they're trying to hit you. She pulled her knee up to her chest and with a grunt, planted it on her attackers chest, and pushed.
'Why, why the hell does everyone who's out of fucking 7th grade have to be bigger than me,' Thought Lea venomously.
As that horrible mouth filled with cheese colored teeth, and arse breath loomed closer, she rapped a hand around it's throat along with her hand on it's forehead.
It snapped at her but she kept her foot in place, and her hands on the monster's neck and forehead.
Ace rushed through the door away at the thud, her and the monster made in the fall. Now he just kind of stood next to her trying to figure out how to pry what ever it was off of her with out making too much noise, and without getting bit.
"Come on Ace, I don't have all day," hissed Lea through grit teeth. Not taking her eyes off of the predator looming over her.
He glanced over at her fallen sword, he crept over to it, not wanting to alert the monster to his movements, and have it get up and attack him. Not while they had it immobile and defenseless at least.
He flicked it open gently, so as to not attract attention, from what-ever-the-hell-it-was. He crept quickly and quietly. And stabbed right through the base of the skull, where the brain and spinal cord meet. Turning it, once The-thing-that-has-yet-to-be-named stopped moving, angling it up and pushing up till the tip of the sword poked out from where her, and he uses this term loosely, eye-ball used to be.
"I can't leave you alone for a couple minutes can I. You're like some kind of walking, talking danger magnet, but you're also the person who I'm gonna push off the job of skinning our meals onto if it ever comes to that. So I'll put up with you until you out live your usefulness," said Ace, his face looked serious but there was a knowing gleam in his eye, and it made Lea want to punch him in the face more than anything.
"Shut the hell up Ace, I would have broken it's neck if I had enough arm strength," said Lea, glaring up at her 'savior' as he pulled her up, "Did you find anything, cause I damn sure did."
"I found some water bottles, and canned food in the kitchen. What did you find Short-stop?" Said Ace in a flat tone, sword still clutched in his right hand, and glancing around like another attacker was going to pop out from behind the curtains.
"You won't believe it, but it turns out there's a kid camping out in the tree house out side," said Lea nodding to the small purple wooden construct that looked more like a large, wooden crate on a platform, then a clubhouse, "Her name's Clementine."
" Ksssssssh L-lea? Are you okay?" Came Clementine's panicked voice over the walkie.
Reaching down and snatching the purple communicator from the carpet once more, she held down the button and said, "Yeah I'm fine Clementine. Are you okay? You didn't leave you're clubhouse or anything did you?" Afraid that the young girl had ran off at the sight of her nearly getting bitten.
" Ksssssssh I'm still in my clubhouse and I'm fine. Are you okay Lea? And who's that guy with you?" Clem's confused and concerned voice floated from the walkie.
"Name's Ace kiddo. You're Clementine right?" Ace's voice sounded as obnoxious and cocky as usual, even though he had just shoved a sword into what looked a lot like a person's head.
"Yeah," said the voice of a small girl from the now open sliding glass door.
I'm sorry that this came a week late, but as you guys hopefully understand life get's in the way of life sometimes, if that makes any sense. I don't think it did but moving on.
We have finally got all of our characters (for now. Duck, Sarah, and anyone else comes later), but now the only question is what to do with them, will they hold up in Clem's house for a while and scour what's left of the small town for supplies before making their way out. Do they leave immediately like in the game (they're not going completely unprepared though, I refuse to send my characters off without so much as a change of undies and soap).
Or will they make a shelter somewhere and only after it's stable go out and look for Clem's parents (Like an earth-ship (google it right now if you don't know what that is)).
