A/N: Hey everyone, I'm glad you liked the first chapter. Thank you for the reviews and follows. Also, no I didn't get the idea from Warm Bodies, just seemed like a good idea to continue Lee and Clems story. But anyways back to the story
After Death
Chapter 2
Walking through the herd was easier than when we left The Marsh House. With Lee being around me and me covered in guts, they wouldn't attack. At least that was the plan. We still walked slow so I didn't attract their attention. But it's not like we could have gone any fast anyway, Lee being a walker and all.
"Where are we going?" I whispered to Lee, in the hopes he could tell me a plan. All he did was point inland from the docks behind us. I didn't even know what he meant or what was that direction.
"What? What's that way?" I asked, thinking he could provide a clue to my understanding. He tried to make some gestures to help me understand, but to no avail. He gave up and we kept walking.
But I finally realized what he was talking about. We were heading towards the train, slowly but surely. Unfortunately, the closer we got the thicker the amount of walkers. They had started to bump into us, and It scared me. It looked like it worried Lee as well. He started to scan the area for a different path, away from the train. I started to do the same, in the hopes of getting us out of here quicker. That's when I noticed less of them towards a hill past the train.
"Lee, Look." I whispered, and nodded in that direction. It was up to the left of the train, in the forest. 'It looks like all the walkers are coming in from the tracks and walking into the city' I thought. Lee seemed to think the same thing, and we walked that way. We headed up the hill and into the forest, trying to get out of what used to be Savannah, Georgia.
We had found ourselves walking in rolling hills of yellow grass. We kept on and ended up at a log by a tree and a broken down, rusted car. We sat down on the log to rest and Lee looked down to examine some bullets he saw on the ground. He handed them to me and pointed at my gun. I took them and looked up at him.
"Lee, why do you think your still you but...not you" I asked curiously. He just shrugged, not knowing the answer. He was probably wondering the exact same things I was.
"It's just weird you know. Why you out of every other walker too." None of it seemed to make any sense to either of us. And this was a good time as any to ask these questions. 'It's not really like he could give an answer though' I thought to myself, glad he was still with me, but wishing he could talk. There were just so many questions that had not answers running through my head. I just had to start asking what popped up.
"Can you still use a gun or a hatchet? Like you used to? And you can't run anymore can you? Are you- um..." I paused not knowing how to ask. "Do you feel...hungry at all?" Lee looked over at me with a weird look, but he shook his head yes.
"Okay, I have some beans in my backpack if you want them" He smiled and shook his head yes but something seemed to catch his eye and he looked away.
Lee stood up, moaned slightly and pointed. I looked up and saw two figures walking in the distance. They were walking towards the right until the one in front stopped and pointed. The two figures now started walking towards us. We waited for these two strangers to come closer, and that's when we recognized the two. I smiled.
Its nice to see friends in the apocalypse.
