BTW, I'll be calling James, Skelly when he has the mask on and, James when he doesn't. I'll do James/Skelly when he's either putting it on or taking it off
Also I was going to put a lemon in here, but I decided not to due to obvious reasons
Now the story shall commence
Previously:
Clem's group had to walk over the ice while the army group was cut off and had to walk around
"We got walkers on our ass" Kenny says
"You guys go on ahead" Skelly says with his voice deepened due to the mask, "We'll catch up"
"Are you sure?" Jane asks, with her reason different than the others
"Yeah, that's a promise" Skelly replies as the group runs off
Clem's group then continued onwards, Arvo then tried to make a run for it after 2 walkers fell through the ice. This attempt fell short as he almost fell through the ice, Kenny tossed him up as he and Mike now made it to the other side. All that was left was Jane, Bonnie, Clem, and Luke. Jane then started ahead, but Clem and Bonnie looked behind then and saw Luke standing over a large crack over the ice. Clem and Bonnie then started towards him
"No don't" Luke says, "The ice's to thin"
Luke and Bonnie then tried to convince Clem to either cover Luke or go get him. Clem decided to go out and get Luke. She almost reached him, but the ice then cracked and both Luke and Clem fell through.
Underneath the ice Clem tried to bang against the ice, but it wasn't working. Clem was then grabbed by a walker, but successfully kicked it off. She then tried swimming for the hole but was suddenly blocked by another walker that was being strangled by Luke. He then pushed it out of the way, only to be grabbed by the foot. Knowing that she had to react quickly, Clem quickly pulled Luke's machete out and stabbed it through the walkers eye, making it immediately let go of Luke. Luke then shoved the blade farther into it's eye before pulling it out and sheathing it. He then grabs Clem and pushes her up, who is pulled out of the water by Jane
Luke quickly follows and starts to run back to the house with Bonnie and Jane, carrying Clem. Once they made it to the other side, all of the group went inside and got a fire going. Kenny, however, thought that he should get a few punches into Arvo first. After everything had settled a bit, Clem started to fall asleep
When Clem woke up Jane was there
"Your up" She says
"Yeah" Clem says
Over by the stair Mike is talking to Arvo. Kenny then asks if Clem can help him get a car working, which she replies to by saying that she'll be there in a second. She then walked outside and saw Luke and Bonnie sitting at the stair talking
After trying to help Kenny fix the car he sent her back inside. Clem took the opportunity to sit next to Luke and Bonnie and talk to them. Apparently Luke and Bonnie were planning on trying a relationship. After talking, Clem went back inside to see Jane sitting by a window
"Hey" Clem says
"Hey" Jane responds, "Mike and the Russian were talking a lot, so I moved in here"
Jane and Clem suddenly saw some rustling by the car where Kenny was, and apparently Kenny noticed too
"Hey. is anyone out there?" Kenny yells
He then fires a warning shot, and is responded to by a metal ding
"ARGH SHIT" someone yells
"Hold your fire!" someone else says
The army group walks out from the trees and shrubs with Skelly holding his mask
"Jeez, lucky Skelly's got a mask" Danny says humorously
"Oh shit, sorry about that" Kenny says
Skelly just waves him away and heads inside the building, giving Luke and Bonnie a wave as he goes in. The rest of the army group talks to Kenny about what he's doing. They then started to help him get the truck fixed up
"Hey gals" Skelly says as he walks past Clem and Jane
Skelly then heads upstairs, looking for a place to take the mask off without prying eyes
"Hey Clem, mind watching him? I gotta take care of something" Jane says as she gets up
"No problem" Clem says as she moves closer to AJ jr., "Don't make too much noise"
Jane gives her a strange look, but then goes back to walking upstairs. Once she gets upstairs she looks to her left and sees an open door to a room. Inside the room is a makeshift bed, bench, and a Skelly/James taking his mask off
"Ah, note to self, always say something before approaching Kenny" He says to himself
"Hey" Jane says in the door way
"Hey, come on in" James says, "Just getting this thing off. You'd think that the mask would help, but it doesn't, heh. Luckily the bullet didn't go through"
Looking at the mask, it only had a dent at the top left side
"So, want to talk about something?" James asks
"Oh, um, not really, just seeing how you were doing" Jane says
"Come on Jane, I know you better than that" James says sitting on a bed that was there
"You know, I never got the chance to ask you if I could be with you, if you know what I mean" James says, "Is it too late?"
"Well, sorry James, it's just..." Jane starts to say
James then gets up from the bed and walks over to her. She then puts his hand on her shoulder
"If you still don't want to, it's fine" James says with a smile
He then picks up his mask and walks over to the dresser and places it on top before pulling out a small hammer from his pack
"The sound might get annoying, so I'd suggest you leave to save your hearing" James says jokingly
Jane then leaves and heads back downstairs. Once she got to the bottom of the stairs she could hear the sound of a hammer banging on metal. Soon afterwards she heard the sound of a car running. Going outside she sees the group gathered around.
Soon they were all arguing about whether to go or not. The army group just went inside, leaving Clem's group to deal with it themselves. It finally ended with Jane leaving first, Kenny getting into the car, Bonnie leaving, and Mike leaving to let Clem deal with the problem
After a bit of convincing, Clem finally got Kenny to go back inside. Since they had a fire going, they decided to do what they did at the power plant. First it started with the army guys, with Skelly's mask repaired, and then Clem joined them. After that, everyone started joining in, including Kenny. All previous sense of hostility had vanished. It turned even more interesting when Junior left to take a piss, and came back with a working guitar
"If I recall, you know how to play this, right Skelly?" Junior says as he hands it to Skelly
"Heh, yeah, and it looks like this is in good condition" Skelly says as he plucks a few string and tunes it a bit
"Any chance I can get a drummer?" Skelly asks
"You got it" Nathan says as he pulls out a small frame and two pieces of cloth, "It's robust, but it works"
"OK then, I've got a little something that could lighten the mood" James says, "But I'm warning you, it does seem a bit slow at the beginning"
Everyone then begins to settle down as they waited for James to start
(A.N. OK, so it has very few lyrics, but listen to the song. Well, you can if you want. It's called, "Red like Roses Part 1", this story and the music might not be the same. No copywriting here. I don't own it and never will)
*Guitar starts with drums in the background*
*Vocals*
Red like roses fills my
dreams and brings me
to the place you rest
White is cold and
always yearning,
burdened by a royal
test
Black the beast
descends from
shadows
Yellow beauty burns
Gold
James then continues to play the rest of the song with Nathan using his custom drum. Once they finish the rest of the group applaud them. Even Arvo seemed to have enjoyed the music
"Well, that certainly was relaxing" Luke says
"Yeah, I haven't played like that in a long time" Skelly says
"Man, I wish things were like they use to be" Danny says, "I would have to go home to a wife and kids and do some bills"
"Seriously? You had kids?" Mike jokes, "I don't see you as the type who would settle down with someone"
"Heh, well, at least I can say that I did it" Danny says with a smirk on his face
"Come on now, not in front of the kid" Bonnie says
"Actually, I'd better get some rest" Clem says as she gets up and walks over to where she sleeps
"Well, now that she's gone, I can start bragging again" Danny says
"Yeah yeah, well Kenny's done it too" Mike says
"Whoa now, don't get me involved" Kenny says humorously
"Hey, how about you Luke?" Junior asks
"Me?" Luke asks, "Well, I'm afraid I can't divulge that information"
Luke then avoids eye contact while Jane just puts her head in her hand and shakes her head. Skelly noticed this, and thoughts started going through his head
"Look at him smile, come on man, no one smiles like that unless they did it" Nathan says
"Yeah, come on Luke" Mike says, "Why don't you divulge the information"
This makes both groups laugh a bit
"Why don't we girls retire for the night and let the men continue their conversation" Bonnie says
"Good idea" Jane says as she gets up with Bonnie and goes to where they sleep
"Now that the ladies are gone, we can talk like real men" Junior says
"Yeah, now come on Luke, tell us who" Danny says
"Well, I already know who, but it's not my place to tell" Mike says
"Yeah, good luck Luke" Kenny says
"Oh come on guys..." Luke says
"I'd actually like to know as well" Skelly says
All eyes turned to him
"What, I'm just curious" Skelly says
"Well, alright" Luke says, "But you cannot tell anyone, alright?"
All of them nodded
"It was Jane" Luke says
"Wow, her?" Junior says
"Yeah" Luke says, "She offered herself, and I couldn't be un-gentleman like and refuse her now could I?"
This caused them to laugh again, except for Skelly, who had gone deathly quiet
"How about you Skelly?" Mike asks, "You got a special girl?"
"Yeah, but we never made it to home base" Skelly says, "And I don't think we ever will"
"Don't worry man, you'll get their some time" Danny says
"Yeah, well, I'm beat so I'm gonna take a nap" Skelly says as he gets up and heads upstairs
Kenny gave Skelly a strange look while he walked up the stairs
"What's with him?" Kenny asks
"I don't know, but he said he's going to take a nap, so we'd better not disturb him" Nathan says
"What do you mean?" Luke asks
"Well, he only takes a nap when he's depressed about something, or is pissed" Nathan says
"You can tell what the depressed part is about, but the anger could be anything" Junior says
"Huh, wonder what it is" Mike says
Upstairs James has taken his mask off. He tossed it onto the bench and jumped onto the bed. He then pulls out a couple of pieces of paper and a cigarette. He then lights the cig and starts to continue lyrics. After writing he puts the paper away and stares at the open roof. He then tosses the cig outside and falls asleep under the light of the moon
A.N. OK, so James found out...poor guy. Now I'm going to have the truck leaving take place, but differently. That's it for now
Stay awesome guys and gals of the world, and I'll see you next chapter
