A/N: Hello! It's been quite a while, huh? Well, I guess I owe you all an explanation. Obviously I haven't updated this story since June, and there is a good explanation! I failed school. Sort of. I bombed my math final which unfortunately caused me to fail the class. So I had summer school for all of July, yay! August was just kind of a relax by myself month, and then September school started again, so that was just a busy month. But, I've sorted myself out now, and I am back! So, I'd just like to quickly apologize to anybody who was excited to read the next part and never got it to the aforementioned circumstances, especially the two people who left nice reviews, but i'm back, and my goal is to update this almost everyday, anyway, on to the story!
Btw, I may have messed up a bit and lost the introductions of the Clem & Lee I typed, so basically we're going to skip ahead just a few minutes when Clem, Lee and Ethan are meeting Chet & Shawn.
It had been a whirlwind of a day for Lee. It was just a few hours ago he was being told by a judge that he was sentenced to life for murder, now he was lost in some suburb outside of Atlanta with dead people trying to Eat him. He pondered what the hell was happening to himself but he was snapped out of it by Ethan nudging him with his elbow.
"Heads up. Two guys, just outside the gate." Ethan whispered, his eyes glued to the two young men in front of them.
"Do you know them? They live around here?" Lee responded, narrowing his eyes at the two.
"Nah.. never seen them before, we should probably talk to them. They.. hopefully won't attack us. We don't look like.. The.. walkers or whatever the are."
The trio, Lee, Clem and Ethan walked through the metal gate.
"Hey there." Lee was the first to speak to the pair of men.
"WOAH MAN, WOAH DON'T EAT US!" Responded the bigger of the two men, raising his hands up to his chest in a defensive manner.
"Jesus christ dude, calm down, we're not gonna eat you." Ethan replied actually kind of smirking watching the mans freaked out reply.
"Thank god, sorry man, I'm kinda on edge. Names Chet." He replied, lowering his hands to his sides.
"Ethan. This is Lee, and my little sister Clem. Lee stumbled upon us, we're helping him out while we look for our parents." Ethan responded firmly, then turning to the skinner man next to Chet.
"I'm Shawn, Shawn Greene, I'm Chet's buddy. Hey, uh.. We're kinda stuck out here. Think you could help us out? My dad has a farm, a little ways from here, we can bring you there, help you get sorted. I gotta feeling this isn't ending tomorrow"
The others all seemed to be in agreement.
"Yeah.. we'll help out." Lee nodded.
Lee, Ethan and Clem helped the other two push the car out of the way of their truck.
"Damn. You guys are a godsend!" Shawn told the three with much enthusiasm. "Hey, you all helped out and i'm a man of my word, hop on in if you'd like and we'll head on out to the farm."
The group discussed quickly who would sit where. Clem had to sit in the front with Shawn due to not much room in the truck. Ethan hesitated but realized he could see what was happening through a window in the back so he cautiously agreed.
Lee, Ethan and Chet hopped into the bed of the truck and sat down.
"So.. uh.. Lee, what's your story man? We all got one. How we ended up here, y'know?" Chet asked settling into a corner.
"My story? Uh… before this.. I was a teacher.. Or a professor I guess, up at UGA. Taught History. Uh… I was on my way out of town when all this happened, crashed my car and ended up being rescued by the kid… Ethan I mean, the dead were closing in on my after my crash and he saved my ass." Lee motioned to Ethan to show that he was talking about him.
"Ah, damn man. I was at UGA a few years back, thought you looked familiar, never took History but i'd seen ya around. What about you kid?" Chet replied, then turned to ask the same questioned to Ethan, who still looked a bit on edge.
"Story? I don't think I have much of a story? I am.. Or was a highschool student at the regional school here. My parents were gone on vacation when all this shit happened so it was just me and my sister, I've been looking out for her waiting for our parents.. But I don't think that they're coming home.. You know?" He said, looking down a bit and closing his eyes.
"Shit kid.. I'm sorry man, I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories." Chet frowned and looked away for a bit. "The suns setting. But we ain't far out from the farm now. Just relax guys, it's safe out there. Dead un's wont.. And probably can't roam out that far, you'll be safe"
The three sat in silence before they eventually slowed down. Ethan turned his head and squinted trying to look at a sign a bit in front of him.
GREENE FAMILY FARM.
