Without another thought, Lee swung his leg against Brenda's ankle, causing her to trip and cut her forearm with the axe. She let out an ear piercing howl that no doubt alerted the others outside. Lee attempted his escape, limping away from the crazed woman, trying to stay awake and balanced while running away from this crazy woman.
"Y-you! Get back here, don't do anything stupid!" The mother screeched, getting back up to chase the man with his own axe, a fierce determination in her step. She was clearly faster right now, and it didn't help that Lee was on the verge of falling into a deep sleep.
Fortunately, Kenny, Lilly, Travis and Larry were inside the door in seconds, with Andy and Danny right behind them, rifles to their heads. "What the fuck is this?! Hey, asshole, where the fuck did you put my family?!"
"R-run.." Lee mumbled before being knocked out by the butt of his own weapon, a firm hit in the back of the head.
Lee awoke four hours later in a cold, uncomfortable area. It looked like it may have been a meat locker. He felt numb, but when he checked his body, everything was in order, even the arrow was removed. The wound was patched up by the sleeve of his jacket.
Upon taking a look around, he found Mark and Larry attempting to break down the door, something they must have been at since getting in. Kenny was pacing back and forth, trying to find a way out with Travis and Lilly was trying to get her dad to calm down. No Clementine, Duck or Katjaa in sight though.
"Open the goddamn door! You can't keep us in here!" The old man yelled, bashing his fist against the metal door. Mark took a break from his forcing of the door to examine his friend who had just woken up.
"Lee! Thank god you're awake. Shit's been getting crazy since you got knocked out." Mark gave a deep sigh, looking down at his hand.
"Mark.. You're alive. I thought they might have gotten to you too." Lee shook his head, regaining his senses.
"Barely, those assholes chopped my fingers off as 'appetizers'. They were planning on eating us." Mark showed off his mangled left hand, only his thumb and ring finger surviving.
"Jesus.. Where's Clementine?" Lee asked, presenting the elephant in the room.
"Those psycho cannibals have her, Lee! Along with my fucking family, and we're stuck in a damn meat locker! We gotta get the fuck outta here!" Kenny ranted, taking Mark's place as the two pounded the door.
"Dad, settle down. Banging the door hasn't gotten us anywhere in two hours." Lilly said with a face palm.
"No, Lilly! We have to leave this place. There's no telling what they'll do to us when the time comes." Larry angrily lamented.
"I actually agree with you. But Larry, we have to find a better option." Lee got up, shakily and without balance. Lilly places her hand on his wrist and helped him restore his balance.
"Carley saved this for you, said you looked like crap. She was right." The leader handed him the food which Lee happily gobbled up, feeling at least a little more energetic.
"Thank you." Lee nodded. Larry ignored our main protagonist and proceeded to bang the door.
"Hey, Lee, man, if you need any help, just tell me what to do and I'll do it." Travis submitted, giving a bright smile.
"Okay, I'm glad you're more comfortable around me, Travis, but now is not the time. Find a weak point where we can leave."
"Right." The teen nodded his head and began searching. Meanwhile, Lee tried to regain his breath while helping to look for a spot of escape as well. Suddenly, the sounds of banging stopped and Larry let out a grunt as he fell to the floor. Everyone's eyes averted to him, still on the ground.
"Dad? Dad, c'mon! DAD!" Lilly got to the ground, grasping her father's face before checking his heartbeat.
"Holy shit. Is he still breathing?" Mark asked, kneeling down next to them.
"No, he's not! I think he's had a heart attack." Lilly pounded her palms against his chest, attempting to give him CPR.
"Shit, is he dead?" Kenny asked all too quickly, his eyes falling between Lee and the man's body.
"He's not dead! Lee, kid, help me!" She replied, Mark was helping by listening for his heart beat.
"Fuck.. If he's dead.." Kenny muttered.
"He's not dead!" Lilly yelled back.
"Lee, you remember that poor bastard back at the motel, how fast he turned?" Kenny asked his friend, who was wide eyed and shocked at the sight.
"No! I-it's not the same as Mr. Parker!" Travis stiffened, stepping away from the scene.
"Yes it is, kid! Not only that but Larry's twice his size! It's him or us." Kenny came to the conclusion that Larry had to die, if he turned then it would mean he would turn and kill everyone else in here, meaning his family would be killed or worse.
"Kenny, back at the drugstore when we all thought Duck was bitten, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe we should do the same now." Lee tried to rationalize, not immediately turning to violence.
"That was different, Duck wasn't bitten and he wasn't dying! Now, c'mon! We know this guy ain't gonna make it. Remember, gotta destroy the brain." Kenny looked around to find a salt lick. That would work.
"Lee, c'mon, we need your help! He'll die otherwise!" Mark begged for Lee since Lilly was distracted enough as it was.
"Lee, you can't stay in the middle again, you gotta have my back this time, otherwise you, me, my family and Clementine are going to fucking die! Do you want that!?" Kenny asked fiercely. Lee knew whatever he picked would have its ramifications. What should he pick?
Choices:
A: Save Larry
B: Kill Larry
Relationships:
Clementine is nowhere to be found. Just know that she thinks the world of you.
Kenny needs you right now. He views you as a loyal companion and great friend, but if you don't side with him that may not be the case.
Lilly needs all the help she can get or else her dad is dead. She thinks you're a good friend however.
Larry needs you right now, but he might also be dead weight. He did like you at least a little in his, presumably, last moments.
Katjaa is nowhere to be found, just know that she thinks you're sweet and smart.
Duck thought you were the coolest guy ever. Don't disappoint him.
Mark needs you, being the good guy he is he'll do anything to save anyone. He views you as his best friend.
Carley is your best friend.
Ben doesn't know you very well but does like you.
Travis respects you a lot and will help you do whatever you choose.
Andy St. John is obviously a sick fuck but he seems to not hate you.
Danny St. John doesn't know you very well but he's just about as sick as his brother.
Brenda really doesn't like you, especially after what you pulled. She spared you due to the fact that "dinner was ruined!" And that "None of y'all deserve my cooking anymore!"
