((Just wanted to say that this has been a great episode! We got a bunch more followers and this time we had another tie! Luckily it was just broken. Anyways, hope you enjoy!))
Lee couldn't take it anymore. From what the man said he'd do to Clem, to the way he taunted him, to the way he cannibalized others and was all around a horrible individual. Still, he couldn't do it and tossed the pitchfork aside.
"No! That's not how the world works now! You won't make me kill you!" Lee yelled, striking fear into the cannibal like he had never felt before. Clementine was relieved he spared him.
"Hey, Clem, I need you to stay with-"
"Stay with us. We'll protect you." Lilly said from out of nowhere, picking up Danny's rifle. Next to her was Mark, who held a cattle prodder in his good hand.
Lee nodded. "Okay.. Stay safe, Lee." Clem muttered quietly as he headed out the barn door to help Kenny, Katjaa and Duck. Larry had already died and he wasn't planning on having anyone else die, especially not Kenny's family. That's when he heard another scream of denial from Kat.
While sneaking out, a noise in the bushes caught his attention: A walker. Luckily, the generator was still on, but it didn't look like that was what took it out. Instead, it was taken out by none other than Carley and Ben. "Lee? Is that you?" She asked, squinting to make out his face.
"Carley, Ben! You guys are a sight for sore eyes. But you need to get out of here, it's not safe." Lee stressed with a shake of his head.
"Why?" Carley asked.
"Because Larry's dead. They chopped off Mark's fingers and tried to feed them to us, they almost dismembered my leg, too." Lee cringed at the memory.
"I told you they were crazy!" Ben said to the reporter.
"Shit.. Everyone else okay?" Carley asked, shocked.
"Travis, Lilly, Clem and Mark are still in the barn, they're okay. Katjaa and Duck are still in the house with the family though, and I don't know where the fuck Kenny is." He explained, covering just about everyone.
"Well, we'll stay at a safe distance, but if you need help, I'll cover you." Carley assured him with a reveal of her pistol.
"Got it. Thanks, Car." The two nodded at each other before Lee made his slow and careful way toward the large house at the center of the dairy. The sounds of Andy and his momma's voice echoed to the outside.
"Something ain't right. I'm gonna take the boy and head 'round back." Andy stated, loud enough for Lee to hear.
"No please, don't take my boy!" Katjaa cried out.
"Let go, woman!" Andy shouted back before disappearing.
"Settle down, I don't wanna hurt y'all!" Then, only the rain and thunder filled the ears of the one Lee Everett as he approached the door. Suddenly, the silhouette of Brenda appeared on the screen.
"Andy, Danny is that you? What's going on out there?" The ginger mother asked.
"Brenda, let's be reasonable about this, let Katjaa and the boy go." Lee decided that lying would get him nowhere, however this made Brenda absolutely terrified. She backed away from the door. The man opened the house's main entrance and went inside, finding Brenda with a scared Katjaa in her arms. The veterinarian had a gun to her head.
"Stand back! I don't wanna shoot but I'll do what I have to!" Brenda shrieked, the gun shaking violently in her hand.
"Brenda, what happened? Your family was obviously smart, it didn't have to come to this!" Lee reasoned, stepping forward just a bit. With each step the floorboards creaked and sent the woman on edge.
"Don't do anything stupid!" She shouted, planting her finger right against the trigger. Out of the corner of his eye, Lee noticed Kenny with his axe, right behind the staircase.
"Just let us go." Lee pleaded, holding his hands up in surrender. Suddenly, as Brenda stepped back with the blonde working wife in her arms, Kenny smashed the red fire axe against Brenda's skull, allowing her to drop his wife and the gun. Katjaa let out no noise as she crawled away from her husband and was helped up by Lee. She had officially seen it all.
"Baby, are you okay?!" Kenny rushed to his wife and pulled her into a hug that she barely reciprocated.
"I think so.. Where's Duck?" She asked slowly, getting up from the floor. Suddenly, a gunshot was heard. "Oh my god, Kenny, go!" She screeched. Lee and Kenny sprinted to the outside. What they saw, however, was Andy clutching his ear as Duck rushed towards his father. It appeared that he had been shot by none other than Carley. Lee took this opportunity to grab his rifle, however Andy wasn't gonna give up yet.
The two men tried wrestling for it, until Lee managed to hit Andy's lip with the firearm. The cannibal let out a groan before pulling Lee down with him to the floor, rolling down a short hill that led to the picket fence from earlier, causing them to smash through it. Andy got up dizzily before smacking Lee with his knee cap. He crashed to the ground on his back.
Andy dragged Lee across the mud, getting closer to the fence. "You people don't understand, and why? These monsters do it and no one seems to care! Christ, all we wanted was some goddamn gasoline."
"You're.. sick!" Lee spat back, punching Andy's hands to set himself free.
Andy didn't reply as he forced Lee up, trying to shove his face into the electric fence. Lee struggled for a couple of seconds before another gunshot was heard, this time for sure a rifle. It was Lilly who shot the attacker right in the shoulder, causing him to drop to the ground. Lee sat on his chest and began punching him, one blow for his right cheek, then his left. This pattern continued until Lee realized that he had beaten the man to hell. His face was bruised and bloody, crimson liquid spewing from his ear and cheeks. He looked broken, defeated. Lee got up begrudgingly and looked back to see his group staring at him, some distant and some scared, like Clementine.
"A-as soon as Dan and momma get out here.. you're-you're all fucked! Hehe.." Andy chuckled, getting up from the floor. Lee stopped and gripped his fists, looking back over his shoulder.
"They aren't coming." He said, actually kinda sorry for the man. The look on Andy's face was one of shock and sadness.
"What did you do? What the fuck did you do?!" Lee didn't know how to feel. Sick? Pity? He didn't wanna do this anymore so he began walking toward the group. He noticed Katjaa was just joining the group with a whole bag full of stuff.
"Don't you dare walk away from me, Lee!" Andy yelled, pointing his finger at the victor before collapsing to the ground, tears disguised themselves as raindrops over his face. "Get back and here and finish this, Lee!"
Lee stopped in his tracks. Should he just kill this pathetic, sick mess or spare his life, keeping him from becoming a murderer. Or at least, a murderer in this world.
