What if Katjaa got bit instead of Duck? Prompt Submitted by Spectacular Webhead 11 on FF .net
Everything was going wrong. It'd been just over three months since the apocalypse started. They'd lost people, a guy, Doug, in the first few days. Another guy, Mark, and an old man, Larry, just a week ago, after they'd been lured in by some cannibals because they'd been starving.
They'd done something horrible, after eating Mark's legs. They stole. Katjaa knew that some would disagree, she knew Kenny and Lee had killed people. Lee told her that he killed a guy back before the apocalypse started, he killed a woman who stalked their group, he helped Kenny kill Larry and then, while they were escaping, he killed two of the cannibals. He pitchforked one and kicked the other into an electric fence.
Now, she was taking cover with her son, Duck, while Lee, Lilly and Carley fought off the bandits attacking them. She'd heard them yelling about them not getting the supplies they were owed; she didn't understand it. Then she heard the familiar groan of the Walkers, without thinking, she wrapped herself around Duck, as Lee turned his gun on the Walkers and Carley was shot in the leg.
The woman let out a scream as she fell to the ground, distracting Lee, and giving the Walker ample opportunity to latch itself onto Katjaa. She felt its teeth sink into her side, when its head exploded. Looking up, she saw Carley being supported by Lee, before a bullet tore through her arm. Lee ushered them into the RV Kenny had been working on, Lee boarding and setting Carley down on a sofa. Moments later, Lilly hopped on, and the RV peeled out of the Motel, leaving what little belongings and supplied they had behind.
N
Katjaa's head rested against the window, they'd been driving for a few hours, she heard Lilly throwing accusations around, Ben, then Carley, then Lee and Carley and then Ben and Carley. Eventually, Carley ended up snapping, using some colourful language.
"Carley might be snappy because she's been shot." Said Lee, making Lilly stop, "Who did what's no longer important, some of the supplied have got to be in the RV."
There was a tense silence, before Lilly awkwardly coughed.
"You did listen to me when I said we should put the supplies in an easily observed place," Asked Lee, looking around, "right?"
There were a few mumbled excuses, especially from Lilly. Lee just gave a heavy sigh and dropped down next to Ben, "Fucking typical."
Then Kenny hit a Walker, Carley let out a curse when her arm and leg were jostled and Ben and Lee suddenly got a lot closer. After a moment, Lilly got out of the RV and Lee followed her. Soon, Lee, Lilly and Kenny were standing by the front end of the RV.
"It's got to be someone." Said Lilly, shortly, "Whoever it is, they're a danger to the group."
"Maybe they were just scared or easily manipulated." Suggested Lee, as Kenny pulled on the Walker.
"Maybe they were planted by the bandits." Spat Lilly, getting a flat look from Lee.
"That's singling out Ben." Stated Lee, before looking around, "Carley's arm and leg—"
"Yeah, we get it Lee," Dismissed Lilly, "your girlfriend's been shot."
Lee gave Lilly a flat look, just as the Walker split in half and Kenny stumbled back. A moment later, Kenny was stomping his foot on the Walker's head as Lee and Lilly watched for Walkers. Glancing at Katjaa, Lee frowned, "I guess it's all caught up to Katjaa, huh?"
Kenny glanced up, "Yeah, she's just tired, she'll be fine."
Nodding, as Kenny roughly wiped the Walkers brains off his show, Lee and Lilly got back on the RV. Lee frowned as Clementine help onto a couple of tampons, "What'cha got there, Clem?"
"You said Carley was hurt," Said Clementine, before holding the tampons out to Lee, "I found these is a draw."
"Tampons aren't going to help, Clem." Said Lilly, sitting down.
"Actually," Lee looked at her, "they were originally during during World War 1 to plug up bullet holes."
Lee thought he heard Kenny mutter something up front, but walked up to Carley, "Hey."
"I heard what you said." Muttered Carley, "It's really gonna suck, isn't it?"
Lee winced and nodded, getting a sigh from Carley, as the woman adjusted herself.
"Not how I thought I'd be takin my clothes off in front of you." Said Carley, before freezing.
Clementine looked at them, frowning as she saw Lilly bite the inside of her cheek and looked like she wanted to start laughing.
"I'll…" Lee trailed off.
"Just plug the holes." Muttered Carley, making Lilly let out a snort, "You know what I meant!"
N
Lee frowned; they'd found the road had been blocked by a train. He, Lilly, Ben and Kenny had scouted it out, while Carley watched the kids and Katjaa slept in the RV. They'd met an old homeless man, who gave his name as Chuck, he had some food and Lee found some crackers in a car with a Walker in it. He'd dispatched of the Walker that'd been trapped in the car and gave the snacks to the kids. Kenny and Ben found that the train still worked, and Lee managed to salvage the directions on how to start the train. Then Kenny sent Ben to wake Katjaa, which was where they were now. Lee had uncoupled the train car from the rest of the cars and had gotten Carley, Clementine and Duck into the car, with Chuck and Lilly helping them get on, when Ben scurried up to them.
"Ben, where's Katjaa?" Demanded Lilly, as Carley rolled her eyes.
"There's a problem." Said Ben, nervously looking around.
"There's gonna be." Muttered Lilly, as Kenny joined them.
"Where's Kat?" Demanded Kenny, scowling at Ben, "You had one fucking job."
Lee frowned, "Ben, what's wrong?"
Ben looked around, nervously fidgeting. Lee rolled his eyes and stalked over to the RV, "I'll get her, see you in a minute."
Boarding the RV, Lee checked all the compartments, frowning when he found a rifle, two shotguns and three handguns. Sighing, Lee waved at Lilly and Kenny, the pair joining him a moment later, "At least we've got some things here."
Lilly nodded, taking some of the guns, while Lee continued to check the cupboards and draws. They didn't find much, a roll of bandages, a needle and some thread, a bottle of disinfectant, a cigarette lighter, a couple of protein bars and an iron. Sighing, Lee stuffed what he could into his pockets, before looking at Lilly, "Anything?"
"Some long-life food, ammo, a bag and a knife." Said Lilly, holding the bag up. Lee nodded and unloaded what he found into the bag, as Kenny gently woke Katjaa.
"C'mon, Kat." Muttered Kenny, "We've got a train, we're goin' to Savannah."
Katjaa let out a groan, making Kenny frown, "I'm gonna have her up in the cab with me, don't want to scare her with Chuck."
Lee waved a hand at him, as he and Lilly hopped off the RV. Sighing, Kenny looked at Katjaa's side, lifting up her shirt and looking at the bite mark, "You're gonna be fine."
N
Lee sighed, running his hand down his face. Ben didn't say anything to Chuck, Carley or the kids while they were cleaning out the RV, so he assumed that whatever he was trying to say was unimportant.
"Maybe we should talk to Kenny about the kids learning how to use guns." Said Lilly, after a period of silence.
"It might be a good idea." Agreed Carley, looking at them, "Y'know, since I'm a bit… impaired."
"I'll talk to Kenny about it." Said Lee, before getting up and muttering, "Just gotten comfortable too."
"Eh, stop whining." Dismissed Lilly, keeping an eye on the limited supplies they had.
Lee rolled his eyes and started walking along the train, passing Ben as he did. He was just about to enter the cab when Ben spoke, "It was me."
"Huh?" Asked Lee, turning to look at the teen.
"I was the one giving the bandits supplies." Confessed Ben, unable to look at Lee.
"What?" Lee's face darkened.
"It's all my fault." Whispered Ben, bowing his head.
"What for?" Demanded Lee, his anger growing, "Why the hell would you do this?"
"They said they had my friend, that he was with them." Ben flinched as Lee glared at him, "By the time I realized they didn't, it was too late. They said they'd kill me. Kill all of us. I'm sorry, Lee."
"Carley and me defended you," Snarled Lee, advancing on Ben, "why the hell should we trust you now?"
"Lee?" Carley limped towards them, "What's going on?"
Lee looked at her, noticing Lilly coming up behind her, "Ben's just confessed to giving the supplies to the Bandits." Growled Lee, scowling at him.
"I fucking knew it." Snarled Lilly, as Carley gave Ben a disappointed look.
"Why?" Asked Carley, looking defeated.
"I-I was scared," Stammered Ben, "T-they said they had my friend a-and I-I believed them. I-I didn't mean for a-any of this to happen! I-I didn't know t-they'd attack us. I-I d-didn't Katjaa w-would get bit!"
Lee froze, before sharing at look with Lilly and Carley. Without thinking, Lee ran towards the cab, with Lilly and Carley following him. Throwing the cab door open, Lee saw an undead Katjaa crouched over a motionless Kenny, "NO!"
The Walker looked up, Lee shook his head, just as Lilly aimed at them and fired two shots. Putting them down.
"Oh, fuck." Groaned Lee, looking at the bodies.
"I'll…" Lilly looked at them, "I'll take over driving."
Lee nodded, "What are we gonna tell Duck?"
Carley sighed, "I don't know." Her gaze landed on Ben, and it immediately hardened, "He has to go."
Lee sighed; he saw how Ben flinched when they looked at him. Deciding to handle the Ben situation later, Lee led Carley to the car.
"What'd my dad say?" Asked Duck, excited about the prospect of learning how to use a gun.
Lee swallowed, before looking at Clementine, "There's something you need to know."
Chuck frowned as Clementine made her way over to Duck, Lee and Carley. Lee knelt down and looked at them, deciding to address the older issue first, Lee sighed, "Clem, do you remember when we met? How I was in your house? Well, while I was there, I listened to some messages from your mom."
Clementine brightened, a wide smile taking over her face.
"Clem, your mom…" Lee sighed again, "Your mom said your dad had been bit, she was with him the entire time. I… I'm sorry, Clem, but they didn't make it."
Clementine froze, before shaking her head, "No. Y-you're wrong. You're lying!"
Lee sighed again, "I wish I was Clem."
Clementine stared at Lee, before tears started running down her face, surging forwards, Clementine buried her face in Lee's chest. Duck looked sad, but still looked hopeful.
"Duck," Carley limped over, "your mom was bit, back at the motel."
Duck stared up at her, "Is she going to be okay?"
Carley sighed, before swallowing the lump forming in her throat, "Duck, she turned and… attacked your dad."
Duck stared up at her, before looking down at the floor. Sighing, Carley put a hand on Duck's shoulder, but the boy shrugged it off and went over to a corner of the boxcar. Carley and Lee shared at look, knowing things were going to be tough for them for a bit.
N
After Clementine and Duck had calmed down, Lee guided both children through how to use a gun, with Carley commenting from the sidelines. Clementine was the batter shot of the two. Lee cut Clementine's hair, and they drew up a provisional plan. Clementine told them that she'd spoken to a stranger on her radio, mentioning that she'd started talking to him on her birthday. It was at that point that Lilly called back to them and stopped the train.
Lee frowned up at the tankers, before glancing at the cab. Lilly had Ben in restraints in a seat across from her in the cab. She'd told Lee that she'd watch Ben while he checked out the roadblock issue. Chuck had suggested that they take the train to it, only for Lilly to yell out the window of the cab. Lilly's yelling got the attention of two passers-by, Omid and Christa.
Sighing, Lee looked at Clementine, "You ready, Sweet Pea?"
Clementine gave Lee a small nod, prompting him to look over at the others, "Clem and I are going to check the station down there, see if they have anything useful."
"Is that a good idea?" Asked Christa, frowning.
"It'll be a learning experience," Justified Lee, "I feel that Clem's ready for it. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?"
Lilly waved at them, as Lee and Clementine walked away. Soon, the two were outside the station, and found the door was locked. Sighing, Lee gave Clementine a boost and the girl managed to unlock the door. They made their way into the station, with Lee propping the door open with the wrench he'd been carrying, before giving Clementine another boost, so she could get into a cage and open it from the inside. Lee was so distracted by making sure that Clementine was alright, that he didn't notice two Walkers coming up behind him.
"Look out!" Clementine's cry made Lee spin around. Lee rushed towards the door, just as Christa appeared. Lee had just grabbed the wrench when Christa took out the Walkers. Looking at her, Lee spotted her aiming at the cage, just as a Walker started limping over towards Clementine. Looking over, Lee saw Clementine pointing the gun she had at where the two Walkers had been, froze, before Christa took out the final Walker.
"So," Christa looked at Lee, "'What's the worst that could happen?'"
Lee didn't bother hiding the wince, "That's on me."
Looking around, Christa spotted what Lee and Clementine were after, "Think that'll help us?"
"Worth a shot." Said Lee, taking the keys from Clementine and putting them in the lock, "Should've made sure the area was clear before doing anything."
"Yeah," Scoffed Christa, "you should've."
Sighing, Lee picked the blowtorch up, before looking down at Clementine, "What'd we learn?"
"That I'm not ready for a gun." Responded Clementine, despondent.
"No," Corrected Lee, gently, "We learned not to be afraid. They shoulda got us, but we got them."
"And pull the trigger," Added Christa, as they started their way back to the train, "don't think about it, just do it and live with the consequences, everything we'll ever do will be dangerous."
"Yeah, you're right." Clementine nodded, looking up at them.
"Fear is the thing that will kill us," Finished Lee, "you understand?"
Clementine nodded. A few minutes later, Lee and Omid were cutting the tanker down, as the others got back on the train. Lee glanced in the direction the train came from and froze at the horde of Walkers.
"Shit," Lee looked down at the cab, "Lilly, start moving the train as soon as this is free!"
Lilly gave Lee what looked like a thumbs up, as the two men worked on cutting the coupling. As soon as the tanker fell, Lee and Omid ran to the other side of the bridge and jumped onto the roof of the train. Lee landed safely, but Omid landed awkwardly and injured his leg. Lee swung himself into the boxcar, as Omid fell to the ground. Christa hopped out and helped him up, with the pair running alongside the train, allowing Lee to pull Omid on board. After making sure Omid was safe, Lee turned to help Christa, only to find the woman hauling herself into the boxcar.
N
Lee sighed, Duck was watching Ben, his dad's hat in his hands. Chuck and, to a lesser extent, Carley moved Kenny and Katjaa and laid them to rest. If leaving them in clearing could be considered laying them to rest, Duck had been with them. Carley hadn't said what Duck said, but he gathered it'd be a goodbye to them.
Lilly had questioned Clementine about the guy on her radio, coming to the conclusion that it might be owner of the car they stole from. He, Carley and Lilly talked over what the best course of action for when they got to Savannah.
"While this is practically unstoppable," Sighed Lilly, twisting around in the drivers seat, "that herd we left behind are still going to follow us. We'd probably have a total of two or three days before they catch up with us."
"Not the best odds." Mused Carley, "Maybe we could find an RV or a place to hunker down and wait it out."
"Which wouldn't be a problem, if we had the supplies." Said Lilly, throwing a dark look at Ben, "We still need to decide what to do with him."
"We can't leave him." Protested Clementine, "He was just scared."
Lee sighed, "Clem, remember what I said earlier."
"Fear gets us killed." Recited Clementine, looking down.
"Ben could've told us about the… 'deal' with the Bandits," Said Lee, "but he decided to go through with the deal without telling us and put the group at risk."
"But if he was scared—" Clementine was cut off by Carley.
"Clementine, Ben almost got all of us killed," Said Carley, "he made a decision that wasn't his to make and it got Kenny and Katjaa killed."
Lee looked at Ben, he understood where Clementine was coming from, but he couldn't let the others be at risk because Ben got scared. Sighing, Lee straightened up, "Ben, anything you'd like to add?"
Ben looked around them, personally Lee thought he looked a bit pathetic, but was prevented from speaking by Duck kicking him. Sighing, Lee pinched the bridge of his nose. It was going to be a long trip.
N
After Duck had kicked Ben, Clementine's radio had crackled to life and Lilly attempted to confront the stranger, but he cut off the connection. They'd come to the temporary agreement to let Ben stay. They'd run the decision past Christa, Omid and Chuck, Christa thought Ben was a liability, but agreed to go along with the decision. They'd arrived in Savannah and were currently walking through the streets. Things were silent, then a bell tolled nearby, the stranger spoke on the radio again and Walkers descended on them.
Carley managed to take out a couple of the Walkers, before she stumbled as she backed away from a Walker. Lilly took the Walker out, before rushing over and hauling Carley to her feet.
"Lee!" Yelled Lilly, "Help her!"
Lee, after taking out a couple of Walkers, ran over and picked Carley up. Glancing around, Lee froze when he saw Clementine surrounded by Walkers with Ben at her side. Christa was supporting Omid and Lilly had a hold of Duck.
"Ben, help her!" Yelled Lee, as Carley shot at the Walkers.
Then Ben ran off, abandoning Clementine. Everyone froze, before a shovel knocked a Walker back. Chuck gave Clementine a push towards the rest of the group, "Get her the hell out of here! I'll catch up with ya!"
Lee nodded, as Clementine reached them. Looking around, Lee spotted Ben, cowering by a sign. For a moment, Lee thought about shooting him, before Clementine spotted him, "Ben!"
The teen looked at, just as a Walker made him move towards them. Ben had just reached them, running past Chuck, when a Walker trapped under a car grabbed his ankle and crawled out. Ben fell forwards, the gun he had skittering over to the group.
"Guys!" Cried Ben, "Help!"
The Walker buried its teeth in Ben's leg, as others, drawn by Ben's screams, started devouring him. Swallowing, Lilly picked up Ben's gun, "Move your asses! River Street's right up ahead!"
"That's not all..." said Carley, as more Walkers approached them.
"Oh," Growled Lilly, "give me a fucking break!"
"Wait, where the hell are Chuck and Ben?" Demanded Christa, looking around.
Chuck continued to kill the Walkers with his shovel as more swarmed him. While Ben continued to cry out as the Walker's devoured him.
"Shit, Chuck's in trouble!" Cried Omid, "We gotta help him!"
Lillylooked at the Walkers approaching them,"We don't have time! We have to go, now!"
"I'll be fine!" Yelled Chuck, knocking down more Walkers, "Just go!"
Reluctantly, Lee turned and led the group away, until they reached an unlocked gate and entered the back yard of a large house.
N
Sighing, Lee dropped down onto a couch. The house was clear of Walkers, save for one in the attic that Lilly took care of. They'd dug up the grave of a dog to get its collar, since the pet door was locked and the only way to unlock it was to bring a microchip that was either in or on the dog close to it. Duck had asked if they could bury the boy with his dog, with the rest of the group watching. Lee had just finished filling the hole when Lilly shot at someone in the street. It was a man, Lilly thought it was the guy that had been speaking to Clementine, they activated Clementine's radio to check and now they had a working pair.
"Jesus Christ." Groaned Lilly, flopping onto the other couch and looking at Lee, "So, what's the plan?"
"Duck's mentioned finding a boat," Said Lee, as Lilly shifted her leg so Omid and Christa could sit down, "said Kenny had mentioned it a couple of times."
"And we have no idea on how to fix one up if we found one." Commented Carley, winced as she shifted her leg and arm, "We left all that stuff to Kenny."
Lee sighed, looking around, "We might as well give it a try, who knows, maybe we'll find some more supplies."
Lilly rolled her eyes, "Fine, I'll get the guns."
N
Lee frowned as he entered the house, he and Lilly had gone down to the river. They hadn't found anything, but they did meet Molly, and find that Clementine had snuck out and followed them. Molly explained that she used the bells to lure the Walkers away from an area of the city, she told them about a place called Crawford. Then the Walkers came back, and Lee was separated from Lilly, Molly and Clementine. He found Chuck's remains and met a small group of cancer survivors, their leader, Vernon, led him through the sewers and to the house.
Lee had mentioned that two of his people were injured to Vernon, with Vernon offering to have a look at them. He found Clementine sitting and looking out a window, for a moment, he was worried that Lilly had been a bit too harsh with her.
"Lilly and Molly helped me find my parents." Said Clementine, "They let me put them down."
Lee frowned, but nodded, before looking up when he heard Lilly come in. The woman looked at him, before sighing, "Carley's going to be fine. The shots were through and through and the tampon trick worked."
Lilly looked around, "Lee, Vernon's mentioned Crawford and their supplies. We're going to be discussing it in a few minutes."
Lee nodded, before looking at Clementine, "Stay here, Clem."
"Okay." Said Clementine, as Lee and Lilly walked out of the room. She waited for a couple of minutes, before following after them.
N
Lee groaned, Clementine and Duck had listened in on their plans to go to Crawford. Clementine insisted on coming with them, while they managed to convince Duck to remain at the house with Carley and Omid. Vernon came back with a member of his group, Brie, and they left for Crawford.
Molly told them about an RV she'd found, it only needed a battery and gas. Lilly and Brie went to get the gas, Christa and Vernon went to get the medicine and Lee went with Molly to get the battery. They left Clementine in the 'command centre', which was just a classroom. The girl wasn't happy about it, but stayed where she was. He and Molly had managed to retrieve a battery, alerting the Walkers to their presence when they set an alarm off.
Molly then took off with the battery in her bag, so Lee went back to the classroom and had a brief chat with Clementine, before Brie and Lilly returned, being chased by Walkers. Lee'd heard them and ran to help, with Clementine shooting a Walker that had its head jammed between the doors. Acting quickly, Lee slid a hatchet through the door handles, preventing the door from opening. The small group returned to the classroom, finding Walkers ambling towards them. They quickly put them down, before Lilly started working on getting a door in the classroom open, leaving Lee to check on Christa and Vernon's progress. They'd gotten into the office but were blocked by a safe. They found a tape and a camera, they'd hoped that the tape had the combination on it, but it wasn't.
Lee had gone looking for anything that could provide them with the safe's combination. He'd eventually found a Walker crawling around in an alley, Lee recognised it, since Molly had pushed it off the roof and started stabbing it with her icepick. Stomping on its head, Lee rummaged through its pockets, finding a tape and a slip of paper. Lee frowned at it, before going back inside when some Walkers started to notice him.
He checked some of the lockers, finding a third tape and went back to Vernon and Christa. They found the combination on the second tape, taking all the medicine and leaving the office. Lee stayed behind, watching the third tape, frowning when he saw Molly and the doctor on it.
N
Duck looked down at the dead Walkers in the living room. They'd gotten in through pet door, he'd put one of them down, while Carley dispatched of the other one. The woman limped around the house, checking the entrances and exits, making sure there weren't any other Walkers lurking in the dark.
After a short while, Carley reappeared, "House is still clear." Said Carley, lowering herself onto the couch, "We're going to have to get the others to work on the barricades when they get back."
Duck gave a silent nod, going over to the window and looking out of it. His face remained expressionless when he saw a reanimated Ben crawling around the streets.
N
Lee growled as the bell started tolling. The hatchet in the door held, just as Lilly finally picked the lock. They climbed to the top of the tower, with Vernon letting out a laugh at the sight of a Walker hanging from the bell. They all managed to leave alive, while the bell drew the surrounding Walkers towards the remains of Crawford, as the survivors returned to the sewers and made their way back to the house.
"I'll get this all hooked up and I'll join you soon." Said Molly, glancing around, "er, I may also need someone who can drive."
The group looked amongst themselves, before Lilly sighed, "I'll do it, see you later."
N
NTL
Carley hissed as Christa checked her stitches, "Careful."
"I'm trying to be." Retorted Christa, Lee had gone with Vernon and Brie, making sure they got back to their people, while Clementine and Duck kept an eye on their supplies. Omid had been given an almost clean bill of health, with orders to keep off his leg for a few days. Carley frowned, seeing Molly and her RV arrive with Lilly at the wheel.
"Where's Lee?" Asked Molly, looking around the group.
"He's escorting Vernon and Brie back to their people." Answered Christa, looking at them, "He's got the other walkie though."
"That massive herd's arrived." Said Lilly, frowning and grabbing the radio she had, "Lee? You there?"
There was a beat of silence, before the radio activated, "He's here."
"Vernon?" Lilly frowned, "Where's Lee?"
"Unconscious," Answered Vernon, "Lee mentioned a working car lying around. We found it and took it to my people… Lee got bit on his left arm. We've amputated and cauterised it. Is there anywhere out of the city where we can meet up?"
"There's a gas station, Randy's Pit Stop," Supplied Molly, looking at them, "I worked there while I took my mechanics class."
"Randy's Pit Stop." Said Lilly, into the radio, "We'll see you there."
"Okay, we'll see you soon." Said Vernon, before the radio cut out.
N
Lilly frowned as the station wagon rolled into the gas station. She could see Lee in the back, looking a bit pale but alive.
"Everything okay?" Asked Lilly, as Vernon helped Lee out of the car.
"For the most part." Said Vernon, "He's got phantom limb, but that's expected."
Lilly nodded, silently watching Molly help Lee into the RV, "Thanks, you could've left Lee to die but you didn't."
Vernon nodded, "Stay safe out there."
"You too." Responded Lilly, before she watched Vernon, and his group drive off. Turning around, she climbed into the RV. Lee was next to Carley and Clementine, Omid and Christa were sitting towards the back, Molly was leaning against the kitchenette and Duck was in the passenger seat at the front.
Sighing, Lilly made her way to the driver's seat. A week ago, she wanted to kill Kenny and Lee, now, she found her main concern being Duck, since Clementine had Lee, and evidently Carley, watching over her.
"So, where do we go?" Asked Lilly, after putting on her seat belt.
"We could try north." Suggested Lee, sounding tired, "Try and kick around the national parks or something."
"The cold might slow the Walkers down." Mused Christa, "But we'll need supplies first."
"We got a fairly good haul here," Shrugged Molly, "might be the same at other gas stations."
Lilly let out a sigh, "Maybe." Without another word, the RV pulled off and the group found themselves falling into a comfortable silence, with Lee falling asleep.
