TWD: Last (Clementine X Male Reader Book 3)

Decimation-5

Your POV...

The meat you're eating is delicious. What was it again? You look over at Clementine to ask her, but she's deep in conversation with your guests. You lean back and keep eating. You're the only one who is.

This is supposed to be a super crucial, last meeting before this big attack, but you couldn't care less. You told Clem you didn't need one, but she insisted that you had it. You both knew they'd be coming by the day's end since you took Ara... To be honest, you haven't heard a single word anyone has said after the greetings. You couldn't care less.

Clem: Y/N.

Clem whispers and punches your leg.

You: What?

Clem: Pay attention.

Allison is talking now. You roll your eyes at Clem.

Clem: Don't roll your eyes at me.

Clementine raises her voice, and everyone stops talking. You look up for just a second and then back at your food.

Clem: Y/N, quit being an asshole.

You: I'm not.

You stuff your mouth full.

Clem: Oh, really?

You: Yeah, really.

Clem: I bet you haven't listened to a word anyone has said too.

You: You'd be correct.

Clem: Is what they have to say not important to you?

You: Not at all.

Clem: We're leaders, Y/N. We have to know things so that we can make the best plan.

You: Mhm, and I already have the plan figured out.

Clem: Oh? Please enlighten us then, wise one.

You look at everyone standing in the room. It's a lot emptier than usual. Day got killed some time while you were gone, Marina is out doing a task, and Brooklyn...

You: I will greet them at the top of the east gate, where the leaders will most likely be. Everyone else in the community will be in a vehicle. Those will be lined up outside the east gate. When you hear the screaming, it's time to go. Drive as fast as you can out of there, then we'll meet up somewhere. We have enough talkies for every car, right?

Aj: What happens if they kill you?

You: They won't. They'll want to talk.

Allison: You said to wait for the screams. They're screams?

You: Yep.

Allison: And how exactly are you going to get them to scream?

You: I have my ways.

Clem: Why don't you have Aj up there with you to back you up?

You: I don't need anyone with me.

Clem: Don't be stupid.

You: I'm not. I can handle it myself.

Clem: Can I speak with you?

She grabs your hand and drags you out of the room and to your room. She shuts the door behind her.

You: What?

You sigh.

Clem: Don't go getting yourself killed because Brooklyn is gone.

You: Who's saying that's what I'm doing? Because I didn't.

Clem: You just said in there that you were going to face down an army by yourself.

You: Well, I didn't say I was fighting them.

Clem: If they have a shot at you, do you think they wouldn't take it?

You: I can handle it.

Clem: And you can't just be an asshole to everyone because you're upset.

You: I wasn't.

Clem: You have been for days. Everything you do is fake and unmotivated. We have an entire community out there looking to us for guidance; we can't act like this.

You: Are you done?

Clem: Are you?

You: Not until they're dead.

Clem: You already got Ara.

You: But I didn't get the rest of them. They're all surrounding the god damned place, and I have a chance to kill them.

Clem: You need to protect our people first. You need to be there for Marina. You can't go and get yourself killed for the sake of revenge. You've already got it anyway.

You: Brooklyn wouldn't be satisfied.

Clem: Yes, she would! And she'd tell you to shut the fuck up and worry about us.

There's a knock on the door.

Marina: Mom? Dad?

Clementine opens the door.

Clem: We're in the middle of something.

Marina: They're coming up the road.

You: Is it ready, Marina?

Marina: Yes.

You clap your hands together.

You: Awesome. Showtime.
