Clementine x Male Reader: Enemy Within

Chapter 43

Cowards, all of them. One minute they threaten to end you and everything you've worked hard for. The next, they're running when you decide to fight back.

You unload your rifle into the crowd of panicking Maulers and M1's. Not a care in the world for who you hit or kill. It doesn't matter though, they would've done the same to you.

You push Clementine into cover behind the door to your truck while unloading your rifle. Joseph, Louis, and the rest of your crew are busy getting their payback.

After your magazine empties, you abandon your rifle inside of your truck and use the pistols your so-called "friend" gave you. You take notice of Zelus and Mark firing back at your crew and decide to fire at them, but it's no use as they squirm away with the rest of the rats that remain alive.

You signal your crew to cease fire after they flee their own battle. You observe as bodies are littered throughout the area, some dead, others barely alive or injured, but you're having none of it.

Y/N: "Slaughter the ones that remain! I want one alive!"

You holster your pistols and check on Clem, who's still crouching behind the door while catching her breath.

Y/N: "Get up."

You take her hand and help her up while patting any dirt off of her.

Clem: "Are you hurt?"

Y/N: "I'm fine."

You try to turn away, but she grabs your face and plants her lips onto yours. It's been a while since you both shared a meaningful kiss, and by the passion she was putting into it, you knew she was longing for it.

You part after a while and she stares at you, waiting for any response.

Y/N: "We have work to do." You mutter, before gently removing her hands off of you.

You turn away from her and see Louis helping Joseph drag an injured M1 towards you. You meet them halfway and Joseph drops the man onto his hands and knees.

You crouch down to get face to face with the terrified looking man.

Y/N: "What's your name?"

M1: "... J-Jack."

You and Joseph both simultaneously hang your heads low.

Y/N: "Jack, you're gonna tell me everything I want to know." You demand, pressing the hot, hard metal of your pistol against his temple.

The terrified man observes his surroundings. Knowing he's captured and has more than fifty people ready to off him starts to sink in.

Jack: "... I-I can't."

You clench your jaw in frustration before standing up and holstering your pistol.

Y/N: "Have it your way."

You turn your back to him, acting like you're going to walk away before turning around and punting Jack in the face, knocking him out cold.

Louis: "... Jesus..."

Joseph glances at Louis in an uncomfortable manner before walking towards the man and dragging him towards the back of your truck. You watch as walkers start to draw into the area from all the noise.

Y/N: "Let's move!"

~~~~~~~~~~

You finish tying Jack's unconscious body to a chair. You quickly turn your head as you hear the basement door open and footsteps coming down the stairs.

Y/N: "I told you I wanted to be alone, Clem."

You quickly take notice of Joseph as he steps into the light and retract your statement.
