My Protector (Clementine X Male Reader)

Chapter 7: 3 months later

Y/N's POV

It's been three months since we moved to the motor inn, during that time, A new person named Mark joined us. I am out hunting with him right now. He sees a bird and aims at it.

Y/N: Be careful if you're gonna shoot it.

Mark: I wouldn't shoot if I didn't think I would make it.

He shoots, but misses.

Y/N: That's another meal lost.

Then me and Mark heard screaming. We both ran in the forest and saw two teens and a grown man trapped in a bear trap. Kenny then runs over.

Kenny: Y/N! You guys okay?

I looked at two teens and a grown man trapped in a bear trap.

Man: Get it off!! Get it off, God Dammit, GET IT OFF ME!!

Teen: Travis, maybe they can help!

Travis: These might be the same guys that raided our camp and... We barely got away from that!

Y/N: Why is there a bear trap out here? What the hell happened?

Teen: Mr. Parker said we should stay off the streets! we were trying to be careful but-

Mr. Parker: ARGGHHH!!!

Mark: We got to help 'em.

Teen: PLEASE!

Travis: Ben, shut up! My dad was Special Forces, I know what i'm doing!

Ben: Just see if you can get him out! After that you can leave us or whatever, I don't care! Please!

Y/N: Was he bitten?

Ben: Bitten? No! I swear!

Mark: There's no release latch.

Travis: Oh no.

Walkers were coming, Kenny, and Mark started shooting them while I was trying to get Mr. Parker free.

Kenny: We are going to get surrounded if he keeps screaming!

Mark: HURRY!

I ended up cutting his leg and Travis got eaten by walkers. We ran back to the motor inn and Ben came with us. We make it back to the motel.

Y/N: GET THE GATES OPEN! WE'VE GOT WOUNDED

Lilly: Shit. What the hell are they doing?

Kenny: Come on!

Lots of people talked at once.

Clementine: Y/N, are you ok?

Kenny: Kat! Can you fix him?

Katjaa: Jesus Ken! I don't know!

Lilly: Y/N! Y/N! What the hell?! You can't just be bringing new people here! What are you thinking?!

Kenny: You wanna calm down a minute!

Y/N: He would have died, if we let him!

Larry: So what?

Lilly: We are NOT responsible for every struggling survivor we come across! WE have to focus on OUR group! Right here. Right now.

Carley: Well, hang on! We haven't even talked to these people yet! Maybe they CAN be helpful!

Mark: Come on, Lilly. These are people! People trying to survive just like us. We've gotta stick together to survive!

Lilly: The only reason you are still here is because you had food. Enough for ALL of us. But that food is almost gone, we've got maybe a week's worth left, and I don't suppose you guys are carrying any groceries, are you?!

Ben: Um. No

Mark: Fine. You guys fight it out, then. Welcome to the family, Kid.

Clem grabbed Ben's hand.

Clementine: Come over here and see what I drew.

Ben: What? No, I-

Clementine: Just come on, okay.

Clem takes Ben away from our fight.

Kenny: You like to think you are the leader of this group, but we can make our own goddamn decisions! This isn't your personal dictatorship!

Lilly: I didn't ask to lead this group!

Y/N: Kenny's right. You are not in charge of people's lives.

Lilly: Really?!

Kenny: You weren't there! Y/N made a choice. End of story.

Kenny walks away.

Lilly: If you think I'm doing such a shitty job, then you do it!

She gets out the food and hands it to me.

Lilly: That's ALL the food for today. YOU decide who gets to eat!

I look at the food. There are ten hungry people, but only four gets to eat. I walk to Clem.

Y/N: Hey Clem, you should eat something.

I give her half an apple.

Clementine: Thanks! I love apples!

Y/N: Clem, where's your hat.

Clementine: I don't know. Can you help me find it?

Clementine: Thanks.

Y/N: No problem.

I give Duck food, then give Kenny food. I then give Mark the last piece of food, and give him my axe. I then walk to Katjaa to see how the man did, he died. Then it became a walker and attacked Katjaa. I grab it, but then it goes for me. Mark came over with the axe and killed it.

Larry: Why'd ya bring him here in the first place, asshole?!

Lilly: Dad! Calm down.

Larry: You're gonna get us ALL killed!

Kenny: YOU said he wasn't bitten!

He said looking at Ben.

Ben: What?

Kenny: We asked you, point blank, "was he bitten?" and you said "No."

Ben: He wasn't!

Kenny: Well your "not-bitten" friend here came back to life and tried to kill my wife!

Ben: What?!! Wait, y'all don't know?

Kenny: What the hell are you talking about?

Everyone gathers around us.

Ben: It's not the bite that does it! You come back no matter how you die. If you don't destroy the brain, that's just what happens. It's gonna happen to ALL of us.

We were all shocked about what we just heard.

Y/N: We're all infected? All of us?

Ben: I- I guess so. I don't know... All I know is that I've seen people turn who I KNOW were never bitten. When I first saw it happen, we were all hiding out in the gym and everybody thought we were finally safe. But one of the girls, Jenny Pitcher I think, I guess she could't take it. She took some pills. A lot of them. Someone went in the girls' room the next morning and..God...

Carley: Back Off!
