My Protector (Clementine X Male Reader)

Chapter 28: Found her

Y/N's POV

I was walking down the hall in the Marsh House. I was extremely pale. My time was running out. I walk in the door that Clem is supposed to be at. It was empty. I saw a rope connected to two doors. probably to keep Clem locked. I turn around to see a man holding a gun at me. The man on the radio. The Stranger.

Stranger: I got us adjoining rooms.

Y/N: I'm going to kill you.

Stranger: I have a gun. You look horrible. Go over there.

I see two chairs. I sit on one. The Stranger sits on the one facing me.

Stranger: Put your things down.

I then hear knocking.

Clementine: Let me out! Who's out there?

I was about to speck but The Stranger points his gun at me.

Stranger: Shh. Quiet please, sweetie!

I put my things down.

Stranger: Do you know who I am?

Y/N: Yeah. I know who you are.

Stranger: You saw my car then. You see anymore stuff in there? Not any left.

Y/N: Everything was out there for the taking. We were starving.

Stranger: For the taking?! Do you know what you TOOK from me?! Have you ever hurt somebody you care about?

Y/N: Not on propose.

Stranger: I hurt my wife so bad. I took my son hunting. Even though my wife said no. I came back without him and the look on her face said... "You are a MONSTER!." We went out looking for him. We never found him. I hurt her so bad. Then you took our things. You robbed us. I could've earned her trust back. But not after that.

Y/N: I'm sorry.

Stranger: The hungrier we got the more she blamed me. Until she finally took our daughter and left. They didn't get far... I... found them a day later. In the road. Do I look like a monster to you?

Y/N: No.

Stranger: I'm not like you. You walked a little girl into a diary full of sick people and let them get their hands on her.

Y/N: I was trying to find a safe place for her.

Stranger: You abandoned a defenseless grieving woman.

Y/N: That bitch had it coming.

The sweatshirt she's wearing was my boy's. You stole that from us.

Y/N: I fucked up.

Stranger: Yes you did.

Y/N: How could you know all of this?

He then puts his own walkie down.

Stranger: You're a monster. You're a murderer and a thief and I'm going to hurt you so bad.

Y/N: It doesn't have to be this way.

Stranger: You can't take care of anyone. After I heard Clementine on the radio and realized who you folks were, I came after you purely for revenge. But the more I heard about the things you did and the danger she was in... our plan changed. Y/N, listen to me. I need you to hear this before what happens next. I can take care of her. We can have a family. I bet you don't even know old she is.

Y/N: She's eight

Stranger: Wrong. She's nine. Her birthday was six days ago.

Y/N: You're not taking her.

Stranger: Y/N.

Y/N: I said no.

He then looked at his bag.

Stranger: Honey. I think this is all going to work out.

I saw Clem somehow get out of the room. I use my head to tell her to get the cleaver on the table. She does and attacks him. I then charged him into the closet. I was choking him with my one arm. But due to the bite. I was weak. He countered and charged me on the ground and started choking me.

Stranger: Son of a bitch. Just go away. Die!

Then the stranger was shot in the head. Clem shot him.

Clementine: I... I... I...

I hugged her. She hugged back.

Y/N: It's okay. You are safe now.

Clem looked at me.

Clementine: Your arm is gone, you look horrible.

Y/N: I know.

Clementine: You don't smell good.

Y/N: I know. Let's go.

I open the door to see a walker. It did not attack me. It was going for Clem. I killed it.

Clementine: It didn't attack you.

Y/N: Maybe because of the blood. Lets put it on you.

I rubbed walker guts on Clem. We then went outside to blend with the walkers. Clem then stopped. She was looking at two walkers with sadness. It was her parents.

Y/N: I'm sorry Clem. Come on. We need t-to---

I then pass out.
