Project V (Clementine X Male Reader Book 4)

Surrounded

Walkers slam into the wall as they arrive. Hundreds, no, thousands, running at you. Anyone that fled the safety of Marinus was torn to shreds within seconds. You watched a few, running for their lives. They realized too late that there was no escape out there and didn't have time to make it back.

Alice: We're going through that?

You look over at her. She's definitely scared, not like the rest of everyone else, though. From her point of view, you've just basically asked her to throw her life away.

You: Yep.

The entire wall is swaying under you. The guard post is on its own legs, so you're sparred from rocking back and forth. What is the wall even made of? It looks sturdy, but there are so many Walkers that it just can't keep from giving a little. Will it hold until you fix this?

Alice: But how?

The Walkers are still running over. Once a few more of them arrive, that'll be your cue to leave.

You: We run.

Alice: We'll be killed and eaten before we make it anywhere near the backend of them.

You: Ah, you're worrying too much.

Alice: Whatever, man, I'm out of here. I didn't expect it to be this bad.

You grab her arm.

You: No, you're coming with me.

Alice: Listen, I'm not an idiot. That.

She points out at the Walkers.

Alice: Is suicide.

You: Trust me.

Alice: I don't.

She rips her arm free.

You: Listen, you don't have a choice.

Alice: The hell I don't.

You: You aren't affected by whatever everyone else is. So, you're coming with me.

Alice: What does that have to do with anything?

You: I don't trust you. So, you're coming with me whether you like it or not. I will drag you along if I have to.

Alice: Yeah, right.

You: I don't know if it's just a fluke, so I'm hesitating whether or not I should just kill you here. Your best option is to cooperate.

Alice: Alright, you want to kill me, kill me.

You: No, I don't want to.

You turn to look out at the Walkers. It's almost time to go.

You: Marina likes you whether she'll admit it or not. Completely platonic, I assume.

Alice: Alright, just... Shut up. What's the plan?

You pick her up, holding her over your shoulder.

Alice: What the hell are you doing?!

You: Hang on.

Alice: Hang on?!

You: That's what I said.

Alice: Don't you dare jump down there?!

You: Lighten up. We'll be clear in no time.

Before she can say anything else, you jump. You put all the power in your legs you can to get as far as you can. Alice is screaming, gripping the back of your shirt; the Walkers are preparing to catch you as you fall; you're smiling, knowing that you're invulnerable and they can't do a thing to harm you.
