Tripp: "what?! Why?! What if he attack us and eat us or tear us up limb from limb"

Clementine stop hugging: "he won't, he just save all of us." she look at Tripp "he's isn't a monster.. He was experimented on two years ago by A scientist I don't know what tests he did to Ren but that is one of the effects. It's not Ren's fault that he cant control it"

Javi: "Clementine is right, even he's like that doesn't mean we have to treat him like an monster, like those things"

Gabe: "but Javi-"

Kate looked at Gabe: "no Gabe, Ren is your friend he might have a reason why he didn't tell us"

Mariana: "he was bitten.."

They look at Mariana and Kate spoke: wait what? "

Clementine: "for how long?"

Mariana looked at Ren and Ren nodded then spoke : "a few hours ago I was stalling the zombies while Mariana was trying to find the keys for the car then i got bitten on my shoulder"

Clementine: "I see.."

Mariana: "he even told me that he was bitten before like a few years ago"

Clementine: "yeah.. I was there, our friend.. Duck he got bitten and he tired to bite me.. But Ren saved me by letting himself get bite... He didn't turn after that "

Kate: "so he's immune? My god.."

Tripp: "this is way much to take in.."

Ren: "yeah.. I know.." Ren gets up slowly with the help of Clementine" what are you guys going to do..? "

Tripp: "well I don't think we could leave the kid behind

Kate chuckle: "we won't kick you out or anything. You staying with us and your girlfriend can stay as well"

Ren and Clementine: "oh we're not_!"

Clementine: "I mean..-"

Ren: "s-she is staying but she isn't-" Ren feels something is off

Ren: "something is wron-"

Suddenly everyone heard a sound of a gun shot then a sound of something being pierce through, they turn to the sound and saw Mariana with a bullet wound in the middle of her head, they went in shock as her body feel to the floor Ren eyes turn red slit  glowing and Kate gets shot in her stomach they all duck down to take cover

He turn around and goes to Mariana body, he feel sad to leave her like this, he dig the dirt from the ground with his hands, when it was big enough for Mariana body to fit he goes to her, pick her up as he carry her to the hole and gentle put her down in. Ren felt sadden while covering her body with dirt, after that he gather stones and places them on the dirt.
