The girl - a clementine x male reader story

Chapter 138 - what to choose?

You wake up and it's still dark outside with only the first gloom of dawn showing.

You sigh as you look out of the window.

It's looking like today is going to be foggy all day. Looks pretty dense from what you can see. That can't be good walkers can come out of nowhere. Especially today is the day Mike and Bonnie leave. And maybe Elise and Beth depending. You and clem had advised to do the voting in the morning because neither of you want any of them to get stuck out there after dark.

You are all going to vote around 8 o'clock. And it looks like it's about half 5 now.

You should probably get up and make sure the bags you are going to give them have everything they need.

Tiredly, you get up.

You back at clem she shuffles in her sleep.

You gently roll her over and tuck the blanket tightly around her to keep her warm.

You get dressed and tighten you belt around your waist.

You fling your coat on and fix the hood from it's awkward position.

You tighten the holster on your leg and slip your revolver in and click the holder over it.

You put your right arm through the leather harness of your shoulder piece and tighten the straps across your chest. You make sure the shoulder piece is in the right position before picking up your axe and placing it on the holder on the harness.

You quickly slot your knife onto the holster on the back of your belt and open the door.

You leave and make your way down the hall way.

On your way to the exit to the courtyard you bump into Elise in the hall.

You: why are you up? You should be getting some rest.

Elise: I tried but I couldn't, I'm just too worried.

You: come on.

You lead her into her temporary room.

You: lay down.

You walking over to the candle to blow it out but Elise stops you.

Elise: can we talk for a bit?

You: depends.

Elise: I'll talk about anything. I just need a distraction. Stop me from pulling my hair out.

You: if it will help you sleep. What do you want to talk about?

Elise: you decide.

You: ok ummmmmm.

You sit on the bed across from hers as she looks at you laying sideways.

You: knuckledusters?

Elise: yeah. What about them?

You: nothing. Just not a usual weapon.

Elise: I have my reasons.

You: which are?

Elise: well I just think that a lot of people end up relying on one weapon, a sword for example, and then in a situation where they don't have it with them, they aren't working at their best.

You: so you chose knuckle dusters because?

Elise: well if the only weapons I use need to be punched, if I get captured and they are taken I can still punch my way out and I'll be in my element.

You: smart. Why two pairs?

You say gesturing at them resting on the desk.

Elise: well these I use the most.
