Hi y'all. So a question I got not long ago about this story. Will the reader fall in love with someone in this story?
The answer is no in this story, and quite possibly not in any of The Walking Dead Game stories.

Lee's POV...
I chopped a walker in the back. I saw it had eaten something. Mark came up next to me. We met Mark at an air force base when chaos was going down. He had food and we recruited him. We've been rationing food ever since we got him. "Damn it. What'd they get this time?" He asked.
"It looks like a rabbit." I said.
We continued walking through the woods. "I still can't believe we went through all that commissary food in 3 months. It seemed like so much at the time."
"Maybe you shouldn't have opened the door."
"Then I'd probably BE food by now. Trust me, i have no regrets." Mark replied. "When I accidentally grabbed for Carley's rations the other night, i thought she was gonna take my hand." He added, sounding slightly worried. "We're all on edge. Just cut her some slack." I told him.
"I just wish I knew how much food we had left." Mark said. He closed his eyes and tried to imagine how much we had left.
"You will have to ask Lilly, she's the one handling food." I told him.
"Or mishandling it, if you ask Kenny."
"He's just worried about his kid getting enough. I'm worried about Clementine and Y/n, too." I added.
"You know, Kenny's been talking about taking off in the RV if he can get it working." Mark told me. I was well educated on Kenny wanting to leave the Motor Inn. I wanted to give my opinion about Kenny. "Kenny won't abandon us. He's a good man." I told him.
"Did you hear Larry going off on him last night? Whats the old guy's deal, anyway? Sounds like he has a problem with you in particular."
"He thinks I'm a danger to the group, and to Clementine and Y/n." I told Mark. I knew Larry wasn't gonna go telling everyone about that. Three months ago, he said he knew who I was, but I'm not dangerous to everyone.

Three months ago...
I walked up to Larry. "You like my daughter?" He asked me.
"She's fine." I simply said, assuming that was the answer he wanted.
"Fine huh? Well just fuck you, Lee Everett." He said in a sour tone. "Thats right, I know who you are, and I know you're a killer."

Present day...
"Well, I think Larry's the dangerous one. I wouldn't be surprised if Lilly's been secretly slipping him rations." Mark said. I agreed with him. "He's a walking pile-driver. And didn't he punch you in the face that one time?"
"Knocked me flat." I said. Mark saw a bird on a tree and aimed his rifle at it. "Don't. Gunshot'll bring walkers. One bird's not worth it." I told him. We heard a loud yell of pain and the bird flew off. "Shit! Was that Kenny?" Mark asked me.
"I don't know. Come on!" I said.

We started running in the direction of the screaming. We saw 3 people. Two of them looked like they were college kids and the third guy was probably their teacher. One problem with the teacher, he was in a bear trap. Kenny ran to us. "Lee! You guys okay?" Kenny asked. He noticed the guy in the bear trap.
"Travis, maybe they can help!"
"These look like the same people that raided our camp, we barely got away from that!"
"We're not gonna hurt you!" I told them.
"Just see if you can get him out. After that, you can leave us or whatever, I don't care. PLEASE!"
"Was he bitten?"
"No, i swear!"
Mark examined the trap. "Lee, the trap has been altered. There's no release latch!"
We saw walkers coming to us. "Kenny! Keep those walkers off of me!" I told Kenny. Him and Mark got the boys back and started shooting the walkers. I grabbed a rock and threw it at the chain. I then used my axe to try to cut the chain. "Lee, we used chains like that in the air force base! You're NOT gonna cut through that!" Mark yelled. I grabbed a stick and tried prying the trap open, but the stick broke. "Goddamnit!" I tossed the stick. "Damnit Lee, just cut off his fucking leg!" Mark yelled.
I looked at his leg and realized thats what needed to be done. I swung the axe down on his leg. The teacher yelled in pain.
"Fuck I'm just wasting ammo now! We gotta go!" Kenny yelled. I swung the axe down again and cut his leg deeper. I swung again and his leg was nearly cut. I swung one final time and his leg was cut free. The teacher passed out. "If he's alive, grab him and lets go." Kenny said. Mark grabbed the teacher and him and Kenny started walking. One of the kids started walking, and I saw another about to get grabbed by a walker. "Behind you!" I yelled. The kid with me saw him. I had to grab him. "Travis!"
"Come on, we gotta move!"
Travis backed up against a rock and was eaten by walkers.
