So if you were expecting this chapter to start with Badass Lee braving through a herd of walkers using nothing but a meat cleaver, i got some bad news. I can't write it. Hear me out. The scene in the game is too badass for me! The badass levels shoot through the stars! If i write it, it won't be as badass. Now kick back and enjoy Lee save Clementine in The Walking Dead.

Lee's POV...
I entered The Marsh House. I walked around the hall and went into a room. I opened it and saw a string tying a closet shut. I then heard a door open. "I got us in adjoining room." A guy said. He was Clementine's kidnapper. "Hello." I simply said.
"Okay. Th-this is civil." The Stranger said. "You look horrible. And you're missing snd arm." He noted. "Go over there." I went to the table he pointed at. "Put your things down..."
"Let me out! Who's out there?" Clem asked.
"Quiet please, sweetie." He said. I cringed hearing him call Clem sweetie. "Your things. There." He told me. I set down the walkie talkie and the cleaver. "Good. Sit down." The stranger said.
I sat down in front of him. "Do you know who I am?" He asked me.
"Yes." I said, even though I wasn't entirely sure who he was.
"So you saw my car outside. Find anything else you wanna take? Not much left in there." He said.
"Everything was just there for the taking."
"For the taking? Do you know what you took from me?" He asked.
"Whatever it was, I'm sorry." I told him. He told me the story of his family dying and when he first heard Clementine. Then he started accusing me of stuff. "You brought her into a dairy full of sick people and let them get their hands on her." He said.
"I was trying to find a safe place for her."
"You abandoned a defenseless, grieving woman." He said, referring to Lilly.
"She deserved it. She killed another woman in our group." I told him.
"The sweatshirt she's wearing was my boy's. You stole that from us!" He told me.
"We were starving, it was cold."
"SO MY FAMILY STARVED IN THE COLD!" He snapped. He aimed his gun at me. He settled down and fixed himself. He told me he can take Clem and have a family. "I bet you don't even know how old she is."
"She's eight."
"Wrong. She's nine. Her birthday was 6 days ago. And Y/n was born 4 days and 5 years before her." He told me.
"So that means..."
"He's 14." The stranger said.
"Look. I was bitten." I told him.
"You were what?"
"Yeah. I probably don't have a whole lotta time." I told him. "I'm sorry, again."
"I'm glad this didn't get violent." The stranger said. He looked in a bowling bag. I saw Clem come out of the closet. "I wish things didn't go this way, but its all over hun. Isn't it?" He looked at me.
"Just about." I said. Clem saw a glass bottle and grabbed it. She snuck up behind the stranger as he said, "she wouldn't hurt a fly." and hit him on the back of the head. I tackled the stranger and wrestled the gun out of his hand and pushed him at the bed. He went for his gun, but i rammed him into the closet. I head-butted him and started strangling him. I kept my hand on his neck until he dropped to the ground. I grabbed his gun and shot him in the head. "He would've come back." Clem said. She hugged me. "Lets go." I said. I went to the door and opened it, but a walker was here. It didn't bite me, though. I grabbed him and shot him. "It didn't bite you." Clem said. "You're covered in all its blood." She said.
"Yeah. That may be our way out of here." I said. I chopped the walker's chest open and pulled out its guts. I smeared the guts on Clementine. "One more thing." I returned Clementine her hat. "I thought it was gone." She said.
"I thought you were gone. Lets go. Stay close to me." I told her.

We stepped outside and started roaming through the street. Eventually, Clementine stopped and looked at two walkers. I recognized them too. It was her parents. Then the world started going dark. "Clem...don't..." I tried telling her to not go to them, but I passed out.
