If Lee Survived

Chapter 2: The Enemy

Clementine

The next morning

Lee decided that we should stay here a little longer, so Pete invited him to check out the fish traps they had laid out.

" Clementine can stay at the house, give us adults some time to chat."  Pete suggested.

" That won't be necessary. Clementines tougher than she looks. She's coming with me."  He said nodding to me and I nodded back in agreement.

" Suit yourself. It's good you got her like that. This world's no place for the weak."  Pete smiled.

And so, Pete, Lee, Nick and I headed out to check on the traps together. Lee and Pete made small talk while we walked but i wasn't paying much attention to their conversation.

" Hey, I just wanted to apologize for the way Rebecca acted last night. She's just having a hard time trusting people since we ran away from Carver. "  Nick said breaking the comfortable silence I was in.

" Don't worry about it. She doesn't bother me. I'm not afraid of her."  I replied.

" She's not so bad once you get to know her."  Nick added. I ignored him and continued to walk. " What the hell."  Lee said as he and Pete suddenly stopped.

Nick joined them to see what they were looking at. I pushed past Lee to see and gasped at the sight.

Dozens of corpses littered the ground in front of us. Pete walked up to one of the corpses to get a better look and shook his head. " Full of holes."

" Who do you think did this?"  Lee asked looking around at all the bodies.

" Not sure yet, but it ain't your average gang a thugs , that much I know."  Pete replied turning to look at the scene.

Nick grew quiet for a second as he looked down. " Think about it, You're Carver, what do you do?"  He stated after a second.

" You think he coulda did something like this?"  Lee asked looking at Pete.

Pete sighed. " Can't tell. Let's search the bodies, see if anyone's still alive to tell us what happened here."  He said before bending down to search one of the bodies.

Lee and I crossed over the water to the other side, to check the other bodies. As Lee checked one body, I slowly approached another near by.

Once I was in clear view of the person's face I gasped. He looked like a male version of the girl from the restrooms. " You were with that group... The one that attacked us."  I said once I realized he was still alive.

He coughed roughly and groaned out a low response. " Water."

" Where's Christa and Omid? Did you hurt them?"  I asked ignoring his request. I wasn't about to give him water when he and his group attacked us for no reason.

" Clem? You okay?"  Lee asked approaching me.

" It's one of the guys who attacked us. He might know where Christa and Omid are." I pointed out.

But when I looked down at the man, he was already dead. I sighed taking my knife out and stabbing him in the head, so he wouldn't come back.

" He was alive when I found him. Maybe if he's here, Christa and Omid are close too!"  I added.

" Where the hell are you going? We gotta get the fuck outta here."  Nick snapped causing Lee and I to look over in his direction.

" Gotta check the rest."  Pete replied crossing the river.
