Stranded Souls (TWDG Clementine x Male Reader)

[S3 EP8] Waiting Around To Die

The wind was blowing, causing everyone that was a hostage to shiver. All of their eyes were glued onto Lucifer Graham, the man who was going to determine their fate.

"We are The Reapers," Lucifer says. "Do you know what the Grim Reaper is?"

No one moved or said anything.

"The Grim Reaper collects souls. While I don't own a scythe," He twirls his bat. "This will hurt a lot more. Well, for you. For me, it's going to be so much fun!"

Lucifer laughs as he walks over to each hostage. "I've talked briefly to two of you here," He points to Clem and Y/N. "This group of people here is interesting. I've watched over you guys for a while now, especially you Boarding School kids. Instead of fighting to protect your school, you ran away like cowards. You should follow in your leader's footsteps. They are survivors, but they also have weaknesses. After tonight, I hope to convince a few of you to join my side."

He backs up to the campfire and smiles at Clem. "The Reapers hunt at night. We collect souls, and in return, we show how much power we have. We've taken out communities that have tried to stop us. I really like you two," He points to Y/N and Clem. "And I don't want to destroy your guys' home. Out of all the people I have met, you two have enough balls to spit in my face even when I have you wrapped around my finger! I like that! You two are the exact model of who I want next to me in war."

He sighs. "But, I know that is unrealistic. No matter what I do, I won't change your mind. I understand. Despite you two being my favorites, I can't let you guys walk away so easily. You stepped into our territory, and for that, you all must pay. I'm going to hit you right where it hurts."

"W-What do you want from us?" Y/N asks. One of the guards from behind goes to hit him, but Lucifer sticks his hand out.

"Well, to ensure that we don't do this again, I want half of your shit. I will come by periodically and ask for it. If you don't give it, I will have to kill more of you to prove my point," Lucifer says. 

"You're sick," Y/N says. "You and your people are all sickos!"

"WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE!" Lucifer yells. "I MUST NOT ONLY TAKE OVER WHATEVER IS LEFT OF THIS WORLD BUT PREPARE MY PEOPLE FOR WHAT IS TO COME."

There it was again. Clem grimaces realizing what he meant. She didn't know if his theory was true or not, but she couldn't throw that idea to the side. It was a good theory.

"It's... rather unfortunate we were only able to round up a few of the people that Delta captured," Lucifer says. "But, since they are familiar with some of your people, it'll do for now,"

Lucifer glances at all the faces that are dimly lit up by the campfire. 

"Enough chit-chat, time to get on with the ceremony," Lucifer says. Tightening his grip on the bat, he smiles. "One of you will get their head bashed into the ground with my bat here! Like I said, I am going to hit you where it hurts,"

Lucifer paces up and down the row of people. He knew from the start who he was going to kill off first, but he decided to play the waiting game to get them nervous.

The row of people went as followed: Casey, Chloe, AJ, Y/N, Clem, Damion, Lucy, Violet, Louis, Marlon, Ruby, Omar, Aasim, Willy, and Mitch.

The names of each other were unknown, with everyone not knowing who was who since this was the first time they met each other. 

Suddenly, Lucifer stops in front of Violet. Violet shakes as Lucifer stares down at her. He puts both hands on the bat, and as he raises it in the air, he quickly turns and hits Louis in the head.
