The Walking Dead: Season 1 (Male Reader x Clementine)

Chapter 7: New Survivors

Three Months Later...

A zombie is eating a rabbit. Lee  walks up behind it and axes it in the back of the head. Mark walks up behind him.

Mark: Damn it. What'd they get this time?

Lee: Looks like a rabbit.

Mark: Well, that's another meal lost.

They start walking.

Mark: I still can't believe we went through all that commissary food in three months. It seemed like so much at the time.

Lee: Maybe you shouldn't have opened the door.

Mark: Yeah, except then I'd probably be food right now. Trust me, I have no regrets.

Lee: A rabbit's hardly a meal, Mark, but... I'd take it. We're all hungry.

Mark: No kidding.

Mark: When I accidentally grabbed for Carley's rations the other night, I thought she was gonna take off my hand!

Lee: We're all on edge. Just cut her some slack.

Mark: Yeah, you're right. I wish I knew for sure how much food we have left.

Lee: We'll manage.

Mark: Maybe. You know some people aren't too happy about the way Lilly  is handling rations.

Lee: Lilly knows it's important to keep the adults fed and functioning. Sometimes that means someone's gotta miss a meal.

Mark: You think Kenny's having any more luck than we are out here?

Lee: I sure hope so.

Mark: Yeah, between the lack of food and Kenny and Lilly fighting all the time, things are getting pretty tense back at the motor inn. You know Kenny's been talking about taking off if he can get that RV running.

Lee: He's got a wife and son to look out for.

Mark: And they're safest in a big group. Going out on his own will get them all killed. Can't blame him, though... Did you hear Larry going off on him last night? What's the old guy's deal, anyway? Seems like he's got a problem with you in particular.

A bird caws and flies.

Lee: Larry's just looking out for his daughter.

Mark: Hey, I know Lilly. She can take care of herself. He needs to take that energy and put it towards finding us some more food. And I know Lilly thinks he's getting weaker, but the guy's all muscle! He's a walking piledriver! I know I wouldn't want to be stuck in a room with him! And didn't he punch you in the face one time?

Lee: Knocked me flat.

The bird flies into a tree. Lee and Mark duck down behind a rock, with the latter ready to shoot it.

Lee: Don't. Gunshot'll bring walkers. One bird's not worth it.

Mark: Yeah, I know... I'm just...really frickin' hungry.

Mark lowers his rifle. They hear a far off scream, and the bird flies away.

Mark: Shit, was that Kenny?!

Lee: I don't know! Come on!

They run toward the scream for a while, then they stop once they can't find its location. They hear the scream again, and Lee and Mark head in that direction. They find a teacher  stuck in a bear trap and two college students trying to get him out.

Mark: Jesus Christ.

The teenagers turn around.

Travis: Oh, shit! No, no, please don't kill us! We just want to help our teacher! We'll leave, I swear!
