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

Chapter 12: A Dark Secret

Daryl, Lee and Danny return to the farm.

Danny: Man, that was a hell of a ride, huh?

Lee tosses his rifle to Danny.

Lee: Jesus, Danny.

Danny: What? You ain't gettin' soft on them, are ya? Not after what they did to your friend!

Brenda stands up from her seat on the porch stairs.

Brenda: You're back! What happened?

Danny: Handled it, Mama.

Danny walks off. Brenda sits down again and Lee approaches her.

Brenda: This isn't what Terry would've wanted...

Daryl: Who's Terry?

Brenda: My husband. Miss him every day.

Kenny and Lilly are arguing in front of the gazebo.

Lilly: Then screw it up for everybody then, why don't you?

Kenny: Oh, calm down, princess. I'll do it myself.

Kenny walks off and Lilly returns to the gazebo.

Lee: What's going on with them?

Brenda: Dunno. Squabblin', looks like. A lotta tension with y'all, huh?

Lee: They have different ideas about how we should run our group. If they don't find any common ground, this whole thing's gonna fall apart.

Brenda: Nah, it's just tough times. Everyone's hungry and people get a little stir-crazy when their tummy's empty. And, Lee, Daryl, don't worry your head about them bandits. I'm sorry you've seen more violence than I'd'a thought in your short time, but y'all are safe here. Don't worry.

Lee: Think I'll go have a look around.

Brenda: Don't wander too far. Dinner will be ready before you know it. And thank your friend Katjaa again for me. She and the kids are in the barn with the cow. That woman is a lifesaver!

Lee walks down the steps and Clem waves at him from the barn before closing the door. Lee examines her hat before putting it away again.

Lee goes up to Lilly.

Lilly: Hey, so what happened at the camp? Did you guys find any more of those guys that hurt Mark?

Lee: We found a woman in the woods. She was talking all crazy and had a crossbow...so Danny killed her.

Lilly: Holy shit. Was she one of those bandits?

Lee: I don't know. I think she was trying to tell me something, but then he just went off.

Lilly: I don't like this, Lee. I still say we should go back to the motor inn where we at least know what to expect.

Lee: What were you and Kenny arguing about when I came back from the camp?

Lilly: He's losing it, Lee. He comes over and starts talking about searching the barn and that these people are hiding something.

Larry: But you told him to mind his own goddamn business, right? We are guests here, and we don't need to be overstaying our welcome more than we already are.

Lilly: The way I see it, we need to just skip the dinner and get our food to-go. But I'm starting to think your friend over there has another agenda.

Lee and Daryl enters the barn, where Katjaa, Duck, Y/N, Clementine, and Andy gather nearby the cow.

Katjaa: It's okay, Clementine, you can pet her.

Clementine looks to Lee.

Lee: It's okay, go ahead.
