THE LURKING DEAD

A New Day

It was morning.

"Lee, wake up." Clementine said nudging me.

I woke up. "Hey what's up" I asked

"I was awake and I heard these two guys talking" Clementine explained.

"Really? What did they say?"

"They sounded like they were cops. They sounded scared. "

"Okay well give me a minute and I'll have a look."

I put on my dirty shirt and pants. I was glad I decided to wear my long Jon's. There's many blood stains and mud on my shirt and pants. Clementine changed as well. I didn't look of course.

"Okay, are you ready?" I asked

"Yeah, are you?" She answered

"Yeah"

"Should I go with you?"

"Yeah you better. I don't want you to get into any trouble while I am gone."

"Okay Lee I'll go. I am just scared."

"Don't worry Clem, I'll protect you. If anyone or anything tries to hurt you, I'll make sure they stop." I said

"Okay, thanks Lee."

The both of us got out of the tree house. I went first because Clementine was still a little bit nervous.

"Ouch!" I said as I went down the ladder.

"Are you okay?" Clementine asked

"Yeah I'm fine. Its just my leg is killing me."

Slowly I made it to the ground. Clementine went down the ladder very quick.

" Do you still have that hammer?" I asked

"No, I think you left it in the house because of yesterday."

"Alright" I said "let's go get that hammer. Lets also look for some other weapons we can use to defend ourselves with."

"My daddy kept a crowbar in the garage." Clementine said.

"Great!" I said happily.

"Lets go get that hammer first. Then we will go to the garage. " I said

"Okay" Clem replied.

The both of us walked to the house. I opened the sliding door and noticed the dead zombie that I had killed the day before.

"Gross" Clementine said.

"Yeah I know. Do you see the hammer?"

"Yeah! It's on the dining table! Do you see it?" Clementine said proud of herself.

"Good job Clem!"

I walked over to the table and picked up the bloody hammer. The both of us went outside. I did my best to wipe the excess blood on the grass.

"Okay let's go get that crow bar" I said.

"Okay, follow me!"

I followed Clementine to the garage. The garage could hold only one car. It was just to the right of the house. We entered the garage. Clementine walked over to a tool box. She opened it and got a crowbar.

"Here Lee." She said giving me the crowbar.

"This will do prefect" I said, praising her.

I took the crowbar from Clementine. We walked outside.

"Okay Clem, are you ready to go?" I asked her.

"Yeah"

"Okay here's the plan. Ill go first. You follow me."

"Okay" she said.

I walked over to the fence that was in between the house and the garage. I unlatched it and went in the front yard. I waved at Clementine to follow me.

"Come on Clem!" I said in a soft tone.

She followed me. I observed the front yard and the street. There were many cars. Some were even on their sides.

"Keep an eye out for those monsters Clem."

"Okay. "

We walked quickly over to a near by car that was on it's side. I knelt down because I didn't want to be seen. Clementine didn't to kneel down because. She was short enough. Then I heard voices.

"Hey do you hear that?" I asked Clem.

"Yeah"

Just then my leg started to hurt real bad. I sprang up.

"Ouch!"

I saw two cops. Once I sprang up, they saw me.

"Hey! There's one of those things over there!" One cop said to the other.

"Lets go get it!" The other cop replied.
