The Walking Dead: The Final Season (Louis x Reader)

Chapter 9

You groan, and move your pillow out from under your head to on top of your face. "Five more min-- wait a second," You grumbled as you sat up, confused. You rubbed your eyes, and yawned. Now that you were fully awake, you looked around trying to figure out what woke you up in the first place. You heard two voices, clashing over each other, in an angry manner, coming through the pipes.

"What the...?" You muttered, as you stood up and walked over to your bedroom door. You slowly opened your door and took a step into the hall. You followed the voices by walking down the hall, until you turned a corner almost slamming into someone. "Sorry... Clem?" You said.

"Is there a cellar door outside?" Clem asked, glossing over the fact that you almost ran into her. "Oh! Yeah, is that where those voices are coming from?" You asked her and she nodded. "Let's go, then."

You lead Clem outside, to the cellar door. You inspected the door to find it locked. "Shit. It's locked." You said to Clem, and she grabs a brick that was laying on the ground. Seeing this, you step aside for her to smash the padlock. Standing right outside of the cellar, you recognized the voices to belong to Marlon and Brody. Clem finally smashes the lock and opens the door.

Clem looks at you and you nod as you two begin to walk down the steps, into the cellar. Now you knew for sure that the voices were Marlon and Brody, as they became more clear and coherent. "Damn it, Brody! We don't even know for sure it was them!"

"And he got away! How do we know he didn't follow them? You know he's not alone." What's that supposed to mean? You thought as you followed right behind Clem deeper into the cellar.

"Those bastards are back and it's only a matter of time before they find us. You know that!"

"I don't know shit, and neither do you. Damn it Brody, keep it together!"

"There you go again, getting so mad..."

"Well, what do you want me to do? You're making me mad!"

You and Clem make it to a shelf and stand behind it, with you on her right, just out of sight. You both look carefully and, sure enough, Marlon was standing there shining a flashlight in Brody's face. "Oh, we have to tell the others. About what you did." Brody shouted at Marlon. Suddenly Marlon shines the flashlight at the shelf, making you jump a little. "Who's there? Show yourself!" He shouted, and you and Clem look at each other. She holds up her hand signaling you to stay where you are, and you nod.

Clem steps out from behind the shelf, and Brody says. "Clem..." "What are you doing down here? In the dark?" Clem asked, and Marlon finally lowered the flashlight. "Brody and I were just talkin', go get some sleep. You deserve some shut-eye." He said, but Brody didn't look very happy. "Didn't exactly sound like a polite conversation. What're you fighting about?" Clem speculated.

"It's really none of your business. Go back to the dorm." Marlon said, trying to get rid of her. Clem doesn't leave, and Marlon glares at her, shining the flashlight back in her face. Shit. What is going on? What is Marlon hiding? You thought. Marlon tries to block Brody out of Clem's view, but Brody moves over and says. "The man you met at the station. We got history with him."

"Brody..." Marlon warned as he turned toward her. "Don't listen to her, Clem, she's acting crazy. She gets this way sometimes, you just gotta tune it out."

"Don't be afraid, Brody. Say what you have to say." Clem said as she walked towards Marlon, getting in his face, to which Marlon glared back at her. "What "history"?" Clem asked her as she turned and looked at Brody. Brody looks down for a second and then looks back up. "Marlon let him take the twins. Him and his people." "Damn it, Brody!"
