The girl - a clementine x male reader story

Chapter 62 - closing in

Sorry for the really long break I just needed to give myself a minute because I got really sick and had loads of work to do. When I sat down to write my mind just went blank so I just left it ages. I'll try and get back on schedule.

You wake up and feel a cool breeze coming in from the broken window. The days are getting colder.

You climb to your feet and stretch. You feel your back pop as you do so. This floor is not comfortable at all.

The wind is quite strong. You must have woken up early because Clem is still asleep. The boys should wake up soon.

You put your coat on and pick up your axe. You pick up your rifle and attach the silencer and strap it to your back. If you going out you may as well go hunting.

You grab a crayon and a piece of paper and write "gone hunting," on it incase your gone for a while so people don't worry. You place it on top of Clem's hat so she'll definitely see it.

you step out into the long halls and head to the exit. You go outside and feel the morning breeze on your face. You sigh.

You walk around for a moment to see if anyone else is up yet. You check the graveyard and see tenn laying flowers at Sophie and Minnie's grave. You pluck two out of the shrubbery next to you.

buttercups.

It reminds you of the dream. It sends a shiver down your spine. You shake it off and walk over and lay in down on their graves.

You step back and lay a hand on tenn's shoulder.

He smiles at you.

Tenn: thank you. Do you want to say anything?

You: sure.

You think of what to say.

You: I didn't know you both but you both seemed like kind, creative people. You were unique and we were lucky to have you both around while we could.

Tenn seems to have found it satisfactory and smiles at you. He walks away into the courtyard and you follow him. You sit across from him on one of the benches.

Tenn: we've had a lot of funerals but it doesn't get easier.

You: good. If it's still hurts to say goodbye it means your still have your humanity.

Tenn: have you had many funerals?

You: lots.

You mumble and fidget.

Tenn: sorry.

You: no it's ok.

Tenn: if you don't mind me asking, who were they?

You: well there was a lot in my old group. We did it differently. We would bury them but afterwards make a huge bonfire.

Tenn: why?

You: because there was always people on patrol around the mountain and the smoke off the bonfire would let them know someone had died. The first time I saw it happen was when a group of walkers attacked and we were all kids and a man saved us but died in the process. I saw a lot more after that. Some of them I was friends with and some of them I didn't know well at all. After we where attacked I lost my whole squad.

Tenn: who was in your squad?

You: two girls called Jade and Anna and 3 lads called Thomas, Alex and joe.

Tenn: how did they die?

You: they all died in the same day. Jade, tom and Alex were killed in a firefight. While on the run we met a kid called arvo. He knew Clem and had an argument with her. In the argument he shot his shotgun by accident and hit Anna in the neck. She died in my arms. Joe went to attack arvo and got his head blown clean off.
