The girl - a clementine x male reader story

Chapter 70 - laying snow

Just before we start I'd like to shout out KillerKloun145 who is writing a story called the hunters and I thinks it looks interesting and he's just started an d I know how hard it is to get noticed seen as though it took about a month to get 10 readers. I think you should go check it out and give it a read. Thanks.

You lay in the snow and slowly climb to your feet. You brush all the snow out your hair with your hands.

The snowflakes land all along the valley you appear to be stood in. You see a small frozen river that reflects the stars in the night sky like a mirror.

You look along to see a waterfall that has been frozen as well. Millions of little icicles run all the way to the bottom of the gorge pool, which has also frozen. It glimmers like a chandelier.

You see the tall willow trees that are abnormally large that stretch all across the land.

The moon seems a lot closer then usual with it taking up most the nights sky.

You begin walking along as you hear the fallen snow crunch under your boots. You see a large mountain range that covers the entire vast landscape.

You feel a sense of warmth even in the cold winds. The feeling of your true home. The winds cold stabs at your face with fierce intent. You feel every pour on your skin being penetrated. You squat down and put your hand in the snow which is soft.

You smell the ancient willow tree's timber releasing a smell that overpowers all of the others that are in the area. It fills your lungs and gives you a feeling of determination.

You hear the few robins that live in the area quietly chirping and you hear some wolves howl in the distance.

You taste the bitter air which makes your mouth feel dry and wet at the same time.

You spot and old grizzly bear lumbering across the thick ice into a small cavern carved out of the ice in the water fall. He spots you as you notice the number of scars covering him. He just appears to yawn and close his eyes slightly. He can't fight anymore. He looks like it too.

???: he reminds me of you.

You spin around quickly.

Lewis: big, strong but tired and battle scarred. Sounds like a perfect description of you.

You both hug each other as you feel your hands sink into the fur on his hood.

You pull back and you both smile.

You: why are you here?

Emily: living like you told him too.

You see her standing to your right. She's a lot shorter but taller than she used to be.

You hug her.

You pull back and they stand side by side and wrap an arm around each other.

You: I'm so sorry.

Lewis: about what?

You: you both deserved better. A lot better. If I could back and save either of you I would.

Emily: how many other people would have died if you weren't alive. That's what you need to think about. Every time you've saved a life or gave someone some food for the night. You've done more good then bad.

You: I wish I could see it like that. Where are you living then?

Lewis points at a small log cabin with lights in every window and smoke billowing out the chimney.

You: cozy. I want one.

Lewis laughs.

Lewis: to bad its mine.

You laugh.

Lewis: anyway the school is better for the kids than the mountains.

You: I know...

You say sadly.

Emily: they all need you. You can rest soon.

You: how soon is soon.

You joke.

Lewis: listen. I don't have much time. You're not the only one.

You: the only what?

Lewis: that's for you too figure out. You'll know when you see them.

You: what do you mean?

Emily: you'll know.

You: ok... so I guess you listened to me about living in the mountains with Emily.

Lewis: yep otherwise I wouldn't been here.

You: true.

Lewis: those people in that school will die without you. You need to protect them.

You: I'll try.

Emily: that's all we're asking.

You turn around a second.

You: so what do you ev-

You turn back to find no one.

You: don't leave me... please.

Lewis: we'd never leave you. Not on purpose at least.

You hear his voice but you can't see him. Soon the world begins fading to black and you are shuck awake.

AJ: come on we need to go.

You open your eyes so lay in the room with Clem wrapped round you.

You: ok we're coming buddy.
