In Too Deep: A Walking Dead Clementine x Male Reader

Part 12: Rough Night

My eyes jolt open and I look around the room I'm in. I look down at my arms and see that I strapped to a chair. There's no way I'm escaping this.

I dark figure walks out from the shadows. I can't see his face, but I can see what he's holding. In his hand is my knife and my fathers watch. "Time for your judgement Y/N."

He walks behind me and begins to speak directly into my ear. His voice is almost like a growl, like he isn't human anymore. "We already know you will be punished, but what for you may be wondering. How does being the cause of everyone you cared for dying?"

My eyes begin to tear up, and I yell at this man. "Shut up! I did all I could! I never wanted anything like that to happen to them!"

The man grabs my shoulder, and I feel the temperature on his skin. He's ice cold. "Let's see what they think about that huh?"

Out from the shadows come my parents and the Wayne's, but they're all just walking corpses now. Then, everyone from the school comes out, and they're just like them.

I look and see a walker Aj and Clem. I'm sobbing now barely able to say anything. "No....please this can't be true."

Clem speaks up, and she sounds full of anger and rage. "It is true. You got us all killed just like everyone before, but we won't let you kill anyone else!"

They all start to walk towards me and laugh. All my friends and family coming to stop me from ruining anymore lives. No matter what I say, this ends with my death. "I'm sorry! Please, no NO NO NOOOOO!"
———————————————————————————
I sit up in my bed wide awake. Sweat dripping down my face, my covers off the bed, and my cds in the ground. A clear sign that my sleeping habits are getting out of hand.

I check the time and see it'll be a while until daylight. I then hear a voice in the pipes. It sounds like someone's calling for help.

I put my clothes on, grab my knife and gun, and leave my room. The noise soon starts to die down, so I quickly follow it to the source. The pipes end up leading to a locked door to the basement, but I think there's another entrance outside.

As soon as I step out, I see everyone gathered around Marlon and Aj. What the hell is going on? "Where's Clem Marlon!! What did you do to her?"

I realize now who was crying for help and run to the cellar door. The door is still locked, so I open the door with my knife and I see Clem struggling with a dead Brody. I rush down to her with my knife in hand.

I grab Brody by the shoulder and slide the knife into her head. Clem is a little bloody, but I think it's all of Brody's thankfully.

Before I can ask Clem anything she gets up and grabs me. She wraps her arm around me and holds her head against my chest to fight back the tears. "Thank you Y/N. I...Marlon killed her and then I had to..."

I try to calm her down by rubbing her shoulder and whispering to her. "It's okay Clem, I got you. Everything's fine now."

She pulls away from me and looks me in the eyes. "No not yet. We need to get Marlon."

We both walk outside to the group and hear Marlon starting to tell lies about what happen to Brody and Clem. Clem walks forward into the group. "Why don't you get your story straight Marlon!"

Marlon looks at Clem and so does Aj. In what seems like a second, Marlon is able to take the gun from Aj. "You need to pay for what you did Clem! You're a murderer!"

"You got Brody's blood on yourself too! You killed her after she told me what really happened to Sophie and Minnie!"

Violets eyes turn to Clem and starts to zone out. "What...what happen to them?"

"Marlon gave them up! Gave them to raiders to save his own skin!"

Marlon starts to shake and breath heavy. He's waving Aj's gun around and things are getting dangerous. "I would do anything to protect you all, and what happened needed to happen if we-"

Tenn interrupts him before he can finish. "You sold my sisters? I thought we were a family Marlon! You lied to me! Why would you do that!"

Marlon frowns and lowers his guns "I had to Tenn! Believe me, I wanted to save them I really did. If I had to I would do it again"

Everyone starts to move in on Marlon and yell at him. It's almost hard to understand what's going on with everyone shouting, but Marlon waves the gun around and it quiets everyone. "I'm trying to protect you all! Everything I've done has been for your protection!"

Clem shakes her head speaks out. "Marlon Waving a gun around isn't gonna help anyone!"

Marlon turns to point the gun at her to shut her up. I walk over in front of her to make him move his aim. "Enough of this Marlon! Your people are scared and there's no getting out of this!"

Marlon frowns and begins to cry. He drops the gun and begins to speak. "I'm so sorry...I've failed you all. Just let me leave. Let me be a bad memory."

I turn to Clem and she walks forward. "No Marlon, you don't have to leave. You can-"

A gunshot goes off and Marlon falls to the ground. Blood splattered on Clem's face, and everyone else is in shock. Aj is standing there holding the gun, still aiming it at Marlons body.

He looks around and then turns to Clem and Me. "What? I aimed for the head..."
