Clementine x Male Reader: Enemy Within

Chapter 11

Zelus POV

You sit with the General in his office, drinking and talking. Much to your surprise, he's already intoxicated after a few drinks. You'd expect more from someone like him, but this is good. It only shows you, he's not capable. And it's all coming together.

You stand up from your seat and pour more whiskey into the general's glass.

Zelus: "What do you say, General? How 'bout we take a walk?"

General: "Sounds good."

Zelus: "Oh, and don't forget your glass."

You grin at him and wait by the door for him. He reaches the door and pats you on the back as you both exit. You hear him say something to the men before he starts walking with you.

General: "How about a tour of the place?"

You can already hear it. A couple of more sips and he'll probably start heavily slurring his words.

Zelus: "Let's take a trip outside. A bit of fresh air won't do no harm."

General: "Sure. Let me get my men-"

Zelus: "There's no need..."

You pull out your revolver and wave it around.

Zelus: "The two of us could take down an entire horde before they even smell us." You say as you maintain your evil smile.

He smiles back at you and pulls out his own pistol. A golden desert eagle with special engravings on the side of the barrel.

General: "That, we can."

He accompanies you as you walk towards the gate. He yells at his guard that he is heading out and does so.

You both talk as you lead him right into your trap. He trusts you now, that's his mistake. You stop walking and put your hand in front of him to stop him as well.

Zelus: "There's something wrong, General."

He looks around with a bit of worry burning in his eyes. You pull out your revolver and signal him to stay there.

Zelus: "I'll check it."

You move closer into the tree line while looking around. You see the bushes and smile to yourself. You step closer and you smell the whiskey mixed with the scent of a rotting corpse.

Once you reach the bush, you pull some of the branches out to make the bodies more visible.

Zelus: "General!"

You see him run over to you and stop once he sees you.

General: "What is it?"

Zelus: "Are these your men?"

He steps closer as you back up and inspects the bodies.

General: "They are! Who did this!?"

You bump into him and make him spill the whiskey over the bodies. You let out three shots from your revolver as well.

General: "What the hell is your problem?"

Zelus: "My apologies, General. I tripped."

General: "You made me spill my drink on them!"

You see him trying to wipe off some excess whiskey from his coat.

General: "Who would do this?"

Zelus: "You."

He turns to you, confused.

General: "What?"

Zelus: "It was you."
