Clementine x Male Reader: Enemy Within

Chapter 31

1 Week Later

Clem POV

You can't believe it. They took over Sunset. They've been treating everyone like slaves, putting people to work every hour of the day. Carlos went to Harmony a week ago and hasn't come back. You honestly wouldn't have cared if you weren't in this situation right now.

You're being escorted by Mark to your house.

Flashback

Zelus: "Sit down."

You look behind and see the armed guards by the door. You comply and slowly sit down.

Zelus: "I won't keep you here because I know you have work to do."

Clem: [thoughts] "Fucker."

Zelus: "Where is Y/N?"

He crosses his arms as he waits for a response. You can't help but stare at him, he looks so identical to him. You honestly have no idea where Y/N is.

Clem: "I don't know."

You see his face scrunch up and he starts to pace around the room.

Zelus: "Are you intimidated? Is it the guards?"

You look back at them but say nothing. He motions for them to leave.

Zelus: "There. They're gone. You can speak now."

Clem: "I. Don't. Know."

He stares at you for a couple of seconds. He then throws the large desk to the side and pushes you towards the wall as he picks you up from your seat. You're surprised at how fast he moved.

Zelus: "Enough games, Clementine." He says as he pins you to the wall.

Clem: "I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

He chuckles before he slowly lets you go.

Zelus: "No, you wouldn't. I know you, Clementine. I also know the people you love and trust the most. I wonder..."

He turns his back to you and slowly walks away.

Zelus: "... if AJ knows...?"

Clem: "You stay the hell away from him!"

Zelus: "I know you love him, Clem. More than anything in the world. I know you'll do anything to protect those you love..." He says walking up to you.

He caresses your cheek.

Zelus: "Isn't that right?"

He firmly holds your arm and leans in. You move your head to the side and he kisses your cheek

Zelus: [chuckle] "That's fine..."

He lets go of you and walks backwards as you wipe your cheek.

Zelus: "You're a tough woman, Clementine. It's a shame Y/N is more interested in his beautiful side piece. Hell, maybe he's with her right now."

You grit your teeth. You know he's trying to piss you off.

Zelus: "Or he's probably off with another woman. You never know with that addict."

You don't get angry at Y/N, you get angry at him. You approach him and try to punch him but he's fast enough to dodge it. He turns you around and holds you from behind as he restrains your arms.

Zelus: "If you won't tell me, I'll just squeeze it out of someone else..." He says as he drags his hand down your side and towards your leg.

You headbutt him with the back of your head and he lets go of you. He checks his nose and sees a little blood on his hand. He tilts his head as he chuckles.

Zelus: "You got me there..."

He backhands you and sends you to the floor. You hear the door open and Mark enters while aiming his rifle as you hold your cheek. He sees you on the floor and slowly lowers his rifle.

Mark: "Everything good here, boss?"

Zelus: "Just dandy, Mark."

He wipes the blood off his nose.

Zelus: "Take her back to her house. She needs to rest up for her shift later on."

Mark grabs you by the arm and forces you to stand up. He then starts walking you towards the door.

Zelus: "Oh, one more thing..."

He stops and you look at Zelus.

Zelus: "Jason went to retrieve an army of Maulers. I'm sure you know what they do to beautiful women like you."

Clem: "Fuck you!"

Zelus: "If you don't want anything to happen to these people, I suggest you do what I ask. Inform your friends as well, same goes for them."

Mark drags you out of the room.

End Of Flashback

You watch as the people around you, who used to live life like it was paradise, now being treated like slaves.

Mark: "Keep walking." He says as he shoves you forward.

You continue being escorted until you reach the porch of your house.

Mark: "Go inside. And don't even think about coming out."

Clem: "Like you?"

Mark: [chuckle] "Oh, Clementine. You and Y/N were stupid to think you could keep me locked in a basement."

Clem: "It's where you belong, you one-eyed fuck."

Mark: [chuckle] "Tell that to your boyfriend. If you ever see him again. Now go!"

You glare at him as you go inside your house. Once you close the door, AJ runs up to you and hugs you. You hug him back as well. Louis walks into the living room and sees the bruise on your cheek.

Louis: "What happened to you?"

Clem: "It's nothing. Where's Violet?"

Louis: "They came for her, put her to work." He says as he looks down.

AJ: "Louis came up with a plan."

Clem: "A plan?"

Louis: "To get help."

Clem: "Help from who?"

He motions you to follow him into one of the rooms. He opens the drawer of a nightstand and pulls out a radio.

Clem: "How'd you get that?"

Louis: "They put me to work in the armory yesterday. I managed to steal one."

Clem: "Louis, that's great, but who are we gonna ask for help?"

Louis: "... Harmony?"

Clem: "Louis."

Louis: "I know they refused to help us before, but we need help, we can't keep living like slaves."

You sigh and cross your arms.

Louis: "I managed to talk to Joseph when he was finishing his shift yesterday. He told me the radio channel to contact Harmony."

Clem: "Well, let's do it."

Louis: "There's only one problem."

Clem: "What?"

Louis: "The battery is dead. We need to get a new one from the armory. I won't be working in the armory anymore so I can't get it."

Clem: "So how are we gonna get the battery?"

Louis: "I heard Mark talking to one of the guards. They're planning on putting you to work at the armory tomorrow."

Clem: [sigh] "Alright, I'll do it."
