TWD: The Bounty Hunter (Clementine X Male Reader Book 2)

Getaway-2

Marina: Does it hurt?

You: No.

You're in the back seat of the car with Marina. She's playing with your bionic arm. Clementine is driving the car, and Aj is in the passenger seat.

Marina: What happens if you hit someone?

You: It hurts them... A lot.

Marina: How do you move it?

You: The same way I move everything else. I think about it.

You close your hand around hers really fast. She jumps and then giggles when she realizes that everything is ok.

Marina: Can you take it off?

You: I don't know.

Marina: Will you?

You: No. I don't know how it works. If I take it off, I might not be able to get it back on.

Marina: Oh.

Clem: He wasn't as cool when he only had one arm.

You mock her silently to Marina. Mouthing the word 'blah' over and over as you open and close your hand. Marina covers her mouth and starts to quietly laugh.

Clem: I can see you.

You: Oh no. Really?

You say sarcastically.

Clem: He really wasn't.

You: She's crazy Marina, don't listen to her.

Aj: Could you stop... Whatever you're doing?

Clem: What?

Aj: You're being annoying.

Clem: How?

You can hear him sigh, but you can't see him on the other side of the seat in front of you. You mock him too. You make a mad face and dramatically sigh. Marina covers her mouth and laughs silently again.

Clem: We're here.

You look forward to see the familiar, massive gate. You're glad to be back, but also sad. You didn't do right by the people that lived here. Whether they think you did or not. If you had, they'd be alive... Don would get to meet Clementine, someone he heard all about.

Marina: Daddy.

You look down to her. She's clutching your arm and looking up at you. You can see tears welling up in her eyes and her bottom lip quivering slightly. You give her a reassuring smile as you wiggle your arm free and wrap it around her.

Clementine pulls the car into the Rest Stop and drives it to the small garage. She parks it outside and takes the keys out of the ignition. Aj hops out as soon as it stops running.

Clem turns around and looks at you.

Clem: Is she ok?

You: Give us a minute?

She nods and gets out of the car.

You: Are you going to be ok?

Marina: Y-yeah.

You smile and kiss the top of her head to calm her nerves a little bit.

You: You know what?

Marina: What?

You: We're going to have a really nice house. You'll even get your own room.

Marina: My own room?

You: Yeah. You'll have a room all to yourself.

Marina: Am I big enough?

You: Yeah you are.

She looks up at you and smiles as tears still fall down her face.

You: You know what we can do after that?

Marina: What?

You: We can go say bye to your Mommy and Daddy.

Marina: Where are you going?!

You can see her start to panic.

You: No where. Your old Mommy and Daddy.

Marina: They're gone.

You: I know.

Marina: Then how can I say good bye?

You: I'll show you.

Marina: Ok.

You: Now, do you think you can be a big girl until we get to our house?

She nods her head.

You: You gotta wipe your tears off your face first.

You grab the bottom of your jacket and use it as a rag, wiping her face until it's dry.

You: Ready?

Marina: Yes.

You: Alright.

You open the door and let her out. You climb out behind her and she grabs your hand when you stand up.

Violet: You know all about this place. Where do we live?

You're already being asked questions.

You: No, hi Y/N is everything ok?

You're only joking, but you quickly get into it.

You: There are homes from that building back. Everything in the front half are for anything else, really.

Louis: So we can choose any of those?

He points towards the houses.

You: Except for that one in the middle, back there. That's mine.

Louis: Why do you get first pick?

You: Because I lived here, and I have stuff in there.

Louis: Yeah that makes sense.

Clem: Alright, you guys fight it out then. We're going to go get settled in. We'll iron out everything later.

You: Are you ready to go see your new home, Marina?

She squeezes your hand and nods.
