Setting:

Season 4, Episode 4, an AU where AJ made a run for the school while Louis witnessed Clementine getting bitten and all the events that followed, with a slightly different, but devastating, ending.

Notes:

The first chapter of my book starts with a flashback, or maybe it's an illusion, who knows...

Expect the same vibes as the actual episode except increase the sadness factor by 5000000% because it's Clem and Louis instead of Clem and AJ ;((( The photos I used were found on Tumblr. Nothing sexual, some cussing and a fuck ton of sad shit, but otherwise it's generally the same plot as the actual episode in the game.








Clem was zoning in and out of consciousness, with her vision blurring and her body heating up rapidly. Her drowsy face was fixated on her left leg, which was split open and bitten into in the span of minutes. Despite her head throbbing, she builds up the strength to lift her head and look around the building she was in, confused at the sight of it.

She first sees Louis, the love of her disillusioned life, struggling to fight off walkers and close the barn doors. Surrounding them were pens full of the dead heads, however their movement was restricted because Louis blocked them off to protect his dying girlfriend.

The barn itself looked like your typical farmhouse, full of hay and room for animals. However, it was 8 years into the zombie apocalypse in West Virginia, so farm animals were more than scarce.

It was early morning as the pair, along with AJ and Tenn, fought off Minerva, Tenn's zombified sister, on a bridge through the night. Tenn wanted to make contact with his sister but Louis held him against his motives, knowing what would happen. With the fear of both of them getting bitten and ultimately dying, AJ made a decision to shoot Tenn in the neck, basically killing him and saving Louis from a slow and dreadful death. Clem trusted AJ to make hard calls earlier, and he delivered.

It was only moments later when AJ hopped a fence in hopes to clear a path for Clem and Louis, only to find out that he too, was surrounded by walkers. Clem told him to dart for Ericson's School for Troubled Youth, the place she and AJ now called home. AJ hesitantly obliged, leaving Clem and Louis to scramble for safety.

Seconds later, Clem and Louis were quickly climbing a rock face to get away from walkers, with Louis going first to help Clem. She lost her footing on her injured leg (thanks to Minerva), slipped and fell a few feet, and inevitably got bitten by a walker.

Louis reacted immediately and saved Clem from any further harm. They sat there taking in the realization of what just happened before moving onto the barn, running into more walkers along the way.
