Y/N's Pov

Y/N: Heya Clem. How was the walk over here?

Clem: The walk was ok. Just the ocasional walker or 2 and that's it.

Y/N: That's good. Still missing your hat I see?

Clem: Yea I am still super upseat I lost it. That hat is the only thing I have of my dad left until we find him. Lee said he would help me find it tho.

She still believes her parents are alive after all this time, which I ain't saying it's a bad thing. It's the hope for her that keeps her going. If she was any older I don't know if she would still have that same hope.

Y/N: Well then it only makes sense that I start helping to look for it too right?

This brought a big smile to Clem's face that makes you feel warm. That smile. That adorable smile. I hope I always get to see that smile. Without it I would lose hope in this god forsaken world we now live in.

Clem: Thanks Y/N.

Y/N: Anytime Clem. How is the swing Clem?

Clem: Yea it's fun thanks for fixing it.

Y/N: Your welcome.

Clem: Will you and Lee push me on it?

Y/N: Of course me and Lee would love to push you on the swing. Hey Lee, Clem wants a turn at the swing now.

Lee: Hey Kenny do you mind if Clementine gets a turn?

Kenny: Ok Duck let Clementine have a try for a bit.

Duck: Ok.

Duck jumps off the swing and sits on the tree stump next to us as Lee starts to push Clem on the swing.

Lee: How you holding up Clementine?

Clem: I'm ok I guess. Are you ok?

Lee: Yea, I'm just a little worried about Mark.

Y/N: Me too. I was harsh on him earlier, so I hope to make it up to him.

Lee: You will Y/N once they get that arrow out.

Clem: Is Mark going to be ok?

Lee: He got lucky out there?

Y/N: No kidding. It could have ended up a lot worse.

Clem: Are you guys going after the ones who hurt Mark?

Lee: Well we have to make sure they don't hurt anyone else

Y/N: If any of them where to as much as touch a single fiber on you, BOOM there goes their hand.

Lee: Looks like you found yourself a prince charming Clementine.

Clem: *Giggles* He is far from charming.

Y/N: Oh now I know you tripping. What you been smoking, cause I would love to have whatever loud shit you got lit up over there.

Kenny and Lee look at me suprised at what I am saying while Clem and Duck look confused.

Duck: How do you smoke something that's loud.

Kenny: You'll know when your older.

Duck: But Y/N knows what it is.

Kenny: Because his parents where very irresponible and Y/N had to learn about life on his own since his dead beat parents weren't there to teach him right from wrong.

Y/N: He ain't wrong Duck. You better listen to the man. He knows what he be talking about sometimes.

Kenny: Damn straight.

Y/N: Speaking of which Clem and Duck why don't you two share the swing for a sec. I gotta talk with Lee and Kenny.

Clem: But Y/N you didn't push me on the swing yet.

Y/N: I promise I will push you on the swing before dinner ok?

Clem: Ok.

Me Lee and Kenny walk away from the two so we can have a manly conversation.

Kenny: What's this all about Y/N?

Y/N: Well first I gotta ask what do you think of the St. Johns?

Kenny: I'm not sure what to think of them yet. They seem like cool people, but that can change at any moment. I need more time to look around and see if their hiding anything sketchy.

Y/N: Just don't get yourself caught. Cause we may need to take over this place if we have to.

Kenny: My thoughts exactly.

Lee: You two are too much when your together.

Y/N: Ok well then what about you Lee? How do you feel about the St. Johns after what just happened?

Lee: What do you mean?

Y/N: Andy said he heard Mark yell thinking you were giving him the all clear right? Wrong, because see I was here and I didn't hear Mark yell at all. Also doesen't it seem just a little coincidental that these Bandits come out the second you guys are out there with the fence turned on?

Lee: Yea now that I think about it that does seem weird.

Kenny: So you think these people are untrustworthy?

Y/N: I had that thought the second we arrived here. These people are just giving me more reasons to why I should believe this whole place is a giant red flag.

Lee: Well regardless we need to deal with these bandits and these people are willing to help, so even if they can't be trusted lets at least play along to get rid of another threat.

Y/N: I agree with Lee.

Kenny: I second that.

Lee: I'm gonna go help Danny deal with these bandits.

Y/N: I'm coming with you.

Lee: Are you sure?

Y/N: Yea, besides somebody has gotta watch you clumsy ass, so you don't end up tripping to your death.

Lee: Oh hardy fucking har. Kenny you stay hear hold down the fort and look out for Clem will ya?

Kenny: You got it pal. You two stay safe out there.

Y/N: Will do.

Lee then continues to walk to the front of the house while I hold Kenny back for a quick second. I had a quick question for him.

Y/N: Kenny I acutally wanted to ask you something in private.

Kenny: Well go ahead kid. Shoot.

Y/N: What I said back at the swing to Clem. You know what I am talking about?

Kenny: ...

Y/N: Come on Kenny what's wrong. Cat got your tongue?

Kenny: I don't know what your talking about.

Y/N: Really Kenny? You answered Duck, so fast and defensivly you didn't need to say any of that extra shit about my parents. I could give two shits what you would call my parents because they were already dead to me long ago. So back to what I was saying. You know what I am talking about Kenny and I know you got some. You may think you can hide it, but you can't hide it from me. I had 2 parents that would party almost everyday and have done almost every drug known to mankind, so I know you got some and I am not asking for it now or anytime soon. Just save some for me when I am old enough if you can hold onto it for that long.

Kenny: Jesus nothing gets past you kid. Alright your right, I have been saving it for a friend back in Florida, but I don't think that's to likly to happen anymore, so I said fuck it and do what I can when I can.

Y/N: Can't wait for that stuff. I've read a lot about it and I don't understand why they would make it illegal. It's so fucking dumb. It's nothing like crack or heroin.

Kenny: Never understood that myself.

Lee: Alright Y/N you ready to head out.

Y/N: Yea lets go.

We were just about to walk out the gate but then Clem runs over to us as she sees us leaving.

Clem: Are you going now?

Y/N: Yes Clem well be back soon.

Clem: Please be lucky.

Lee: We will.

We then leave to find the bandit camp. We have been searching for a hot minute and we havent even found a trace of the camp until now when we discovered and empty can.

Danny: It's close. It's gotta be.

Y/N: I just hope we aren't going in circles.

Lee: Here.

Danny: Oh shit you found it?

He motions us to slowly approach the camp to not alert anyone and catch them off guard.

Danny: You see anybody?

Lee: Looks empty.

Y/N: Always stay on your guard.

Danny: Watch my back guys. I'm gonna check out the tent.

Lee gets his sniper ready while I hang behind Danny with my hunting knife at the ready. He goes to look inside the tent then tells us it's all clear.

Danny: This camp is too small it cant be their main base.

Y/N: Look around anyway there might be some useful stuff here for us to take back.

Danny: They probably stole some shit from us too.

Lee: Only one way to find out.

We all then start to look around the camp for anything we can take. Danny was looking in the tent while Lee was looking near the tent. I was looking over at the big table with a tarp covering over it and a bunch of boxes with a shopping cart that's from Save Lots. I look around the boxes and find something extraordinary.

Who would leave a perfectly good gun like this around. Oh I am so taking this. I might not be able to use it tho cause a Desert Eagle is a man's gun. It's extreamly powerful and the kickback with break my hands and fly away. I take the gun with the holster and strap it to my belt. It's really heavy and looks bulky as shit on me. Oh well. I'll grow eventually..... Hopefully.

Danny: What you got there.

Lee: A video camera.

Danny: Lemme see that.

Lee: Battery is dead tho.

Danny: Oh, good. What else do they got over here. Let's see if we can find anything else and get a move on.

I see Lee put the video camera away in his pocket. So I wasen't the only on who felt that suspicion.

Danny: I see you handle that gun I lent you pretty well. You a hunter?

Lee: Naw but Y/N is. He goes with us on hunting trips and always manages to pick up something for us to eat.

Danny: You must have been taught by expert then Y/N.

Y/N: The best hunter you will ever come across. He taught me everything I know and it shows that I got what it takes to survive out here on my own.

I then go to help Lee look inside the tent. There was something inside one of the sleeping bags, so I move it and it turned out to be Clementine's hat.

Y/N: THE HELL!?!

???: Don't you fucking move.

Danny: Shit!

???: Put your guns down! I ain't going back! You tell them Jolene ain't going back!

Danny: Hey we made a deal. No shooting as long as we gave you food. What the fuck happened.

Jolene: You made a deal with them! I ain't them! Oh I know you! I know what you are! And I know what you do!

Danny: You don't know me.

Jolene. You steal my shit. You steal everything from me.

Danny: We had a deal, you people broke it first.

Lee: Who the fuck are you?

Jolene: * Laughs manically*

Lee: It's not safe out here up in the woods. You gotta come back to the dairy.

Jolene: Oh It's a hell of a lot safer out here then down there you best believe. Now didn't you hear me when I asked you sweet... PUT YOUR DAMN GUNS DOWN!!! You think I won't kill you? I'm gonna take this here crossbow and shoot a nice sharp arrow right through your eyeball and into your goddamn brain. Your not men your monsters! All men are monsters. Think they can just take whatever they want then destory it all. Take a can of beans... Take a little girl it's all the fucking same to you.

I've heard enough of this woman. I use my hunting skills to help me sneak around her like a lion sneaking up on its prey. While they still talk I slowly walk up to her.

Lee: Where did you get this hat!?!

Jolene: The little girl.

Lee: You STOLE IT from her!!!

Jolene: So what if I did? You stole her from me?

Danny looks at Lee suspiciously. Lee shakes his head saying shes lying.

Lee: What the hell are you talking about?!?!

Jolene: You know what I changed my mind. I'm gonna shoot this arrow right through your balls. Yeah right through. String em up on that tree, then I am gonna go down to that farm and shoot every goddamn person I see!

Is she that dilusional that she thinks that Clem is her daughter. How long has she been out here and who left her like this. Probably the bandits doing. I'm sorry to have to kill her, but it needs to be done. I was just about to stab her, but then.

BANG

Lee beat me to it and shot the woman right in her forehead. A quick and clean shot. Better that then a knife to the throat. At least I didn't have to do it. I don't think I could handle it yet. Then why was I, so determined to do it tho? Was it because she had Clem's hat. Was it because I was afraid if she wen't anywhere near Clem without you knowing again and she takes her away? Am I a phsycopath? These questions were interrupted by Lee who was snaping his fingers at me.

Lee: Earth to Y/N you still with us buddy.

Y/N: Yea I'm good.

Danny: It's a clean shot tho right through the forehead. That's good shooting right there. Still... what a waste.

Lee: So that's it we going back.

Danny: If they ain't here then I don't know where they are.

Y/N: It wouldn't be smart to go all gung ho through the woods for them either.

Danny: So yeah we head back. Once they see this they'll get the message.

Danny then takes Jolene's crossbow as we then leave and head back to the Dairy.

Back at the Dairy

We made it back to the Dairy and I instantly went to Clementine who was over at the barn with Duck, Katjaa, Andy, and the cow.

Clem: Glad to see you back safe Y/N.

Y/N: I'll always come back to you. No matter what the case may be.

Clem: I don't know about that one Y/N.

Y/N: We will see Clem. Oh and by the way here you go.

I take out her hat and she gives the most adorable squeel I have ever heard. Even a bunny couldn't squeel as cute as her.

Clem: MY HAT YOU FOUND IT!!! I knew you or Lee would find it. You both said you would.

Y/N: I'll always be here for you whenever I can. Your my #1 priority now.

Clem blushes and quickly looks away while trying to hide her blush from me.

Clem: Th-Thanks Y/N.

Y/N: Anytime Clem. How's the cow?

Andy: Better now that we got doc on the case.

Duck: Hey Y/N you got anything to sing for us?

Katjaa: Duck I told you not to ask him.

Duck: But mom I haven't heard him sing in a while and it always brings people together when he does.

Katjaa: I know ducky, but Y/N might not wan't to right now Duck. He just came back from doing responsible things and might want some rest.

Y/N: It's quite alright Katjaa. I don't mind at all. Let's see here what do I have in my brain right now. Hmmmm......

You think about it for a good minute until you finally pick one out in your head.

Y/N: Aha I got it. This song I am about to sing you all is called.....

On and On by Cartoon, Daniel Levi

Hold me close 'til I get up

Time is barley on our side

I don't wanna waste what's left

The storms we chase are leading us

And love is all we'll ever trust, yeah

No, I don't wanna waste what's left

And on and on we'll go

Through the wastelands, through the highways

'Til my shadow turns to sun rays

And on and on we'll go

Through the wastelands through the highways

And on and on we'll go

Oh, on we'll go

Finding life along the way

Melodies we haven't played

No, I don't want no rest

Echoin' around these walls

Fighting to create a song (yeah)

I don't wanna miss a beat

And on and on we'll go

Through the wastelands, through the highways

'Til my shadow turns to sun rays

And on and on we'll go

Through the wastelands through the highways

And on and on we'll go

And we'll grow in number

Fueled by thunder, see the horizon

Turn us to thousands

And we'll grow in number

Fueled by thunder, see the horizon

Turn us to thousands

And on and on we'll go

Through the wastelands, through the highways

'Til my shadow turns to sun rays

And on and on we'll go

Through the wastelands through the highways

And on and on we'll go

I finish the song and I get a round of applause from everyone, even Lee who appears behind me.

Lee: Amazing as always Y/N.

Clem: Yea your voice is none like any other voice I have heard.

You then start to blush a bright red and Lee takes notice of this, but thankfully nobody else did as you look away in another direction.

Clem: Y/N?

Y/N: Sorry Clem thought I heard something.

Lee: Are you sure about that Y/N.

I then glare daggers at Lee as he has this smug look on his face. Does he know something I don't?

Y/N: Well anyway thank you very much Clementine. It means a lot to me that you like my singing voice.

Clem: I like your regular talking voice too.

Y/N: Don't hear that everyday.

Katjaa: What do you mean honey?

Y/N: My family wouldn't really talk to me unless it was about something they thaught was quote on quote "important" or when they wanted to punish me or no good reason.

Duck: That's not cool at all. Your a cool dude Y/N. I don't see how anyone doesen't like you.

Y/N: Thanks Duck. Appreciate it, but that was just my luck. Always ending up with the assholes until this apocolyps where I found all of you, and I couldn't be anymore greatful to have you guys.

I get smiles from Clem, Duck, Katjaa, and Lee. Andy smiles too, but I could care less of what he thinks. As far as I am concerned these people are still not meant to be trusted. After everything was said a done I decided I wanted to be a little adventurous and go look around for anything that might tell me on what these people are hiding. I just know there hiding something from us and it isin't good. I always get this strange shaking feeling in my wrists when something isin't right. It's actually very usful when trying to sneak around or weather to trust someone or not. It's like my very own spidey sence.

Y/N: Alright the only place I have yet to check is the house. Let's see what else you got besides a whole stockpile of food in there. I should probably check on Mark if I can.

"If he is even alive" I thought to myself. I slowly make my way up to the house and peeked through their kitchen window. Everything seemed normal. The food looked normal, the ingredients looked normal, even the various liquds like water, lemonade, milk, and even the oil looked normal. Maybe there laced with something and I can't see it because they probably already dissolved whatever they put in it. Jesus I hate when I overthink. It makes the matter more stressful then it needs to be.

Y/N: I need to find a way inside the house, but how?

I then see Lee walk out the barn and is now speaking with Lilly and Larry. Can't really hear what their saying tho. Then all of a sudden the front door open and I quickly hid on the side of the hourse around the corner from me. Luckily Danny who walked out the house didin't notice me. I then finally thought of a plan to get into the house. I grabed a rock and went around on the other side of the house where I wanted to distract Lee and Brenda.

Y/N: Come on Lee any second now you have to be curoius at some point.

I have been waiting for a good 15 minutes waiting for Lee to go knock on the front door, so I can make my move.

Y/N: Any second now.

3 more minutes pass by and Lee finally walks up to the house. Now's my chance! I throw the rock inside of a metal barrel and it made a noise loud enough for both Lee and Brenda to hear it and they both decide to go investigate. I quickly make my way back around the other side of the house, so I can enter the house undetected. Danny was luckily distracted by the guns like dude. He looks like he's strocking it off on some weird shit. Anyway I finally make my way into the house and I mostly only see a hallway leading into 3 different rooms and the backyard which is blocked off by a bookshelf with some scratches on the floor. Probably why the bookshelf is there. A walker must have got in and they said nope, not again and blocked it off. Smart, but it could use more weight.

Y/N: Alright Saint John Family Dairy. What kind of secrets you got hiding in here?

I already cheked the kitchen and the bathroom is too small to look in and the other room is only a dining room, but I did check under the table and everywhere I could to see if there was a trap door or something in these rooms, but nothing. I then start to hear Brenda coming back so I quietly hid upstairs and went into another bedroom without even looking inside if it was clear. I then start to hear muffled groans. I turn around to see mark tied up with a piece of cloth around his mouth on a bed. I went and untied him and took the cloth off his mouth as he breaths a little fast looking extreamly relieved, but still very much worried.

Mark: H-ho-Holy shit. Thanks Y/N. Thought I was a gonner for a second there.

Y/N: Wait what do you mean by that Mark? What are these people hiding?

Mark: I am not to sure. They didn't just tell me. That would have been too easy.

Y/N: Good point.

Mark: Anyway after they got the arrow out of my shoulder and when Katjaa left, they just changed into completly different people. These people are playing some sort of facade. They are hiding something they really don't want us to know if it means killing us for it. I just don't understand why I am their first victim when I don't even know anything.

Y/N: There must be more to this then your letting on cause we still don't know what their true motives are. For now lets get you on outta here and back to the Motor Inn. If you stay here you will die.

Mark: But how Y/N: I can't defend myself with my shoulder still sore. Your only a 8 year old kid with only a combat kni-

Y/N: AND a Desert Eagle.

Mark: Still 8 years old remember. No matter how hard you try that gun will either fly out of your hands or they will be blown off.

Y/N: We can ask Lee to come with us?

Mark: What if the group needs of you here?

Y/N: Mark do you wanna die?

Mark: You can just hide me somwhere away from the Dairy with a weapon to defend myself with until you guys finally leave.

Y/N: Mark are you crazy. Who knows how long that will be.

Mark: It's the only way to not put everyone else at risk.

I open my mouth to object, but I don't say anything because I know he is right. I can't let Lee or myself leave everyone else here with these people. If they get into trouble then they will need us.

Y/N: Alright Mark. I'll take you a little ways down the road and hide you in a tree or something.

Mark: Thanks Y/N. I knew you where a smart kid.

Y/N: Hey I wanna say sorry about my little outburst in the beginning. I just really worry about the group and I just want them to be safe.

Mark: It's ok Y/N. I understand. I worry about the group sometimes too. Sometimes my brain only listens to my belly.

Y/N: Aye I don't blame you. Every time I would smell Fried Chicken I would be running through everybody like Happy Gilmore.

Me and Mark share a little laugh about this little moment between us. Mark has always been nice to me too like Lee, Clem, Duck, Kenny, Katjaa, Carley, Doug, and Lilly. LARRY, sometimes is nice, but most of the time a real jackass, who is a real piece of work let me tell ya.

Mark: Well let's get going before someone comes back to check on me.

Y/N: Our only option is through the window. Going through the front is suicide and the backway downstairs is blocked by a bookshelf.

Mark: I guess we ain't got no other choice.

Y/N: No. No we sure as shit don't.

We jumped out of the window luckily there were trash bags underneath us, so the fall wasen't that bad.

It was starting to get a little dark out, so the shadows were dark enough for me to use.

Y/N: Mark now listen just follow me and we will get out of here without being spotted.

Mark: Oka-

Before he even finishes that word I start moving through the place in the shadows as Mark follows behind me. We make out of the Dairy farm unseen as Andy was still in the Barn and Danny was called back into the house as we where leaving, so nobody had a clue what happened excpet for how Mark escaped. We walk along the woods for a bit before we conveniently find a little cabin big enough to fit a handful amount of people. How have we not seen this on the walk over here? Whatever it don't matter. All that matters is it's here now and we can use it for Mark to hold up in until all is done. I gave Mark my Desert Eagle with the strap, since he has a better chance of actually hitting something with it then me and have better control over it. One day I will be old enough to use it!

Y/N: ALright Mark just stay here until I come back with the group. Don't draw attention to yourself and I know it may be hard, but if your going to sleep make sure the place is secure and have an alarm or something if a person tries to sneak in.

Mark: I got it, I got it, just get back to the group before they start putting two and two together.

Y/N: Alright Mark. Stay safe.

Mark: You too Y/N.

We do a bro hug before I make my leave.

Y/N: Ok I gotta get back to the group before things start to go bad.

I head to the same direction I approcached the cabin from and continued on. While walking I hear a bird cawing really loud. It sounds like it's hurt. I following the cawing and my eyes widen when I see what bird I found.

I don't know for sure what bird it is, but both its legs were stuck in between 2 trees and they look like their broken. It's struggling to get out of the trees, so I try to help it out. I take off my black jacket around my waste (Yes you had it there this whole time I just forgot to say what you were wearing. I'll just continue to say them on the fly) and hold it in front of me just in case he gets scared and tries to defend himself. I only wanna help them. I could bring the bird to Katjaa and maybe she can help them.

Y/N: Alright bird I only wanna help you, so please make this easy for the both of us.

I reach out to grab the bird, but the birds caws louder and pecks at me.

Y/N: Goddamnit bird can you caw any louder. Why not bring every walker from across the states why don't you. Bring them all here at once.

It was like the bird understood what you were saying and continued to caw even louder then before.

Y/N: GODDAMN I WAS BEING SARCASTIC SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

But it was too late as walkers started to appear around us.

Y/N: Oh Craznocks. (If you know where this is from your a legend)

There was already 3 walkers coming toward us. It was now or never for this damn bird. If only I had a way to show the bird I only wanna help them.

Y/N: Aha! Alright fine then you don't want my help then I'll just leave you to them then.

I start to make my leave as the walkers get closer to the bird, and the bird starts to caw like crazy knowing that the walkers are dangerous, but still can't escape from the trees. I use this opportunity to sneak behind the walkers as their attention is now to the bird. 2 of them reach the tree, but cant completly reach the bird, but their finger tips are right there. I get behind the third one, kick him behind his knee so he falls to his knee and I then stab him in the head. As for the other two I just grabbed their cothing and pulled them down to the ground and quickly stab them in the forehead. When everything was said and done the bird had stopped cawing and they weren't moving as much.

Y/N: Now is my chance to take the bird without and struggle. I better hurry before more walkers show up.

I take the bird and continue on to the Dairy farm.

Lee's Pov

I have been looking around the farm figuring out a way to distract Andy and get him out the barn, so me and Kenny can see what they are hiding in that back room of their barn. I also noticed that Danny wasen't around. I did see he leave the house, but have no idea where he went afterwards. As long as he doesen't see what I am about to do then it's probably fine. I used a multitool I found in tools box and messed around with the generator. I took off the belt and then waited for Andy to come out to look at it.

Andy: Fucking Danny where'd he find this piece of shit. Oh, FUCKING thing threw a belt. Damnit oh, son of a... fuuuuuck. This will take forever.

With Andy now distracted I enter the barn and was about to start taking the screws off of the lock, but then a bell started going off letting everybody know its dinner time.

3rd Pov

Everybody including Y/N who was running up the Dairy drive heard the dinner bell go off as Y/N, Lee, Kenny, and Clem all had the same thought.

In Y/N's, Lee's, Kenny's, and Celm's mind: You have to be kidding. It's time already?

Ok I think I will end it here and finally finish this episode on the next chapter. Over 5,000+ words this time. I think I am finally getting the hang of this thing. I only need reads and criticism now to see if I am doing alright. Anyways see you guys on the next chapter. Peace out my homies.
