3rd POV

Y/N and Clementine have been getting to know each other for at least an hour and it was a pleasent conversation for Y/N. Anything that you would bring up Clem was just really sweet and didn't think his way of life was dumb like his parents always would. Or anybody for that matter.

Y/N: So, what your telling me is that you would rather have a snake for a tongue then lobster claws for hands?

Clem: Lobster claws does sound cool and all, but how would you be able to do anything besides chop stuff up or maybe even break something you didnt mean to, or how would u be bale to put any upper body clothing on?

Y/N: You got a point there, it would just feel weird to be having a very thin and slithery tongue. Imagine talking and every time you say anything with the letter S in it. It might be used as either a way to scare someone or just make them feel weird about being around you.

Clem: I woulnd't mind that from you. It would be weird at first, but your a nice person, so it wont bother me.

Y/N: This actually reminds me of the time where I took at trip to Australia.

Clem: What was it like other there.

Y/N: Oh it was a magnificent place. I've always loved nature and the beauty it brings to this planet, that is of course until the people or even the government for that matter decide to build unnecessary buildings, so they could fill their pocekts with a pipe dream of paper that wouldn't mean anything if the world wasen't the way it was.

Clem: Yea I would be sad if I lost my tree house because someone wanted to chop it down and use it for selfish reasons. I'm with you about nature being beautiful and I would love to see more of nature too.

This conversation is one of the best ones Y/N's has ever had and he only just met this girl and there already having a cheery conversation with nobody being a smart ass, no yelling, no disagreements, just a normal, pleasent conversation that Y/N didnt want to end, until they hear a loud bang outside the tree house and from the woods.

Y/N: What on eath was that. Clem I think we should investigate just in case if it's someone who needs help.

Clem: Oh, ok I'm right behind you.

Y/N could tell that Clem didn't want to go, but at the same time she didn't wanna be left alone, so she decides to follow as they both climb over the fence.

Y/N: Ok put your foot right here in my hands and I'll boost you up.

Clem: Ok

They make their way over the fence and deeper into the forest. What felt like only 7 minutes they come across a figure that's laying down in front of what looks like to be a police car and another corpse with most of it's head gone and blood everywhere. This spooks Clementine and the figure calling out to them didn't make it any better

???: HELP!! GO GET SOMEONE!! THERE'S BEEN A SHOOTING!!

Clementine runs away. Groaning, slow-moving walkers emerge from the forest. Lee tries to run, but trips over the officer's body and falls. He gets up and limps away as he is chased. He climbs over a fence to escape, crawling backwards as the walkers pund on the fence. Shots are fired in the distance, and the walkers leave to chase the sound.

Lee gets up and looks around, noticing he is in the backyard of a house in a small neighborhood.

Lee: Hello? Anybody?

Lee then procedes to look around the backyard where he eventually comes across the tree house and calls out to it.

Lee: Anybody up there?

Y/N and Clem don't say anything since Y/N says not to say a sound due to his trust issues. Yes he did want to help, but that was before he say that a man was seen with a dead officer in the forest.

Y/N *Mind* He is a criminal of the law, so we gotta keep quiet until he leaves. Hopefully he doesen't come up.

Lee: Hello? Anybody in there?

Again they don't say anything hoping he gives up and walks away

Lee: I thought I saw a little girl and boy in the forest... Are you up there? I'm not one of those things.

This confuses Y/N at first. What did he mean by one of those things? He decides to not worry about it right now as he his probably making something up to get Y/N and Clem to come down.

Y/N: *Whispers* Just be quiet for a tad bit longer and he will be gone. If not and he comes up here I'll fend him off giving you the chance to run.

Clem: I'm not leaving without you.

Y/N: This isin't up for discussion, I promised you I would look after you, and that meant doing anything to make sure you safe and out of harm's way.

She looks like she want's to retaliate again, but decides not to and just nods her head.

Y/N: Alright then, all we can do is hope it wont come to that.

Lee: No ladder... I'm not getting up there anyway, this leg the way it is.

All of your worries flush away when you hear the stranger say that. It makes Clem feel so much better too now that she won't have to leave you.

You hear the stranger entering the house after banging on the glass door asking if anybody was home and that he needed help.

Lee: Coming in. Don't shoot, ok?

Lee notices furniture knocked over in the living room with blood on the kitchen floor and wall.

Lee: These people might need more help then I do.

After a while of searching the house Lee hears a phone beeping and decides to hear the 3 voice messages left on the phone. As he heard more and more a frown grows on his face as the last message plays hearing the sad and sobbing voice of a women named Diana telling what was possibly their child telling them to call the police.

All of a sudden Lee hears a voice from the kitchen and he goes to investigate.

Clem: Daddy?

Lee: Huh?

Y/N POV

Clem just all of a sudden spoke into her walki-talki while you were watching the stranger move around in the house. At first you wanted to tell her to not speak to him, but at the same time you were curious to see what the stranger would say. Your good at reading people, so you instead decided to listen on their conversation while still keeping a sharp eye on the stranger

He finally finds the walkie-talkie and speaks into it.

???: Hello?

Clem: You need to be quiet.

???: I'm not a monster.

Clem: Good.

Y/N: Don't believe everything he says right off that bat, we don't know for sure if he is even a good guy.

Clem: Ok

???: What's your name?

Clem: I'm Clementine, this is my house.

???: Hi Clementine, I'm Lee.

So now you know the stangers name was Lee or it could just be a fake name, but he didn't sound suspicous saying that name, so you decide to just go with it.

Clem: I'm also here wi-

You quickly cover her mouth and take her finger off of the button on the walkie-talkie automatically knowing what she was going to say. You didn't want the stranger knowing you were with her just in case anything happens you can catch him off guard if it comes to that.

Y/N: Don't tell him I'm here. He doesen't need to know that yet. If this guys happens to be dangerous I can catch him off guard, so just keep him thinking your by yourself.

Clem just nods her head and continues her conversation with Lee.

Lee: How old are you?

Clem: 8

Lee: And your all alone?

Clem: Yes. I don't know where anybody is. How old are you.

Lee: I'm uh... 37.

Clem: Ok.

Timeskip to where Lee gets jumped by the babysitter

All of a sudden Clementine screams into the walkie-talkie, as I see someone else in the house attacking Lee trying to take a bite out of him, just like that other random guy at your house.

You take this time to grab your combat knife and climb down the tree house to give Lee assistance.

By the time you have reached the glass door, Lee had just pushed the women on top of him off then out of instinct you threw yourself onto the women and stabbed her in the shoulder with your combat knife expecting her to wince in pain, but instead she keeps growling and comtinues to try and bite you.

Y/N: What the hell?!?! Doesn't that hurt?

She doesent respond and proceeds to overpower you. Your still just an 8 year old with not much exercise under your belt.

Lee then comes over and takes the women off of you. Then out of nowhere without even thinking you just take the knife and stab it through her head.

The women finally falls to the ground once you take the knife out and drop it to the ground with your hands in your face as you proceed to break down thinking about what you just did.

Y/N: I just killed someone...  I'm a murderer. I'm going to go to jail for god knows how long. Oh god I think I'm gonna be sick.

Lee: I think something else killed her. Before you, I think.

*You will remember that*

Y/N: What do you mean. She was still walking and moving right?

Lee: Yes, but she didn't seem normal. I've seen a bunch of them like her in the woods, but their bodies where already way more decayed then hers.

As he says this you notice a giant gaping hole in her stomach with some of her intestines hanging out of it. You were, so focused on helping Lee you didn't even notice that.

Maybe he is right. Ain't no way in hell a person could be up alive and breathing with a hole like that in their stomach. You feel a little better, but the goosebumbs and dizziness haven't gone away.

Lee: You two have been all by yourselves through this?

Clem: Yea I want my parents to come home now.

Lee looks nervous about that statement, but still gets his words out.

Lee: I think that might be a little while, you know?

Clem: Oh.

Lee: Look, I don't know what happened. But I'll look after both of you until then.

You were skeptical about this at first, but you didn't know what else to do, since he already knows your with her and he doesn't seem too bad, I mean he did save your life when he could have just taken Clementine and leave you for dead, but he didn't, so he can't be that bad. You still keep on your toes and your eyes peeled just in case it's all an act.

Timeskip again to the farm cause this chapter is already long enough as is and I need to publish something. I hope you understand.

You have escaped the neighborhood from a bunch of people who acted like the other 2 who tried to bite you earlier. Your starting to think that they aren't people anymore. People don't just eat people, especially out in the open and human teeth don't bite through skin like knife through butter.

The three of you were in a barn on sleeping bags trying to get some sleep, but the events from earlier back at your house and Clem's house still runs through your head. You then step out the barn and sit on top of the tractor thats near a fence looking at the night sky with a full moon.

Y/N: Oh, uncle Tromane I really wish you were here right now. You would know what to say, or do. You have always helped me when nobody else did and I knew I could always count on you. I hope to find you one day. I love you uncle Tromane.

You respected your uncle more then anybody else in this world, so you never felt ashamed talking about him. Almost any chance you would get you would try to call him to see how he was doing, but you couldn't since your phone died on the way to the farm. It wouldn't have worked anyway. There was no service when you looked at your phone on the ride there.

You close your eyes for a few seconds and before you know it your having a flashback when you and your uncle would go camping in the woods for your entire spring break a year ago.

Flashback

Tromane: Alright son, now that we have all the firewood, lets light them up, so we can cook these brookies.

Y/N: You got it uncle Tromane.

Tromane: Except I want you to try and make the fire on your own. Use everything I taught you and you will have a decent fire in no time.

You then proceed to try and make a fire so you can cook the brookies you and your uncle caught from the river.

It was difficult at first but you were finally able to make the fire the same way your uncle taught you and he had the biggest smile on his face while patting your back.

Tromane: That's my boy. You did good although you did struggle at first, but you pushed through and made a nice fire for us to cook these delicous brookies. I've never been more proud of you my boy. Sooner or later the student might become the teacher by next year. I'm might have to start teaching you how to hunt first thing in the morning.

This made you really happy. The most happy you have been in a long time, since the last time you saw your uncle was a year ago. Your only able to see him a couple times a year, but you enjoy every moment of it like it was your last day on earth.

Y/N: Well I can't take all the credit. I had a great teacher. Oh, I almost forgot.

You go through your camping bag and take out a piece of paper where you have written a new rap song you were working on.

Y/N: Hey uncle do you wanna hear this new rap song I wrote.

Tromane: But of course son, spit your shit while these fish are cooking. I gotta keep an eye on them so they dont burn, but I am listening.

You then start to rap the new song you had written.

REMEMBER I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT IS USED THROUGHT THE BOOK!!!!

  On My Own by Zach Diamond

I finish the song and by the look of my uncle's face I'd say he's astonished by how it sounded

Tromane: I am astonished you made something like that so young, it's trully amazing how good your getting at this whole rapping thing.

Called it.

Y/N: Thanks uncle Tromane. I am very happy that you liked it. One day I hope to be one of the greats like eminem, snoop dog, juice wrld, xxxtentacion, NF, Oliver francis, Wiz Kalifa, etc.

Tromane: I have no doubt in my mind son that you will one day be up there. Just whatever you do, dont ever challenge eminem. He will destroy you and make your spit game look like childs play.

Y/N: Oh I for sure no better then to do that uncle Tromane. He is untouchable in diss game.

End of Flashback

Y/N: I should probably get some sleep for tomorrow cause I got a felling tomorrow is gonna be quite an eventful day.

I then proceed to head back to the barn to get some sleep when I thought I heard something move around the barn, so I get my knife ready, but when I reach the barn I don't see anything, but a sleeping Lee and Clem... Weird.

Y/N: I must be getting really paranoid.

Clem Pov

I heard Y/N's singing just now and I couldn't help, but smile while sneaking back to sleep. What an interesting boy. I hope to know more about him for years to come.

Yes yes yes I know, Hey Birchwood why the fuck is this chapter so long. I kinda lost track of typing and I just got too much into it. But I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless. If you want more long chapters like these to keep you entertained then let me know, but I will continue my writing how I want until I see more comments on it. I will make the next few chapters a little shorter tho cause this one was way longer then it needed to be.

Catch yall on the next chapter. Peace out my homies.
