3 Months Later

Y/N's Pov

It's been 3 months now since we first started living in the Motor Inn hoping to hopefully last this thing out. To be honest in my opinion I don't think this is gonna end anytime soon, so I don't know about everybody else, but I am going to start getting used to it. I already like the fact I don't have to go to school anymore. No longer will my parents treat me like nothing and actually be appreiciated for once. I am currently out on a hunting trip with Lee and this guy we found around our first week in the Motor Inn. We allowed him to stay because he had enough food for everyone, but we only have scraps of it left now.
I managed to snag 4 rabbits, 3 squirrels and 2 birds. It's not much, but it might be able to squeeze in for at least everyone to have something tonight.

Lee's Pov

I just killed a walker eating what looked liked a rabbit. Y/N was currently with me since he insisted that he wanted to come with, so I took him with me while Mark is with Kenny.

Y/N: Damnit. What did they get this time.

Lee: Ehh, looks like a rabbit.

Y/N: Well, that's another meal lost. I can't believe all the food Mark brought us went by so fast. It looked liked he had a whole shit ton of food,

Lee: Maybe he shouldn't have opened the door.

Y/N: Trust me Lee he doesen't regret it one bit deciding to stay with us or else he'd probably BE FOOD by now.

Lee: Yea your right.

Y/N: Do you know how much food we have left.

Lee: Not enough. Acorrding to Lilly we have reached the last of our rescorces.

Y/N: Well its a good thing a caught these few critters then.

Lee: Yea it sure is. Where did you learn to hunt? You seem to be taught extreamly well.

Y/N: I was taught by the only family who actually ever cared about me, supported me, and was always there to listen when I needed him. My uncle Tromane. He taught me everything there is needed to know to hunt and to live in the wild to some extent. He didn't know everything, but he knew enough, so I can survive out here.

Lee: It's a good thing for all of us cause now everybody will be able to have something tonight.

Y/N: Just remind me before we get back to the Motor Inn to grab some logs and sticks for the fire.

Lee: You got it Y/N. Come on lets go find Mark and Kenny see if they had any luck finding anything.

We walk for another 5 minutes until we hear a scream from another part of the woods, so me and Y/N followed the screams hoping it wasent Mark or Kenny. We come to findd 3 people, 2 of which are still very young, but not Y/N young. Then there was an older man that had his ankle caught in a bear trap.

Y/N: Jesus Christ.

Young Adult 1: Oh shit no, no, please don't hurt us, well leave once he is free I sware.

Kenny: Lee, Y/N you guys ok?

Young Adult 2: Travis maybe they can help

Travis: These may be the same guys who raided our camp and we almost died that time.

Y/N: Who the hell are you guys talking about?

Kenny: Why the fuck is there a bear trap out here?

Lee: Everyone calm down we gotta get him out.

Y/N: Uhhhh Lee.

Lee: What is it Y/N?

Y/N: There is no release latch on this trap. It's been tampered with somehow. There is no way your taking this trap off. You gotta cut off his leg unless you have an electric saw, or the hulk's strength to break the trap.

Lee: The kid knows more about this stuff then I do so I'll take his word for it.

Mark: Lemme see that bear trap.

Mark then looks at the trap to see if what Y/N said is true.

Mark: Holy shit kid you know your stuff. This trap has been altered.

Lee: Then I need to do this now befo-

We all then start hearing growls from the woods and soon enough we have a good handful of walkers on their way to us. I take the fire axe in my hands and hold it up.

Older Guy: NO NO NO TRY THE TRAP AGAIN PLEASE!!!!

I ignore him and bring the fire axe down on his leg, but it didn't go through his leg that much, so I am gonna have to chop at it a few times.

Y/N: I'll cover you Lee. Kenny take out the ones in the far back. Mark watch our backs in case anything sneaks up on us. Keep those walkers off of Lee. (Turns to the 2 young adults) Oh and don't feel too afraid to help out you know.

Y/N then starts taking out the walkers closests to us by kicking theirs knees or legs and then proceeds to stab then in the head with his hunting knife. Kenny snipes the walkers farthest from us while Mark watches our backs. In the last 3 months I have known Y/N is that he acts very well under pressure and isin't afraid to take the leader roll at times. He's a quick thinker that is light on his feet. A young kid, who already knows the basics of survival.

Y/N: How's that leg coming along Lee?

Lee: Mark has him, were leaving now. Oh, and don't forget to get some sticks and logs on the way back.

While everyone was leaving Travis wasent paying attention and ended up getting eaten by the walkers. We make it back to the Motor Inn and brought the guy missing his leg to Katjaa hoping she could help him, but Lilly and Larry werent too happy about it, which lead into another argument between Kenny and Lilly.

Lilly: LEE WHAT THE HELL YOU CANT BE BRINING MORE MOUTHS TO FEED!!!

Kenny:  Hey you wanna calm down for a fucking minute!?

Larry: HEY! Watch your mouth.

Lilly: No, I don't. We have to focus on our group right here right now.

Carley: Well hang on we haven't even talked to these people yet.

Doug: Yea you never know they could be very helpful for us.

Mark: Come on Lilly these are people that are trying to survive just like us. We got to stick together to survive.

Lilly: The only reason your here is because you had food enough for all of us, but unfortunetley we only have a weeks worth left, and I don't suppose you guys are carrying groceries are you?

Young Adult: Uhh, No.

Y/N: Actually Lilly I am the one that's carrying the groceries. Again.

Y/N then shows off the 4 rabbits, 3 squirrels and 2 birds he caught while hunting.

Lilly: How is it possible that an 8 year old can hunt better then 3 grown ass adults?

Lee: He has had proper trainning on hunting. I don't about Mark or Kenny, but I don't know much about hunting.

Y/N: It doesen't matter. I got food, so everybody has something to eat tonight. So you don't have to worry about rationing the food Lilly.

Lilly: Thanks Y/N. It is much appreciated that you have done a lot for this group the last 3 months.

Y/N: Just doing what I can to help. Now if you guys will excuse me, it wasen't easy catching all of those critters, so I am gonna lay down for a moment.

Lillly: You deserve the rest Y/N.

Larry: I may not like you Y/N, but I do appreciate you looking out for all of us.

This shocked everyone especially Y/N since nobody thought it was capable to get Larry to thank anybody for amything besides Lilly.

Larry: Stop staring at me like that. I am going back to work on the wall. Call if you need me Lilly.

Lee: (Mind) What the fuck did I just hear Larry say? I think I may have gone deaf.

Y/N: Ok I am going to go lay down now (turns away) (Mind) What in the hell just happened?

Kenny: You know Lilly you like to think your leading this little group, but we can make our own goddamn decisions. This isin't you own personal dictatorship.

Carley: Oh come on your being dramatic. Everything is always a power strugle between you two. Me and Doug are not gonna be apart of that.

Lilly: Hey I didn't ask to lead this group. Everyone was happy enough with me distributing the food when there was enough, but now that it's running out SUDDENLY I'm a goddamn Nazi.

Lee: Kenny's right. We can make our own decisions weather you like it or not.

Lilly Really?

Kenny: You weren't there Y/N and Lee made a choice. End of story.

Lee: Once Katjaa patches that guy up you can send them away for all I care, but they at least deserve a fighting chance against the walkers. And for the record, Kenny wanted to leave those peole behind.

Lilly: If kenny would pull his head out of his ass for 5 seconds he'd realize I make these decisons to protect his family. We simply can't keep realying on Y/N to always come back with a good amount of hunting food to feed all of us.

Larry: Yea I don't see you doing anything helpful as much as that boy and my daughter. My girl's got more balls then all of you combined.

Y/N: YO LARRY!!

Everybody looks at Y/N from him suddenly yelling.

Y/N: I appreciate you acknoledging my usefullness, but I just got back home from a stressful hunting trip that also turned into a save people from walkers trip and I am trying to relax, so I am going to say this in the most respecful way that I can Larry. I got 4 words for you...

There was a moment of silence. He holds out four fingers and brings one finger down after another after saying each word.

Y/N: SHUT!  THE!  FUCK!  UP!

Lilly and Larry look at him shocked and I was shocked myself at what Y/N just said. There were a few laughs and giggles around though.

Lilly: Dad why don't you go help Mark with the wall.

Larry walks away extreamly pissed.

Lilly: Y/N was that really necessary? You couldn't have just said anything other then that?

Y/N: Oh boo hoo I am so sorry that whatever your dad feels is such a fragile feeling. While I am out there hunting. He needs to help out more no slacking.

Lilly: My dad does not slack.

Y/N: I ain't got time to talk right now. I am too tired for this shit.

Y/N then goes back on the couch to try and get some rest.

Lee: Lilly why don't you let me pass the food out today. I see it's been stressing you out latley, so let me do it for today.

Lilly: Thanks Lee, I really didn't want to do it today anyway. Food is over there in that backpack.

She points to a backpack near the fron't tire of the RV. I grab the food out of the bag to find those little packed up cracker sticks with cheese, and apple, and a piece of jerky. Some people are going to have to wait until all the animals Y/N caught for us are cooked to eat. I decide to feed the kids first. I gave Clementine the Apple, which she acepted very happily since apples are her favorite fruit. I have Duck on of the cheese and crackers packets and I gave Y/N the piece of Jerky since thats what he wanted.

Lee: Only one left, but I think I can wait until later to eat. I'll just give it to Carley.

Carley: What's up Lee.

Lee: Here eat something.

Carle: Me? How about you? You look like crap Lee. When's the last time you ate?

Lee: I'm ok.

Carley: I wan't you to have it in case you, Y/N, or Clementine starts feeling weak. You two saved me and Doug back at the drugstore, so we owe you this much.

Lee: You don't owe us anything Carley.

Katjaa: Ken! Lee! Come here please.

Kenny: He didn't make it did he?

Katjaa: He lost too much blood.

Kenny: Goddamnit. I'm getting sick of this shit!

Lee: Katjaa just let him go. This morning has been rough.

Katjaa: I tried, but he was never gonna make it.

Lee: Well at least he ain't out problem anymore.

Katjaa: What about the oth-

Out of nowhere the guy with the chooped off leg turned and grabbed Katjaa's face from behind.

Katjaa: AHHH!

Lee: Shit hold on Katjaa! Mark quickley the axe.

I start holding the walker off unitl Mark showed up with the axe, but missed and it got stuck on the truck. I fell off the truck and hold the walker off to where I had my fingers going into it's eyes, but then out of nowhere I see a kife appear out of it's head to see Y/N had stapped it with his hunting knife. He kicks the walker off and helps me up.

Y/N: You ok Lee? No bites?

Lee: No bites kiddo. Thanks to you.

Larry: WHY'D YOU TWO BRING HIM HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE ASSHOLES!!

Lilly: Dad calm down.

Larry: YOU TWO ARE GONNA GET US ALL KILLED!

Kenny: Why didn't you tell us he was bitten?!?!

Young Adult: WHAT!?

Kenny: He was bitten and you didn't say a goddamn word.

Young Adult: He wasen't

Kenny: What the hells your name kid?

Young Adult: It's Ben.

Kenny: Well Ben your not bitten friend here came back to life, AND TRIED TO KILL MY WIFE!!

Ben: What?! Wait you all don't know.

Y/N: What the hell you talking about.

Ben: It's not the bite that does it. You come back no matter how you die. If you don't destroy the brain that's just what happens. It's gonna happen to all of us.

Lee: Were all infected? Everyone?

Y/N: It makes sense considering there has been a good number of them and they only continue to increase. So you can die however you die, but as long as the brain is whole you still come back. That's just bizzare.

Ben: When I first saw it happen this girl named Jenny Pitcher died by taking a lot of pills and the after math was, oh good god thinking about it. Nobody found any bites on her once we fianlly finished all the dead ones and Jenny.

There was a moment of silence until we hear a bell go off. It was Doug's security system he made for the perimiter, as we see 2 men with gas cans come across our camp.

Mark: Holy shit Doug it actually worked.

Doug: Told you so.

Carley: Never doubted you for a second.

Doug blushes hearing this and quickly looks away.

Doug: Th- Thanks Carley.

Y/N: *Whispers* That's all your gonna say to her? Come on Doug show some backbone.

Doug: Maybe later right now we gotta deal with our "guests".

Carley and Kenny step up and point their guns at the 2 survivors.

Kenny: That's far enough.

Carley: State your buisness.

Male 1: Whoa! Relax where just out here looking for gas. Hey do you guys have any? Maybe we can work out a deal. You got any food?

Male 2: Cause if you don't we can give you food in exchange for gas. We got plenty at our Dairy farm.

Lilly: Lee why don't you and Mark check the place out and see if it's legit.

Carley: I am coming with you. I got your back if anything seems fishy.

Male 1: So what are yall thinking?

Y/N: Give us a minute to discuss this.

Larry: What is there to discuss their offering food for gas. I don't know about you, but that's a steal.

Y/N: How about you think for a second boomer. We don't know these people, they could be hiding something. Now I ain't saying we shouldn't at least check it out, but still keep our guard up in case it's too good to be true, or if it is true and they do have food, be aware of your surroundings and see if these people are trustworthy.

Lee: I am with Y/N on this one. He sounds like he knows what he's talking aboout and he has been a big help around here the last 3 months, so I say we go with his plan.

Kenny: As much as I would love to just feed my family, I gotta go with the kid as well. I don't wanna risk my family for food that might not even be real or any good.

Carley: Y/N's Idea is the only reasonable one out of everyone elses and nobody else even said anything yet.

Doug: That's Y/N for you. Always thinking ahead and always playing the smart route. It sometimes feels like he is even our leader always having the right things for us to do.

Y/N: I try. I owe it all to my uncle Tromane tho. He taught me everything I need to know to live on my own, and I just use it to help others.

Clementine: Well we all appreciate it Y/N.

Mark: Yea kid. Your something else.

Y/N: Hey so what do we call you two?

Male 1: I am Andy St. John and this is my brother Danny or Dan for short.

Y/N: Ok Andy and Danny. You two got yourselves a deal. Well give you some gas  to your Dairy and in exchange you give us some food to bring back. Well work things out from there.

Andy: Sounds fair. A couple gallons will tide us over for a while.

Y/N: So who else is going besides Lee, Mark, and Carley?

Lilly: I think you should go with them Y/N, since you would have a better clue on what to look for.

Lee: I agree.

Ben: Could I come too?

Y/N: How come?

Ben: I just wanna be useful. You guys saved me from out there, so I wanna help.

Y/N: Alright. I can admire that. So its me, Lee, Mark, Carley, and Ben? That's good enough. Everyone else stay here and wait until somone comes back to tell you what's going on.

Clementine: Please be careful Lee and Y/N.

Y/N: Don't worry Clem. We will have each other's backs.

Lee: Yea, it's gonna be alright Clem.

Clementine: Ok.

We then make our leave to the St. John Dairy. On the way there me and Carley talked about telling everybody about my past with the Senator. It came to my mind a few times, but I didn't know how people would take it. Larry already knows and, so do Carley, Y/N, and Clementine. If Larry knows then Lilly probably does too. Once we finshed that discussion Mark had called my name and then the St. John brothers proceed to ask questions about me, like where I am from and how many people we got like their studying if we can defend ourselves or not.

???: You think your gonna cut me outta this!?!?!

Andy: Shit get down.

???: Nobdy is trying to cut you outta anything.

???: You and Gary are always pulling off this bullshit. You knew we was hungry and you two kept it all to yourselves.

Danny: Fucking bandits.

Lee: Who?

Ben: Those are the ones who raided my camp.

Y/N: Everyone stay quiet. Let them speak their mind and hope they move on soon.

Then out of nowhere the 1 banit kicked the other banit stunning him long enough to get a shotgun shot to the face.

Banit: FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!

He continues to shoot his lifeless body with his shotgun, then eventually leaves him behind.

Bandit: Asshole!

Andy: The world out here has gone to shit.

Y/N: Ain't nothing new.

Andy: Come on lets get to the Dairy where it's safe.

Y/N: (Mind) Well see about that Andy.

We continue to walk to the Dairy until one of the brothers break the silence.

Danny: So Y/N is it? Where are you from and who taught you about survival.

Y/N's Pov

Danny asks that question and I didn't know if I should tell him or not, but then I thought it don't matter at this point anymore. It's not like he can do antyhing with that info anyway.

Y/N: I am from Yonkers New York and my uncle Tromane taught me about survival.

Andy: Well he taught you extreamly well. You handle that hunting kife of your pretty well.

Lee: Hey Y/N?

Y/N: What's cracking Lee?

Lee: You think you can do it now?

Y/N: What are you refering to Lee?

Lee: You know what I am on about Y/N?

Carley: Yea Y/N I was there too. You said you would do it for me next chance we got. Well now is a good a time as any.

Y/N: You guys really want me to do this right now.

Lee: You need all the practice you need right?

Y/N: Yea your right about that Lee.

Andy: What are you 3 on about?

Everyone else focus on us also interested about what the 3 where talking about.

Lee: Y/N here is going to freestyle for us.

Danny: Freestyle?

Y/N: I rap and I always wanted to do it professionally, but the apocolypse prevented that from ever happening. Alright I am gonna start now. Sorry if you don't understand what I am saying.

In the past 3 months I still kept up with my rap game. That dictionary I have been reading in the last 3 months have really been helping me make more music. I guess Eminem's method really did help him grow his rap game.

Y/N: I always name my songs before hand, so I am going to name this one...
