Y/N was stirring awake when his mind suddenly clicked into gear- Clementine said she had heard voices!

He jumped up and looked around in the darkness before he heard Clementine desperately screaming for help. Y/N rushed outside, just in time to hear a gunshot, see Clementine fall and Arvo standing with Mike and Bonnie near the pick up with a rifle in his hands.

"Clem oh my God" Bonnie shrieked, rushing over towards her before she stopped dead, seeing Y/N with wide open eyes and a look of pure animalistic hatred growing on his face, eerily illuminated by the moonlight.

"Y/N, it was an accident I swea-"

Bonnie was cut off by Y/N pulling his gun, firing instantly into her face. The bullet entered through her eye and exploded out the back of her head as she fell to the floor, dead.

"Jesus Chr-" Mike yelled before he was cut off and screamed in pain, two shots ringing out as one quickly went through each of his kneecaps and he collapsed to the ground in agony.

Arvo was panicking as he backed up, attempting to reload the rifle he had just used to shoot Clementine. He back up in fear, whimpering "nyet nyet" to himself as Y/N stalked towards the Russian silently, white rage on the Dixon boy's face.

Y/N ripped the gun from Arvo's hand, throwing it to his left as he smashed his forehead into Arvo's nose. The Russian fell backwards to the floor as Y/N mounted him, turning his glock in his hand, gripping its chamber tight.

Y/N struck Arvo in the face with the butt of his gun. He struck again and again and again, pistol whipping the Russian who gargled through his broken face, his crushed cheekbones, his broken teeth.

Kenny and Jane rushed from the house, arriving to see the chaos. Clementine was face down in a pool of blood, Mike was trying to drag himself away, Y/N was roaring a guttural roar, Arvo's face destroyed beyond recognition as Y/N finally stopped swinging.

Kenny and Jane ran over to Clementine, turning her over and were quickly relieved- she had been shot in the collarbone area, but the bullet had gone right through.

"She's alive, Y/N. She's alive" Kenny yelled as he picked her up.

"Get AJ and the food in the car Jane, I'll get Clementine" Kenny said as he rushed to the car, starting the ignition and jumping in the backseat next to Clementine as he attempted to do first aid with the slim pickings they had left.

Y/N stood and passed Jane, walking towards Mike as he said coldly:

"I only need a minute."

"Y/N please, it was an accident. It was an accident- ahhh!"

Mike screamed as he was cut off, Y/N stomping hard on his lower back. Y/N pulled his knife from its scabbard on his leg, stabbing Mike's lower back, before slicing across his spine, instantly paralysing the lower half of Mike's body. He continued to scream in pain as Y/N got up and walked away, Mike's cried pain turned to absolute agony as a walker emerged from the forest, knelt down next to him and bit into his face, tearing a huge strip of flesh from Mike's lip up to his cheek.

Y/N walked towards the pickup as Jane stood at the passenger front side door with AJ in her arms, staring at Y/N with absolute terror on her face.

Y/N walked to the driver seat, and seeing Kenny in the back tending to Clementine, got in the driver's seat and, once Jane got into the car, drove away, leaving Mike's ear piercing screams on the night sky as more walker's appeared from the forest and tore him to pieces.

—~—

Clementine's eyes fluttered open as she saw Jane in a seat in front of her and heard her say "on the left. Slow down" and Y/N in the driver's seat snap "shut the fuck up!"

She was snapped to attention though by Kenny next to her exclaiming "she's awake. She's ok!"

"Ow, what happened?" Clementine asked as she sat and was aware of a pain in her left shoulder.

"Clem thank god" Y/N replied, Jane adding the same as Clementine noticed she was holding AJ.

"You passed out from the shock. You were shot by the Russian darlin'. Bonnie, Mike and the commie were trying to steal our food and the car" Kenny answered as Jane smiled, looking back.

"We couldn't find the bullet, must have gone straight through" Jane added.

"Where are-?"

"They're Dead Clementine. They're all dead" Y/N said coldly, Clementine noticing as she looked forward that his hands were caked in dry blood.

"Where are we?"

"Been driving north a couple of hours" Y/N replied. Kenny adding:

"We had to run the truck to keep you warm."

"How do you feel?" Kenny then asked as he felt Clem's forehead and was relieved there was no temperature.

"It hurts" Clementine replied as she pressed her shoulder.

"It'll burn a while, but you'll be fine" Jane smiled.

"I still can't believe it, I never thought they would leave a baby to die. Should have never thrown in with trash like that in the first place. Should have wiped them out when I took out the rest of the Howes cunts!" Y/N scowled as fury again grew on his face.

Jane looked at Y/N worriedly before adding:

"Now that Clem's awake we should talk about where we're going."

"We're heading north" Kenny added.

"What, to find Wellington?" Jane asked snarkily.

"You sure talk a lotta shit, but you got a better plan?" Y/N snapped from the driver's seat.

"We head south, back to How-"

"Are you stupid or just fucking ignorant? How many fucking times do I have to tell you that place was torched?!?" Y/N roared.

"Yeah, like I'm supposed to trust anything you say you fucking psycho!" Jane yelled back.

"Enough you two!" Kenny yelled from the backseat. Clementine though added:

"Wellington is out there Jane, we need to keep looking."

"Clementine you can't be falling for this" Jane said in shock. She was cut off by Y/N again:

"She made up her mind, Jane. Why don't you try letting her think for herself? Huh?"

"Why don't you?" Jane yelled, causing AJ to jump.

"The hell does that mean?"

"It means you do nothing but order Clementine around, get her to go with whatever stupid idea you've got. You lead her around like a pup-"

"FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING CUNT. I SHOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW AND BE DONE WITH IT!"

"YEAH COS THATS ALL YOU ARE A PSYCHO KILLER!"

"Both of you knock it off!" Kenny snapped at Y/N and Jane, barely being noticed as Y/N snapped at Jane again:

"I am done playing games with you Jane. If I am a psycho killer then you're in a lot of fucking danger right now."

"Go ahead and try it, see how far you get"

"Y/N the road!!!" Kenny yelled at Y/N too late as he hit a walker and the car began to skid and slide. Y/N regained control and came to a halt, fortuitously, as numerous cars blocked the road that they would have cannoned into.

"Fuck, is AJ ok? You ok Clem, Kenny?" Y/N asked worriedly as he stretched his neck from the whiplash of hitting the walker.

"Yes he's fine. Y/N I'm-"

"Hold up. Fuck!" Y/N said as he looked out the window at the cars.

"Drive around" Jane ordered.

"One of then might have diesel" Kenny added from the back.

"My thoughts exactly Ken. We're running on fumes. I'll go check it out with my crossbow, Kenny jump up in the front seat, I'll call you through when it's safe" Y/N replied, hopping out and disappearing into the blizzard before anyone could answer.

"Fuck" Kenny replied as he suddenly jumped out the car and into the front seat.

The trio sat in awkward silence for close to five minutes before Kenny turned to Clementine:

"Clem, jump in the seat here, I'm going looking for Y/N. Something ain't right."

He got out and closed the door, Clementine climbing through and into the driver's seat as Kenny disappeared into the blizzard as well.

"Fuck... Clem this is our chance" Jane said suddenly.

"Chance for what?" Clem asked in shock.

"Our chance to get away from him, forever, just turn around and drive away. Kenny will never leave Y/N and AJ, but we can-"

Jane was suddenly cut off by gunfire and walkers emerging through the cars, about twenty stumbling straight towards the car.

"It's snowing, why are they moving?" Clementine asked in fear.

"It must not be cold enough yet. Drive!" Jane ordered as she reached across and started the ignition.

"I don't know how to drive"

"See that big pedal on the floor? Press it" Jane added. Clem did so and the car shot out of control, smashing into walkers, cars and then running off the road and into a tree, totalling the car. Jane jumped out and yelled to Clementine "Clem run!" Before herself running off with AJ through the blizzard.

"Jane wait!" Clem yelled as she got out the car, fighting against the wind and chill and trying to run from lumbering walkers.

After a couple of minutes she made it to a truck stop and ran in, relieved to be out of the snow but worried about her friends and AJ.

A few moments later Y/N came in the doors on the opposite side of the diner, rushing over to Clem in relief and hugging her.

"Clemmy are you ok? What are you doing here?"

"We got in a crash. Kenny came looking for you and Jane ran off with AJ."

"Jane has AJ?" Y/N asked panicked, knowing exactly what the bitch thought of the baby.

"Which way did she go?" Y/N asked in panic. Before Clementine could answer Jane walked through the doors Clementine had. She was alone.

"Where's AJ? WHERE THE FUCK IS
AJ?" Y/N roared.

Jane sobbed "he... he..." and looked backwards.

"What are you saying? What are you saying?" Y/N asked as he bolted out the doors, looking around in a panic.

"No. Not again. Not again" Clementine began to sob before Jane grabbed her, having turned on a dial.

"Clem, look at me. No matter what happens, just stay out of it" Jane said as she looked fearfully towards where Y/N had exited.

"Stay our of what? What did you do to AJ?" Clem cried.

"I'm gonna show you exactly what he is" Jane said as she stood and faced where Y/N had walked out. Clementine stepped back, her arms wrapped around herself as she cried.

Y/N stormed back into the truckstop with a look on his face. That look. Someone was about to die.

"HOW COULD YOU KILL A FUCKING CHILD?" Y/N roared, swinging for Jane's head with a punch that would have shattered her jaw had it connected. It missed as Jane dodged back around and pulled her hunting knife from her belt.

"I didn't kill him. It was an accident!"

"Accident my ass. Throw him to the walkers to get away did you? I'm gonna rip you to FUCKING pieces!" Y/N roared as he charged Jane again, dodging as she slashed across his midsection with her knife, throwing a punch that connected, dislodging several teeth as Jane bled profusely from the mouth.

Clem stood and watched, her arms wrapped around herself, crying in grief for the baby she loved like her own child.

Y/N tackled Jane out of the door, the pair landing on the ground, Jane's knife skittling out of her hand as Y/N mounted her quickly, smashing lefts and rights down onto her face.

"FUCKING BABYKILLER!!!" Y/N roared, grabbing the knife and pushing it down towards Jane's chest.

Clementine had stood speechless, just watching, as Jane slurred through a now toothless mouth:

"Clem help me. Shoot him. Please" as she struggled with all her might to hold back Y/N's fury.

"You think I would choose you over him?" Clementine asked as she stared at Jane with distain.

A look of shock grew on Jane's face, only momentarily, as the knife was plunged deep into her chest. Jane screaming in agony before it was withdrawn and smashed downwards through her eye, killing her instantly.

Y/N fell to the side, sitting and puffing out of breath as he sobbed:

"He's gone, Clemmy. He's gone."

Clementine was on Y/N in a moment, hugging him tight as the two sat in the embrace and hugged, tearfully mourning their child before stopping. They looked at each other, both hearing a baby cry at the same time.

Kenny suddenly appeared through the blizzard, a tiny bundle in his arms, asking shocked, but happy to see the kids:

"Y/N, Clem, what's the hell is going on? Why was-"

He stopped as he saw Jane's corpse and asked again:

"What fuck happened?"

"AJ!!!" Y/N and Clementine yelled at the same time, rushing over to Kenny in sheer delight.

—~—

The four had retreated to the truckstop building, out of the biting cold, as Kenny attempted to make a crude fire pit and Clem sat nursing AJ, Y/N next to her with his arm around her shoulder.

"So as I was wandering lost trying to find my way back I heard a baby crying from the back seat of a car. After that I followed the yelling" Kenny explained as he broke wooden chairs apart.

"She told us she had killed him. That's why I fought her. I killed her" Y/N said worried if Clem would-

"She told me that she was going to show me what you were, when you ran out to look for him, Y/N. She knew what she was doing. She wanted the fight. You did nothing wrong" Clementine said firmly, instantly reassuring her best friend.

"She was nuts, kids. A deeply disturbed person that was looking out for herself. She never wanted AJ. She only seemed to want you Clem" Kenny added as he got the fire started.

"As if I would ever choose anyone over my family" Clementine replied firmly, her and Kenny both smiling as Y/N's face pushed into the side of her head lovingly, his eyes closed as he struggled to understand the emotions going on inside him.

"We'll warm up then me and Y/N will find the car and the bags. We'll see what we can ransack from this place and the cars out there, rest overnight and head out tomorrow, find Wellington. Sound like a plan?" Kenny asked, receiving two happy nods back.
