《Clementine x Male reader season 1》Chapter 40: Crawford
Advertisement
3rd Pov.
It is nighttime when everyone but Omid gathers in the backyard. Christa loads her gun, Molly studies the map, Kenny searches the shed, and Y/n checks his Knife/1911.
Kenny: Check out what I found in the garage. Hatchet, hacksaw, some other tools. Might come in handy on this little break-in.
Lee: Nice.
Kenny: Can I talk to you a minute?
Lee: What's up?
Kenny: I took another look at the boat. She's a 30-footer.
Lee: So?
Kenny: So, we're gonna have a capacity problem.
Kenny:Boat that size ain't gonna hold more than five people, even with one of them a kid.
Lee: Me, you, Clem, Y/n, Carley, Christa, Omid, Ben, Molly...
Kenny: Assuming everyone makes it back alive, that's still a few too many, even if we cut Molly loose. Before this is over, we're gonna have to make a decision.
Lee: You're not serious.
Kenny: Look, I'm just saying, if we want the best chance of--
Vernon and Brie enter the backyard.
Kenny: Who the hell is this?
Vernon: This is Brie, she can help us.
Lee: Good, we're gonna need all the help we can get.
Brie: I was a student at the school where Crawford keeps their supplies. I know the layout.
Vernon: With her help we're in and out faster. Anyone got a problem with that?
Lee: I guess not.
Molly: Then what are we waiting for? Let's get moving.
The group starts to move out.
Lee: Hold up just a sec.
Lee turned to see Clem and Y/n holding hands.
Carley: You two ready?
Clem/(Y/n): Ready.
Vernon: Whoa, hold on a minute. You're not taking them with us. Did you not hear anything I said about the kind of place Crawford is? If you take them in there and they find them--
Lee: These kids are not just excess baggage. They've gotten us out of a tight spot more than once. They're coming. Deal with it.

Molly: Yeah, Y/n can take care of himself better than most adults.
Y/n smiles at Molly and she gives him a thumbs up.
Y/n: Plus, even if someone did find either of us, I'd protect Clem with my life!
Clem: I'd protect him Too!
Carley, Lee, and Molly smile at them.
Kenny: You heard them.
Kenny: Let's Move out.
Ben offers Lee a hatchet and he accepts it.
--
The group stands beneath a manhole cover in the sewers.
Vernon: This should be it. We're right underneath the center of Crawford, the old school should be directly above us.
Lee: Okay, people, this is it. Remember the plan. We stay quiet, we stay hidden, and we stay together. We find what we need and we get the hell out before anyone even knows we're there. Got it?
Carley nods and gives Lee a kiss.
Lee: And that part about staying close? That goes double for you two.
He said while looking at Y/n and Clem.
Lee removes the manhole cover.
Lee: Let's go.
Everyone gets out of the sewer and hides in the bushes near a building.
Vernon: Where is everybody? There should be guards patrolling.
Kenny: What, are you disappointed?
Vernon: It's just strange, is all.
Christa: I think I see one. Over there, by the door.
Lee: Okay, me, Y/n, and Kenny'll sneak up, try to take him out quiet. The rest of you wait for our signal and then follow us over. Everybody got it? Okay, Kenny/(Y/n), let's do this quiet. No shooting unless there's no other choice.
Kenny: Right behind you.
Y/n unsheathes his knife.
Y/n: Got ya.
As Y/n and Lee were about to leave they were stopped by Clem and Carley.
Carley gives Lee another kiss.
Carley: Be safe, both of you.
Lee: *Chuckles* Aren't I always?
Clem pulls Y/n into a hug and then lets go but still holds his hands.
Clem: Please be safe..

Y/n: I will.
Clem: Promise?
Y/n: Promise.
Then Lee, Kenny, and Y/n all go up onto the streets.
Lee then approaches the "Guard" that has its back turned to them.
Lee: Hey, how's it going? Do me a favor and put your hands up, nice and slow.
Then the "Guard" turns around and is actually a walker.
Lee: What the FUCK?
Before the walker could attack Lee, It gets a knife in the temple from Y/n.
Y/n: Lee, why is there a walker in here?!
Then before Lee could answer more start to appear.
Lee: Get inside, fast!
Y/n instead runs over to Clem to make sure she's safe and then they all head inside the school.
Lee closes the doors behind them. They run up the stairs and burst through a door into a hallway of lockers; Vernon and Brie close the doors.
Kenny: Fuck. Fuck! Do you think they saw us?
Lee: Your guess is as good as mine.
Clementine gets a little scared so Y/n pulls her into a hug and pats her back.
Y/n: Shh.. It's okay Clem.
They stop hugging and turn back to the group.
Christa: What the hell happened here? I thought this place was supposed to be secure!
Molly: What always happens, I guess. In the end, the dead always win.
Ben: Oh, man, we are so screwed...
Vernon: No, this is good.
Lee: Vernon's right. We can deal with walkers easier than armed guards.
Carley: I agree, it's way easier now.
Kenny: I also agree. So long as we don't let 'em box us in, we can still do this. The plan hasn't changed.
Ben: The plan hasn't changed? Every time walkers show up the plan changes! Do you even have any idea how many of them are out there?
Y/n: Shut your mouth and grow a pair, Clem's handling it better then you and she's a little girl.
Brie: Come on, I think I know which way to head.
Ben: I got a bad feeling about this.
The group walks down the hallway. Behind a boarded up door marked with an X, several zombies growl.
Molly: Just keep moving.
Y/n walks up to Molly while Clem's holding on to him and resting her head on his shoulder while he walks.
Molly: So how are you feeling, you know with the whole Crawford situation.
Y/n: It's not so bad, just like Kenny said as long as we don't let them box us in we're golden.
Molly: I gotta ask you though, why do you dislike Ben so much. Usually you're pretty nice to literally everybody.
Y/n: He's a coward and when one of the bells you rung made walkers appear we were trapped. It was Clem, Ben, and Myself we were surrounded but instead of helping me and Clem he bolted. Now if it was just me he abandoned I wouldn't have minded so much but he also left Clem which put her in danger and I can't forgive that.
Molly: Oh yeah, I wanted to say sorry for ringing the bells, I didn't see you down there on the streets...
Y/n: It's okay, you didn't see us so it's not like you could've know what you were doing but Ben did, so in my book he's nothing but a lowly coward.
Clem: He was just scared though..
Y/n: It's still unforgivable what he did and that isn't even the only thing he's done...
After Y/n finished his talk they arrived at the Classroom.
Lee opened the door cautiously.
Lee: Looks okay. Everybody in.
The group enters the abandoned classroom. Lee tries to open a door marked "Armory".
Lee: Figures.
Kenny: Looks like they were using this room as some kind of command center.
Carley: Okay, so now what? Where do we start looking?

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
