《Clementine x Male reader season 1》Chapter 50: The Attic
Advertisement
Y/N Pov.
We had just barely escaped death by going into the attic, which is pretty convenient if I must say so.
Ben: (offers gun) Here, um...I'm not good with these. You dropped it down there.
Kenny: That could've gone better.
Christa: Everyone okay?
Kenny: Lee's still bitten.
Carley: Shut up.
Y/n: Okay, let's get out of here and keep moving.
Kenny: Kid's right; we gotta keep moving. Think there's any chance we get Clem and catch up to those goddamn thieves?
Lee: I don't know. Maybe.
Omid: Well, we're not going out through this window. No latches, no roof access, and thirty feet straight down.
Kenny: Anyone have any ideas?
Omid: (looking at statue bust) I bet this guy would. He's got a resourceful air about him.
Christa: Knock it off.
Omid: (reading plaque on the bust) Dixon Kent the III, industrial--
Christa: OMID.
Omid: CHRISTA. I'm just trying to lighten the fucking tone.
Christa: We need SOLUTIONS, not stupid jokes. I'm sorry.
Kenny: So, no ideas, then.
Y/n: Well not at the moment but It'll come to us, we just gotta stay calm.
Lee: There's gotta be another way.
Carley: Check the floor for any other access, a vent, anything.
Kenny: Or we wait for the house to clear out and stick to the high ground
Y/n: That won't work, walkers don't need sleep, water, or food. They'll wait us out as long as they need unless they hear something or see something.
Carley: Hey... (puts hand on Lee's forehead) You're not looking great. And you're warm.
Y/n: I knew we shouldn't cut it off, we waited to long...
Lee: I'm okay, don't--
Before Lee could finish he was interrupted by the crackling of the radio.
Clem: Lee, Y/n, I'm okay, I'm where my parents--oh, no!
Christa: What did that mean?
Lee: She's at the hotel where her parents were staying;
Y/n: He hasn't moved her.
Kenny: Yet.
Christa: Yeah, yet.
Kenny: We need to start thinking about more than just Clementine when it comes to our...urgency.
Omid: What do you mean?
Kenny: How do we get out of here?
Carley: That's the whole point; we don't know.
Kenny: Okay, now your life depends on it. How do you get out of here?
Omid: I don't know. I don't get it.
Christa: I do.
Lee: Stop it. We can't panic.
Y/n: I swear as soon as I find that bastard who tricked Clem, he's gonna wish walkers had got'em!
Carley puts a hand on my shoulder and gives me a motherly look of assurance.
Carley: We'll get her back, don't worry.
Kenny: Do you think that worked?
Kenny said while looking at Lee's stump.
Lee: I...I don't know. I hope so.
Kenny: I think we need to have...an "adult" conversation about what happens if Lee takes another spill.
Omid: Hey, look...
Kenny: We could be looking at a Larry situation here.
Y/n: It won't come to that.
Christa: Who's Larry?
Kenny: It don't matter.
Omid: He looks fine to me...
Carley: I'm not going to lie, Lee's temperature is getting higher.
Lee: Okay, what do you wanna do?
Kenny: Just...talk about it.

Lee: Does that conversation end with me getting something dropped on my head?
Kenny: Now, HEY--
Christa: GUYS. I don't know what happened before Omid and I showed up, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it.
Kenny: Lee, I'm not advocating anything here... But how is this not a thing? We're all so worked up about Clementine that we're forgetting what the fuck happened to you!
Carley and I stepped in front of Lee.
Y/n: It'll be okay, we'll deal with it when the time comes but until then...
Carley: No one's touching Lee.
Lee: They're right, my arm is not the issue. I'm not the problem. The five hundred walkers in the house and no door in this room are the goddamn PROBLEM.
Kenny: Yeah, maybe at the moment...but who's to say when it becomes an issue? And at that point, there may not be any time left to deal with it!
Omid: This is getting out of hand...
Kenny: You're gonna listen to ME. We will get Clementine back, with or without you. Because I haven't given up EVERYTHING to die because we were stupid.
Lee: You're not touching me. Do you understand that? You know EXACTLY what to do if I turn and that's enough. Do you hear me?
Kenny: You might become one of them. Do you understand that? How can you be fucking calm about that?!
Lee picks up the bust and throws it at the wall.
Omid: You ruined that dude's face.
Christa: Shut up, sweetie. Look.
Kenny examines the hole in the wall and pulls out another chunk of the wall.
Kenny: It's corroded to hell.
Christa: What's on the other side of this wall, a thirty-foot drop?
Omid: No, this mansion butts up against the one next door.
Kenny: I'll be damned.
Christa: We're not lifers on Alcatraz here; we can't spend the next three months digging through a wall.
Carley: If the rest is as dilapidated as this, we might not have to. Let's see...
Lee smashes the wall with a coat rack, then inspects the damage.
Lee: This wall ain't shit.
Omid: Is this really possible...?
Kenny smashes the wall with a coat rack.
Kenny: Yeah. We can do this.
Lee: Okay.
Kenny: We'll work in shifts. Omid, Carley, Christa, and I. Lee, Y/n, you rest. We have to work fast.
Kenny continues breaking the wall with the coat rack.
Lee: I'm sorry.
Kenny: Me too. I get it. Go sit down.
Lee, Y/n, and Carley sit on one of the couches across from Christa and Omid. Ben was sitting on the floor in the corner.
Christa: I'm glad you told us when you got bitten, it would've been easy not to.
Lee: Yeah, well...
Christa: We probably would've let you go alone if you hadn't told us. Which would've been a mistake.
Omid: If I were you I would've been scared shitless.
Lee: If you were me you'd be a foot taller.
Omid: Hey!
Lee: And about fifty pounds heavier. You, uh, wouldn't get scared as much.
Omid: With your arm and my leg, I'll cripple fight you right here, buddy.
Lee: I've still got this one. I can put my right palm on your forehead and just let you swing away.

Omid: Ha, fine...you win, jerk.
Carley rests her head against Lee's shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her and I just sat beside him, thinking of the future.
Christa: It's so weird; I keep doing a double-take on your arm, expecting it to be there.
Lee: I'm hoping whatever's in their bite is gone too.
Christa: What do you think the odds are of that?
Lee: I don't know. I know everyone's wondering. Even if it just slows down the process, I'd be happy.
Carley: You don't mean that
Omid: So when we get this guy...what do you think?
Lee: We make sure he never takes anybody from anyone again. World's got enough evil in it.
Y/n: As I said, when I get my hands on that bastard who tricked Clem, he's gonna wish the dead had got'em.
Omid: And...you know...whatever happens to you...uh...
Carley: Seriously, can we not talk like that?
Carley said as she held on to Lee even tighter than before.
Christa: The entire time we were at the hospital I could sense you think you're as good as dead.
Lee: I was bitten, Christa.
Carley: You cut it off.
Lee: What good is it to plan around that workin'?
Carley: What good is it for you to give up?
Lee: I haven't given up.
Lee: I want you four to take her.
Lee said to Me, Carley, Omid, and Christa
Christa: Stop it.
Lee: I'm serious. She'd be safe and happy with you four.
Christa: We're not doing this right now.
Omid: Christa. Listen to him.
Lee: It's what I want. Okay?
Y/n: Well I'll never leave her side no matter what, as soon as we get her back.
Lee: *Smiles* I know kiddo
Omid: What about him?
Omid was talking about Ben
Lee: He'll figure himself out one way or another.
Christa: What do you mean by that?
Lee: He'll either get his act together or something will happen to him.
Christa: That's it?
Lee: What else is there to say?
Omid: He lose his shit like that often?
Carley: No, that was a first.
Christa: It's good that he did; Kenny couldn't pull that shit on me.
Lee: The kid killed his family, so there's been some tension there.
Omid: Really...? What happened?
Y/n: Kenny's son, Duck, got bitten during a raid by some gang that Ben was secretly helping. They used him. Kenny's wife...died because of their son.
Christa: Jesus...
Omid: Well, it seems like it got through to Kenny. Whatever that's good for.
Kenny approaches the group.
Kenny: Alright, I'm outta gas. You look good and rested.
Omid: Sure, if you don't count an infected leg.
Christa: You want me to do it?
Omid: Nah, hon, you can hop in after me.
Omid takes over smashing the wall with the coat rack, and Kenny takes his seat on the couch.
Kenny: Shouldn't be long now. It's good we're forced to take a breath.
Kenny: That, uhh...feelin' any better?
Kenny asked Lee about his arm.
Lee: I can handle it; the pain, that is. I'm just really goddamn tired.
Kenny: I mean, do you think it worked? Did it--did it help at all?
Lee: I feel like a man who got bitten. So take that for what it's worth.
Carley looked over at me and the others took notice.
Carley: How do you feel, hun?
The others looked at me.
Y/n: Well not good, I mean we're not even sure if this worked and I-I'm not gonna lie I'm scared. I know I'm tough but if it doesn't work than that means I may have to be the one to do the deed...again.
Lee put his hand on my head and it made me chuckle.
Lee: You're a lot tougher than me at your age, that's for sure.
Y/n: Yeah, well an apocalypse will do that to you.
Lee, myself, and the others laughed at what I said.
Y/n: God, if this is this tough on me than I don't even want to imagine how bad Clem's gonna take it...
Kenny: I still can't believe you went and got chomped. Just...fucking hell.
Christa: At least he told us.
Kenny: Took some brass. I don't think I woulda.
Kenny puts his head in his hand.
Christa: How are you?
Kenny: I'm...I don't know how to answer that.
Christa: I'm sorry. You've lost more than anyone. Well, as much as anyone.
Kenny: Lee's family's gone, too.
Y/n: Guess we all got the short end of the stick these days, huh?
Christa: Damn, right.
Lee: He wanted to die...in Crawford.
Kenny: What's that now?
Lee: When we had him there...in our hands. He wanted us to drop him. He asked us to.
Kenny: Ah, Jesus...
Lee: What?
Kenny: I'm glad it was you two making that call and not me.
Kenny leans down and takes a whiskey bottle out of a cardboard box nearby.
Kenny: These guys tell you much about what we been through?
Christa: Bits and pieces.
Kenny: Well, he can't fight for shit.
Christa: Well, look at him.
Lee: Hey!
I laughed at them going back and forth, it was a nice change of pace.
Kenny: Soft as rotten fruit.
Carley: Like you guys didn't have enough problems without punching each other in the face?
Kenny: Eh, he had to knock some sense into me before we met you on the train.
Lee: I'm sorry for hurting you in any way, Kenny. It's impossible to go through life without causing some sorta pain, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if I coulda caused a little less.
Kenny: You and me both, doc.
Kenny: Well, cheers.
Kenny takes a sip and offers the bottle to Lee.
He takes it and drinks a little.
Lee takes a sip and passes the bottle to Carley who has a sip before passing it back to Kenny.
Kenny offers the bottle to Christa. She hesitates for a while, then grabs the bottle and takes a drink.
Omid: I'm through.
Omid sets down the coat rack and looks through the medium-sized hole in the wall.
Omid: No walkers. Things are looking up.
Everyone goes through the wall and drops down into the adjacent mansion.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
