《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.

8 179Retiring as an Incompetent Queen
What happens when you transmigrate into a transmigration story? Another story unfolds. Once upon a time, there was a Queen. A Queen of a land that contained magic beneath the earth, a land where fantastical creatures used to live and roam. A Queen of a land established by four Heroes, may they rest in peace. A Queen who came from another world, far, far beyond the horizon. The Queen who was not Good, nor Evil, for she thought dwindling on the lines that separated them foolish. Good did not exist, nor did Evil. There were only lines for each individual person, lines that they would not cross. But the Queen did what she had to do, and she didn't look down on others who did the same. She hadn't wanted to become a Queen, at first. After being plunged into a world she knew nothing yet everything about, she ran away and tried to escape from her fate. Running, running. Always running, never stopping. Some like to think fate is inescapable, that it decides our life and the choices we make. They are half right. Fate you cannot run away from. But the path you take is up to you to forge. The Queen ran away from Fate's clutches, until she ran into two others of her world. A Hero who had stolen his Title, and a Creator who wielded his Brush like a sword. They laughed together, they cried together, and they conquered together. The Queen had never accepted her Fate, nor did she ever believed in it. In the end, she hadn't changed. But even in the end, after she returned home, she never forgot. What it had taken to be a Queen. This is the story of Novarra Kiye Ultra. ----

8 112Greys II - Ghosts
There he stood, dark eyes, dark hair, beautiful in the most devastating of ways. It scared me how little he had changed, his hair was longer and black, his frame thinner, like he hadn't eaten since I last saw him. His eyes were different, lacking something they had always held before, lacking anything really, and yet he was the same. He looked weak, but I knew he wasn't. "Hi, angel."His voice was just as dead as his eyes. It sent a shiver up my spine. That was the reason I felt sick, that was the reason he seemed different. He was dead, and as much as I wanted to hate him, I was sad he was empty, sad he wasn't the same man anymore."Hello, Gabriel."My voice came out softer than I would have liked, the words burning my tongue. But it didn't matter, I got the desired effect even if the volume wasn't there. He flinched, his eyes widening, his eyebrows twitching up and together, his jaw setting for just a moment. But then it was gone and he looked away, death settling back in his eyes, in the lines of his face.» ✦ «#2 in Angel Romance#3 in Demonology#11 in Thriller#Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again).**Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤
