The Walking Dead Game What Ifs: What if Lee, Lilly, Duck, and Clem were the only survivors of the St Johns?

[First] [Previous] [Next]

We Lucky Few

What if Lee, Lilly, Duck, and Clem were the only survivors of the St Johns? Prompt Submitted by BetterThanBrainiac on AO3

Lee grunted as Danny knocked him down. Kenny burst out to tackle the cannibal, only for the other man to whirl around and shoot Kenny in the chest. Lee watched his friend gasp and fall back, before he could get up, Danny turned back to Lee, only for Lee to hit him below the belt. Quickly grabbing Danny’s gun, Lee cracked him over head with it. After making sure that the cannibal was out cold, Lee left the barn and ran into Ben and Carley.

“Lee, what’s going on?” Demanded Carley, “You and the others have been gone for too long.”

“They attacked us,” Said Lee, “Larry and Kenny are dead, and they cut Mark’s legs off and tried to feed them to us!”

“Jesus.” Muttered Carley, “What about the others?”

“Clementine’s with Lilly in the barn,” Answered Lee, “but they’ve got Duck and Katjaa.”

“Shit.” Muttered Carley, “I’ll go get Lilly and Clementine, Ben, go with Lee.”

Ben gave a shaky nod, as he and Lee started towards the house, they’d just reached the gate when they heard Carley let out a gasping scream. Lee spun around and saw Carley with the prongs of the pitchfork sticking out of her back. Without thinking, Lee rushed towards Danny, just as the cannibal wrenched the pitchfork out of Carley’s gut and drove it into her chest. By that point, Lee was level with him and tackled him. Lee spotted Lilly and Clementine, as well as Kenny slowly getting to his feet.

Growling, Lee hauled Danny up and shove him towards Kenny, with the Walker tearing a chunk out of Danny’s neck. Lee looked at Lilly and Clementine, “C’mon.”

Pausing when he reached Carley, Lee picked up her gun and looked up. He saw Ben struggling with Andy, the man keeping a grip on Duck. Ben was punched in the face and thrown onto the fence, Lee raised Carley’s gun and shot at Andy. Andy ducked and rushed over to the generator and turned it on, Ben’s dying screams piercing the night. Lee took aim again, only for Lilly to shoot Andy in the face.

Lilly looked angry, “Go get Katjaa.”

Lee nodded, rushing towards the house, only for a gunshot to emit from inside the house, with Brenda coming out with blood on her face. Levelling Carley’s gun, Lee shot Brenda in the chest. Hurrying forwards, Lee found Katjaa dead on the floor of the house. Sighing, Lee grabbed their weapons, as well as some of the St John’s supplies, and left.

Lee met up with Lilly, Clementine and Duck, “Let’s go.”

The group of four left the farm, as Walkers started to climb over the fence and into the fields.

WLF

They’d managed to get into the forest safely and gotten back to the motel, after explaining what happened to Kenny and Katjaa to Duck. Lee had noticed that there were tyre tracks in one part of the forest but decided to ignore it.

“Lee.” Lilly’s voice got his attention, “Got a minute?”

Sighing, Lee looked at Clementine and Duck and stepped out of the room.

“What—” Lilly slapped him, “Okay, I deserved that.”

Lilly glared at him, getting another sigh from Lee, “Anything else you want to do?”

Lilly, after a moment, sighed, “What do we do?”

“What do you mean?” Asked Lee, folding his arms.

“We’re not exactly in the best position to defend ourselves,” Said Lilly, “I, I know I’ve kept saying we’d stay here, but… we don’t have the numbers to protect ourselves or keep this place secure if we go on a supply run.”

Sighing, Lee looked around, “I think we should take our chances on the road; we can get stuff downtown when we pass through it. Hell, maybe we’ll find a working vehicle and get around in that.”

Lilly gave another sigh, “Where do we go?”

Lee sighed, “I don’t know.”

WLF

Lee managed to find a couple of backpacks in the motel, then they’d left. They were currently in a clothing store in Macon, Lilly was getting some warm clothes for them, with Lee keeping an eye out for Walkers.

“Right,” Lilly threw a bag at Lee, “I found that in the back, let’s get to the pharmacy.”

Lee nodded, watching out for the dead as they went. Making sure Duck and Clementine were close by, Lee and Lilly started gathering supplies. They’d just finished packing up when they heard screaming.

Lilly glanced at Lee, before he jerked his head to the side, the man signalling for them to leave. By the time they got around the front, the Walkers had gone towards the drugstore. Sighing, Lee started leading the others towards a road going out of Macon. They’d managed to stock up on some food, medicine and clothes, Lee managed to find a couple of guns and a set of hunting knives, which he’d given out to the group. Lilly walked ahead, making sure there weren’t any Walkers up in front of them, with Lee bringing up the rear. Giving Macon a final look, Lee sighed and silently bid goodbye to everyone they’d lost.

WLF

They’d been walking for about a week, Lee and Lilly took turns on watch. Clementine had her first Walker kill, Lee and Lilly had taken it upon themselves to teach the kids how to defend themselves. Lee used the knowledge he had from his brief time in the army to teach them how to use a knife properly.

“Lee.” Lilly got his attention, “Up ahead.”

Frowning, Lee looked in front of them and spotted a train blocking the road, “Huh.”

“Kind of glad we didn’t drive here.” Said Lilly, looking around, “Might be a good place to camp for the night.”

“Especially if we can get into the train car.” Said Lee, looking around, “C’mon, let’s see what’s here.”

They scouted the train out, Duck and Lilly looked around the perimeter, with Duck dealing with a Walker that was trapped in a car that had crashed against the train and finding a box of crackers. Lee and Clementine checked the cab, finding a dead body, Lee found that the body’s head was caved in. The two then went down to the boxcar and found an old man staring at them.

“Are you gonna kill me or steal?” Asked the man, making Lee lower his gun.

“Er… neither?” Lee glanced down at Clementine, “Clem, go get Lilly.”

“Okay.” Clementine left through the door, leaving Lee with the man.

“So,” Lee looked him up and down, “You got a name?”

The old man shrugged, “Chuck, Charles if ya fancy.”

“Okay… Chuck.” Lee nodded, “I’m going to talk to my group, don’t… don’t go anywhere.”

Chuck shrugged as Lee left, before looking through his things.

Lee winced as the light hit him, before he walked over to Lilly, “Clementine told you about the guy?”

Lilly nodded, “What’s he like?”

“You could ask me yourself.” Said Chuck, making Lee turn around, “Since you’re stomping around my home.”

WLF

Lee silently watched the road and tracks for Walkers, Chuck let them stay, even gave the kids some candy. Duck had been left in the cab and had pressed a flashing button, which led to them discovering that the train still worked. They had decided to work on it in the morning, Lee volunteered for first watch. It’d been just over a week since the farm, just over a week since Duck lost his parents, since Larry, Mark, Ben and Carley were killed. He should’ve gone with Carley, he should’ve killed Danny before the left the barn.

“Penny?” Asked Lilly, joining Lee on top of the boxcar.

“Thinking about the dairy.” Said Lee, quietly, “The people we’ve lost.”

Lilly sighed, “How’d you decide?”

“Decide what?”

“Decide to help Kenny.” Clarified Lilly, “I knew about your past, about that senator. I want to know how you decided to help kill my dad.”

Lee sighed, “I didn’t want to take the risk, sure, we could’ve saved him, but he wouldn’t have survived much longer. The cannibals would’ve triggered another heart attack, or the stress of walking through the Walkers or even the walk back to the motel.”

“You couldn’t’ve known that.”

“Maybe, but in my place, with Clem and not knowing your dad well, what would you have done?” Asked Lee, looking at Lilly, “I get not getting to say goodbye, I didn’t get to say goodbye to my parents or my brother. The closest I got was putting Bud down. I would give everything to not go through that pain again.”

“Is that why you left Carley?” Asked Lilly, making Lee bow his head.

“I didn’t realise how much she meant to me,” Confessed Lee, “until that bastard shoved a pitchfork into her.”

They were silent for a moment, then Lilly spoke, “I wouldn’t.”

“Wouldn’t what?” Asked Lee, glancing a Lilly.

“I wouldn’t be able to put my dad down.” Answered Lilly, “And… I probably would’ve done the same as you.”

Lee let out a sigh, “Clementine’s parents are dead.”

“What?” Lilly looked at him.

“Clementine’s parents are dead,” Repeated Lee, “her dad got bit on the first day and her mom was with him. They left voice messages for Clem and her babysitter.”

“What happened to the babysitter?” Asked Lilly, getting a sigh from Lee.

“She got bit.” Answered Lee, looking in the distance. The pair sat on the roof of the boxcar in silence for the rest of the night.

WLF

They got the train and boxcar free from the rest of the cars, Clementine had a piece of chalk and managed to make the instructions for how to start it visible. From there, it was just a matter of knocking things about and twisting and flipping the switches and knobs. Lee and Lilly were taking turns to drive, not wanting each other to risk falling asleep at the controls. Lilly continued with the lessons with the kids, Chuck suggested cutting Clementine’s hair, which Lilly had done, before cutting her own.

Lee took over teaching the kids while Lilly drove, setting up a plan for when they got to Savannah, Lee promising Clementine that they’d look for her parents. Then the train came to a stop. Frowning, Lee poked his head out the side of the boxcar, and saw the tanker blocking the tracks, “Great.”

Hopping out of the car, Lee walked towards the front of the train with Lilly joining him.

“I don’t suppose you have a saw on you?” Asked Lilly, after a moment.

“No.” Sighed Lee, “I saw one, but I didn’t pick it up.”

After that, Lee had got up to a ladder and climbed to the top of the bridge. He met a couple up there, Omid and Christa. The two went down and introduced themselves to the group, while Lee and Clementine went to a nearby station to see if they could find anything that’ll cut the tanker down. They’d managed to get in and deal with the Walkers, Lee had struggled with one, prompting Clementine to kick the Walkers leg, sending it to the ground and allowing Clementine to easily stab it in the head.

Lee spotted a blowtorch and boosted Clementine into the cage to get the keys, which, of course, were in the cage. There was another Walker in the cage, that Lee dispatched with his gun. He and Clementine were just leaving with the blowtorch when Christa ran up to them.

“I heard a gunshot.” Said Christa, in way of a question.

“Had to deal with some Walkers.” Said Lee, looking at Christa, “We’re fine.”

Christa looked doubtful, before turning away with the three walking back to the train. Lilly had Chuck keeping watch on top of the boxcar, while she took Duck and Clementine into the cab. Lee took Omid and started cutting the coupling of the tanker, when Chuck alerted them to a massive herd of Walkers. As soon as the coupling had been cut, Lilly started the train, yelling at Lee and Omid to jump onto the roof. Lee kicked the still ignited blow torch down, before running to the other side of the bridge with Omid. The two braced themselves, before jumping onto the boxcar, Lee landed safely, but Omid hit his shoulder and rolled off the roof, injuring his leg when he hit the ground.

Lee swung down into the boxcar, as Christa jumped out and helped Omid up. The two ran alongside the train, with Lee grabbing Omid and hauling him in. Omid started to get angry with Lee, only for the man to reach out and haul Christa into the boxcar as well. Lee gave the two a look, before walking up to the cab.

WLF

Lee sighed as he watched Clementine and Duck sleep. They’d been travelling for a little while now, leaving the Walkers and the tanker behind.

“So, what do we do when we get to Savannah?” Asked Lilly, leaning away from the controls, “I mean, aside from keeping the kids safe.”

Lee looked at Lilly, “Clementine mentioned that her parents stayed at a place called The Marsh House, we could head for there and then plan our next move.”

Lilly opened her mouth to respond, when music started playing from Clementine’s radio. Frowning, Lee picked up the radio, just as the music cut out.

“I… I thought that was broken.” Said Lilly, looking at Lee.

“So did I.” Responded Lee, looking down at the radio.

WLF

Lee was glad that they were heading towards the Marsh House, instead of braving the streets. Omid was limping behind them, while Lee and Lilly were keeping an eye on Duck and Clementine.

“See anything, Clem?” Asked Lee, as the girl frowned.

“There.” Clementine pointed at a sign that read ‘Marsh House’ with an arrow pointing upwards.

“Not much further.” Said Lee, as they rounded the corner. There were a few Walkers, but Lee noticed Clementine freezing, “Clem?”

Following Clementine’s gaze, Lee’s eye settled on a pair of Walkers, “Oh, man.”

“Those are…” Lilly trailed off, getting a short nod from Lee, “Clementine. Clem, look at me.” Clementine looked up at Lilly, “I know you’re upset, but I need you to focus, okay?” Clementine gave her a shaky nod, “Good.”

They quickly guided their small group into the hotel, with Lee blocking the doors with a couple of chairs. Sighing, Lee turned around, finding Christa had gone off to search the place, while Lilly talked to the kids.

“I’ll be back soon.” Said Lee, taking out his gun and walking into the halls of the hotel.

WLF

After a couple of hours, Lee and Christa returned to the lobby, having not finding any Walkers in the hotel. Lee checked behind the reception desk and grabbing a set of keys, within the hour, everyone had claimed a room, with Lee and Lilly quietly sitting in a room, watching the Walkers mulling around outside, while sharing a bottle of whiskey.

“So,” Lilly looked at Lee, “what’s the plan now? I mean, Clem’s found her parents and we’re at a hotel…”

“I have no idea.” Confessed Lee, as Lilly took a swig of the whiskey. Lee gave her a shrug and wandered over to the bed, with Lilly following and holding the bottle out to him.

Dropping onto the mattress, Lee took a swig from the bottle.

“It is nice that we don’t have to worry about someone keeping guard over the place.” Said Lilly, swaying close to Lee.

Lee hummed, before looking at Lilly. The pair stared at each other, then, in a moment of drunken impulse, they both leaned towards each other and kissed, before they both fell onto the bed.

WLF

Lee frowned as he and Christa walked along side the river. They’d been out on a supply run, ducking into stores and houses, looking for food and medicine. Lee and Lilly had woken up together, their clothes scattered around the room and themselves entwined with each other. They hadn’t talked about it, they’d just gotten dressed in silence and went about the tasks they had.

He didn’t know what he’d call what he and Lilly had. He knew that he had feelings for Carley, part of him wondered if he was using Lilly as a rebound, but another part of him dismissed that. Sighing, Lee looked across the water.

“That’s the seventh time you’ve sighed in five minutes.” Said Christa, getting Lee’s attention, “What’s on your mind.”

Deciding to throw caution to the wind, Lee spoke, “Lilly and I slept together.”

Christa paused, before frowning, “Okay…”

“And you know about… how we ended up on the road.” Said Lee, getting a sigh from Christa.

“I know that you and some other guy killed her Dad after he had a heart attack.” Responded Christa, “I can see how that would make things awkward.”

Lee nodded, just as they rounded a corner and came face to face with a blonde girl working on an RV, “Er… hello?”

WLF

Lilly frowned as Chuck checked on Omid, while Duck looked up at her. Omid’s condition had started to get worse after Lee and Christa went on the supply run, then Duck told her that Clementine had snuck off somewhere.

Part of her was angry, some of it because Lee helped kill her dad, the rest of it because Lee left without saying anything. Another part of her was happy to feel something other than loss, and a third part wondered how they’ll move forward from this. She and Lee had to look after Duck and Clementine, they’d only known Chuck a few days and Omid and Christa even less. Sure, they’d proven that they could be trusted, but they had practically nothing. They had a couple of rifles and some handguns, plus the knives that Lee found, and their meagre supplies were almost used up.

Sighing, Lilly looked towards the stairway door, just as Clementine and Christa appeared, with a blonde woman, “What the hell? Who the hell is this?”

“Her name’s Molly.” Said Christa, glancing back at her, “Lee and I stumbled across her while we were out getting supplies. Found her working on an RV.”

Lilly frowned, before looking behind them, “Where’s Lee?”

“We got ambushed by Walkers,” Said Christa, “the rest of us got to higher ground, but Lee had to go through the sewers.”

“Molly gave Lee her icepick.” Said Clementine, getting Lilly’s attention, wilting slightly when the woman looked at her.

“Clem,” Lilly crouched down, “what were you thinking? We don’t know how dangerous the streets are.”

“She’s actually the reason I didn’t kill your friends.” Said Molly, “Crawford doesn’t allow children.”

Lilly gave Molly a blank look.

“Crawford’s a community, apparently,” Supplied Christa, “they’re not big fans of children, the elderly, or anyone with a medical condition.”

Lilly frowned, before sighing, “Right, Chuck’s looking at Omid, other than that, nothing’s changed.”

Christa nodded, stepping past Lilly to see Omid. Molly looked around, “You know, I don’t think Crawford’s raided this place yet.”

WLF

Lee silently sighed as he and Vernon walked into the Marsh House. He paused at the number of dead Walkers lying in the lobby, “That’s… not good.” Lee looked at Vernon, “You might want to—”

Chuck suddenly appeared, heaving a Walker out of a door and dropping it on the pile, before he spotted Lee, “Oh, you’re back. That’s good, Lilly and the others are cleaning out some Walkers in the kitchen.”

Lee nodded and strode past Chuck, leaving the two old men behind. Lee drew his knife and went into the kitchen, stopped when he saw Lilly beating a Walker over the head with a frying pan, with Molly using a cleaver to put down the Walkers. Clementine and Duck were watching them take out the Walkers.

“I… guess things are under control.” Said Lee, as they dealt with the last Walker.

Lilly looked over at Lee, “Yeah, turns out we’ve got a lot of food.”

WLF

Vernon had taken a look at Omid, while Lee and Lilly talked. He told them that Omid needed medicine, and the only place they could get it was in Crawford. So, they’d decided that Lee and Christa would go to Crawford, with Molly and Vernon showing them the way. Chuck, having found out that he was a doctor, was going to stay at the hotel with Lilly and the kids watching over Omid. Molly said her RV needed a battery and gas, which Lee was going to help her get.

After seeing them off, Lilly went and checked on the kids, they’d been given the task of putting down some of the smaller Walkers, ones that didn’t have full bodies, and she found them covered in Walker guts. With a full Walker standing near them motionless, until Lilly walked in, when it turned and started limping towards her. Sooner than she’d’ve liked, Lilly found herself grappling with a Walker, before it suddenly fell to the floor and Clementine and Duck drove their knives into its head.

“What,” Gasped Lilly, “the hell happened?”

“Walkers can’t see us if we’re covered in them!” Grinned Duck, “And Clem and me kicked it’s legs making it fall!”

Lilly sighed, “C’mon, let’s get you two cleaned up.”

“I’d like that.” Said Clementine, “I smell gross.”

WLF

Lee and the others got back a few hours later, with Lilly filling them in about the kids’ discoveries. Christa had gone straight to Omid with the medicine and Lilly going with Molly to the RV, watching her back as she fitted the parts.

“How much longer until it’s ready?” Asked Lilly, looking at Molly.

“We just need to fill her up,” Said Molly, “and you can drive us outta here no problem.”

Lilly frowned, “Why am I driving?”

Molly suddenly looked embarrassed mumbled, “I don’t know how.”

Lilly blinked, before closing her eyes and sighing, “Just… just fill it up.”

There was a click behind Lilly, making her slowly turn around, coming face to face with Vernon and his group, “What?”

“This isn’t anything personal,” Said Vernon, pointing a gun at Lilly, “but we’ll be taking that RV.”

Lilly looked around the small group, finding that Vernon was the only one armed. Glaring at them, Lilly said, “No.” And pulled the trigger of her rifle, hitting Vernon in the gut, before pulling out her handgun and shooting the others. Lilly felt a pang of regret, only to get shoved by Molly as Vernon fired at her. Molly let out a cry, crumpling to the ground, while Lilly killed Vernon.

Rushing over, Lilly grabbed Molly and lifted her into the RV, before she searched the bodies of Vernon’s group and took what supplies and weapons they had and finished filling up the RV. The RV pulled up in front of the hotel, with Lee guiding the others out towards it.

“Christa, you’re driving.” Ordered Lilly, rushing up to Lee and Chuck, “Vernon’s group tried to jump us, Molly’s been shot.”

Thankfully, the RV was rather spacious, allowing Lee to put the kids and Omid a decent distance away from where Chuck was working on Molly. They watched as Chuck examined Molly’s injury, hoping the girl would be okay.

WLF

Molly bled out in the back of the RV. Vernon’s bullet had knicked an artery and lodged itself in her spine. Lee stabbed the back of Molly’s head to prevent her from reanimating, before Christa pulled over and they laid Molly to rest. Lilly didn’t say it, but it felt like they were laying the other members of their group to rest as well.

Lilly looked up at Lee from where her head was resting on his shoulder, before sighing and deciding to get some sleep. Omid was asleep while Clementine and Duck played a game, with Chuck joining Christa up front. Lee glanced down at Lilly, before looking around at the group, before finally settling on the massive stain of Molly’s blood. Closing his eyes, Lee decided to get some sleep, he’d need it if he was going to drive.

Next Story: What if Clem found out AJ was at McCarroll Ranch before she met Javi?

why do the st johns own this.

[stop-breaking-my-heart-telltale]

favourite twdg villain?

I'm a fond enjoyer of the St. John's as villains. I don't know if they're my favorite just because they're only in one episode, but I love the concept of this family almost immediately jumping into cannibalism toward the start of the outbreak, dealing in human flesh to bandits, and casually feeding this group their friend's legs.

Like... what the hell was this family like before the outbreak that all three of them were like, "Hey now listen... nothing should go to waste, the dead are eating people so why shouldn't we? We gotta survive and in our defense, we only target those who were gonna die anyway... like y'all."

Dude, Mark was shot in this shoulder with an arrow. He wasn't going to die from that injury. It's so fucked that these seemingly friendly people took the group into their home and then fed them Mark's legs.

If we take the idea that everyone is infected and have the capacity within themselves to become walkers, to become monsters, then the St. John's were infected long before the outbreak, y'know? Not literally, but something was wrong with them and the outbreak just further spread that infection and changed them.

But again, are they my favorite? I dunno if I can say that since I have a lot more appreciation for Lily now. Yeah, some of her writing gets a little wonky in ep3 of TFS when she goes on her monologues and shit, but y'know what? I'm into it.

You have to remember who we're talking about and the fact that she's the antagonist; Lily isn't some anti-hero in TFS who secretly has a heart of gold that's brought to light because she reunited with Clementine... she's a fucked up woman who did fucked up things in the name of survival. She's full of rot now. She sees kidnapping children and turning them into soldiers to protect her home as a means to an end, but she doesn't actually give a shit about the people she's taking. They aren't people to her, they're as the episode title suggests, toys in her game. The only one she sees as a person is Clementine, and while that makes her hesitate at first, she sees Clementine's a prize to bring back.

She remembers what happened in S1; her father had a heart attack and as she tried to save him, Kenny smashed his face in with a saltlick and then expected Lily to just stand up and help him get back to his family because "he did what he had to, he made the hard choice." Yes, Larry was a piece of shit. No one liked him, and you can even question Lily on him and she'll tell you that he has a lot of pain. Yes, it makes him an asshole, but he's still her dad and he's all she has. I mean... the simplification is daddy issues, but in all seriousness, I don't doubt for a second that many of Lily's issues stem from Larry being a shitty father to her.

Then everyone thought she was losing it when she insisted there was a traitor in the group, which she was right about, but she was unstable. She was unwell, but how do you help someone like that when you don't have training to go about it? Then Lily ends up killing either Carley or Doug and the group turns on her, and either she's left behind or she steals the van and runs away.

Then we don't know what the hell happened to her until we see her again in TFS, but like... a lone woman with decay festering inside of her joining the delta? Exposing her to their methods? I mean, what else did she have to lose? She had nothing, she lost everything, and she has a lot of issues. Survival is easy when you're numb, when you don't care about the individual; they're all just cogs churning to make the system run, and if a piece doesn't cooperate, you get rid of it and find a new one.

Plus I think there's something to say about Lily not wanting to be perceived as weak again. That whole display she put on in the cells? Telling the story of what happened to Minerva and Sophie? I get the criticism that it feels like Lily did a 180 between episodes but like... yeah dude, because it's a performance. It's not just her and Clementine anymore. It's a display of power and authority. She's playing the part and thriving in it as she ensures everyone else is terrified of her.

But then when Clementine and AJ get the upper hand? Again, she's not afraid to play up the pleading to earn enough sympathy to spare her- hell, just to let their guard down enough to strike and get the upper hand again. I mean, she's got nothing else to lose, right? If she doesn't go for it, she'll be killed and sure, you can kill her anyway but at least she tried.

Honestly, I look at Lily in TFS and still see that scared little girl playing the tough bitch, just like Carley said in S1. It's just now escalated from "tough bitch" to a downright vile person. She's so... lost? I suppose? Lost within herself and the monstrous means she's taken to survive.

I get the criticisms of how she was used in TFS, but for me, it's like when people complain about Minerva not getting the redemption arc she supposedly should've gotten, y'know? There's no saving her. Lily was never on our side, and there was no getting her on our side. She wasn't ever going to redeem herself. Even if you spare her and she drifts away on her raft, can someone like her actually find redemption? Or will she just find another group that'll feed into her rot?

Truly, I say let her be horrid. Let her be the piece of shit villain with a few fleeting moments of humanity. Let her drown in the blood she's spilled.

[brandongamesall]

I want to talk about the St. John dad. I always thought it was a mystery there is only one picture with him in it, all his awards, and spoken of fondly. Why was he so revered, but then talking about him is so sad. Like, what would be your reason for jt being that sad? Was it guilt, could they have saved him, was he... bitten? But one thing I know for sure is Brenda even says "he wouldn't want things to be this way" or something along those lines. Which means there is some guilt in a situation. Anyone have thoughts or do you all think it doesn't matter?

[thankyouforthememoriesworld]

🔎here's a fun article for Jan 2018! Seriously, I don't think folks realize how much of a prodigy she was. Her school was top 10 in her freshman and sophomore year (2nd that year) and she was the best player.

https://web.archive.org/web/20180119151457/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/she-does-everything-freshman-is-already-one-of-nations-top-high-school-recruits/2018/01/09/c19b79f6-f49f-11e7-91af-31ac729add94_story.html?utm_term=.99d62cde4790

Lots of favorite quotes

Her first scholarship offer came from Maryland when she was in sixth grade, and the 5-foot-11 guard has since been recruited by a large handful of power conference programs, including Stanford, Tennessee and Connecticut, whose legendary Coach Geno Auriemma stopped in to see her work out this past fall on an otherwise normal day at St. John’s in Northwest Washington.

“What do you think it was like?” she asked, smiling at her own sarcasm. “I was so nervous.”

Well, did it show?

“No,” she shot back, smiling even wider. “I crushed it that day.”

-------------

“She showed a knack for the game right away,” said Tim Fudd, her father. 

“Not in her first game,” interjected Katie Smrcka-Duffy Fudd, her mother. Azzi, sunk into a brown leather couch, let out a short giggle. “She was horrible.”

“Okay,” Tim insisted. “But after that . . . ”

“She was a freak of nature from a very young age,” Katie said, finishing Tim’s sentence. “That helped her fall in love with it.”

---------------

“She’s like Kawhi Leonard. It’s hard to say what position she is. She’s just Azzi and does everything, you know?” St. John’s Coach Jonathan Scribner said before the season. “You just don’t see it very often. She is something that’s different. You’re seeing a unicorn.”

Azzi is technically a combo guard capable of running an offense and thriving as an off-ball scorer. But as Scribner pointed out, it is hard to define her as just that. She is a high-percentage three-point shooter and has the upper-body strength to score inside. She is a strong perimeter defender and can protect the paint. She played point guard for Team USA’s gold medal-winning 16-and-under team this past summer — as a 14-year-old — but Coach Carla Berube said, “We could also rely on her to guard all five positions.”

I had read it before, but it's definitely worth sharing to help newcomers understand just how remarkable Azzi is.

Katie said Azzi “didn’t seem like herself” before snapping an iPhone photo of her daughter’s final stat line: 27 points, eight rebounds, 8 for 16 from the field, 4 for 5 from three, 7 for 7 from the free throw line. Tim, tie loosened by a stressful ending, walked across the floor to have a long conversation with Maryland women’s basketball Coach Brenda Frese.

TW: Implied Rape/Non-Con, Cannibalism and Murder

Lee scowled as Larry, Lilly and Kenny were hauled out of the meat locker by the St. Johns, with Andy throwing Duck in. Making sure Duck and Clementine were behind him, Lee grimly watched as he heard Lilly screaming at them through the door. They heard Larry yelling, before a gunshot echoed out, followed by two more. They heard Danny and Andy talking about something, as they started butchering.

Outside the Barn, Carley and Ben quietly watched as Walkers started pressing against the fence. Lee and the others had been gone longer than they’d expected, prompting Carley to make the decision for her and Ben to go find them. It was probably nothing, but they had to be sure. A noise beside her made Carley pause and look towards it, expecting a Walker. Instead, she saw a boy roughly the same age as Clementine looking up at her.

“Hi.” Said the boy, getting a small wave from Carley and Ben.

“…Hey.” Carley wondered if this was how Clementine met Lee.

“Carley, there’s the woman.” Said Ben, pointing towards the house.

“Probably noticing that the fence isn’t on and the Walkers getting through.” Murmured Carley, as one of the St. John brothers stepped out, holding Katjaa’s severed head, “Oh, god.”

“We got the meat stripped off the three you wanted us to kill.” Said the brother, “Just Lee, and those kids left.”

“I had to get rid of that one we had for dinner.” Said the man’s mother.

The man scoffed, “Where’s Andy?”

“He’s with that woman.” Said the mother, “You had that vet.”

“Wasn’t fair he got the prettier one.” Grumbled Danny, “Can I have that other one, that came here earlier?”

“We’ll see.” Said the mother, “I turned the fence on, we got Walkers comin’ up on us.”

Carley took the opportunity to raise her gun and shoot Danny in the spine, the man fell with a scream.

“My legs!” Screamed Danny, “I can’t feel my legs!”

The mother, Brenda, Carley remembered her name, looking around frantically, before Carley took her out as well. She wasn’t killed, but she hit her head when she landed. Without waiting for Ben or the kid, Carley ran into the barn, finding an inside door open to the horrific scene of Kenny, Larry and Katjaa butchered. Swallowing the bile rising in her throat, Carley stepped past them and saw a meat locker and wrenching the door open. Carley just stepped through, when Lee tackled her.

“It’s me!” Yelled Carley, making Lee pause.

“Oh, thank god.” Gasped Lee, before spotting the dead bodies, “Fuck.”

“Where’re Mark and Lilly?” Asked Carley, getting a groan from Lee.

“They fed the others Mark’s legs,” Said Lee, “If Lilly isn’t with the others, then they might have her somewhere else.”

“We have to get the kids out of here.” Said Carley, just as they heard a scream, “That sounded like Lilly.”

Lee frowned, before looking at the kids, “Go with Carley, I’ll get Lilly.”

Carley soon found herself with Duck and Clementine, guiding them past their dead friends. Lee grabbed a rifle and a pitchfork, stabbing Brenda with the farming instrument and charging into the house. There was some yelling, before there was a gunshot. Carley waiting a few moments, before looking at Ben, “Keep the kids with you.”

Without waiting for a response, Carley rushed to the house, finding Lee keeping Andy pinned by standing on his shoulder, while trying to coax a catatonic Lilly out of the room. Carley swallowed, noticing that Lilly was naked.

“Lee.” Carley got his attention, “I’ll take over here.”

Lee nodded, before he hauled Andy to his feet and forced him into another room. The sound of breaking glass and Andy screaming told Carley that Lee threw the other man out a window. After getting some clothes on Lilly, Carley gathered what weapons and supplies she could find into a bag, the two women saw Lee shove Andy onto the electric fence, before he dragged the paralysed Danny over to his reanimated mother and shoved his face against the Walker’s mouth.

“LEE!” Yelled Carley, making Lee look at her, “We need to go.”

Breathing heavily, Lee nodded and guided the kids and the women out of the farm, leaving their dead friends. Lee’d hoped that they wouldn’t lose anyone else, killing a Walker that got a bit too close to Ben.

L

The boy, that crept up on Ben and Carley, gave his name as Adam and that he’d gotten separated from his dad while they were hunting. They found his family’s car, with them deciding to wait at the car until Adam’s family turned up.

“Look at all their supplies.” Said Ben, looking into the car, “They’ve could survive for weeks off this.”

“Probably.” Shrugged Lee, “Almost makes me wonder why they were out hunting.”

“We could double back,” Suggested Carley, “take whatever supplies remain at the dairy.”

“Tomorrow.” Said Lee, looking at Lilly, “It’s dark and we don’t want to get lost.”

The sound of a stick breaking got their attention, just as a man, a woman and a girl a little bit older than Duck appear from the darkness. The man stared at them for a bit, before hastily grabbing his gun, “W-what do you want?!”

Adam perked up and rushed out, “Dad!”

“Adam!” Gasped the woman, rushing towards him, “Oh, baby, I thought I’d lost you.”

“I found these guys.” Grinned Adam, “They fought some bad guys as a farm, she,” He pointed at Carley, “shot two of them, it was so cool, he,” Adam pointed at Lee, “threw one of the bad guys out a window and beat him up and threw him onto a fence! And, and he stabbed another with a pitchfork and when she became one of the monsters, he threw the last surviving one onto its mouth!”

Adam’s parents wearily looked at Lee and Carley.

“They were cannibals, who tried to feed us our friends legs and killed three more of our friends.” Explained Lee, before glancing at Lilly, “She… er… got stuck in a room with one of them.”

Adam’s dad slowly nodded, before looking over the group, “Do you have somewhere to stay?”

“We’re based in the Motel not far from here.” Said Carley, “We don’t have much in way of food… or anything really. That’s how they got us.”

“We’ll… er,” Adam’s dad looked at Adam’s mom, “we’ll meet you there.”

L

Adam’s parents, Mitch and Tess, checked them over when they got back to the motel. Tess turned out to be a doctor, while Mitch was a handy-man/mechanic. Lee was somewhat happy that Duck and Clementine had a couple of kids around their age for once. Lilly stayed in her room for the most part. Mitch started fixing the RV, stating not all of them could fit in the car.

Lee, Mitch and Ben had gone to the farm and scavenged anything that could be useful. Ben got separated from them for a bit, but they all made it home. Lee and Carley had done several supply-runs into Macon, gathering as much food, weapons and supplies as they could find. It was after one of their supply-runs that they found Lilly had gone missing.

Then the supplies started to go missing, which led them to move the supplies into the RV, with someone inside it at all times to keep an eye on them.

“They have to be going somewhere,” Said Carley, looking around at the other three adults, “what are they taking?”

“Opioids.” Responded Tess, “And since none of us are getting high, they’re not using them, which means they’re either stashing them away or giving them to someone outside of the group.”

“Who’s watching the supplies now?” Asked Mitch, looking at Lee.

“Ben,” Answered Lee, “I’m going to look over the outside, since we’ve checked everywhere else.”

“We’ll get the vehicles ready.” Said Carley, as Lee headed out.

Half-an-hour later, the station wagon and the RV were tearing out of the Motel, speeding away as the Bandits from the woods shot at them.

L

They stopped at the side of the road during the night, with the Adults stepping out, after Lee hit a Walker.

“They had Lilly.” Said Tess, “They said ‘one isn’t enough anymore’. What else could they’ve meant?”

“Someone gave them supplies and sold a member of the group.” Carley frowned and Lee dealt with the Walker, “That, or they’ve been sneaking in, but then why only take one?”

“The kids would’ve mentioned it,” Said Lee, looking up from the Walker, “which only leaves Ben.”

“What do we do with him?” Asked Mitch, making Lee sigh.

“We don’t have the numbers to cut him loose.” Said Lee, “We’ll keep him away from the others, but we’ll need to come up with a more permanent solution.”

After ensuring that there weren’t Walkers approaching, they got back in their vehicles and drove off.

L

They stopped at a level crossing, with a train blocking the road. Lee, Mitch and Ben scouted the train out, discovered that it still worked and met an old homeless man who was living in it. After introducing him to the rest of the group, Lee and Mitch got the train free from the derailed cars.

“Good luck.” Said Mitch, as they split the supplies, “In Savannah, I mean.”

“You as well.” Responded Lee, “Maybe we’ll run into each other again someday.”

“Someday.” Said Mitch, as Carley got Clementine, Duck and Ben onto the train, “You going to teach them how to shoot?”

“Carley seems to think it’s a good idea.” Said Lee, looking at the train car, “Hopefully we can make a more solid plan when we get to Savannah.”

Mitch sighed, “Well, be seeing you, Lee.”

“Goodbye Mitch.”

The two halves of the group bid their goodbyes, with Adam giving Clementine his hoodie, “So you won’t get cold.”

With a final wave, Mitch and his family drove off, as Lee started the train.

L

The trip was quiet and without interruption, until Lee had to stop the train because a tanker was blocking the track. Lee had gone up to inspect the coupling when he ran into Omid and Christa, a couple that had been travelling when the outbreak started.

After showing Omid, and Ben, the controls of the train, Lee took Clementine down to a nearby station, while Carley kept watch on top of the train. After a few minutes, they heard a gunshot, prompting Christa to run down to the station, just as Lee and Clementine stepped out.

“What happened?” Demanded Christa, looking at Lee.

“We ran into some Walkers,” Explained Lee, “We dealt with it.”

“Really?” Christa frowned, “You and an eight-year-old girl?”

“I’m nine.” Corrected Clementine, making Lee look at her.

“When’d you turn nine, Clem?” Asked Lee, drowning.

“Four days ago.” Answered Clementine, after counting on her fingers.

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“Everyone died.” Answered Clementine, “I didn’t want to be happy.”

“Clem,” Said Lee, gently as he crouched down, “you can be happy when you’re grieving. Sometimes, it’s what keeps us going.”

Clementine gave Lee a small nod, before they reached the trains. Lee and Omid went up and started cutting the tankers coupling, while Carley saw a horde of Walkers in the distance. Glancing at her gun, Carley tucked it into her waist band and called down to Christa, “We’ve got some Walkers coming up, if they guys are quick, we can get out of here before they reach us.”

Just as Carley said that, the tanker dropped down onto the ground, with Lee and Omid hurrying down to them and clambering onto the train. With heavy breaths, the survivors left the horde behind.

L

“The Marsh House should be down here.” Said Carley, as they walked down a street, “Hopefully, we won’t have any unexpected surprises.”

Lee glanced back at the group, Christa and Omid stuck around, but Lee felt like that they were hiding something. Chuck kept an eye on Ben, as Lee had requested, making sure he didn’t do anything that could put them at risk. Lee and Carley still had to decide what to do with Ben.

Lee bumped into Clementine, not noticing that she’d stopped, “Clem?”

Clementine stared down the street, with Lee following her gaze. He felt his breath catch in his throat, Clementine’s parents ambled around, not making any noise. Gently pushing Clementine forwards, the small group hurried into the Hotel, with Ben tripping when a Walker grabbed his ankle. Faster than anyone them could react, the Walker clambered onto Ben’s back and tore a chunk out of his shoulder. Swallowing, Lee pulled the hotel doors shut, as Ben was devoured by the Walkers in the street.

Swallowing, Lee turned to the others, “We need to check for Walkers. Chuck, stay here with the kids, okay?”

Chuck frowned, but nodded. Lee took the rest of the group and spent the next few hours putting down the Walkers still in the hotel. Sooner than they all expected, they’d each claimed a room.

“Ooh.” Carley stretched as she sat down, “That was exhausting.”

“Yeah.” Murmured Lee, wrapping an arm around her, “Fuck, how long has it been?”

“Since when?”

“Since we lost the others.”

“Just over a week, I think.” Sighed Carley, leaning against Lee.

“Christ.” Lee looked down at Carley, “Wanna talk about it?”

Carley sighed and looked up at him, “No.” Without another word, Carley closed the distance between them and kissed him.

L

The next morning Lee and Carley woke up tangled together, with a strange feeling of contentment. They got dressed and checked on the kids, finding Clementine wrapped up in a blanket and Duck half-way off the bed.

After gathering the rest of the group, they took stock of their situation. A couple hours later, Lee and Carley were walking down to the river front, with Duck and Clementine in tow.

“I still think this is a bad idea.” Said Carley, looking around for Walkers.

“It’d help them with future runs.” Answered Lee, glancing back and Duck and Clementine, “Clem, Duck, stay closer to us.”

The children hurried over to them, just as they reached the river. There were boats, but the ones that were sea-worthy had been completely stripped of anything remotely useful.

“Who are you guys?” Asked a woman’s voice from behind them.

Lee and Carley immediately spun around and aimed their guns at a woman in an orange hooded jacket. The woman lowered her hood and remove a mask she’d been wearing, “You’re not with Crawford.”

The woman had interrogated them, told them about Crawford and how she used the bells around the city to lure the Walkers away, when the Walkers that she’d lured away came back. The group ended up being split up, the woman, who’d given her name as Molly, had gotten Carley and the kids up to higher ground, while Lee had to escape into the sewers.

L

Lee returned to the hotel, with the help of another survivor, Vernon, after he stumbled across them. He found that Carley, Clementine and Duck had gotten back to the hotel with Molly. After reuniting with them, the group, as well as their two guests, convened in a lounge-like seating area.

“The hotel’s fairly well stocked,” Argued Christa, looking around them, “and winter’s almost here, so, adding what we already have, we could hold out here until the weather warms up.”

“I thought you wanted to get back on the road.” Remarked Lee, “But, staying here does seem like a good idea. But we’re gonna have to learn the layout of the streets, which ones are blocked, which ones are overrun with Walkers and all that.”

Chuck cleared his throat, “It might not be my place to say, but how long have you been pregnant?”

Everyone looked at the old man with varying degrees of alarm and confusion.

“What?” Carley frowned, “How do you know she’s pregnant?”

“I was a doctor,” Answered Chuck, “was let go on account of my arthritis.”

Lee sighed, “Okay, so, taking Christa’s condition into account, we’re probably gonna be here until the baby is born—”

“Probably longer,” Said Carley, “it’ll be a while before their baby’s safe to travel.”

 “We’re going to need more medicine.” Said Lee, “And some more weapons.”

“And Crawford will have both.” Said Vernon, “I know a way into Crawford without them knowing.”

“If we do go,” Said Carley, “Some people are gonna have to stay behind.”

L

Vernon had left and returned with another member of his group, a woman called Brie, before they led a small group consisting of Lee, Omid, Molly and Clementine to Crawford through the sewers. They’d found the community had fallen and was overrun with Walkers, Lee found himself agreeing with Vernon when the older man said they now had the advantage. They set themselves up in a classroom, with Lee instructing Clementine to hold the fort until he got back, before he went off with Molly to get a battery and some gas for something she was working on.

Meanwhile, at the hotel, Carley, Christa and Chuck

Brie offered to stay with Clementine, while Vernon and Omid got the medicine. The rest of the trip was smooth sailing, with Lee and Molly returning with the battery. Brie then took Molly and got the gas, before Vernon and Omid got back to the room, it turned out that Omid knew his way around a lock. They’d just gotten the armoury open when Molly and Brie got back, they gathered what weapons they had and made their escape, spotting the large horde of Walkers that had been attracted by the train.

“Maybe you should bring your people to the hotel.” Suggested Lee, looking at Vernon and Brie, “We’ve got the room, and we’ve got it pretty secure.”

Vernon hesitated, before glancing at Brie, “We’ll discuss it amongst ourselves.”

Lee found himself nodding, before they started on their way back to the hotel.

“So,” Omid looked at Molly, “What’re the gas and battery for?”

“I’ve been trying to fix up an RV,” Said Molly, after a few moments of silence, “the Battery and the gas were the last things it needed, I think.”

Having an RV, Lee thought, could be useful when they eventually moved on. He decided to talk to Molly about it later, after they were all safe at the Hotel.

L

Vernon and his group reached the hotel, just as the horde hit Savannah. Lee made sure that Molly was with them before they hit. Everyone knew that the hotel wasn’t going to be long-term, but as Lee looked around the two groups mingling with each other, he couldn’t help by feel hopeful.

“Do you think Mitch and his family are okay?” Asked Carley, making her presence next to him known.

“I hope so.” Answered Lee, “Maybe we’ll run into them again.”

“It’ll be a while.” Said Carley, as she watched Clementine and Duck talk with Molly, “Do we stay as a big group or split off?”

“I don’t know.” Sighed Lee, “Molly’s RV would come in handy, but we know the issues of having a medium sized group, having a large group might be worse.”

“Or it might be better.” Carley pointed out.

Lee sighed, “I guess we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.”

Carley hummed, before resting herself against Lee. The couple stood in silence, watching the group. Lee knew that they needed to come up with a plan or something, but, for now, he wanted to enjoy the peace.
