The Walking Dead: only trying to do the right thing

Chapter 1: a twist of fate.

WARNING, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT PLAYED THE WALKING DEAD, THIS STORY CONTAINS SPOILERS.

Alright, for those who have played The Walking Dead by Telltale Games, as you aware, Lily shoots either Carley or Doug, depending on who you saved before. Well, I got this idea for You Tuber named theturningdead, who posted a video of an image that looked like Ben got shot and not Carley or Doug. So I would like to thank him for the idea.

Anyway, the image did look like it could have been edited, but nevertheless, it did give me the idea to write this story. I hope everyone enjoys it, and if you have any questions, feel free to let me know. Before we begin, let me just let you know what options I picked in the game for this story.

Episode 1: I saved Carley instead of Doug.

Episode 2: I cut David free from the bear trap.

Episode 2: I gave food rations to Clementine, Duck, Kenny, and Carley.

Episode 2: I helped Lily try to revive Larry.

Episode 2: I let Andy and Danny live.

Episode 2: I choose not to take the supplies from the station wagon.

Episode 3: I told everyone in the group about my past.

Okay, I have talked enough. Enjoy the story.

"Everyone out."

"Lilly."

"Out."

This has been quite a terrible and tragic day for the Macon survivors. For three months, they had been living at their Motor Inn peacefully but that all changed today when the Save-Lot Bandits raided their camp, trying to kill anyone they see.

And to make things worse, there was traitor in their group.

Lee Everett; a man who always tries to do right by his group, he discovered a stash of their medical supplies inside a grate just outside the Motor Inn. Someone in their group had been sneaking the Save-Lot Bandits supplies. But the real question was: why?

He wanted to just forget about the entire situation, but their so-called leader however, wanted to get this bottom of this right away. Lilly suspect two people amongst the group of who the traitor could be: Ben; the young teenager who they found not too long ago after his friend and teacher were killed. And Carley, who has stuck with the group since they met in Lee's parents Drugstore.

Lilly knew that the traitor could not be either Lee, Kenny, or Katjaa due to the fact Kenny and Katjaa had Duck, and Lee had Clementine, and they would never do something to put them danger.

Everyone apart from Katjaa and Duck exited the RV to investigate what they had hit that caused their RV to stop in the middle of the road.

Lilly moved in front of the RV before kneeling down in front of it the investigate what they had hit into.

Under the RV was a trapped walker, who was struggling to crawl it's way out while it groaned and snarled, looking for a fresh meal to eat.

Lilly stood back up beside the RV to tell Kenny about the walker trapped underneath, and any damage it may have caused. "Kenny, the RV has some surface damage, but there is a walker trapped underneath."

"God dammit." Kenny sighed, kneeling down in front of the RV while leaning to the side a little so he could see his group and give them a little warning just in case they were not alone out here. "Everyone, keep your eyes pealed."

While Kenny was dealing with the trapped walker, Lilly joined with Lee, Carley, and Ben, determined to solve this traitor issue. She already had her first suspect, and that was Ben Paul. "You know what, we shouldn't just kick you out, we should hear what everybody thinks."

"I think you should chill out." Ben argued, in fear that Lilly will kick him out from their group, leaving him all alone to his possible end. He would never survive at least a day on his own.

"I'm not gonna take this." Carley joined in on the conversation, knowing that Lilly suspected her to be the traitor too. She had to prove her innocence now, determined not to let Lilly push her around like she was now doing to be. "You can push Ben around, but you can't push me around."

"I'm real sorry you feel that way. I'm starting to think maybe it was both of you." Lilly scold, folding her arms together while getting a new thought that her two suspects could be working together instead.

"No!" Ben shouted, slightly beginning to panic in fears that the group will kick him out.

"This dumb, fuck walker!" Kenny groaned, trying to figure out a way to get the walker out from under the RV without getting himself bitten.

"You okay over there?" Lee inquired, gazing upon Kenny when he noticed Kenny was struggling to get the walker out from under the RV.

"Yeah, yeah," Kenny answered, quietly mumbling to himself about the current situation they were in with the walker. "Son of a bitch!"

Lilly moved her sight from Kenny and then back her main suspect: Ben while she curled her left hand like a fist and placed it upon her hip. "Ben, you have no other options-"

"Leave him alone." Carley interrupted her, trying to defend Ben from Lilly, knowing that it was not fair to judge both her and Ben like this just because she thinks so.

"Then tell me it was Carley, and then everything will be as bright as rain." Lilly ordered, attempting to make Ben either confess he did it or put the blame on Carley instead.

"There's no way it was Carley. It was somebody else. It could have been sneaking into our camp." Lee joined in, defending Carley from Lily, knowing that the girl he had a slight love interest in would never have done something like this.

"That's ridiculous." Llily countered, folding both of her arms together as she turned her gave towards Lee instead, thinking that what he just said was just blame stupid. "That's what you think?"

"Yes." Lee simply answered.

"Okay, fine then." Lilly replied, not really paying any attention to what Lee had said. She looked over Ben's shoulder towards Kenny to know what he thought about this whole situation and who he thinks was the traitor. "Kenny?"

"I don't know! Fuck! Just, stop, would ya?!" Kenny replied, too busy dealing with the walker trapped under the RV to care about the traitor situation.

Running out on her opinion on who the traitor was, Lilly decide to put it to a vote, and so far, she had her first vote.

"Well your vote counts for you and Katjaa." Lilly said, knowing that Katjaa was still too busy with her son in the RV, and most likely taking care of her injury after a walker knocked her down earlier today, causing her to split her head open.

"We don't need all these VOTES! What do I have to do for you to TRUST me? I'll do ANYTHING!" Ben panicked, thinking that everyone was going to put it to a vote that it was him, meaning that would only lead to trouble.

Lee looked both towards Ben and Lilly, not really sure on who's side he should be on. He knew Lilly did not have any right to accusing who she thinks, but he also knew that Blu panicking would only make it worse on himself.

Lee jumped in on the conversation in an attempt to keep Ben from panicking any further, knowing that panicking would only make it worse on himself, giving Lilly more of the reason to put the blame on him. "Stop panicking. Seriously, Ben, you need to stop and just take a breath."

"Do we need any more evidence then this?!" Lilly asked, thinking that she had all the evidence she needed to put the blame on Ben about him being the traitor.

"Fuck EVIDENCE." Carley stepped in, trying to defend her friend Ben once again while she scolded Lilly with a hateful look. "Stop treating him like this."

"Shut up, Carley-"I've heard enough out of you."" Lilly growled, hearing enough shit out from Carley's mouth that was driving her angry. Before long, she gazed her sight back onto the Kenny, ready for his vote now. "Kenny! What's it going to be?"

"Just give me a damn minute!" Kenny requested, before moving back down in front of the RV to finish dealing with the trapped walker that was kind of annoying him now.

Lilly, knowing that Ben was not going to confess that he done it, attempted to force Ben to put the blame on someone else, and that was no other than Carley. She ordered him to confess, giving him time until the walker was dealt with. "Ben, you have until that walker is dealt with to tell me it was her" Lilly pointed her finger on her right hand towards Carley "and not you."

"Stop this. You're torturing him." Carley said, trying once again to help her friend once again, knowing that the pressure was getting to him.

Everyone except for Lee argued with each other while the man from Macon tried to think of what to say next. He did not want to side with Lilly, but he did not want Ben or Carley to be kicked out from the group either.

"No!" Ben refused.

"Ben!" Lilly snapped.

"Stop!" Carley snarled.

Finally running out of any other options, Lee decided to say something that may be stupid but it might just end this argument once and for all. He turned Lilly and without hesitation, he said two words that immediately caught her attention. "I did it."

"What?" Lilly inquired, not believing what he had just said to her that had caused her to turn her attention from Ben towards Lee.

"Yeah, it was me." Lee lied, attempting to keep both Ben and Carley safe when he knew Lilly was on the verge of killing one of them. "That get you to lay off the kid?"

It did not take Lilly long to see through his lie. She knew one-hundred percent that Lee would never doing anything stupid like that; especially since he had Clementine to take care of. "I think you're capable of being a real piece of shit, but I know it wasn't you. Not with her in your life." Lilly turned towards young Clementine, who was standing by the RV door.

The sound flesh snapping filled the air with silence for a few seconds. Kenny finally managed to pull the walker free but he snapped it's body from it's legs and dragged it away. "THERE, I got 'im."

Now that the walker was free, Ben knew he was out of time. He begged Lilly to just forget about this whole traitor situation and just get back in the RV. "Please, let's just get back in the RV."

"That's not happening." Lilly interrupted, as she moved her hand behind the back of her pants to grab something while she shot an evil glare towards the young teenager.

Kenny finished off the walker by slamming his foot down onto it's head, crushing it's head and killing it once on for all. He walked back towards the others, who were all looking towards him when he was dealing with the walkers, so he could catch up on what was happening. "Now what the fuck's the problem?"

Before anyone could answer, the sound of a gunshot was fired and everyone fell silent. They were shocked as they looked towards Lilly, who was pointing Carley's Glock 17 pistol to where Ben WAS standing, and what they saw next shocked everyone.

Ben was laying motionless on the ground with a bullet mark in between where his left eye was, and blood smearing across the ground. Lilly had shot him without hesitation, thinking that he was the traitor.

Although Lee and everyone was shocked for a few seconds, he swiftly charged towards Lilly like a rampaging bull and gripped her right wrist with his left hand, and slammed her against the RV with his right hand. "DROP IT." he ordered.

Lilly looked towards her hand, slightly regretting what she just did. Nevertheless, she obeyed and dropped the gun from her hand.

Everyone looked down to Ben's corpse, not believing what had just happened. Why would Lilly do this? Why would she just shoot Ben like that? Sure, she may have her suspensions, but there was no need to shoot Ben in cold blood just like that.

"Holy fuck..." Kenny mumbled to himself while he watched Carley kneel down to Ben's corpse to check if he was alive or not before he had his wife shouting for him. She must have heard the gunshot too.

"KENNY, what's happening!?" Katjaa called out from inside the RV, clearly hearing the gunshot from the Glock 17 shoot through her eardrums.

"Keep Duck away from the windows!" Kenny quickly responded towards his wife, not wanting his son to maybe lean through the window and witness what had just happened "Jesus CHRIST!". He hopped over Ben's corpse to stand on the other side of him to confront Lilly of her actions. "GET IN. We're leaving this crazy bitch!"

"He couldn't be trusted, Lee, I swear." Lilly promised, still being held under the group of Lee's strong grip. "Please."

"What are you gonna do, Lee?" Carley asked, although you could clearly tell by her face that she wanted Lilly gone, and that was that. "I say we leave her here!"

"I agree with Carley." Kenny agreed, still keeping his eyes locked on towards the woman he always had an argument with back at the Motor Inn. "I say we leave her for the walkers."

"Why. Why Lilly?" Lee inquired while he tried to figure out if she should be allowed back into the RV again. He thought to himself, what could happen if he took her with them? Would she attempted to kill one of them again? But if he left her behind, would he be any better than her?

Finally, Lee made up his mind his mind, and that was to leave her behind. He could not risk letting her hurt anyone again. If he was to be shot be her, then what would become of Clementine? He released his grip fro her while he looked deep into her eyes with a hateful look. "You're not coming with us."

"I'll die out here." Lilly countered, gesturing her arm towards the road where walkers could be seen walking towards them in the distance.

"I don't care." Lee replied, leaning down and picking up Carley's Glock 17 from the ground.

"You're a murderer, Lilly." Kenny nudged, pointing his finger towards her about what she had just done: committed a murder. "We can't have you with us."

"I'm a murderer?!" You've had Lee with you this whole time!" Lilly reminded, gesturing her hand towards Lee, knowing that he had killed before the zombie apocalypse had began.

"I don't care what he did before." Kenny replied, knowing about Lee's past after he had confessed it back at the Motor Inn to him, Katjaa, Clementine, and Carley (not knowing that she already knew).

"You know?!" Lilly said surprised, realizing that there was nothing else she could possibly say that would let her back into the group.

"Yeah, he told me. I don't give a shit." Kenny answered, before he turned this conversation about murders back over to Lilly. "If we keep you with us, how long until you get ME?"

"I was trying to protect all of us." Lilly added, hoping that her former group would let her back in if you tried to convince them she was just trying to look out for everyone else.

"By killing one of our own!?" Carley said, angry at Lilly that she could just kill her right now after she just shot one of her closet friends like that.

"I don't have anything left." Lilly said, remembering that her dad was he only thing she had left before Kenny dropped a salt lick on his head while she nervously rubbing her left arm with her right hand.

Kenny looked towards her for a few seconds before declaring it was time to go before they would attract any unwanted attention. "Get in, Lee. Let's go you guys."

Carley and Kenny each shot a hateful look towards Lilly before they got back into the RV now that the walker was dealt with. Lee did the same, except it took him a little longer. He looked towards her with a angry face before joining the others in the RV, closing the door behind him.

Lilly watched as her former group drove away into the distance, leaving her all alone in the middle of the road. She did not have long to stay because walkers were closing in around her and she had no choice but to run away in order to survive.

And chapter 1 is completed. Ben and Carley have switched places so Ben was the one who died instead, and Lee lived, giving them both a chance to develop a relationship together. As you know, I did not add the part where Carley calls Lily "A tough bitch" and saying she is just a scared little girl.

Chapter 2 will be here soon and some other things will be changed too apart from Carley living and Ben dying. Stay tuned, and some reviews would be appreciated.
