The Walking Dead: Fight for Survival

Chapter 1: the journey to Wellington.

The sun was covered up from the clouds of the sky, sending cold weather all across the country. The undead walkers, however, were not affected by this morning, and continued to walk into nowhere, looking for anything alive that they could devour into.

Down below in the middle of the Carolina woods, the couple Lee Everett and his girlfriend Carley with their adoptive daughter, Clementine walked through the woods as they carefully tried to avoid any walkers or any people that may try to rob them.

It had been two years since the events of Savannah and ever since then; the trio had stuck together like a family and looked out for one and other. They had been going place to place for safety and one day came across a bitten person, who told them about a place called Wellington before he died, and Wellington was supposed to be a safe zone.

Lee did not look that much different over the couple of years. His facial hairs had grown a little more and he store wore the same purple shirt and wore dark blue jeans very familiar ones he wore when all this began.

Carley did not look so much different either. She still wore the same purple coat with a green shirt and blue jeans. Her hair has grown a little longer but her height did not seem to grow much either.

As for Clementine, she looked completely different over the two years. She now wore a long white shirt with a purple t-shirt over it; she wore grey pants, and still had the same hat her dad gave her. Her skin color had got darker, and now she had her hair cut short with the loose ends tied into two separate ends.

The trio continued walking through the woods with Lee leading the way the entire way. All they had to defend themselves were Carley's Glock 17 she always carried with her and Lee carried Browning Automatic Rifle Safari strapped onto his back.

"Everyone alright?" Lee inquired, scanning the area for any walkers that may be lurking around.

"Yeah, we're fine." Carley assured, looking down towards Clementine who had been silent since they woke up this morning from the camp. "You okay, Clementine?"

Clementine did not answer her question and continued following Lee through the woods. Ever since she witnessed her parents has walkers, whatever child innocence she had in her were gone, and she sometimes felt like she was going to lose all hope for humanity. She may be a little girl, but she had the mind of an adult.

The trio remained silent while they continued their journey through the forest. Hopefully they were able to find some shelter by tonight, otherwise they were going to be in the cold all night and they might not survive without much shelter. But even worse, they knew if you die and the brain is not destroyed, then you will turn into one of them.

Walkers. Walkers were the only thing they feared for the rest of their lives in this God-forsaken world. All of may be slow of course (hence the nickname "Walkers") but they possessed incredible strength, easily capable of breaking down doors, and now that they had pretty much wiped out most of America's population, they out-numbered mankind, and those who survived needed to do anything now just to survive

"Lee, what are we going to do?" Carley asked, breaking the silence while moving her arms around herself in an attempt to keep warm. "Just keep running for the rest of our lives?"

"We'll find somewhere to hold up, I promise." Lee promised while keeping his eyes locked forward as they walked through the woods together.

The sound of a twig breaking shot through Lee's eardrums, loud enough for him to hear, and in an act of panic, he placed his hand up to beckon for the two to halt in their tracks. "Shhhh, quiet. I can hear something."

Carley nodded as she moved her hand into her pocket and held her Glock 17 into the air in case they ran into any unwanted attention. She kept Clementine close to her while her boyfriend investigated the area.

Lee took cover behind a tree, clutching his rifle as tight as he could, and preparing to pull the trigger. He carefully leaned his head over the tree, spotting two figures in the corner of his eye. He turned around fully and aimed his rifle into the area they were in.

Two walkers were crouched upon the ground, eating what use to be a person. The sight and smell of dead corpses caused Lee to groan in disgust, sometimes unable to even look it. He would usually just go around them to save ammunition, but they were blocking the way they were heading and going around them in the grass might not be sure a good idea.

Lee beckoned for the other two to carefully sneak over to him without making any noise. He turned towards Carley to inform her of the situation. "Two walkers blocking our way. We can't shoot them."

"We don't have any melee weapons, Lee." Carley reminded him, at the same time, searching her pockets with her free hand just to be sure.

Clementine took note of what they were saying and pulled out something from her back pocket that she showed Lee. "Lee, I found this back at that camp where that dead dog was. Looks sharp."

Lee raised a slight smile as he accepted the knife into his hand, remembering a couple of years ago to when he first met Clementine and how intelligent she was than to other girls. "Thanks, Clem. Does look useful...Just this knife."

"Yeah, just the knife." Clementine answered, crossing her arms together and glaring over towards the two walkers enjoying their meal. And this caused her to groan in disgust. "Eww."

"Here, Carley. You take this." Lee handed her the knife to stab one of the walkers. After all, he was stronger and was capable of uses his rifle as a melee weapon. "You stab the one on the right. I will get the one the left."

"Go it." Carley agreed, flipping the knife towards the ground rather than facing upwards.

"Clem, you stay here." Lee ordered, turning his rifle around onto the opposite side, wielding it like the axe he use to own back at the motor inn.

Clementine wished Lee did not try and treat her like a little kid anymore. He may have cut her hair, trained her to use a gun, and how to survive, but he still treated her like the little girl he met in that treehouse when all of this started. She crossed her arms as her two guardians advanced on the walkers.

Lee and Carley slowly approached the walkers from behind, their weapons clutched tight in their hands. Upon standing only a couple of feet away from them, Lee and Carley both simultaneously struck their weapons into the two walker's skulls, killing them instantly.

Lee rose up his rifle and strapped it back over across his back. He shifted his attention over to Carley, who was struggling to retrieve her weapon out from the walkers. He encouraged her as she continued to pull as hard as she could with all of her strength. "You can do it, hon'. Just give it a good pull."

Carley nodded while exhaling a deep breath. She gave the knife one more tug, and finally, it came free. She almost fallen over, but Lee was more than happy enough to catch her. "Thanks."

"Alright. We should keep moving." Lee suggested, resuming his marching towards the path they were heading down with his girlfriend and adoptive daughter tagging behind.

Once they were back on the road, the trio remained quiet yet again. Ever since the events of Savannah, the three had always wondered if things could have been different or not. Kenny had offered them to chance to ride with him on that boat, but they allowed Omid and Christa to take their place, and this was a little mistake when Lee knew something the rest of the group didn't...

Christa was pregnant.

Lee knew by multiple hints that were shown during the time he knew them. When they met, Omid and Christa were talking about it before Lee got to the top of the bridge, Omid was really excited when he first met Clementine, and to top it off, Christa had vomited shortly after Lee dug up the grave of the dead dog.

He did not confess this to Clementine or Carley, but it hoped he could when the time was right. All that matters right now is finding somewhere safe for tonight, and then continue their journey to Wellington.

After around an hour of walking through the forest, the trio's luck had finally turned around and they find a place to stay for the night. They had stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of the backwoods of North Carolina. It looked like a great place to hold up for the night, but the question of it being occupied still remained. If it was people, that would be bad, but if it was walkers, than that would be twice as worse.

Lee poke his head over the log they were taking cover behind to see a cabin in the middle of the woods, and it did not look like anyone was home. "It looks empty. Maybe we can hold up there."

Carley crawled towards her boyfriend like an army soldier would, and she too, poke her head over the log to investigate it. She had to admit it looked nice, but she would still prefer a nice condo any day. "Think there's anyone in there?"

"Only one way to find out." Lee admitted, taking his rifle of from his back into his grip. Being as cautious as he could, Lee slowly marched towards the cabin with his rifle holstered.

He made his way over to the nearest window, and being as quiet as a mouse, Lee slowly poke his head up to see through the window, and hopefully, no-one was home. He looked inside to see it was a clean cabin with couches and a few decorations hanging on the walls.

He continued checking the same room again for a moment but could clearly see no-one was home and it was all clear. Lee raised a smile as he began walking back towards Clementine and Carley back near the log. "Hey! Its all clear-"

"Don't move, asshole!"

Lee gasped and swiftly turned around in the quick of an act. He did not have the time to hold up his weapon when six people were standing in front of the cabin and to make things worse, three of them were carrying weapons, each aiming towards Lee.

One of them looked Spanish and wore a checkered shirt, only one of them was a woman and she looked pregnant, one of them was quite big, one of them looked quite old and was aiming a crossbow towards Lee, one of them resembled a lot like Kenny but younger and held a Winchester Model 70 to Lee, and a man in an orange shirt aimed a Glock 17 towards him.

Lee dropped the rifle to the ground and raised his hands in the air in surrender. He hoped they were not like the Save-Lot Bandits or the St. Johns. "Look, I-"

"Who the fuck are you people?!" a man who looked like Kenny but younger inquired, aiming his rifle towards them.

"I didn't come for trouble. Me, my girlfriend, and my daughter were looking for a place to stay. We're sorry." Lee apologized, turning his head around for a moment where he could see Carley and Clementine had surrounded themselves, too, keeping their hands in the air.

"Are you with Carver?!" the pregnant woman inquired, yelling as her friends held them at gunpoint.

"Who the fuck is Carver?!" Lee inquired, arching an eyebrow with his hands still rose in the air.

"We're the ones asking the questions here." the crossbow man said, speaking in a voice that sounded very familiar to Danny St. Johns.

Lee kept his hands raised as the man with the cap and the man in the green coat aimed their weapons at them, obviously demanding answers. "Look, we were just looking for a place to stay. Put the gun down, man."

"Fuck that!" the man with the cap refused.

He continued looking towards each member of the group while keeping his hands rose of course. Lee was unsure what to do and feared for his life if he did not say something soon. He tried to think of a way to explain his actions before any of them even thought about the pulling the trigger.

Lee, Clementine and Carley are back, and now they are trying to make their way to Wellington, but looks like they caught some trouble on the way. As you know, this is a sequel to "only trying to do the right thing" and it ties in with season 2 game.
