61 Three Months Later (2/2)

”I don't know how, but that little girl got a pretty fucking powerful ability,” I said with a grin, ”But... it won't save her from a bite... and she still has to learn to precisely control it, so it's not completely overpowered”

”Wait wait wait,” Travis said, ”A little girl can control the air!?”

”Yeah, Clementine... she's a nice kid, a bit too nice to a fault, but she's fucking deadly when it comes to her ability,” I said with a grin, ”She calls herself Tornado Girl... it's cute... but a bit annoying times”

”So... uh, do you think either of us has abilities?” Ben asked.

”Can't really say... it's sort of like the lottery, you can't predict who does and who doesn't get it” I said.

”Okay, that makes sense,” Travis said.

We kept on walking through the woods until we got to the motel.

”We got wounded!” Lee shouted.

”Shit! Get inside!” Lily, who was on watch shouted, as Doug and Carley opened the gates.

”Oh my god, what happened?” Katjaa asked.

”He got caught in a beartrap with no release, so I had to cut his leg off” I answered.

”Get him on the truck, I'll try to save him,” Katjaa said to Lee who was carrying David.

”Alright!” Lee said as he gently placed David on the truck.

”C-can you save him?” Travis asked.

”I don't know, but I'll try as hard as I can,” Katjaa said reassuringly.

”Orochimaru! I'm going to need your help!” Katjaa said.

”My pleasure,” Orochimaru said, as he walked over to Katjaa.

”Hey, do you want to see my drawing?” Clementine asked, as she led the two teenagers away.

”What the hell happened out there!?” Lily asked, ”You know full well that we don't have enough to feed us! And you bring more people here!?”

”What!? Did you expect me to let them fucking die!?” Kenny asked.

”Well, why the fuck not!? It's not like they were carrying groceries with them!” Larry shouted at Kenny.

”Hey Larry, back the fuck off!” I said, as I got in between Larry and Kenny.

”Make me,” Larry said angrily as he made a fist.

”Okay...” I said with a smirk on my face, as I punched Larry in the face and knocked him out.

”D-Dad!” Lily shouted as she ran to her unconscious father, ”What the hell's wrong with you! Hitting an old man!”

”Fuck off, you saw that he was threatening me,” I said angrily.

”Why don't you fuck off! The three of you!” Lily shouted furiously.

”Fine, Lee, Kenny, you know what? Let's go work on the RV” I said, as I looked at Lily with a cocky smirk.

”Now you're speaking my language,” Kenny said happily.

”I'll just... stay out of it, I'll go see if Mark needs any help with the wall,” Lee said as he walked over to Mark.

”So... who do you think we should take with us when we leave?” Kenny asked.

”Hmm... my people are coming obviously... Lee and Clementine because those two are inseparable, Carley because of her skills and ability, Doug, also because of his ability and the fact that he could actually help you with the RV's maintenance... those two kids could be helpful too...” I said.

”Damn man, so you're basically saying to take everyone but Lily and her asshole father? Ha!” Kenny laughed, ”I like the way you're thinking!”

”So... do you think the dude's going to survive?” I asked.

”The guy who got his leg chopped off? Well, I don't know... I mean, I'm no doctor or anything... but, it didn't look exactly... good” Kenny said.

”Yeah, well... it was my first time amputating someone,” I said.

”Alright... fine... hey, can you tell that... Orochi... maru? Guy to stop creeping people out” Kenny asked, ”I mean, it's the fucking apocalypse and that guy's going around creeping the shit out of everyone... sooner or later someone's going to shoot the guy”

”Oh, well... I'll get right on that, after he helps Katjaa out with the legless guy” I said with a smile on my face.

”Ah, alright... hey, can you pass the wrench?” Kenny asked.

”Here you go,” I said, as I passed a wrench over to him.

”Thanks,” Kenny said with a grin.

”Hey guys, do you need some help?” Doug, who just walked up asked.

”Sure, hey Tom can you go check on Katjaa?” Kenny asked.

”Alright,” I said as I walked over to Katjaa who was talking to Lee.

”Hey guys,” I said.

”Oh, hello Thomas” Katjaa said.

”Uh... how is he?” I asked Katjaa as I pointed at the unconscious David.

”...He's dead” Katjaa said.

”Well... fuck, I should tell those kids,” I said with a sombre tone.

”Yeah, you should-” Katjaa said, before getting cut off by an undead David grabbing her from behind.

”What the fuck!?” I shouted, as I pried Katjaa away from the undead David, ”Get the fucking axe!”

When I shouted that, Larry ran towards me, axe in hand.

”Get off of him you son of a bitch!” Larry shouted, as he tried to kill the walker, but he missed and got the axe jammed in the truck ”Fuck!”

I tried to keep the walker away from me with my foot, but I fell off of the truck.

It tried to bite me, but I tried to keep its head away from my neck, as it'd be pretty much an instant death if it bit me there.

”Tom! Get out of the way!” Larry shouted, as he aimed the axe.

”Okay!” I said, as I moved myself out of the way, allowing Larry to cut into the walker's head, killing it.

”Thanks” I said.

”Well, you would've done the same for me... and I actually like you and your friends, I wouldn't want to compromise our relations by letting you die” Larry said as he helped me up off of the ground.

”Those fucks!” Kenny shouted, ”You said he wasn't bitten!”

”He wasn't bitten I swear!” Travis shouted.

”Then why did he fucking get back up from the dead!?” Kenny shouted.

”Y... you guys don't know, do you?” Ben asked, as everyone crowded around him.

”What the hell are you talking about?” Kenny asked.

”I-it's not the bite that does it... you come back, no matter how you die... if you don't destroy the brain, that's just what happens, it's gonna happen to all of us...” Ben said.

”God help us...” Lee muttered.

”It makes sense, those first days... it spread so fast” Mark said.

”Car accidents, suicides... everything was making more of them,” Lily said.

”When I first saw it happen, we were all hiding out in the gym, everybody thought we were finally safe... but one of the girls Jenny Pitcher I think... I guess she couldn't take it, she took some pills... a lot of them, someone went into the girls' room the next morning and... god...” Ben sighed.

Then, all of a sudden we heard some bells ringing behind Doug, it was an alarm he was working on.

”Shit, get down!” I whispered as I crouched down.
