I wish I knew what to write lol. I got a good overview in my head
(They get there, they explain situation, Sarah is all like "NO!" Jack's dad is all like "Let's help them!" And Jack agrees with his dad and then Clem sees Kenny and everybody has a disco)
Sounded like you were hostile, though you sorta were on the post itself.
Anyways, it would've been dumb if it was somewhat obvious that Mel… more was gonna commit suicide. I think personally that what i wrote should be enough to notice that she's, basically not alright, though i did write so of course it's gonna be obvious to me. The "no build up" thing was intentional for the element of surprise.
Clem didn't go on an "acid trip", she simply day dreamed, considering she was very depressed, she dreamed about hope.
Also, why did you change your reply from:
I didn't tell you fuck off. Relax, man. To me anyway it didn't make sense, Melody and given no prior inclination to having thoughts of suicide. Sure most people with depression don't tell anyone. But there was no build up, Clem went on a weird acid trip, and when she woke Melody was dead. I'm sorry if you don't like my critique of your work, if you don't agree with it fine. Sorry.

I felt like it was a bit forced here.
And also, WHAT THE FUCK? Just because he would be "as bad as him" (and if i might add, he wouldn't), … morehe doesn't kill him after killing Pascucci? Are you shitting me?
I mean, what happens is just odd, like an example, Steve kills Pas but not Frank, which is the most risky thing anyone can do, what stops Frank from killing Steven? Oh yeah, right, his own stupidity...
Also, i felt like the writing was sorta mixed, it was basically like "BOOM He's dead, walker form gets killed by Bryan, THE END."
Old lord_zasca would be proud. i can see him on the verge of tears while reading this (Computer cleared BTW) chill out. i didnt want pascucci to die but he did.

I just have no idea how to write it lmfao.
Jack approaches the community jail, with his keys and unlocks the cell to Sarah. "Think you can behave yourself any better?" Sarah begins to stare at the ground. "As long as I don't have to go back in that hell hole." Jack smiles, "Well you got good news, you won't have to go back in that hellhole ever again, because if you decide to shoot someone again, you'll be kicked out." Sarah gives Jack a dirty look. "Well I won't have to shoot if-" She is interrupted by the voice of people yelling outside. "What the hell is going on?" Asks Jack. Sarah nods, "Let's go find out."
Frank looks around, "I should have packed some more supplies before I left, Dammit! I'm real hungry." He mumbles to himself. "Meow." Frank looks up, "Huh?" He hears it again. "Meow" "Is that a cat?" Frank tries to locate where he is hearing the meow from when he hears several meows at the same time. He finds 3 kittens behind a tree with a dead cat in front of them.
One of the cats is white and has black spots. "I'll call you Oreo." The second cat was all calico. "I'll name you, Tiger." The third cat was all Black. "I'll call you Cleo." "You guys won't last long out here on your own, come here little fellas," He picks up all three of the cats. They are so small, they all fit into his shirt pocket. "Was that your mamma back there? Poor kitties, i'll take care of you now, no need to worry." Frank walks in the middle of the woods for hours, before he comes across something. "Must of been kids working out here before the Zorks took over." He says as he walks over to a tree house. "We're gonna sleep here tonight, okay kitties?"
Frank falls asleep, in fact it was the longest he has slept in a long time, he is awoken by the sound of the kittens crying. "gruhhhh" The sound of a walker outside the tree house frightens the kittens. "shhh, guys, it's just a Zork, no big deal, just quiet down. We're safe up here." That is when he peeks his head out the tree house. "Ah!" Frank sees the tree house surrounded by Zorks, at least 15 of them. "Okay quiet down, they'll leave on there own, I don't want to shoot them, it'll just attract more of them-" He is interrupted as Tiger goes through the cracked open door, and falls down to the Zorks. "NO!" Frank completely changed his mind from his prior sentence, as he shoots all of the Zorks, but not in time. Tiger had already been eaten. Frank just looks up, and begins to cry. "Come on guys, we gotta get out of here." He says as he leaves the tree house, and heads off on his own again.
Jack approaches the community jail, with his keys and unlocks the cell to Sarah. "Think you can behave yourself any better?" Sarah begins to s… moretare at the ground.

Bryan, Clem, Jeremy & Danielle are running towards the gates.
Jack & Sarah run to the gates, where Jack's Dad is.
"What the fuck is this?" Sarah asks.
"Who cares? That little girl looks like shes bleeding! We gotta help her!" Jack says.
Without warning Jack opens the gates.
"Son! We gotta talk to these people. They could be bad" Jack's dad says.
"They have two little girls with them!" Jack shouts back.
Jack opens the gates and lets the group of 4 in.
"What happened?" Sarah asks cautiously.
"A scrap, the girl's nose is bleeding" Jeremy replies.
"It's true. We're in trouble. Please can you help her?" Bryan asks.
Danielle just scoffs, and Jeremy gives her a look that tells her to shush.
"My..nose isn't broken...Just...bleeding" Clementine says in a blur.
"We gotta help these people" Jack's dad says.
Sarah remains quiet, desperately wanting to say her word but her temper could get the best of her.
"First of all what are your names?" Jack asks.
Jeremy Sighs.
"I'm Jeremy. This is Bryan, the older girl is Danielle and the injured girl is Clementine. Now can you please help her?" Jeremy asks.
"Fine. We'll cover the blood, but we'll have to hear your backstory after, we don't want to deal with a bunch of bandit scouts" Sarah says.
"I'll take the girl to the nurse" Jack says.
"I'm coming with you" Bryan says.
"Come on Clementine" Bryan continues.
Clementine isn't moving. She's not holding her nose, she's just staring ahead. Her previous sad expression stays, but you can see a glimmer of a smirk, of some kind of hope.
A man hobbles round the corner using some crutches, looking at the gate and confrontation that's happening.
"God damn" the man says.
Clementine looks towards the man's leg, before returning to the mans face.
"It's definitely him" Clem says with a worried, optimistic expression as the rest of the group look towards the one-legged man.
"Help!" Bryan Shouts
Bryan, Clem, Jeremy & Danielle are running towards the gates.
Jack & Sarah run to the gates, where Jack's D… moread is.

Clementine's nose still hurts a little, but at least the doctor, Elizabeth, managed to stop it from bleeding. Jeremy and Bryan patiently watch as she carefully tends to Danielle's bloody hand. The doctor said it was broken, so Danielle won't be able to do anything for a long time. Meanwhile, Clementine and Kenny are silently waiting on a bench outside for the rest of their group to leave the camper. She notices Kenny occasionally glancing at her with a confused face and a hint of doubt in the back of his mind. He constantly opens his mouth, not knowing what to say. After witnessing the sight for a few minutes, she decides it's time to finally break the awkward silence.
''So, what happened?'', she hesitantly asks. she looks him in the face as he lets out a sigh of relief. ''Well... A walker got to me, if that's what you mean.'' He points to his fresh stump. The leg of his jeans is tightly knotted around it. ''The amputation hurt like hell. But I'm just glad to be alive.'' Clementine looks down at her feet with an awkward smile. Her mind keeps rushing with images of Danielle's horrifying amputation, and the nauseating sounds of snapping bones.
(Listen to this, trust me: )
She shivers. Spring might have started a week ago but the air is still chilly, and her coat is full of holes. When Kenny notices her shivering he immediately takes off his jacket and hangs it over her shoulders. He pulls the fragile little girl closer to him and hugs her. The warmth of Kenny's body along with his thick winter coat give her a feeling of safety. Clementine finally opens up as her seemingly tough exterior breaks. When she starts sobbing Kenny asks what is wrong.
''It's nothing. I'm just glad to see you again.''
-Ten minutes later-
When the rest of the group finally leaves the large black camper Clementine has fallen asleep with her head on Kenny's lap. They walk over to the two and quietly gesture them to walk with them. Kenny stands and picks up his crutches. Bryan slowly picks her up so she doesn't awaken. The reunited group follows each other to a roomy camper fit for a large family. They all pick a bed and Bryan carefully puts Clementine down on the softest bed. Kenny walks over and kisses her on her cheek before tucking her in and proceeding to sit down by the small table. The rest of the group whispers, discussing many things. Including Kenny's sudden departure and the reasoning behind his stump.
What they don't realize, is that Clementine has been awake ever since they had left their spot at the bench. She silently lays on her soft mattress, listening to what the others have to say. ''I'm just glad to see Clementine again. She's like a daughter to me.'', Kenny says, leaving Clementine with a warm feeling of happiness in her mind. She closes her eyes and immediately falls asleep.
Clementine's nose still hurts a little, but at least the doctor, Elizabeth, managed to stop it from bleeding. Jeremy and Bryan patiently watch… more as she carefully tends to Danielle's bloody hand.

The next morning Clem awakes to the sound of someone knocking on the door. As the group winces Bryan bangs up pointing the gun at the door, fast as lightning, when Kenny puts his hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, mate! It's probably Selma, awaking us for the daily physical training..-". "Ten minutes!" yells Selma's voice, heading to the next group. Bryan slowly lowers his gun with a pissed expression - he hates being awaken by something unforeseen. While the group members stretch themselves Jeremy who looks very sleepy with his messed up hair complains "Jesus Christ, this is like summer camp... can't we just stay in bed, at least a little longer... yawn". His remark is followed by Bryan slapping his back of the head when Kenny starts explaining: "This belongs to our daily routine - staying fit has become the most essential thing for survival... and frankly said I'd do everything to be able to trade with you...". Kenny looks down at his stump and then out of the window - he hasn't gotten used to the looks of it, yet. Jeremy regrets his complaints while Bryan starts to stretch himself. Clem stands up and joins him and they both smile at each other. While the group prepares for the training Kenny notices Danielle staring out of the window with an expression full of hatred, trying to prevent her tears from flowing, so he steps to her resting his hand on her head. "I know how you're feeling, honey...". "This is unfair... I love sports... Used to be the best female pitcher back in school... and now I'm nothing but a cripple, thanks to that bitch..-". "Watch your tone!" yells Bryan when he gets hushed by Kenny. "Listen honey... Thanks to Clementine you're still alive. Besides, noone's excluding us, in fact us "cripples" get some special training." His attempt to cheer her up gets cut off by Danielle's pessimism. "No, thank you.. I'll stay here, leave me alone." While Clem and Bryan look very annoyed Kenny takes a deep breath and continues trying: "Listen, hun... I gotta admit I declined it, too in the beginning.. but I realized that I'd been very lonely and one day I just joined them and, well, what can I say: Thanks to the training I can kick them walker asses better then anyone in here....". "You don't say... Still: The answer is no! Shut up and leave me, alone, OK?". Kenny's grin turns into a serious face now: "Alright, enough chit chattin': This is not a question, not a request... it's duty and you cannot disagree! Everyone has to do it and you're not an exception. So get up on your feet and stop grumbling! You're alive... Jesus Christ.". Danielle looks very astonished and impressed.
2 Mintes later the group leaves the camper, Jeremy, Clem and Bryan going to the right, where a large group of people gathers around Selma, a short latin-american lady, and Kenny and Danielle go to the left, to a small group of 4 people plus Jack waiting for them. "Ready for the training, young lady?" he asks as he pets Danielle's head. She responds with an evil look. Jack smiles at Kenny, "Ummm... Let me think. Where have I seen that kinda face before?". Kenny giggles: "Yeah, right, I know, I know... Btw: I have never thanked you, Jack. I appreciate your help. She'll thank you, too... some day."
"Alright, guys: you are excellent! You're getting better everyday. See you tomorrow!" speaks Jack and the group separates. "So...." says an exhausted Kenny, massaging his leg, "Wasn't that bad, huh? You're pretty good, actually." Danielle unties her chignon, not paying any attention to Kenny. He sighs: "Danielle... The fuck is wrong with you? You've been acting weird!". Danielle now clenches her fist and looks Kenny straight into his eyes: " Me the one acting weird? The FUCK is wrong with you?! You're the one disappearing, without any obvious reason, not telling anyone where you're going and why, abandoning us, joining some strangers... you don't give damn....!". "Woah, steady...". "You said Clementine was your daughter... did you know she was crying after you? Every - fucking - night. You're such a great dad, aren't you. And such a great friend, indeed. By the way, speaking of friends. Haven't you noticed there were more of us? Have you forgotten, yet or doesn't it matter to you?!". Kenny just stands there, absorbing Danielle's accusations when he starts to shiver. Eventually he speaks: "Of course I know that Pascucci, Gus and Melody are missing, I'm not ignorant. It's just.... I am afraid I wouldn't stand the reasons. I've been waiting for you to tell me...". Danielle gives him an evil grin. "Well, I'll tell you: they're all dead, because of you!". You're best pal went after you and has become a walker. Everything turned into shit when you left! Melody left us by shooting herself a bullet into the head. What else... Oh, right: And you caused me becoming a cripple. Thanks for that. Still in mood for daily excercises?! Now excuse me and get out of my sight....". Danielle leaves the scene and Kenny falls to the ground, crying. The whole time Jack has been observing it from the distance and now drags him up. "Come on, Ken. You need some rest, let's go..."
Very well done and I am glad it hasn't gotten too late for me to write.
One question: how large is the settlement? How many people? Like 20-50? Less? More?
Well, then: Welcome. We appreciate if you read the whole story, at least the summary on page 26 and the following pages. Otherwise there might be lots of continuity errors.
Am I the only one starting to think there will be a argument between Kenny and Bryan regarding Clementine? "She's my little girl." Bryan yells, "You left her to die by leaving that cabin."
Sarah approaches jacks dad. "Hey, John! Wait up. I uh, just wanted to apologize for my rudeness lately." John slowly speaks. "What's with the sudden attitude change?" Sarah sighs, "And what makes you think i'm not just trying to be nice."..."The way I see it you want another strike so you don't get kicked out. " Sarah laughs. "You really think I want to stay here that long? Wow old man, how stupid can you be?" John also laughs, "If your that anxious to leave then why don't you?" Sarah stares straight into the bright center of his old, powerful soul. "Bitch! I came over here trying to apologize! Now i'm practically being forced to leave! Wow man! You've got issues! Thanks to you I am leaving, and I ain't fucking around. Dead, fucking serious. I'll be gone tomorrow morning. Oh and just as a goodbye, FUCK YOU OLD MAN!"
"Kenny, it's alright man, just ignore her shes just trying to get you upset.-" ("Yelling coming from the outside") "Are you kidding me? If that's Sarah arguing again, i'm going to kill her." Kenny stops crying and looks up. "Your going to what?" "Kenny I was kidding. You sure you feeling alright? I'll be right back, you should really consider going to sleep."
"Sarah, what is it this time?" Sarah has begun to cry. "It's-it's nothing. Just nothing." Jack smiles, "I know when somethings something now talk to me what's wrong?" Sarah pushes him out of her way, and walks back to her camper. "Sarah, wait come back!" Sarah returns to her trailer. "Dear diary, I really wish i could admit my feelings to Jack, I've never been good at telling people how I feel. Sigh, oh well I will leave this book here for, hopefully Jack to find. Anyway if you do find this, i'm leaving, and not coming back. You can thank your asswhole of a dad. Goodbye." Sarah writes the last lines in her now full diary. She mumbles aloud. "I'm gonna miss this place." She takes some food and water, and puts it in a backpack before she leaves the premises of the settlement.
"Don't worry you precious kitties! We just gotta keep running, can't let the big bad Zorks bother you can we?" Frank stands still for a moment. "Am I losing my mind? Practically talking to myself, do you guys think i'm crazy?" The cat's almost seem to nod at him. "Sigh, that's what I thought." He was about to take off running again, when he hears something coming from the bushes. "Guy's stay quiet." Frank says before he investigates the bush.....
Sarah approaches jacks dad. "Hey, John! Wait up. I uh, just wanted to apologize for my rudeness lately." John slowly speaks. "What's with the… more sudden attitude change?" Sarah sighs, "And what makes you think i'm not just trying to be nice."..."The way I see it you want another strike so you don't get kicked out. " Sarah laughs. "You really think I want to stay here that long? Wow old man, how stupid can you be?" John also laughs, "If your that anxious to leave then why don't you?"

Adding even more realism to a zombie apocalypse yay
I wish I knew what to write lol. I got a good overview in my head
(They get there, they explain situation, Sarah is all like "NO!" Jack's dad is all like "Let's help them!" And Jack agrees with his dad and then Clem sees Kenny and everybody has a disco)
I just have no idea how to write it lmfao.
'I want to either glass her or salt lick her"
Why not have both?
I wanted to take back what I said. Thanks to the glory of the internet, I edited my post.
I tried to show that Frank isn't the kind of survivor that will kill another person, even if he had killed his friend.
Steve killed Pas but not Frank, because he knew Frank would do nothing about it, and he could trust Frank a lot more then he could Pascucci.
Happy i brought her into the story
.
Old lord_zasca would be proud. i can see him on the verge of tears while reading this (Computer cleared BTW) chill out. i didnt want pascucci to die but he did.
I wasn't mad about Pascucci.
"I thought you were dead."
Although, on second thought, they have no reason to think he is... JUST LET ME DREAM!
It's been quiet.
Today's my boyfriends birthday, so better don't expect anything from my side, at least not today.
I suppose i'll go.

I love how he shoots all zombies over the loss of a kitten he just met. Good post though!
"Help!" Bryan Shouts
Bryan, Clem, Jeremy & Danielle are running towards the gates.
Jack & Sarah run to the gates, where Jack's Dad is.

The 'stache is back!

I will write in a bit, please don't write before i do.
Hope I'll get some time to write today
Clementine's nose still hurts a little, but at least the doctor, Elizabeth, managed to stop it from bleeding. Jeremy and Bryan patiently watch as she carefully tends to Danielle's bloody hand. The doctor said it was broken, so Danielle won't be able to do anything for a long time.

After witnessing the sight for a few minutes, she decides it's time to finally break the awkward silence.
''So, what happened?'', she hesitantly asks. she looks him in the face as he lets out a sigh of relief. ''Well... A walker got to me, if that's what you mean.'' He points to his fresh stump.

Her mind keeps rushing with images of Danielle's horrifying amputation, and the nauseating sounds of snapping bones.

While the group prepares for the training Kenny notices Danielle staring out of the window with an expression full of hatred, trying to prevent her tears from flowing, so he steps to her resting his hand on her head. "I know how you're feeling, honey...". "This is unfair... I love sports... Used to be the best female pitcher back in school... and now I'm nothing but a cripple, thanks to that bitch..-". "Watch your tone!" yells Bryan when he gets hushed by Kenny. "Listen honey... Thanks to Clementine you're still alive. Besides, noone's excluding us, in fact us "cripples" get some special training." His attempt to cheer her up gets cut off by Danielle's pessimism. "No, thank you.. I'll stay here, leave me alone." While Clem and Bryan look very annoyed Kenny takes a deep breath and continues trying: "Listen, hun... I gotta admit I declined it, too in the beginning.. but I realized that I'd been very lonely and one day I just joined them and, well, what can I say: Thanks to the training I can kick them walker asses better then anyone in here....". "You don't say... Still: The answer is no! Shut up and leave me, alone, OK?". Kenny's grin turns into a serious face now: "Alright, enough chit chattin': This is not a question, not a request... it's duty and you cannot disagree! Everyone has to do it and you're not an exception. So get up on your feet and stop grumbling! You're alive... Jesus Christ.". Danielle looks very astonished and impressed.
2 Mintes later the group leaves the camper, Jeremy, Clem and Bryan going to the right, where a large group of people gathers around Selma, a short latin-american lady, and Kenny and Danielle go to the left, to a small group of 4 people plus Jack waiting for them. "Ready for the training, young lady?" he asks as he pets Danielle's head. She responds with an evil look. Jack smiles at Kenny, "Ummm... Let me think. Where have I seen that kinda face before?". Kenny giggles: "Yeah, right, I know, I know... Btw: I have never thanked you, Jack. I appreciate your help. She'll thank you, too... some day."
"Alright, guys: you are excellent! You're getting better everyday. See you tomorrow!" speaks Jack and the group separates. "So...." says an exhausted Kenny, massaging his leg, "Wasn't that bad, huh? You're pretty good, actually." Danielle unties her chignon, not paying any attention to Kenny. He sighs: "Danielle... The fuck is wrong with you? You've been acting weird!". Danielle now clenches her fist and looks Kenny straight into his eyes: " Me the one acting weird? The FUCK is wrong with you?! You're the one disappearing, without any obvious reason, not telling anyone where you're going and why, abandoning us, joining some strangers... you don't give damn....!". "Woah, steady...". "You said Clementine was your daughter... did you know she was crying after you? Every - fucking - night. You're such a great dad, aren't you. And such a great friend, indeed. By the way, speaking of friends. Haven't you noticed there were more of us? Have you forgotten, yet or doesn't it matter to you?!". Kenny just stands there, absorbing Danielle's accusations when he starts to shiver. Eventually he speaks: "Of course I know that Pascucci, Gus and Melody are missing, I'm not ignorant. It's just.... I am afraid I wouldn't stand the reasons. I've been waiting for you to tell me...". Danielle gives him an evil grin. "Well, I'll tell you: they're all dead, because of you!". You're best pal went after you and has become a walker. Everything turned into shit when you left! Melody left us by shooting herself a bullet into the head. What else... Oh, right: And you caused me becoming a cripple. Thanks for that. Still in mood for daily excercises?! Now excuse me and get out of my sight....". Danielle leaves the scene and Kenny falls to the ground, crying. The whole time Jack has been observing it from the distance and now drags him up. "Come on, Ken. You need some rest, let's go..."
Very well done and I am glad it hasn't gotten too late for me to write.
One question: how large is the settlement? How many people? Like 20-50? Less? More?
I'm trying to find a place to jump in.
Hi, you seem to be new here. Have you read the whole story, yet?
Not as new as just:Haven't been on in forever.
And no, I've only read the last 2 pages.
I'd say there's a good 25 to 30 people.
Well, then: Welcome. We appreciate if you read the whole story, at least the summary on page 26 and the following pages. Otherwise there might be lots of continuity errors.
I would SERIOUSLY recommend reading it all. You'll understand the story a lot better.
Yes, absolutely. And besides we use a lot of references to past events
I just realized... Nobody told Kenny about Pascucci, right?
True.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I assumed that would be his first question when he saw him missing.
Am I the only one starting to think there will be a argument between Kenny and Bryan regarding Clementine? "She's my little girl." Bryan yells, "You left her to die by leaving that cabin."
Alright, I'll solve this, editing my post
Edited my latest post
Sarah approaches jacks dad. "Hey, John! Wait up. I uh, just wanted to apologize for my rudeness lately." John slowly speaks. "What's with the sudden attitude change?" Sarah sighs, "And what makes you think i'm not just trying to be nice."..."The way I see it you want another strike so you don't get kicked out. " Sarah laughs. "You really think I want to stay here that long? Wow old man, how stupid can you be?" John also laughs, "If your that anxious to leave then why don't you?" Sarah stares straight into the bright center of his old, powerful soul. "Bitch! I came over here trying to apologize! Now i'm practically being forced to leave! Wow man! You've got issues! Thanks to you I am leaving, and I ain't fucking around. Dead, fucking serious. I'll be gone tomorrow morning. Oh and just as a goodbye, FUCK YOU OLD MAN!"
"Kenny, it's alright man, just ignore her shes just trying to get you upset.-" ("Yelling coming from the outside") "Are you kidding me? If that's Sarah arguing again, i'm going to kill her." Kenny stops crying and looks up. "Your going to what?" "Kenny I was kidding. You sure you feeling alright? I'll be right back, you should really consider going to sleep."
"Sarah, what is it this time?" Sarah has begun to cry. "It's-it's nothing. Just nothing." Jack smiles, "I know when somethings something now talk to me what's wrong?" Sarah pushes him out of her way, and walks back to her camper. "Sarah, wait come back!" Sarah returns to her trailer. "Dear diary, I really wish i could admit my feelings to Jack, I've never been good at telling people how I feel. Sigh, oh well I will leave this book here for, hopefully Jack to find. Anyway if you do find this, i'm leaving, and not coming back. You can thank your asswhole of a dad. Goodbye." Sarah writes the last lines in her now full diary. She mumbles aloud. "I'm gonna miss this place." She takes some food and water, and puts it in a backpack before she leaves the premises of the settlement.
"Don't worry you precious kitties! We just gotta keep running, can't let the big bad Zorks bother you can we?" Frank stands still for a moment. "Am I losing my mind? Practically talking to myself, do you guys think i'm crazy?" The cat's almost seem to nod at him. "Sigh, that's what I thought." He was about to take off running again, when he hears something coming from the bushes. "Guy's stay quiet." Frank says before he investigates the bush.....
