Alternate way of dealing with Kenny and Luke fanfic thingy =3
This is set just after the group escape from Howe's and they all get split up, except there is no parker's run to meet up, so everyone is split up, and lost at that point. Upon where Luke/Kenny/Clem and AJ (Clem has AJ), stumble upon a church with a graveyard in its grounds. Instead of taking shelter in the church, they take up shelter inside a big mausoleum/crypt type place. Of course it is raining and there is thunder (just like in the game). This is going to be good, and how TTG could have dealt with Kenny/Luke (nobody has to die right?)

Losing our way
Kenny "Fuck, its locked. These doors are sealed shut, there's no way in."
Clementine "What about over there?"
Clementine was pointing to a crypt with a narrow entrance which faced the church, it looked perfect, but was it clear of walkers?
Kenny approached the crypt with caution, the wind howling an eerie tune as it whistled through the gaps in the crumbling walls. "This place is perfect, we can see the entrance to the church from in here, so if any of our friends make it here, we will know."
Kenny enters the crypt and scans the place for walkers, closely followed by Luke, Clementine and AJ. They all enter and sit down away from the entrance, but with their line of sight directly looking at the churches front doors.
Luke"You know Kenny, you could have got us all killed screaming like that, it aint right y'know, there aint nothin' none of us could have done, right Clem?"
Clementine "I did what I could, I'm sorry Kenny, it happened too fast."
Kenny "Too fast? So all of a sudden you got slow now huh? Don't give me that bullshit, you could have stopped it Clementine, but you were more concerned for that Sarah than my Sarita."
Clementine "Kenny don't, I just.......I....sigh."
Clem hung her head with tears in her eyes, stroking AJ's face with the back of her hand as he snoozed blisfully unaware of the drama that had unfolded.
Clementine "I think we all need to get some rest, it's been a long day, and we are all exhausted."
Luke "Agreed, one of us needs to watch that entrance for our friends, I'll take first watch."
Kenny "Fine, but don't you go wandering off, or I'll end you, you hear me?, try ANYTHING! and I'll end you."
With that, the exhausted souls all started settling into their surroundings, getting comfortable as Luke started a small fire, to do two things, one, to keep AJ and everyone else warm on this horrible night, and two so that anyone passing close to the church could see the crypt glowing with the warm orange light it radiated.
Clementine could not get to sleep easily, for a good while she would stare at the ceiling replaying the events of the escape in her head. Was she to blame? Could she have saved Sarita? What about Sarah? Where is she now, is she dead? She had no way of knowing how Sarah was or what any of the others were doing, they were lost, horribly lost. How had it come to this?
The wind was fierce and the rain driving into the ground sending water droplets dancing above the ground, with the monotonous soundtrack it produced, little AJ breathing heavily as he slept. How she fell asleep, she does not know, maybe the sound of the rain had hypnotised her into a trance and sent her to sleep, or just the sheer fact that she was exhausted beyond anything she had ever felt before. Clementine was aching head to foot, but sleep eventually took her, just like death takes you eventually.
Luke was watching Clementine and AJ, not concerning himself with Kenny, as he could take care of himself, the warm glow of the fire lighting up their faces like angels in the night. Satisified they were both sound asleep he looked back to the church entrance, nothing had stirred, no sounds of footsteps, nothing. Just wind and rain, the incessant howling of the wind getting louder, the trees in the woods not too far behind the church grounds could be heard rattling against each other, leaves rustling loudly, as the storm raged on.
An hour passed, then another, and another, the storm was getting worse. The wind was so strong the weather vein could be heard spinning on its point, the squeak squeak squeak, akin to that of a crank shaft off the really old cars that had to be started with a handle. The noise was tremendous, so Luke was taking extra care to look for any movement at all, that wasn't trees blustering about or debris flying past, all they needed was to be attacked by walkers now, that would be horrible.
Suddenly a flash lit up the church, its spire rising tall all the way to where a bell once was, it was gone, so Luke assumed this church was either abandoned or in disrepair, or one of those new age churches which replaced the bell with a speaker system. It's stain glassed windows depicting the birth of baby jesus, Luke thought to himself thats hope right there, maybe that's a sign for you AJ buddy.
Luke went over to AJ, slowly and quietly so as not to wake anyone up, to look at his face a little closer. It was a mistake that almost cost him his life.
Kenny "What the fuck are you doing?!"
Luke "wh...."
Kenny jumped up out of his sleeping position landing a punch square in Luke's chest sending him reeling backwards. He stumbled on a paving slab and fell out of the crypt, banging his head hard outside.
bang
The sound of the thunder erupting like a volcano spreading its thunderous echo all around, it must be a fair distance away, as it took a good twelve seconds between the flash and the bang.
Clementine woke with a jolt, like she had had a really bad dream and sat up bolt upright. Where's Kenny? Where's Luke? She glanced over and AJ was still sound out, his chest heaving up and down as he slept.
Kenny "What the fuck were you doing to AJ you prick?!"
Luke "I was just checking on him y'know, making sure he was okay."
Kenny "Yeah sure you were, you think I was born yesterday country boy?"
Kenny dragged Luke to his feet, blood visibly running down his face, wind pulling at his clothes flapping his pants around hopelessly, the rain bouncing off his head before dropping back to earth.
Clementine noticed a shape moving beyond the fire, and then heard Kenny's voice over the wind, dammit.
Clementine "Kenny, STOP!, what are you doing?"
Luke "Kenny, listen to her, I wasn't doing nothin' I swear."
*Kenny *"The fuck you were'nt, you were planning on takin' him weren't you, you shitbird. I told you I would end you if you tried anything."
Kenny punched Luke right in the stomach, the thud was loud as Luke fell to his knees.
Gasping for air, Luke finally managed to speak.
Luke "Kenny stop, we don't need no more drama tonight okay? Just calm down okay? Clem talk some sense into him will ya?"
Flash
The lightning illuminated their surroundings but for a moment. The church appeared to be in the centre of a meadow, which was surrounded by woods. The trees standing tall, like silent spectators to this fracas between friends. The church was old, really old, and looked in need of some desperate TLC, but it was sturdy and still standing. The rain was coming down like a river now, the rain so heavy and loud that it was hard to hear anything at all.
Clementine "Kenny, listen to me for once in your life! STOP IT! We are all that is left, do you want to be responsible for Luke's death?"
Kenny turned to Clementine for a second, his face twisted with rage as he barked
"Don't talk to me about being responsible for death, YOU are just as bad, if not worse, Sarita is dead.....because of YOU!"
Bang
The thunder cracking loudly overhead as Luke tried to take Kenny down so he could restrain him, by kicking behind his knee, he failed.
Kenny lashed out catching Luke in the side of the face, cutting his cheek in the process. A river of crimson spilling out onto his face, immediately diluted by the heavy rain fall.
Luke had no choice but to fight back. Kenny wanted to kill him and this had to stop, now.
" Clem, do something!"
"Kenny please stop, please stop, pleeeeease."
Flash
The trees were still staring, watching, silent witnesses to events that would haunt clementine for the rest of her life.
The churches earthing rod was not there, the metal no longer sitting proud on the top of the church, it had simply disappeared over time, maybe this church really was abandoned.
She pulled the gun from her lower back and cocked it
"please Kenny, please stop, pleeeeeeease stop."
She closed her eyes repeating it over and over, tears streaming down her face as the men continued to trade blows, the wind was dying down, and so was the rain.
BANG
The lightning struck a tree at the edge of the forest an enormous crack and the sound of wood splintering as the tree groaned and protested. With an almighty bang, the tree was felled, split in two right at the top. The noise of the tree falling was horrendous.
Clementine fired her gun, into the air BANG, BANG!
"STOP, Please stop! Stop it! stop it!"
she fell to her knees sobbing and repeating over and over, when finally a hand was laid on her shoulder. She could not bring herself to look up.
Kenny "I'm sorry clem, I just......I......I just lost it, I......"
Clementine looked over to the man lying on he floor, his face covered in blood. The rain had eased off now and the wind had died down to practically nothing. They were in the eye of the storm.
Kenny " I just saw black.........I......I'm sorry clem, I keep forgetting, your just a kid, and I just......"
Clementine stood up, practically ignoring Kenny and walked over to Luke.
Whisps of white came from his mouth, like ghosts haunting this sacred site, it went as soon as it came.
"He's alive, thank god he's alive!"
Luke's chest was heaving up and down, the air so cold you could see his breath.....barely.
Clementine bent down and put her head to Luke's chest, he was breathing and his heart was pumping strong dun dun, dun dun, dun dun.
"Luke? Are you okay? Luke?"
Kenny "I'm sorry clem, I really am. Oh god, why did I have to do this?"
Luke "Clem?"
Clementine hugged Luke so hard he cried out in pain
"Not the face clem, not the face......owwww!"
sitting up, Luke looked like he had done twenty rounds with Mike Tyson. His face was starting to bruise, and the cut on his cheek actually looked worse than it was.
Flash
The light illumaniting the treeline and small meadow around the church once more, revealing several walkers stumbling towards the group.
Clementine stiffened up and the horror on her face was plain as day.
"W...Walkers....AJ!!!"
Luke "Fuck, help me up."
Kenny" Clem, run and get AJ, I've got Luke."
Luke "What the fuck, Kenny?"
Kenny "Listen, you were both right okay, I'm sorry. I snapped, I.....I can't explain it, but it was like it wasn't me, like I was watching it happen from somewhere else."
Luke "So, you expect me to forget it happened?"
Kenny "No, but let me tell you one thing Luke, I aint lettin' no one else die, not if I can help it. AJ is what's important now."
Bang
Clementine ran back into the crypt. Incredibly AJ was still asleep, even after all the noise of the storm, the fighting and the gunshots.
She quickly picked up AJ, cradling him in her arms, holding him closer than ever before.
"Your gonna make it little guy, we are watching over you. All of us will see you right, you'll see. Alvin and Rebecca would be so proud of you. I hope mom, dad and Lee are proud of me, I am doing my best for you, I have to hold everyone together or we will die out here."
Clementine was talking more to herself than AJ, and what she didn't know is that Kenny and Luke heard every word, despite their differences, they exchanged glances, and from that day on, they would do whatever it takes to keep Clem and AJ safe, as she and AJ are mankind's future.
Flash
Kenny "Lets go Clem, we don't wanna be trapped in here."
Luke "Yeah, lets go slowcoach, whats keeping ya, you'd think you had to pick everybodies gear up or something"
Clementine shot Luke a glare that only Clem could produce.
Luke "Okay was just saying. We gotta move"
She quickly put the fire out with some water and picked up her belongings.
They all hurried out of the crypt and disappeared into the woods like ghosts.
Bang.
The personalities aren't accurate. I don't like how it's all forced.
and more... :l
I found that way more entertaining than Kenny vs Jane. Take my like, bro.
But seriously after Episode 2 I was always hoping those two would get into a little punch up where Kenny lost it over something and Luke was trying to defend himself rather than provoke him; I never imagined it to the level of somebody dying over hiding a baby, just...I guess like this! ;_; you did a very nice job. There's a few things here and there but I'll talk about them in the PM later. You definitely got skills for writing dude
You know there should be a thread like this, 'write your own alternate showdown fight with whoever' why is this NOT a thing?
Just so you all know this is here for your comments to help improve it as it is a first draft. Staying in character is not my strong point, and is why I don't write, even though I would like to think that I describe the scene well.
With a little help from my fwiends, this could be a solid scene eventually
thunder and lightning
I personally liked the flashes and bangs it made the scene mor epic in my imagination
you should defenetly wright more like this
Thanks for the comments, and this is a writing in progress. I have fleshed out the beginning a little more instead of the quick look and see no walkers bit, and am currently describing the crypt itself. Will be adding more emotional stuff there with the characters thoughts and feelings at the time, so that the events are more organic instead of feeling forced.
Lets just say the post was like the bare bones of the scene, and now I am fleshing it out to become a memorable scene?
sound great im looking forward to it XD
