...Clementine quickly searchs the car and finds a bootle of whisky, wich she gives Omid, but no first aid kit. She also finds a gun under her seat without anyone noticing, but what to do? give it to omid, give it to Kenny or keep it?...
... She decides to keep it and secretly hides the gun in her hoodie. "Come into the car, quick!" Kenny shouts, then suddenly the boy repeats himself: "I said wait!!" pointing a rifle at Kenny's face "You must take me with you - now! Into the car!" when in the twinkling of an eye noises of a shooting are coming from the direction where the lights come from...
... Kenny gets in the driver's seat and quickly drives away. Two shoots hit the car, destroying the left-view mirror of, what makes the boy jump to bacjk of the truck and shoot at the lights. Omid is too worried about Christa and Kenny is too worried about not hiting a tree to notice the cold emotionless expression on the kid's face as he returns inside the truck, but Clem does. "So what's your name?" she answers, "Charlie" he replied, "and what were you doing alone in the woods?", "I was apart of the group you just saw... We had a settlement, food, protection...", Kenny interrupet angered "If they are SOOO great, why did you pointed that thing in my face so we would take you?". The kid looked with an evil look to kid and replied "they trained us and then selected who belonged in the group by making us fight each other...", "and you didn't longed?", "No, I did, that's the problem...". Everyone was intrigued about that kid, but Kenny focused on the road and Clem just went to check on Christa...
...So they drove relentlessly, even though the pursuers lost track of them a few streets ago. Kenny said:"The last thing we need now is getting our guards down"as he peeks anxiously at the slow but intimidating decreasing fuel level "if we drive just fast enough, far enough, to somewhere, we might be able to find something that can help us to get out of this f***ed up place, and by that I mean getting on a boat or something" The rest watched him and thought that he lost his old self. While Clem stares at the side of the car as Kenny drove right past a living being , ignoring the sounds of his hoarse voice screaming help...
Kenny pauses for a moment, looks down and begins to speak, " I just kept going you know, every time I'd kill one there'd be another right behind it, so I fought like hell to get out a there, I was lucky sometimes I think I was to lucky" Kenny pulls his hat down covering his eyes from the group.
" I herd lee over say that he wanted me to look after Clem, so I sure as hell wasn't letting lee down". The mention of lee makes a tear fall onto Clem's cheek.........
"okay then" Kenny says " lets let clem choose."
"Im sorry omid and christa but ive known Kenny longer and lee trusted him so I should to". clem said her voice small.
They hit a deer and the car struggles. Kenny succeeds in getting the car back on track. "Everybody alright?" They nod. "I reckon this vehicle won't make it far" Kenny continues. Omid checks Christa, but she is still unconscious "I have cleaned up her wound and taped it but we should really find medicine asap, otherwise she won't make it." Kenny and Clem share a worried look, when Charlie interrupts them: "there are two options where you can get some medicine: first is an abandoned retirement home, where my grandma lived - unfortunately it is flooded with walkers. Second is the settlement were I come from. They have everything, lots of supplies, but the people there are crazy." Kenny replies "you talk like a grownup, young man"...
''This world has required me to grow up faster then any kid should ever have to, I bet the girl knows all about it'' Charlie replies. Clem feels tears welling up, and looks away from Charlie's serious, worried-looking face.
Everyone sits quietly for the rest of the ride, listening to Clem's sobbing and Omid's worried and panicky breath until they finally arrive at the abandoned retirement home/ Charlie's settlement
Clem says, that they should go to the abandoned retirement home, because crazy humans are more dangerous. Kenny thinks a bit about it and then he says: " Alright little girl, I hope your right with this. " Then they went inside...
This thread refreshed my memory on why I hate Kenny.
Forcing his decisions on everyone, taking charge as if he's the leader and being a general douche for the sake of it.
Thanks guys.
As the group step inside, a gunshot fires. Kenny falls down, having been shot in the thigh. Lily steps out holding her pistol, before darting passed the group and to their truck.

and you're welcome to take it as a compliment also.
You portray the character perfectly, as exactly as they are and not like
"KENNY IS AN IMMORTAL ZEN WARRIROR WHO CAN NEVER BE BEATEN AND HAS TITANIUM SKIN AND THE CHARM OF TOM BAKER"
Everyone then stares at Lilly for a sec and Kenny is about to yell something when a small voice says "go away" it was clem, she didn't want the person who had killed Carly with them, although she was glad she shot Kenny it wasn't enough to forgive her, Clem keeps saying it her voice growing more demanding and Lilly...
( AH AH again really? :P ok I'll just go on)... She tries to get the truck running but unfortunely for her Kenny had the keys and Christa was … morein the back seat and grabs her. She tries to release herself but Clem quickly runs to the truck and shots Lilly in the leg. Charlie, Omid and kenny (helped by Omid) return to the truck "YOU AGAIN?" says kenny "YOU CRAZY B*TCH, WE SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE!!". "you know her?" asks Christa not letting her go, "Yes she was in the same group as me my family, Clem and Lee" responds kenny before Clem sobbing "she killed Carley/Doug (whatever)". The shot attracted the walkers in the abbandoned retirement home and they start surronding the group. "We have got to get out of here" says Chrlie before shooting a walker in the head with his rifle, "what do we do with her" - asks Christa, "LEAVE HER!!" yells Kenny, "But I have medicine and fodd, take me with you and I'll share it!!" - yells Lilly scro… [view original content]

What do you do? LEAVE HER (don't trust her) / TAKE HER WITH YOU (trust her)
Even though her feelings on Kenny were completly mixed he was right with this decision, "Leave her" Clementine said "She killed Carly/Dug she can't be trusted." Lilly doesn't say anything but runs up to Kenny kicks him takes the keys and points her gun toward him. She slowly backs up and gets in the truck and leaves the group and the long dusty road all on their own, there wasn't a walker, person, or means for transportation anywhere, and now they had to wounded a decision needs to be made but what...

... Suddendly the rest of the walkers in the retirement start surronding the group, and Omid grabs Christa in his arms and the five start running into the woods. As Omid (carrying Christa) and Kenny (wounded in the tigh) start slowing down their steps from the effort, Clem and Charlie grab their guns and shoot a lot of walkers before they run out of ammo. They seem lost until Christa spots a ranger cabin (The tall ones that are used to spot fires, sorry I'm not from the USA I only saw them in movies), "We should go there and wait for them to go awway..." says Omid, Kenny was about so respond when a walkers almost gets Charlie and they quickly get to it, the five climb it (Christa on Omid's back). They get up there and look as the walkers surrond the cabin (but they can't climb, so it's ok). As soon as they get there Kenny screams "Clem, if you had that gun why didn't you shoot that b*tch?", Christa gets in the middle of the discussion and says "She's just a kid... And Who made you the leader? We don't even know where you've been, you just showed up out of nowehere, where the hell have you been?"...
"Yeah exactly" Omid intervenes "We found you in the middle of nowhere, where the military people were shooting at something. Have you met these guys? And how did you get out of Savannah anyway?..." Charlie interrupts him: "we should get out of here. The people from my old settlement use to visit these ranger cabins, when they go for a multi-day hunt. You really don't want to meet those people unarmed." "You're right, kid" Kenny agrees, "we discuss it later - let's take a hike. I am starting to like you kid. How old are you? Seven?" "He's eight" The group startles. A man stands in the door frame holding a Machete. Clem secretly takes a look out of the window - the walkers are all finished off! "You..." Charlie responds, with a hateful stare
Not continuing the story. So, just a quick question about earlier in the thread where I posted a bit where Clem remembers Lee's words. I decided "Never let yourself get trapped." was what he said. Now, I just want to know if everyone is cool with putting a bunch of Season 1 choices into the story, because obviously people are going to have different memories of what Lee said/did. There may, as such, be discrepancies that pop up ever so often. For example, somewhere up there Carley was mentioned, while I had saved Doug in my game. So I suggest we either deal with few issues which rely on previous choices or make them minor. That is all. Continue questing!
Continuing Story:
The machete-wielding man walks into the cabin. He takes a quick look around, surveying the group. His eyes pause on Clementine. Sweat pours down Clementine's face. Who is this person? Did he kill the walkers? He's just one man. How does Charlie know him? Why is he staring at me?
Clementine's thoughts are interrupted by Charlie's voice.
"I'm not going back! You hear me?"
The man made no expression. He responded in a cold, unfeeling tone:
"You can't survive out there on your own. You know that, better than all of us."
Charlie bites his lip. He begins to talk back, but Kenny interrupts him. "Who are you? What are you doing here? I want answers, now." The man chuckles, evidently amused by this. He gestures to Christa, and then to Kenny's leg. "You are hardly in a position to make demands. You have three wounded, two children with no ammo left in their guns, and no where to go. I have food, medicine, and weapons. You don't. So I suggest you take care in how you speak to me."
Charlie steps back. "Don't trust him!", he says. Something in his eyes glinted. Clementine realized they were tears.
Christa begins to speak, but passes out, either from exhaustion, or worse, from blood loss. Omid puts her down. "Oh crap! Chris, you okay? Come on, talk to me!" Christa shifts, but remains unconscious. "Kenny, we gotta do something!"
The man, ignoring Charlie, begins to speak. "Look, I have all day, but seeing your condition, you don't. Make up your mind, quick."
Clementine's mind races. Kenny might make it, but Christa won't, not like this. He even saved us. He might not be too bad. She looked at Charlie, who was seething. Charlie doesn't seem to like him, though. What if this person is with those guys trying to shoot us?
What do you do? (Choose your option):
Ask the others for their opinion | Agree to come | Disagree | Say nothing
1. Ask the others for their opinion:
"What do you guys think?"
Omid is the first to speak. "Look, I don't know much about groups, but I know Christa wont make it through this without help. I'm going, whether you are or not."
Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie continues to back away.
The man says nothing, just nods.
Kenny looks at his leg, then at Clementine. He begins to speak... -Continue from here-
2. Agree to come:
I don't think we have a choice. Clementine looks at Christa's stump of a leg, and then the man. "I think we should go..."
Omid and Charlie take notice of that.
Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie continues to back away. Omid nods. "Yeah, Clementine's right. Christa wont make it through this without help, and he saved us, didn't he?." Charlie is shocked.
Kenny looks at his leg, then at Clementine. He begins to speak... -Continue from here-
3. Disagree:
What if they turn out like the St. Johns? Clementine shudders, as the memories flood back. "I don't think we should go..."
Charlie and Omid take notice of that.
Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie steps closer to Clem.
"Yeah, the little girl's right. This guy is nothing but trouble, trust me."
Omid is getting impatient. "How can we trust you? At least this guy saved us! You haven't helped at all! Christa wont make it through this without help, and he's all we have! I'm going!"
The man seems slightly amused by the fighting.
Kenny looks at Christa, then at Clementine. He begins to speak... -Continue from here-
4. Say nothing
Omid is the first to speak. "Look, I don't know much about groups, but I know Christa wont make it through this without help. I'm going, whether you are or not."
Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie continues to back away. Clementine looks at the others
The man nods. "What about the rest of you? Time's a wasting." He looks at Clementine. "What about you, little girl?"
Clementine starts, but Kenny cuts her off. He begins to speak... -Continue from here-

Thanks, both of you. I think I have to slip in some more fluff, though. It reads a bit too fast. Not enough gap between the dialogue. I hope it's okay to put the choices like this. I mean, something I noticed with TTD was a lot of decisions didn't necessarily sway people's minds. Clem, being as young as she is, gets even lesser say in things than Lee does. I thought adding a little exposition to the choices would help in letting people know that what they decide will not necessarily change what other characters feel.

Clem looks into Charlies eyes again, seeing they are filled with tears. "I disagree" she says with a voice full of confidence,"I don't think we should go."
Charlie and Omid take notice of that. Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie steps closer to Clem. "Yeah, the little girl's right. This guy is nothing but trouble, trust me." Omid is getting impatient. "How can we trust you? At least this guy saved us! You haven't helped at all! Christa wont make it through this without help, and he's all we have! I'm going!" The man seems slightly amused by the fighting. Kenny looks at Christa, then at Clementine. He begins to speak...
"Before I make up my mind" so he speaks "I need to know EVERYTHING about this settlement you want to take us to - every fucking detail! This young man doesn't seem to be fond of you, you know... What is it he's afraid of." The man wearing a military outfit grins and says: "Ok, redneck, listen: here's the deal:" ...
"were the remaining survivors of a town that was once called Crawford, were building a new town up about twenty miles back" the man says. " you fight and follow orders you live, you don't you die!"
" No weve seen Crawford! and that place was messed up, what kind of place doesn't let children live, anybody sick!" Kenny begins to yell attracting more walkers.
"like it or not you folks wont survive without our help"
" we have survived this long well make it" clem looked down at the ground as she spoke
"Doesn't make sense - Why would you want to take Charlie with you? He is a kid, too. I don't want to go with you either way." Omid looks worried at Christas leg, saying "Clemmy is right. Does not make any sense at all." Charlie says: "...
''I am NOT going back to that place, after all the things they did to me, my brothers, my sister and my...'' Charlie looks away, obviously trying to hide his tears. ''We've changed'', the man says, ''We now rely on the people we used to kick out of Crawford. Especially children, we need them.''
Omid takes a quick glance at Christa, and realizes that it might not be safe. ''She's pregnant'' Omid says.
The group reacts...
... "I kind off knew it..." says Kenny as Clem doesn't know if she should be happy or sad because of the situation... Charlie quickly answers "That's another reason not to go, they teach kid how to fight and then make us fight each other like gladiators, the one who survives gets to stay... you made me kill my own brother!!", "We didn't made you kill anyone... You did it because you had to do it to survive, and that's what we teach you, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to survive, we are breeding the next generation of humans and we are making sure they are able to survive in this world!! It's Natural selection!! Survival of the fittest!! Don't you want your kid to learn how to kill and survive?!?!" Responds the man with a crazed look on his face. "What? are you crazy? I want him to survive but not like a mad man!!" yells Omid. "So I'm guessing you made your choice... You are the weak ones, the ones that will not be able to survive the test the world given us... I won't kill you because the dead will... Just leave before morning before the scouts come cleaning this area...". The man climbs down the stairs and kills 4 walkers before Charlie points is rifle at him "I'm going to solve this right now...", Kenny just looks and does nothing as Omid doesn't even notices it being focused in Christa, what does Clem do?
"Charlie, don't!" she whispers, holding his shoulder and having a scared look on her face. "They will hunt us! We don't have a car - pleaaaase..." "I left one single bullet for this very moment. He killed my mommy, shot her in the head, right infront of the community, just to earn respect, only to scare us. He is a bad person - leave me alone!' He replies, and Clementine does not have any doubts that he speaks the truth. She remembers Lee's words. Lee killed a bad person, too. But it isn't what her mother Diana taught her. Suddenly ...
COMMENT: Maybe @Somguye could be so nice to make a rough summary of the story so far, for newcomers as well as for the writers so we can look it up to avoid contradictions, posting it in the head of this thread. What do you think? edit: of course I can make a summary as well, not a native english speaker, though
Might be a good idea. We could also cut all these posts up in different ''episodes'' and make a plot summary whenever an episode ends. It will all be in this forum, but there might be some more structure that way.

''Charlie, you know the gunshot will attract walkers, it's not safe.'' Clementine whispers. ''Just give me the rifle, you don't have to do this.'' Charlie keeps staring into the scope of his rifle, tears rolling down from his eyes. ''You're wrong'', Charlie whispers right before pulling the trigger and leaving the unnamed man laying on the ground with a hole right in the back of his head.
His action is quickly followed by the loud growls of hungry walkers. ''What the hell, Charlie!'', Kenny yells, ''We need to get out of here, RIGHT NOW!''. Clementine pulls Charlie away from the window while Kenny helps Omid to carry Christa, who is now able to stand nearly upright.
''I'm not going to make it'', Christa gasps, ''You need to leave me.'' Omid reacts fiercely, ''Come on Christa, you and the baby don't deserve to get eaten by those goddamned monsters!''
Tell Omid to let Christa go/ Tell Omid to keep carrying Christa/ Remain silent

While Clem stares at the side of the car as Kenny drove right past a living being , ignoring the sounds of his hoarse voice screaming help...
"How did you get out of the alley / the roof, anyway?" Omid asks Kenny {How did Kenny survive? Invent a scenario for 1. rooftop as well as 2. alley}
Kenny pauses for a moment, looks down and begins to speak, " I just kept going you know, every time I'd kill one there'd be another right behind it, so I fought like hell to get out a there, I was lucky sometimes I think I was to lucky" Kenny pulls his hat down covering his eyes from the group.
" I herd lee over say that he wanted me to look after Clem, so I sure as hell wasn't letting lee down". The mention of lee makes a tear fall onto Clem's cheek.........
"No way!" Omid replies: "Lee told us WE, Christa and I, should look after her, being her new family!"
Was too late, story carries on in the next post (mine haha)
"okay then" Kenny says " lets let clem choose."
"Im sorry omid and christa but ive known Kenny longer and lee trusted him so I should to". clem said her voice small.
''But on the other hand...'' Clem hesitated, ''Maybe---'' Clementine screamed in fear, the car hit something. '' Oh, god. OH GOD.'' Omid exclaimed.
They hit a deer and the car struggles. Kenny succeeds in getting the car back on track. "Everybody alright?" They nod. "I reckon this vehicle won't make it far" Kenny continues. Omid checks Christa, but she is still unconscious "I have cleaned up her wound and taped it but we should really find medicine asap, otherwise she won't make it."

We posted at the same time... yours is better.
( AH AH again really? :P ok I'll just go on)... She tries to get the truck running but unfortunely for her Kenny had the keys and Christa was in the back seat and grabs her. She tries to release herself but Clem quickly runs to the truck and shots Lilly in the leg. Charlie, Omid and kenny (helped by Omid) return to the truck "YOU AGAIN?" says kenny "YOU CRAZY B*TCH, WE SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE!!". "you know her?" asks Christa not letting her go, "Yes she was in the same group as me my family, Clem and Lee" responds kenny before Clem sobbing "she killed Carley/Doug (whatever)". The shot attracted the walkers in the abbandoned retirement home and they start surronding the group. "We have got to get out of here" says Chrlie before shooting a walker in the head with his rifle, "what do we do with her" - asks Christa, "LEAVE HER!!" yells Kenny, "But I have medicine and fodd, take me with you and I'll share it!!" - yells Lilly scrolling her eyes towards a bag she's carrying. What do you do? LEAVE HER (don't trust her) / TAKE HER WITH YOU (trust her)
AH Ah sorry and thanks :P then answer mine and continue the story from there
Even though her feelings on Kenny were completly mixed he was right with this decision, "Leave her" Clementine said "She killed Carly/Dug she can't be trusted." Lilly doesn't say anything but runs up to Kenny kicks him takes the keys and points her gun toward him. She slowly backs up and gets in the truck and leaves the group and the long dusty road all on their own, there wasn't a walker, person, or means for transportation anywhere, and now they had to wounded a decision needs to be made but what...
Ignore this.

And Who made you the leader? We don't even know where you've been, you just showed up out of nowehere, where the hell have you been?"...
I like the story so far. Please go on
"Yeah exactly" Omid intervenes "We found you in the middle of nowhere, where the military people were shooting at something. Have you met these guys? And how did you get out of Savannah anyway?..." Charlie interrupts him: "we should get out of here. The people from my old settlement use to visit these ranger cabins, when they go for a multi-day hunt.

The machete-wielding man walks into the cabin. He takes a quick look around, surveying the group. His eyes pause on Clementine. Sweat pours down Clementine's face. Who is this person? Did he kill the walkers? He's just one man. How does Charlie know him? Why is he staring at me?
Clementine's thoughts are interrupted by Charlie's voice.
"I'm not going back! You hear me?"
The man made no expression. He responded in a cold, unfeeling tone:
"You can't survive out there on your own. You know that, better than all of us."
Charlie bites his lip. He begins to talk back, but Kenny interrupts him. "Who are you? What are you doing here? I want answers, now." The man chuckles, evidently amused by this. He gestures to Christa, and then to Kenny's leg. "You are hardly in a position to make demands. You have three wounded, two children with no ammo left in their guns, and no where to go. I have food, medicine, and weapons. You don't. So I suggest you take care in how you speak to me."
Charlie steps back. "Don't trust him!", he says. Something in his eyes glinted. Clementine realized they were tears.
Christa begins to speak, but passes out, either from exhaustion, or worse, from blood loss. Omid puts her down. "Oh crap! Chris, you okay? Come on, talk to me!" Christa shifts, but remains unconscious. "Kenny, we gotta do something!"
The man, ignoring Charlie, begins to speak. "Look, I have all day, but seeing your condition, you don't. Make up your mind, quick."
Clementine's mind races. Kenny might make it, but Christa won't, not like this. He even saved us. He might not be too bad. She looked at Charlie, who was seething. Charlie doesn't seem to like him, though. What if this person is with those guys trying to shoot us?
What do you do? (Choose your option):
Ask the others for their opinion | Agree to come | Disagree | Say nothing
1. Ask the others for their opinion:
"What do you guys think?"
Omid is the first to speak. "Look, I don't know much about groups, but I know Christa wont make it through this without help. I'm going, whether you are or not."
Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie continues to back away.
The man says nothing, just nods.
Kenny looks at his leg, then at Clementine. He begins to speak... -Continue from here-
2. Agree to come:
I don't think we have a choice. Clementine looks at Christa's stump of a leg, and then the man. "I think we should go..."
Omid and Charlie take notice of that.
Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie continues to back away. Omid nods. "Yeah, Clementine's right. Christa wont make it through this without help, and he saved us, didn't he?." Charlie is shocked.
Kenny looks at his leg, then at Clementine. He begins to speak... -Continue from here-
3. Disagree:
What if they turn out like the St. Johns? Clementine shudders, as the memories flood back. "I don't think we should go..."
Charlie and Omid take notice of that.
Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie steps closer to Clem.
"Yeah, the little girl's right. This guy is nothing but trouble, trust me."
Omid is getting impatient. "How can we trust you? At least this guy saved us! You haven't helped at all! Christa wont make it through this without help, and he's all we have! I'm going!"
The man seems slightly amused by the fighting.
Kenny looks at Christa, then at Clementine. He begins to speak... -Continue from here-
4. Say nothing
Omid is the first to speak. "Look, I don't know much about groups, but I know Christa wont make it through this without help. I'm going, whether you are or not."
Kenny seems unsure, while Charlie continues to back away. Clementine looks at the others
The man nods. "What about the rest of you? Time's a wasting." He looks at Clementine. "What about you, little girl?"
Clementine starts, but Kenny cuts her off. He begins to speak... -Continue from here-
Good job on this
Yes indeed. Longest post in the entire discussion.
Thanks, both of you. I think I have to slip in some more fluff, though. It reads a bit too fast. Not enough gap between the dialogue. I hope it's okay to put the choices like this. I mean, something I noticed with TTD was a lot of decisions didn't necessarily sway people's minds. Clem, being as young as she is, gets even lesser say in things than Lee does. I thought adding a little exposition to the choices would help in letting people know that what they decide will not necessarily change what other characters feel.
I agree. More choices here and there build more suspense
Clem looks into Charlies eyes again, seeing they are filled with tears. "I disagree" she says with a voice full of confidence,"I don't think we should go."
"Before I make up my mind" so he speaks "I need to know EVERYTHING about this settlement you want to take us to - every fucking detail! This young man doesn't seem to be fond of you, you know... What is it he's afraid of." The man wearing a military outfit grins and says: "Ok, redneck, listen: here's the deal:" ...
"were the remaining survivors of a town that was once called Crawford, were building a new town up about twenty miles back" the man says. " you fight and follow orders you live, you don't you die!"
" No weve seen Crawford! and that place was messed up, what kind of place doesn't let children live, anybody sick!" Kenny begins to yell attracting more walkers.
"like it or not you folks wont survive without our help"
" we have survived this long well make it" clem looked down at the ground as she spoke
"Doesn't make sense - Why would you want to take Charlie with you? He is a kid, too. I don't want to go with you either way." Omid looks worried at Christas leg, saying "Clemmy is right. Does not make any sense at all." Charlie says: "...
''I am NOT going back to that place, after all the things they did to me, my brothers, my sister and my...'' Charlie looks away, obviously trying to hide his tears. ''We've changed'', the man says, ''We now rely on the people we used to kick out of Crawford. Especially children, we need them.''
Omid takes a quick glance at Christa, and realizes that it might not be safe. ''She's pregnant'' Omid says.
The group reacts...
... "I kind off knew it..." says Kenny as Clem doesn't know if she should be happy or sad because of the situation... Charlie quickly answers "That's another reason not to go, they teach kid how to fight and then make us fight each other like gladiators, the one who survives gets to stay... you made me kill my own brother!!", "We didn't made you kill anyone... You did it because you had to do it to survive, and that's what we teach you, you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to survive, we are breeding the next generation of humans and we are making sure they are able to survive in this world!! It's Natural selection!! Survival of the fittest!! Don't you want your kid to learn how to kill and survive?!?!" Responds the man with a crazed look on his face. "What? are you crazy? I want him to survive but not like a mad man!!" yells Omid. "So I'm guessing you made your choice... You are the weak ones, the ones that will not be able to survive the test the world given us... I won't kill you because the dead will... Just leave before morning before the scouts come cleaning this area...". The man climbs down the stairs and kills 4 walkers before Charlie points is rifle at him "I'm going to solve this right now...", Kenny just looks and does nothing as Omid doesn't even notices it being focused in Christa, what does Clem do?
"Charlie, don't!" she whispers, holding his shoulder and having a scared look on her face. "They will hunt us! We don't have a car - pleaaaase..." "I left one single bullet for this very moment. He killed my mommy, shot her in the head, right infront of the community, just to earn respect, only to scare us. He is a bad person - leave me alone!' He replies, and Clementine does not have any doubts that he speaks the truth. She remembers Lee's words. Lee killed a bad person, too. But it isn't what her mother Diana taught her. Suddenly ...
COMMENT: Maybe @Somguye could be so nice to make a rough summary of the story so far, for newcomers as well as for the writers so we can look it up to avoid contradictions, posting it in the head of this thread. What do you think? edit: of course I can make a summary as well, not a native english speaker, though
Might be a good idea. We could also cut all these posts up in different ''episodes'' and make a plot summary whenever an episode ends. It will all be in this forum, but there might be some more structure that way.
Anyway, I'll continue the story now.
''Charlie, you know the gunshot will attract walkers, it's not safe.'' Clementine whispers. ''Just give me the rifle, you don't have to do this.'' Charlie keeps staring into the scope of his rifle, tears rolling down from his eyes. ''You're wrong'', Charlie whispers right before pulling the trigger and leaving the unnamed man laying on the ground with a hole right in the back of his head.
His action is quickly followed by the loud growls of hungry walkers. ''What the hell, Charlie!'', Kenny yells, ''We need to get out of here, RIGHT NOW!''. Clementine pulls Charlie away from the window while Kenny helps Omid to carry Christa, who is now able to stand nearly upright.
''I'm not going to make it'', Christa gasps, ''You need to leave me.'' Omid reacts fiercely, ''Come on Christa, you and the baby don't deserve to get eaten by those goddamned monsters!''
Tell Omid to let Christa go/ Tell Omid to keep carrying Christa/ Remain silent
