It's a one-shot and it'll be finished soon. It's about Clementine remembering her friends and thier deaths while she's wandering alone in the cold and there's storm coming on, but she's completely alone! Supposed to be sad! Sorry for any spelling errors!

Golden Eyes

There were all of them, sitting next to a sparky fireplace, each one telling others their own stories, the ones that leave you with a smile on your face and make you laugh. The house was never warmer but never fuller, and everyone has felt that good vibe lingering in the nice air full of cheerful amthosphere. Someone was sitting on the couch, somebone grabbed a few chairs while others had no other choice but to sit on the floor, but thankfully it was anything but cold, surprisingly for all of those people who have survived for two hard years since the mess started first.

The most important thing was family, even if most of these people weren't blood related, they felt family in their hearts, they shared the good and the bad, together just like they promised. Rebecca had given a birth to a little beautiful boy named after his father, Alvin, although everyone called him AJ for short. She was sitting next to her loyal husband Alvin, who had his arm placed around her neck. Next to them there was Carlos, who seemed the most serious 'guy' in the group, but he was enjoying his company as well. Sarah, of course, tied next to her father, leaving her cheerfully giggles after some joke was told. Nick was sitting on a chair, and he was telling a lot of fun stories that had happened from the past, often including his best friend Luke. His best friend was sitting close to him, but on a wooden floor just like Clementine, who was across him. Kenny with his girlfriend Sarita laughed and was finally happy, but who didn't feel even a little of this optimism that night? Bonnie was patiently looking at Luke with her ice blue eyes full of concern. Mike and Jane joined this never bigger group and shared some good that was left from them.

That was the night Clementine would never ever forget. It was so special for her because they all survived together and finally found time to just be themselves, far away from the walkers and the troubles. No one could ruin this for them. After all, they had beds, food, a big place to stay, and the most important - they had friends. Friends who were ready to die for each other, unselfish friends. The place was literally full, which Clementine indeed enjoyed. Her golden eyes reflected those big flames of fire, they were peacefully looking at each one member of her 'family', as she calls them now. Oh, how glad she was when she saw them all together and happy! Why couldn't this last forever?

" So this one time, Nick and I were at the high school, and-" Luke laughed a little but managed to continue what he had planned "Yeah, we were in the room for music, ya know? There were all kinds of instruments, and of course we weren't supposed to be there, not at all. But Nick bein', well Nick, he had a huge crush on some girl who'd play, lemme remember..." Nick not so cheerfully as Luke added "It was a violin."

Luke nodded with a smile "That's it! A majestic violin! We sneaked up there and, and Nick wrote some kind of song or poem, I dunno, and he wanted to ask her out while playin' her violin." Everyone smiled at thought of Nick singing and playing, a violin! And it was supposed to be romantic! "He got ready while waitin' on her, her name was Juliet, couldn't have been worse! His Juliet showed up and he started, I swear he was sweating like a freakin' pig! Anyway, he started and gosh, that was probably the funniest thing ever! His voice cracked, he has never played a violin and the girl was confused. I laughed and he heard it, not like I regret it, he did somethin' bad, shit, I don't know about playin' those instuments and one of the wires broke causing him to throw the violin on the floor. His face was so red I had to calm myself in case I don't die from laughter. The girl cursed, yelled, and the whole school knew it for a second! Not just that he had to pay for a new violin, speak to the grumpy hehadmaster and a music teacher, the girl said NO and embarrassed him in front of the whole shitty school!"

Everyone laughed, except Nick who seemed angry at Luke revealing his failure as a teenager "Yeah, yeah. So funny."

"Man sorry, but there ain't no way you can deny that wasn't funny! Seems kinda original." Mike added and Bonnie joined him "Aw, don't ya be so harsh on him. We've all done, well stupid things."

"Those stupid things seem hilarious as shit." smile curved on Mike's face once again.

Clementine was gowling from the happiness she hasn't experienced in a long long time. It felt like all the joy was trying to make an explosion, but it stayed still, only visibly on her eyes. The night slowly passed away, without anyone noticing it. They all had to go get some rest, Nick's watch was telling it was around three hours in the shared a bed with Sarah, as usually, and Sarah fell asleep as soon as she lay on a comfortable bed. Clementine was still there, awake, listening to snores of other members, and she calmly looked through a window next to her side. The skies were full of shining stars, pines slowly swinging with the September wind. She gazed at the pretty night until doubts and all kinds of thoughts came to her little mind. What if someone dies, just when she's gotten used to them? What if they all leave her completely alone like months ago Christa left her wandering through the unfamiliar wildness? Could they all survive? She promised herself she'll do everything in order to save them, she won't give up without a battle! Was it even possbile for her to keep going on after their deaths? Why was she thinking about the worst scenario now!? Her friends were right here, with her, peacefully sleeping, yet she was thinking about some future and fate? She desperately needed to rest, rest her too worried poor mind.

Clementine experienced just what she thought about that night, she was about to see the worst of this sick world. It started to vanish them all when Nick died. She was right there, seeing him getting bitten on his left arm. There were just too much of them, and there was only her, Nick and Jane. The others, well, they were at the new place they found. Those three unlucky souls were going on a run for food, little Alvie was getting hungrier each day and they had no choice. That stupid walker got Nick when his gun accidently dropped. Jane, like always, was fighting on her own those dead, and Clementine, oh dear Clementine, was too busy to see what was happening around her tiny body.

She could have saved him, she had a gun with few bullets left, but the only thing that was left that day was a bite on Nick's arm. His scream and yelling for help was haunting her even and today. When he faces her, the blue ocean eyes looked at her in a terror, he was scared to death, he finally admitted it. Clementine knew how much he was sad after Pete's death, and all the things he had said to her that night while drinking alcohol, but now, it was different. They ran away, no words came out of their mouth, not even Jane had any strength to say anything.

Walking down the narrow path full of dirt, Clementine felt a guilt swinging her whole body, her mind accusing her for being too slow and stupid. She killed that walker, but it was too late. They eventually got back to the rest of group, but Clementine didn't seem to care. How could she be so foolish!? All those years counted as nothing when she couldn't save her friend! Luke greeted them, confused by the silence of those three and unexpected sadness. Clementine didn't get her head up, she just walked past all of those people, and running to 'her' room on the last floor. She could hear different voices calling out her name in worry and questions, but she countinued getting up before she would burst up crying like a baby. As she entered the room, her shaking arms somehow managed to close the door. She had no will and she sat down in front of the door, touching them with her back. Clementine burried her face wet from tears in knees and silently sobbed hoping no would come to check on her, she didn't want to see anyone.

Her promise given to Pete, to Luke, to herself, got broken because of her stupid self. She felt like her heart was ripping on small parts, each one hurting as much as the first one. People came and came in front of the door, asking is she's okay but she'd just brush them off or stay silent like she's dead, because she felt like she was. He was her friend, he was a good man, he didn't deserve that! Jane, Nick and her know she could save him from fading away like this! All the hope and light she's had was gone. She felt like her soul was a dark, hollow yet heavy hole trying to eat her, and she deserved it, at least that's what she thought. So stupid, so pointless, she didn't even apologize, not like it mattered because she killed the innocent man. Hours have passed by and she saw two figures walking into the woods from house ; Nick and Luke. What has she done? She caused a man to kill his best friend and she would never forgive herself for a stupid mistake she's made.

The loss didn't even stop, not for a single minute. Clementine was still fighting with the guilt on her and now the other one is going away. This time it was Alvin and Carlos, both fathers who risked themselves to protect their loved ones. Sarah and Rebecca wanted them back so badly they stopped talking for a while. The group was running away from a big horde of walkers chasing them like rabbits down the hole. They all got separated, leaving Clementine with Sarah in order to protect her like she couldn't do to Nick. They were trapped in a small store, bangings on the windows getting louder each second. The girls' heartbeats were faster and faster. Clementine had to think, to get them out of that hole. The only way out was on a skywatch above their heads. The time was flying away and they both managed to get out just in the time. For Sarah it didn't really matter when she saw her dad dead, half torn apart and bleeding. Alvin had the same fate.

The girl couldn't struggle anymore. She was just too weak and broken, without her protector. Clementine, she has tried everything to get the old Sarah back, but nothing was coming out good. Sarah eventually started thinking how her dad was actually alive, somewhere close to them and that idea cost her now miserable life. It seemed like she was living in a different world, with no walkers, and she ran and ran, the group chased her getting eaten alive. How sad was it watch little innocent Sarah getting eaten alive from monsters with no remorse. That scene was horrible and it left no one indifferent. All they could do was put her out of her misery which attrackted those dead, but they had to do it. Her scream was piercing Clementine's dreams, now turning to nightmares leaving her terrified when she'd wake up. She couldn't even escape the reality in the sleep, it seemed like it was breaking down, all falling in the ocean, too deep to get back.

She was her friend, best friend as they promised to each other. Pinky promise lasts forever! Sarah's voice reminded her of how she would forget about everything while being with the cheerful girl, she had no idea what was happening around her. Carlos was right, she ceased to fuction, but she always thought there was hope for Sarah, maybe if she tried better. Another death on her weak shoulders was added. All the games, jokes, stupid secrets, chats, made tears get down her golden eyes full of darkness. All those people were going to die and she knew it.

A/N : I dunno if I'm gonna separate it in chapter or write next parts in this whole one, you know. Nah, nevermind.

Please leave a review, it means a lot :)
