The Walking Dead- Can It Be?

Chapter 2

Gabe's POV

Silence, that's all there was, just simple plain old silence. Gabe couldn't speak he could just stand in amazement while his gun dropped to the ground and his stance moved ever so slightly.

"D-Dad!"

Gabe was with Javi, Kate and the rest of the group (minus Clem and Conrad) outside the walls of Richmond where The New Frontier had taken over and they where pointing many guns at them but they just had to get inside and get doctor or medical help or Kate wasn't going to make it, but all that stopped for a minute as non other than David/Gabe's dad came out the gate. Gabe thought he was dead and he had every right to think that he was. The last time he saw his dad was about 4-5 years ago and Gabe and Javi couldn't believe their eyes. David ordered his men to put down their weapons and before David knew it Gabe had wrapped his arms around his father in a tight hug like he was never going to let his dad go. David wrapped his arms around his son and attempted to process the whole situation while it happened. He held his son before breaking it off and looking at the young man he had grown up to be.

David looked up at his brother giving him a smile and then looking worryingly at Kate in his arms. He ran over to his wife and looked at her almost lifeless body before ordering all his men and women around shouting at them to get their doctor as quick as possible before telling everyone to get inside the walls. Nobody hesitated to get inside Richmond and to help Kate before it was to late. Gabe looked around, Richmond seemed like a pretty stable place to stay but he didn't have time to think about that now, Kate was Gabe's priority and to get her the help she needed. Even though Kate wasn't his real mom he loved her just as much as he ever would and wasn't going to let her die now. A man with a grey moustache jogged over to Kate with some men and women behind him with a gurney and some medical supplies. He took Kate and put her on the gurney asking what had happened to her in the process and rushed her off into a building just up ahead. Gabe tried to follow on before a hand grabbed him from behind on his shoulder. Is was Javi's and he told Gabe that it would be best for him to stay outside while the what seemed to be doctors did what they had to do. Gabe resisted for a while before David convinced him to stay outside, after all David did seem to be in charge of this place.

It had been 20 minutes and Gabe,Javi, Tripp and Jesus stood with David processing what had just happened.

"Wait, so let me get this straight ,David is Javi's brother , Kate's husband and Gabe's father!" said Tripp astonishingly.

"Yeah you've got it" replied Javi. The conversation went on trying to fill David in with everything that happened and David filled them in on what happened to him all this time. David then got on to asking about Marianna and what happened to her and when there was no reply he put his head in his hands but not for long as he had assumed that all his family were dead. The conversation then picked up again and David couldn't help but says how grown up is son was and how he was so proud he had made it this far. Then interrupting the conversation Tripp had asked what had happened to Eleanor and David got 2 of his men to lead Tripp and Jesus to him leaving just the newly reunited Garcia family together then to only be interrupted by the doctor. Everybody turned around awaiting news from this man praying that Kate was alright. Thankfully the doctor had said that Kate was going to live as they had stopped all the bleeding, cleaned and stitched Kate up however Kate lost a lot of blood and she just needed a lot of rest before she would be back on her feet again but everybody was just happy that she was going to live to see tomorrow.

David was showing Javi and Gabe around Richmond and everything was going pretty good they all wanted to see how Kate was doing but they all knew that they had to let her rest. David was explaining something to both of them but Gabe's mind was off in another place ignoring everything that David was telling him and Javi. Gabe was thinking about a lot of stuff, how he just saw his dad for the first time in years, His sister Marianna, Conrad getting shot, Prescott falling to pieces, Clementine, oh Clem why did you have to be a part of The New Frontier, Why did you run away, why did you stay in that shooting all by yourself?

Wait why was his mind on Clem so much? He asked himself trying to think of a good answer before being interrupted in his thought by Javi calling him over to a building he and David were standing in front of. He ran over and David invited them both inside.

It was what seemed to be an old hotel and what seemed to be were some people of The New Frontier slept. David led them down a hallway and outside a room when he opened the door and stepped inside followed by his accompaniment. David had took them both onto an old hotel with two singular beds, a table with some pens and paper, a bathroom and a Bar area. This looked like a fancy hotel room but a lot of stuff like tv's and hairdryers had been taken out probably because there was no power. David told both Javi and Gabe that they could sleep in this room tonight and he would give some rooms to their friends also. They both agreed to this and said thank you to him very much. David gave Gabe and his brother one last hug before leaving the room and closing the door behind him with a smile on his face.

It had been about an hour and Javi was already fast asleep and Gabe tried his best not to wake him, Javi had a tough day while Gabe was just sitting in his bed, his mind lost in thought once again reflecting on the day he just experienced. About his dad, Conrad,Kate,Marianna,Javi and Clementine. Clementine's really brave he thought to himself and she did seem really nice and understanding when they talked and… wait a minute, his mind was back on Clementine again. Why is she on my mind so much? He asked himself the question over and over again till he stopped and tried to think about something else. Eventually his mind wandered off into thought once more and sleep soon came to him.

Gabe's mind had taken him to a far place and a dark one at that to. Gabe saw nothing but blur. A white,fuzzy,hazy, and annoying blur. His ears were ringing something awful and it was hard for him to concentrate on the simplest things. He heard a voice that he tried to make out and tried to get up and off the ground but didn't succeed. The voice eventually started to become more audible and the blur he saw began to fade. Gabe was on the ground when nearly all the ringing went away and all the blur had gone but that didn't make him feel any less weak. He began to look around to find himself in a dark room and to find himself with a chain attached to his ankle restricting him running off anywhere he was soon unlatched from the chain by 2 dark figures and brought up onto a chair that was behind him and tied to it. Gabe felt very weak but he tried to suck it up and be strong. He sat in the room in pure darkness but Gabe spoke out.

"Is anybody there? Whats going on?"He asked to what he thought was a dark and empty room when a mysterious voice spoke out in reply

"Hello Gabe"

"Who are you? Who's there?"

"You don't need me to answer that"

"Then what do you want with me?" Gabe replied trying to sound intimidating.

"Oh I don't want anything much but when the time comes I'm sure I could have some little favour for you to complete, but in the meantime…"

The figure paused for a moment before a punch came directly to Gabe's stomach making him hunch forward before another punch came directly over his jaw making his lip start to bleed. The pain was horribly stinging and the blood was hot and seeping down his jaw fast. Gabe started to sweat and fear started rumbling in his stomach dreading the next punch but it never came.

"Just you wait Gabe and this will be happening to the rest of your family" said the figure menacingly before their footsteps walked it the other direction.

"Wait no No you can't do that! Wait you Mother fucker! Wait please! No NO!"

"No!" Gabe woke up so suddenly he almost fell out of his bed and clearly waking Javi up doing so.

"Gabe are you alright you just scared the shit out of me" Javi said noticing Gabe's heavy breathing and the sweat pouring off his replied that he was fine and it was obviously just a nightmare and Javi didn't blame him for that because Gabe had nightmares before and he handled them pretty afterwards but this one seemed different. Gabe tried to calm and compose himself and get some good rest when he turned to Javi sitting in his bed a few feet from Gabe's when Gabe said

"I love you Uncle Javi, I don't say it often enough and I'm just scared of loosing you and Kate and Everyone, we lost Marianna today and I never got to tell her that"Gabe said to his surprised uncle while putting his head down thinking about his dead sister.

"I love you to sobrino and you may have never got to tell Marianna but I know that she knew that and she loved her hermano very much" replied Javi reassuring Gabe and giving him a smile. Gabe thanked his Uncle and was told to try get some rest and if he should have another nightmare think about things that made him happy like Home,Marianna,Kate,David and Clementine. Clementine, Gabe thought as he lay his head against his pillow and turned around facing away from Javi. Gabe thought about Clementine because she made him happy and knowing she was alive was even better. He thought about her smile that he had only been able to see once when she gave him one to reassure him on the road away from Prescott. He thought about her bravery and how she knew exactly what to do and all the stuff she had done. I mean she had a missing finger so that was pretty cool too but Gabe liked her personality and wished he met her before this all broke out and see what kind of person she was before. Gabe had spent about 30mins thinking about Clem before he decided to go over to the window and open it for some air. It was a quiet, soft kind of breeze that cooled Gabe down and he stood and thought about Clem. He suddenly realised why he was thinking about her so much and why she made her so happy. He must have been so stupid because he never felt and thought like that before and he just tried to ignore it but he couldn't any more and wouldn't any more because Gabe had finally figured it out. Can it be that Gabe likes Clementine?
