A/N:
Thanks for the great reviews and follows :)
I am trying to upload at least one chapter a day.
Please enjoy Chapter 3!
-Clem's POV-
We were walking through the forest towards the river, Nick and Luke had fallen behind a bit. Pete
was holding a rifle and I felt like I would be safer with a gun. I could see that Pete was
wondering where Nick and Luke were, he decided to stop and wait for them.
"Where are those two?" He said sounding kinda p#ssed.
"No idea. Probably want time to themselves." I smirked. Pete chuckled a bit, when he noticed Nick
and Luke walking up behind us. Pete and I still had a smile on our faces.
"What's so funny?" Nick said looking concerned. Me and Pete just looked at each other, turned
around and headed to the river. Nick looked angry whilst Luke just laughed at him.
"Thought you guys needed some time to yourselves." I said whilst coughing so they couldn't
fully understand me.
"What?" Luke said.
"Nothing..."
"We're almost at the river. Hopefully there aren't too many walkers around. Maybe we could be lucky
enough to find some fish in the traps." Pete was pointing towards the direction of the river.
I held my arm and examined it, it hurt like hell and I just wanted the pain to go away. I wanted to
ask for a gun but I knew the answer would be along the lines of 'No. We don't trust you enough'. I asked
anyway, 'cause I really felt like I needed a gun to help protect the others AND myself.
"I'd feel alot safer with a gun. I could help you guys when the walkers attack." I looked at Pete.
"Well I would trust you with a gun, but I'm not so sure about the others in the group. Especially
Rebecca." Pete told me, I nodded my head to tell him that I agreed with the part about Rebecca. Nick was
holding the same kind of rifle that Pete was holding whereas Luke was holding a machete, but I could see
a small pistol in his back pocket. Maybe I could take the gun. Or maybe I would get caught and then they
would get the wrong idea about me taking the gun so I could take over the group. I really want to have a
gun, just incase things get messy near the river. Luke was in front of me and I could see the handle of the
gun sticking out, it looked rather loose aswell so it would be really easy to grab it. I checked to make sure
Nick and Pete weren't looking, I slipped the gun out of his pocket at put it in my back pocket, I pulled the
back of my shirt over the gun so noone could see it.
"How much longer." Nick sounded angry, probably from before when me and Pete were laughing.
"Calm down boy, it aint too far now." Pete responded.
After about 10 minutes of walking I could see the river. Nick had walked on ahead with Pete whilst Luke was
walking next to me. He whispered in my ear,
"I know you took my gun..."
"Well. Shit." I felt like an idiot. He just laughed.
"I guess you can keep it whilst we're here, but I don't think you should tell Nick and Pete as their trust for
you might go down a bit." Luke whispered so they couldn't here.
"Thanks," I said, nudging him with my shoulder. I moved my arm to make sure the gun was still there, I forgot
that I had been bit and I flinched as I moved it.
"You should be more careful."
"Yeah, Yeah I know" I replied to Luke.
"Holy Sh#t," We could here Nick and Pete saying. Me and Luke walked faster towards the river.
"F#ck..." I said quietly. All around, were dead bodies, all shot in the head so walkers couldn't have done this.
"Who could'Ve done this?" Luke looked worried about the situation.
"Think about it. You're Carver, what do you do?" Nick sounded serious.
"Who's Carver?" I wanted to know who this Carver guy was that everyone was talking about. I remembered when I told
Rebecca that I knew who Carver was, what an idiot she was.
"Trust me. You don't wanna know Clem." Pete glanced at me but then glanced back at the red coloured river that had
bodies layed out across the coast. There was about 3 bodies near us and in the middle of the river was a small
piece of land which had another two bodies. On the opposite side of the river there was about 3 or 4 more. Nick
instantly went to the opposite side of the river whilst I went to the middle piece of land to search for any life.
Luke and Pete were inspecting bodies, same as Nick on the other side of the river. I could see a light shade of
purple behind a log so I went over to see what it was. It was my bag. I went to pick it up but then I almost
sh#t myself when someone grabbed my leg, I was tempted to grab my gun but then I heard the man talking to me.
"Please." He kept saying over and over. He looked like he had been beaten up pretty bad.
"You were in the woods with Christa. The woman I was with, what happened to her?" I noticed his face, he was the
one who pointed a gun at Christa. He was pointing towards the water bottle in my bag. I decided to give him the
drink.
"Now tell me!" I protested, I had to know what had happened to her.
"She. She managed to get away." He stuttered. There was a possibility that she was alive. Thank God.
"Oh Sh#t!" Luke and Pete were shouting. Walkers were closing in on them fast. I had to pull out my gun. Now or
never. I shot my gun at the walker that was nearest to Pete, Pete looked at me.
"What the f#ck? Why does she have a gun!?" Nick was shouting from across the other side of the river.
"Shut the f#ck up Nick before you bring even more walkers over here. Or lurkers, whatever the hell you guys call
em." I was aiming my gun at a walker that was behind Luke.
"Look out Luke!" I shouted. Luke ducked and I shot the walker in the head.
"Nice shot kid." Luke replied. I gave him an evil look.
"Don't... call... me... a... kid..." Luke just looked at me and laughed.
"We better get outta here fast." Nick came up to me and took my gun. F#cking hell, if I get a gun and Nick's in trouble,
he'll be the last guy I save. We started to walk back to the house but I obviously knew that it wouldn't be this easy.
We could hear the sound of walkers coming from all directions.
-Luke's POV-
Great, the lurkers had to come now. We already had to deal with that. Pete almost got bit and now one less person has a
weapon to help protect us. Nick should've just let Clem keep the gun, I mean I trust her enough and so does Pete.
Hopefully Nick doesn't tell the group about this.
"Oh f#ck." I noticed a nearby shed and pointed towards it. We all ran inside and me and Clem were trying to push the
door closed to stop the lurkers from getting in.
"Nick! Pete! Hurry up and find something!" Clem sounded scared when she said this, which only made me feel more worried.
"Shut up! We're going as fast we can. There's not much stuff in here that would be heavy enough!" He replied back. I
looked around myself and there was a box that looked heavy enough near Clem.
"Clem. Try and reach that box to block the door, but keep on holding the door otherwise we're all gonna be screwed."
Clementine managed to pull the box towards the door and push it against it.
She was breathing heavily and she sat down with her back against a nearby wall, "Thank. God." I sat next to her,
"Good work kid." I soon covered my mouth with my hand quickly realising that I just called her a kid... again. I feel
like she overreacts at these kinda things, but I know she's just messing with me, although I prepared myself just
incase she decided to punch me.
-Clem's POV-
"Yeah, Thanks." I didn't wanna hit him or say anything, I like Luke. I guess he knows I am only messing with him when
I tell him not to call me a kid.
"I'm the toughest kid you'll ever see," I gave him a smile and started to hold my arm. It hurt from when I fired the gun,
as it gave a kick when I pulled the trigger.
"Your arm alright?" At least he cared if I was alright or not. I just shrugged, I didn't want to worry him too much. It hurt
so much but I didn't want to worry him. I'll probably tell Carlos about it later, if we ever get back.
"Sorry guys! We couldn't find anything to help barricade the door," Pete was nice enough to apologise, unlike Nick. God I was
worried, there was no way out of this one.
-10 hours later-
-Clem's POV-
I was so tired and hungry. I had woken up with my head against Luke's shoulder. God knows how long it had been since I had fell
asleep. My stomach rumbling must have woken everyone else up. I started to tense up as I realised that I must have been sleeping
on Luke's shoulder for a couple of hours.
"F#ck. How long we been in 'ere?" Nick rubbed his eyes. Observing his surroundings. There was a stone floor, and a few racks of
shelves with a few jars on them.
"No idea. We can't stay here for too long though. We could starve out here or the lurkers could break down the door,"Pete said
whilst looking out the window. Luke yawned whilst Nick stood up and started to walk towards the jars on the shelves.
"No f#cking way," Nick was shocked and we were all confused. He grabbed a jar and threw a jar at Luke and he caught it.
-Luke's POV-
I caught the jar and opened the lid, I smelt it and I got a really strong scent from it. Clem adjusted herself so she
was sitting up a bit more. I obviously noticed that she had fallen asleep leaning against my shoulder and I knew that
she was worried about it when she woke up, I didn't mind, I guess it gave her a better sleep than any in this world.
"Moonshine. Holy sh#t," I was surprised at what we were surrounded by, tons and tons of moonshine. I took and a swig
of it and coughed when I pulled the jar away. Nick chuckled.
"Not as strong as I remember." I took another swig. Clem and Luke were looking at me and Nick. Nick tossed a jar at
Pete and he caught it and took a drink.
"Ever had moonshine kid?" Nick was offering Clem a drink. Clem just stared at him before saying,
"No. Never. And just one thing, I. Am. Not. A-"
"Yeah Yeah, you are not a kid, I get it," Nick cut her off. Clem just gave him a stern look.
"Wanna try it Clem? It might be a bit too strong," I asked her, she nodded but she looked like she didn't want to try it.
"Well. I don't particularly want to try it but I am thirsty as hell," his might only quench her thirst a little bit but
it will help her to keep her up and moving. I handed her my jar and she took a small sip of it before instanstly coughing,
sounded like she was dying or something. Pete chuckled as he drank the last of his moonshine. Clem handed me back my drink
and I finished it within about 30 seconds. I wrapped my arm around her and said,
"See, that wasn't so bad was it?" I smirked at her. She stared at me,
"Yeah. 'Best' drink ever."
The Lurkers were still outside, we could hear a lot of them. All of a sudden we heard a burst of bullets outside the shed door.
No more lurker sounds... We waited for about a minute until we heard,
"Hey! I saw you guys run in here before being encased by walkers! Are you guys alright?" A man's voice could be heard outside.
"Well. We're not bitten so I guess that means we're fine!" Pete shouted back.
"I wonder who it is." Clementine wondered.
"Well. You might know em Clem, cause they call em walkers too," Nick smiled.
God I hope Clementine does know them, don't wanna have our faces blown off by them.
