Chapter 3: A Train!

It's been a week since we went to the St. John's and Lilly's starting to lose it which is worrying me, she thinks someone has been stealing the supplies while everyone else thinks she's insane, Kenny's working on the RV so we can leave and I feel bad about yelling at him before; ever since the St. John's I've been worried about our safety, especially Clementine's safety so I decided to teach her how to shoot; I found a silencer on a dead bandit, I guess they were ex military but I haven't actually started teaching her, I'm doing that today. "Hey Clem" I greeted "Hey Jay" she greeted back "You remember how you got grabbed by the St. John's and couldn't defend yourself" I started "Yeah" she nodded "Well I think it's best if you learn how to shoot a gun, so then no bad guys can get you and you can protect people like Lee protects us" I finished "That's a good idea," Clem agreed "But do you know how to shoot a gun?" she asked "Carley's been teaching me, so I can teach you" I answered.

I pulled out my pistol and put the silencer on it "What's that?" Clem asked "It's something that'll make the shots quiet" I answered "Good" she said, I handed her the pistol and set up some bottles, I then walked back to Clem and stood behind her "Here, you don't want to lock up your arms, keep them bent a little, and look down at the little point to aim" I instructed correcting her arms position, she aimed and fired, she missed by a little and hit the wall "Try aiming a bit lower and to the left" I instructed. She did so and hit it dead on "There, now try again" I insisted, this time she hit it without my help "I did it!" she cheered "Good job Clem" I smiled, she then gave me a hug "Thanks for teaching me" she said and went back to drawing, suddenly we got captured by bandits while Lilly and Lee were in her room, Lilly shot one and Carley shot two of three, Lee shot the last one in the ass who called for more bandits, we got in the RV and drove as fast as we could.

When then pulled over when Kenny hit a walker, everyone started arguing while Katjaa and Duck stayed in the RV, suddenly Lilly shot Carley and we left her behind, me and Clem sat on the couch in the RV until Lee came and told us Duck was bitten, we continued to drive for hours until we were stopped by a derailed train, only the engine car and a box car were on the tracks, me, Clem, Katjaa, Duck, and Ben stayed near the RV while Lee & Kenny checked things out "Clem, I'll be right back, when I do get back let's play to pass the time" I informed "Ok" Clem nodded. I walked onto the train and found Kenny "H-Hey Kenny" I greeted "What?" he responded "I just wanted to apologize for yelling at you before, I was just a really bad mood" I apologized "It's alright kid" he sighed "Good" I smiled and headed back to Clem "Come on Clem, let's go play it that box car" I insisted "What's there to do?" she asked "Well I have a ball, we could bounce it to each other" I suggested "Alright" she agreed and we got inside the box car to find a sleeping bag, a green backpack, and a bottle filled with something.

"Do you think someone lived here?" Clem asked "Probably, they're probably a walker now" I answered, I picked up the bottle and smelled it, it had a funny scent so I tried it "Mmmm. This is good" I said "Can I try it?" Clem asked "Sure" I said leaning over to give her some "Don't drink that!" Lee yelled taking the bottle from me "Why not?" we asked "You're too young!" he answered "But it's good, I tried some" I complained "No, your only allowed to drink it when your 21" Lee responded "But that's 10 years away!" we complained "Too bad" he said, we sighed and played with my bouncy ball until the train started moving and a man named Chuck came aboard. "Hey Clem" I said "Yeah?" she responded "I think we should cut your hair. So then people can't grab it" I told her "Alright, but don't make me look like a boy" she agreed "Don't worry, I'll make you look cute" I said grabbing a pair of scissors from the green backpack, I also found a hair brush and grabbed it, I straightened out Clem's hair so it wasn't curly and cut it shorter, I tied it into two small pony tails after wards "There, now you look cuter" I said handing her a piece of reflective glass.

She looked in the glass and smiled "It's nice" she said, then we suddenly stopped and hopped out of the train to see a big fuel tank hanging off the bridge above with a couple standing on the bridge, Lee and them started talking and he then went up there to try and get the tank loose, they finally got it free after Clem & Lee went to the station and found a blowtorch, we then hopped in the train before a herd of thousands of walkers could get us, Omid injured his leg but made it, we then arrived in Savannah hours later.
