"Glenn?"
Glenn focused on them before running over to Clementine who gladly hugged him, "Kenny. Man is it good to see you alive! Clementine, I am so glad you are alright!"
"You know him?" Rick said stepping forward.
Both Clementine and Glenn nodded, "I met Kenny back in Macon he was traveling with Clementine and some others"
"Well a friend of your is a friend of mine" Daryl said, "Clem you know these people?" He said pointing to Alvin, Nick, and Carlos.
Clementine nodded, "Yes. They helped me after the prison" Daryl nodded and then turned to the others trying to find a way out of this hell hole. Clementine looked at the group around her and even though the current situation she was glad she had finally found her family. They could get past this, they had to.
"Man, were all going to die" Nick said pacing around one side of the train car, "You saw what they did to those other assholes…. We are fucked!"
"Those other assholes were people from my group!" Kenny yelled, "You better watch your mouth. They were good people" He grabbed the dark haired woman and held her close, "Sarita, everything will be okay"
They heard shouting from outside the train car and Rick moved towards it peering out, "They're gunna feel pretty stupid when they find out…"
A red haired burly man then spoke, "Find out what?"
"They're fucking with the wrong people"
"Do you think they are okay?" Rebecca said looking a bit weary, "It's been awhile"
"I'm sure everything is fine" Sarah said, "My dad's got things handled."
"Sarah is right" Luke chimed in, "They are probably just taking it slow just in case"
They waited for some time before they heard shuffling around the outside of the cabin. At first they thought it was a walker until they heard the voice. It was a man. It seemed as if the man was talking on something. They stayed still in the cabin and Luke grabbed his gun and aimed it at the door.
"I know you're in there" The man said, "I am not afraid to shoot"
"Shit, what do we do?" Rebecca whispered.
"I don't know" Luke said in a hushed tone, "I've never exactly been in this situation before!"
The man's voice chimed in one more time, "The pregnant woman, the Asian man, and the little girl out right now before I send people in to get you and I know you won't be gettin out alive"
Rebecca put her hands on her head, "Great they were watching us, Shit. They were watching us. It was a trap wasn't it?"
"We don't know that for sure! What if they aren't even with Terminus" Luke paced the room before yelling out to the man, "Okay we are coming out but the girl is staying."
"Fine but take your weapon with you and I want it on the ground or I will send one of my men to get her"
Luke looked at Rebecca and she nodded, "We will be okay"
The two then stepped out of the cabin and Luke put his gun and Rebecca her knife on the ground. They put their hands in the air and for a moment they just stared at the man. He wasn't scrawny but wasn't buff and had a bag of fireworks in his hand.
"Turn around and I won't kill you" He ordered. The two did as they were told and turned around. They then felt ropes being tied around their hands Luke first and Rebecca second. Luke looked around a noticed the man was by himself.
"Thought you had other men… Where are they?" He questioned
The man looked at him smirking, "Hidin out just in case you try and pull something" He then ushered the two back into the Cabin and tied up Sarah who was taking deep breaths trying to calm down.
"Now… Names Martin" The man said, "You try anything and I will kill you, understand?" The three nodded, "Good. I'll be back soon; jus gotta set off these fireworks to draw the geeks"
"What are you going to do to us?" Sarah asked quivering.
"Don't know yet little lady" Martin said with a twisted smile.
Martin left the cabin and they could hear him moving around outside. Occasionally he would talk on the walkie-talkie he had attached to his hip but it was too hard to hear what he was saying.
"This was a bad idea" Luke said, "What are we going to do?"
The group didn't even know how long they were in the train car for… Clementine was just glad she had finally found everyone. She was so relieved to see Kenny but he has changed so much. He was now supporting a scruffy beard and a whole new attitude. Kenny was definitely not the same man she last saw in Savannah all those years ago, but then again she was not the same scared little girl. She had grown older, stronger, and smarter in a sense. She listened as Daryl told everyone Beth was taken and Rick told everyone why Carol wasn't with them. Clementine feared for Beth knowing full well the people in this world are very dangerous. As for Carol, Clementine didn't know what to feel. She knew it wasn't right to kill people, but she understood Karen and David were sick. She had heard they were terribly sick and might not make it. If it would end their suffering Clementine understood. She thought back to Lee. He was bit, he was dying, and he was in pain. Clementine did what she needed to do even though it was the hardest thing she ever had to do in her life.
Clementine moved closer to Kenny feeling the need to catch up with the little time they might have left. She quickly shook the thought of dying out of her head knowing these people were strong and that they can get past anything.
"How have you been?" Kenny said as she approached him, "What happened after Savannah?"
"Lots has happened" She said quietly
"Wow, you have sure grown up since I last saw you" He gave a weak smile, "When I first saw you I half expected to see Lee kneeling beside you…"
Clementine frowned, "I miss him"
"I know. You catch up with Krista or Omid after ..." He trailed off looking at the ground.
Clementine shook her head, "I went to the end of the city after not really knowing what to do but then Rick and Daryl found me. They took me and I was with them ever since… Glenn met them after he left the motel; if Glenn trusted them I knew I could trust them."
"Then how come you came with different people?" Kenny questioned, "Something happen?"
Clementine explained everything about the prison to Kenny. She told him about the war between them and Woodbury and how just like that their sanctuary was gone and they were all scattered. They had lots of time in the train car so why not catch up while they can.
"Not a lot of us made it out"
"Sorry to hear that" Kenny said sincerely, "I was a mess after Savannah… I was so lost until I stumbled across a small group, that was when I met Sarita and the guys…" He looked away, "They were good people. Everyone was…"
Just then they heard voices from outside the train car and the door bust open.
"We can do this the hard way or the easy way" Gareth's voice echoed from outside the car, "I want only the new comers from A. You will step out of the car with your arms up and if anyone tries to escape or any of the other people from A try anything you are all dead. Understand?"
The group was silent. Clementine heard Sarita gasp as Kenny grabbed her, "Everything will be okay" he repeated.
"Now! We don't have all day" Gareth said impatiently.
What did he want with them? Clementine thought as a look of horror flashed across her face. These people were very dangerous, one wrong move and everyone could be dead.
Rick stepped closer to the door but still out of view. He looked over at the others then over to Clementine, "Leave the girl" he said, "the rest will go without a fight."
Kenny looked up and his eyes met with Rick's. He nodded in understanding.
"That's not my call" Gareth said, "I was ordered to get all the new comers that were put into A. Tough luck…" He laughed, "You have to the count of five"
Kenny sighed and was the first one to make a move. He looked at Clementine then stepped on the first step Sarita close behind him. Next was Clementine with Carlos and Alvin close behind. Clementine stepped out of the train car and was blinded by the brightness. The car was so dark nobody could tell how long they were even in there for. When her eyes adjusted she saw the row of men holding guns facing them. She gulped as Gareth called out for Nick.
"I know there is still one more of you in there. Everyone is going to die unless you come out."
He quickly grabbed Clementine by the wrist and pulled her in view of the train car door. He ignored Kenny's pleas and held a gun to Clementine's head which quickly shut him up.
"I will shoot the girl unless you cooperate"
"Nick please" Clementine said as she felt the gun being pressed to her head. She felt her eyes tearing up hoping Nick would just get out of the car.
"Don't shoot. I'm coming" Nick said. He stepped out of the train car and stopped right in front of Clementine and Gareth. "I got out now take the Goddamn gun away from her"
"And what if I don't?" Gareth questioned smirking.
"I will beat your ass." Nick said fiercely, "You can't do this to us. Next chance I get I am going to make sure you have the bloodiest and most gruesome death I can imagine!"
Gareth didn't even think about what he was going to do next because in one swift motion he pushed Clementine to the ground and put the gun to Nick's head pulling the trigger.
Clementine screamed as she watched Nick fall to the ground lifeless. Everyone was silent after that. Clementine got up and moved in the line with the rest of the group. Everyone's eyes were teary but they continued on. Clementine couldn't believe Nick was gone. She hadn't known him very long but aside from his occasional outbursts he was a pretty nice guy. He cared a lot for Peter and after his death everyone knew Nick was still mourning.
They were led into a room and told to stay put. The door was then closed and the lock could be heard trapping them. Clementine looked around and the room was literally empty. It reminded her of the St. John Dairy Farm because of how cold it was, and how they had gotten locked in. She looked around at all the scared faces and truly feared for what was going to come.
Don't hate me for the character death! I really hated Nick's death in the game. It made me angry and this death kinda makes me angry too... Anyways, I usually stick to the original deaths of characters because I hate killing off characters that are still alive or hate writing a different death scene thing, but again I disliked Nick's death a lot so I guess this was better then what they did in the game. In my opinion at least. Thanks to all the people that followed/favourited/reviewed :) It means a lot.
