Hey! Its me Tiana, my sister is (faking) sick, and I got the opportunity to stay home and look after her, so while she's snoring her head off, I decided to write you guys a chapter. ( without her being able to edit it ;) )
It's pretty boring, so uh yeah..Its just kinda development... you know...Anyway, enjoy!
Slowly I rested my feet in the cool water which I dunked them in, the sun reflected off the water calming me down, it was peaceful, although I couldn't help but feel bad for leaving the others.
I could still feel where my lips had been pressed against Nicks cheek, why did I do that? I asked myself while gently running a finger across my bottom lip, "why?" I asked myself, but I didn't have an answer. Was it because I really liked him? Do I really like….him? I rested my head in between my knees as I dug my toes into the gravel of the stream.
"Did I just throw a chance at love away?" I furrowed my eyebrows and slowly lifted my feet from the stream. The cool air was cold on my damp skin, but slowly I pushed my feet into my shoes.
"Its an apocalypse Clementine." I sighed, "you can't trust anyone." I picked up my backpack and headed back into the woods, in search of anything, but with hope of finding Christa.
A few moments of walking and I came into the clearing of the cabin, "huh, we weren't very far away." I said to myself as I climbed up the wooden steps. Without any luck the door was locked, I guess I should've known that. I climbed back down the stable stairs and walked around the back of the cabin, hoping to find an open window or an entrance, but a large board of wood caught my eye. I examined the four nails which had punctured the board, keeping it in place, and noticed that the wood around the nails was rotten and peeling.
I grabbed the sides of the board and pulled it forwards, breaking it off the metal nails with ease. "Alright! Now we're getting somewhere!" I whispered to myself as I crawled through the slim hole which the board had covered up. It was dusty and underneath the floor of the cabin and there was a lot of broken things, as I crawled along my foot kicked something which was half covered in dirt. "A Camera?" I asked myself as I blew the dust off it, and snapped a shot. The polaroid picture came out, slowly showing its colours. "Sweet!" I said to myself as I held onto the camera.
Finally I found what I was looking for, a trap door. I pushed it up but it wouldn't budge, so using my only knife, I pushed it between the lock and pulled, it opened with a bang, and my knife snapped, breaking the blade in two. I pushed open the door slightly and listened for any noises, hearing nothing except my breathing, I rested my hands on the surface of the floor boards and pulled myself out of the trap door.
I found myself in the hallway, and instantly went into the the next room before heading up the stairs, I decided to check through Lukes room first and found nothing but an old snow jacket which for some reason was shoved behind his cupboard. I pulled it out and tried it on, that's when I realised it was most likely a girls coat. It was Dark Navy blue, with two pockets, one of each side of the zipper which ran down the middle. The hood and inside of the coat was fur, and it overall, it was very warm.
I took it off and folded it into my backpack which now was very full, but with one lucky find, I decided to keep looking, wondering why such a thing was left behind when Rebecca or Sarah could have worn it. Walking down the hall I came across Nicks room, his large wardrobe was empty, and there was nothing behind it either, but in his cupboard I pulled out a golden watch, and of course, decided to keep it.
Next I went into Sarah's room, and found an empty gun under her bed. I also found a bottle of peroxide and shoved that into my backpack as well. Okay either these guys left this behind on purpose, or they were really rushing to get out of here.
Once checking the rest of the house, and succeeding in finding a kitchen knife and a teddy bear, I headed out the door, thinking that it would be best to say goodbye to this ol' place.
3 hours had past, and I had still gotten no luck with food or ammo, let alone shelter, it was starting to get dark and I was completely lost. "Okay, we're going to be fine," I said to myself and…..Myself. "No need for panicking, Clem." I told myself as I felt my heart rate going up as my vision became limited from the dark night sky. I really wanted to reach into my backpack and pull out that teddy bear I had found, but their was no way on hell I was going to do that.
"Maybe I should just go back….back to Nick, Pete, Luke….everyone." I sighed in defeat, realizing that they had been on my mind since the second I left. Knowing by now they would already be sleeping, well most of them would be. I started my journey back to them, realising that a world without people you love, isnt a world worth living.
