Luke's POV:
10 minutes earlier
Luke went looking around the car garage for batteries that fit the camera. He saw some steel drawer and searched them. In one of the draws he found a monkey wrench. Could be useful. He put the monkey wrench on one of the crates used to block the door.
He then thought back to the time when he and Clem were pushing the door, stopping them from getting in. She looked exhausted, yet she still kept pushing. She keeps going like this, she's going to end up hurting herself.
Luke drew his attention away from the crates and looked at a window into the old office. He saw Clementine searching through her backpack. Pete and Nick were hovering across the door way. He saw the three of 'em laughing.
He then searched through more of the drawers and found some AAA batteries, he checked to see if they would fit the recorder, but they were too small. Damn. He searched through more drawers and finally found some batteries that would fit.
"Finally." He mumbled to himself as he put the batteries in the camera. He pressed the power button and it turned on, making a quiet beeping noise. "Finally, I best give it to…" His voice was paused when he saw something on the video recorder.
It was Clementine. She was kneeling over a fire with a woman next to her. "The fuck?" Luke pressed play.
"Carry on the way you're going and you'll be a fine treasure for a man." The other woman said, Luke figured this woman was Christa, the one who Clementine was with before He and Pete found her.
"That's fucking true, look at her, the other woman ain't worth it, but that one. I'd fuck her any day!" Luke was outraged, his was grinding his teeth together. Motherfucker…
Luke then realised that this must've happened before they met, then it hit him. The people filming it were the bandits that attacked her.
Clementine was moving away from the fire and into the woods. "She's alone, boss, what d'you say?" The camera turned to a man on a radio.
"Fine, have your fun, make sure you bring her back alive…I got plans for her." That voice! It was Carver! "That motherfucking pig!" Luke shouted, then he realised what he did and looked towards the office, none of them had come out yet.
Carver. Carver was the one who attacked her. There was a good side though, since Carver was on the radio, he didn't see Clementine. So he has no idea who she is or what she looked like. So in case they ran into Carver later, Clem would be safe.
"Alright then, sneak up on her and it's easy picking." The stranger joked as he stayed behind and filmed the whole thing. "You stay here, Troy probably wouldn't believe us if we go up saying we fucked her. I just want physical evidence." That mother fucker! Luke punched the worktop, putting a dent in its surface.
The cameraman stayed as he filmed Clementine searching the ground, probably looking for firewood. One of the men came up behind her and put the rifle up against the back of her head.
The camera had cut off for a moment, then it came back on to a moment when Clementine was surrounded by the other men.
"I'm by myself." She answered, with a voice as cold as ice. "That's bullshit! You honestly expect us to believe you're out here on your own?" The coloured man said violently, waving the gun in her face. Fucking bastards!
"No, I expect you to get the hell outta here before I put a bullet through your head." God, she knows how to piss people off…"And how the fuck d'you expect to do that, you're a stupid girl for fuck's sake!"
"Hey, don't judge a book by its cover, I might not look it but I'm pretty dangerous." The man with the long, dark hair scoffed. "Right about the pretty, not sure about the dangerous…"
Luke's anger only grew, at this point he was grinding his teeth so hard his teeth would turn to powder if he grinded them any harder.
Clementine was about to kick him in 'that area' when she was stopped by the rifle touching her forehead. Clementine and the man were having a stare battle.
"You're right about that, why don't we have some fun?" The man stepped closer to Clementine, making her step back. "I think I'd rather have a bullet through my head." The man stopped smiling and moved the gun closer, until the gun was basically staring at Clem while she had her arms crossed. She kept calm, she didn't move and kept her arms folded. How's she so calm?
Luke noticed the man's anger build. "You think I won't?" Clementine kept staring. "Go ahead, I really couldn't give a shit what you do." How the fuck can she say that?
The man placed his finger on the trigger when a rock flew out of nowhere, it hit one of the men in the eye. "Fuck!" The man shouted holding his eye. Clementine looked around, startled by the change of tension.
"Clem! Run!" It was the woman from earlier, Clementine heeded her words and ran as fast as she could. The bandit's startled by Clem's escape they split up, the one with the longish hair went after the other woman, while the rest went after Clem. "Get back here, bitch!" The men shouted while chasing Clementine into the woods.
The video cut off again, to a moment Luke wished he never seen.
Clementine kicked and struggled to get free. "Get. Off. Me!" She shouted in between breaths. "Uh uh, I don't think so, me and you have got…stuff to do."
The man threw Clementine onto the floor, making her hit her head off a rock, causing it to bleed. She turned and found the man right on top of her. The man grabbed her wrists and pulled her down.
"Don't fucking touch her!" Luke shouted to himself, almost forgetting it was just a video of what happened before.
Clem kicked and struggled to allow herself an opportunity to run, but the bandit was too strong. "Leave me alone!" The man didn't speak, just laughed as Clementine tried helplessly to get free.
Luke punched the work top again.
"You know, it's a shame I have to kill you after…" The man got in closer and put his mouth towards Clementine's neck, giving her the love bite.
Luke watched the moments replay, Luke wondered if she was telling the truth about how it 'nearly' happened. The man placed his hand into his pocket and pulled out a knife. He then plummeted it down into Clementine's arm, causing her own blood to squirt in her face. She placed her legs underneath the man's torso while his guard was down and kicked him off. Quickly she jumped back up and punched him in the face with her good arm as soon as he stood up, which caused him to land into a walker's grasp.
"SHIT!" the man shouted while his flesh was slowly being devoured. Clementine was surrounded by a small group of walkers, Luke desperately wanted to help.
She pulled the knife out of her arm, causing her to squeal slightly, as she was trying her best to not draw anymore walkers. Fucking hell… there were too many to fight, there was a group of around 15 surrounding her. Out of fear she stepped back slowly, only to slip against the cliff and fall.
"Clem!" Luke said while punching the wall over and over again.
"Shit! I got to get outta here!" the man filming it went to turn around. He dropped the camera giving it full view of his limbs being ripped apart. The video finished.
Luke was horrified. "I'll kill him…I'll fucking kill him!" Luke repeated himself over and over again. He was referring to Carver.
Luke had to make sure Clementine never saw this again, if she saw it, she'd probably have a mental breakdown.
He walked into the office and saw Clem, the one he just witnessed get abused and nearly raped. Pete noticed him enter the room. "Luke?" Pete asked, walking towards him. "Luke, what's up?" Nick asked second. Luke noticed Clementine was looking at him.
"Luke, you okay?" Clementine asked last walking towards him. Luke kept looking at her, then at the video recorder. Shit! Why'd I bring it with me!
"Give me the recorder." Clem said quietly, holding out her hand for him to give it to her. "You don't want to see it. Trust me." Luke said as he looked at Clementine more. "Luke, give it." Clementine ordered.
Luke refused to give her the recorder, so she snatched it out of his hands. He went to get it back when he was stopped by Pete's hand. Luke watched helplessly as he saw Clementine watch the video.
Clementine's POV:
Clementine's eyes started to water, she felt tears run down her face as she watched her attack over again. All of it was a bit of a blur, Clem could only pick out random moments. "Look at her, the other woman ain't worth it, but that one. I'd fuck her any day!"
"Uh uh, I don't think so, me and you have got…stuff to do."
"Fine, have your fun, make sure you bring her back alive…I got plans for her." Nick and Pete's eyes widened. "Was that who I think it was?" Nick asked, while Clementine continued to watch.
"It was fucking Carver, Clem isn't working for him because he was the one who fucking attacked her!" Luke was shouting from the top of his voice.
Clementine continued to watch the horror. The video had finished, at the moment she fell into the river. Not only did she get attacked, but people were filming it too. There are some sick, twisted people out there these days. Clementine's tears continued to run down her face. Yet her facial expression didn't change.
"Clem, I'm so sor-" Pete's apology was stopped by Clementine throwing the video recorder of the floor and stomping on it, causing it to shatter completely. Clementine removed her foot of the floor and stepped back, trying to hold back her tears. Showing nothing but rage on her face.
Clementine was silent for a moment, before she pushed her way through the three men and stepped outside the office.
"I need a minute." She said as she wrapped her one arm around her torso, the other one covering her face. She stepped out and noticed Luke step out too, but he was soon stopped by Pete.
Clementine continued to walk away from the group until she found a small window, behind a wall so the others couldn't see her. She sat on the windowsill hugging her legs and simply looked outside, staring into the woods which were now getting darker as the sun was starting to set.
She wiped her tears and continued to watch the sun sink into the trees.
