Chapter 10: Carver Strikes Back

Clementine's POV

I can't believe it! Thomas is kissing me! I didn't know he liked me, I just thought we were friends all though I had feelings for him I never knew he had them for me as well. But I'm glad he did cause know we can more than friends…at least I hope we can be. As for now I just enjoyed the kiss, I felt amazing he had very soft lips and it just felt so good. When he pulled back I saw that there were tears rolling down his cheek probably because I said I wanted to stay with Kenny.

"Clem I'm sorry I…I just really like you and-" he started but I just hugged him a tightly as I could not wanting him to cry and longer.

"I like you too" I softly said.

"Y-you do" he asked a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Of course I do! You're sweet, cute and always want the best for everyone why wouldn't I like you" I asked him. He finally laid his arms around me as well and pulled me closer to him then I already was.

"You don't know how happy I am to hear that" he said hearing the happiness in his voice.

It was silent after that I couldn't hear a single sound besides the beating of Thomas his heart. I knew that there were people around us but I didn't care. I just wanted to enjoy this moment with Thomas.

"So…you two are boyfriend and girlfriend now" Luke asked breaking the silence. Thomas and I looked at Luke not letting go of each other. Thomas then looked at me and I smiled at him and he smiled.

"I'll take that a yes" Nick chuckled. After that we just continued dinner like nothing happened except Thomas and I held hands the entire time. He was left handed and I right handed so with our other hand we used that one for holding hands. During the remaining time of dinner nobody on our table talked much but on Thomas's group table everyone was talking but too soft for us to hear probably because it was about Thomas and me. After dinner Thomas went help Walter with the dishes while the rest of us could relax after a whole week of walking. It was quite nice I had start talking to Sarita and Rebecca about Thomas when outside the wind turbine they used for electricity had started spinning out of control. Everyone raced outside except Rebecca and Alvin, Rebecca because of obvious reasons and Alvin because he had to make sure she stayed safe.

"That sounds is gonna attract walkers we have to shut it down" Kenny yelled once all outside.

"Nick help me carry the guns" Carlos ordered. When they got back everyone got handed a gun including me.

"That thing is a damn dinner bell" Kenny shouted before running towards it. When we arrived we some weird sounds in the distance.

"What the hell was that" Luke asked. He got his answer quickly, the ski lodge lost its electricity.

"Dammit. Transform musta gone." Kenny said.

"Gotta check it. I could use a hand" Kenny asked. Luke was the first to volunteer and they ran off in the distance.

Sarita opened the door to the power of the wind turbine but it was too dark to see anything.

"Shit. Does anyone have a light" Carlos asked. I remembered I still had my lighter I had found when I was with Christa. I quickly grabbed and lighted it to show a key and a power button with a keyhole in it, I grabbed a key and put it in the power button and turned it off. The wind turbine slowed down and stopped quickly afterwards.

"Something ain't right" Nick pointed out. And if on cue the walkers popped up behind the trees.

"We don't have much ammunition so make your shots count" Carlos suggested.

Everyone had their guns ready and pointed them at the approaching walkers. Nobody seemed to disobey Carlos considering they killed all the walkers they shot at not wasting ammo. A few walkers getting real close by and just when I was about to shoot CLICK. I had ran out of bullets.

Thomas's POV

I saw that Clem was getting surrounded by walkers and quickly put a couple of bullets in their heads. After they were dead she looked and me and smiled, I smiled back and gave her a nod.

"Get back to the lodge, GO" dad shouted. We all started running towards the lodge when I heard screaming behind me. I looked back to see that a walker to a giant chomp out of Matthew's neck.

"NO" I screamed while running over to him. On my way there I was able to shoot and bullet through the walker's head but Matthew was already bit. He was laying on the ground, his hands on the bite. I saw more walkers approach but I didn't wanna let Matthew so I tried to pick him up I then remembered I was not strong enough to lift up an adult and dropped him again.

"S…ho-t mi" he was able to say. I didn't want to but I didn't want to let the man suffer any long then he had to so I shot a bullet through his head. I ran to the lodge after that I was about to run inside when I heard machine gun fire. When I was in the lodge Clem towards me and pulled me in a hug.

"Where did you go" she asked concerned.

"I'll explain in a sec" I said breaking free of her hug and looking out the window only to see Carver and a couple of his men approach the lodge with machine guns pointed at our group members.

"Fuck…EVERYONE UPSTAIRS" I yelled to the everyone inside. Me, Clem, Alvin and Rebecca raced upstairs just in time. The door opened the moment everyone was upstairs.

"Is that who I think it is" Alvin whispered.

"Yes it's Carver" I whispered back.

"Shit what are we gonna do" Rebecca asked.

"REBECCA! Our baby deserves to be raised in a place of safety" Carver yelled "If you don't show yourself we are going to have to make things more difficult". It was silent for a couple of seconds for I heard my dad scream in agony.

"Of course he has to beat up the only doctor in the fucking group" I hissed.

"We have to go down there, Bec" Alvin suggested.

"We can't he'll kill you" Rebecca replied worried.

"And if we don't he'll the only man who can help with the birth of your baby" I said.

"You only say that's because he is your dad" she snarled.

"Thomas is right. He is a doctor and you'll need one for the baby" Clem backed me up.

"They're right, Bec" Alvin said. Rebecca didn't seem to like that her husband was not backing her up but she knew he was right.

"Bill! Stop!" she yelled when she stood up. All four us went down stairs and got our hands bound together then we got placed by the rest of the group on the ground. I was placed right next to Walter who look worried but I doubt he was worried about the situation.

"Thomas have you seen Matthew" he asked.

"H…he got bitten and asked me to shoot" I told him honest.

"I…I don't feel to good" he said looking at the ground.

"Where's Luke" Carver asked us but no one replied "Finally cut his tail and ran doesn't su-" before Carver could continue a gun shot was heard and killed one of his guards. All of the other guards hid behind support pillars while Carver looked at the group and grabbed Walter and brought him to the middle of the lodge.

"Rot in hell you fu-" Walter started but go killed before he could finish.

"That's for our man, now I didn't wanna do this so come down here before I will kill another of your friends" Carver threatened. The shooter either Kenny or Luke didn't listen and shot at Carver but missed. He then walked over towards Alvin and dragged him to the middle. Before anyone could do or say anything Clem had sprinted towards the middle in attempt to save Alvin. But before she could do anything Carver hit her in the stomach and grabbed her instead and put his gun to her head.

"STOP RIGHT FUCKING THERE CARVER" I yelled without realizing it "YOU DARE PULL THAT TRIGGER AND YOU WILL SUFFER A FATE WORSE THEN HELL". Carver looked at me but didn't let go of Clem, he was seconds away from pulling the trigger when Kenny came walking in with his hands in the air. He left Clem and she and Kenny were placed by the rest of us. Clem came as close to me as she could and smiled me and softly whispered: "Thank you".

"It's time to go home…as a family" Carver said as he made us follow him back to his hellish camp.
