Warning: Quite adorable, in my eyes anyway...T.T

Anyway, hope you like chapter 11 :)


Luke's POV:

Shit… "What was on that thing, and why was Carver on it?" Nick asked as Luke saw Clementine walk behind a wall, making herself unseen.

Luke turned towards the two men and explained the situation. "The recorder belonged to the bandits that attacked her, they filmed the whole thing. Carver was on one of the radios. Looks like they were working for Carver." Luke said folding his arms.

Pete walked over to the pieces which were once a video recorder, but were just bits of glass and programming pieces. "How bad was it?" He asked as he kicked it out of the way. "Terrible…" Luke said rubbing his forehead, which Clem had not so long ago bandaged for him.

"Scared the crap outta me." Nick said while walking out of the room towards the front door, which lurkers had gave up banging on, but they were still walking around outside. Luke and Pete followed him.

Luke looked outside and saw the sun setting. "This place looks safe enough to spend the night. The rest ain't gonna find us." Luke pointed out, the two men nodded their heads. Luke noticed Pete was looking at the wall Clementine hid herself, then looked back at Luke and Nick. "I better go talk to her." Pete said, as if it was almost perfect timing Clementine appeared.

"Talk to me 'bout what?" Clementine walked up to the three men. "You okay?" Nick asked, de-folding his arms and dropping them to his sides. "Yeah, just needed some air, anyways, what did you wanna tell me?" She just been through all that and now she's acting as if nothing happened… She's one strong girl.

"Well, the rest of the group ain't gonna find us, we were on about stayin' here the night. Or until it settles down outside." Pete stated while standing his rifle on the wall. "Makes sense." Clementine answered as she folded her arms. "Should probably get ready though, who knows when we'll be leaving'" Nick stated, Clementine started to walk away.

"I'll get my stuff together." Clementine then entered the office and started packing her things. "Tough as nails…" Pete said gobsmacked. "Yeah, she is…"

Clementine's POV:

Clementine was still thinking about the video, but then as she stepped into the office she saw its remains. "Can't hurt me anymore." She said sarcastically, pulling out a smile. With that she realised she had to move on, because if you let things drag on you, they're going to pull you down.

She started grabbing her things and placing them back in the bag, including the three bottles of water she had given out, which weren't exactly filled with water. She packed her things and turned around to find Nick blocking her way, making her jump slightly.

"Jesus Nick, don't scare me like that!" Clementine grumbled. "Sorry, didn't mean to make you shit your pants." He said laughing. "You didn't, just made me jump." Clementine said, chuckling also.

"Pete said that chances are they won't thin out until morning." Nick said looking back. Clementine nodded. "So we're stayin' the night?"

"Looks that way." It was quiet for a bit before Nick spoke again. "You sure you're okay? Because Luke told me about yesterday, 'bout your hickey?" He asked rubbing the back of his head.

Clementine pulled her grey jacket more over her neck, where the mark was. "Did he? Well, I'm good, I'm over it now." Nicks eyes widened, then he punched Clementine's shoulder lightly.

"You're one tough bastard, you know that right?" Clementine smiled and laughed. "Have to be a tough bastard to live in this shithole of a world."

"You're right there." He walked out the office, Clementine following closely.

"Oh, and eh, thanks for saving Pete at the stream. Never got the chance to say it before." Nick smiled while rubbing Clementine's hat. "No prob." She said simply.

Nick went to talk to his uncle, so Clementine thought it would be a good idea to have a conversation with Luke. Quickly she grabbed her axe and walked over to Luke, who was sitting on a workbench.

"Hey." Clementine stated as she pulled herself up on the bench and sat next to him. "Hi, how you doin'?" Luke asked as he scooched over giving Clem some room on the bench. "Good, you?" Clementine placed her axe next to her. "Good, you know, considering we're stuck here."

"Would you rather be stuck out there?" Clementine smiled, Luke smiled also. "Good point." The two laughed.

Clem noticed Pete and Nick were asleep by the crates. "So, you like Nick?" Luke said as he rubbed the bandages on his forehead. Clementine immediately darted upright.

"What! No!" Clementine stated. "Hey, don't forget, you asked me the same thing this mornin'" Luke joked, Clementine smiled slightly.

The two were interrupted by the two men snoring. "Like sawing logs." Clem said sarcastically, making Luke chuckle. "Redwoods." Luke added, the two laughed. Clementine noticed Luke kept rubbing his head.

"Headache?" Clementine asked as Luke kept rubbing his bandages. "Feel like my brains shrunk into a ping pong ball and keeps bouncing around." Luke chuckled, but Clementine kept serious.

Clementine stood up and went to take the bandages off. "It's nothing Clem, don't worry 'bout it." Luke said hesitantly, but Clem could tell he was lying. "You're a terrible liar. I can get some of the swelling down, might help a bit." Clementine ushered as she slowly took off the bandages.

"How'd you know all this stuff? You know, medicine and all that stuff?" Luke asked as Clem removed the bandages. "My mom was a doctor, taught me a bit of stuff before. Thought it was important I knew, despite my dad thinking learning about cars was more important." Clem laughed.

"Your dad a mechanic?" Luke asked while Clementine grabbed some arnica cream from her backpack. "Engineer, I worked on a few vehicles with him, worked on a helicopter once." Luke smiled slightly, as Clementine put some of the cream on the piece of her shirt she used earlier.

"What's that?" Luke asked before Clementine started dabbing the substance on his forehead. "Arnica cream, it'll help stop the swelling and bruising, works wonders for me." She said sarcastically as she pointed to some marks on her arms and face.

She finished dabbing the cream on and re wrapped the bandages.

"Sorry, 'bout that video. I tried to stop you but…" Luke was stopped by Clementine who spoke immediately after he finished. "I'm over it, just freaked me out a bit when those guys were talking 'bout me like that."

"Tell me 'bout it, hit the bench how many times." Luke said pointing to the bench he was punching. Clem looked at it, there was a huge dent in its surface.

"Damn, you must have been pissed." Clem said sarcastically. She finished wrapping the bandages and placed her stuff back in the bag.

"Where'd you get that bag anyway?" Luke asked as Clementine sat on the bench again. "One of the bandits was out on the stream. He wasn't going to make it. He asked me to put him out of his misery, so I did."

"He didn't deserve it!" Luke said angrily. Clementine was hesitant at first, but she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"It's called mercy Luke, if I didn't I'd be just as bad as them. That's something I'm not willing to do." Luke slowly nodded, Clem was happy he understood that she didn't want to become a monster.

"I used the axe he had." Clem said while she picked the axe up from the side of her. "He must've took my backpack too, luckily all my stuff's still in it."

She picked up her backpack and double checked, she still had her photo of Lee, the photo of her and her parents and the drawing of Kenny, Katjaa and Duck that he drew and gave to her.

"Who's that?" Luke asked pointing to the photo of her and her parents. She passed the photos and drawing to Luke and pointed out the individuals.

"That's Lee, That's me with my mom and dad. And that's a drawing my friend Duck did. It's him with his dad and mom, Kenny and Katjaa."

"Damn, your hair's really big!" Luke joked, Clementine laughed along with him. "I know it's stupid I keep these with me, but whenever I'm down, they help me out a bit."

"I don't think it's stupid, it's nice to have things to remember people you care about." Luke said giving her the stuff back. She placed it back in the bag and zipped it up.

"Better get some sleep while we can." Luke said while yawning. "Yeah." Clementine went to stand up before Luke stopped her.

"Don't you want to stay here?" Luke said awkwardly. Clementine waited for him to explain. "I mean, it's kinda cold, I thought if we stuck together, maybe we'd be warmer." Clem thought about it for a moment, but then she settled back down and tucked her knees into her chest. "Night." Clem said while shuffling over a bit. "Night Clem." Luke said while he rubbed his eyes and yawned. Clementine closed her eyes and fell asleep.
