Chapter 21: It Can't All Be Sunshine And Roses.
Clementine's POV
After I had safely hang the hat to my belt I started looking around the rest of the museum, it was very cool to see all kinds of old civil war things. One of the cannons that was here looked a lot like the one at the deck, maybe Thomas and I could sneak out later and have some more fun here. I gained a smile just from the idea but I quickly made it disappear before Mike or Bonnie could ask why I was smiling like a moron. Near one of the cannons I saw some sort of coat or jacket laying on the ground, I quickly went over to it and picked it up.
"This can keep someone warm" I smiled showing the coat to Bonnie and Mike.
"It sure can but isn't that the…confederate colour? You know the colour of the opposite team" Mike asked.
"I don't think that matters anymore in the zombie apocalypse" I smirked towards him. He shrugged before starting to look around again. I started doing the same but I really couldn't see or find anything, the museum was pretty much empty besides the civil war stuff and most of it was useless to us. There was one room we hadn't looked in but I doubt it would have anything useful.
"What about that room? Have you guys been in there" I asked them pointing towards it. Bonnie shook her head.
"We were too busy looking around the main part of the museum that we forgot about it" Mike replied.
"Guess we gotta do that now" Bonnie said gaining a nod from both Mike and me. The three of us walked over towards the door and looked at it like it was some mysterious thing.
"Should we just kick it in or what" Mike asked.
"We should find out if there are walkers beyond it then we can kick it in" Bonnie suggested. I walked over to the door and knocked in it a couple of times. It was silent for a couple of seconds before I started to hear growling coming from beyond the door, it sounded like there was only one walker.
"It sounds like just one" Mike commented.
"Mike, you can kick the door open and me and Clem can double team it" Bonnie suggested. Mike and I nodded, I grabbed out my axe and held onto it tight. Mike took a deep breath and the door a hard kick smashing it open. A walker came stumbling outside looking at us very hungrily, Bonnie tackled the walker giving me an opening to kill it, I dashed towards and before it got up I slammed my axe into its brain killing it on impact.
"Jackpot" I heard Mike say. I looked up and saw 2 kegs full of cleaned water.
"Guess this room was worth looking over" I smiled. I walked over to one of the kegs and Mike to another I tried to lift it up but it was too heavy for me to lift.
"Here allow me" Mike smiled lifting both kegs.
"Wow you are strong Mike" I smiled towards him.
"Something you gotta become in a world like this" he grinned.
"What? Are you calling her weak" Bonnie chuckled.
"She's stronger then you, so no I'm not calling her weak" Mike teased.
"Oh haha, shall we go back" Bonnie asked with a grin on her face. Mike and I stood up and followed Bonnie outside it looked like that this was gonna be a good day.
Thomas's POV.
I let out a huge yawn as I slowly opened my eyes this was exactly what I needed. Some goddamn sleep. I stretched my whole body after a couple of long days I finally I felt good. I had felt good but not good-good. I opened my eyes and saw…clothes? The hell? Why were there clothes spread a cross the ground…I think those are Luke's and Jane's…OH DON'T TELL ME. I slowly crawled over the floor and looked around the deck and I found what I thought I did….Luke and Jane getting it on. I slapped my hand in front of me as quickly as I could because I need to hold my laughter back. After a little while I was okay and stood up and looked at them. I crossed my arms over my chest before interrupting them.
"Mind if I join in" I said surprising both of them.
"Thomas" they said at the time getting of each other and covering their private parts.
"Did you forget I was taking a nap here, Jane" I asked her grinning. Her eyes widened and she mumbled something like: "Oh shit".
"Thomas can you not tell the others about this" Luke asked.
"Depends on if I can join or not" I joked receiving the finger from Jane.
"Just kidding" I grinned before walking away from the deck. I heard the two of them talk about something while I was walking down the stairs, I really needed to tell the others this but I don't want an angry Jane after me so I'll keep it to myself. I was walking to the others in a very good mood whistling a bit even until I heard Rebecca scream, I started to run as fast as I could and raced towards the group. When I was running towards the I saw that Clem, Mike and Bonnie had come back from the museum as well.
"What's wrong" I asked them once I got close.
"I think…I think I'm gonna give birth" she said in between screams. Before anyone could say anything I heard the moans and growls of walkers and quickly I saw them appear from the treeline. Wasn't someone supposed to watch for those things?...LUKE YOU SON OF A BITCH!
"Everybody head to the deck" I called out and everyone started running towards the deck. Rebecca didn't go to fast so Sarita and I helped her as best we could. When we came at the deck I saw Luke and Jane talking to each other…at least they were fully dressed. I sprinted towards them leaving Rebecca in Sarita's hands.
"YOU FUCKED UP REAL GOOD LUKE" I yelled at him.
"What? What's wrong" he asked.
"WALKERS ARE COMING OUR WAY WEREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO LOOK FOR THEM" I asked him.
"Oh shit" he mumbled. Once Rebecca was up we closed the door that was on the stairs so the walkers couldn't get to us. Rebecca had indeed started to give birth and considering Kenny had a family once he was there to help her while the rest was shooting down walkers that got to close.
"That gate won't last long" Mike pointed out.
"There are more on the way" Sarita yelled who was looking over the edge to see how many walkers were coming at us.
"Clem let's block of the gate with the cannon" I called out racing towards the cannon Clem not far behind. We started pushing the cannon together it went perfectly well, but then the floor underneath the cannon broke and a part of the deck was going to fall apart.
"Everyone get back" I yelled. Everyone started to run as far as they could Sarita was the furthest away and ran as quick as she could but to no avail before she reached us the deck broke and she fell down, she was able to grab a piece of wood but it was about to break. I quickly ran and dived towards her grabbing her hand in time.
"Don't worry I got you" I said trying to pull her up. She wasn't that heavy and I would be able to pull her if I used my second which I did. I started pulling her up when all the sudden she got pulled down hard. I still had my grip on her but it was getting quite loose. I looked and saw that 2 walkers had each grabbed a leg of her.
"Shit…LET GO YOU FUCKS" I yelled.
"Thomas…if this keeps up they will pull us both down" she said looking me in the eyes…eye.
"I WON'T LET YOU GO" I yelled at her.
"If you died trying to safe me I couldn't forgive myself that so let go" she almost commanded. I looked at her and she just nodded quickly I felt guilt take me over and tears started to roll down my cheek.
"I'm sorry Sarita" I softly spoke, I left her go. She fell down and quickly after that I heard her screams…I would hear these for days on end in my nightmares.
-Guess you can't save anyone Thomas Poor Sarita she didn't deserve death but sadly she did get it. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter next chapter will cover the last part of Episode 4 and after that I will make a sort of my own Episode 5…I hope you guys will like it :D
