(Vincent's pov)
I woke up to another bucket of water being splashed on me as I woke up and I jolt up a bit and looked up to see Lilly looking at me and she grabs me by the collar of my shirt and lifting me up and I glare at her a bit as she shoved me to the wall as she let me go. I stay standing as I look at her more and she looks at me as well.
"Get ready." She says and throws some clothes at me and I catch them and look at the clothes. They were a black pair of Cargo Pants, a long slaved black shirt with a black heavy jacket to go along with it, there was a tan belt and black socks to go with it. I shivered a bit due to the cold and I look up to see her leaving the cell and I set the clothes on the bed and change into the new clothes. It wouldn't be good for me to freeze to death because of these fuckers.
"You done yet?" I hear and I look up to see a familiar face as I came up to the cell doors and I looked at her.
"S-Sophie?" I asked as I looked to her and she looked back to me and I chuckled a bit.
"Jesus it is you." I say as I looked at her up and down a bit.
"Vincent? It's been so long." She says and I nod as she opened the door for me and I give her the biggest hug I could give.
"Oww ok you bear." She says and I set her down and I look to her and she looked to my face.
"Lilly told me to take you to the medic, make sure you don't have any damage that's all." She says and I grab her hand before she moved away.
"No, we have to get out of here." I tell her and she looked to me.
"Why?" She asked.
"This place these people aren't good, you know that." I say.
"Vincent, these people are good, you just need to know them a bit better." She says and I look at her.
"Sophie." I say.
"Vincent just give them a try, you'll see they're good people, they just need people to help defend their home, my home." She says.
"Your home? What about Tennessee? And Louis, and Omar." I asked as I looked to her.
"They can join, they should have come last night, it would have been easier." She says and I look to her.
"We don't want to be apart of this, we just wanted to stay in our home, the school." I say and she looked to me.
"Come on Vincent, let's get you checked out." She says and I followed her as she took me to a room on the ship and the medic looked me over a bit and I looked at them.
"Hmm, nothing serous just a huge bruise, on the side of your face." The man says and I looked to him.
"Thank you Dr. Linguard." Sophie says and the man nods as we leave and I look to her as she takes me to the top of the deck.
"Where's Minnie?" I asked her.
"You'll see her in a bit, she's in charge of new recruits." Sophie explained and I looked to her then looked around a bit and saw Minnie and I rubbed my neck a bit as she turned to look at me.
"Vincent?... they got you?" She asked and I just looked at her.
"Um… is he the only one?" Minnie asked someone and I turned to see Lilly glaring at me.
"Sadly yes, but it seems he's pretty good with defending, well besides the stab wound he has." She says as she looked to me. I watched her as she walked around me and I felt her grab my jacket as she pulled me to her.
"You better do as you're told or I swear to god I'll make your life a living hell." Lilly tells me and I was shoved back as I looked at her. She then left as I looked to Minnie and Sophie as they came up to me.
"She uh, grows on you." Minnie says as I look to her.
"God you finally got taller than me, Jesus." She says as she uses her hand to measure our heights and I shake my head a bit.
"Look I just want to go back home." I tell her.
"You'll be in a better home Vincent, trust us, they have running water, good food, electricity, Jesus you won't have to sit next to a fire to keep warm or have to share a bed with someone." She says and I look to her. I remember when Clementine and I slept in the same bed and I shake my head a bit as I look at the floorboard of the ship.
"I don't mind." I say quietly and I look up at them.
"Vincent just listen to us; we love it there and you will too." Minnie says and I shake my head.
"I love my home, the school is my home, our home, we can still go back." I whispered to them as a woman walked by. I remember her, she was the woman that had stabbed me last night.
"Vincent the Delta is our home." Sophie says.
"Marlon fucking gave you two away to these people, this isn't a home it's a fucking prison, you didn't know that they even existed till Marlon gave you two up." I say as I look at them.
"You've been brainwashed." I say.
"LOOK, Marlon did something good, if he didn't take us to the Delta we would have starved." Minnie says and I look at her.
"No… No, you wouldn't… I would have." I tried to say and I looked to them.
"You would have what?" Sophie asked and I looked at them.
"I would have gotten more food." I say.
"How?" She asked.
"I... I don't know." I mumbled as I looked to them.
"How is everyone anyway?" Minnie asked.
"I don't know… last I remembered I shot at Lilly when she tried to take Louis into the cage and I got stabbed." I say as I looked at them.
"Look the boat isn't going to leave for another day, due to walker activity, we can try and get the rest of the school kids if you tell them it's ok here." Minerva says and I glare at her.
"No, Lilly hit me in the head with a fucking crowbar, fuck that." I tell her and she looked to me.
"Vincent, I have been nothing but nice to you, grow the fuck up." She says and I glare at her. That's all we did until Lilly stepped in and I was taken away. I look over to the woods and see some movement a bit and I stop to try and get a good look but then I was shoved by Lilly and we walked back to the cells. I was locked back up and I rubbed my head a bit as I sat on the bed and looked at the door a bit when people walked on by. I look back up when the gated door opened and I look up to see Sophie walking in with a tray and she sets it on the small table and I look at her.
"Hungry?" She asked and I nod a bit as she handed me some water first. I look at it and then to her.
"I didn't do anything to it." She says and I slowly take a drink and hen look to her.
"You going to try to convince me to join your group?" I asked and she looked to me a bit and I look at the ground.
"I can't make that choice, but I am telling you it's a great place." She tells me and I sigh a bit as I finish the drink and set the cup on the floor and I move down to the floor. I watch as Sophie sits next to me and hands me the tray of food and I look at it. It did look good, better than what was at the school and I rub my face as I just take the roll of bread and I take a bite of it. I hand the rest of the food back to Sophie who looked at me and I looked at the wall and just ate the bread slowly.
"I know you didn't just pass up some chicken." She says and I look at her.
"I don't want any thank you." I mumbled as I look to the wall again and I eat my roll.
"I know you want to go back to the school but just give this place a chance ok?" She asked and I shook my head a bit.
"I just want to go back home." I said and I heard the gate open again and I look to see Minnie and Lilly.
"Sophie, you're needed at the medic ward." Lilly says and Sophie got up and left and I looked at the two as they stood there by the door.
"So, you don't want to join us?" Lilly asked and I looked away.
"No, none of us do." I say and she came up to me and I stood up and backed away from her.
"You're nothing but a scared child." She says.
"The fuck do you expect? Your group came to take mine, and I get stabbed and hit in the face with a fucking crowbar." I tell her and she looked to me.
"How about this… there was a group of people heading out southeast, an old man, a teenage boy, a young woman, and another man that carries a bat everywhere he goes." She says and I look to her. I knew them.
"Have you seen them? And don't lie to me." She says and I looked to her then Minnie then back to Lilly.
"What would you do to them?" I asked her.
"Nothing, the old man just killed a group member of mine, a young girl at that, and I jus want him to pay for what he did." She says and I look to her more.
"W-Why did he kill this young girl?" I asked.
"I have no clue as to why, but he killed her in cold blood." She says and I look at her more.
"What do the other have to do with it?" I asked.
"They planned it out with him, Dr. Linguard said so." She says and I think a bit.
"I… They um… I saw them yes but I have no clue of where they went." I say and she pins me to the wall.
"You're lying." She says.
"No, I'm not I swear." I tell her as she drops me and I see her grab her knife and I look at her.
"Lilly?" Minnie asked and I look at her then Lilly again.
"Tell me which direction they went and how long ago, I'll figure it out myself." She demanded and I look at her more.
"They could have gone in another direction from what I saw, look I have no clue where they hell they went ok? They just left, that's all they did was just leave." I tell her and she puts her knife away and then she punched me. I was able to grab her one hand before she did it again and she glared at me more.
"You're no better than them." She says and I let her hand go as she walked away. Minnie looked at me and I rubbed my arm.
"Jesus." I mumbled.
"I'm sorry." She says.
"No, you aren't if you were, you'd let me go, you wouldn't force me into this, you'd help me escape." I tell her as I get up and glare at her.
"But we're back together, Vincent think about it." She says as she come up to me and I watch her. I feel her hand go to my cheek and I watch her a bit as she tried to kiss me but I backed away a bit or as best as I could from the wall.
"Vince?" She asked and I watched her.
"I… We can't be back together." I tell her.
"Why not? You finally fall for Brody or something?" She asked and I look to her sadly.
"Brody is dead." I tell her and she looked to me.
"How?" she asked and I looked down a bit at the floor and away.
"How?" She asked again and I look at her.
"Marlon Killed her." I say and she looked at me.
"He wouldn't."
"He did." I tell her and she looked at me scared and I look down.
"He did kill her." I say and she looked at me.
"Why? Why would he kill her hu?" She asked as she looked at me.
"Apparently she told Clementine." I tried to say but Minnie stopped me.
"Clementine? You're going to believe her? You didn't see what happened to her? The fuck?" She asked and I look at her.
"What do you have against her? You never met her." I tell her and she looked to me.
"She's known all around, she knows the group that passed by your school, she knows Dr. Linguard too, she's the reason for everyone's fuck up." She tells me and I look at her.
"You have no fucking idea what you're talking about." I tell her.
"And what do you know about her hu? Did you fall for her charm? Is that why you don't want to be with me?" She asked and I look at her.
"The fuck does that have to do with you?" I asked.
"You fell for her?" she asked pissed.
"So, what if I did? I thought you were dead, I finished mourning you, you have a fucking boyfriend anyway." I tell her and she looked at me.
"I don't."
"Liar." I say.
"I don't, I never got anyone new." She says and I look at her and I shake my head.
"Lilly said people Lie, you have to be lying." I tell her and I shake my head and I sit on the bed.
"Just fucking go." I tell her and she does leave. I have no clue to how long I was on this boat, another night had passed and I rubbed my face as I lay down on the bed and try to relax a bit. It wasn't long till I heard some talking and I slowly sit up to see Minnie and Sophie talking to each other. I get up more and I walk to the gate but I stayed off to the side so I could listen in.
"We can let him go and say he knocked us out, he doesn't want to join at least we can give him an out unlike what we had." I hear and then more footsteps.
"Lilly?" Minnie asked and I backed up a bit as I sat in the bed and I looked to the gate as it opened up and I look up to see Lilly glaring at me.
"We leave tonight, see, your supposed friends didn't come to save you, they don't care about you, they never did." She says and I glare at her a bit and I shake my head at her.
"You're a liar, I know you are." I tell her.
"Is that so? Then where are your friends?" She asked and I looked to her.
"Planning something." I say and she laughed as she looked to me.
"You're serious? They want nothing to do with you, they would have saved you by now if they really cared about you." She says and I look down as she leaves the room and I rub my face just a bit. I look over to the side a bit and I go and sit on the bed once more.
"Vincent?" Sophie asked and I shake my head a bit.
"Leave me alone." I say quietly.
"Minnie?" I hear her say and then I hear some footsteps.
"More walkers are coming up to the boat, we might have to leave earlier than planned." I hear and I lay back on the bed. There's no point in trying to leave or do anything, I can't or Lilly would surely beat the hell out of me. I hear gun shots ring out and then I hear some yells as I slowly get up and I hear more yelling as I hurry to the gate and see Sophie.
"Vincent get back." She says and I look to her.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"People are attacking the boat, get back now." I hear and I look to Minnie as she pointed her crossbow at me and I slowly lift my hands up and back away from the door as she keeps the arrow pointed at me, ready to shoot.
"Minnie, just drop the crossbow." I say.
"Shut up." She says and I look at her a bit and I slowly dropped my hands. It wasn't long till I heard more people running around the ship and Minerva looked to her side and pointed her crossbow at someone.
"Minnie no." Sophie says as she grabs her sisters crossbow and points it down.
"Louis?" Minnie asked and I quickly went to the gate but Minnie brought her crossbow up quickly and shot at me missing me by an inch as I look to her.
"Minnie." I say as I look at her.
"Get back." She says and she looked to Louis. I look at her more and I hear more yelling.
"Jesus fuck." I hear and it was Clementine's voice.
"CLEM?!" I yell out.
"VINCE?!" She called out and I see Minnie glaring at me as she points the crossbow at me once more this time she had the arrow in an open space of the bars and I watch her as she looked to me.
"Take one step and I will shoot him." She says and I look at her sadly.
"Minnie don't." I tell her.
"DON'T WHAT?!" She yells and I look at her. She glares at me and watch her.
"You're going to leave, you're just going to leave us, for a shittier life than what we're offering you, you're a fucking fool Vincent." She says as she looks at me then I hear her.
"Drop your weapon." Clementine says and I slowly go up to the cell bars. The crossbows arrow pointed right at my chest as I look to Minnie who had tears in her eyes.
"Fuck you Clementine." She says.
"Don't do anything stupid." Louis says.
"Minnie, you and Sophie can come back with us…. Marlon is gone… you can come home." I tell her and she glares at me her finger on the trigger.
"Minnie, you know you don't want to do this, you'll regret it." I tell her and she looked at me.
"Lock them up Sophie." She tells her sister and I watch as the other members on the boat lock up Louis, Clementine and AJ. I look at Minnie more as she glares at me.
"They come for you just like that but you couldn't do the same for me, do you know how fucked up that is." She says and I look at her.
"Minnie we were told that you and Sophie died, what was I suppose to do?" I asked as she looked at me more, she was pissed.
"You should have asked questions." She said.
"You're right, we should have asked more questions, I wasn't thinking, I was just… I thought you and Sophie were gone I was in a bad place you have to understand that." I tell her and the next thing I know, Lilly is walking down the hall and she looked at me.
"Good job Minnie." She says and she turned to Clementine and Louis's cell and I glare at Minnie as she looked to me.
"Thank you, ma'am." Minnie replies and I look around a bit and the boat rocks a bit and there's a loud bang that hits from my floor and I back up.
"What's going on?" Lilly asked and I looked around as some wood broke from my floor and I back up and cover my eyes a bit.
"Fucking hell." Ii say as I back up more.
"Vincent." Minnie called out and I look to her.
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Lilly yells at clementine and then shakes her head as she runs and I look to Minnie.
"Let us out now." I tell her.
"I…" She tried to say but Sophie shoved her as she got AJ and the others out but Minnie blocked off my door.
"Minnie god damn it let me out." I tell her.
"NO!" She yelled at me.
"Fucking Let him out." Clementine says as she glared to Minnie and the boat rocked again.
"Fucking hell you're willing to let Vincent die?" Sophie says pissed and I try to unlock the gate myself but Minnie pointed the crossbow at me again.
"I'll do it myself if I have to now back away." Minnie says and I look at her more.
"Just… Clem, Louis just go." I tell them.
"Vincent." Louis says and I look at him.
"Go now." I say and he looked at us then to Clementine as he grabbed her.
"No." Clementine says and I look at her.
"Clem just go… I'll be ok." I tell her as I look at Minnie who just didn't take her eyes off me.
"I."
"GO!" I yelled and then there was another bang and the boat rocked more and I saw as Clem left but I knew she stopped to look at me. I just looked at Minnie.
"Is this how we go down?" I asked.
"I don't want this but…. You can't leave." She says and I look at her more.
"You… you're willing to let me die… just because you don't want me to leave?" I asked her as she looked at me.
"I.. You didn't save me or Sophie… you don't know what we went through." She says and I watch her.
"Minnie, Just come back tot the school with us, that's all you have to do." I tell her and she looked at me. That's when the Boat shook again and the blast was closer to me and I backed up as the ship broke in half and I look at her.
"MINNIE!" I yelled as I look at her before a plank of wood hit me right in the head I held it for a bit and I looked back at her. She looked to me scared and then shook her head and she opened the door and I grab her hand and we run out. I had no idea where we were going but the last thing I remember was one finally blast as we made it from the boat and fell into the water. I had no idea where Minnie had went but as I broke the surface of the water I look to the side and cough a bit as I see land. I try to swim to it but I was dragged down and I look to see a walker. I freaked out as I kicked the damn thing and it had let go of my leg as I finally got to the shore and I cough more as I look around a bit.
"Vincent?" I hear and I look around my head hurting and I couldn't see out of one of my eyes.
"Fuck, Fuck, Fucking hell." I mumbled as I look around and held my right palm to my right eye.
"Vincent?" I hear again and I look around and then up at Clementine who came up to me.
"Jesus fuck what happened?" She asked as she looked at my eye a bit.
"Doesn't matter… where's Minnie and Sophie?" I asked as I looked around a bit.
"Sophie is with Ruby, I have no clue where Minnie went but fucking hell." She says and I look around as best as I could and there were walkers. I grabbed Clem as we looked around and found an opening and we hid behind some rocks.
"The others left." AJ says, and I look to Tenn a bit as I hear this.
"What?" I asked.
"Walkers were surrounding them they had no choice." AJ says and I nod a bit as we look around more.
"There's an opening that way." I say as we all got ready and ran past the walkers. It wasn't long till we met up with someone and I stopped as I was about to attack but Clementine stopped me.
"It's James, he helped us." AJ says and I nod a bit.
"Fine let's just fucking go." I say as I look around more and James takes us through a cave. I look around and see running water.
"It's the waterfall." I mumbled as I look around more and a walker came floating down the river in a tube and I look to Clementine as she looked around the water and she grabbed a stick and lit it on fire so we could see better.
"How do we get across?" I asked as I looked around some more.
"Look a log." Tenn says and I turn to see where he was pointing and I head over to the log and I see Clementine come to my side.
"We can make a bridge to walk across." She says and I nod as Me, Clem and James pushed the log and it made a bridge and I look to see the walkers coming to us.
"Go." I say as AJ, Tenn, James, And Clem walked across the log and I followed behind them. Once I crossed over James and I grabbed the log and we shoved it so the walkers couldn't cross and neither could any of the raiders. It wasn't long till we started walking again and we got to a huge cave opening with three ways to go through.
"Look, we need to stop." James says and I shake my head.
"No fuck that man, I'm not going to be walker food and neither is my family." I say as I look around.
"No, we need to talk about what AJ did." He says and I look to him confused then to Clementine and AJ.
"What? We can do that later." I say and look to the walls again and think.
"He shot that woman, Lilly." James says and I look at them.
"So? She fucking deserved it." I say.
"You're kidding right? You're ok with him being a killer?" He asked and I look at him.
"Dude, lots of people kill others, this isn't new, only difference is, is that she kidnapped kids and broke them to join something they didn't want to join in." I say.
"So, you'd kill Clementine? Or even the other boy if you wanted to?" He asked.
"Don't pull that shit man, you're asking for an entirely different situation to happen, now stop." I say to him.
"Different? He shot her seven times, after he shot her in the head, he continued to shoot her." He says.
"She tried to kill Clementine, and Tenn and You." AJ says and I watch him.
"Everyone just stop." AJ says and I look at him and I shake my head a bit.
"Let's just get-." I tried to say but then I saw James go after AJ and Clem got in front of him.
"Don't touch him." She says.
"You can't raise him right, I can." James says and I pull him away when he shoved Clementine and I punched him. We started to fight more and I had him pinned to the ground as I slammed my fist into his face and I was pulled back.
"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH HER YOU FUCKING MORON!" I yelled to him and I glare at him as he got up.
"You lay a finger on her or any of these kids and I'll break your god damn arms." I tell him and my head began to hurt more. He glares at me.
"Is violence always the answer for you people? You teach kids to act like this and they'll be monsters, they won't be any better than those people that locked you up." He says.
"No, big fucking difference pal, I'm beating the hell out of you for touching Clem and trying to take her boy, and if you think about touching Tennessee, I will break your god damn fucking legs." I threaten him and he glares at me. He stands up and I watch him carefully.
"You have no idea what you are doing." He says.
"Neither do you fucker, now back off." I tell him and he looks at me and I glare more at him then we hear it, water splashing and walkers groaning and I look to Clem and the kids.
"Let's go." I say and we head to one of the cave openings and we get out to the opening outside and out of the cave. I looked around and didn't see James and I shake my head as I look to AJ and we began walking. I looked around a bit and the area did look a bit familiar to me but not too sure. I look to Hear some rustling in the trees and I stop as I look around and so does Clementine as we look around. I then see Louis walking out the tree line and I sigh.
"Jesus man, we're glad to see you." I say as I walk up to him and he gives me a hug and then the boys run up to him and Clem hugs him too.
"Thank god you guys are ok." He says and I nod.
"Dude your eye." He says and I nod.
"Yea I know." I mumbled as we began walking.
"Can you see?" He asked.
"No… No, I can't but right now we need to get everyone home." I say.
"You're in luck, we're near the old bridge." He says and I nod.
"I knew this place look familiar." I say and he nods as we walk and I rub my head a bit and looked to see blood.
"Ruby can patch you up." He says and I nod.
"Sophie is with her?" I asked and he nods.
"Yea… she is, we couldn't find Minnie though." I hear him say and I nod as we walk more and I look to Clementine as we walked more. I decided to ask some questions to continue our small game.
"So…. Clementine…. What is your favorite memory before the dead walked?" I asked and Louis looked to me and I looked to him then back to her.
"I remember finding a raccoon in my treehouse." She says and I chuckle.
"Raccoon hu?" I asked and she nodded.
"Funny enough a few years back when AJ wasn't even born yet, I got to see a family of raccoons." She says and I chuckle.
"Anything else?" I asked.
"I remember I would play in my treehouse for hours." She says as she talked more about her old home.
"A princess really?" Louis asked and Clem nods.
"With frills and a tiara?" I asked.
"And a sword, I was a warrior Princess." She says and we chuckle a bit.
"Alright describe your house." Louis says.
"It was a white house." She says.
"Like a white house or The White House?" Louis asked and I rolled my eyes as Clem laughed a bit. It wasn't long till we finally got to the bridge and I head up to the bridge with Louis as we walked on it to make sure it was safe. When it was Clementine let the boys walk across first and then she followed behind them. I heard some walkers and I watched Clementine carefully. I then heard singing.
"Never mind the darkness." I hear and look around, I saw that the others didn't seem to hear it so it might be in my head.
"Never mind the storm." I hear and I look to the far end of the bridge as Clementine climbed over the bed of a trailer that was attached to the truck.
"Do ya'll hear that?" I asked.
"Hear wha-."
"Never mind the blood red moon…. The night will be over soon." I hear and look to Louis who looked around with me and I see Minnie walking up to us. An Axe in her hand and I'm about to climb over the trailer before I get a look at her face in the moonlight.
"Vincent… Tennessee… I found you two." She says and I back up a it. Her face looked like someone or a walker took a bite out of it, her arm was bloody and jacket was torn a bit. I back up a bit when I see her and she looked to me sadly.
"Minnie?" I asked and Tenn stands next to me.
"You guys, she's been bitten." I hear louis says and I shake my head a bit.
"We just need Sophie." I hear and then I see her raise something up from her hand.
"GET DOWN!" I hear and I along with Tenn are dragged down by Louis and Clem as a shot rang out and I shake my head.
"Oh god." I say and I stay down and I shake my head a bit as I look to Clementine and she looked to me.
"We have to go now." Louis says and I nod as we began to work on getting the kids across but Tennessee wouldn't move.
"Tenn lets go, now." I tell him.
"But Minnie she's hurt." He says and another shot rings out and I look up to see Clem and Minnie fighting.
"LOUIS GET TENN ACROSS!" I yell and he nods and I see him try and I help Clementine by grabbing Minnie from behind and away from Clementine and I shove her away and she points her gun at Clementine.
"Don't do it Minnie." I say and I look to Louis who was trying hard to Get Tenn across.
"Don't take him away from me, You and Tenn can.. can be with me." She says and I shake my head at her.
"You're dying." I tell her.
"Yes but, it's ok, you and Tenn can join me." She says as she raised her gun at Tenn and I grab her arm and I point the gun up and a Walker grabbed Minnie and I back up as they start eating her. I feel the vomit raising up and I turn to see Tenn still not listening to Louis and I look to Minnie and Clementine and I go to Clem.
"Go over I have Tenn." I tell her and she looked to me and she nods as She gets Louis and they go over to AJ. I grab Tenn as he was about to go to Minnie but I stopped him.
"She's gone, Tenn we have to go now." I say and see some walkers getting closer to us.
"Tenn we have to go now please listen to me." I tell him and I see AJ raising his gun so I make a quick decision and I pick Tenn up and throw him over to the other side and I look as a walker tried to bite me but I backed up and looked down as I looked to the others I didn't have enough room to make a jump to get across the bridge so I went down in between the broken bridge and I fell into the rushing river as the walkers fell in after me and I was rushed away by the rough currents. I heard the others yell out my name as my head went under the waters.
