Before Clementine had the chance to question Bonnie about Carver, the wind turbine outside started spinning like crazy. It began making a loud whistling noise, which distracted Kenny and Walter. Taking the chance, Bonnie took off and ran as fast as she could into the woods. Clementine cursed to herself as she aimed after her, but didn't get a clear shot.
"Shit! She got away!" Clementine told Kenny and Walter.
"We'll worry about her later. Right now we gotta shut that turbine off. Damn thing's a dinner bell." Kenny said as he ran towards the turbine.
Luke, Nick, Pete, Carlos, Sarita and Sarah came outside.
"What's goin on?!" Luke asked as they ran up to the other three.
"Damn turbine is spinnin' outta control! We gotta stop it!" Kenny told him.
"Nick, help me. Carry the guns." Carlos said before heading off to get the weapons, Nick following him.
They came back after a few minutes, handing Pete and Luke each a gun.
Everybody ran as fast as they could towards the turbine. There was a boom in the distance and then all the lights slowly went out one after another.
"What the fuck was that?!" Nick shouted.
"Damn. Transformer musta gone. Gotta check it. I could use a hand." Kenny said, looking at Luke.
"Ah'll go with ya." Luke said, slinging his rifle over his shoulder and unsheathing his machete.
"I'm coming too!" Sarita said, wanting to help Kenny.
"No! It's too dangerous!" Kenny shouted before looking at the rest of the group. "Rest of ya, get this thing shut down!" He said before he and Luke ran off to go check on the transformer.
Sarita approached the turbine and opened it. Carlos stared at the interior along with her.
"Does anyone know how to do this?" He asked, receiving no response. "Great." He sighed.
"Are you fucking serious?" Clementine mumbled as she pushed past them and reached inside the interior, grabbed the shut off key and turned off the turbine.
"That wasn't that hard!" Clementine said sarcastically with an annoyed huff as the turbine powered down.
Carlos rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. Nick stared off into the forest.
"Somethin' ain't right." He mumbled.
Suddenly a whole lot of moans and groans surrounded the lodge. Walkers had arrived, and there was no shortage of them.
"We don't have much ammunition." Carlos said with worry.
"We gotta get back to the lodge." Nick said.
Suddenly, Carlos was grabbed by a walker from behind. Just as it was about to bite into his neck, it was shot in the head. Carlos threw the walker off of him and turned to see Sarah holding a smoking pistol.
"Where did you get that?!" He asked her angrily and worriedly.
"I got it back at the cabin. Clementine taught me how to use it!" She replied before shooting another walker in the head.
Carlos glared at Clementine heatedly.
"How dare you!" He shouted.
"How dare I what? Teach your daughter how to defend herself so she doesn't get killed one day?" Clementine said coldly.
"This isn't the time for this! We have to deal with these lurkers!" Pete shouted before shooting two walkers in the head.
Clementine turned away from Carlos and everybody began shooting as many walkers as they could. Clementine shot seventeen of them before she was out of bullets. "Great." She sighed before putting away her gun and pulling out Leeya.
She tossed it in her right hand before slicing a walker's head off. She kept going through walkers until she made it back to the lodge. "Sarah! Come on, get inside!" She called as she held the door open for the other girl.
Sarah came running and went inside. Carlos nodded at Clementine gratefully before the eleven year old went inside and shut the door after her.
"Clementine! Are you okay?" Rebecca called as the eleven year old ran inside.
Before Clementine could respond, there were a bunch of automatic gunshots that rang from the forest. Alvin, Rebecca, and Clementine looked out the window to see a few people shooting automatic guns at walkers.
Once again, a walker almost got the jump on Carlos, he saw it though. But before he could shoot it, someone shot it from behind.
They looked to where the shot came from to see Carver, Bonnie, and two other men were walking towards them.
"Howdy folks." Carver greeted to them all.
He walked up to Carlos. "Where's Rebecca?" He asked simply.
Rebecca's eyes widened in horror. "Carver!" She said in fear.
Carlos spit in Carver's face, which he wiped off with an annoyed look.
"It's nice to see you, too." He said before punching Carlos in the face.
"Dad!" Sarah shouted before running outside.
"Sarah!" Rebecca called after her.
Sarah pushed the door open and ran to her father. She hugged him tightly before moving behind him.
Carver looked at the lodge Sarah came running out of. "Inside." He said simply as he pointed at the building.
One of the two men that was with Carver and Bonnie gestured with his gun for them to move. Walter noticed Bonnie and his eyes widened.
"Keep movin." Bonnie said.
Clementine, Alvin and Rebecca hid as best as they could when everyone came inside. Clementine held Leeya in ready position.
Clementine looked at Alvin who was hiding on the staircase. Alvin looked through the staircase bars and held his hand up, silently telling Clementine to wait.
"You believe this fuckin place, Bonnie?" One of the guys asked her. Clementine peeked from the couch she was hiding behind and spotted the guy. She quickly ducked back behind the couch.
"Power and everything." He said in awe. "Lotta windows, though." He observed. "It's fucking huge. Bill's gonna hate it."
"Ah The rest of them could be anywhere." He said with an annoyed tone.
Clementine snuck to the stairs when the guy turned around. "Man how the fuck are we supposed to find them and cover these guys too?" The guy said angrily.
"Johnny, cover that window." Bonnie told him, getting him to move over towards the window she pointed at.
The others were lined up by Carver and his crew as Clementine reached where Alvin and Rebecca were hiding. All of their friends were all knelt in a line, the only ones not inside were Luke and Kenny.
Clementine peered over the wall of the second floor and saw that everybody had their arms tied behind their backs.
Carver looked around for a second before looking at Carlos. He walked up to him and grabbed him roughly until he was in view of everybody. He punched Carlos in the gut, making him collapse to the ground in pain.
"Listen, I'm only going to ask this once. Where's Rebecca?" Carver demanded angrily as he walked behind the knelt form of Carlos.
Carlos looked at Sarah. "Sarah, look at me. It's gonna be okay." He told her as she began breathing heavily.
Carver grabbed Carlos's hand and snapped his finger backwards, causing the Hispanic man to scream in pain.
"Rebecca, our baby deserves to be raised in a place of safety!" Carver called out. "I know you're out there. And Alvin. And Luke. And that...beautiful girl." Carver said as he threw Carlos's hand onto the ground.
Clementine felt shivers crawl all over her body when she heard Carver say that. "Oh...fuck." She groaned.
"This is real simple. You want this over quick, you play nice and show your faces." Carver called out.
Sarah looked like she wanted to cry more, but was trying her best to stay quiet.
"He'll kill him." Alvin whispered angrily.
"No Alvin." Rebecca whispered with a whine.
"We gotta go down there." Alvin whispered seriously.
"I am not going anywhere near that fucking sicko." Clementine whispered angrily.
"We don't have a choice, Clem!" Alvin told her sadly.
"No, there is something you can do, Clem. You can go find Luke and Kenny." Rebecca whispered to Clementine.
Clementine nodded before looking for a way out. She noticed the windows right next to the three of them.
"I can fit through these." Clementine whispered.
"You head him, you two! He knows your here." Alvin whispered back.
"I'm going to go find Luke and Kenny."
"I already killed that Asian friend of yours!" Carver shouted.
Walter's eyes widened. "No...Matty." He said as tears stung his eyes.
Carver broke another one of Carlos's fingers.
"AAAAGH! Fuck you! Shoot him! Somebody just shoot hi-" Carlos's shouting was cut off as Carver put a knife to his throat.
"I'm going to go find them. You two stay here." Clementine said before opening the window and silently crawling outside.
Clementine walked outside on the porch. She looked through the window to see Carver punch Carlos in the face. She cringed at how hard the punch was before continuing to crouch walk around the porch. When she rounded the corner, she saw Kenny using some sort of...thing as cover.
"Clem!" Kenny said as he noticed the eleven year old.
Clementine slowly crawled her way towards Kenny and got behind cover with him.
"Got any .45 rounds?" She asked him as she took the magazine out of her pistol. "I'm out." She told him.
Kenny gave her an apologetic glance. "Sorry darlin', I'm all out of that." He told her.
Clementine scoffed. "Fucking great." She groaned.
Kenny looked inside the lodge and saw that Alvin and Rebecca had given themselves up.
Clementine sighed with a little relief. "At least he'll stop torturing Carlos."
"Looks like they got everyone." Kenny said before looking at Clementine. "Who are these guys, Clem? Can we take em?" He asked her.
"If I had bullets too, maybe. But I'm not sure. Also, the ringleader is somebody named Carver. I think he may be a...a...what's that word for grown ups that like kids?"
"You mean he's a fuckin Pedo?!" Kenny said in anger.
"I don't know exactly, but I got bad feeling about him." Clementine informed him.
"I've got a pretty clear shot on the one guy. Just a little more to the left. That's right, you son of a bitch." Kenny said as he lined up Johnny's head with his rifle's sights.
He pulled the trigger and the bullet flew through the glass and right into Johnny's face, killing him instantly. "Got him!" Kenny said with a celebratory tone.
Carver looked at Johnny's dead body in shock before his face grew into an expression of anger. He turned towards Walter and Omid and pushed them both into Clementine and Kenny's line of sight. He pulled out his gun and shot them both in the back of the head. Their bodies fell to the ground with thuds.
"NOOOO!" They heard Sarita scream.
Clementine's eyes narrowed as she ground her teeth in anger. Her grip on Leeya grew so intense that her hand started bleeding. "I'll kill him." Clementine said, angrier than she had been in a while.
Carver got into cover quickly. "That's two of your boys for one of ours! Now I didn't wanna do this, but you ain't leavin' me much choice. Now here's what's going to happen. I'm gonna march another one of your friends up here and I'm gonna put a bullet in the back of their head!" He told them before walking towards the group and grabbing Alvin.
"Hi Alvin." Carver greeted.
"No, Bill! Please!" Rebecca begged.
Clementine breathed in and out deeply to calm herself and grabbed Kenny's gun. "He's going to kill everyone in there if we don't give up, Kenny. Sarita included." Clementine told him, shutting down any rebuke the bearded man had.
He sighed as she dropped the gun.
"We're coming out." He announced.
They walked towards the door when Bonnie kicked it open. "Let's. Go." She said.
As Clementine walked past her, she kicked her in the shin, almost breaking it.
"I should have shot you, bitch." She said bitterly.
"Aaagh! Fuck! My leg!" She shouted as she dropped her gun and clutched her leg.
Carver licked his lips as he surveyed the spectacle. Clementine walked past the woman and up to Carver. Everyone was staring at her in shock at what she just did. Carver cupped Clementine's cheek and leaned into her ear.
"I like feisty little girls like you." He whispered into her ear.
Clementine did her best not to stab him with Leeya. She knew that would only end badly. "All right everyone round em up!" Carver shouted before grabbing Clementine's arm.
"You'll be riding with me." He said with a warm smile that made Clementine want to gag.
Lee and Molly were walking in a forest. "I'm starting to get restless again. I really hope we find her soon." Lee said as they walked through a road in the middle of a forest.
Molly nodded in agreement with her lover. "I know, I can't wait to get to know her." Molly said eagerly.
Lee chuckled at that. "I bet. I wonder if how much she's grown." Lee said wistfully
Before Molly could give her lover a response, they heard a vehicle approaching them. They looked at each other and ducked behind bushes.
A truck came to a stop on the road in front of them followed by a car. "Did they see us?" Molly asked Lee.
Lee shook his head. "We hid before they came up on the road. I doubt it." He told her.
The driver side window of the car rolled down and a man neither of them recognized poked his head out.
"Troy! What the fuck's the problem?" He shouted up to the truck.
The truck's driver door opened and a man wearing a camo outfit stepped out. He was holding some serious firepower which got Lee and Molly on edge. Lee pulled out his magnum just in case they spotted him and Molly. Molly held Hilda at the ready.
"Bill, The girl needs ta pee and I ain't havin' her piss in the truck!" Troy said as he opened the back and aimed the gun inside. "Come on, get the hell out." He barked.
Lee was able to inside the truck a little bit and saw that it was full of bound people. "Shit." He whispered.
A girl in glasses hopped out of the truck and Troy cut off her bindings. "I...I need somebody to watch my back..." She said nervously.
"Are ya fucking kidding me?!"
The man from before, Bill, stuck his head out the window again. "What's the problem now?" Bill asked Troy.
"The little bitch wants somebody to go with her!" Troy told Bill.
Bill looked like he was going to say something, but ducked back into the car as the person with him got his attention.
"Can you see who else is in the car?" Molly whispered to Lee.
Lee shook his head. "No, the glare from the window is too strong." Lee whispered back.
Bill stuck his head back out of the window. "She said she'll go with her!"
Troy shrugged. "Fine by me!" He said back.
The passenger side door opened and someone stepped out. Lee's eyes widened when the person fully came out. Tears came to his eyes as he saw that trademark hat of hers, it was his Sweet Pea. She was alive.
Lee was going to run out as soon as he saw Clementine, but Molly held him back.
"Lee, that guy has an assault rifle and clearly has a screw loose." Molly whispered. "If we swing up now, he won't hesitate to shoot us dead. What good will that do for Clementine, she finds out you survived only for you to die anyways." Molly told Lee.
Lee knew she was right, but he desperately wanted to run up to Clementine. He held back though, knowing what Molly said was completely correct.
"We'll follow them to wherever there base is and get her then." Molly told him.
Lee nodded in agreement. "Yeah...Alright." He whispered softly.
They watched as Clementine walked off with the other girl then came back for a few minutes. Once they were back, Clementine walked the other girl to the truck and was talking to her. They couldn't make out what she and the other girl were saying.
After a few moments, Troy aimed his gun at Sarah and told her to get a move on. He tied her back up and threw her into the truck.
They heard the voice of a man shouting at Troy, demanding to be told what Carver was doing to Clementine. Troy responded by shutting the door of the Truck and got back into the driver's seat.
Clementine sighed before walking back to the car that Bill/Carver was driving. Carver cupped Clementine's cheek and seemed to sweet talk her. Clementine shivered and pulled away. She got into the car before Carver did the same.
They all drove off soon after that. Lee couldn't help himself anymore and hugged Molly and began crying.
"She's alive! She's alive and well! Oh my god!" Lee cried in relief.
Molly hugged him and rubbed his back soothingly. Lee let out all of the worry and frustration that had build up the past over two and a half years. Molly rubbed him soothingly. "I know, sweetie. I know." Molly whispered into his ear.
"We can't stay here, we have to move and follow them if we're gonna reunite with you 'Sweet Pea'." Molly said after a few moments.
Lee nodded as he stood up and began walking in the direction the vehicles drove down. Molly walking with him.
Lee still couldn't believe that they had finally found her. He shook his head before focusing on catching up with them.
"We may have finally found her, but we haven't reunited with her quite yet. Let's keep moving." Lee said, Molly nodding in agreement.
The two of them walked down the road towards where the vehicles went.
"We're coming, Clementine." Lee said.
Author's Note: Bloop! Carver is a pedophile in this. Mostly because I want Lee or Clementine to kill him instead of Kenny. Also, since I'm going off of my playthrough of the walking dead, I decided that Lee's presence would help Kenny and wisen him up. In my playthrough, Lee and Kenny were best friends, so Lee being there will really help Kenny I guess. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to make Janentine work. That is one thing I am going to do for sure, which is why I put the Clementine/Jane tag as soon as I started writing this.
