A/N: Well here it is everyone Chapter 2, and as promised this is where it gets ugly.
Disclaimer: I do not own any version of The Walking Dead.
Now on with the story, please enjoy.
"I think we should just take this place for ourselves."
? Everyone will remember that.
The group simply could not believe what they heard. They almost wanted to think Clementine wasn't being serious, but the look on her face told them she did in fact mean it.
"Clem, even if it is possible to do that, which it isn't. I don't even know how we can take this place from Carver." Rebecca told her.
"I think I figured out a way." Clementine said as she sat back down.
"If we can get that PA system working we can draw the herd and distract everyone. While they're shooting the walkers, Bonnie can get us out of here and we can take what's left in the armory, we tie-up Carver, and we help kill the herd."
When she finished, everyone was just looking at her with very perplexed expressions.
"...I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but that really does sound like a good plan." Mike eventually said.
"Yeah it actually does, dammit Clem good one. I think I can actually get behind this plan" Kenny said.
"Hold on a minute, how are we even supposed to get to the PA system anyway?" Luke asked.
Everyone stayed quiet and just turned their heads to look at Clementine.
"Wait seriously, she's the fuckin' plan?"
"Let's do it." Clementine said.
Everyone walked over to the rope where Mike boosted up Clementine so she can grab the rope. Just like last time she grabbed the rope of winch and had Mike pull her up.
"Once you get in Carver's office be sure to turn on the outside speakers, it's right on the microphone box. Once you get the PA system going, Bonnie should be able to let us out of here and we'll meet you in the stockroom." Rebecca explained.
"Got it." Clementine said as Mike started pulling her up.
"Clem, make sure you bring Alvin." Rebecca said.
As Mike pulled on the rope, Clementine felt a sudden jolt of pain in her gut, in response to it she grabbed her stomach which nearly caused her to let go of the rope.
"Clementine are you ok?" Sarita asked.
After a few deep breaths, Clementine was able to regain herself and her grip on the rope.
"Yeah... yeah I'm ok." Clementine said as she got closer to the roof.
Clementine got up to the roof and ran over to the skylight that was directly above Carver's office. She got in and climbed down on some lockers and she saw Alvin still passed out in the chair.
"Alvin... are you ok?" She asked but didn't get any type of response.
Since Alvin wasn't moving, Clementine walked over to the PA system and pressed the button for the outside speakers and pressed "Play" on the machine, but there wasn't any music playing.
"What?...Come on." She said in frustration as she opened the disc player, only to discover there weren't any discs inside.
"Where are they?"
She looked around for about a minute until she finally found one and put in and tried the plan again.
"Please work, please work."
Finally she heard an old sale's announcement on the speakers, and saw through the window, that Bonnie was running to free everyone else. While Clementine was looking out the window, she didn't even notice that Alvin actually woke up and was now looking through the desk drawer.
"Alvin, are you okay?"
Alvin didn't answer her, instead he kept digging through the drawer until he finally pulled out a very tiny gun and sat down on the chair.
"Carver talks all that though guy shit, then keeps the tiniest gun in the universe in his desk. Heh heh... there's something funny about that."
Clementine looked out the window again to see Carver and his people responding to the noise.
"Alvin we need to go."
? Alvin will remember that.
"I'm not fit to move kid, I've run oughta road. You go ahead, I need to get some payback." He paused for a minute as he got a good look at Clementine's injuries. "And by the looks of things, so do you."
Clementine knew she couldn't get Alvin to move so she walked over to the lockers to climb her way out.
"You take care my girls!" Alvin said, and Clementine looked back at him. "I... I get the feeling it's gonna be a girl. Just a hunch."
Clementine only nodded and smiled as she started to climb up to the skylight.
Before Clementine got away, the door bursted open and Hank came in and shot Alvin right in the shoulder, only for Alvin to lift up the gun and shoot Hank right in the chest, just before Alvin slipped away from the living. Leaving Clementine alone to escape.
When Clementine got to the roof she could see that the massive herd of walkers was getting close to the store.
She stopped looking when Tavia came up, so Clementine quickly ran towards the skylight leading to the stockroom without Tavia seeing her. When she got to the skylight she noticed that Carver had caught on and was now holding everyone at gunpoint.
Clementine climbed in through the skylight and quietly moved along the shelves over to where Carver was.
"You want to disrespect me, that's fine. You want to throw away the life I'm trying to build for us all, then fuckin' fine. But I will put a bullet in you and that baby before I let you take off again with my child."
"It's not your child."
Before Carver could say anything else, he was stopped by Clementine jumping on top of him where he stumbled towards Kenny, who punched him in the face, then stumbled towards Luke who took the gun out of his hands.
"Get back!" Luke ordered and Carver was forced to take a few steps back.
"Come on Luke, this ain't none of your business." Carver said.
"Clementine, why isn't Alvin with you? Where is he?" Rebecca asked.
Clementine didn't answer her, she just looked at Rebecca sadly.
"No... No!"
"Rebecca, I am so sorry." Luke said. While Luke tried to console Rebecca, Clementine quietly walked towards the back of the crowd going completely unnoticed by the others, who were too busy looking at Rebecca.
"Shoot him." Rebecca told him.
"What?... Let's uh... just stick with the plan ok? We tie him up, anyone got any rope?"
Bang
Carver winced in pain and grabbed his knee. Realizing that he was shot, everyone turned around to see Clementine holding the gun. She didn't stop there, she aimed at his other knee and pulled the trigger.
Bang
Carver fell to the ground and Clementine put the gun away. Then she picked up a small hatchet off the ground and slowly approached Carver with the same look she gave him earlier.
"Go... Grab the guns and get to the roof... I'll catch up in a minute." Nobody could believe what they were seeing; an eleven year old girl ready and willing to kill a man in cold-blood with a hatchet. It was just unbelievable.
? They will remember this.
"Come on Clem do you really want to do this?" Luke asked.
"That girl's already seen more than you can imagine."
"Shut your mouth Bill!... We're just gonna let her do this?"
"Yes." Rebecca said while staring at Carver with daggers in her eyes.
"There's not one part of that son of a bitch I don't hate, but that does not make this right."
"I already made him a promise Luke." Clementine said not even looking at Luke.
"Look at you, you fuckin' ingrates." Carver said. "You don't even know how good you got it. Lambs to the slaughter, no shepherd to guide you. Clementine knows exactly what I'm talking about."
Kenny slowly walked up beside Clementine. He could clearly see that that there was murder in her eyes, but she was just waiting for everyone to leave first.
"Clementine, you really don't have to do this. There could be some other way."
"We both know there's no other way Kenny. It's gotta be done."
Finally they saw that there really was no way to stop her, so everyone else started leaving, with only Rebecca staying to watch.
"No. Clementine, I can't let you do this." Sarita said as she moved towards Clementine, only to be stopped by Kenny.
"Sarita, there's nothing you can do. There's no stopping her now." He told her and had her leave with him.
"Atta girl she ain't afraid to look it in the eye." Carver said sounding as if he was proud of Clementine. "You go with that feeling you got right now Clementine. It's what makes you stronger than the rest of them."
Finally everyone except Rebecca had left. Leaving Clementine to do what she needed to do with Carver.
"The fuck are you looking at bitch? Don't act like you didn't love every second of it."
Clementine quickly raised up the hatchet and slammed it right into Carver's head. Carver went silent and collapsed on the floor as blood came pouring out of his head. Clementine then removed the hatchet and struck him again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
And again.
Once she removed the hatchet she stopped to catch her breath and look at what she did to Carver. His face was completely gone, his head was split in two, and there was blood everywhere including all over herself.
"Let's go." She said to Rebecca, turning away from Carver's corpse and walking away.
Rebecca only took a second to take the pistol that Carver had and then walked away.
A/N: And that concludes Chapter 2. So what do you think, has Clementine gone completely insane, or can she prove that there is still some humanity left in her? Keep reading to find out.
Until then, thank you for reading.
