A/N: Hello again. I apologize for not updating sooner, but I actually wasn't feeling well and I was hardly able to look at a computer so I hope you understand.

I noticed that there was some debate about the last chapter, some of you think that Clementine is crazy, others say she needs to have some humanity left. All I can say is most of your questions will probably be answered in this chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Walking Dead.

Anyway lets get on with it. Sit-back, relax, and enjoy the bloodshed.


Nothing.

That was the best word Clementine could use to describe the way she felt. Just, nothing.

She just murdered Carver in cold-blood, and yet she felt... nothing. Clementine didn't know if she should be proud or horrified that she did such a thing. But she didn't feel either of those thing's, all that she felt was nothing.

Even as Rebecca and her caught up with the others outside the armory she felt nothing, not even when everyone looked at her. Some of them frowned sadly when they looked at her bloody clothes.

"It's done. Let's go." Clementine said. Once they had everything they needed, the group started to make their way to the roof.

"What in the actually fuck is going on here?!" Everyone turned around to see Troy pointing his gun at them.

Jane put her pistol behind her back and slowly approached Troy.

"Troy, I thought we talked about this."

"What do you mean?"

"You help me out, then I help you out."

"I thought you meant help you get out of the pen. Not whatever this shit is." He said as Jane got closer to him.

"Yeah but now..." She quickly aimed her gun at Troy's crotch and pulled the trigger.

Bang

Troy screamed in a very high-pitched voice as he fell to the ground and grabbed the area where his crotch was.

"Let's go before the walkers tear through this place." She said as turned around and walked away, the others soon followed.

Carlos had volunteered to stay behind with Sarah to keep her safe and to make sure the walkers didn't get in.


The group finally made its way to the roof, where they saw Carver's people shooting at the herd. So everyone ran over to where the others were shooting.

Once the group was in shooting positions, Tavia finally noticed them.

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

"Shoot now, talk later! We have walkers to deal with!" Kenny shouted as he started shooting the walkers with of the the machine guns he took.

Although Tavia didn't like it, she turned back to the herd and continued shooting.

Clementine watched as everyone was firing at the walkers. She wanted to help but she didn't have a gun for firing from a roof.

"Here kid." Nick stepped up to her and held out a rifle for her.

"I don't know how to shoot a rifle." Clementine said.

"Just lock it between your elbow and hold it steady. It's about the same from there." Nick explained and Clementine took the rifle. Nick then went back to shooting at the herd.

Clementine did just what he said; she locked the end of the rifle between her elbow, and tried to keep it steady as she aimed at a walker and pulled the trigger.

Bang

Even though she hit her target, there was still too much kick from the rifle, which knocked Clementine right on the ground.

It took Clementine a few seconds to try to get up. She was feeling dizzy and couldn't really hear anything, until she saw Sarah running right up to her, which helped her get back to her senses.

"Clem! Clem, my dad needs help those things are getting in!" Sarah shouted throughout the heavy gunfire.

"Let's go then." Clementine said as she got up.

"I'm going with you. You'll probably need more help." Jane said and the three of them quickly ran downstairs to help Carlos.


Carlos kept on repeatedly shooting walkers in the head to keep them from getting closer. Which was working, until more and more walkers kept piling in.

Clementine, Jane, and Sarah made their way downstairs and saw the chaos that was quickly consuming Howe's.

"Everyone, be ready and try not to get yourselves killed. I really don't want to have to save anyone's life." Jane said just as she started shooting at walkers.

"Sarah, you should probably stay back for this. This is probably going to get ugly." Clementine told her.

Sarah agreed and went back towards the stairs as Clementine, Carlos, and Jane did their best to keep the walkers from getting in.

Clementine used her pistol to shoot at many of the walkers, as Jane and Carlos tried to keep more from coming in by killing the ones closest to the door. But no matter how many Clementine killed, they just kept coming. There were so many of them that she didn't even notice that there was one walker coming right beside her.

Unfortunately, Clementine didn't react quickly enough. The walker pinned her to the ground, knocking the gun out of her hand, and it slid far out of her reach. Clementine tried to push the walker off of herself, but she was still hurt from the beating she got from Carver and the walker was almost twice her size.

It almost seemed hopeless when the walker got its mouth closer to Clementine's throat and...

Bang

The walker was shot right in the head and collapsed right on top of Clementine, who was able to get up with a bit of a struggle. Once she got out from under the walker, Clementine turned around to see that Sarah was the one holding her gun with both hands and was uncontrollably shaking.

"I... I had to do it. I had to... it was gonna kill you." Sarah stuttered as she stared at the walker she killed.

"You... saved my life Sarah."

? Sarah will remember that.

Exhaustion finally seemed to catch up with Clementine, as she found that she didn't have the strength to keep going. So she just fell unconscious right there even with more walkers coming.

"Clem? Clementine, are you okay?" Sarah asked sounding very concerned for her friend.

More and more walkers kept piling into Howe's it was starting to look like the herd was going overwhelm them. That is until everyone else ran downstairs and started shooting at the herd of walkers.


Clementine slowly opened her eyes, it took her a few seconds to focus on her surroundings, but she soon realized that she was in another room.

"You're awake. I was starting to get worried." Clementine quickly turned her head to see Sarah sitting in a chair across the room. When she saw Sarah, Clementine finally realized that they were in the office of the building and she was laying on the mattress from the pen. She also noticed that the bodies from earlier were now gone.

"Sarah, what happened? Where's everyone else?" She asked as she sat-up in the bed.

"You passed out after I shot that walker. After that everybody came downstairs and stopped them from coming. Luke and Kenny brought that bed up here so you could rest and my dad told me to keep an eye on you."

"So... we're safe now?"

"Yeah, I think so. Luke and the others are downstairs talking to Tavia about what happened."

"Well, I guess we should see what's going on then." With that said, Clementine stood up and started walking towards the door with Sarah following her.

"Clem, my dad told me to give this back once you woke up." Sarah said holding out the gun she used earlier, which Clementine took back.

"Thanks, and thank you for saving me earlier."

"If you didn't show me how to use it before I don't think I would've been able to do anything. But my dad still thinks its too dangerous for me."

"Well, maybe now he'll actually let you practice." Clementine said optimistically.

Sarah and Clementine found the others in the stockroom where they were having anything except a friendly conversation with Tavia and the rest of Carver's people. There was a lot of yelling, screaming, and even threats were being tossed around.

"I don't care what you people think! If it weren't for us, all of you would have been a meal for that herd! So I say you can be grateful for that and get the hell out of here!" Kenny shouted.

"Hey we were here first old man! Just because you killed some lurkers doesn't mean you have the right to kick us out!" Vince argued.

"Look maybe we can all come to some sort of agreement." Luke said trying to sound neutral.

"I ain't agreeing to anything until you tell me how the fuck this happened!" Tavia said looking over to Carver's corpse.

"I think the words you should be looking for are 'thank you'. Don't pretend that crazy bastard wasn't dangerous. I say he got what was coming to him." Kenny said.

"THAT'S BULLSHIT! Now I want to know who did this! I want whoever did this to fess up now!"

Bang

Everyone turned around to see Clementine holding her gun, aiming it in the air where she shot at the ceiling to get everyone's attention.

"It was me." Clementine said in a very cold voice.

Tavia and the others simply could not believe what they heard.

"...W-What?" Tavia asked.

"I did it. I killed Carver. He killed Reggie, he killed Alvin, he almost killed me. So I killed him."

"... Whoa, that's messed up man." Wyatt said quietly.

"Your crazy kid. I mean it. Bill took care of us, he fed us, he was building a place where all of us could live in safety." Tavia said.

"He was bully who only tricked others to do whatever he wanted and tortured anybody who said no to him." Clementine told her.

"...So what are you going to do with us then? Tavia asked, not bothering to continue the other argument. "Are you going to kill us too? Or are you going throw us in the pen?"

Clementine didn't immediately respond, instead she put her gun away.

"...I'm not going to do anything. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to leave, then I won't stop you."

? Everyone will remember this.

"Clem, are you sure about this?" Kenny asked.

"They can't all be bad Kenny. Sending them away would be just the same as killing them."

"It doesn't matter what it is, I'm not staying here with you people." Tavia told her.

"What?! What the hell are you thinking Tavia?" Vince asked.

"I'm thinking I would rather take my chances out there than in here. You can't change my mind so don't even bother arguing with me."

"...Well if that's really how you feel Tavia, I guess we can give you some food and other supplies." Luke said.

"Yeah let's do that." Kenny said, then looked at the rest of Carver's people. "How 'bout the rest of you, are you leaving too?"

Nobody spoke up so Kenny and the others assumed that they wanted to stay.


Outside of Howe's, Luke was seeing Tavia off, giving her some supplies. He gave her a backpack with enough food to last a week, some water, a knife, and a gun.

"Are really sure about this Tavia? You don't have to do this."

"I'm more than certain Luke, that kid murdered Bill. I know he was an asshole, but I'm afraid to see what she'll do next."

"He was a bad man Tavia. But that doesn't mean bad people are taking everything."

"That girl is different Luke. Bill told me that he could tell there was something different about her than everyone else. I didn't see it at first, but I do now. You may not realize it, but one day you'll see what she's really capable of."

With that said Tavia took off walking away from Howe's. Not once did she look back or wish she had stayed as she walked off into the woods.


A/N: Well it doesn't seem like Clementine is becoming a bad person, but Tavia certainly thinks differently. I don't know even I can't fully tell. Maybe in the next chapter it will become more clear. Thank you for reading.
