HELLO! How are you guys doing? Good? Not so good? Slowly becoming a god? We will see! The chapter is mostly Character relationships and Some of Carvers stupid rules. LET US READ!

Leafs nation- Or will it... (Adds suspense) Even I don't know! We shall continue forward and see!

PeanutFangirl: Will Luke get back at Clem? The question is Will Luke NOT get back at clem. Either way the answer is: only time will tell.

"You summoned?" I asked when I found Luke. He nodded and led me away so he could speak with me privately. When he stopped her turned around and looked at me. His eyes were apologetic and he frowned, "It something wrong?"

"Clementine," He took one of my hands, "I found the bag."

My eyes widened, "Luke no!"

"I'm sorry, but you know how Bill feels about this stuff," He said as he took my back pack out of the spot he hid it.

Carver doesn't allow people too have things that remind them of the past, or the fallen. Carver said that, "It makes us dependent upon them," Everyone had to give up things like photos, charms, jewelry, anything that could 'hold you back'. Everyone had to give up something. Carver felt the same way about cigarettes. Pete, Tavia, and Bonnie all had to quit in order to stay. He said that smoking showed a sign of dependence, and that when we become dependent on something it becomes a weakness.

"Please don't Luke!" I begged. Inside the bag was what little I had from the past. A picture of Lee, a drawing of Kenny, A picture of my parents, and a stuffed bear that Duck found and gave me.

"Look, Clem, I hate to do this, but..." He trailed off, "Damn it do you know what Bill would do if he found out about this?!"

"Luke..."

"We are already risking enough by lying about your hat," He said. Carver had no idea why I kept my hat close at all times. He figured it was to keep my hair clean and hidden so nothing could latch onto me. In reality, my dad had given it to me because I was upset about not going to Savanah with them. He said that I could barrow it, not have it.

"Luke," I looked him in the eyes, "Just give it to me and I promise that you will never see them again!" This hasn't been the first time someone found the bag. Just a couple of weeks ago, Helena found it under my bed. when she confronted me about it I begged her not to say anything. I haven't been able to find good hiding spots since. Luke closed his eyes and shook his head. He let out a sigh of defeat.

"Damn it Clem!" He swore, "You're lucky I have a soft spot for you!"

It's true. Next to Nick, Luke is the one who I'm around all the time. Luke always made sure I stayed out of trouble and he would check up on me daily. The day we really started to become close, was the day I saved his life from a walker. The walker was sneaking up behind him and latched onto him. He let out a small yelp of surprise and before anyone else had time to react I quickly snatched Bonnies gun from it's holster (Since they wouldn't let me have one of my own) and shot the walker in the head. When it fell limp and Luke pushed it off him, he looked and saw that I was the one with the gun. his eyes widened in surprise. Something changed that day. I think he stopped viewing me as a little kid after that. He talked to me as if I were a grown up and he asks me about my opinions on the things we do. He started talking to me the same way he talked to Nick.

"Thank you!" I hugged him, "You have no idea what this means to me!"

"Clem," He looked at me seriously, " I never want to see this again. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" I said quickly, "I understand!"

"Good," He said and handed me the bag back. After it was in my grasp I hugged in tightly to me chest and I ran as fast as my legs would let me. I ran without destination, but I found myself back out in the yard. I sighed and once again placed the bag under my bed. This wasn't a good spot, if I don't find one soon I'll lose these things. I don't know what Carver does to personal items, but I remember when he found the picture Sarah had of her mom. He called Sarah and Carlos into his office and after they left Sarah didn't talk for a week. Carlos stuck to her like glue and according to him Carver made her make a hard decision. That's all I know about it anyway.

Sarah is such a sweet girl. She and I have been close for awhile now, even though Carlos disapproves. We tell each other everything and she made me pinkie promise to be her best friend. When we interlocked our fingers she told me that pinkie swear was forever and that I had to keep it. And we really have become best friends. It's different from when I was friends with Duck. Sarah and I did all these things like talk about the past and the people that use to be close to us. However, Duck and I would talk about feelings, only when one of us were crying. Other times he and I would play hide and seek, along with some other things.

I sighed. Remembering Duck and everyone else still made me sad enough to want to cry. I'm doing better. Everyone still doesn't know much about my past. Luke and Nick would ask about it every now and then. Luke listened about it. I once told him about what happened in the meat locker, at the dairy. He told me about what he would have done in that position and about what he thinks would have happened if things were different. Nick let me rant. He would let me express my frustrations and he wouldn't scold me about it. He let me yell when I told him about how mad I was when I told him that I thought it was unfair that walkers existed.

Thinking about Lee still hurt. I've had dreams where I would be kneeling over his body and my hands would be covered in his blood while voices of my parents and the stranger haunted me. As usual, I would wake up and crawl into bed with Nick after it happened. He asked about the dreams once and I just told him that I was thinking about an old friend. Everyone in the group knew very little about Lee. I avoid talking about him at all cost. The one who knew the most about him is actually Rebecca.

Rebecca and I are quite close as well. After I thought about how I cared about Lee, I figured out I loved him like the same way I loved my dad. One day, I went up to Rebecca and asked her what being a family meant. I actually asked Sarah first, but she didn't know the answer, Rebecca told me that a family was a group of people who would do anything for you. That they were people you loved with all your heart. I asked her if that meant you were related. She simply smiled and looked around at our group. she shook her head no and since then we have talked a lot.

"Clem!" Tavia called me again, "Bonnie needs you, are you up to it?"

I moved in front of the woman, "What does Bonnie need?"

"She wants you to meet her in the food supply area and help her count the rations for the day."

"I can do that," I nodded. Once again, I went off on a little job to find both Bonnie and Becca already at work. Bonnie looked over at me and smiled.

"Hey Clem," She greeted and winked, "You gonna help us?"

"I was told to," I said while taking a spot near the small table.
