Two Days Later

Clem shifted around in her sleeping bag, repeatedly rubbing her eyes as she attempted to fall asleep. "Still awake too, huh?" Glenn said groggily.

"Mhm…" Clementine mumbled. "I can't sleep…"

"Neither…" Glenn sighed, sitting up in his and Clem's tent. Clementine joined him sitting up almost simultaneously

"Can we turn the light on?" Clementine asked nervously.

"Oh, sure." Glenn said, clicking a large flash light placed next to their heads. "You…uh…afraid of the dark?"

"A little." Clementine said.

"I used to be. Couldn't stand it." Glenn said.

"It's creepy." Clementine shivered.

"Is that why you can't get to sleep? Because we could leave the light on, y'know, if you want…" Glenn said considerately.

"I'm just missing my mommy and daddy...Lee too. He was so nice." Clementine sighed.

"He was a great dude, smart too…" Glenn said. "As for your parents…"

"What?" Clementine asked nervously.

"Look, I just…on the radio…they said Savannah was a stage nine catastrophe…and…uh so was Atlanta and we both know how that turned out…" Glenn winced, nervously.

"But…no…they can't be…I…I…" Clementine sniffed.

"Oh crap, no don't cry…" Glenn said awkwardly. "I didn't mean to…"

"…You…I…what if you're right…?" Clementine cried.

"I don't know. There might be a chance they're alive but…fuck… it's been days and the military haven't done anything…" Glenn sighed. "I've been trying to tell you this for a while…"

Clementine wiped her eyes, sobbing quietly as she grabbed her hat from next to her, clutching it in her arms close to her chest.

"Clementine I…" Glenn sighed, giving up as he lay back down.

Clementine dropped down in her sleeping bag, facing away from Glenn as she sniffled and gasped until falling asleep.

Clementine slowly opened her eyes, hearing distant talking and laughing as the sun shined through the tent creating a warm blue light. Clem rolled around to see Glenn gone. She placed her hat on her head and quickly kicked her way out of her sleeping bag. Clementine unzipped the tent and rushed out looking around at everyone walking through the camp, or doing chores.

Clem nervously searched around, looking for Glenn in the busy swarm of survivors, until she bumped into someone. Clementine looked up to see a short woman with small grey hair smiling at her. "Oh…uh…sorry." Clementine said nervously.

"Aw, it's okay." The woman said, crouching down to Clementine's height. "You must be Clementine. Don't believe I've met you yet. I'm Carol."

"Uhm...uh…yeah, yeah that's me." Clementine said, anxiously, looking around the camp.

"Are you okay? You look a little lost." Carol giggled. "Not that I'm much better. Can't make my way around a maze in the newspaper, let alone a camp in a quarry."

"I can't find my friend Glenn. Have you seen him?" Clementine asked.

"Oh yeah, he's with Shane. Come on I'll take you to him." Carol said comfortingly, holding her hand out for Clementine.

Clem took Carol's hand gladly and followed her closely through the groups of people, until stopping in front of a large chubby man, with a cigarette fixed in his mouth. "Carol, come with me." He grunted.

"Oh, Ed can I just take Clementine to find her friend?" Carol asked shyly and nervously.

"No. Let's get goin'." He said, puffing the smoke from his cigarette.

"That's not very nice…" Clementine said.

"Uhm, sweetie-

"The hell did you just say? Ever heard of respectin' your elders?" Ed growled.

"But you didn't say please." Clementine said.

"Listen, you little-

"There a problem here, Ed?" Shane asked, from behind Ed.

Ed looked around and huffed. "No. Come on Carol." Ed said.

Carol looked down to Clementine then over to Ed, following him immediately as the two walked off privately.

"Hey, kiddo. Look, stay away from that man, okay?" Shane said, kneeling down in front of Clem.

"Oh…okay." Clementine said. "Why?"

"Just don't talk to him. He ain't nice. You must be looking for Glenn, huh? Come on, he's worried about ya." Shane said, leading Clementine over to a large RV near the trail up to the camp. "Just in here."

Clementine walked through into the RV to see Glenn looking over a desk next to a man with a thick grey beard and a fisherman's hat on. "Glenn!" Clementine exclaimed running over to Glenn.

Glenn crouched down in front of Clementine. "Hey!" Glenn said. "How are you feeling? Just…about yesterday, I…just…y'know thought you'd be…"

"We'll give you two some privacy." The man with the hat said.

Glenn watched as Shane and the man left the RV, shutting the door behind them. "So…" Glenn said.

"You scared me." Clementine sighed.

"Sorry, I wanted to be there when you woke up. You were so upset last night." Glenn said. "Just know that…y'know...uh…well…you…"

"What's wrong?" Clementine asked.

"I just…if you need someone to talk to I'm here." Glenn said.

"I know." Clementine smiled. "Glenn…"

"Yeah?" Glenn asked.

"Do you really think my mom and dad are…?" Clementine said sadly.

"Look, I don't know…I just…" Glenn sighed. Clementine looked down to her feet as her eyes began to tear up. "Look Clem…I can't promise you that we'll find them. But I'll promise I won't…I promise I won't leave you."

Clementine looked up at Glenn cracking a smile. "Promise you promise?" Clementine asked.

"Yeah, I promise." Glenn laughed. "Look, I need to go talk to Dale."

"Okay." Clementine said.

"Here…" Glenn said opening the RV door. "Shane, who was it you said to send Clem over to?"

"Oh, you'll want to go to Lori and Carol." Shane explained. "Over there."

Shane pointed over to a pretty woman with brown hair sitting in front of a table with three kids next to her writing on pieces of paper.

"Don't be too long, okay?" Clementine said to Glenn before walking over to the woman.

"You know what you're doing with her?" Shane asked, as he leaned back on the side of the RV.

"Yeah, of course…no, I have no idea…" Glenn sighed.

"Where are her parents?" Shane asked.

"…Savannah." Glenn said.

"Does she know there's a high chance of them…not being there, if you know what I mean?" Dale said.

"Dale, c'mon…" Shane groaned.

"I'm just saying it how it is, Shane." Dale said calmly.

"Yeah, she knows…I'm worried about her. I know it's weird. But it's been a few days now and she's kept to herself. Hardly knows anyone here." Glenn sighed.

"She'll come around, I know it." Dale said. "Now, we best get back to this plan."
