"Man, oh man that's good." Shane said as he took another bite out of the fish Andrea and Amy had caught earlier that day.
Clementine happily nibbled on the cooked fish, as she listened to the quiet murmurs of the group, chattering whilst they enjoyed their meal. "Told you you'd like it." Carl said.
"It's really good." Clem said.
"Hey, hey. I gotta ask you man, it's been driving me crazy." Morales said.
"What?" Dale asked with a small chuckle.
"That watch. I see you, every day. Same time, winding that thing like a village priest saying mass." Morales said.
"I've been wandering that myself." Jaqui said.
"I'm still missing the point." Dale said.
"Well unless I've misread the signs the world seems to have come to an end. Or at least hit a speed bump for a good long while." Jaqui said.
"And there's you, everyday spinning that stupid watch." Morales laughed.
"I think I know why." Clementine said.
"Oh yeah?" Dale asked with a smile.
"Yeah…you want to tell the time." Clementine giggled.
"You're spending too much time with Glenn." Dale laughed.
"So why do you do it?" Clem asked.
"Well, time. It's important to keep track of it. The days at least." Dale said. "Don't you think Andrea? Back me up here."
Andrea smiled awkwardly before taking a sip of beer.
"He's right. It's good to tell the time." Clementine said.
"Ah, I got the cute kid on my side. I think I win." Dale laughed. "Nah, I like what father said to son when he gave him a watch. It'd been handed down through generations. I give you a mausoleum, of all hope and desire. Which will fit your needs no better than it did mine. Or my fathers before me. I give it to you, not that you may remember time but that you may forget it. Now and then, and not spend all your time trying to conquer it."
The group went silent, smiling and nodding.
"You are so weird." Amy said.
The whole group laughed.
"Hey, it's not me it's Faulkner, William Faulkner." Dale said.
"What's a mausoleum?" Clementine asked, saying the big word slowly and gradually.
"Well it's a large house that you'd find next to a graveyard." Dale said.
"Oh…but why…?" Clementine said before looking next to her. Amy stood up from her chair by the campfire.
"Where are you going?" Andrea asked.
"I have to pee…jeez, try to be discreet around here." Amy mumbled.
The whole group giggled and laughed.
Clem stood up to join her, needing to use the bathroom herself. "Hey, stay close to Amy, alright?" Dale said.
"Not too close!" Andrea laughed.
Clem quickly caught up to Amy who smiled and pet her shoulder. "How ya doing, kiddo? Good?" Amy asked.
"M-hm. I miss Glenn…when do you think he'll be back?" Clementine asked.
"Soon, kiddo. I promise." Amy said. The two walked inside the RV where the bathroom was. "Just…uhm…stay here."
Clementine took a seat onto one of the benches. After a few seconds Amy came out of the bathroom rolling her eyes. "What's wrong?" Clem asked.
"Out of toilet paper." Amy said. "One sec, I'll go tell the group, stay here."
Amy walked out of the RV and as she began to speak she was cut off by a scream, her own scream. Clementine ran outside to see a walker gnawing on her arm. Clementine gasped tearfully and ran back over to Shane, Dale, Lori and the rest. Andrea turned around slowly and screamed as soon as she saw Amy and the walker.
Everyone who could use a gun immediately shot up from their chairs and grabbed their weapons. Clementine cowered near the campfire, wishing Glenn were there with her. Shaking and trembling, covering her ears from the gunshots. "Clementine! Come on!" Carl yelled.
Clem looked up to see Carol, holding Sofia in her arms, Lori with Carl hugging up to her side and Shane holding his shotgun as he pulled the trigger on any walker than came too close.
Clementine ran over to them as Shane began to lead them through the army of walkers attacking the camp. "Get to the RV! Go!" Shane commanded to the remaining survivors of the camp.
Clementine looked around, everything was happening quickly, the screams and gunshots drowned out anything else, after what seemed like an eternity she realised she wasn't with Carl and Lori, Shane or Carol anymore. In the panic she was left behind in the crowds.
Clementine turned around and with immediate wide and panicked eyes, she saw a growling walker stumble closer and closer to her. Clementine screamed and froze in place. "No!" A voice yelled from next to her. Clementine looked around to see Glenn repeatedly clicking the trigger on the rifle he was holding. Nothing happened. Glenn grunted as he through the rifle to his side and ran over to the walker, pushing it over with his shoulder before taking Clementine's hand and sprinting over to the Winnebago RV Dale had.
"Dad!" Carl cried.
"Carl!" Rick yelled before Carl ran into his arms.
Clementine looked around through her teary eyes, the screaming and gunshots had finally died down and the group slowly dropped their guns. Clementine looked up to Glenn who was holding her hand in a tight grip. He looked down at her and immediately pulled her into a hug. "God, are you okay? No scratches or bites, right?" Glenn asked.
"Nu-uh…" Clementine sniffled.
"Oh my god." Glenn sighed of relief, wiping Clementine's eyes with his sleeve.
"Glenn…" Clem sobbed.
Clementine ran back into his embrace, not wanting to be alone. Clementine looked next to her to see a field of dead bodies, walker and human. "No." Glenn said, gently touching her face to move her eyes away. "Don't look…"
Yas! Finally things are going somewhere xD I'm very happy about this :P
