Past
Me and Clem was still embracing the hug, I wish to be everlasting. We lost so much loved ones and surviving we haven't even thought of trying to live. I know I love Clem I just wondered what she feel towards me. I was basically shattered pieces and a bleeding heart, but then Clem appeared glueing what's left of me and stitching me back.
"Clem, Everything will be ok, Everything will be ok…."
Her delicate body just shifted around, I think she's sleepy but still crying. I lifted my hands and stroking her in an attempt to soothe her.
"Clem...Clem, I will not leave you. Broken dreams, broken hearts, but here I am and forever I won't depart. Lee is gone but I'm not, I will not be gone Clementine…"
Walter came out watching me as guardian, he smiled. I watched as he passed us.
"Miss?"
The second I heard that I got up with gun in right hand and Clem in left. I walked with Clem to the side of the building seeing Walter and a redhead who was staring at Walt
"Walt you know her?"
I pointed the gun at her frightful face.
"No idea."
"What's you're name?"
"M-my name is Bonnie, my family is just down there"
She was pointing down into the pines.
"Why are you here?"
"I just saw this place and my family is starving"
I can tell she was lying but she seems nice.
"Miss erm, Bonnie we can give you something to bring back to your family"
"No sir you don't ha-"
"It would be my pleasure."
Then Walter walked off leaving only me, Clem, and this Bonnie lady. I made sure my pistol was aimed directly at her forehead but she seemed scared of me already, I already have a freaking sword and knife, and a silenced pistol, I would be scared of that.
"What's your name's"
I stared at her, she took one step forward but my gun was raised and gun notched straight between her eyes, I decided to tell her our names anyway.
"She's Clementine, I'm Etrius"
I looked down to her to see that she was sleeping in my hands.
"Pretty names"
"Thanks."
Walter came out with a box of canned goods, god damn that's a lot.
"Oh my god, this is too much."
"It's ok just help someone down the line is all I'm asking."
We waved her goodbye until her head wasn't visible anymore. I placed my pistol in my holster and carried Clem inside the lodge and then placed her on a couch and just sat watching her.
I woke up to gun clanking and metal scraping, I looked over to see Clem still sleeping but then the next thing I hear is the loudest thing I heard and the silver revolver, and then the blood.
"CLEM! NO!"
I ran over to her lifeless body cradling what's left of her bleeding corpse.
"CLEM! NO NO NO! NOOOOOOOOO!"
Clementine… A girl lost to this one world and my world is broken too but her here changed it, giving hope and now I failed her and Lee. I looked up to the gun in tears, the dark hole that took a life and soon to take another. I looked up to the owner and his eyes red and dark with a grin across his face, and all I felt was my fall. Air going through my body soothing all pain washing all the cuts and bruises as I watched as the blue sky turned into the dark gloomy skies, I looked down to see a big building and realizing I was falling towards the lodge, I was going to die in pieces. Then I woke up to metal colliding to each other. I saw that the group seemed to be getting guns and weapons from the bench, while Luke came by.
"Luke the fuck is happening?"
"Wind turbine's going crazy."
"Ah shit"
I ran over to the weapons while everyone grabbed their weapons I copied the same thing. Katana, Pistol, and Knife. I turned to see Clem weaponless. I handed her 2 of my dad's weapon.
"Here Clem, I trust you to not shoot my face off with the gun."
I laughed while she just glared into my eyes.
"Ok everyone the transformer's out so i'll need someone to come with me."
Both Luke and me raised our hands.
"Ok everyone else prepare to defend this place and turn that damn turbine off"
I watched in the distance as everyone gathered around the turbine with weapons out while me, Luke, and Kenny were on the way to the transformer.
"How long is the transformer?"
"Should not be longer than a couple minute walk."
Walkers emerged from the forest with heads straight to us.
"Well we might want to hustle because we got some walkers incoming."
I looked to my side with the katana I called "Hope", gripping the handle I lifted it seeing blade and blood next. Me and Luke were just hacking through walkers like they were paper while Kenny were shooting them with deadly accuracy as if this was a shooting gallery with ducks.
"We're finally here."
I looked at the fenced transformer. I watched as Kenny got working on the transformer while Luke kept watch killing any of the remaining walkers who are still interested in some meat.
After a while Kenny got up with a satisfied look.
"I guess you fixed it?"
"Yeah, feels great."
We all got on the run back to the lodge but Luke stopped skidding across the mud.
"Shit, it's Carver."
He took out his binoculars confirming his fact.
"Yep, we gotta get. I know where his camp is and we can break out the group"
"What now? You giving up on your group?"
"You don't know who Carver he is a very very dangerous man, Come on Etrius"
"Ok lets go."
Me and Luke started walking into the forest and I could hear Kenny muttering while he walked towards to the lodge.
"Pussy"
The night passes
"How far is Howe's?"
"Should be only a 3 more day walk"
"Oh my goddd"
Luke just rolled his eye, but then something was caught in the glimpse of his eye.
"Hey look, it's pie store!"
That one word brought a memory.
"Oh Selly where are you?"
I seriously wonder why my girlfriend brought me to play hide and seek, eh what ever there's not really anything else to do, it's not like we can get any electricity and play video games. Then the next thing in the corner of my eye was her blond hair and beautiful blue eyes then a pie...to my face. Sel just wiped the cream off of my face and we just laughed on.
My girlfriend always liked pie, I still wonder why she wasted that one perfect pie. I was snapped out of my thoughts from hearing screaming through a herd of walkers.
"Shit"
"You think we should save her?"
Wow Luke, I was sure you would just head straight into the herd but the screams seemed so familiar, I then realized who it was.
"Shit"
I walked towards the herd and pulled out Hope and my kunai which I named "Leaf" because of its silent and length and how it flies. A thing I learned from my dad was that Hope can be combined with Leaf making a deadly Leaf, which I did.
"Luke go"
"Bu-"
"I said go, you're the group's only chance of survival"
He nodded in respect and sneaked off. I walked towards the herd armed with death and with determination and no fear, I watched as heads turn and blood flies. Hope flying towards to the girl in danger, Hope, light as a Leaf but strong as steel. Eye's blurring red til the only thing I could see are corpse and blood, and my sword going crimson absorbing the blood and flesh of these walkers. I walked to the store with blade in hand I forced open the door to see her in a corner in fright. When her blue eyes met with mine…
"ETRIUS!"
She ran to me hugging me so hard, I also returned.
"Selena…"
