Welcome back clementeers! I bet you thought I was going to make you wait weeks for another chapter didn't you? pfffftttt nope! I try to upload a chapter every day, if not every 2 days. my schedule until November 5th is free I hope to have the story finished by then. anyway I want to answer a review questions from (nattynut) I didn't want to jump on the High School bandwagon, i wanted to do something different, however if you really want a Zombieless high school fic, I will start on that as well. and i'm not sure who to ship. i was wanting to try Click, but i'm not sure. / thank you everyone for the reviews, I have given you what you wanted, which is a full story. so ignore me saying that "this is only a short story." pretend I am saying "this is a long story." haha! anyway, this chapter will be continuing from Luke's point of view. enjoy~ Luke pov Luke' held onto his leg crying out in pain, Pete, Nick, and Alvin all hurried over to Luke's side Luke yelled out every foul word known to man as he was in pain from the area in his ribs, and the gunshot in his leg. "we need to get him somewhere safe so we can patch him up." Pete said to the other two. Nick and Alvin lifted Luke up "alright lets get out of here then." Nick said to Pete and Alvin. It was dangerous for all of them to stay there. Pete pulled his gun from the holder, and Alvin and Nick hurried along with him through the forest. it seemed like a warzone out there, gunshots could be heard form every direction followed by yelling. Pete, and the others hurried along the forest blindly, unsure of where they where headed until they spotted a small building, and hurried over to it. "we need to get inside so we can try to fix up Luke." Pete said to Nick, and Alvin. He glanced over at Luke who had his eyes shut tight, from the looks of it, he was trying to hold back from shouting, tears where leaking form his closed eyes. The door to the building opened. "you guys come in hurry." Bonnie said to the men as they all hurried inside. Bonnie covered her mouth when she saw Alvin and Nick Carrying Luke she followed them over to the table where they placed him on. "what happened to Luke?" Bonnie asked. "one of Carvers men shot him. in the leg." Pete responded, Carlos came from a different room "have any of you seen Sarah!?" he asked, worriedly, "the last time I saw her, Mike had picked her up and carried her." Nick said, and Carlos rubbed the side of his head, so many mixed emotions went through his head. "everyone Clear the room." Carlos mumbled, everyone left from the front room going into the next room where, Sarita, Kenny, and Rebecca where. Alvin smiled wide "Bec!" he said happily and hurried over to his wife's side hugging her tight kissing her. Pete took a seat beside Sarita and Nick stood by the wall biting his thumb softly; getting lost in thought. "where... is Clementine?" Kenny asked as he stared at the people who entered the room. Alvin looked at Kenny and the others and told them everything that happened. Kenny punched the pillow "damn it!" he shouted angrily, "this is all your fault." Kenny directed his anger to Alvin. Alvin crossed his arms "I was going to go back to help her, but she told me to keep I did" Alvin snapped back, Sarita looked at Kenny "do not blame him, Clementine didn't want to give Carver the satisfaction of not only catching her, but getting Alvin back." Sarita said to Kenny who only shook his head saying nothing more. In the other room Carlos used the tools in his back pack to remove the bullet, lucky for Luke, Carlos had everything he needed to fix up Luke's leg. Luke laid there Closing his eyes, he wondered if Clementine was still alive, or if Bill killed her on the spot, he wondered if she was laying there crying for him, he wondered if she got lucky and made it out, or if she even made it out of the camp; she probably got caught since most of the guards, and member of the camp where outside searching, and killing walkers. So many things crossed his mind. Bonnie entered the room walking over to the window to keep watch for Mike and Sarah. "if you see anything let me know." Carlos said to Bonnie, eager to be reunited with his daughter, "alright." Bonnie replied, and turned to look at Luke who still had his eyes closed. after a while Carlos finished patching up Luke, Bonnie spoke "I see Mike.. but... I don't see Sarah." Carlos' eyes opened wide, and he took off running going outside to talk to Mike. Luke Laid on the table unable to get up "just like a turtle." he mumbled to himself ,and then spoke up "Bonnie can you give me a hand please?" Bonnie turned around and walked over to Luke helping him sit up slowly. Luke thanked her and sighed "Mike is probably telling him Sarah either got eaten by walkers, or captured. I bet Carlos is going to feel how I feel, only worse." "Luke.. have some Faith in her, from what I hear, that girl has been through a lot, probably more than all of us put together. Maybe she managed to escape and she's on her way over here." Bonnie tried to fill Luke with positive thoughts, Carlos opened the door angrily and slammed it before Mike could enter, he walked into the room with everyone else and everyone began to argue. Bonnie and Luke stayed put not wanting to get involved. Nick snuck out of the room walking over to Luke "Mike said he had to put Sarah down so she could walk with him, and a group of walkers showed up, before he could pick her back up a walker grabbed her and him. she managed to break free and took off running in the wrong direction. Mike was lucky to make it out alive, but now we don't know if Sarah got caught by a walker, if Carvers people have her; or if she is out there all alone." Carlos walked over to the door "I'm going to look for my daughter." he said in a hostile way. "I'm going with him." Pete said picking up his stuff "hold on a minute, we can't stay here forever I'm sure Carver's people are going to check this spot." Luke reminded to the two men. "the rest of you should head out, and go to the meet up spot, Carlos and I will check the area for Sarah and if we don't find her we will head over to the meet up area. whenever he gets tired." the two men left. Luke stood up and walked around testing to see if he could move around on his own. "I should be alright until this medication stops working... you all ready to go?" Luke asked the others. Not really getting a response from anyone, but they all stood up. Luke sighed "so much has happened and the day hasn't even really started, we have to push though our hard time, because the longer we sit here and mope around, the more we put ourselves in danger." Luke lectured, and he slowly walked over to the door opening it. everyone moved out Bonnie held the original map and looked ahead "we need to head in this direction toward the river, and walk along if for about 15 minutes, then we will make it to Sway bridge. if you go under it you will find there Is a small place to stay, Carver never circled this place on his map to look for all of you so we should be safe here." "I hope so.." Luke muttered and looked up at the sky "wherever you are Clementine, if you're alive.. please stay alive and do what you can to make it out. of there." -chapter 8 end this chapter was short wasn't it? next chapter might be long because I will be continuing from Clem's point of view, and it will basically start off from the part I left off with her, which was Vince and Troy taking her away. if forgot to say my usual ending chapter thing was leave a review if you want, like me follow me do whatever you want. i'll see you guys in chapter 9. also be sure to check back in the evening, I ususally upload a chapter later in the day.
