welcome Back Clementeers, welcome to chapter 10! this chapter is just full of wow. I am very pleased with how it came out. I decided to give the way I type things up a change. in chapter 9 I asked if space when a character speaks would be easier to read. i typed the chapter up in that way and i found it was easier for me! Have you guys checked the review section? i posted some stuff back to you! anyway Chapter 10 i hope doesn't have many errors, i have been awake working on this for hours, and i am too lazy to fully reread what i wrote and correct stuff. i only corrected the words that had the red squiggly line under them. haha Enjoy the chapter thanks for being so supportive!
Sarah stared at Clementine, her eyes wide open, and her cheeks we with tears, Bill turned to face Sarah, and walked over to her removing her glasses, and sat them on his desk. "hush little girl, your friend is just taking a little nap. she isn't dead yet." Bill muttered and cleaned Sarah's cheeks with a tissue, but the tears just kept rolling down. Troy knelt down and fixed Clementine's chair so it was standing back up he lifted clementine's head.
"I really knocked the shit out of her, but it was well worth it." he mumbled lightly, and let go of her head letting it fall back down, he lifted her shirt enough to show her stomach revealing a ugly bruise on her stomach. "and check out this mark I left."
"That's enough Troy." Bill muttered "you need to get ready, since Bonnie isn't here you Vince and I will be leaving in the car to the Ski resort just as we did the first time we snatched everyone up. I will leave these two up here and have someone check on them every hour." Once bill gave his instructions to Troy he turned to Sarah "if I found out you lied to me, I'm going to have to hurt you, and I don't want to hurt you, you're such a... sweet girl." he turned around and left the office going down the steps.
"Clementine, please don't be dead." Sarah said to her friend, She was well aware of Walkers, due to her what she had saw during the incident at the ski resort, and escaping earlier in the morning. She knew that if someone died, and they weren't killed the right way, they could turn into a walker and take the lives of those trying to survive. Hours had passed, each hour someone new came to check on them. First Wyatt, showed up, and then Bill showed up, only to grab a knife from his drawer, he then walked over to the pda
"The members I selected to travel, head out to the truck, we will be leaving shortly, as for the rest of you here, I want you to come check on these two up here each hour, pop your head in the office, take a look and get out. if they bad mouth you, I give you permission to put them in their place, but don't kill them. If things get crazy here, you all better make sure you protect my damn community or else." he then left the office speaking to someone outside "lets get this trip over with, we have a long day of traveling ahead of us, we should be back by nightfall." the only thing Sarah could do was wait for Clementine to wake up, she stared at her friend not taking her eyes off of her, unless she heard the others goofing off becauase Carver wasn't there, she saw that at every hour someone came up to the room to check in, she hated seeing Wyatt, Russel, Tavia and Becca, god did she hate when Becca was around. Becca was so rude, and hated her for no reason. This time Becca's sister Shel entered the office with some food.
"I know, Bill told us not to feed you, but there is no way I can starve someone." Shel said with a soft smile on her face, unlike Becca, Shel was a very kind person, She normally liked to do what was right, unless she had no choice but to do the wrong thing. "I'm not allowed to untie you, but I will feed you, here open up." she said to Sarah as she picked up a bowl with mixed fruit inside, holding the spoon up to Sarah's mouth. Sarah turned her head away quickly.
"I'm not hungry Shel," she whined, just like a baby, Shel placed the bowl down on the table, and sighed
"alright Sarah, I will come back again for the next hour." Shel said, calmly, and left the office. Sarah focused her attention back on Clementine. she saw her eyes flutter open
"Luke." she said loud and took a deep breath sighing in relief, she just had a nightmare, and finally woke up. "Sarah."
"Clementine! you're alive." Sarah said happily, she then told Clementine everything that happened to refresh Clementine's memory. Clementine winced as she moved, the pain from the bruise on her stomach was annoying, any little move she made, only made the pain worse.
"its getting dark already, I was asleep too long, we need to figure out a plan to get out of here now! we need something sharp but..-" just then Clementine remembered Luke giving her a pocket knife. "Sarah I need you to move your chair over here, If you can reach into my pocket, and grab the pocket knife out that Luke gave me, you can cut me free, and we can break out of here, lets just hope that no one decides to come in and do an additional checkup." Clementine commanded in a gentle way, and Sarah rolled her chair over to Clementine. the only thing Clementine could do was hope, and pray that Sarah was able to reach the pocket knife, and that no one walked into the office. "okay Sarah, the pocket knife is in my back pocket. reach in and grab it." Clementine braced herself and closed her eyes tight as she turned her lower body as much as she could to Sarah, Sarah managed to grab the pocket knife
"I got it Clem!" she said happily.
"good, Sarah, good... now grip it tight so you don't drop it, and press the button, and feel for the rope with your fingers and start cutting upward." Clementine gave Sarah detailed instructions and Sarah followed them clementine even moved her arms so she could cut faster and finally Clementine broke her arms free. "you did it Sarah!" Clementine praised, and looked up at the clock "sheesh that took forever, but it was worth it." just then there where footsteps coming up the steps. Sarah went back to her spot after Clementine took the knife and tucked it back into her pocket. she then put her hands behind her back. Tavia entered the office
"Bill is pissed off, he said they weren't at the ski lodge. looks like this is your final half hour together." Tavia chuckled and left the room. once she was gone Clementine laughed a little "that's what you think, but we are bustin out of here. since Tavia came to check on us, we need to go." Clementine reached into her back pocket and pulled out the pocket knife, she quickly cut the rope that held her legs together and stood up walking over to Sarah cutting her free, and gave Sarah her glasses back. once Sarah put them on Clementine spoke.
"Alright Sarah, Stay close to me, be quiet and listen to my every command, if you see something important just tug my shirt." Clementine said to Sarah, and Sarah nodded. Clementine walked over to the door "watch over me mom, dad, Lee... and everyone else I lost along the way." she said quietly, and turned the knob to the door she decided to lock the door and close it and headed down the steps slowly keeping the pocket knife in her hand, just in case she needed to use it. she slowly peeked around the corner and saw it was clear and hurried to the corner. security was everyone, but they where more relaxed because Bill wasn't around. Clementine peeked around the corner, and saw that the way she was taking Alvin down. was Dark and no one was there. she reached back and took Sarah's hand into hers and crouched down, Sarah followed clementine's actions and followed Clementine to a set of boxes Clementine could feel her heart race, it also hurt like hell to be crouched down. the two of them slowly moved down the hallway and Clementine whispered to Sarah "you stay right here by this trash can, I need to go get something. if someone shows up don't move don't say a word."
"okay, please hurry back, I don't like being alone." Sarah said as her eyes widened, Clementine changed her mind, and decided to have Sarah go with her to the end of the hall where her bag was stored "what are you doing" Sarah asked quietly.
"I'm going to see if the backpack Bonnie left for me is still where I left it, after that we can get out of here." Clementine replied, and to her luck, she found her bag still in the same spot she left it, She hoisted it over her shoulder, her eyes widened as she saw the truck pull up, and Bill running up to his office with a sharp object in his hand. "shit.. we need to go.. but we cant go through the front, we will have to find another way out." Clementine thought and led Sarah down the long hallway.
"their gone! search the camp and find them now!" Bill shouted, angrily and all the guards started to move quickly looking around.
"oh no.. come on Sarah I know somewhere we can go." Clementine huffed, and took Sarah by the hand they both hurried over to the door where the roof was, and went to the side path. moving along the stores, she saw flashlights where searching the area, and hurried going to the comic book store pulling Sarah in. they both went to the shutter Closet Clementine first went to "o..okay Sarah try not to breathe hard. just close your eyes and hold onto me." she said scared as hell hearing al the voices shout. Sarah held onto Clementine tight, Clementine held onto Sarah. her heart thumped as the door swung open from the comic book store. she begin to think this was it. This time the person searching was going to open the closet and find her and Sarah. "I don't want to die... not now." Clementine thought to herself, tears welled up in her eyes as she thought about everyone. "im sorry Luke." she whispered lightly. the light from the flashlight shined into the room, Clementine saw a rand reach for the knob and turn it. Sarah tightened her grip and Clementine did too. the doors opened and the flashlight shined on them. Clementine gasped along with Shel.
"you two.. are in so much trouble." Shel said with a sad look on her face.
"shel..." Sarah said to her old friend as she let go of Clementine and hugged shel.
"listen.. i'm... going to help you guys escape, the reason is if I was in your shoes, and I had to take Becca away from here, I would do anything to get out, and I also owe Carlos a favor for something he did for me." Shel said, and someone stepped into the comic store she turned around and walked out.
"are they in here?" Bill asked, Shel
"no sir, I check this place already. I looked everywhere." Shel said in her usual calm way. Bill left angrily shouting for his people to keep searching. Clementine sighed in relief and she left her hiding spot with Sarah by her side. She also pulled some pain killers from her backpack and popped them into her mouth taking a sip of her water. Shel led them to the end of the hall making sure it was safe to go she walked them to the first room by the trashcan and brought them inside closing the door "this is my room, you tow Climb out of this window and please hurry before." there was a loud bang on the door.
"Shel why is your door locked?" Troy asked from the other side. Shel slowly slid the window up and held it for Clementine, and Sarah while they climbed out. "I'm changing Troy, my door shouldn't always have to be unlocked especially when I'm changing clothes."
"alright, but hurry the fuck up, Bill doesn't want anyone to rest until we find the girls." Troy said and left the door. Shel quickly turned to Clementine, and Sarah
"go as far as you can, and please hurry." Shel said to the two of them, giving Sarah a big hug.
"okay, Thank you so much for your help." clementine also gave Shel a hug. After the 3 said their goodbyes, Clementine, and Sarah hurried to the forest of trees using it for their protection. "don't worry Luke, i'm coming for you, please be ok" Clementine whispered to herself.
