Clementine was nearly out of breath when she finally got to the civil war site, and Jane close behind her. They couldn't believe they actually made it. "Clementine? Jane?" They both heard a familiar voice from around the corner of the building.
"Bonnie!" Clementine said and ran towards her friend. "It's so good to see you..." She said as she hugged the older woman. She then saw the rest of her group: Nick, Luke, Kenny, Mike, and Rebecca... So they hadn't suffered any casualties. "You guys haven't found Sarah?" Clem asked and Bonnie shook her head no.
"She might be inside." Luke offered.
"I found her glasses..." Clem said and held up the broken lenses.
"Oh dear..." Bonnie trailed off.
"Bonnie, Bonnie, I need you..." Rebecca said as she squeezed the ginger's hand.
"Her contractions are starting..." Bonnie said. "I need that door open now!" She ordered to the boys.
"Are you okay Clem?" Kenny asked as he walked over to the little girl, and bent down to her level, so that they were making eye contact. Clementine nodded with a small smile. She was just glad that they finally made it to this damned place, and maybe they could be safe now.
"Jane took care of me." Clem said and looked over to Jane who was helping Luke, Nick, and Mike get the building open.
"Where's Sarita?" Kenny asked, but in his eyes, well, his good eye, you could tell that he already knew her fate.
"She was going to turn." Clementine said sadly. "I had to... You know..." She trailed off, not being able to look the older man in the eye. It seemed as though Kenny had bad luck when it came to losing people you loved. Clementine knew that Sarita made him happy, and she didn't want him to go back to that dark place when Katjaa and Duck died. Clem wanted Kenny to be strong, for her sake, and for the safety of the group. "I'm sorry..." She managed to get out.
Kenny sighed, "It ain't your fault darlin'." He told her, with a gentle voice. "She's in a better place now."
"With Lee." Clementine nodded.
"And Kat and Duck." Kenny smiled. "Now, you think you can help me get this door open?" Kenny asked as he turned around to look at the small civil war site building where Mike, Jane, Nick, and Luke were busy trying to pry open doors, windows, whatever they could to get inside.
Clementine nodded, "Here, you can use this." She said as she gave Kenny her small axe like weapon.
"Thanks Clem." Kenny replied as he got up to go help the others.
"Clementine?" Bonnie called out. "You think you can help me with Rebecca?" She asked.
"Yeah." Clem said and ran over to where Rebecca and Bonnie were sitting on the ground. "How are you feeling Rebecca?" Clementine asked as she grabbed the older woman's hand. In this moment right here, it reminded Clementine of when Christa was about to have her baby. They were holed up in a little room, the windows and doors boarded up, and Christa was in excruciating pain. They two were by themselves, so Clem pretty much had to deliver the baby on her own. But the baby didn't live, it was dead when it was born. That was something else Clementine didn't really want to experience. She wanted Rebecca's baby to be okay. She wanted Rebecca's baby to at least be alive. But in a world like this, those chances were slim to none.
"I feel like shit." Rebecca finally managed to get out. "I'm about to have my damn baby in the fucking zombie apocalypse."
"It's gonna be okay Bec." Bonnie tried to coax.
"I wish Alvin was here." Rebecca said. "He'd know what to do. I'm hopeless with a kid."
"You've got all of us to help you." Clementine replied, trying to make the woman feel better. Over time, she and Rebecca had grown to become pretty close, and Clem was quite fond of the woman. Suddenly, another contraction hit, and Rebecca squeezed Clementine's hand with all the force she could muster up. Clem knew she was in pain.
"She's getting close." Bonnie noted, then looked over to where the boys and Jane were working on the door. "How's that door coming?" She yelled out.
"We're almost in!" Luke called out, and then continued busting down the door.
"Y'all better hurry up, this baby's gonna be here soon!" Bonnie said. As Clementine sat there, she hoped Sarah was okay, or at least alive. Why couldn't they just find her already? Deep down, Clem hoped she was inside this little building, but she knew that there was a small chance of that too. Sarah was probably long gone by now, and now they'd never find her.
Suddenly, something in the corner of Clementine's eye caught her attention. It was something at the edge of the forest, and when she turned to look to see what it was, she knew that they were doomed. There was a horde of walkers coming towards them; about twenty or so if she wanted to guess. "Uh... Guys..." She said, getting the other's attention. Everyone else then looked in her direction, and saw the walkers as well.
"Fuck!" Kenny said as he continued bashing the door. "Fucking walkers are a pain in my goddamn ass."
"You attracted them with the noise." Jane pointed out.
"Do we have any weapons?" Nick asked.
"Come on Nick, we'll hold 'em off." Luke said as he pulled out a small gun, and grabbed Nick's arm, then ran towards the horde of walkers. Those two would at least slow the walkers down, and buy Kenny, Mike, and Jane some more time to get the door open.
"Hurry up and get the door open!" Bonnie said.
"Why does this have to be happening now?" Rebecca managed to get out.
