Welcome to chapter 8! Don't forget to favorite and review!


I stirred in my bed, the hues of the sunrise casting onto the floor. I rummaged through my bag, pulling out a old picture of Farah. Old blood and dirt stained the photograph, but I could still see her smiling face. It was her first day of kindergarten, she had decided to cut her own hair the night before. Quinn got mad that I didn't fix it, but Farah was just so proud of herself for doing it on her own, I couldn't take that away from her. I laughed lightly to myself, holding the picture to my chest. I grabbed my diary out of my bag, looking at the scores from last nights game of go fish.

James: 1

Nick: 2

Sarah: 4

Wow, I really did suck. After the first two rounds Sarah started to open up, it was nice seeing her and Nick laugh though. I rolled out of bed, hitting something hard on my way down. Which may or may not have been Nick. My bad. I could see him open his eyes, furrowing his brows.

Were his eyes always this blue? I grabbed my hood, awkwardly shifting my eyes around "S-Sorry..."

"Mmm... just let me sleep." Nick mumbled, rolling back over. Thank goodness he wasn't mad, at least it didn't seem like it. While walking over to a table I heard someone saying my name, somebody at the gate. Troy must've seen me up, I headed over to the gate. As it lifted I saw it was just Wyatt and Russell... they had a camera? Not even a newer kind, it was a Polaroid.

"Say cheese!" Wyatt exclaimed, suddenly there was a flash of light. Looking at the camera I saw a photo come out the bottom, it was me. I haven't really seen my face in a long time...

I snatched the photo from the camera, taking a close look at it. I looked like shit. "Do I really look like this? Time hasn't been kind on me." I laughed.

"Time hasn't been kind on any of us, dude. I mean just look at Russell." Wyatt and I both held in our laughs, glancing over to our silent friend.

"You ain't hot shit yourself, pal." Russell crossed his arms, angrily looking at Wyatt.

Wyatt's humor never really works on Russell, "Russ, it's a joke, chill out." Wyatt joked, nudging Russ on the shoulder.

"Where did' ya find that thing?" I held out my hand, asking for the camera, Wyatt handed it over. It had a couple scratches, but it really wasn't beat up.

"Man, this reminds me of when I was in high school. I took this photography course because some hot chick was in it, turns out I suck at photography and she had a boyfriend."

"My friend Devin tried somethin' like that too, he joined track team for a girl. Dragged me along with him..." I smiled, reminiscing.

"... Did he get the girl?" Russell spoke up, it's easy to forget the guy is here. He's just so quiet...

I went to spoke up, interrupted by somebody yelling "The fuck are you idiots doing?!". Shit, it was Troy.

Wyatt looked at Troy, "Sorry, Troy. We were relaxin' a bit-" he was cut off by Troy.

"I don't give a damn what you're doing, just keep the door shut!" Troy yelled, pushing me into the pen and shutting the door. I could hear him yell "Go get to work!" before leaving.

I sighed, turning around, being greeted by both a pair of golden eyes and a pair of blue eyes. Clementine and Nick.

"G'mornin'... d-did the yellin' wake ya..?" I walked over slowly to the table, sitting next to Clementine.

Nick shot me a look from across the table, "Gee I fuckin' wonder, did it?", he seemed grumpy. Hopefully he's just not a morning person.

"Nick." Clementine stared at Nick, an angry look on her face, "It's not his fault.".

I shifted my eyes back and forth between the two, you could cut the tension with a butter knife.

I tried to break the tension, turning my attention towards Clementine "So..how'd ya sleep, sweet pea?". I smiled at her, but her expression seemed to sadden. "Are ya okay...?".

Clem looked down at her lap, "I'm... fine.". I somehow managed to make the situation worse.

That's when the pen door opened, in came Bonnie with a tray full of bowls, "Time to eat, y'all!". Her yelling seemed to wake up Carlos and Kenny. Soon they got Sarita and Sarah up also. I watched Bonnie try to handle the tray, almost dropping it a few times.

I walked over, "Ya need help, Bon?" I flashed her a smile. I started picking up bowls, lightening the tray for her. Walking back over to the table, setting bowls in front of Clementine, Sarah, and Sarita. Bonnie finished giving out bowls. Somebody was missing.

Searching the room I found the missing person, Rebecca. I looked over at Bonnie, she had a look of sudden realization on her face, "Oh, Rebecca!" she exclaimed in her thick accent. Walking over to Rebecca's bed, she knelt down, softly waking Rebecca. I could see Rebecca smile a tiny bit when Bonnie handed her the bowl, my train of thoughts was cut off by a voice.

"Where did these come from?" It was Carlos, I turned around and saw him holding one of Sarah's braids softly.

"James did my hair for me! Isn't it great?" Sarah exclaimed, I sat down in one of the only spots left around the table, next to Kenny.

"Oh, did he?" Carlos' gaze turn towards me, his eyes looked distrustful, but why?

"Yeah, and then we played go fish! I won too!" Sarah sounded like a little girl, full of joy, I can start to tell that something is, well, off with her. She's not like the others.

The distrustful gaze I was getting from Carlos softened, maybe he saw my true intentions?

I started eating, the oatmeal was bland, but filling. I had to remember to save half of it for Luke though.

I looked over at the man next to me, Kenny. Why did that name sound familiar...? I tried thinking back, the whole past 2 years have been a blur though.

I reached the halfway point on my bowl pretty quick. I got up with my bowl, advancing towards Bonnie "Hey Bon, mind if I go work on the fence? It's been buggin' me all night. Supports are never stable enough." I let out a small chuckle at my last remark, they really weren't.

"Alright, Kenny and Mike will be joinin' ya out there later, fixin' up the expansion." Bonnie smiled, giving me permission to go. Which I did, fast. I walked to the outside, heading to the comic shop. I slowly opened the door, hoping Luke wouldn't try to jump me again.

"... Luke? It's me, I brought ya some breakfast." I whispered out, cautiously walking into the shop.

I could see a tiny bit of Luke's wavy brown hair peek out from behind one of the shelves, I could hear a faint "Over here." come from him.

Walking over, I set the bowl down in front of Luke, taking a seat next to him. Watching him grab the oatmeal and chow down.

"So, uh, Luke... I told the group 'bout ya. Told them to stop by to visit ya sometime..." I smiled at him, bringing my knees up to my chest.

Luke finished the rest of the oatmeal, "Thanks man, I'll try grabbin' Clem later."

I couldn't help but think of the million of ways for things to go wrong if he grabbed Clementine, but I shrugged it off, "I gotta get goin' now, seeya later.". I waved as I left the store.

I gave the fence a good look, even now there's nothing I can do to make them better. We'd need to brick them up.

I heard the door to the inside open, turning my head I could see Mike, Kenny, and Troy walk out. Oh yeah, Bonnie did say Mike and Kenny were going to work on the expansion. I rushed over to the group. "Ya need some help?" I asked Troy.

"Nah, these two should be enough." Troy said as he eyed up the two men, his gun pointed at them.

"Well... mind if I hang with ya? I'm not really needed anywhere..." I asked, I needed to talk with Troy about what happened with Sarah, Reggie too.

Troy rolled his eyes, "Whatever, just don't get in my fucking way.".

We reached the front of the expansion, Troy ushered Kenny and Mike into the store. Then looking over to me he said, "Up here." as he climbed the ladder to the roof. I nodded my head, climbing behind him.

You could see everything from up here, more specifically the dust that the horde of walkers were making. "How many days do ya give it, Troy?" I asked.

Troy looked out to the horde, using his binoculars, "Two or three probably, the walkers are gonna give us hell this time 'round.".

I might just be pessimistic, but I don't think we're gonna survive this horde. Especially the expansion. This isn't why I came up here though, I came up for questions. "So,uh, about the other day... with Sarah. What was that?".

Troy's eyebrows furrowed, "I was following orders, Bill said to so I did.".

"Ya seemed pretty into it for just 'following orders', Troy." I crossed my arms, looking at him. I was annoyed, "Ya get a kick outta it, don'tcha? Bill pushes ya around, makes ya feel helpless. So ya finally get to feel powerful beatin' the lil people?" I really needed to think before I spoke.

I must've struck a nerve, because Troy looked furious "Shut up, Shut the fuck up!". He grabbed me by my hood, yelling in my face. He knew I was right.

The door to the inside opened yet again, and out popped Clementine with a bucket. Bonnie peaked out from the door, "Hey Troy! Clem's just gonna take them boys some nails."

Troy unhanded me, "All right, just follow them cables.".

I wandered over to the edge of the roof, sitting down. This reminded me of Devin's 16th birthday, we were out on the roof that was accessible from my window, Devin got me to take a smoke from him. Man, I thought I could fly, and I tried to fly too. Broke my arm 'flying' off the roof.

Suddenly I heard glass breaking... and screaming? Troy looked down, "Shit!". Oh man, was it the expansion? Troy went down the ladder, running inside. I followed close behind.

Walkers were in the store, looking over I saw the window had broken. I had no weapons, it's not like the walker approaching me cared about that though. I kicked it away, knocking it down. As fast as I could I stomped the head of the walker in, soon another grabbed me.

I tried wrestling it off of me, but I was losing my grip on the walkers head. I closed my eyes, ready for the walker to fall down and bite me. Suddenly the weight was gone, opening my eyes I saw Mike lifting the walker off of me, hitting it in the head. That was the last walker.

I looked around, seeing Clementine and Troy walk out of the back room.

Kenny's eyes locked onto Clementine, "Oh, thank god, you're okay.".

Troy, ruining the moment, spoke up "All right, enough mushy shit. You get back inside right fuckin' now. I'm sure they got shit for you to do in there." he looked at Clementine and I "Now! Think I'm fuckin' around?"

As I walked outside with Clementine I could hear Troy from inside, "Now I gotta sit down here and babysit you assholes. Can't do a simple fuckin' patch job without me here crackin' the whip?".

I looked over at Clementine, "Ya okay? Hurt anywhere?". I watched as Clementine shook her head no, continuing on "Good, good. Luke wanted to see ya, I'll distract Troy." I whispered as I pointed to the comic shop.

Giving a nod she made her way into the shop, soon after Troy came walking out. I tried to start conversation to get him from hearing Clem and Luke, "Hey Troy, I think we should start makin' a brick fence, somethin' sturdy. Whaddya think?".

"Can't. We're sealing off the windows in the expansion with the bricks and cement we have left over. You're gonna start working on that tomorrow." I nodded, I could hear a door open.

Troy turned his over to the source of the sound, Clementine leaving the comic shop, "What the hell were you doin' in there?!"

Clementine jumped a tiny bit, "Looking at comics... there's a whole store full of them in there!"

Troy sighed, "Yeah? No shit. You best not dawdle, girlie. Pull somethin' like that again and you'll be meetin' the back of my hand."

I shot and angry glare at Troy, in return he rolled his eyes at me continuing, "Bill radioed. Wants a word with you up in his office, so get on up there. Now." Clementine quickly ran inside.

Suddenly there was a static from Troy's radio, "Hey Troy, I need James in the armory."

Troy picked up his radio, holding down a button. "All right, I'll send him in."

I gave a blunt "Mmkay.", walking inside. I headed over to the armory, opening the door.

Bonnie was sitting there with none other than Nick, his icy blue eyes focused on feeding bullets into the magazine.

"Hey James, you okay...?" Bonnie questioned, I jumped a tiny bit.

Fumbling my words I spat out, "Y-Yeah! I'm great, whaddya need?" while shifting around nervously.

Bonnie slyly smiled at me, "I gotta go take a leak, can you load some magazines for me?"

I laughed lightly, "Yeah, Bon." I took a seat where she once was, watching her leave.

I picked up a bullet, jamming it into the slot of the magazine. It wouldn't fit, I tried harder to push it in.

I could hear a loud sigh from across from me, "Give it to me." Nick grabbed the magazine out of my hands.

I tried protesting against the help, "Nick, ya don't have to-" I was cut off.

Nick looked up at me, sighing again "Just shut up.". He pulled the bullet out, flipping it around, and putting it in. The bullet slid through just fine then.

I spoke up in embarrassment, "S-Sorry, I never did-" I was cut off yet again.

Nick pushed the magazine back into my hands, "It's fine.".

I started feeding bullets into the magazine just how Nick did it, taking a peak up every now and then.

I spoke up from the deafening silence, "So, um, thanks for playin' with me and Sarah last night..."

Nick continued doing his work, "Yeah, sure, anytime."

The door opened, looking over I saw Bonnie walk back in, "You boys getting' along in here?".

I smiled up at her, "Mhmm, ya need anything else, Bon?".

"Nope, we're done for today, fellas. Head on back to the pen." Bonnie cheered, cleaning up the leftover bullets. Nick and I both got up from our seats.

"Well, see ya later then." I smiled and waved before opening the door for Nick. Soon following after Nick went through.

The only people in the pen were Sarah and Jane. A weird combination.

Jane was in hee corner as per usual, being the lone wolf figure and all. While Sarah was sitting by herself on her bunk.

Nick walked over to a table, sitting himself down. I headed on over to Sarah, sitting in the bunk across from her, Nick's bunk.

"Hey Sarah, how's yer day goin'?" I smiled at her, she was a nice girl, but that always comes back to get you these days.

Sarah formed a small smile, "Good, I was with Sarita most of the day... Where's my dad?" her expression turned into one of sadness.

I didn't know what to say, "He's probably still workin', hon. Ain't nothin' to be worried 'bout." I tried hard to think of a way to distract her... "Wanna play a game?"

Sarah raised an eyebrow, "What kind of game?" that's a good question... I looked around the room for something, anything to play with.

Nick's hat. We are going to get Nick's hat. I pointed over at Nick, "Ya see Nick's hat? We're gonna take it" I whispered to Sarah.

Sarah looked excited, "But... how? He's super tall!" I shushed her, her yelling would ruin the plan.

I continued on, "I'll put ya up on my shoulders, and then we'll ambush him." I whispered back to her.

Sarah smiled, "That sounds good, when do we do it?" she questioned.

I looked over at Nick, he looked deep in thought, biting his nails. Looking back at Sarah I grinned, "Now."

I knelt down, feeling Sarah's legs go onto my shoulders, "Ya ready?" I questioned, looking up. Seeing Sarah nod her head yes I stood up, holding onto her as I stood up.

"Now yer mission is to grab the hat and retreat to the bunks, okay?" I gave out commands, this was serious, this was war.

Sarah nodded her head, "I'm ready." good, it was time.

I took a big breath in, then yelling "CHAAAARRGE!" running at Nick.

I could see Nick jump, looking at us, I continued my charge. There is no mercy on the battlefield. I could hear Sarah giggling above me.

Nick tried getting up, but it was too late, we all collided. Falling down, hitting the floor.

I landed on the ground next to Nick, but Sarah landed on his torso. Nick started protesting, "What the f-" but was cut off by Sarah's hand hitting his mouth, she was still trying to get the hat.

Nick almost got her off, but she grabbed the hat at the last second. She got up, running as fast as she could to the bunks, getting up onto my bunk.

I started laughing on the ground, screaming out "VICTORY!". Sarah started cheering from my bunk.

I turned over to my right, just to be met with Nick's angry face. Oops. Suddenly the door to the pen opened, with Sarita, Kenny, Carlos, Mike, and Rebecca walking in.

Kenny looked down at Nick and I, "What the fuck are you kids doin'?".

Standing up, Nick remarked "I ain't a kid, mister.".

While getting up I heard Kenny mumble, "Sure you aren't." while walking away.

I looked over to my bunk to see if Sarah was still there, sure enough she was. With Carlos at the bottom questioning her "Sarah, what were you doing?".

"James and I were playing a game." Sarah chirped out, I could see she was wearing Nick's hat on her head. I chuckled lightly, it looked cute on her.

Everybody started grouping around the fire, well everybody except Jane, I saw Rebecca wave me over. Walking over I took a seat next to Mike. I decided to speak up, "What's goin' on?".

"We're leaving." Kenny stated bluntly, giving me a cold stare.

I tried to stare him back in the eyes, "But... why?" I didn't really need explaining, with what happened to Reggie and the whole incident with Sarah I knew just fine why they wanted to book it outta here.

While the door to the pen opened Kenny continued on, "'Cause we all know what happened yesterday! I don't know what the sonuvabitch is gonna do next!", while Kenny was talking I looked over to see who just came in. I saw Clementine walking in, confusion painted on her face.

Kenny leaned in, hushing his voice only a tiny bit, "All right, here's the plan. We make a shit ton of noise, attract the walkers over here to distract everybody. That's when we make our move.".

Mike's face became disgruntled, "So you wanna ring the dinner for a herd of walkers to show up? How is that better?" Mike had a point, how would we all get out?

Kenny starting to raise his voice gradually, "'Cause this place'll be fuckin' chaos when that thing hits. No one'll be payin' any attention to us, and that's when we go. That's our opening. We just gotta figure out a way to draw 'em to us."

I tried speaking up, to join in the conversation again, "Ken, there would be walkers everywhere."

Kenny looked me in the eyes, "You don't think I fuckin' know that?".

I saw as Clementine walked over, sitting next to me. I looked over and gave a tiny wave to her, earning a smile.

Rebecca focused her attention to Clementine, "Your friend here wants to get us killed by lurkers before Bill can do it.".

Kenny furrowed his brows, looking angrily over to Rebecca, "What is it with you?"

Rebecca took no time in replying, "That's what it sounds like to me.". Rebecca was a strong woman, not afraid to speak her mind. Good qualities, yet also bad. I know from experience speaking aloud too much can get you in deep shit.

Sarita looked around, "You know that's not what he's saying, but... it does sound dangerous.", Sarita was good at trying to please both sides of an argument.

Kenny was becoming more irritated by the minute, "This shit is all dangerous!" yelling at Sarita.

"Kenny! Do not speak to me like that." Sarita spoke up, raising her own voice at him.

I sat there silently, not knowing what to say. Hopefully Clementine will have something to say about Luke.

Coincidentally Clementine spoke up, "Maybe Luke could help us... he's outside. He wants a radio to help keep an eye on the guards." Wasn't a bad plan at all.

Rebecca's face lit up for a second, "Thank you! That's the plan I vote for." I couldn't help but notice how she glared at Kenny while stating her opinion.

Nick spoke up, "Me too." crossing his arms.

Rebecca continued speaking, "If Luke can tell us what's going on with the guards we can use that to pick a good time to escape.".

I saw Sarita crack a tiny smile at Rebecca, "That seems reasonable.". Good, we were getting a plan.

Kenny, being pessimistic, blurted out "Who knows when that'll be." He paused for a moment, looking over at Clementine, "There was a girl back at Crawford that used church bells to send walkers all over the city. We just need something really loud."

I watched as Sarita's face turned into one of deep thought, turning her head to Kenny she replied, "The P.A. System Carver is always using is quite loud."

Mike jumped into the conversation, "There's some speakers outside the building... pointed towards the parking lot. I saw 'em when we were walking out to the work. Troy's always standing next to one of them.".

Clementine looked around at the group, "I saw the controls. They're in Carvers office."

Rebecca chimed in with a "She's right. It's all controlled in Bills office. There's a switch in there that'll turn them on."

Mike questioned, "How do you know that?".

Rebecca answered, "I used to make a lot of the announcements back in the day... I had it flipped on once... luckily there wasn't much around at the time to hear it. It was plenty loud though."

I watched as Kenny's face lit up, "That's perfect! We just gotta get into his office. Why didn't you say something sooner?"

Rebecca glared at Kenny, "'Cause it doesn't change anything. This isn't a discussion about how to do it, it's a discussion about whether it's stupid. And it's still stupid. The sensible thing is to get Luke the radio and wait for an opening."

Kenny sighed, "You're real difficult to deal with sometimes..."

Sarita looked over at Kenny, "Kenny..."

Rebecca frowned, "No that's all right. You ain't exactly a peach, either.".

"Luke's in no shape to help us. You wanna put our fate in that guy's hands? It's not happening."

"Listen, you don't know jack shit about Luke!" Nick yelled at Kenny, I think he struck a nerve.

I spoke up, "Ken, you're not the leader of this group. You can't decide what we're doin'."

Kenny opened his mouth, about to yell at Nick and I, but Clementine interrupted "Why can't we do both? Even if we bring the herd to us it's probably good for Luke to be able to tell us where they're coming from."

Kenny nodded his head slightly, "You know what? Fine. I can get behind that. Okay, so we get that turd a radio, he keeps us posted on the herd's movement. We fire up the PA thing and bring the walkers to roll over this place."

Mike chimed in, "And then what?"

Kenny gritted his teeth, "Get some guns and shoot our way out. I don't know! Whatever we can! We improvise." he spat out, glaring at Mike.

Mike's eyebrows lowered, "Then that's not a plan. You don't plan to improvise."

Rebecca started to speak, "I figured what your problem is... you don't think this stuff through. If the end of the plan is to just stroll through a herd of walkers, then you should know from the jump that there's no way it's ever going to work."

"Actually..." I heard an unfamiliar voice come from behind me, causing me to jump a tiny bit, looking back I saw Jane approaching us, "I do it all the time." she finished, putting her hand on her hip.

Mike shook his head, "First words I ever hear you say, and it's just some crazy, stupid shit."

Sarita busted in, "Hush. What do you mean exactly?"

Jane looked around, "When you cover yourself in their smell, rub the walker guts all over you... they can't tell you from one of them."

Rebecca sighed, "Now I don't know who's crazier."

Jane continued talking despite Rebecca's remark, "Trust me, I've walked through herds before. It works. You just have to keep calm, and make sure you're good and covered."

"You seemed to know what you're talking about." Sarita replied.

Mike shook his head again, "This is nuts."

Kenny smiled, looking over at Mike "No, it's not. It's perfect."

Clementine looked over at Kenny, "Lee figured that out." Who was Lee?

Kenny;s eyes widened, "What?"

"It's how we got out of the Marsh House. Lee covered me and walked right through." Clementine continued. Lee must've been a smart man.

Kenny looked amazed, "Really?" he questioned Clementine. Earning a nod from her. "Holy shit. Good one, Lee... All right! What are we waitin' for? Let's get that stupid radio!"

Rebecca chimed in "We still have to find a way to get in the stockroom."

Jane butted in, "I got a plan for that, too." looking down at Clementine "Come on, kid. Gonna need your help."

Kenny pointed behind him, at Jane "Where the hell'd she come from?"

I headed over with everyone else to the old ladder Jane was talking with Clementine in front of, the only words I caught from their conversation was Jane saying "You probably won't fall to your death.".

"That thing breaks all the time. Unless something's changed, it won't support much weight." Rebecca knew just how to burst somebodies bubble.

"Come on, up and at 'em" Kenny urged Clementine on, I shot him an angry glare. He was literally trying to force her to do all this.

Sarita had the same mindset I did, "Don't push her, Kenny."

Kenny looked over at Sarita, "She's our best bet." then going back to looking at Clementine "I mean that, Clem."

Clementine looked up, "Now or never, I guess." I could tell she didn't want to.

Kenny grinned, "That's my girl. We gotta get that rope down. Mike, you wanna boost her up?".

Mike reluctantly walked over to the rope, "Come on, kid.".

He picked up Clementine by the sides, she looked down at him, "Don't let go."

Mike looked up at her, "I got you."

I watched as Clementine reached for the rope, finally grabbing it and pulling it down some more. The hook came falling down, hitting the ground. Clementine got down off of Mike, grabbing onto the rope whilst standing on the hook.

Mike started to pull her up, "Try to hurry, all right? I don't think they're the sharpest guards in the world, but they're no idiots, either. They see you're not in your bunk, we're all done." I thought about those last words, what would they do to us? What would Bill do to us?

Suddenly I could hear walking coming closer to the pen, Mike whispered out to Clementine "Shit, he's coming back! I gotta let you go, I can't stand here. Grab something!"

Clem jumped over, grabbing the ladder, almost falling. I cringed a little bit at what would've happened if she missed. The pen door opened, I looked over to see who it was, but it was only Wyatt with dinner.

Wyatt put the bowls on the table, "Here you go, tomato soup." he then left, he looked really tired.

I grabbed a bowl and sat next to Nick at a table, looking to start a conversation. "So, how long have ya known Luke...? Did ya know him before or after things went to shit?"

Nick looked over at me, "I've known him for nearly my whole life, he's like a brother to me... Is he doin' okay?" Nick frowned, his concern for his friend was endearing.

I patted Nick on the shoulder, "He's doin' just fine, I've been sneakin' him food in the mornin'."

Nick smiled slightly, "Thanks man, means a lot to the both of us."

I smiled back, "Anytime... It may be sudden but I've grown pretty fond of y'all.". I started slurping up my soup, it was pretty bland to be honest.

Nick stopped eating for a second, "Yeah? Well, I think some of us have too.".

We sat in awkward silence for a while after that, I couldn't help but have a smile plastered onto my face though.

Soon everybody started heading to their bunks, including me. Clementine wasn't back yet. I was worried something had happened to the little girl, but I was wrong, Clementine is not a little girl. She isn't a little kid anymore, you're not really allowed to be in this world. Another reason I worry for Sarah...

I pulled the diary out of my bag, doodling a picture of Sarah in Nicks hat next to a grumpy Nick. I laughed as I doodled, I wasn't the worlds best artist, but I knew what it meant at least.

I heard a thump from the other side of the room, sitting up I saw Clementine and Mike walking over to the bunks.

As Clementine got closer I heard Kenny speak, "Well?".

Sarah sat up in her bunk, "Come on, Clem, don't keep us waiting."

Clementine pulled out the radio from her pocket, smiling.

I could hear a chuckle come from the bottom bunk, Kenny, "You little devil. Everybody stay where you are. No need drawin' suspicion."

I whispered down to Clem, "Good job, hon." as I rolled over, falling asleep. I'll have Clementine give me the radio tomorrow morning, and I'll walk it over to Luke. This plan is great.


carleenuke, I'm going to be bending the canon, so the endings may be different ;D also in this canon Alvin was killed at the Ski Lodge by Carver.
