I hope you guys like this chapter. It was a difficult one because there are some really slow parts which I don't think are all that great, but hopefully the end makes up for that.

TWD Chapter 11 - Reunions

"Kenny?!" The man who had been swinging his gun around at the group, stopped and did a double take on the child in front of him. He just stared. It was like he was transfixed, mesmerized even.

"Wait, you know this guy?" Luke voiced the whole groups disbelief with a tone that reflected it.

"Cl- Clementine?" immediately she pulled the man, now known as Kenny, in to a tight hug and Olivia couldn't help but smile, happy that Clem had found someone. Looking over at Luke however, Olly saw a small frown appear at the sight. The thought of Luke actually being jealous made her chuckle to herself. He was adorable.

Once their hug was complete, Kenny knelt before her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. The man behind him spoke next. "I'll take that as a yes."

"These people with you?" Clem nodded at her old friend, giving the man the all clear that it was safe to let them in. "We can talk inside."

"Great, I just started dinner." The other man gave them all a warm smile, which was returned with uneasy expressions from the rest of the group. Olivia trusted Clementine and Clem trusted Kenny, so she was willing to give a little more trust if they were.

Carlos seemed to agree. "Are you sure you don't mind?"

"It's going to storm soon. Please, come in."

Kenny lead their group inside, Clementine close by his side. Olivia couldn't imagine the happiness she must be feeling. To be able to grasp on to something so familiar must be nice, to say the least. Olly wondered about their history a little more. Clem didn't speak much about her past and she never pressed her too at the fear of opening old wounds. She guessed that Kenny had been part of her previous group though. The one with Lee.

Once the whole group had entered the building after Kenny and Clementine, their mouths flew open. The surroundings they were greeted with astounded them. Apart from the obvious size of the place, it had electricity! Olly had forgotten that it even existed.

"Please make yourselves at home. You can leave your things over there." That of course was going to be an issue.

"The hell we will." Rebecca, always the first to protest, scowled at the two men.

"Yeah, I'm holdin' on to my rifle, thanks." Yeah, because that's always a good idea, Nick.

"You're our guests here. There's no need to worry." When Olivia looked at Walter, she saw what she saw in Luke all that time ago. A good man. However, being parted from her katana would be a big deal for her... even the backpack on her back had been with her since the start. Any inkling that she may have judged them wrong could leave her defenceless and doomed.

"Tell him to put his gun down, then." Nick, for once, had a fair point.

"Kenny?" Walter attempted a reassuring smile, but Kenny remained silent for a long time. He looked at each member of the group individually, assessing them and suddenly Olly felt very self conscious.

"Will you vouch for these people, Clem? If you tell me they're good, then I'm good."

"Us? You were the one wavin' a gun around man!"

"Not now, Nick!" Olly scolded, still infuriated with him for his earlier endeavours.

"Look, we're cool. We're cool, okay? Hey, hey we're cool." Luke's eyes desperately switched from the strangers to Clementine. Poor girl, stuck in the middle like this.

"They're cool." Just then, Carlos and Sarah joined the rest of the group with the woman that had been with Kenny at the start.

"Dad! Look! A christmas tree!" Sarah began moving towards said christmas tree before Carlos pulled her back.

"Not now, Sarah."

Kenny looked over each person again and Olly wondered if he'd even take Clementine's word for it. She could see he was a distrusting man. Just what exactly had they been through before? When they almost gave up hope, Kenny began walking towards the benches near the entrance and gently placed his rifle down on the ground. Luke was the next to move, unsheathing his machete and setting it down on the bench. Once he had done that, everyone else joined in removing their weapons and equipment, everyone except Olly.

She stood by the benches, her katana in one hand and caressing the sheath with the other.

"It's your turn now." The bearded man scowled at her with deep brown eyes, but softened when he noticed she almost looked sad.

Her eyes drifted from the man back down to the sword. It was almost like if she did this, she was fully accepting that her past was indeed the past and she had let it go. It was stupid. She knew exactly where it would be and it wasn't going anywhere. Luke, noticing her hesitation, pressed a soothing hand over hers. They shared a sad smile and Luke gently guided her hand down until the weapon lay on the bench.

"Good. If you all follow me, I'll show you where you can sleep."

The group were led up the ski lodge stairs and were shown the bedrooms that were available. There were three double rooms and three singular rooms which contained two single beds each. One double room had already been taken by Kenny and Sarita and one singular by Walter and somebody named Matthew, so they were told. Alvin and Rebecca claimed one of the doubles which seemed fair considering they were a couple. Carlos almost took a singular with Sarah, until Luke suggested Clementine and Sarah bunked together instead.

With that, Olivia scanned beside her for the young girl but couldn't find her. Going over to the balcony, she scanned below her and found her sat on the couch with Kenny. By the distant look in their eyes, she guessed they were reminscing. Luke soon joined her and placed a quick pat on her shoulder. He hadn't asked about what happened at the bench with her sword and for that she was grateful. "Me and Nick are bunkin' in one of the singulars, Carlos is takin' the other double and it seems you have a single to yourself. You cool with that?"

Olivia nodded. "Of course. It'll be nice to sleep in a soft bed again."

"Yeah, you can say that again." There was a pleasant silence between the pair for a few minutes whilst everyone else bustled around excitedly, content in their situation. Clementine had moved from her spot with Kenny and was now with Walter in the kitchen area. "What do you make of 'em? Walter, Sarita and eh... Kenny?"

"They seem like decent people. It's obvious Kenny has had issues, but Walter and Sarita... I see what I saw in you when we first met."

Luke's eyebrow shot straight up in a quizzical expression, a slight amused smirk on his face. "Oh yeah? And what's that?"

"Kindness. I saw kindness."

Luke's face morphed in to a look she had never seen from him before. A look of sincere gratitude and pride. That look caused her breath to hitch as it had done before when they were in close proximity. The couple stared at each other, completely oblivious to the rest of the world and more content than they had been in a long time. Luke seemed to be moving in for a second time, a look of desire apparent on his face which immediately Olivia reacted to, her heart beating a little faster the closer he got. A cough sounded behind them, the moment interrupted for a second time. They both turned, red cheeked at the sight of Clementine, a amused smirk on her face. Luke rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly whilst Olly attempted to cool down her burning cheeks. "Carlos was looking for you, Luke."

"Oh, right. Eh... thanks, Clementine." With that, Luke sheepishly shuffled off to find Carlos, leaving a very embarrassed girl with a very smug one.

"What?" Clem's smile grew. She really was wicked when she wanted to be. "I'm gonna... check on Rebecca." Olivia had looked over at the pregnant lady and noticed she had seemed a bit down and tired. Olly still thought her to be overly hot-headed, but sometimes it had come in handy and she could understand somewhat with her predicament of being pregnant in a world with out hospitals... and mercy.

Rebecca sat on a table, in a rare occasion were she was alone. Her hand rested on her bump as it usually did and Olly supposed it comforted her to do so. When she joined the woman's side, she looked up and mustered her best smile. "Hey, you okay, Rebecca?"

"Yeah, I'm just tired. That's all." Olivia jumped on the desk beside her, causing the furniture to wobble under her, creating slight panic between then pair before it settled, allowing a sigh of relief and chuckle to escilate from them both.

"So, excited for this ones arrival?" Olly gestured to the baby bump that willingly exposed itself to the world.

"I've never been more excited for anything in my whole life. It's... scary though."

"I bet. We promise to look after you, though."

The woman smiled warmly. "Thank you, I appreciate that." With that, Rebecca paused for a second as if contemplating, then stared at the young woman beside her.

"What?"

A little laugh sprouted from Rebecca. "Okay, I have to ask. What's going on between you and Luke?"

Olly's embarrassment returned in full strength, her cheeks radiating heat. This only seemed to amuse the inquiring woman even more. "What makes you think there's anything going on?"

"Oh, please. Even before I saw him trying to kiss you over there, the doe eyed looks you two were giving each other the past couple-a-days were almost sickening."

Olivia was quiet for a long time. She didn't really know what was going on with Luke either. She knew she liked him and cared for him... but was there anything else? It had obviously been a long time since she'd been with anyone, so perhaps it was just lust? Yet whenever he would do something to put himself in danger, it felt like her heart was being ripped from her chest. All those barriers she had put up to keep people away... where had they gotten to? There couldn't be a worse time to fall for anyone and she knew this, but whenever she was around him, that didn't matter.

Olly sighed. "I don't know. I really don't. Even if I was certain how I felt... Would it even work? I mean surely if we're being responsible, this shouldn't happen! How would we cope if one of us..." She trailed off as a sad look swept in to her eyes, a look Rebecca was very familiar with.

"Look Olivia, part of surviving this shitty world is trying not to lose what little humanity we have left. If we're willing to give up on 'love' just because it's safer, what hope do we have? You like him, I can see that and Luke... well it's obvious how he feels. I don't want to influence you, but just think about it, okay?"

"Thanks, Rebecca." The young girl pulled the woman in to a careful hug, afraid of hurting the baby. A shocked expression grew on her face, until she returned it warmly.

"Well everyone, dinner is served. C'mon, let's eat!" Walter called from downstairs and Olly's stomach rumbled in kind. Sprinting down the stairs like she had as a child on christmas morning, Olivia took her place on the table with Luke and Nick who sat opposite each other. They were soon joined by Alvin and Rebecca who sat on the other end and Sarah and Carlos who sat in the middle. Kenny and his group sat on the other table as expected.

"You okay, man?" Luke spoke sincerely, obviously worried for his friends state of mind after today's earlier incident.

"Yeah, I'm just... I wish I hadn't pulled that trigger." Nick's sorrowful expression almost moved Olivia.

"Just try to forget about it." Luke turned to see Clementine headed towards the tables and held up a hand to off her a place between him and Olly.

"Over her, Clem!" Unfortunately, he was beaten by Kenny. Luke's eyebrows knotted together in a sad expression which straight away caused a very conflicted Clementine.

When she headed for Kenny's table, Olly understood. Luke surely didn't. "Try not to worry about it, Luke. They've been seperated for a long time, it's understandable she'd want to spend more time with him."

"Yeah, you're right." He didn't look very appeased, however and just seemed to be picking at his food, rather than eating it.

"Don't eat too quickly, Lucy, you'll get indigestion."

"Very funny."

"I thought so." Olivia shared her most dazzling grin and in return she received the result she expected, a slight smile in return.

"Maybe I should go talk to 'em? Find out a little more."

"Good idea. Find out what you can... whether we can trust them or not." There goes the paranoid Carlos again.

Nick nodded. "I'll come too. What about it, Olly?"

Olivia sighed. "I suppose somebody has to keep you boys out of trouble." With that, the three of them picked up their bowls and joined Kenny and Clementine at their table. Luke sat beside the man, whilst Nick and Olly sat either side of Clementine.

"Eh, Hey." The awkwardness of the moment as Luke spoke lay thick in the air.

"Hey there. Hope you like the food."

"Oh. It's... great. Thank you."

Really convincing Luke... I've discovered you're not a great liar, that's good to know. Time to save the day. "It's really nice, actually. What's in it?"

Kenny smiled at her. "Peaches and beans. Great for nutrition. Not too great on the way out though, I tell ya." He chortled at his own joke, whilst everyone, even Clementine, tried to hide their disgust. Once his laughter died down, he returned his attention to the lads on the table. "So... it's Luke and Nick. Luke and Nick. You guys sure do look like a match." Whilst Luke and Nick looked up with a scrunched face, Oliva couldn't hold back a giggle, which just caused Luke to scowl again.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Nick, the ever defensive one, took his stance.

"I'm just saying you look like good friends, that's all. Besides, aren't you with..." Kenny looked at the man beside him and gestured to Olivia, which caused her to choke on her peaches, Luke's eyes to dart around everywhere except at the girl in question and Nick to give his friend a very questoning look.

"Com'on Kenny, you're embarrassing them." Sarita touched her lovers arm, but still looked rather amused by the whole situation.

"Sorry, didn't realise it was a big secret."

Olivia felt like arguing that they weren't together, but decided against it... she'd only stumble over her words and make herself look more guilty.

Obviously feeling the heavy atmosphere, Luke made an attempt at changing the subject. "So what was your plan here? Hold out for the winter?"

"Actually, we were thinkin' of moving on. Somewhere up north." Kenny's faraway gaze turned to Clementine. "Ever heard of a place called Wellington?"

"Wellington? The hell is that?"

Luke's confrontational tone seemed to grate on the older man. "A place."

Sensing tension, Clementine responded quickly. "Yeah, me and Christa were going there."

They shared a proud smile, Kenny obviously happy that someone was on the same page as him. "There's supposed to be a big camp up near Michigan."

"Michigan?" Olivia sighed. Here we go... Nick's turn now.

"You got a hearing problem, kid? Yeah, Michigan. Think about it. Fresh water, lots of land and cold ass winters, so the walkers get slow."

"Sounds like bullshit."

It was evident the older man, who had obviously had to deal with plenty of shit, was losing his temper fast as he glowered at Nick. "Listen, Vanilla Ice, I don't know what your problem is, but you're more than welcome to take off in the morning."

"Well, that'd be just fine by me!"

Both young men were shooting daggers at Kenny, obviously feeling outnumbered, he involved Clementine. "What's the deal with these guys, Clem?"

"Hey, fuck you, buddy."

"Nick, stop it!" Nick didn't seem to hear the redhead, or just didn't care to, as he completely ignored her.

"It's fine, Nick, we're not stayin'"

"She's staying!" Kenny pointed to Clementine, obviously making her feel uncomfortable.

Olly wasn't going to let that slide. "Excuse me? I think that's Clementine's choice, if she wants to stay with us, she'll stay."

"Please. Don't fight." The tables eyes turned on the little girl who looked severly tired with the situation.

"Sorry, Clem." Olivia placed a comforting hand on the girl's shoulders, which eased in to slightly.

Kenny seemed as if he was about to retaliate, until his friend, Walter, came over. "Gentlemen, please. There's no need for this. Now look, we've all had a long day. Please, eat."

There were a few seconds of silence, before Kenny spoke. "Pass me that can, Duck."

The shocked expressions of Kenny and Clementine sent shockwaves of curiousity across the table, only voiced by Luke. "Duck? Who's Duck?" Nobody answered the question, the only response given was a warning glance by Clementine. A warning not to continue the line of questioning.

The atmosphere in the room was dense with remorse and it was indisputable nobody should take about why. "Hey, Clementine. Would you, uh, lend me a hand outside for a moment?" The girl hesitated slighly, before rising from her seat and leaving a very distant looking Kenny to his thoughts.

Knowing that the conversation was over, the three of them decided it best to leave also. Nick said he was done and headed straight upstairs to the room him and his friend had planned to stay in.

"Aren't you going to join him?" Luke and Olly stood in the kitchen area after leaving their bowls on the side. Olly was leaning against the counter, gazing up at Luke, who seemed to be another place completely with his thoughts.

"W-what? Oh... eh, no. I'm not really tired."

"Okay, hit me with it. What you thinking about?"

He sighed. "Just about where we're going to go tomorrow. We can't stay here, not with what Clementine saw."

"Oh, yeah. I had almost forgotten about that. You think we're safe here for tonight?"

"I think so, I don't know. Clementine did say the lights were headed back in to the forest."

"I'm sure we're..." Olivia's sentence cut short when her eyes glossed over a frightening sight.

"W-what? What is it?" When she didn't answer, he followed her eye-line and immediately saw what she did. "Oh, shit." Across the room lay a picture of Walter and the man Nick had shot on the bridge. "Oh no, no, no. Shit, what are we goin' to do?" Luke grasped the picture with shaky hands.

They both heard the door open and close, the sound of the footsteps told them it was Clementine. Once she was in sight, Luke called her over. "Clementine. Don't freak out." A concerned expression greeted them and Olivia tried to reassure her with a smile. When the girl got closer, Luke explained the situation. "Listen, okay. We gotta tell you somethin'. That guy on the bridge was Walter's friend." He produced the picture of the couple that Olly's keen eye had spotted.

"I knew, for sure." The trio looked at one another in turn, having a silent conversation. It was obvious that there was no sure way to proceed with this.

Luke seemed to make the decision for all of them. "I don't think Walter knows yet. So we have to keep this quiet. I mean, who knows what the hell he'd do if he found out."

"What if he finds out anyway?"

"Then.. then we'll figure something out at that moment."

"It's not a very strong plan, Luke."

"I know, Olly, I know. It's all we got though. Now, Clementine, do you still have that knife you found?" This is the first Olly had heard of any knife. "Because if it's Matthews, and Walter sees it, he's gonna put two and two together."

"It's with the other weapons."

"Okay, well, go get rid of it. I'll go find Walter and run interference."

"This is risky, Luke."

"I know. I know it is, but we have to try. Oh and Clem, uh... keep an eye out for Nick."

"I'm right here, what's up?" The three of them turned, their hands behind their backs, like teenagers caught smoking in school.

"Oh, uh, it's nothing, man. I just wanted to check and see if you're okay." Worst. Liar. Ever...

"Hey, if there's something goin' on, I want to know."

"Nah, just go back to bed." Olivia shot a nervous glance to Luke, who simultaneously did the same.

"I'm serious, you guys can talk to me."

Olivia sighed and took the photo from Clementine, who seemed indecisive on what to do. Once Nick had seen it, she instantly regretted showing him.

"Oh God. Oh Jesus!"

"Goddammit, Nick. Shut the fuck up."

"I can't, man. I can't."

"Nick, please. You'll drop us all in it. We're leaving in the morning, just fucking keep quiet 'til then."

"I can't! I have to tell him, Olly." Olivia pressed her hand to her temple, trying to restrain from groaning at Nick's stupidity. "I've got to, guys. I cant live with that on me!"

"Either way is risky."

Olly sighed in defeat. "Clementine's right. I think this is Nick's decision, Luke..."

"Look, I hear you... but fuck man, do you know what he's gonna do?"

"I can't handle this." Nick protested, his head in his hands as he walked away.

"Look, Clem... just go do that thing. Me and Olivia will handle this." No matter what Luke said, he was tired and it was obvious.

The couple chased Nick upstairs who was pacing furiously. "Nick, you need to calm the fuck down."

"What if it was you, Luke? Could you just 'calm down'?" Nick removed his hat to run his hands through his hair, exasperated.

"Nick, you have to think about the rest of us too. If you tell him, they'll kick us out or worse... We need to get Rebecca a decent nights rest." Olly pleaded as best she could.

Hunched over, Nick sighed. "You're right. I just... need some air." Nick, feeling defeated, left the scene and his friends in favour for the outdoors, allowing Luke to breath a sigh of relief.

"Thank you. You were great." Luke mumbled under his hands, as his fingers rubbed against his eyes.

"You need to sleep."

"Oh yeah, right, because I'm totally in a state of mind to get a good nights rest." He sighed.

"You put too much pressure on yourself. You take on everyone elses problems and battle everyone elses fights. I think it's about time you put yourself first."

Luke gazed down at her, a smirk appearing on his face. "I've tried to... twice." Her dazed eyes and uneven breathing increased the size of his smile, smug he could cause that reaction. However, the sound of the wind turbine outside increasing in speed interrupted their thoughts. They obviously weren't the only ones to hear it as the others left their rooms to investigate also.

Exiting the lodge, they all came face to face with a grieving Walter, Clementine and Nick. "Walt? What's going on?" Luke and Olivia knew Nick had told him, but that wasn't their main concern at that moment in time. "The storms got it spinnin' outta control. That sounds gonna draw walkers. We gotta shut it down."

"Nick, help me get the guns." Carlos demanded and Nick promptly followed. It wasn't long before they returned with the weaponary. Each person was handed a gun, even Clementine. When Nick offered her a gun, she refused.

"Just give me my katana. I was never that great with guns. My gun was always empty for that reason." He nodded and handed her the sword. Olly felt complete again.

"That thing's a damn dinner bell!" The whole group sprinted towards the turbine, the adrenaline kicking in, causing their breath to become erratic. However, as soon as they reached said dinner bell, a spine shiveringly loud bang was heard from across the way.

"What the hell was that?" Luke's voice wavered as he spoke, the adrenaline obviously taking its affect.

"Dammit, transformer musta gone. Gotta check it. I could use a hand."

"I'll go with you." Of course it would be, Luke. Why must you do this to me?

"I'm going too."

"No, Sarita! It's too dangerous. Rest of you, get this thing shut down."

Kenny and Luke began their trek to the transformer and panic rose inside of Olly. He could die... He could die! I could die! Rebecca's words played in her mind and in a split decision, she responded the only way she could. "LUKE!" At the sound of his name being called, he turned to the sight of a very distressed looking red head scampering towards him. Before he knew what was happening, her soft lips were pressed against his and her arms around his neck, a kiss so desperate it promised so much if they both got out of this alive. The kiss was quick, but powerful and told them more than either of them could say through words. It was something they had both been waiting for. "Make sure you come back to me." Luke nodded carefully and quickly chased after Kenny, leaving a very flustered girl. She couldn't allow herself to be distracted anymore, she had a little girl to protect.

Olivia sprinted back to Clementine's side at the turbine which Sarita had already approached and opened.

"Does anyone know how to do this?" Carlos spoke hesitantly, obviously ruling out that he didn't. Worringly, Sarita just shrugged as did everyone else.

"I can do it." Surprised eyes turned on the little girl, even Olly's.

"Okay. We'll watch your back. Nick scan the trees with me. Olivia stay by Clementine's side, if any get too close, dispatch them with your sword."

Olivia nodded assuredly, unsheathing the blade. "You got it."

Whilst Carlos and Nick walked off, Clem took out her lighter and used it to light up the box. Olly had her back fully to Clementine, weapon in hand, ensuring all perspectives were in sight. Before the groans were even fully audible, the turbine came to a stop, leaving Olly to turn to the girl with pride. Before celebrations could ensue, the warning sounds of oncoming walkers sprouted from the trees, ensuring everybody's guard went straight back up.

"We don't have much ammunition." Carlos' voice was timid as he spoke, obviously frightened.

"We gotta get back to the lodge."

Olly was scouting the tree line, taking note of how useful she'd be in this fight. Her keen eye spotted the coming roamers behind them. "They're behind us too!" Nick shot the one closest to them which began the chain of shots being fired. "I'll get the ones behind us, you guys concentrate on the other side." They nodded in agreement, turning to fire in their own direction. "Clementine, start firing at the ones that get too close and when you can, make a break for the lodge." She agreed and held out her gun in front of her, preparing to fire.

Olivia sprinted to the one closest to her, shoving her blade up through it's mouth, and sliding it back out when the corpse was lifeless. She ran to the next, swiping horizontally, removing it's head completely. Another human eating critter hobbled close to her, gnashing it's teeth. Olly brought her katana down in to it's brain in one swift motion. Unfortunately, the diagonal direction she had brought the blade down in meant it had gotten stuck, and another one of those things were gaining on her. Her heart hammered against her chest as she attempted to yank the weapon out. A gunshot was fired, splattering the brain of the oncoming roamer, giving her time to unhinge the weapon from the brain she had just destroyed. She turned to see Clementine pointing the gun in the direction that the walker had come from. She had saved her life. Olivia gave her a grateful smile before ushering her to continue her way towards the lodge.

Believing Clementine was surely able to protect herself, Olly ran to join Nick who seemed to be struggling to hold off a whole pack of them. She cut through two of them before he even realised she had arrived to help him. He quickly dispatched three more before his gun clicked, signalling he had no ammo. That's why Olivia hated guns. "Go, Nick! I'll finish these off." He nodded and ran off, presumably heading towards the lodge. He didn't get very far before he was grabbed by a roamer, but with Olivia now some what preoccupied, she was unable to help him. She tried to speed up her dispatch of those remaining, but there were so many and she couldn't allow herself to get sloppy.

"Please! Help me!" Olly turned at his pleas, allowing for one of the critters to lunge towards her and knock her off her feet. So much for not getting sloppy. She attempted to keep it at bay as her other hand reached for her sword, which had just fallen out of reach, but the corpse was too strong. Her muscles ached with fatigue and their weakness meant she was unable to push it off. She wasn't sure if anyone could even see, or if anyone would even bother rescuing her. She couldn't rely on that at this moment in time, she had to concentrate on getting herself out of it.

That's when the sound of assault rifles were heard from the tree lines and the roamer on top of her was shot dead. Relief washed over her for a split second as she mustered the strength and pushed off the corpse. Then her guard was back up instantly as she grabbed her sword from the ground. Spotting Carlos, Nick, Sarita and Walter, she quickly joined their side, preparing for whoever it was out there. Her heart skipped a beat, however, when she realised that Clementine wasn't here. "Where is she?"

Carlos didn't answer, just subtly pointed to the lodge. Good. Then Olly still had her. She had no idea where Luke was... or if she'd even see him again.

Once all the roamers had been dispatched, the oncoming figures of four people approached. They were difficult to make out in the dark, but she was certain they were heavily armed and the one in front was Carver. That bastard.

"Howdy, folks." The cringe worthy voice of the man, who had pushed his way through the old cabin, came in to view.

She could see all four of them clearly now. First, there was Carver, then a woman with her hair tied back, a rough looking man and... a set of emerald eyes, identical to hers. Her heart stopped and her knees trembled.

"D-dad?"
