Chapter 2
They arrived at the water right around when the sun set. Lee still hasn't said anything really and neither had Clementine. They sort of just wanted the silence but at the same time Lee needed to know Clementine was okay with the fate of her parents. They had become walkers.
At the water front Kenny and Christa pushed the boat in the water.
"Everybody ready?" Kenny called. Lee nodded and nudged Clementine.
"You ready?"
"Yeah..." She said quietly. They began to walk to where Kenny stood when Lee felt a pull on his arm.
"How did you know they were my parents? Walkers don't always look like the same as when there alive." Clem asked.
Lee pulled out the picture in his pocket. "I grabbed this for you when we left your house. For a gift or something." He pointed at her parents in the picture. "Right by the door there were two walkers who looked exactly like that..."
"Oh." Clem answered.
"I'm so sorry Clem. This shouldn't have to happen to you. I promise ill keep you safe now that there gone." She nodded and took his hand and the two proceeded to the boat.
Kenny sat in the drivers seat and Omid in the passengers while Clementine, Lee and Christa sat in the back. They set sail for a few hours before the boat began to slow down.
"What's going on?" Lee asked.
Kenny pointed up ahead. " I don't see any docks over here. Will have to try a different spot. Ill try going more south and see what happens."
"Whatever you say Ken." Lee answered and turned to Clementine.
"Lee do I have to where this jacket?" She asked pulling at the strings of her life jacket.
"Yes Clem. You don't want to drowned do you?"
"But no one else has to where them."
Lee shrugged "There was only one on the boat and I thought you should be the one to where it. I just wanna keep you safe." What he said wasn't really true. There were two more life jackets back there but no on could decide who got to where them so they just left them behind.
Another few hours and it had gotten quite dark. Kenny still was driving but Christa went to the passengers to help him find a dock quicker while Omid came to the back to sleep. Lee was having trouble trying to sleep on the boat. He had trouble sleep in the train as well. Both times though he had important things on his mind. In the train all he could think about is Carley and how much he would miss her and how much he wished he could have stopped Lily from the gun shot. He also had thought about how horrible Kenny's situation had been. He lost everything in one day but still couldn't give up. He kept fighting back feelings but Lee didn't want to get punched in the face again asking. Now sitting on the boat Lee thought of how hard it would be for Clem to move on without the hope of her parents coming back. She had nothing to hope for now. He looked over to her sleeping figure. Unlike last night she seemed not to be so sad. There weren't tears in her cheeks and her face wasn't frowning. Lee didn't understand how strong she was being was even possible but it helped him believe again, helped him believe the world might turn back to normal one day.
Finally Lee heard Kenny say something about a dock up ahead. Lee looked to where he was heading towards but couldn't see much due to the dark. Lee was glad they were gone from Savannah but what if where they were heading was much worse? He could only pray this place would be safer for Clementine and him seeing Clementine was his number 1 priority now.
