Hey guys, I'm back! Now what did you guys think about Lilly?! Now this is going to be a not-so-reinforced chapter. Not really a fan of this part.
As, always I don't own TWD or ME. Onto the show.
A New Future Ch.8
Clementine's POV:
Lilly just looked at us as if we were ghosts. Then she fainted. Kenny walked over to her and poked her with his rifle. As he did, she groaned and he said "I thought she was made of tougher stuff."
Clementine nodded and remembered the last time she had seen the unstable woman. Lee had let her take the RV because he knew she would not last long out there by herself.
Kenny and Walter picked her up and brought her inside.
Carlos saw her and shouted "Where did you find her?!"
Kenny said "We found her outside. She was peering and when she saw Clem and me, she fainted."
Luke and Nick laughed while Alvin said "Why would she faint?"
Clementine answered this time "She's part of our old group. Remember, Alvin? I told you about her."
Alvin looked at her curiously and asked "That's your Lilly?"
She nodded and asked Carlos "How do you know her?"
He looked down at her and said "We met her in the Carver's camp. She started out rebellious as the rest of us, but quickly died down and became one of Carver's most trusted, um, officers I guess you could say. She had once torn out Rebecca's hair for not working quick enough."
Rebecca snorted and said "Never forgave the bitch."
Kenny looked at them and said "She's got to have an angle. The Lilly I knew was the most stubborn woman I've ever met. No one can break her."
Walter piped in "Well, let's put her on the couch until she wakes up."
Kenny and him dropped on the couch near the fire and Clementine volunteered to watch her.
Occasionally, Lilly would whimper and figet. Then all of a sudden, she started saying Lee's name. At this, Clementine covered her ears to keep the memories from taking over. Lee had taken Lilly's side in things most of the time because, unlike Kenny, she thought of the group, but after her dad died, she just got scared. Lee had said that when people are scared, it could make them angry.
With Ben stealing the supplies, Carly pressuring her, and Kenny questioning her, Clementine figured she had just... snapped. After a few minutes, Clementine saw a flicker of movement. Her eyes darted towards Lilly and watched as the woman opened and rubbed her eyes and as her eyes focused, they landed on Clementine.
Clementine smiled and said "Hey Lilly. It's been a long time."
Lilly jumped back and said "Clementine? How is this possible? Where are the others? I saw Kenny, but where's Lee?"
Clementine lowered her gaze and said in monotone "He's gone. Kenny and I are all that's left. I just got here a few hours ago."
Lilly stopped her rambling and said with sorrow in her eyes "Clementine, you and Kenny have to go. Carver's coming. He's going to bring you back to his camp. Just take your group and go!"
Clementine asked "How'd he catch you?"
Lilly looked at her boots and said "It was a year after I took the RV. I'd been on the road for a few weeks, salvaging what I could, from where I could, whenever I could. Until I came up to this building. I thought it was empty, but a group was in there. I'd tried to figure what Lee would do. I executed my plan and it went perfectly. Until a can of soup fell and gave me away. Carver shot me in the leg. I spent a month fighting off infection and trying to get away from his hunting parties. Until he caught me. I spent weeks on a bed because of how deep the infection was and because of two broken bones. I spent months hating him and myself. Myself because of how stupid I was. Then I did what Lee would do. Act like a good dog and wait for the right chance to put a blade in his leg. What about you? What happened? Tell me everything."
Clementine then began the same sad tale that she told Kenny, although she started from the moment Lilly left.
Shepard's POV
Shepard had been upstairs in the bathroom. She hadn't been feeling good and she dreaded what it could mean. She looked around the medicine cabinet before rushing to the toilet and vomiting. She looked over in the medicine cabinet, found a few pills, but saw something. She reached in and pulled out a small box. It said "Pregnancy Tests."
She looked up in the mirror and said "You cannot be serious."
She thought "What am I doing?" and read the instructions.
As she did, Shepard looked at the box and said "Oh God. Am I really considering this? Not that it's horrible, but it shouldn't be possible. Garrus and me are completely different species!"
Then again, that never stopped Asari.
As she read the instructions, she thought "What century am I in? What kind of test is this?" As she finished, Jane paced back and forth, thinking of what could happen. She noticed the time had finished, she raced to the sink and picked the stick up.
She had one thought going on through her head as she saw the lines. "Oh shit."
Clementine's POV
Lilly took in all of Clementine's story and she was nearing the end. "Then I saw my parents. They were walkers. Lee fainted and I dragged him inside a jewelry store. When he woke up, he told me he was bit. We tried to get to another exit, but he fell as he got weaker. I tried to get him on his feet, but he was already too weak. After an attack by a walker who was a security guard, which I took care of, he told me I could take care of myself. He told me to kill him. He didn't want to become a walker like his brother. He told me about a woman he met when him and Carley went to find Glenn. Then he told me to keep that hair short."
Lilly smiled at that and Clementine said "Shooting Lee was the hardest thing I've ever had to do."
Lilly nodded. Then they heard something.
They ran outside and saw the wind was making the turbine go faster and was making a loud humming noise.
Kenny and the others came out and he said "That thing's a fucking dinner bell! We have to shut it down."
When they left to get the weapons, Jane came down in a rush and ran towards it, and as Clementine was looking, her arm grew a red transparent blade, which she shoved right into the control panel, completely destroying it.
Clementine looked at her with awe. As the others came out, walkers came to spoil the moment. Carlos had Sarah stay near the lodge with a pistol, telling only to fire in self-defense or if someone needed help. Sarita and him then went to Shepard to cover her.
Shepard's POV:
Shepard grabbed the pistol Carlos gave her and unloaded it into the husks. When she ran out of rounds, she knew she was going to use her biotics. She raised her fist when her right arm guard opened and dropped a Paladin! She then remembered Garrus had insisted at the beginning of the war to give her emergency weapons. She smiled and said " Oh, this is going to be fun." She picked up the gun and started picking off the husks one by one. She smiled as she felt the familiar kickback of her personal weapon.
She saw Clementine get cornered by a group of husks. Rage filled her and she used a Biotic Charge to get close to Clem, but this one was different. Instead of purple energy, crimson red enveloped her. As she went by the husks, bolts of red hit several husks and they started burning. The one she hit didn't get knocked back, it was absorbed. When she got to Clementine, who's eyes were filled with terror, she turned towards the remaining husks and let loose all her energy into a Shockwave. It was purple, but instead of hitting all of the husks, it went into one. Shepard watched as the husk started vibrating and let loose a blood colored shockwave which took care of the ones around it.
She kneeled down to Clementine and said "Run to the lodge, Clem! I'm going to try to find Kenny and Luke! We have to get out of here!
Clementine's POV:
Clementine couldn't believe what she just saw. Jane had told her she could do things, but some of it was downright scary! She ran to Sarah and stopped as she saw Nick struggling with a walker. She raised her pistol and was about to shoot when a shot rang out and the walkers head exploded. She turned and saw Sarah with her gun raised looking rather proud of herself.
Clementine watched as Walter and Carlos were almost getting overrun. Just then a walker came from behind and tackled Clementine. It was about to bite her when Matthew grabbed it. He wrestled to keep it away him and as he was about to shove it off, bullets rang out from the woods and started taking down the walkers. Clementine watched in horror as Matthew was blown to pieces.
He collapsed and said "Clementine, run!"
She watched the light leave his eyes and she couldn't watch. Then, Clementine felt someone pick her up and start running. Lilly sprinted to the cabin with Clementine in her arms.
When they got inside, they watched with Rebecca, Alvin, and Sarah as the culprits of Matthew's death came forward. There was a couple of guys meant for back up, a young adult who seemed like someone who would beat his kids if they looked at him wrong, a redheaded woman who seemed like she was uncomfortable with what was happening, and Carver, the man she met back in the cabin.
They watched as Carver punched Carlos in the gut. When Sarah saw that, she ran out to protect her dad. Carver saw where she came from and moved the group in there under guard. Clementine followed the others stealthily up the stairs. Carver made the ones he captured into a kneeling position.
He called "Lilly! I know you're here. Good job leading me to these people, but you've gone and betrayed me! Now you have to go back into the yard! Now, Rebecca! I know you're here! I bet you have that girl with you too! Come out and no one will be harmed! Our child should be raised in complete safety."
Alvin raised his head at this and Rebecca bowed her head in shame. Carver waited as they hid upstairs.
Then he walked over to Carlos, grabbed his hands, and started breaking each finger, sometimes one or two knuckles. Alvin couldn't watch.
He tried to reason with Rebecca "Come on Bec. He's going to kill Carlos."
Rebecca shook her head and said "No. Bill isn't that stupid. Carlos is one of the only doctors."
Clementine shook her head and said "Carver doesn't care. He only wants you Rebecca. He'll kill us all just to get to you. We have to go down there."
Rebecca looked resentful before getting up and shouting "Bill! Stop!"
Shepard's POV:
Shepard had heard the gunfire and hid in the woods to find out what was going on. She saw the group get dragged in. She considered using a Stasis Field to immobilize them, but when she tried, it didn't work. She used what was left of her Omni-Tool to find out why and saw that most of her implants were fried or shut down. Without them, she couldn't use her biotics as much as she had in the past. It depended on how much energy she had and she felt exhausted. She saw a shadow head for one of the ski lift cars and she got low and followed it.
When she got there, she found Kenny with his rifle.
"Kenny."she whispered.
He looked to her and waved her over. He said to her quietly "They got the group in some sort of hostage-looking crap. They killed Matthew. Shot him to ribbons."
They watched as Carver broke Carlos's fingers. Kenny was about to shoot the bastard when Jane pulled his gun down.
She reasoned "No. If you miss or if you do hit him, he and the others might shoot the group."
Then Clementine and the others came down the stairs.
Carver walked up to Lilly and slapped her hard enough to leave a mark. Then he forced them in the same position as the others. Just then, a shot rang out and hit one of the backups. Jane looked at Kenny and saw he had taken the shot. Before she could say anything, Carver looked at Walter. Walter saw him glaring at him before Carver grabbed him and shoved him to the ground in front of the window.
Walter saw a picture of him and Matthew, raised his head and said "Go to hell you son of a-", but Carver interrupted by shooting him in the head.
Carver got behind a beam and said "That was for our man. Now either come out and surrender or I start shooting some more people."
Kenny then moved over to an ice rink to get a better shot. Jane followed him and watched as he took aim. Unfortunately, when he fired, the wind picked up and made his bullet hit a vase. Carver then walked over to Alvin and used him as a human shield.
Rebecca begged him to stop, but Carver just whispered to Alvin "Let's play a game. It's from one of my favorite movies. The game's called "Is There A God?"
Jane then watched as Clementine got up and sprinted to stop Carver. Before she could, he turned around and hit her with his pistol. He got this look in his eyes and grabbed her. He put the pistol flush to her head and waited.
Jane whispered "We have to," but Kenny was already walking up to the lodge with his hands up.
She followed his lead and together they went into the lodge. The redhead and high-school dropout went up to them and handcuffed them.
Carver smiled and said "Get them up. We're going home."
One by one the group was put on their feet and forced to follow him. Clementine was the last. She got up with Jane and walked with the tyrant into an uncertain road.
The End...
