A/N: Thanks for the continued support from all, so I'll get to a few of your reviews!

Obsessed naruhina fangirl: Thanks for the continuing support and all I'm glad agree on that point and as for the TV series that's only the beginning of the stupidity, don't get my started on Carl Neverinthehouse... or Lori moaningateverything grimes. ugh. Anyway I do have another discussion point.

Personally I feel the game is better because it kills off fan favourites such as Carley and Lee and although people wished for different I felt like these deaths were needed to create a well rounded story while developing existing characters. Whereas (say the TV show) seems afraid to kill of such characters. In fact the majority of the main characters have seemingly breezed through 4 series without losing a single limb (one guy did, but he died later on anyway) what would your opinion on this be? I'm not for slaughtering everyone but a few major deaths are needed (and that's what I felt season 1 did brilliantly, Lee died, but Clem, Christa, Omid, Molly and Kenny survived)

XXXWOLFLOVERXXX- Thanks for the review! It would be dark for Clem to murder 11 people... but then again this whole story is dark and the point you made about Carver not being as powerful as he thinks by having just Clem kill the 11 was pretty clever. Anyway I'm glad you find my Kenny cool.

Rebloxic- Overall I'd give the episode a 6 as well. It wasn't downright awful it was just a disappointment when compared to the rest of the episodes. Rebecca's death was something I saw coming, especially seeing her stumble in the snow, Sarah's death in the trailer park was hard to watch but at least it made sense to the story, whereas her second death was the second most sloppily written death in the whole series. Of course Nick's is at number one don't even get me started on it...

Apathy- Thanks, I'm really making Carver despicable aren't I? Personally I hate his guts but I cannot deny his smart and a smart scheming villain is always the best.

Night-Chan-DragonEyes- Thanks for the review, I loving that you like Wyatt and Eddie and that the humour is coming through, it would be much a much more boring story to write without the occasional humorous comment and yep Clem wears the pants in this group!

and finally AquaDestinysEmbrace thank you all always!

Of course Carver had to make them wait the rest of the night to mull over their decision.

After he showed them the lone prisoner, he told them coldly "Think about it folks, tomorrow morning you'll each get to execute one rebel in front of the rest of the community" he said it as if it were a great event they should have all be anticipating.

That is what only made Clementine's stomach swirl as she felt bile fall and rise in her throat as she twisted and turned in her excuse of a bed. Trying hard to get whatever sort of sleep she could. Her eyes were closed but she couldn't have been more awake that night as she mulled over what Carver was forcing them to do.

She had never (directly and with intent) killed anyone innocent before. The bandit in the woods and The stranger were bad people, Clementine felt no guilt at their deaths, as she had to keep moving forward... but she had gotten Lee killed as well as Omid. They were innocent people and people she had grown very close too. Their deaths and her self loathing of herself after these deaths kept her awake at night for months afterwards. She'd used to cry herself to sleep on some gloomy nights...

But for now she was surrounded by friends. She wasn't alone. This was one thought that made her ensure that she would do it. That she would indeed execute an innocent man or woman to ensure that her group of friends remained safe. Still Clementine wondered how she would kill those prisoners? Firing squad? It seemed most likely but she could pull the trigger, if she could pull the trigger on Lee then she could pull the trigger on anyone.

She knew she wasn't alone as she lay awake, everyone else was breathing deeply and the pen was in silence but Clementine noticed that no was snoring (other than Luke who was still out of it) Kenny was the one who told a waiting Rebecca on what the deal was as well as it's consequences. She didn't gasp in surprise upon learning what they were forced to do. Instead she simply glared at her blanket.

"That sick bastard, that sick, sick bastard" was all she muttered her body shaking in rage.

She didn't say much after that other than encourage the others that "They had to do it, all we'll all die" but her words of encouragement meant nothing, she could offer her sympathies but she wouldn't be the one killing those people that morning. Clementine knew that right now she would be able to handle it better than other people. Clementine wondered how everyone would take it.

The night seemed to pass far too quickly, Clementine didn't know whether she actually managed to catch sleep or night, all she knew is that she heard someone grunt and rise off their bed, then... two people were conversing in low quiet tones that barely reached Clementine's eardrums. This conversing was followed by a weirder sound, getting up herself and rubbing her baggy eyes she proceeded to walk over the source of the noise.

Kenny and Sarita were crouched behind his bunk. No doubt trying to avoid prying eyes as they were wrapped around each other, kissing each other deeply as Kenny's arm worked their way downwards before his open eye trailed upwards to find Clementine gazing at them in an embarrassed manner.

"Clementine!" He yelled, as he and Sarita sprung apart both crimson at the cheeks as they looked back at her "It's... we were just..." Kenny began awkwardly as Clementine couldn't help but smile. No doubt they'd barely gotten a minute alone together and he could hardly blame them with what they were about to face. No doubt it was just a kiss as they weren't peeling each other's clothes on or off. Considering that she felt bad about interrupting them.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean too..." she apologised as Kenny shook his head "Nah, it's all right Clem, me and Sarita were just discussing the past" he said as Clementine's salt lick comment rose back in her mind as she (again) felt terrible.

"About the salt lick Kenny, I shouldn't have..." she began.

"No, it okay I've cleared the air with Sarita, I've been telling her a bit about what went on in our old group" He informed Clementine as Sarita sighed.

"I almost envy you, you went through a lot of bad things, but at least you're prepared for what is coming..." she then choked back a sob "Kenny... I can't" she gasped as Kenny pulled her closer to him.

"You-have-too-Sarita" Kenny told her slowly and gently as she shook with sobs.

"Back when this all started" Sarita began, speaking to the floor rather than either Kenny or Clementine as she stared at it, her eyes reflective "I watched my family die around me and then for the next year I survived by wondering alone. I don't know how... I just stayed far away from people and groups in general. I never had to make hard decisions... and then I met you" she said looking up at Kenny with bright eyes.

"How long did it take for you two...?" Clementine began to ask.

"It must have been about six months, Kenny here was so stubborn and so hard to get to know that at first we simply agreed to watch it other's backs. I'd avoided groups but yet... despite your foot long beard and capability to snap at me every couple of seconds. I... knew there was something about you that was good" she smiled up at him, as he beamed back. Clementine felt like she was rearing her ugly head into a very romantic moment between the pair of them. She didn't intervene as Sarita continued...

"We been through a whole year together and you've protected me so much Kenny... I know I have too...but this is not going to be easy for me" she said sadly as Kenny wrapped his large palm around Sarita's smaller one and gave a comforting squeeze "I'll be here Sarita" was all he said which seemed to fill her with confidence...

And then the moment was gone as others started stretching and waking, Clementine left Sarita and Kenny as she went to go talk to Wyatt and Eddie (she liked these two dorks) yet as she walked towards them she couldn't help but wonder about her old drawing of Kenny's family. From what Clementine had seen he didn't have a picture to remember them by, she wondered if her drawing was still in her trouser pocket. However considering it wasn't with Carver she figured it must have fallen out long ago. Either in the river or in the forest...

"...if he makes us pull their guts out I swear I'll pull his guts out at the chance I get..."

"Dude you're being a fucking Idiot, he'll make us shoot them" Wyatt told a wide eyed Eddie in a bored tone, as Clementine fell into Wyatt's shadow Eddie waved at her "Oh hey Clem" he boomed cheerfully as Wyatt turned to face her.

"Were just discussing how Bill's gonna make us kill these guys" Wyatt informed her.

"Firing squad I'm betting" Clementine responded.

"Told you so" Wyatt teased a angry faced Eddie.

"Yeah, but think about it Bill always makes thing more fucked up than they already are, so I doubt his just going to a simple pull of a trigger" Eddie theorized to them, Clementine hoped that he was wrong about this, but something told her that Eddie may have actually had a point.

"Dude your sprouting bullshit again" Wyatt began in a pained prolonging of the last words, yet Eddie turned to him determined.

"I bet you it's something different! I bet Clem's hat on it!" Eddie challenged.

"Why my hat?"

"Because your hat's awesome and I want it" Eddie said seriously.

"Fine, if it's a firing squad then Clem gets to keep her cap, if not you get to wear it for a day" Wyatt said setting the terms for the deal in which they shook on. Clementine was fine with Eddie only being able to wear her cap for a day... besides she trusted him as... stupid as he could be and in many ways he reminded her of Omid...

Omid...

"I can't believe y'all making a game outta this" Bonnie said lightly walking off as Wyatt shrugged his shoulders.

"Well there's not much else you can do. Other than linger on what we have to do which would drive me insane" Wyatt informed her as she laughed lightly, but this laugh was cut short as the shutter clanked open and in the background Clementine heard Carver's gravelly tone through the PA system "Everyone! Proceed towards the expansion immediately!" he ordered of his community members as they slowly did so.

Troy and Tavia followed by the rat faced Stan with his nasally voice and habit of glaring at people. The three of them trained their rifles on the group as they all stood up slowly as Stan barked "Well come on then! Get to the roof! The lot of ya!"

"His Troy 2.0" Clementine thought as she trailed next to Bonnie at the rear of the group as they set off towards their dreaded destination, as they did Clementine wanted to break the uncomfortable silence that lingered over the group as she turned to a troubled looking Bonnie.

"Hey, are you okay?" she asked the redhead who shook her head.

"I killed someone innocent before... it was an accident but..." she began as Clementine's eyes widened at this new information she was receiving, seeing her look of shock Bonnie sighed and muttered "I was... well... in a spot of bother before all this... this elderly couple found me and saved me. Then... one time the wife found some supplies, she took them from a group. They chased us down and we got separated... in the dark and the panic someone came up to me, I struck them with a bar and killed them... only then I realised it was the wife herself. She... hated me and in her last words she still hated me..." Bonnie inhaled deeply as she rubbed her eyes.

"But I lived through that Clem and I know I can live through this. I'm just worried about Stephanie" She said gazing at the younger woman as Clementine's head whipped around to her where she was gazing silently at the floor.

"Sarita has Kenny, Vince... y'all know Vince killed someone before all this?" She asked.

"He told me he did something" Clementine said hardly disturbed by this news, so what if Vince was a murderer? So was Lee, in fact so was nearly everybody now.

"Anyhow I know Vince will be okay, Shel's tougher than she looks, so she'll be okay. Nothing seems to get Wyatt and Eddie down and you and Kenny are as tough as nails so y'all be fine and Jane and Mike are macho... but Stephanie... she's just a girl. Heck 19 or 20... she hasn't said a word since yesterday I'm worried about her" Bonnie told Clementine gently as they ascended the steps as Clementine peered forward at the young raven haired woman.

"She'll be okay, she has to be she was willing to get the meds for the group so she'll do this" Clementine assured Bonnie.

"I know she will, I'm just worried about the damage it will do to her" Bonnie muttered as the roof door was kicked open, and Tavia rounded them to the side. To Clementine's horror she saw 11 unmasked prisoners who were struggling with their mouths still bound and their feet and hands restrained. Clementine could see they were placed in a line at the edge of the roof with nooses around their necks... Carver was pacing up and down as he addressed the community who were gathered below him.

"... IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED! REBELS! TODAY YOU WILL SEE THEM JOIN THEIR COMRADE!" It was only then than Clementine realised that Anna (the woman who committed suicide) was still at the end of her noose, yet of now she had turned as her walker snarled from where she was hung against the wall.

"...HOPEFULLY THE 12 THAT HANG FROM THESE WALLS SET AN EXAMPLE TO WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE WHO DON'T FOLLOW THE RIGHT PATH...!" Carver was bellowing across the morning air to the rest of the community, Clementine couldn't see their expressions from here but no one was speaking up.

"OUR INMATES IN THE PEN VALUED THEIR PROPERTY OVER YOUR FRIENDS LIVES! BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOUR FRIENDS WERE SCUM! YOU WON'T CLASS THESE FOLK "FRIENDS" ANYMORE! THEY ARE A DISGRACE AND FOR ANY OF YOU STILL BELIEVING THAT THE PEOPLE IN THE PEN ARE CAPABLE OF STARTING A REBELLION THEY ARE GOING TO PROVE TODAY WHY THEY ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH! BY DOING THEIR JOBS AND PROVING THEY ARE HERE TO KEEP THIS COMMUNITY INTACT!" A red faced Carver then whipped around to pen dwellers.

"Mike, you first!" He ordered as the muscled man walked forward and looked at the man in front of him at the start of the row of 11.

"Just kick him off, it's easy" Carver told him as (a last cruel twist) Troy ripped the tape from the man's mouth in front of Mike so he could yell in fear "OH GOD! PLEASE NO...!" He was screaming as Carver shouted "PETER! REBEL! YOUR SENTENCE IS DEATH!" He ordered as Mike looked forward his teeth clenching, and then closing his eyes, he kicked the man in back. The screaming man fell from Clementine line of vision, yet he still screamed that was until there was a crack and a few gasps from below...

"JANE YOU'RE NEXT!" Carver ordered as Mike returned to the group rather pale, as Sarita muttered "Oh God..."

Jane glared at a younger woman (who when tape from her mouth was removed,screamed hysterically blocking out Carver's shouts of "JILL! REBEL! YOUR SENTENCE IS DEATH!") Carver barely finished the sentence before Jane coldly and almost instantly kicked the screaming woman from the roof, her screams died with a sickening crack. Jane was already returning to the group, no regret on her face. "It had to be done" she told the group who were looking at her in shock. Because even to Clementine that was cold...

It went on... and on... Kenny was next who shoved a young man who remained silent right to very end to his death, he returned to the group rubbing his forehead. Bonnie was next, she also had a silent elder man who refused to scream in his final moments, Bonnie was apprehensive and with a look of regret shining on her face she kicked him down to his death, the crack of his neck made her flinch...

Eddie and Wyatt followed, Eddie had a hard faced woman who also didn't scream which made it easier for him. But Wyatt had an older woman who pleaded for Mercy "DEAR GOD! PLEASE NO! SPARE ME!" She squealed to a sweating Wyatt who muttered "I'm sorry but..." her screams cut off his sentence as she thrashed wildly in panic. Wyatt himself clenched his eyes shut and pushed her too her death, "Dear God... fuck..." he muttered tearing up as he returned to the group.

Vince was next who quickly killed the man who bellowed at him for Mercy, yet Vince looked regretful. Shel was next and dealt with a whimpering younger man who she managed to kill with a straight face, she returned to the group glaring coldly at Carver. With this done the only three that remained to kill their prisoners were Stephanie, Clementine and Sarita.

"Stephanie!" Carver roared as she younger woman inhaled deeply and approached the squealing teenager who she had to execute, Clementine watched Stephanie closely, as she remained a calm composure, closing her eyes she kicked the young woman to her death. The crack made her flinch as she closed her eyes and started breathing in deeply as she re-reached the group, Shel held her, trying to comfort her.

"CLEMENTINE!" Carver yelled as she was pulled out of her stupor, he gut twisting she proceeded towards the edge of the roof with a sense of vertigo she looked down to see the hard faces of many glaring up at her. Yet their silence was more unnerving as Troy ripped the tape from the man's mouth in front of her.

"JACKSON! REBEL! YOUR SENTENCE IS DEATH!" Carver roared as Clementine saw the man's face, he was a middle aged black man who was breathing deeply, yet too her relief he wasn't screaming. However he was mumbling under his breath the names of people he loved who were no doubt long gone. His eyes were closed so Clementine didn't have to gaze into them as she killed him. Without wasting any more time she lifted her leg... and kicked...

The man tumbled over the edge and dreaded crack made her shiver somewhat as he lifeless form hung from the rope. Clementine inhaled, it was over. She had done it. It was scary somewhat but she had managed it. She turned back towards the group maintaining a straight face, seeing them all alive was the only thing that kept the heavy feeling in her gut from growing to heavy for her to handle as she thought about the man... Jackson... that she had killed today.

"AND FINALLY SARITA!" Carver shouted as Sarita walked towards a young woman nervously as soon as Troy removed the bonds she screamed to the high heavens above.

"NO! PLEASE NO! SPARE ME! PLEASSSSE!" She squealed to Sarita who visibly stumbled back a few steps, placing a hand over her mouth as the tears slowly fell from her eyes.

Carver finished his sentence as he looked at a hesitant Sarita, she turned to Kenny with a sad look on her face "I can't Kenny" she sobbed.

"SARITA! PLEASE!" He begged of her, as the scene grew more intense as Carver trained his gun on the Indian woman "You have 5 seconds or else missy" He growled at her as the woman continued to scream for mercy. Clementine couldn't breathe, Sarita wasn't moving... Carver was going to kill her...

And then with a scream Sarita charged forward and kicked the woman in the back as she tumbled over the edge, the horrid crack is what made Sarita dissolve into tears on the floor as Kenny rushed to her side almost instantly muttering "It's alright, It's alright" he said holding her in his arms as she wept her heart out onto his chest.

"YOU SEE!? THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS TO REBELS...!" Carver was stating, but Clementine wasn't listening instead she felt her cap get lifted from her head as she looked up to see Eddie wearing it with a devilish grin on his face. Even after all of this, Eddie could still interject some sense of humour into the situation that she so desperately needed. Other than him however everyone else was in tears, on the verge of tears, muttering to themselves, trying to calm themselves or remained a mastered pokerface... this had been tough indeed.

When Carver finished his speech and the group disbanded, and Clementine and the others were sent back to work, now she was no doubt despised by the community.

But her friends were still alive. That's what would keep her going. And keep her planning. It wasn't over.

Nick didn't like sleeping out in the open, but as of today they were completely lost and had no where else to camp. Laying down he spent half the evening trying to teach Sarah to climb a tree, he eventually lifted her to a low hanging branch as he slept next to her, being up high would offer them some shelter from walkers. Yet to their surprise no walkers came, not even bandits who Nick was expecting too come across. No the wood around them remained silent.

Unbeknownst to them, while Clementine and co were executing prisoners they were helping themselves to a silent breakfast of more beans.

"How'd you sleep?" Sarah asked of Nick that morning.

"Surprisingly well, considering we slept in a tree" Nick grunted, which was true for once he hadn't been haunted with nightmares about Pete, or Carlos or whoever... he had (in this quiet wood) slept soundly.

"I did too. Let's hope we can get somewhere comfortable soon because I got lot loads of leaves into my hair" she muttered absently mindedly rubbing a few chunks of brownish leaves from her knotty hair. Watching her Nick couldn't help but smile, she had a likeable aura about her.

They proceeded forward silently wary of walkers and bandits as they walked through the golden morning, as the sounds of wildlife pressed against their eardrums.

"Do you reckon the others are okay?" Sarah asked in the middle of the silence.

"Yeah, I reckon their fine, If we are, they have to be" Nick reassured her, they were fine no doubt, Nick knew it, he could imagine them slaving away for Carver right now but they were pulling through no doubt.

Oh if only he knew how wrong he was.

As they proceeded forwards they finally came across a clearing, stepping ahead Nick could see a trailer park.

"C'mon we might find something in there" he told Sarah who trailed after him faithfully.

Onwards they travelled.
