What if Carver shot Clementine instead of Walter at the lodge? Prompt Submitted by Darkwubs on AO3
Requests On Hold
Everyone jumped when a window shattered and one of Carver's guys, Johnny, fell to the ground dead. Sarah stared in horror as Carver grabbed Clementine and hauled her over to a window, with her group yelling at Carver to let Clementine go, before he shoved her to her knees. The man pulled out his gun, placed the barrel close to Clementine's head and pulled the trigger. Clementine's head snapped to the side as she fell to the floor, with the bullet impacting a column on Clementine's left. Sarah let out an involuntary scream, as blood pooled around Clementine's head.
"That's for our man!" Yelled Carver, ducking behind a column, "Now, I didn't want to do this, but you ain't leavin' me much choice! So, here's what's gonna happen! I'm gonna march another one of your friends out here and I'm gonna put a bullet in the back of their head! Or you can give up now! Your choice."
A bullet impacted the column, making Carver growl, rolled his eyes and silently tutted, before he grabbed Alvin, "Hi, Alvin."
"You motherfucker." Cursed Alvin, glaring up at Carver.
"Alvin!" Yelled Carlos, as Carver walked Alvin towards the window.
"Bill, no!" Cried Rebecca, "Tell him to stop! Kenny, stop!"
"Do you remember George, Alvin?" Asked Carver, casually, "You see, I do. I remember a guy that was your friend named George. I remember when you murdered him in cold blood. And why? Because you didn't like me? You could've lodged a complaint. You could've... well, you could've been civil."
"Bill, no!" Screamed Rebecca, "We'll do whatever you want!"
"I love you, Bec." Said Alvin, as Carver put the gun to his head.
"Bill, please!" Screamed Rebecca, as Alvin looked down.
A groan made everyone freeze, before Clementine sluggishly got up, the girl turned around and looked up at Alvin, revealing a bloody mess that covered her right eye.
"Clementine?" Asked Alvin, as Clementine sluggishly looked around.
"My head hurts." Slurred Clementine, before trying to wander off. Alvin had shifted to the side, giving Kenny a clean shot at Carver. Carver fell to the floor, as the bullet pierced his shoulder. Clementine stumbled towards him and went to grab his gun, only for the man to get back up and grab her. A few moments later, Kenny stalked into the lodge, glaring at Carver.
S
Clementine spent most of the journey to Carver's camp in and out of consciousness, with Carlos making sure she was still alive. Kenny had spent the journey trying to come up with a plan to escape, while Walter tried to question the others on Carver. Clementine's right eye had swollen slightly, so they didn't know if Clementine's eye could be saved.
The truck stopping made them all go silent, before Troy appeared and ferried them into the community. Kenny heard some of the people gasp when they saw Clementine, before a man pushed his way to the front, "Troy, what the fuck did you do?"
"Vince—" Bonnie spoke up, as Vince glared at Troy.
Kenny noticed that Carver wasn't with them, as a woman joined them and started checking Clementine's eye.
"We kept telling Bill that Troy's dangerous," Spat Vince, "I guess we should consider her lucky that Troy's aim is—"
"Bill's the one that shot her." Interrupted Bonnie, "One of them killed Johnny and Bill—"
"Shot her?" Scoffed a boy, "She must've—"
"He shot her at point blank range." Said Walter, getting their attention, "He had us as prisoners and chose to shoot her."
The woman looked up from Clementine's face, "The swelling's too big for me to see properly. I'm going to check again in the morning."
With that, the group was guided towards a yard, where they talked to a guy in there and Alvin was carted off to Carver. Eventually, everyone went to sleep, with Clementine waking in the middle of the night wondering where the hell they were.
S
Clementine bit her bottom lip as the woman, Shel, prodded at her eye. Shel had a sister that was a couple years older than Clementine, who was watching as Carlos instructed Shel through the task.
"She's lucky," Said Shel, after a moment, "looks like the bullet skimmed across her skull."
"So, she'll probably have a concussion," Said Carlos, after a moment, "given the amount of force that was behind that bullet."
Shel nodded, before looking at Becca, "Becca, can you take her to the greenhouses?"
Becca rolled her eyes, by led Clementine to the greenhouse, scoffing when she saw Sarah, "Ugh, she's such a baby."
Clementine gave Becca a look, "What do you mean?"
"She's useless, all she does is whine and follow her dad around." Sneered Becca, "She's such a baby, I wish she'd stayed gone."
Clementine was giving the back of Becca's head a hard look, she was tempted to push Becca, but Carver's voice stopped her, "Now that isn't very nice, Becca."
Becca ducked her head, as Carver walked around them.
"Why don't you work in the greenhouse today," Ordered Carver, "I need to talk to Clementine."
Becca hurried into the greenhouse, leaving Clementine on the roof with Carver.
"I suppose you think me shooting you was something personal." Said Carver, as Clementine squinted up at him, "It wasn't, your friend killed one of my guys and—"
"—and that's something you can't let slide." Finished Clementine, "Negan said the same thing before beating someone's skull in."
Carver frowned at her, "How do you know that name?"
"I met him once." Responded Clementine, "He was a better people person."
Carver frowned and said, "Get in the greenhouse.", before walking away. Clementine followed his instruction and looked up at Reggie, who had her pruning a plant with Becca and Sarah.
S
Clementine had watched as Sarah was guided to the medical area and Becca was given a bucket of nails, before Bonnie took her to a room to fill up gun magazines. The woman made some small talk and gave her a jacket she'd taken from the Ski lodge. A woman called Tavia turned up and took Clementine to help Becca carry the nails. The trip took a turn for the unexpected when some Walkers got in and Clementine had to fight a couple off.
Clementine had then been called to Carver's office, passing Rebecca and spotting a bloody and unconscious Alvin. She'd then been taken back to the yard, where the rest of her group were having dinner. She heard from Kenny that Luke had flagged him down and they were working on getting him a radio, which Clementine found she'd been volunteered for. She managed to get a pair of radios, which they planned on getting one to Luke.
Halfway through the night, Becca and Shel were shoved into the Yard by Troy, waking everyone up.
"We didn't do anything!" Yelled Becca, as Shel cradled her face with blood running through her fingers.
"Bullshit." Sneered Troy, pulling the gate shut.
Becca screamed and banged on the gate, as Carlos sluggishly got up and guided Shel over to the fire.
"What's going on?" Asked Rebecca, looking over at Carlos.
"Bill…" Shel winced, "Bill's gotten paranoid. Someone took some food and medical supplies, and a pack of cigarettes. Since it happened on my watch, Becca and me got the blame."
"What'd he do?" Asked Mike, frowning.
"He beat her up." Scoffed Becca, giving them a suspicious look, "One of you must've taken it."
"When?" Asked Clementine, "While we were working? None of us know where any of that stuff is kept."
Shel let out a pained cough, now that she was in the light, her face was heavily bruised and one of her eyes was almost swollen shut. Clementine saw Shel flinch slightly every time Carlos moved. Rolling over, Clementine got herself comfortable and went back to sleep.
S
In the morning, everyone was directed to their tasks, a dark-skinned teen gave Shel and Becca a hate filled glare. Becca was assigned to the greenhouse with Sarah, while Clementine stowed one of the radios in her pocket. Shel was carted off by the teen, roughly jamming the barrel of his gun into her back.
After getting close to Kenny, Clementine slipped him the radio, before following Tavia to Bonnie. Clementine hoped that Kenny was able to get the radio to Luke, when Troy stormed in and roughly grabbed her arm and all but dragged her back to the yard.
Carver, evidently, discovered Luke and one of the missing radios. Before she could offer an excuse or explanation, Kenny took the radio from his pocket and claimed responsibility for taking it. Which led to Carver beating Kenny with the object, Clementine ran forward and got hit on the gash on her forehead by Troy. Through bloody vision, Clementine saw Shel trying to restrain Carver's arm, when the teen from the morning shot her in the head. The last thing Clementine heard before darkness claimed her was Becca screaming.
S
Groaning, Clementine sat up and looked around. Carlos was hunched over Kenny, while the others were talking around a fire by the walls. Shel's body hadn't been moved, the bullet had entered through her eye and exited out the back of her head. Becca was curled up by the fire, hugging her legs.
"What…" Clementine groaned, "What did I miss?"
"Bonnie's helping us escape." Said Nick, quietly, "Becca hasn't said anything since Shel got shot."
Clementine nodded, before reaching up and feeling the bandage over her forehead.
"Carlos had some to spare," Said Nick, "most were used on Kenny though."
The pair made their way over to the others, Sarita was crying and being comforted by Rebecca while Mike and Luke spoke to Bonnie through the door to the yard, before the woman left. Mike and Luke joined the others.
"What'd she say?" Asked Rebecca, comforting Sarita.
"She said she can get us out of the pen if we can get the PA system going." Said Mike, folding his arms and looking around them, "Second she hears it, she'll run over and spring us."
"That's great." Said Rebecca, as Clementine frowned.
"It's not great." Argued Luke, dropping to the ground.
"What're you talking about?" Asked Rebecca, as Becca looked at Luke.
"Look, I know part of this is my fault, I... I know." Winced Luke, "I was hungry, I got reckless tryin' to steal some food and I got caught..."
"Can we even trust Bonnie?" Asked Becca, sullenly.
"We got no reason not to trust her." Sighed Luke, as Clementine hesitantly put a hand on Becca's shoulder and gave her a wincing smile, "I mean, if she wanted us caught, we'd be caught. But tonight... tonight is risky."
"It is pretty damn risky, guys." Agreed Nick, as Walter shifted where he stood.
"Risky? Did you see what that son of a bitch just did?" Mike gestured towards Kenny, "Look, the plan works. Nothing needs to change. It's all set up. The hard part is done. This guy's fucking crazy. Who knows what he'll do next?"
"Yeah, but now we're dealin' with a guy beat to shit, Sarita in no shape to do anything, and I'm a goddamn mess." Luke looked around them, "Look, we should rest up, okay? We should bide our time, and we should wait for an opening."
"Bonnie's agreeing to help us tonight." Protested Mike, as Becca glared up at him.
"And that doesn't mean she can't do it some other night." Said Luke, looking at Mike.
"I don't know, guys. Luke's makin' sense." Nick glanced around, "Maybe we should wait."
"We're not waiting." Scoffed Rebecca, giving Luke a dark look.
"Bonnie's going to fall back in line with Carver." Scowled Becca, as Clementine looked towards the gate.
"Ain't nothin' out there, guys. Trust me, I looked." Said Luke, "There's no food, there's no supplies. They picked everything clean. I'm just sayin', we gotta be sensible about this."
"This is being sensible." Argued Mike.
Clementine tuned the others out, with Carlos joining them and relaying Kenny's condition to them, only snapping out of her thoughts when Luke said "Okay, look... maybe I'm just playin' devil's advocate here, but if... damn it, if y'all are serious about goin' tonight, then we're gonna have to start talkin' about maybe... leavin' some folks behind."
"No!" Snapped Sarita, as Walter glared at Luke.
"There is no other way." Argued Luke.
"This is bullshit." Scoffed Rebecca, crossing her arms.
"Well, I don't like it either, but guess what? It's where we're at." Snapped Luke, glaring at them.
"Kenny, Sarita and I are only here because of you people, and now you intend to leave us behind?!" Demanded Walter, "You killed Matthew and led Carver to us!"
"So we should risk all of our lives?" Asked Carlos, callously.
"What are you saying?" Seethed Rebecca, glaring at the doctor.
"Nothing. I'm..." Carlos backtracked, "I'm just thinking out loud here."
"We are not leaving him!" Snapped Sarita, glaring full force at Luke.
"No! We're not leaving Kenny!" Protested Clementine, "That's not fair! We stay together!"
"Life ain't fair, Clem." Said Luke, "We're just tryin' to make the best of a bad situation, here."
"You should be left behind." Said Becca, "You can barely walk and you want to stay."
"I know I'm a mess." Sighed Luke, "But, I'm walkin', Kenny ain't. No one wants to leave Kenny."
"Good, 'cause..." Kenny's voice reached them, "you won't have to."
S
Clementine and Becca were sent to turn the PA system on and, after Bonnie returned and spoke to Mike, get two people, Vince and Wyatt. Becca mentioned that they were part of the group she was with when she and Shel joined Carver's group. Along with the guy that killed Shel, Russell.
"Found them." Whispered Becca, as she and Clementine slowly climbed down, "Vince!"
The Asian man that Clementine saw talking to Tavia the other day looked up at them, "Becca!"
Giving the girl a quick hug, he checked her over, "Are you alright? I heard Shel had been shot."
"Russell shot her." Said Becca, before looking over at Clementine, "What are you doing?"
Clementine looked over from where she was stuffing bullets into her pockets, "…stocking up?"
"Those are rifle rounds," Said a man with glasses and a thick beard, "useless in pistols." He lifted a couple of bags up, "Besides, we got some supplies here. Bonnie heard that everywhere'd been picked clean."
Clementine slowly nodded, "I'm going to turn the PA on."
She quickly climbed up to the window and climbed out, with Becca joining her a moment later. They set the PA up and Clementine said her goodbyes to Alvin. They found Carver pointing a gun at the rest of their escaping group, with a guard and Russell with him. Thinking quickly, Clementine jumped and landed on guard's back, burying her teeth into the side of his neck. Following Clementine's example, Becca jumped on top of Russell, punching him in the head.
Hearing the two guys yelling made Carver turn around, giving Kenny the opportunity to shoot Carver's leg. Finally managing to throw Clementine off him, the guard went to shoot her, only for Kenny to nail him in the head. Russell fell to the floor, with Becca still punching his head. Vince grabbed Becca, while Wyatt grabbed Russell and dragged him outside with the others following after him.
Clementine looked up at Kenny, as the man grabbed a crowbar. Looking around, Clementine decided to stay with Kenny and Rebecca, she was vaguely aware of Becca being guided outside by Vince. Watching someone get their head bashed in wasn't something new to her, not after she and Christa stumbled across the Saviors, with Negan beating a guy's head in. Compared to Negan, Kenny was rather tame.
Joining the others outside, they took out a couple of Walkers and covered themselves in their guts.
"This is disgusting." Grumbled Becca, as they covered themselves.
Clementine noticed that Russell was covering himself as well, but her attention was drawn to Troy appearing and yelling at them. Jane offered for him to come with them, before shooting him in the dick.
Troy screaming drew the attention of the Walkers, allowing them to head off. Then they started getting shot at. Carlos was trying to keep Sarah calm, when a bullet went through Walter's neck and grazed his arm.
"We need to hurry." Urged Carlos, "Stay close to me Sarah."
Clementine silently watched as they were guided away, before she saw Russell. He was struggling with a Walker biting his wrist. Clementine noticed she wasn't the only one who was looking, before she moved forwards and brought her hatchet down on Russell's wrist. After a couple of blows, Russell's hand came off. He stared at his bloody stump and started screaming.
Russell's screams drew the attention of more Walkers, with Clementine quickly moving over to Becca and pushing her forwards. Soon, the two girls found themselves with Rebecca and Jane. After Jane 'disarmed' a Walker, they soon found themselves in the woods, away from the Walkers.
They ended up meeting with Luke, Carlos and Sarah, with news that Nick was shot in the shoulder.
"You and that Lee guy walked through a herd like that?" Asked Luke, breathing heavily.
"No, it was bigger." Answered Clementine, "This one didn't have my parents in it though."
"Jesus." Swore Luke, glancing around at their small group, "When'd you lose 'em?"
"At the start." Shrugged Clementine, "I didn't find out until three months in, though. Found out a week after my birthday."
"How old were you?" Asked Luke.
"Nine." Answered Clementine, "I found them the same day Lee died."
Despite the pain she was in, Rebecca cleared her throat and gave Luke a pointed look. Wincing, Luke looked away. They'd walked, or in some cases limped, for nearly an hour, before Clementine spoke, "Are we there yet?"
"No, still got some more walkin' to do." Answered Luke, as Rebecca let out a groan, "We're close though."
Clementine let out what sounded like a profanity ladened grumble, but kept walking.
S
They found the others at Parker's Run, with Sarita checking Nick's shoulder. Vince was the first to notice them, with Kenny spotting Clementine and rushing over, "Clem! You alright?"
Clementine nodded, "Walter's dead, and that Russell guy got bit. I cut his hand off, but he got swarmed by Walkers."
"Yeah, Nick's in rough shape." Sighed Kenny, before spotting Carlos helping Rebecca, "We've done a couple of checks, we ain't found any Walkers."
"There's a gift shop near here," Said Luke, "if we can get it open, it might be a safe place for us to hunker down."
Kenny nodded, "Right, anyone know how to pick a lock?"
"I'll do it," Said Jane, before glancing at the girls, "I'll take them with me, keep an eye out while I work."
S
After leaving Jane and Luke, after Jane and the girls encountered a stranger called Arvo and Jane tried to rob him. Clementine had remembered the last time she stole from someone, she didn't want to get more people killed, like last time. Sarah had gone and helped Carlos and Sarita with Rebecca, while Clementine went down to Bonnie and Mike, and Becca found herself on watch with Kenny, Nick, Vince and Wyatt.
A little while later, Clementine, Bonnie and Mike came back with some big bottles of water and a thick coat. Noticing the Walkers that were being attracted by Rebecca's screams, the group fell back to the gift shop, Nick stumbled and ended up wrestling with a Walker before he managed to get away. They arrived and found Luke and Jane having sex, but they decided to focus on getting everyone onto the balcony, making sure to lock the gate to prevent the Walkers from following them. Clementine winced as Kenny started giving Luke and Jane the third degree, while Vince and Wyatt worked on getting a fire going. Carlos and Sarita managed to get Rebecca's baby born with little complications. Rebecca looked tired, and looked like she was going to fall asleep.
"Here." A portion of food was presented to Clementine, "You must be hungry."
Clementine nodded, taking the food from Kenny, "Mike wanted to eat a raccoon we saw down at the museum."
"Can't say I blame him." Chuckled Kenny, looking around the group they were in, "We're gonna have to move on soon. This place is too exposed, there's nothing to hunt and we don't have the supplies to last the winter."
"There's a town across the lake," Said Clementine, "maybe we can find a house and stay there until it's safer for the baby to travel."
"Does give us a problem for moving to Wellington." Remarked Kenny, looking down at Clementine, "Clearing a house or something might give us somewhere safe and warm to sleep, until we can decide what we're gonna do."
Kenny let out a sigh, "Get some sleep, Clem. We'll work on it in the morning."
S
They'd started walking towards the town, the group, except Clementine, Luke and Kenny, found out that Jane had left in the night. Nick looked sick, but Carlos was more concerned about Rebecca and her baby, while Sarita kept an eye on Kenny. Bonnie volunteered to check Clementine's forehead, reminding the girl that she had a massive gash from the bullet that skimmed across her skull.
They ended up running into the guy from the day before, along with his group, which was dwarfed compared to theirs. They'd asked about Jane, before Nick gave a violent cough, and sat down. Clementine ignored the 'discussion' instead focussing on Nick, seeing him slump forwards a bit. Frowning, only slightly because it made her forehead hurt, Clementine watched at Nick twitched. Now that she thought about it, Nick looked like Duck and Lee did when they…were…
"Fuck!" Clementine raised her gun and shot the Walker in the head.
Chaos erupted, everyone made a dash for cover, Luke got shot in the leg, Wyatt got hit to the arm, Kenny, Vince and Mike were exchanging fire with the Russian group, Sarah ended up tackling Clementine behind a rock, with the pair finding themselves between a dead Nick and a shrieking baby.
"Ugh, why is he so loud?!" Groaned Sarah, as Clementine grabbed him and pulled him out of the line of fire, just as Becca hit the group bleeding from her ear.
"Son of a bitch!" Becca held her bleeding ear, before Sarah grabbed her collar and pulled her over to them, depositing her on top of Nick, "Ew!"
Clementine winced, before looking at Nick and spotting that his shirt had ridden up. After a moment, Clementine lifted the shirt up further and found a bite mark, "…Shit."
The gunfire stopped, soon a shadow was over them, and the baby was roughly taken from Clementine.
"Careful!" Snapped Carlos, taking the baby from Luke, "Clementine, what happened?"
Clementine pointed at the bite on Nick's side, "He got bit."
"Fuck." Swore Mike, as Clementine slowly got up, "It must've happened yesterday."
"How?" Demanded Luke, "Why was he so close to a buncha Lurkers?"
The group stared at him, before Becca, through her pain, said, "When two people who barely know each other get freaky—"
"It happened because you and Jane were rolling in the hay, like a pair of fucking teenagers." Scoffed Kenny, as Wyatt and Vince secured the only surviving Russian.
Clementine looked past them and saw one of the Russians, a woman, reanimating. The survivor, Arvo, noticed and started calling to her, before realising she was a Walker. Arvo started to uncontrollably sob, as Clementine put the Walker down.
S
They ended up walking to a power station, where they camped for the night. Clementine ended up having some rum and letting slip that Nick gave her some moonshine, which went over well with Kenny. Arvo had been reclusive, so they hadn't worried about him. Luke mentioned that it was his birthday, or his birthweek, he said he wasn't sure.
Clementine wasn't sure who started the fire, but she was grateful for some warmth. Rebecca named the baby, taking Kenny's suggestion on board, after his father. They'd already started calling him AJ, Becca and Sarah declined the offer to hold him, Becca because AJ threw up on her and Sarah because AJ peed. Keeping him clean, warm and happy was harder than any would've liked, but Wyatt had packed diapers.
"Everybody better enjoy the peace while it lasts," Said Kenny, gruffly wincing as Carlos and Sarita checked their injuries, "He'll be screaming his head off in a few weeks."
"But he's always sleeping." Said Sarah frowning.
Clementine found herself starting to laugh, "Christa said they do that, after the first few weeks they'll be needy."
"Christa have experience with children?" Asked Bonnie, looking at Clementine.
Clementine's mind went back to Christa giving birth, Kenlee lived for a few hours, before the cold took her. Clementine burnt anything she could find to keep the baby warm, especially since Christa had passed out. She'd woken up to Clementine wrapping Kenlee up in her hoodie, before taking over trying to keep the baby warm, sending Clementine off to grab anything they could burn.
But, nothing changed. Kenlee died, and part of Christa died with her. The woman started teaching Clementine how to hunt, cook, treat injuries, everything she needed to survive.
"She… she had a baby." Answered Clementine, looking down, "A girl, Kenlee. She… she died a few hours after…"
"Christ." Swore Kenny, before running a hand down his face, "What happened?"
"Christa put her down." Said Clementine, "We moved on, ran into a guy who was with the Saviors and had a run in with Negan. We managed to get away, but we got ambushed by some bandits and got separated."
The group stared at her, before Kenny awkwardly cleared his throat, "Let's get some sleep, we got a long journey tomorrow."
S
"I think some Walker's heard that gunshot." Said Wyatt, as they walked on the frozen lake. It'd been decided that Kenny and Luke would go with Arvo. Carlos and Sarita walked with Vince and Mike, while Becca, Sarah and Clementine walked with Rebecca and AJ, with Bonnie, Wyatt and Jane bringing up the rear.
Clementine looked back and spotted some cracks, "Guys—"
The ice broke and Bonnie and Wyatt fell through. The hole caused more cracks to spread across the lake, looking around, Clementine realised that one of the cracks went under her, while Becca, Sarah, Rebecca and AJ managed to get to the other side. The next thing Clementine knew everything was cold, she saw Walkers reaching up to her. She couldn't breathe, then a hand grabbed her jacket and she was hauled out of the water. Clementine coughed, as Jane hastily made her way to house, where Luke had managed to get a fire going.
Everything for Clementine was a cold, loud, blur. Sarita and Rebecca turfed all the guys out of the room, while Jane pulled some dry clothes out of one of the bags Vince and Wyatt had taken from Howe's. Clementine was so cold, that she didn't notice them undressing and redressing her, she thought she heard Sarita say something about a period, but she ignored it. Soon afterwards, everything went dark.
Sarita carefully shifted Clementine so she was close to the fire, before looking over at Rebecca and AJ. Jane was wringing Clementine's wet clothes out, so they could be dried, while Bonnie took Sarah and Becca outside. Everyone soon came inside, with Kenny and Luke keeping an eye on Clementine.
"I can't believe Bonnie and Wyatt are gone." Said Vince, looking around, "What happened?"
"The ice broke." Answered Jane, "Clementine fell through a crack that ran underneath her."
"I'm gonna work on the truck outside," Said Kenny, "but someone might want to check the town for any other working vehicles."
"I'll take Mike and the kid," Said Vince, "we'll look for an RV or a people mover."
Kenny nodded, waving a hand, before heading outside to work on the truck.
S
Clementine woke up confused, she'd seen Lee in the RV after Lilly killed Carley, so finding herself in a house wasn't something she was expecting, then she spotted Luke and Jane by a window, Rebecca and AJ were closer to her, while Carlos quietly spoke with Sarah and Sarita was talking with Becca.
"Where—" Clementine winced at how raspy her voice sounded, "where are the others?"
Rebecca handed Clementine a bottle of water, "Kenny's working on a truck outside and Vince had taken Mike and Arvo into town on a supply run."
Clementine nodded, before looking at the clothes and frowned, "Did someone undress me?"
"We had to get you out of your wet clothes," Said Sarita, getting up, "I'm going to let Kenny know that you're awake."
Clementine nodded, looking around, before Kenny rushed in with Vince.
"We managed to find an RV." Said Vince, panting slightly, "Mike and Arvo were got by Walkers."
"And I got the truck running," Informed Kenny, "Now, we just have to decide what to do."
"We could go back to Howe's and raid whatever supplies they've left behind." Suggested Vince, "If we're going to be moving on, we're going to need a lot of supplies."
"And it would be the best place to get formula." Said Jane, before looking at Rebecca, who was feeding AJ, "You know, for when Rebecca's asleep."
Kenny didn't look happy, but agreed with them. They agreed to leave first thing in the morning.
S
"That's the last of it." Said Becca, as they finished loading into Kenny's truck.
"Hey, Kenny?" Asked Clementine, making the man look up.
"Yeah, Clem?"
"What are we going to do if Wellington doesn't let us in?"
The group froze, while Kenny frowned, "We'll… we'll move on, keep travelling, until we find a place."
S
The group had all piled into the vehicles and started driving for Wellington. As Kenny said, they kept moving when they were refused entry, eventually running into a small family, Randy, Patricia and their son, Gill. Javi, a former baseball player, his sister-in-law, Kate, and her two step-children, Gabe and Mariana, before the travelling group stumbled upon a boarding school with kids surviving in it.
Their group grew as it was travelling, with Luke and Jane having a little girl, Jamie, and Kenny and Sarita having twins, Lee and Maddie. The boarding school's nurse, Clarissa Martin, welcomed them, especially when she met Carlos.
