 Tadaa~ here is chapter 3! thank you to all the people who have followed  or left a comment! it inspires me to continue uploading chapters after I edit them. In this chapter here won't be any Cluke, there will be small bonding moment between Clem and Sarah at the green house, Aslo you will hear a few lines from Kenny. DX keep in mind Reggie is already dead. I hope you all enjoy!

Clementine hummed to herself, as she began to focus on working, slipping into her own world, and when

she finished she placed the clippers down satisfied with her work she nodded in approval  turning her head over to find Sarah wasn't  quite finished. she hurried over to her "need some help? I don't want us to get in trouble. Especially after what happened yesterday." Clementine offered, and Sarah turned her head looing up at Clementine's face she smiled, softly nodding her head

"yes Clementine.. thank you." she said almost in a whisper. she didn't forget what happened up on the roof, and she didn't want to remember it either. she was afraid to would screw everything up. If Carver got mad over berries not being picked, she wondered how mad he would get if she messed up and somehow destroy the tree.

"you wan't to know the trick to doing this real fast like I did?" Clementine asked, as a large devious smile

formed on her lips. This got Sarah's full attention.

 "yes Clementine, teach me" Sarah responded politely.

 "you can save time if you pick all the berries that you are able to reach, and then snippity snip snip these leaves and bam you will be done and free as a bird, and you won't have to worry about Carver karate kicking you into space!" Clementine joked. Sarah's started to giggle at Clementine's joke

"wow! I never thought about that, you're so smart Clementine!" she praised, and Clementine shook

her head

 "I wouldn't say smart... I just like to save time. Here is what we will do, I will clip the branches on

this one while you pick all the berries, and then we switch plants and do the same thing, and bam we will be done with time to spare. Deal?"

"Deal!" Sarah cheered and began to work. humming happily.  Once they finished picking their berries they cleaned up the area and put all of the berries into one bowl and all of the scraps of leaves into a other bowl. Carver opened the door, and watched the two girls nodding in approval as he crossed his arms

"wonderful job girls, and look you even cleaned up the mess, I must admit, i am impressed you can both head back to the pen." Carver said and walked over to his bowl of berries picking up a handful dropping some into his mouth.  Clementine nodded and walked with Sarah out of the green house back down to the main floor, she began to think about Luke and stopped by the staircase "Look Sarah, Sarita is in the pin she must be done with her work, make sure you go directly to her okay, I need to go take care of something." Clementine commanded and hugged Sarah .

"what if people ask for you?" she returned Clementine's hug tilting her head sideways.

"just tell them i went to the bathroom or back up to the greenhouse, because I forgot something." Clementine really didn't have a good excuse for Sarah, but Sarah nodded heading inside, and Clementine checked the area before taking off to go meet up with Luke. As clementine began to walk toward the door Troy saw her

 "Hey where the fuck do you think you're

going!?" he shouted angrily and walked toward her

 "crap." Clementine mumbled under her breath quickly

thinking of something to say. She felt like a child being caught with their hand in the cookie jar.  "I was-" Troy cut her off

"I swear its dumb little shits like you who always meet the back of my hand, i'm sure once you finished your job Bill told you to go back to the pen, right?!" before clementine could respond to him he cocked his hand back and hit her hard across the cheek. she held in the urge to cry out in pain by biting down on her lip. Troy's hits hurt, but she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry like a little baby, she clenched her fist and looked Troy in the eyes "Troy I was going to see if Kenny and Mike needed help.. y'know the faster they finish the faster you can be off your shift." she hoped he wouldn't strike her again, but surprisingly he stared at her giving her a blank look and finally spoke

 "Alright, but i'm taking you there.. I don't trust you. You look like the kind of girl who causes trouble." Troy pushed the back of the barrel of his gun to center of her back  Clementine thought to herself trying to figure out how she was going to get to Luke.

"hey look, its clem an the asshole." Kenny called out as he was hammering a board to the fence. Troy

looked over at Kenny

 "keep talkin shit and you will end up with a bullet in your ass, here this girl is coming to help you with work, I-" Troy's radio went off

"Troy you are needed in the stock room right now, so stop what you're doing and head on over do you copy?" Troy sighed picking up his radio

 "alright i'm on my way." he mumbled and looked at Clementine "if I come back and

find out you where doing other shit, you will be meetin the back of my hand... again." he shoved her forward and left.Clementine waited for him to walk around the corner and looked up at Kenny who mumbled

 "my mustache hits harder than you." causing Clementine to laugh at what Kenny had just said.

 "That was a good one Kenny. I am going to go to Luke if Troy shows up just tell him that I had just left back to the pen shortly before he showed up.  Kenny's eyebrow lifted 

"alright Darlin, just... be careful and make sure Luke tells you about that escape plan of his, I cant stand this piece of shit camp anymore." he whispered. Clementine nodded and turned around walking to the comic book store she quickly looked to her left and then to her right waiting for Kenny to give the signal that it was okay to enter. Once she he gave the thumbs up she took a deep breath  turning the knob pulling the door open.

-Chapter 3 end

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, it was just a bonding chapter between Clem and Sarah. Troy had no real reason to hit Clementine right!? kick him onto the floor.
