2 hours before the incident..
"Clementine!" yelled aj , he held tightly onto the steel pipe from the boat, dangling over the edge. "Aj ! Stay calm! Im gonna get you!", clementine responded to the frightened boy, she could only imagine what was going through his mind. She tried climbing up but, there was no other way of him getting down. "fuck! Your gonna have to let go!" Clementine yelled, not paying attention to the squeaky floorboards underneath the, smaller old worn down boat, "I'll catch you! Quickly aj!" aj became tense, fear in his eyes he looked down towards clem, clementine could see the fear in his eyes, she remembered the last time she saw him like that, "Im gonna sing okay!? Your favorite song!" she spoke loudly, hoping to ease the younger child.
She hummed loud enough for the child to hear. It was a peaceful remedy. Reminding himself about his long gone childhood. But he gave in, his shoulders dropped, eyes relaxed and took a deep breath, he let go of the steel bar.BAM! the younger boy landed in clementines arms, but the weight was too much. The old floorboards collapsed and they both fell, clem landed into the water and so did aj, "im gonna push you to shore! Find the others!" Clementine made up a plan right on the spot, "what about you!?" Aj responded "I'll be fine! Just go!" she pushed him further to shore where he swam away, clementine looked up the remaining pieces of the floorboards were lingering by a thread she tried to swim away as quickly as possible but it was too late BAM!
...
"clem?, clem!? " Clementine shot up from the car seat, Gabe was next to her, she laid on his shoulder as they held hands, she quickly shifted away looking at the position they were in. "why did you leave me?" Gabriel asked, clementines heart sunk to her feet. "w-what? I didn't leave you?" Gabriel pointed outside of the car Javier was there and so was her past self, she crowded around something, or.. Someone. Clementine opened the rusty car door and walked over to the scene, Gabriel was there and he was bloody, his head was busted, blood running down from his head to his neck, his clothes were filled with his father's blood and he had a gun in his hand, clementine looked back the the previous Gabe in the car, he vanished and the car door was still opened, her face dropped and she looked back at the scene. The nearly dead Gabriel pointed at her, Javier turned around. His eyes were black, then her past self turned towards her, her eyes were white and she had her old blue jacket on, "what the fuck?.." the brunette was horrified, Javier started to walk towards her, picking up the pace each step, he pulled out the gun and pointed it to her skull, the hat wearing girl felt numb, she closed her eyes and gave in.
BANG.
"GAH!" Clementine woke up from her 'slumber', she panted breathlessly and looked around her holding her head. The wooden plank must've hit her good because she could barely see. She regained her senses and realized , she had washed up on shore. She quickly got up once she saw her surroundings and all the walkers approaching. "shit, I gotta find Aj." the started running towards the large stones on the beach and slid over them, john wick style. Tenn stood in front of her. "tenn! Thank God your alright. Have you seen Aj?" she asked in panic. She waited for an answer. "he told me he was gonna look for you, he saw you get hit with something! I havent seen him since.", clementine started to run back to the deep waters, all she thought about was 'finding aj.' she ran as far as her feet could take her making sure each step counted, she saw his red beaten up jacket lying on the ground, her face fell her eyes darted around the place, she started running again before she was stopped by a hand, it was louis.
"clem! What are you doing!? We need to get back to shore! The others are waiting!"louis yelled at clementine, giving her a, *dont do it* stare. "I need to find aj! Theres no fucking way im leaving him! Even if I die in the process! He needs to be safe!"Clementine yelled back, even more worried than before. Louis looked away, taking a second to think. "im coming with you!", she smiled, knowing she'd need the help.Clementine and Louis rush to the water, eyes darting everywhere looking for the remaining member of 'team fun' clementines eyes followed every trace of the boy, until she landed on a green shirt in the waters "Aj!" she walked closer towards him as he turned around, he was swallowed by walkers, but they weren't attacking him? Strange? But clementine understood why when he fully turned around. He was pale, his face nearly off and filled with blood. Clementine stopped in her tracks, her chest tightened, she couldn't believe it, Aj couldn't be dead. He just couldn't. Her knees felt weak, and they dropped to the ground. Louis approached her looking at the scene in horror, he looked back to the shore violet approached them, "where the fuck did you guys!-" her heart dropped, clementine was in tears and louis was horrified. Clementine looked back at the zombiefied boy. She let out the most painful, gut-wrenching scream known to man, Louis put his hand on her shoulder, she trembled as she got up, the three teens ran back to the carriage led by the horses and jumped in, everybody else was there. All of the members started questioning the trio as soon as they got in "did you find aj?" mitch asked, clementine felt heartbroken, she couldn't respond. Violet gave them a *look*, and the others faces dropped, ruby couldn't hear, since she was riding the horses but the others sure did.
