The Broken But Strong

The Saddest Goodbye

(Clementine's Pov)

I woke up to the sound of a Walker hitting the door and I look up to see Violet as she was keeping the desk from moving back. Louis was also helping her and I quickly get up and grabbed my knife and I go over to them. I look to the window to see that there were Walkers surrounding the whole deck and I look to the Walker as it hit the window trying to break the glass.

"Fuck, how did this happen?" I asked as I helped them keep the desk to the door as the Walker kept trying to break the glass.

"Hell, if I know, I just woke up to some banging sound and I just... fucking hell." Violet says and the Walker finally was able to break the glass. I quickly get up on the desk and stabbed the Walker in the head and decided to pull it in.

"Quick, cover yourselves." I say as I cut opened the damn thing and we started to cover ourselves.

"Won't they know?" Louis asked and I shake my head.

"Walkers are blind they go mostly by scent." I explained and I get up and showed them as I stick my arm out. None of the Walkers grabbed me and I look to Louis and Violet as we moved the desk and started to walk out slowly. The Walkers would look around and leave us alone as we just kept moving. We finally get to a point in the woods were there was a pathway and I look to it and we followed the path downward. There were still Walkers here and there but at least they weren't as many as there was at the ranger tower.

"Hey what's that?" I hear and looked to see a bridged.

"Is that the bridge?" I asked as we walked up to it.

"No, the one by the school has blue paint coming off it, this is just green." Louis says and I nod and we walked across and keep going. I would look to the map here and there to make sure we wouldn't get lost and we finally get to a point where we were near the end of another cliff. There was a gunshot and we looked down to see Minerva as she had shot a Walker and we backed up a bit.

"Fucking hell." Violet says and I look to each of them and then down to see there were more Walkers by her. Surprised that the Walkers didn't go after her but I suppose she was still covered in the Walker guts.

"Let's head this way." I say pointing to the map where there was another ranger station.

"We keep going to the ranger stations." Louis says and I look to him.

"Would you like to stay out in the open? This is all we got, besides after this there is no more towers to go to so." I say as I fold up the map and we start walking. It was a good few hours for us due to the amount of Walkers but we had reached a stopping point which was one of those old campgrounds so I look to the other two and we take a break and I pulled out the map.

"Fuck my feet hurt." Louis says as he sat at the bench and I look to him as he took off his shoe.

"This is nothing." I say to him and he looked to me a bit.

"Well... yeah you're use to it." He says and I shrugged. Though he was right it didn't mean I liked the idea of walking for so long and having to keep a watch out for all types of danger.

"AJ's feet bled once, so being use to it doesn't mean we like it." I tell him and he looked to the side a bit. I shake my head and looked to see Violet come over to us.

"There's a fishing hole down that way, we could get some food probably." She says and looked to the direction of the fishing hole and I nod a bit.

"Yeah, that sounds good." I say as I get up.

"I'll be here, fucking foot hurts." Louis says and I nod.

"Look to see if there is a cabin nearby on the map at least." I tell him and he nods as he rubbed his foot and Violet and I went to the fishing hole and I grabbed my knife and the rope. Violet grabbed a stick and checked it before she handed it to me so I could tie the knife to it. We go over to the water and I look around a bit into the water.
