Clementine's POV
When I woke up I was laying on the cold floor of a dark room.
"Clem?"
I looked over and saw Violet and Louis in the same room.
"Where are we?"
"Another boat. Another jail cell."
"Where are the others?"
"The other cells in this hall."
"Did everyone survive?"
"Yeah. They did."
"Oh thank god."
I stood up and walked to the door.
"Guys?"
Everyone walked up to their doors to look at me.
"Clem you're alright!"
"Yeah how are you guys?"
"As good as we can be."
"I'm going to get you guys back home if it's the last thing I do. I will burn the Delta from the inside out."
"Hell yeah!"
"We'll be by your side!"
"Fuck the Delta!"
"What's all this yelling here?"
The guard who had come to check on us walked right up to my cell door.
"You wanna tell me what you guys were talking about?"
"Just asking if my group was okay."
"You're lying."
"So what if I was."
"You little shit!"
She tried to grab me through the bars but I stepped back too quickly for her to reach.
"You're going to be a problem. We'll have to fix that. I'll be back."
"Bite me."
"Hah. You're an idiot."
The guard walked away as I felt Violet put her hand on my shoulder.
"Clem. Don't provoke them. Please."
"They won't kill me. They need all of us. Plus Lily will want her turn anyways."
"Clem!"
"I'm being serious. They won't kill me or any of us. If they didn't need troops they would've let us be. They may beat me but they won't kill me. Lily knows my talents, so does Javi and his family. They need me."
"Okay. But we also need you. We need you to help us destroy this place and get out."
"I will. Have we started moving yet?"
"No."
"I wonder why."
"Clementine!"
I heard his voice.
"David."
"What's this I hear about you mistreating my family?"
"I don't know."
He finally appeared in front of my cell as my friends in the other cells backed away. He pointed his gun at Violet and Louis.
"You two back up. NOW!"
They jumped at the sudden boom in his voice. I could tell they didn't want to but with a gun trained on them they followed his orders. He turned to his two guards behind him.
"Open the cell."
"Yes sir."
The one guard opened the door as the other had a rope in hand.
"Out."
"No."
I received a hit to the gut from a butt of a gun and hit my knees.
"Fuck.."
They lifted my hands and tied them together with the rope.
"Drag her. Let's go."
"You're not taking her anywhere."
"Back it up blondie."
"Don't touch her."
"I will shoot your fucking head off."
"Vi. Please. Don't do anything. Don't put yourself in harm's way."
"Clementine."
"I'll be fine."
"Sure you will kid."
David laughed as his soldiers dragged me out of the cell. I finally caught my breath and tried to thrash out of the soldier's grasps. I received another punch this time to the face and this made me realize I wasn't getting out of this. I was dragged to a room on the opposite side of the ship but still on the same floor. I could hear my friends yelling for me which made me think that they'd be able to hear me too. I couldn't show it to David, but I was scared. I didn't know what was about to come and I didn't really want to find out. I wanted to cry, be held by Violet, and just lay in my bed together but that wasn't going to happen. Not for a while. I heard David laugh behind me.
"We have lots of time left, Clem. We aren't leaving for a while. We have a lot to pack up and take back to the Delta. So let's have some fun."
I was brought into the dark room and sat on a chair that my feet and arms were tied to.
"You two may leave."
The soldiers nodded and left the room, leaving just me and David.
"Just you and me now Clem. What do you say we do?"
"Let's talk."
"No. Too late for that."
"Please."
"Wow. Are you begging me not to hurt you? What happened to the tough guy act?"
"I.."
"Too late. Let's do this thing."
"Fuck."
"I'd start praying if I was you."
"Go fuck yourself."
As I finished my statement I felt a knife go straight into my thigh.
"FUCK!"
I felt my eyes tear up but I held in my tears. I can't yell. My friends can hear me.
"Jesus."
"That was just the beginning. We'll be together till we take off."
I felt a hand connect with my face causing me to spit out blood. Then a different knife was used to slice my hand. I forced myself to suppress my gasp of pain.
"This isn't as fun. I need something more."
I felt another stab to my shoulder, the same one I was shot in. I tried my hardest not to but I unleashed a blood curdling scream. I wasn't given a moment to breathe when I took a crowbar to the stomach. I coughed out blood as David hit me again and again with the crowbar.
"This is much better isn't it!"
"Shut...the fuck...up."
"Someones out of breath?"
He walked over once again and slowly and carefully sliced my right cheek. I once again tried not to make any noise but the speed David moved at was agonizing.
"AHH SHIT!"
He finally finished slicing my cheek as I felt the blood drip down my face.
"Don't worry. I didn't ruin your pretty face. It'll only leave a scar."
"Fuck. You."
He walked away with another laugh and came back with another knife.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
