Clem and Gabe

Chapter Twenty: Through The Forest

Clem's POV

I went into a bedroom and laid on one of the cots with AJ. I held him close.

"Sleep, Goofball." I whispered.

He smiled and fell asleep. Becca was on a cot in the room as well. It was a small room. I couldn't not think of Gabe. I started to tear up. I fell asleep.

Unknown POV

It's night now. I was lost. Just me and my gun. I escaped but they followed me. I ran into the forest. I may be faster but there was still a herd behind me. I was running for my life. I looked behind me as I ran. The herd was still following me. I turned to look in front of me. I slammed into a tree. This was it. I'm done for. I laid on the ground and as I went unconscious I heard the sound of gunfire.

Clem's POV

I was at the door of the house where Gabe died. The herd got closer to Gabe. I ran to him.

"GABE! NO!" I tugged on him.

He hugged me.

"I love you. Now run. RUN!" He yelled.

Becca pulled on me.

She pulled me to the door.

"GABE! GABE NO! I LOVE YOU!" I screamed.

I woke up sweaty. I shot up bumping AJ. He woke up and frantically looked at me with eyes wide open.

"It's okay Goofball. Go back to sleep." I whispered.

He fell back asleep and I got up. I walked downstairs to the front door and opened it. I walked outside and sat on the step of the front porch.

"I miss you Gabe." I said.

"Why did you have to be a hero? Why? You could have come with us! Everything would have been fine." I said as I looked down.

I began to cry.........

Javi walked onto the porch and sat next to me.

"I miss Kate." He said.

Unknown POV

I was in a warehouse. It was dark I was tied to a chair. A man walked in front of me. He was standing in the shadows. 

"Who the hell are you?! Where am I?!" I asked.

The man walked out. He had slicked back black hair and he was wearing a black coat. He looked like a farmer.

"I'm going to make this quick. Have heard of a man named Lee?" The man asked.

Lee. Clementine talked about a man named Lee. He took care of her. If he knows Lee, then he knows Clem. But Lee died.

"Yes. He died. A girl told me about him." I said.

"Is her name Clementine?" The man asked.

I didn't want to tell him. I wouldn't tell him.

"I will hit you boy." He said to me.

He raised his fist to punch me.

"Try me." I said.

He punched me in the jaw. My lip began to bleed. 

"Jesus ok! Yes... that's her name." I said.

He smiled. He turned around to think. 

"Why do you need to know her name?!" I asked.

He turned around with no smile. He raised his fist and knocked me out.

Javi's POV
The Next Morning

I talked to Clem last night about Gabe and Kate... we were both hurting. But we had to toughen up. Everyone was eating in the living room. I went and sat down with my breakfast.

"We have to find supplies." I said.

"We do." Jesus agreed.

Everyone nodded.

"Have you scouted the area?" I asked Jesus.

He shook his head no.

"I'll go then." I said.

I finished my breakfast then Clem, Jesus, Molly and I all went out to scout.

Unknown POV

It was the next morning and I was still tied up. I had just woken up. It was dark.

"HELLO?!" I yelled.

The man walked out from the shadows.

"Hi there!" He said.

"Who are you?! What is your name?" I asked.

"Andrew. Andrew St.John!" He exclaimed.

I've heard that name... and I don't think it was used in good reasoning.

"What is yours?" He asked.

"Gabe." I told him.

"I have a question. Where is Clementine?" He asked.

Who is this guy?! Why does he want Clem?!

"I don't know." I said.

"Yes you do. You know her. WHERE IS SHE?!" He yelled at me.

I honestly didn't know.

"I DON'T KNOW!" I yelled.

He punched me.

"WHY?!" I asked.

He snapped his finger.

Another man limped out from the shadows with four patched holes in his chest.

"Hi *wheez* there." He said.

"My brother Danny. Lee almost killed him. With this!" Andy said as he whipped out a pitchfork.

He raised it to my chest.

"Where is she?!" He demanded.

"I'm not lying! I DON'T KNOW!" I yelled.

He pulled the fork back and got ready to stab me. He was about to stab me. I closed my eyes.

I heard the door get kicked open.

I opened my eyes and couldn't believe it...

Clementine.
