A New Start (Gabentine)

3

Recap; Lisa offered to help Gabe and Clementine go to McCarrol ranch. The 3 of them have now set off to their journey to get AJ back.

A/N; I've decided to make this story a interactive story since those are fun! :3

"So.. why do you want to go to McCarrol ranch exactly?"

Clementine eyed Lisa for a moment - slightly glaring at her. "A ass- some people took him and we're going to get him back". Clementine didn't want to refer David and his group 'assholes' since Gabe was here. She knew Gabe was still hurt that his father died even thought it has been a couple weeks since the even occurred. Lisa's face morphed into a 'o' after she heard that and quickly shifted her eyes back on the road.

Clementine playfully nudged Gabe to see if he was still awake - he wasn't. She didn't know if he was just closing his eyes or was really asleep since he moved a bit when she nudged him. Her eyes shifted to his head, and she noticed something: He didn't have his beanie on. She rarely saw Gabe with his beanie off so this was kind of new to her. She smiled at her sleeping friend.

He looks cut- Dorky...

She then turned around to look out the window to stop her thoughts of getting anywhere else.

"Fuck!" Lisa roared and slamming her hand on the steering wheel causing it make a loud beep.

"What's going on?!" Clementine exclaimed worried.

"Oh... we don't have enough gas to go there and back. We'll have to walk the rest of the way there" Lisa noticed Clementine furrow her eyebrows and quickly added: "But it's not far at all! Only 15 minutes away". Clementine groaned in annoyance

This is going to take a while

She felt something shift over to her

Gabe had finally woken up.

"I see you're awake now" She said - smirking while she opened the door of the car. "Well I heard Lisa honk the car.. it was pretty damn loud." Gabe said while chuckling a bit.

They soon exited out the car and saw Lisa stab two walkers in the head.

"We better get going.. more walkers will come since the honk was pretty loud" Clementine said, indicating at the Walker growls that can be heard deep in the forest. Lisa nodded in response and all three of them started walking down the road towards McCarrol ranch.

"So.. what happened to your beanie?.."

Gabes eyes widened at Clementines question. Clementine, of course being her self, was curious on why he had taken off his beanie. He always had it on. It was like... glued to his head.

"Oh.. U-Um.. I got tired of it I guess.."

Clementine knew that wasn't the real reason, but she decided not to bug him and pressure him into telling her.

"Oh... okay".

"I like your new style.. it suits you". Clementine quickly added while flashing a smile to Gabe. He blushed a little bit by her comment – it surprised him. Did she just.. compliment me?. "T-Thanks" he said almost too quickly and quiet for her to understand. It really meant something to him that she complimented his new 'look'.

"Here!" Lisa half shouted to the teens far behind her. Clementine basically sprinted to where Lisa stood and there it was: McCarrol ranch.

The ranch wasn't like anything Clementine expected. It actually looked more like a small settlement. As they got closer to McCarrol ranch they heard the growls of walkers and guns being fired.

"GET THE FUCK INSIDE NOW!"

A man motioned to the group to three to hurry up and get in McCarrol ranch. Wasting no time, They all ran straight into the gates, killing some walkers on the way.

BAM!

The gate slammed shut, two walkers got smushed in between the gate while in the process. "So what brings you two at McCarrol ranch?". A man said. He had dirty blond hair and dark brown eyes. He was rather shorter than the average male though. "Dr.lingard told me AJ was here. I want him back.. now.". The man laughed mockingly and shook his head repeatedly.

"Sorry miss, I'm not letting you see two strangers go to the nursery. Plus, you both need to be checked for bites or anything"

Clementine started to immediately get pissed. Before she could say anything Gabe took a step towards the man and started to yell at him.

"Hey! You assholes took him away from her! Sh-we traveled for days without rest".  Gabe practically yelled at the man, it even startled Clementine a bit. "And who the hell are you to tell me what to do?". Gabe clenched his right hand, forming it into a fist. "I want AJ... now" Clementine said, quickly interrupting before Gabe could say anything.

"You have to get checked for bites, gosh damn it! Is that hard for you people to understand that?! And we're not let anyone seeing them in the nursery for a couple of days!" The man yelled back, louder this time.

"Do I look fucking bitten?" Clementine said.

"You were out in a fucking herd! I don't know! Just go get checked for bites and go to quarantine".

-
Should they:
(A) Go to quarantine and obey the man
Or
(B) they keep protesting until they go to the nursery.

A/N; Finally finished! Sorry if this sucks! It's like 1:09 am ;-;
