(Time Skip: Five Hours Later)
Clem's POV:
We were walking for about five hours now when we finally approached a kind of discarded looking building. It looked all messed up with banners literally shredded to pieces and parts of the walls missing. Almost as if it was hit with an bomb. "So this is your community, huh? Not really much now is it?" I asked sarcastically as I looked like Marlon. "Someone's picky aren't they? Trust me Clementine. It might look like shit on the outside but that's only the exterior. The Interior stuff will blow your fucking mind." Marlon said as he and Ten both motioned for me to follow them. I just rolled my eyes and smiled as I followed them into the building. "What was this place?" I asked them as I entered what looked to be like a college. "Well are used to be a boarding school I guess until the whole apocalypse kind of happened. Now are use it as a refuge for kids and teens who have survived this terrible and unforgiving world." He said as I looked around to see books scattered everywhere and more torn up banners. "Come on there is more to see." I then her Ten say as we went through yet another door.
We were now walking down a walkway where we passed door after door after door. "So how long have you and your people been staying here?" I asked him as he then looked back at me and smiled. "Well I have been here ever since this whole thing started. It was me and my parents until... They died." He said as I felt a little bad. "Oh I'm sorry to hear that. How did they die?" I asked again as I could tell he felt uncomfortable. "I don't really like to talk about it. My father owned this place so I've basically have lived here all my life. But anyways me and the rest of the council then took it upon ourselves to find lost children like us and bring them here to safety." He said.  "What do you mean by counsel?" I once again asked. "What do you think I run this whole place by myself? We have a council to decide and run different factions of the community. We consist of me, Louis, Violet, and of course Ten. Ten and Violet handle the younger kids while Louis and I take care of the older kids. You'll meet Louis and Violet soon I guarantee it." He then said as I nodded. We then approach the door that look like it lead to outside as Ten then said, "Well, here we go." Marlon then open the door as I got a pretty damn good look of what was inside.
Marlon was right when he said the inside would blow my mind because it totally did. I mean it looked like a nice functional community just run by kids. I couldn't help but look at how I touched it looked. I then see Ten run past me as I was still in awe. "You know it's hard to believe that you two were out there all by yourselves for so long." Marlon said moving next to me. "You sound surprised." I said back. "Oh shit! That's not what I meant. Sorry." He apologizes while smiling. "Well listen, I have to go take care of a few things. If anything, AJ should be up there in the library. That's where we first keep all new young arrivals. You should see him there with Violet." He then said waving goodbye to me. I then walked up to the building as I saw a boy around my age with dreadlocks sitting on a lawn chair right outside the door. "Oh hello. I'm Louis. Nice to meet you miss...." He says as he stopped so I can just say my name. "Oh it's Clementine." I said. "Clementine huh? That's a really pretty name." He then said trying to flatter me but it didn't work. "Uh Thanks. If you think so." I awkwardly said. "So what are you doing here?" He asked me. "Well I'm here to get my adopted son, AJ. You see our car got overrun by walkers and we ended up cra...." I said until I stop myself when I noticed that Louis wasn't looking right at me but instead looking little lower. It took me a moment until I realize that he was staring right at my breasts. "Hey buddy, my eyes are up here." I barked as his eyes were still on my breasts. "Yeah well your tits aren't and I'd much rather look at those." He said as I became disgusted by his comment. "Wow and I thought you were nice. But I guess you're just a womanizing and perverted asshole." I said as I just walked in with anger in my step. "God you think he'd have some fucking decency." I thought as I was now inside of the place where I should find AJ. "Oh come on baby girl. Come on back over here hottie." He flirted as I just ignored him. All I really want is to have my goofball back and to know that he's OK. I then pushed the whole Louis thing out of my mind as I begin to look around the area for AJ.
