Section TWO - Stonger

[Louis, around Noon]

"Umm, guys?"
"What?"
"Did you see that? The person?"
"No, where were they?"
"On top of the roof. There." I point at where the figure was.
"Don't be crazy, you can't even get up the—" but then we saw them. They climbed the bell tower, almost defying gravity, and just stood, watching us.

"Holy shit. RUBY!"
"What?" Ruby emerges from the greenhouse.
"Look." He points at the figure. Ruby's eyes widen. The person seems to be studying is. And then they jump off the bell tower, climbing down, coming towards us. They jump off at the end and disappear. A few seconds pass, and then they materialise from the vegetation, holding a rifle.
"Hands up. All of you." It's a woman's voice. She's wearing a black bandana and an ebony black hoodie matched with black jeans and a black T-shirt - literally a walking shadow.
We put our hand in the air.
"Drop the bat."
She puts the barrel of the gun against my forehead. I let Chairles drop to the ground.
"Weapons?"
Mitch takes out his knife and drops it.
"Show me your supplies. Now."

[Clem, afternoon]

I sit, playing with the bow string and running my finger down the snakes tail, when I hear the growl of a walker. I panic and take out an arrow. I look at the pile of rocks, but I load the bow and look around me. It's directly in front of me, heading towards me, arms waving. I pull the string back, careful to aim for the head, and release. The walker drops dead on the ground, and I give a sigh of relief. I do not want to deal with any more of them.

[Louis, afternoon]

We all stand there, silently crossing our fingers when it happens. The woman is questioning us when we hear Violet's voice:
"Drop the gun and leave us alone."
She's holding Marlon's bow, string draw as far as possible.

The woman turns around and shakes her head, before grabbing me and taking two long steps backwards. I feel the cold end of the rifle barrel on my temple. Violet gives up and releases the string, sending the arrow whistling towards her. The woman easily ducks, and grabs my back, and once again puts the barrel against my temple, pushing it so hard I feel it dig into my skin.
"Stop.." I groan. Violet lowers the bow reluctantly. I feel her grip loosen on my neck, and then she jabs my head with the rifle, knocking me off my feet.
Violet raises her bow again, but I shake my head.

"Are you with the raiders?" She asks the woman.
"No. I'm passing through, and I want your stuff." The woman replies in a cold tone.
"I'm guessing we have no choice."
"You're a smart one."

We gave her a large portion of what we had, not daring to risk anything. Just as we led her into the infirmary, we heard an unknown voice.
"Is there another one of you?" The woman asks.
"No.?" Violet replies, but the woman has slammed the door. A few seconds pass, and then the door opens. The woman leads a boy, our age, into the room.
"Who is this?" She asks.
"I have no idea—"
"Don't shoot the messenger! I'm only here because Clementine needs Louis!" Everyone in the room stops doing whatever they were doing.
"Clementine?" The woman mutters, "shit. There's thousands of Clementines, get over yourself." She lets go of the boy.
"Take me to—"
"I should come! She knows who I am, she sent for me in the first place!" I speak up.
She looks at me and lowers her bandana.
"I think she might know me too."
