If everything I love turned to dust {TWDG LOUIS x CLEMENTINE/CLOUIS}

[Clem]

I stared into the distance, wondering when James was going to return. I had been doing nothing for a while, and I was bored as hell.
And then I heard footsteps.
"James?"
"Clem, umm.." it was James' voice but he sounded really nervous.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone wants to see you.." he mutters.
And then I feel the barrel of a gun against the back of my head.
"Turn around." The voice is familiar, in a weird way.
"I can't." I reply. I hear her sigh, and then step to the side, and walk forward. She crouches in front of me,
I look at her. She's wearing all black, with a hoodie and a bandana.
"Clementine.. It's actually is you." She whispers, "I don't know if you remember me, but I was there when you were in Savannah. My name's Molly."
I tried to remember. I tried to remember Savannah before the herd. And then it clicked.

"Molly? Is that really you? But we're so far away, from Savannah.."
"I moved on. I never joined a community again." She glances at my leg, "My squad can help you with your leg. I can take you there now."
"No, I've got a place. Ericson's boarding school." I tell her.
"And do they have what you need? You're all kids! I can help you, even for a little bit. You can't stay in that school, it's not safe. Walkers could easily walk in." She tells me, "Look. Come with me now, and I will help you. And I can let you go when you're healthy again. I can teach you how to survive."
"I've learnt a lot already." I say.
She pauses.
"Where's Lee?" She asks slowly.
I open my mouth, but stop. I remember shooting him. Not letting him turn. Not allowing him to suffer.

"He's dead."
She looks into my eyes.
"His sacrifice won't be worth it if you don't survive. We can fix you up. I'm not saying come with us, I'm offering you help."
I consider my options.
"How long?"
"Just a week or two. And then, you'll be able to go on like before. I have no idea what you did after you left, but I know that a lot of people must have made hard decisions for you, we don't want that wasted."
"A few weeks is a long time." I mutter.
She sighs.
"All right. I'll just give you what you need. There isn't much I can do, the squad might not agree." She says quietly. I can see her face clearly now; she pulled her hoodie and bandana off. Her hair is a bit longer than I remember it, her face is covered in scratches, dirt, mud and blood. She must be living a hard life.

"Thank you." I say.
"You're welcome. I'll take you back to the school." She pulls out her hand and lifts me up.
I look behind me and see James.
"Thank you James."
"I'm sorry kid. It's a hard life." Molly apologises before starting to walk.

~~~

We approach the school. Everyone is waiting at the entrance, but no one is happy.
"Let her GO!" Louis says, snatching the bow from Violet and drawing it back.
"Louis, no! She's a friend!" I tell.
Confusion falls on their faces when Mitch shouts:
"She's friends with a raider! Why the hell did we trust her!?"
"No, she isn't a raider!"
"Explain why she took our things, then!" Molly stops walking. We're standing opposite each other. Louis is still alert with the bow.

"I knew her as a child. She was there before my friend Lee.. left." I say. Louis relaxes with the bow.
"Clem, I'll be right back." She helps me towards Louis and motions for him to hold me. He gives the bow back to violet and holds my shoulder. Molly takes two steps backwards before turning and running out of sight.
"Is she a good person?" He asks.
"Better than any raiders." I tell him.
And then we realise how long we've been dodging each other, and start kissing, even though the others watching.

A/N:
Sorry that it's nothing like the game, but I wanted to completely branch off of the game and make it basically a different AU.
Please give feedback and vote.
See you all later.
