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

[Louis]

"Clem.. who was that guy? The one that you sent?"
"His name is James. He helped me into a safe place." She says.
I decide that this is not anything to worry about.
"Who was that woman?" I ask curiously.
"Molly. Almost Eight years ago, she helped my group do something. I'm not really sure I can remember what it was, but I remember that it got sabotaged." She explains.
"Is she good or..."
"She was a good person. I know that she would definitely never join a community, ever since Crawford.."
"Crawford?"
"It was a community. They threw out the elderly, the young, the sick. Made a community of strong men and women only. Then..." she pauses, and then stops.
"She left because of their 'policies'."
I nod.

Clem and I are relaxed when she sits up.
Where's AJ?" The question comes out of nowhere. Her tone is stressful, as if she's just realised AJ is missing.
"I... umm...."
"Don't tell me he's—"
"He got captured! Along with Aasim! There was nothing I could do!"
She looks at me. A single tear escapes her eye.
"We left him to be taken! He's a boy! What were you thinking?" She shouts.
"Look, calm down! We'll get him out of—"
"I don't care what you're gonna do now! You've taken us in, and then you've planned to TRADE us and now this! We're desperate but for fuck's sake, I won't stand anymore of this bullshit. He's all I have." She's now standing up and pacing." She's saying something else but I'm not listening. Despite my full desire to not be selfish, I was stuck on that one part.
"He's all you have? I thought we had something."
"Well it turns out 'something' never works out when you're three years into the apocalypse and everyone you love is dead or dying." Clem's word stung me. Without another word, Clem was at the door and gone.

I look out of the window to see Molly run into the courtyard.
I run out of the room and down the stairs to approach Molly. I look at the window of Clem's room but she's reading a book, disinterested. I'm all alone. Nervously, I walk up to her, but she just nods and drops a supply bag.
"Thanks." I say, looking through its contents: bandages, medical supplies, and even some food and a small knife.
"Look after her." Molly says.
I look at Molly's clothes. She's wearing a tool bag hung over her shoulder, and there are two sheaths on her jean pockets. In the sheaths, I can see climbing picks; one of them is rusty and old whilst the other is glossy, clean and smooth.
"Woah."
"These things? They're incredibly useful for scaling buildings. This one's Hilda. She shakes the rusty one.
"Hilda huh. What's the other one called?"
"Doesn't have a name, but his twin is with one of my squad mates. Hasn't been touched in years, shiny new." She says, "Well, Louis, good luck. I have to go." She does a small salute and runs towards the gates, once again disappearing into the shadows.
"Made friends with the foe?" Mitch puts his hand on my shoulder out of nowhere.
"She's not a foe." I replied simply.
"That's exactly what a traitor would say." Mitch says, smiling. Maybe we're back on good terms.

I walk into the infirmary, dropping off the supplies that Molly gave me.
"Thanks Louis." Ruby says as I leave.
I'm heading for Clem's room when I hear a scream.
"What the fuck?!" Violet storms down the stairs, bow at hand. I run into Clem's room and pick up Chairles; I'd forgotten to take it.
Clem puts down the book and collects something from the drawer before leaving.
"Be careful." She says.
When I get into the courtyard, I see that our little wooden lookout tower has been destroyed, and that walkers have surrounded it. Violet is shooting the walkers one by one, and I charge into them, swinging Chairles in powerful arcs, killing most walkers in one hit to the head.

When they're cleared out, I see Mitch, mangled and bloody, underneath the wood.
His shirt is damp with blood that's pouring from his abdomen. Shit.
"Alright. It's all good. We'll get you inside." I assure him.
I hear a groan and turn to look at Will, who was lying, bruised but hardly scathed.
"Mitch.. No! Louis get the supplies from the infirmary or something! What are you doing?" Ruby stresses.
"No. He's dead." Violet says slowly. I freeze.
"No way. No." I bend down over him and press my fingers into his neck. The veins are still. I scream in frustration before bolting back up.
"This wasn't the walkers." I say to Violet. As if on cue, she draws the bow and shoots something past the gate.
We hear a man scream in pain as the arrow pierced them. We all look out from the gate to see Abel lying on the ground, stuck to the ground by an arrow to the knee.
