We Don't Die

Broken Toys

"Well, shit." Abel says. The kids stare at him with their hands on their hips. "Well, what are you waiting for?" Abel asks. "Finish me!" "We're not doing anything. We just want to know where Delta is located. We're getting our people back." Clementine says confidently. "I'm not tellin' you shit! You want information? You're gonna have to torture me." "Seems like aging is already doing that for us." Violet steps in. "What are we going to do with him?" AJ asks. Clementine looks at AJ then back at Abel. "We're placing him in the cellar."

In The Cellar

Clementine, AJ, and Abel walk down the cellar stairs. AJ has his gun pointed at Abel. "Thinking about pulling that trigger, squirt?" Abel asks. He begins to laugh. "Shut the fuck up." AJ replies. Abel stops walking and turns around and faces AJ. "That's impolite. Somebody has to teach you your manners." AJ raises his gun higher to Abel's temple. "Keep walking." Clem says aggressively. Abel turns around and they keep walking. They turn the corner and Abel stops. Clementine ties a rope on his legs. "You think this is gonna stop me?" Abel questions. "I'm not risking anything until we find out where Delta is." She replies. "Treat me like a prisoner, and I won't tell you shit." Clementine looks at him and places her hands on her hips. She turns around and grabs a chair and sits on it. AJ stands next to her and crosses his arms. "Tell us about Delta." AJ demands. Abel stares at them. "What makes you think I'd do that?" Abel says. AJ aims his gun. "One way or another, you're going to tell us." Clem says. Abel chuckles. "You better make sure that thing is loaded, because if it's not, you're in serious trouble." Abel threatens. "Just wait till Lilly gets here. She's going to take the others and watch as you helplessly can't do a thing about it. She's going to make you suffer first. You're going to watch as your friends get taken away from their home and you won't be able to do a damn thing about it. Then when she feels like you've had enough, she's going to make you suffer more by killing him." Abel pauses and then stares at Clem. "Then she'll kill you." He says with a dark tone. Clementine stares at Abel with hatred. "She isn't going to take anymore people. I won't let that happen." She says confidently. "You say that now." Abel replies. "Until she approaches your gate and takes more of your people." Clementine rolls her eyes and crosses her arms. She gets up and kicks a bucket over to Abel. "You know what to do with it." She says. Abel looks down at the bucket. "I'm going to shit in that bucket and watch as you clean it everyday and desperately get tired of it." Clem and AJ start to move to the stairs until Clem stops. "We'll bring you breakfast and water tomorrow. And we'll get someone to look at your wounds." She says. "Thank you for your hospitality." Abel jokes. Clementine and AJ walk up the stairs and leave the cellar. She closes the cellar door and locks it and they begin to move to their room.

Inside the Room

"Why are we treating the enemy with kindness?" AJ asks. Clementine looks at him and gets on her knees. "AJ, listen to me, the only reason why I'm doing this is because we lost enough already. If we beat on him or kill him, Lilly will kill Omar and Louis. This place has already lost six people of their own. We don't need to add more to that list." She says firmly. "Six? What do you mean?" Asks AJ. "They took Sophie and Minerva. They kidnapped Louis and Omar. Marlon killed Brody and Marlon-" she stops. "I know. I murdered him." AJ says. Clementine has a sad expression on her face after he said that. She gives him a hug. "You're not a murderer, AJ. You just didn't know that it was the wrong time to pull the trigger. You still atoned it and they ended up forgiving you." AJ takes his jacket off and sets it on the shelf next to his bed. He immediately jumps in it and yawns. "Tired?" Clem asks. "Yeah." AJ replies with in a mid-yawn. Clementine approaches AJ. "Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let a walker bite, and if they try?" "Bang." AJ finished. She smiles and walks to her dresser. Clementine takes her hat off and sets it on the dresser. She climbs in bed and rests her head on the pillow.

Morning

Clementine wakes up and notices AJ is staring out the window. She yawns and sits up. "Good morning, kiddo." She says. "Morning." He responds. "What are you doing?" "Looking outside. It's pretty out there. How the sun makes everything shine." AJ says with a smile. Clementine smiles with joy. She gets up and puts her hat on. "Ready to start the day?" She asks. AJ jumps off the dresser. "Ready." He says confidently. "Let's go." Clementine and AJ walk out of the door and head to the cellar where Abel has been placed.
