Clementine:

It was around 7:00 in the morning. The curly-haired girl was sleeping peacefully until her little brother woke her up. He shook her body violently. ,,CLEM! CLEM! WAKE UP, NOW!" he almost cried. ,,Uuuh, what?" she groaned.

,,THEY SHOT JAVI!!"

,,WHAT???!!!" she jumped from the bed and headed to the courtyard.

Clem and Javier were very close, they saved each other hundreds of times.

She saw her friend on the bench shirtless with two bullets in his stomach. Kate and Eleanor were next to him with medical supplies, ready to take the bullets out. Lee came in. ,,What the hell happened out there?!"
,,Me, Gabe and Javi were checking traps. We saw some guys shooting on us, so we hid. Javi was about to fire back, b-but then was a second and third gunshot and Javi... That Blue assholes ran off." said David. Lee crossed his arms. ,,Shit."
,,AAAAAGH!!" Javier screamed from the pain. ,,Shhhhh, it's gonna be okay. Just breathe. I almost got it." Kate tried to calm him but he was shaking. ,,Clem, hold him!" Clem didn't even hesitate to hold him down. AJ joined too. ,,Okay, first is out." Clem was terrified at how her friend was suffering. ,,Uncle Javi?" Gabe was holding his uncle's hand, tears in his eyes. Javi opened his eyes to see his nephew. ,,Gabe...I'll be fine- AAAAGH!!"
,,I got 'em!" Eleanor quickly wrapped bandages around his stomach but he wasn't moving. Kate checked his pulse. ,,Don't worry, he passed out." They all sighed in relief and walked away.

,,How many were of them?" Clem heard a conversation between Lee and David, they were talking about the incident. She walked towards them, each step she did, she heard better.
,,They were three, two adults and one kid. Maybe around Clem's age." David said. ,,Hmm.., okay. We are gonna fire back. They want war? Then they'll have it. We can go today at midnight or at sunset." Her dad pulled out a map of the way to the Blue base, he pointed on it. ,,We can sneak from behind, see if there will be watch. Ten or twelve of us can go." 
,, I wanna go." AJ said sternly.  They looked at him shocked. Anybody didn't even notice he was there all the time. ,,What? No! You are not going!," Lee said, ,,It's too dangerous!" AJ frowned. ,,But I want to! I'm old enough!" (I made AJ 10 years old) Clementine kneeled down to his level. ,,AJ, you're just a kid-"

,,So are you..."

,,I'm older!"

,,So what?"

,,You can't even go out!"

,,Well, I want to! I'm ready for it."

Clem frowned. She stood up and crossed her arms. ,,AJ! Stop! You are not going out there, end of the story." AJ furrowed his eyebrows at her from anger and closed his hands into fists. He then walked off. ,,Good job, Clem," her father smiled and patted her on the head, but his smile faded away quickly, ,,where's your hat?"

Oh shit, what should I say, WHAT SHOULD I SAY?!

,,I- emmm... I forgot it in my room, I think..." she said, hoping he won't notice she's lying. He breathed out in relief. ,,I'm glad you didn't lose it. It's practically mine but I borrowed it to you." he chuckled a little. Clem gave him a thumbs up and a fake smile. David joined in the conversation. ,,So... Who should go?" Lee had a serious face now. ,,I don't know, maybe Conrad, Tripp,...maybe Kate could go." David widened his eyes. ,,No! Please, Lee- I mean s-sir. She's my wife, she can stay here with Javi and I can go," Lee thought about his idea, ,,Please!" ,,Fine, create a group, you're a leader. Just be careful, you're one of our best." he patted him on the shoulder. ,,You can count on me." he smiled and went somewhere.

He looked at his daughter. ,,So, Clem... What are you going to do today?" Clementine didn't really have anything to do, she mostly wanted to go out and find her hat and...maybe someone.
,,Umm, maybe I could go out?" she kept eye contact with the ground. ,,What?! What do you want to do outside?" Her father wasn't very happy about what just his daughter said. ,,Well... I found some berries in the safe-zone." she lied. ,,I-I don't know about this, sweetpea. Look, I know you are fiftee-"
,,I'm eighteen. And I think I'll be nineteen soon."
,,I know you are eighteen, but I think it will be better if you stay here. Y'know? Just play with Sam or something." he tried to reason with her. ,,Come on, dad, PLEASE?! I don't want to just sit around and watch people. I wanna be useful!"
