Beaten (part 2)

- General POV

"How many hits was it?" Louis asked as he examined her face, wiping away dirt and blood that covered her cheeks. "I don't know, it felt like an eternity. They just... Pinned me down and... Kept hitting..." Clementine looked away painfully, now sitting with him on the floor, less than an hour later. He sighed in frustration, wiping away the single tear that fell upon the sentence. "Louis..." She looked thoughtfully at him. "Please just tell me you're not going to get yourself hurt. I don't want anything happening to you." She said. "Okay, I can try at least. You're just lucky AJ is back at the school, or he would've shredded them all to pieces." Louis smiled slightly, concern crossing his face once more as his crush exhaled slowly, clutching her stomach in pain. "Clem? What's wrong?" He grabbed her arm gently as she swayed back and forth slowly. "It's just the bruising, Lou... I'll be fine... Soon..." She trailed off, losing balance and leaning forward into Louis' arms uncontrollably. He caught her as she lost consciousness, moving to her side and laying her down on his lap.

Clementine awoke once more to a pounding headache, soothed by the feeling of Louis stroking his fingers through her hair. She stirred slightly, remembering the harsh beating as though it were a normal thing. "Hey Clem, it's okay, I'm right here..." He cooed as she relaxed a little, closing her eyes. "What's gonna happen to us, Lou?" She choked up, sadness overwhelming her. "I don't know... If the rest of the kids can't come for us... We'll find a way out." He rubbed her back comfortingly, wishing every second for it to be him. He wished that he was the one who was beaten, just so she could be okay. But she wasn't. That was proven only seconds later, when she suddenly bolted up, hurling and crying all the same. "Clem, what's wrong?!" Louis questioned as she coughed and wheezed uncontrollably, unable to reply. He moved over to her, keeping a hand on her back as she struggled to breathe, coughing up blood that dripped from her mouth and onto the floor. Finally the gagging ceased, and only heavy, shallow breathing was left. Clem sat back down, wiping the blood and saliva from her bottom lip as it trembled slightly. Louis held her other hand, wishing to do more as he noticed her rather pale complexion.

Finally, slumped against the wall, still clutching her stomach, Clem sat in pain. The pain that came in waves. The pain that wouldn't even exist if she'd played the right moves. Sure, she gave one of them a black eye, but they gave her so much more in return. She shivered from the cold embracing her body, uneven breaths and pained to even be alive. Louis took off his coat, sitting her up quickly and wrapping it around her. He wrapped an arm around her, kissing her head quickly and holding her close. "So how're we getting out?" He whispered. She gave him a quizzical stare. "Well we can't sit here forever. Either we're turned into stupid, brainless soldiers or we escape and get back to the school." If only... She thought. Just then, there was a loud bang from the deck, followed by a series of thuds and shouting. "What's going on out there?" Clem asked weakly. "Anybody in here?!" A younger voice called out. "Here!" Louis yelled back, instantly recognizing the voice to be Violet's.

The blonde girl ran up to their cell, opening the latch and moving to do the same for Omar. "C'mon, we gotta go!" She said in a loud voice. "Wait! Violet!" Louis called back, making her turn quickly. "We don't have the time--" he cut her off. "Clem was beaten. She can't walk." He ushered her inside their cell, where Clem still sat weakly, occasionally coughing but smiling to see Violet nonetheless. "Oh Clem..." She said as she knelt next to her friend. "I'll be okay... I just need to figure out how to walk..." She nodded to Violet, who now looked at Louis. "We got the rest of us on deck fighting. Took them by surprise, and we haven't lost anyone. Take Clementine and get her back to the school, or... We have their prisoner cart. Take her and put her there, we'll be heading out soon." Violet nodded and jogged back up the stairs, meat cleaver in hand.

"Okay, Clem. How're we going to do this?" Louis asked, helping her to stand. He put her arm over him, holding her waist and trying to help her walk. However when she walked forward, she only collapsed and yelped from pain. "Sh*t." Clem breathed heavily, trying to ignore the pain. "Well that isn't working..." She said. "Okay, I have an idea. I won't exactly be able to fight this way, but maybe you can if we need." He said. Without warning, or consent, he picked her up, holding her legs in one arm and her back in the other, hand around her waist. "Louis!" She exclaimed, blushing furiously as he held her in his arms. "We gotta do it Clem." He said as he started walking, although she knew he was blushing as well. "Just don't tell the other school kids about this..."

At the end of the day, no deaths and everyone had returned to the school. Everyone's wounds had been treated, and the Delta was eliminated. Even Lilly. There was only one loss... "What's wrong?" Louis asked the girl who sat sadly on the bed. "It's stupid, really..." Clementine shook her head. "What?" He pushed. "It's just my hat. You know how important it is to me. That's like, half the reason I got punished in the first place." She breathed, looking down to the healing bruises on her arms. She looked up in shock feeling something snug fit onto her head. "Wha... You got my hat back?!" She reached up, feeling the familiar material squish her frizzy hair down onto her head. "Yup." He smiled proudly. She took off the hat, placing it nicely onto the dresser beside them. "Thanks, Lou. It's nice to have it back, just... Well, I have you now..." She sat up, reaching out and holding his hands. He looked back at her questioningly, thinking back to the kiss. Before he could say anything however, she kissed him gently, smiling as they pulled away. "Huh, I guess you do... Glad to say I have you too." He said, giving her another kiss.
