Weapon Of War (Clementine x Louis)

Chapter 1: Hand Shake?

"Thank you for your service."

A line of men stood saluting the teenager and child that they had fought long side for several years.

Before entering the plane that would take the two back to a place neither could remember she turned around. She held her hand to her forehead saluting the soldiers that had watched her grow. She was saddened and scared to leave what she had known, but she was trained to never show weakness in the eye of fear. With a swift turn she entered the plane. Saying goodbye to her home.

Clementine Everett has been living on a military base for 8 years after being found in the rubble of her destroyed town. With her parents gone and her on her lonesome Lieutenant General Everett took her in. He trained her. Soon enough she became their weapon. They were settled in Ctrigall. Lieutenant General Everett taught Clementine everything she knows. Including English. Even down to his last breath he was still teaching the young girl.

Clementine ended up taking in a new born baby who's parents didn't make it. She followed her Lieutenant's footsteps. She promised that she would protect the child with her life. Just like he did for her.

They were in America now. Clementine and AJ had been enrolled into Ericson's Boarding School For Troubled Youth. Neither were troubled in ways that regular kids would be. They needed guidance in this new world of theirs. So the Military sent them there thinking it was their best bet.

Both were wearing their uniforms. Neither of them owned much civilian clothing. Once they exited the plane with their carryons that held what little they owned the two made their way over to a man in a suit holding a sign with her name on it.

In the process of walking the two kept receiving strange looks from the civilians in the airport. It was not uncommon. The man looked them up and down. "Thank you for your service."

Clementine gave him a nod and they made their way out to his vehicle. "Clem are we going to be okay? In this new place that is." AJ had a firm grip on her arm while they drove down the dirt road.

She took a deep breath making contact with his worry filled eyes. "I'll protect you no matter what goofball. You don't have to be scared." He nuzzled into her chest and closed his eyes. Funny, she knew that he would feel safe and reassured with her presence but her fear was ripping at her stomach. This was new to her as well. Soon enough her mind calmed and her eyelids grew heavy. Before she knew it she had drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

A large slam startled Clementine awake. Immediately, she felt around for her knife. When she couldn't find it her eyes darted around her surroundings. A cold hand grasped hers. It was AJ "It's alright Clementine. We are at the school."

A wave of realization drown Clementine. Her door hesitated to open. It was the driver. He looked scared. "I apologize if I scared you, sir."

She lifted herself from the car helping AJ out as well. An old man was standing in front of a large gate accompanied by an older lady. "You must be the soldiers?" The man asked in a gruff voice.

"Yes sir, we are." They both stood with a straight posture, shoulders back and chin held high. They were trained to give respect to those that held authority.

This took both the adults by surprise. They had become used to the smartass responses and little respect from students first arriving. "I am the headmaster here. Mr. Ericson. This is the school nurse Ms. Martin. She will show you to your dorms."

"Dorms? Does that mean we will separated Clementine?" AJ pleaded.

Kneeling down to his level, Clem let her shoulders relax. She placed her hands on his shoulders. "AJ this isn't like at the base. Females will be separated from males. No exceptions. You can come get me if you begin having your dreams again."
