When The World Went To Hell

Fear the Living More

(Vincent's Pov)

The night had left us quickly only to be replaced by the sun shining bright and high in the sky. I had gotten up from my bed as I woke myself up, after years of waking up early we didn't need our old clocks to wake us up anymore. I slowly got out of the bed and grabbed my shirt and vest jacket as I walked out the room to see Clementine going up the stairs.

"Morning." I say and she turns to me then away.

"Sorry um shirt." She mumbles and I chuckle as I put my shirt on along with my vest as I come up the stairs.

"You looking for Marlon?" I asked and she nods.

"He told me to meet him in his office." She says and I nod as I go up the stairs with her and take her to Marlon's office. When we got in we saw AJ and Tenn arguing a bit.

"You don't even know what it is." Tenn says as he tried to grab something from AJ's hand.

"Whoa, keep the peace, what's going on" I asked.

"This is mine." AJ says as he shows the toy.

"AJ, I didn't teach you to act like this." Clementine says and I look to her and then to AJ who looked down at the ground.

"AJ that's Tenns' give it back." She says and I watch as He hands the toy back and he runs out the room. I rub my neck a bit not really understanding on what to do at this point.

"Sorry he just.... I'm sorry." She says and I look to Tenn as he picked up his toys and left, saying something about how he's going to go find Marlon or something.

"It's fine, he hasn't really been around kids so he doesn't know how to share." I said.

"No, he's been around kids but.... They didn't really share, or that's what he's told me." She says and crosses her arms and I look to her a bit confused.

"You've been around more kids?" I asked as I lean on the desk and cross my arms as she looked to me then at the floor.

"Not really.... It's not a story I like to tell." She says.

"You don't have to, you don't need to feel obligated to tell me or anyone about yourself, same with us though, I mean I haven't told you everything about me so, fair is fair." I explained and she nods her head as I watch her more.

"I... I'd like to tell you guys someday, but AJ and I might be gone before we get that fair." She says and I look at her a bit.

"Gone?" I ask.

"Well, we tend to not stay in a place for too long, either Walkers come tear it down or the living get to snooping." She says.

"Oh no one can find this place unless they get lost in the woods or we forgot to take a sign down." I tell her as she looks around.

"I mean, we've lasted what? Eight years with not having to deal with people." I said and she giggles a bit.

"God it's been that long hu?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yea, Aasim likes to keep track of dates, so it's been eight years." I say as she takes her cap off her head.

"You want to know something about me?" She asked as I look at her cap.

"Sure."

"But in return you have to tell me something about yourself." She says and I nod.

"Basically, like twenty questions, but we say one thing about ourselves." She says and I nod as I look to her face as she caresses a section of her hat, it looked to be mud.
