“Here we are!” Kenny stated with a smile, adjusting his backpack straps with one hand while placing the other on Clementine’s shoulder. Clementine frowned as she stared into the wasteland of a city that she used to call her home.
“Why are we here again?” Nick called from the back of the group, slowly pushing his way up to the front.
Kenny scowled and turned to the man as he began to explain. It was no secret that the two didn’t get along, they always liked to push each other’s buttons when they could. “We’re here to find a sturdy house to stay in until Rebecca has her baby.” Kenny sighed. “And hopefully outrun Carver.”
Knowing that this was the only way to go, Clementine started forwards down the trashed, empty road with the rest of the group in tow. While she prayed that she never needed to come back here, she knew that it was for the safety of everyone that they did so.
“Hey! Watch it!” Clementine whipped around upon hearing Carlos’s cry as he slammed a knife into a walker’s head that was lurking towards them from in-between two houses. He swiftly kicked the body off of his knife and sighed upon seeing the body against the road. “What a world…” He grumbled.
Sarah jumped slightly, striding closer to Clementine as the scene was happening, Clementine firmly standing her ground as she did so.
“Keep moving.” He grumbled, slipping the weapon back into his pocket. But as they wandered deeper into the abandoned city, more and more walkers slowly lurked closer to them.
Luke placed a hand on Clementine’s back, ushering her forwards through the growing mob. “Watch out kiddo.” He whispered softly.
Clementine turned her head to the right and froze, refusing to move in her spot. “Mom…” She said quietly. Turning a little more to her left she sighed quietly. “Dad…”
Hearing the young girls fragile voice, Luke stopped and followed her gaze. “Those are your parents?” He asked, his heart shattering with every word. Clem nodded, taking a step away from them in defeat. “Clem…”
“Hey!” Kenny yelled from behind the group. He swung his gun against the side of a walker head, refusing to use any of his bullets to attack more. “It’s ok. I got it.” He said with an irritated sigh and glare towards Nick, whom was pushing the body’s off the road.
Clementine heard a small grunt from her side and turned to see Luke fighting off her zombie-fied mother and father. “No!” She cried in sadness, quickly taking a few steps forwards towards the three.
“Clem! Stay back!” He yelled, struggling to push them off. Their rotten bodies loomed over his own, getting ready to attack whenever his arms gave out. He wouldn’t be able to hold onto two walkers alone, and all the others were too busy clearing the road of other ones to help him.
It was up to her.
“Clem, go! I can take care of this!”
With shaking hands, Clementine slowly removed her hammer from her back pocket. The sweet memories that the three shared flashed before her mind as she gripped her weapon tightly and lifted it over her head. With a tiny sob and cry of pain, she slammed the edge of the hammer into her mother’s head. She didn’t care that she disobeyed Luke’s orders, he was her caretaker now and she needed him around.
Sobbing loudly she unhooked it from her body and proceed to do the same with her father. The sobs and cries caused the rest of the group to gather in the center of the road and watch the scene unfold. Clementine angrily removed her father’s body from her weapon and dropped her hammer against the road. The echo of metal off pavement was the only sound that could be heard throughout the street. Silence enveloped them, the scene replaying before her eyes.
Luke panted as he stood and stumbled towards the young girl, placing his hands on her shoulders. “Hey, it’s ok.” He said softly, trying to calm the shaken child.
“What’s up with her?” Nick grumbled, but Clem was unable to hear over her soft whimpers.
Luke shot him a cautious gaze as he wrapped the young girl in his arms and placed his dirty hand on the back of her head. He mouthed the word ‘parents’ which hushed the group immediately as they urgently glanced at each other. As if their eyes could somehow tell the rest of the story.
Gathering the fragile girl in his arms, Luke nodded forwards and encouraged the others to go ahead of them.
Luke stayed at the back, hushing the shaken girl as they wandered deeper into the city. “I’m really sorry, Clem.” He said quietly. “But I promise, I won’t leave your side.”
Gripping onto his shirt in her hands she nodded. “Thank you.”
“Anything for you, Clem.”
