The courtyard was a panicked place, everybody rushing to collect weapon and get into cover. "How long have we got until they arrive?" Clementine asked a seemingly calm Andrew, "I saw a car and a truck, we probably have about a minute or two." He said before retreating to the side of the dorm room.
"Look out for each other, and don't give in." Clementine said to the group.
As the group of Texas Two stood waiting for there imminent enemies a wave of adrenaline, fear and hope could be felt in the air as the distant engines drew close to the school.
Clementine turned to Violet, "Stay safe." She said with hope. "See you on the other side." The blonde responded.

The tumble of the rubber grew louder and louder like a beast outside of the walls, then a loud voice.
"Surrender now, make both of our lives easier!" A gravelly voice boomed from outside the walls.
"Open the gate or all of you will die!" The same voice bellowed.
The air was silent for a moment before a loud banging could be heard at the gate. "We know your in there!" The voice said again.
Again the air was silent and the banging had stopped. Quiet chatter could be heard outside. Then the start of an engine. "There going to ram the gate, everyone move!" Harry said from a height. Then as if on que a truck burst through the iron gates and into the courtyard, a large cloud of dust formed from behind it. Suddenly the crack of a gun shot filled the school, everyone except Harry stayed behind cover. The one eyed man dropped his bow and retried his spear from his side
"Fuck it." He said with frustration.
The man began to run toward the car and into the dust with a loud yell. After a few moments of shouting a gunshot rang out again and the noise stopped.
Clementine peered her head around the table to see the corpse of the ram driver lying on the floor and a group of around eight people all armed with various guns walking strategically towards the school. Clementine took this moment as an opportunity to strike. Drawing her bow she stood up and fired at the raiders, others similarly began to attack, however these people were armoured and only well placed arrows would deliver a fatal blow the others would simply bounce off. "Kill or take them?" The voice boomed again.

The gun and arrow fire rang out for mere moments before They had been pushed back to the last line of external defences. "Violet take the others inside and get somewhere safe, we can hold them of for a moment." Clementine said amid the chaos. Violet did not want to separate herself from Clementine however in the situation she had to make sure nobody would die and took most of the group inside.

Outside the door sat Clementine, James, Sophie and Andrew. They had taken cover behind one of the many man made barricades. "Don't let them get to close and aim for the head." Andrew said as she drew his bow and running over in the direction of the grave yard to get a better line of fire as the others attempted to fight off the well supplied raiders. The battle stood silent for a moment, nobody could be seen directly in the courtyard. They began to scan the area from the safety of cover, until Clementine hear something behind her, as she turned expecting to see one of her friends she was met with the back end of a rife to the face. For a moment she couldn't or hear anything until she began slightly dip in and out of  consciousness.

"What about the other?" A voice asked
"Leave then, we can always come back, tie their hands and put them with the other one." A commanding voice demanded.

The next time she could hear anything she heard the rumble of wheels form inside of a car of some kind. "Can't believe that one eyed asshole killed Mark and Jessy." One voice said to the other "Yeah... Well the girl with the hat only has one leg, guess she'll be in ammunitions with C."

Clementine did not know the distance of the journey she was on or the fate of her friends, family and soon to be Wife. The only thing she knew was that she was going somewhere horrid.

Meanwhile Violet

"Shit, SHIT... they took Clem!" Violet cried as she knelt in the dirt outside the building. The damage to the school and it member were being seen to, a group of people were working to put the gate back up wilts Kate and Ruby took care of both Louis and Aasim who had received injuries during the conflict.

Violet felt a balance of both fury and sadness for the capture of Clementine, her thoughts were broken when Andrew crouched down next to her. "Harry's probably dead, I going to try to follow that truck and find Clementine, that's what he would have done." He said before walking out of the exposed school in search for the Delta
