Alone in a darkened world

The Cabin group part 3

"Carlos bandaged the wound, then he spoke up. 'I wish you hadn't done what you did..." So I questioned him. He accused me of manipulating his daughter. He said something about if she seen the world the way it was, she would 'cease to function.' I thought for a moment, then I apologized. He forgave me then left. Luke came in, holding a bowl of something. 'I.. made ya something if you're hungry.' I smiled. Sitting down at the table, I began eating the food, grateful that I actually got a proper meal in what seemed like months. ' so... what... happened to your parents? If you don't mind me askin.' I stopped eating, and looked at him. 'I mean, I assume what happened to them is what happened to just about everyone's parents.' 'They went on vacation and left me with a babysitter. We went to Savannah to find them, but they were already dead...' Luke's face had a look of pity, and he spoke again. 'It's just that... you're just so young... didn't think you'd make it this far on your own.' That's when I decided to bring up Lee. 'This man found me and took care of me. We met up with other survivors and we all tried to make it, but it didn't work. His name was Lee. He taught me how to survive. He's the reason I keep my hair short...' Luke swallowed, and asked me what happened to him. I hesitated, hating having to bring it up. 'I killed him... He got bit trying to protect me... I was too young and too stupid to do anything... I shot him... ' 'woah..' 'i had to...' Nick walked in. He awkwardly tried to apologize to me, so I decided to forgive him. I mean, we all have to do what we can to protect ourselves, right? Anyway, so he left, and Luke smiled at me. ' So.. What's your plan?' He asked, curiously. 'I don't know... maybe move on.' I simply replied. 'Well, you're welcome to stay here.' Luke smiled again. ' what about the others?' Then he grinned. 'They'll just have to deal with it.' That brought a smile to my face. Pete came in, looking around. He looked at us both, and started talking about... fishing... Then he caught my eye, and smiled. Luke stood up, and left the room with Pete, so I was alone. Not for long though. The pregnant woman walked in, and glared at me. 'oh. You're still here.' That pissed me off for sure. ' I wouldn't get comfortable if I were you.' I decided that was it. She crossed the line. With a smug attitude, I asked, 'whose baby is it?' She looked over at me. 'Excuse me?' 'if it's not Alvin's, then whose is it?' The pregnant woman started to get mad. 'You shut your fucking mouth.' I glared straight at her. 'i'd be nicer to me if I were you. That's just my advice.' I turned around with those last words. 'I knew you were going to be a fucking problem...' so she left. I didn't care."

Curtis looked at Clementine, something about this girl just made him smile. "Woah... talk about an attitude." She smiled, but flinched again. "What's wrong?" "It's my wound..it's aching badly..." William stood up. "Lemme see it." He lifted her shirt slightly, and grimaced. "Damn.. leakin right damn through ta bandage. Imma go get a new one... and some goddamn better stitches." Curtis nodded, and looked at Clementine again. "Maybe... ya should get some rest afterwards. I can hear the rest of it another time!" He ruffled Clementine's hair and got up. "Night." "Night Curtis... thank you..."
