Three days later...

After what happened, I ran to my cell and hadn't came out since. I was numb, completely broken by pain. I just sat there everyday staring at my wall and I refused to eat a thing. I felt dead anyway so what was the point of eating, or even breathing? The door opened and I heard footsteps enter. I didn't bother to turn around, I assumed it was Beth attempting to encourage me to eat something. To my surprise it was Jane. I got up instantly and ran in to her arms. My legs began to feel weak and I fell to the floor still gripping on to her. She got down on to the floor too and continued to hug me tightly.

"Hey Clem..." She said as her voice slightly broke. I sobbed in to her chest as she stroked my back trying her very best to comfort me. I sniffled and looked up at her. She had blood on her face, dried and fresh, bruises and cuts on her lips and cheeks.

"W-What happened to you? Why are y-you here? I'm s-so sorry!" I whimpered.

"Hey, hey, it's okay Clem. Nothing I can't handle."

"But you're covered in blood and wounds. Did Arvo send you here?" I asked. She nodded.

"You need to eat Clem."

"Why? What's the point? I'm pathetic and weak." I said repeating the words Carl had told me.

"I know what you're going through right now Clem and I know it's horrible but don't allow it to consume you. You are much better than this, much stronger."

"I don't know if I can." I said staring down at the stone floor.

"You have no choice. Besides how are we going to escape without the help of the almighty Clementine?" She smiled.

"We're going to escape? But how?"

"It might take long but we'll do it Clem. Rick's gotta a plan. Very similar to the one at Carvers." I nodded.

"Okay... I'll do it."

"I knew you would anyway." She smiled.

"H-Have you seen Carl?" I asked.

"Um yeah..."

"What?"

"Clem... There's something you should know."

Carl POV Flashback:

I stood there as I watched my dad get punched in the face repeatedly while Arvo enjoyed every second of it. I could tell because he laughed with every punch he threw. They were all tied to their chairs, tape covering their mouths. Jane attempted to shout and get Arvo's attention but he just ignored her. They all looked to me, their eyes asking me for mercy but I just stood there. My arms folded and I watched it all happen to them.

Suddenly Arvo stopped punching and turned to me. He leaned forward and whispered in to my ear.

"Prove it."

I looked at him confused and an evil smile appeared on his face.

"What?"

"Prove yourself. Hit one of them."

"Which one." I gulped.

"Hm... Michonne." He smiled.

I looked over at Michonne and her eyes widened.

"I-"

"Don't piss me off and say that you can't." He warned.

I didn't say anything. Arvo sighed.
