Clementine's POV

I wake up in a random room. The first thing I noticed is that AJ isn't in the room.

Clementine: AJ! 

I sit up, but my arm was tapped on the bed. I take off the tape, I then see Y/N laying on another bed. He had a bloody bandage on his head, which scared me.

Clementine: Y/N!

I quickly get up and run to him, I check his pulse. 

Clementine: You're alive! Thank god!

I start shaking him violently. 

Clementine: Y/N! Y/N! Wake up!

Y/N's POV

Someone was violently shaking me. I wake up to see Clem shaking me. Once Clem sees I'm awake, she hugs me tightly. I hug her back with one arm, because my other arm was tied to the bed I was on. 

Y/N: Whoa, hey, it's alright. I'm fine.

We let go of each other. I then get my arm free.

Clementine: Are you sure? Your head is bloody and bandaged.

I then feel my head to feel the bandage.

Y/N: I don't think I'm bleeding anymore Clem.

Even telling Clem how I was fine. She still put her hand on my head, feeling the bandage. 

Clementine: And AJ is gone, I don't know where he is.

Y/N: We will find him.

Clementine: I hope he's alright.

I kiss her forehead.

Y/N: We will find him. I promise.

She smiles. We then start looking around the room. We check the closet to see a box. Clem tries to reach the box, but because of her height, she can't get it. She was going to get a chair to stand on, but then I just reach and get the box. I then give Clem a dorky grin.

Y/N: Man, it must suck being short.

Clementine: I'm not short! You are just tall.

Y/N: Nah. Your short.

Clementine: Shut up dork.

We search the box. It was filled with lots of art supplies. But we then find a palette knife.

Y/N: We can unlock the door with this.

Clementine takes the knife and is able to get the door open. We walk out of the room and into a hallway. We then hear someone coming, we both hide next to a dresser in the hallway. We see a kid with a scar on his face coming to our room. He sees we are not in the room, he gasps and takes out a knife. Me and Clem get up and walk towards him.

Y/N: We're right here.

The kid gets startled and puts his hands up.

Clementine: Drop the knife.

???: I think you should do the same.

We look to our right to see a guy aiming a bow at us. I get in front of Clem.

???: I won't hurt you guys unless you make me. We got your boy, he's safe.

Clem drops her knife. The guy puts his bow away and walks to us.

???: See? We're not gonna hurt you. I'm Marlon, and this little guy is Tennessee, we call him Tenn for short. He's been taking care of you two, and he doesn't really talk much.

Y/N: Y/N.

Clementine: Clementine.

Marlon: Sorry about locking the door and tying you guys to your beds. You guys were in rough shape, especially you Y/N. We thought you weren't gonna make it. 

Clementine: Well thank god he did.

Y/N: I'm fine, Clem. What about our boy? Is he hurt?

Marlon: Just a few scratches and scrapes. Like Clem here. Let's go see him.

We then follow him out of the school. We walk outside to what looks like a courtyard, was this a school? We see people walking and doing their jobs.

Marlon: So, you two have been out there a while, huh?

Y/N: We have been on the road for a while.

Marlon: You two know how to handle yourselves?

Y/N: Yeah.

Clementine: We have been through a lot.

Marlon: Wasn't easy getting you three out of that wreck, and walkers were on the way. 

Clementine: The car... was it totaled?

Marlon: Yeah. It was completely flipped over.

Y/N: Fuck.

Then a weird looking kid was staring at me and Clem.  

Y/N: Uh... hi?

The kid runs away.

Marlon: Oh! Uh... yeah. Don't mind him. You're new! We haven't seen anything like you two in well, ever?

Clementine: What is this place?

Marlon: You could tell it used to be a school. But now, it's whatever we want it to be, I guess.

Y/N: Who leads this place?

Marlon: That would be me. I know "kids run by a kid"? But we make it work. We do alright for ourselves.

Clementine: No adults?

Marlon: We did have adults, people die, people leave. There were more of us. 

Y/N: Sorry to hear that.

Marlon: Allow me to make this formal. Welcome to Ericson's Boarding School for Troubled Youth! You two and your boy fits that description pretty well.  

Clementine: You got us wrong, Marlon. We are pure angels.

Marlon: I can't speak for you guys. But your boy is decidedly not.

Y/N: Excuse me? 

Marlon: He hasn't been happy without you two around, he's been a little terror ever since we got here.

???: Yo! Marlon! We've got walkers on the fence!

Marlon: Shit, I gotta take care of this. Find Louis in the piano room, he's been looking out for your kid.

Y/N: Louis?

Marlon: Just go into that big building and follow the music.

He runs off to deal with the walkers on the fence.

Y/N: Well, let's go get AJ.

Clementine: Yeah.

We walk towards the big building.
