Chapter 9

Clementine's POV

Someone was shaking me awake. I had no clue who it was ,but I know it wasn't Carl because he was laying right beside me and I don't think it was one of the adults because the hand was small.

"Clementine wake up"

"Come on Clem wake up"

It was obviously Duck.

"Clem wake up" he barely slapped my cheek

"Why do I have to get up" I groaned

"Daddy wanted me to wake you up so we could go somewhere "

"Where are we going" I mumbled

"I don't know" Duck said

"OK I'll get up but give me a few minutes to get ready"

"OK"  Duck said excitedly and ran back to his cell

I shut the curtain and made sure Carl wasn't awake.

I changed my clothes and put my hair in pigtails. I put my shoes on then I put my hat on my head. I turned around and saw Carl awake

"How long have you been awake" I asked

"I just woke up but don't worry I only saw you put your hat and shoes on" Carl replied

"So why are you up so early" Carl asked

"Duck woke me up. I'm going somewhere with him and Kenny".

"Cool, can I come"

"I don't know you have to ask Kenny"

"I'll go ask him right now"

Carl got off the bunk and walked to Kenny's cell.

I got bored so I grabbed my purple backpack and started digging through it. I grabbed a picture of Kenny,Katjaa, and Duck that I drew when I was 8. Then I grabbed a picture of Lee. I was on the verge of tears. Carl walked in. I quickly shoved the pictures back into my backpack.

"Kenny said I could come" Carl said

"OK" I said turning away from him I didn't want him to see me like this.

"What's wrong"

"Nothing"

"You can tell me"

"I just really miss Lee " I said with a tear falling off my cheek

"I bet you do" Carl walked toward me and hugged me

I cried on his shoulder.

"Its okay Clem" Carl coed

"No its not. I should've never ran away its my fault why Lee is dead"

"Its not your fault "

"It is"

"Don't say that. nothing is ever your fault"

"If you say so" I said still crying

I pulled away and looked Carl in the eye he used his thumb to wipe the tears.

"Thank you Carl" I hugged him again

"No problem"

"You should probably get ready Carl"

"Ya I should"

"I'll go get something to eat while you get dressed" I said and walked out of the room.

I walked into the cafeteria and was greeted by Sam

"Hey boy how are you" Sam barked

"I'm guessing your hungry"
