Sophie glanced up at the brunette, who was now staring at her in awe. A small smirk spread across Sophie's face as she aimed the gun towards Clementine, taunting her.
"Miss me?" She snickered, her smile growing bigger. Clementine snapped out of her daze before scowling at the girl who had now become a monster. She shook her head slightly before snapping.
"What. The fuck. Is wrong with you!?" She yelled. Tears starting to brim around the edges. Clementine clenched her fists in anger. "Look what you've become, Sophie. Fucking look at you! You're killing your own friends who've cared for you for such a long time!"
Sophie shook her head, a frown replacing her smirk. "No. No, they haven't. Shut the fuck up." Clementine could tell that her words were getting to her. So she continued.
"You're a monster, Sophie! A monster! Shit, you even killed your own sister, you killed Tenn!"
Sophie's eyes slowly widened. "What..?" She whispered. "Tenn... he's... dead..?"
"Yes, because of you."
Tears started trickling down Sophie's face. The gun trembled in her hand before it dropping to the ground. She fell on both her knees, burying her face in her hands while sobbing. Everyone who was sitting, now slowly stood up on both legs, gazing at the weeping girl. Michael looked around frantically, locking eyes with Clementine and his eyes darkening with anger. He picked up gun, raised it up, and pulled the trigger.
Clementine's body collapsed to the floor.

Clem woke up in someone's arms. The person was walking. Thinking it was raider, She squirmed but whimpered when she felt a large amount of pain coming from her stomach. Then, came a voice from above.
"Shh, shh, baby, it's okay. It's just me." Clementine glanced up, locking eyes with Louis. She shifted a little bit, trying to get more comfortable. But once again, groaned from the pain. "I know, darling, I know. Does it hurt?" (OK, I know this is probably going to make y'all SCREAM IN THE CHAT so tell me what your reaction was in the comments. Thanks! <3)
The girl nodded meekly. Louis frowned, feeling pity for the girl.
"Michael shot you."
"Is... he still... alive?" She stuttered, struggling to get the words out. She clenched her stomach, surprised about how much pain there was. "F-fuck. Why does it hurt so much?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's because you got shot there before? I'm not a doctor, Clem."
Clem let out a small laugh before releasing a hissy sound. She glanced around and saw the rest of the school walking with their heads hung low.
"Where are we going..?"
"We're leaving. It's too dangerous to live there any longer." Louis said, now hanging his head low. "I just... leaving everything behind. That school... was my whole life. Where me and Marlon became friends, when I had my first fight with Violet, told my first joke, had my first kiss... with you. And all that... is gone. Just because some jackasses decided to ruin all of that."
"I'm sorry, Louis. If I hadn't surrendered myself, none of this would've happened."
"It's not your fault. By doing that, you actually saved all of us."
Clem looked down at the ground, a tear dropping from her eye. "I still can't believe it. Everything is gone." Louis frowned as he tightened his grip on the girl.
"...When you told off Sophie. She cried. She actually cried. Because Tenn was dead."
Clem glanced up him, feeling a pit of guilt in her stomach for what happened with Sophie. "Everyone has feelings. I was just about to burst in tears right then and there."
"I know, but... Sophie has always been the one to say that... We shouldn't let our emotions get the best of us. But... God, how she just collapsed and broke down... Is it bad that I felt bad for her?" Louis mumbled, loud enough for Clementine to hear. She thought about it for a second before replying.
"No, I kinda feel bad. I know I shouldn't have... gone that far. When she broke down in tears, I know it sounds weird... but, I saw myself. But... not just myself. I saw my mom and dad." Tears started trickling down the girl's face. Unexpectedly, a smile formed on her face. "I knew how harsh I was being. I can't imagine how I would've felt if someone said... my parents were gone... because of me right. In. My. Face. I realized... that everyone has their own problems. Secrets. Fears... Even Lilly." Clementine admitted. Louis smiled.
"That's why I love you." He blurted out, making Clementine blush. "You're never afraid to say what you think." Louis chuckled, looking at his girlfriend's red face before kissing her forehead.
"I would slap you if I wasn't practically paralyzed." Clem mumbled, not making eye contact with Louis as he chuckled.
Suddenly, Clementine felt Louis stop in his tracks. She glanced up at his face and saw him with a confused expression. She looked into the direction that Louis was looking at before letting out a small gasp.
Right there, in front of the whole group, was Delta. Instead of it being in it's normal state, it was burned down to the ground, left with nothing but ashes. Clementine sighed.
All of a sudden, she felt Louis fall to the ground, making her come down with him. She landed right on her stomach and groaned in pain, trying her best to hold back tears. Clem looked down, still trembling, to see blood on her hands and on the ground.
Then, darkness.
*
Clementine's slowly eyes fluttered open as she looked around, trying to get used to the new light. She gradually realized that she was in an infirmary before she heard a door open.
"Hello, Clementine." A woman's voice said. A very familiar voice, actually.
Clem shifted her head to take a look at the woman, but had it moved back to it's original position.
"Don't do that. It's putting more stress on your body." The woman ordered. "You don't need to know who I am. I'm just a doctor here to help people. Now, close your eyes. You don't wanna see what I'm about to do. You really don't."
Feeling intimidated by the demanding voice, Clementine obeyed, closing her eyes. She felt her shirt being lifted up. Then, a cloth or some type of gauze on her stomach, probably to clean the blood. All of a sudden, a sharp object moved through the skin on her stomach, making her flinch and slightly open her eyes.
"Stay still. I need to get the stitches right."
Clementine obeyed once again, trying to stay still and not make a sound.
*
After 10 whole minutes of pain, Clem could finally hear the door close. She shot her eyes open, breathing heavily. The door opened once again, thankfully, revealing Louis. He shut the door behind him and walked over to her before connecting his lips with hers. Clem melted into the kiss as he grabbed both sides of her face. They pulled away, making their foreheads touch. Louis let out a small chuckle.
"Are you okay?" Louis whispered, caressing her cheek. Clem smiled as she nodded. "I'm so sorry for dropping you. I saw you land on your stomach."
"Louis, it's okay. I'm fine." Clem reconnected her lips with his, their lips moving in sync. She pulled away, slightly licking her lips. "You're really clingy today, you know that?"
Louis chuckled. "Am I?"
"Yeah... but it's cute."
"Glad you feel that way." He snickered, kissing her lips once again. (Imma make y'all SCREECH)
Suddenly, the door swung open. Louis pulled away and whipped his head around to see Javier standing there with a smirk on his face and his arms crossed. He shook his head as he laughed and uncrossed his arms.
"C'mon, lovebirds. Time to meet the leader."
*
Luke, Javier, and Clementine all made it to the office where the leader was. Javier stepped forward and grabbed the doorknob, turning it. Before he could even open it, the door swung open and revealed the person they thought they would never see again.
"Jesus?" Javi gasped with a perplexed look on his face. Jesus did nothing but wear a small smile. He widened the door while stepping to the side.
"Come in."
The three walked in the office. It wasn't special, just a normal office. Jesus walked behind the desk and sat down in his chair. "As a leader, I want to make sure that my people are safe, wanted, and useful. Now, you want to stay here, eh?"
The three look at one another. "Well, it depends. We don't want to act a burden to the group since we'll be know as 'the people who just came here'. But we need a place to stay, even if it's just for a little bit." Javier replied, his hands on his hips.
"And I completely understand that reasoning. When you saw me at that bridge, you could've tied me up, or killed me. But you didn't. I like you, Javi. You're a good man. That's why I'm giving you the choice. Do you want to become a new resident of Kingston?"
