Chapter 2: No Rest For The Wicked
Clementine: "Hey. Whatcha drawing there, goofball? Can I see? You know I'm no good at this game, but I'll try to guess what it is. Just give me a second... I'll figure it out."
It's just a bunch of long lines with different colors, you stand up and sit next to Clem. The Blue jacket feels cozy with the new clothes.
Y/N: "Is it... Clementine?" AJ smiles and spits some saliva on the floor.
Clementine: "I knew that.." She responds, blushing slightly.
Clementine: "Come on. Can you say "Clem", AJ? Give it a try. "Clem." Clem waits for a reaction but he doesn't speak, "Not much of a talker, are you, goofball? Edith says you should be speaking by now, but... Don't worry about it. You'll talk when you're ready." She says, a strange noise is heard, like a metallic bang through your small room in the settlement.
Clementine: "That was weird."
Edith: "Open up! It's me." She pounds on the door, in fear or desperation you're not sure.
You get up quickly and open the door.
Y/N: "Edith? What's wrong?"
Edith: "The group from last week--they're back. And now they're armed. This is bad, There's a lot of them. Too many of them. I don't like the look of it."
Clementine: "Do you need my help?" She questions.
Y/N: "Clem! No."
Edith: "No, I need you to pack whatever you can. Be ready to run, just in case. They got a lot of cars and they're seriously pissed off. This is...gonna get ugly, I know it."
The Wellington residents start screaming, panic rises in your chest, why, why does this always happen to you two.
Edith: "Pack your stuff. When I get back, we gotta get the hell out."
Clementine: "Shit, shit, shit..."
Clem grabs her backpack. And you grab yours.
Clementine: "Bare essentials...come on."
You take everything you can, but make sure to put Kenny's hat in your bag...
A crashing noise is heard. Edith returns, she holds a small jacket, supposedly for AJ, you pick up AJ and she gently wraps it around him.
Edith: "They're inside! We have to go! Now!" She says after she finishes wrapping it around AJ.
You run through wellington, eventually reaching the empty front gate, the four of you hide behind it as the man on the otherside begins to spray his AK-47 into the panicking citizens.
Edith: "Just--head for--for the woods!"
Clementine: "Keep running!"
Edith is shot in her head, she falls to the ground behind you, you cast a final glance at her before you continue running.
Unknown Person: "I see someone! Near the trees! Fuckin' shoot 'em!"
You try to get out of the way as gunshots ring through the woods, you feel hot blood drip down your cheek as shot cuts through the edge of your right cheeks. You grip it with your left hand.
"Clem, take AJ.. shit." You hand AJ to her and continue to run away, you grab your cheek, a ripping pain flashes through your head again. Your vision blurs but you keep running.
.....
Javier, You, Clem, and Tripp ride in a van down a deserted, cracked road.
Javier: "Hey, Y/N...we almost there? Hey, Y/N?" You put your right index finger on your right cheek, touching the wound, it doesn't hurt but you can still feel out the scar.
Y/N: "Yeah. We're close." Clementine is asleep beside you, resting her cheek against your right shoulder.
Tripp: "I gotta say, I hope your people are safe and sound. Eleanor asked me before we left to make sure of it."
Javier: "Oh, yeah?" You look out the window at the passing trees with brown leaves. Fall sucks, but the summer is worse.
Tripp: "Yes, So that's what I'm gonna do. Though why she went to bat for you, I've got no idea. I mean, she hardly even knows you. And you don't know her, for that matter. Makes a guy wonder, you know?"
Javier: "There's not much mystery to it, Tripp. She's a good human being."
Tripp: "Yeah, Eleanor's got a big heart, that's for damn sure."
Your group reaches the junkyard. Everyone gets out but it takes a little bit of time for you to wake up Clem. Once you do she gets out as well, dazed but still conscious.
Y/N: "Guys. That's the place." Smoke comes from something in the junkyard.
Javier: "Yeah, this is it."
Tripp: "What a mess..."
The junkyard is littered with walker corpses, they lay all over the place, stab wounds and gunshots all to the head.
Clementine: "Jesus, must have been hundreds of them..."
Javier: "Kate's good in a crisis--she'd know how to get shelter."
Clementine: "What's that?" She says, rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
It's a non moving walker but you get the suspicion that it's not fully dead.
Javier: "Goddamn it."
Javier grabs the nearby hammer and kills the walker as it reaches toward him. Javi picks up the cassette player on the ground.
Javier: "Mariana's tape player... Mariana! Mariana, are you here?"
Mariana gets out of a car and runs to Javier.
Mariana: "Javi!"
Javier: "Oh, my god." (Mariana hugs him) "You're safe... I can't believe it!"
Mariana: "You told me where to hide; I just listened to what you said. "Lock yourself in and don't come out, not even once it's quiet." It kept running through my head, like on a loop. I don't even know how long I was in there... Then I heard your voice. I thought I was hallucinating at first."
Javier: "Did they hurt you? Are you okay?"
Mariana: "I hid before they could get to me. I'm fine, really." Everyone stands by waiting for their conversation to end.
Javier: "Kate and your brother--where are they?"
Mariana: "We got pulled apart when that huge bunch of muertos showed up. Kate yelled that they were gonna try to make it back to the van."
Javier: "Then that's where we're headed."
Tripp: "Let's go find your brother, sweetheart."
They find the van in bad shape.
Javier: "Oh, no... No... No sign of 'em. They must have seen it like this, then gone someplace else to hide."
They hear a motor revving.
Javier: "Kate..."
Javi finds Kate and Gabe trying to start a truck while walkers surround it.
Mariana: "They're trapped in there!"
Javier: "Mariana, stay back!"
Y/N: "Stand back, I don't want anyone getting hurt." You unsheathe your knife. You slice the first walkers head with a swing from your right hand. You stab another one and another one. Till finally you reach the truck. The door swings back and forth. A walker has its head in the door so you pull the door back as far as you can.. and smash it. Its head ultimately ends up like a bloody pancake.
Kate: "Javi... You found us."
Kate gets out of the truck and Javi catches her.
Javier: "Hey, hey, it's okay. I got you."
Kate: "You happy to see me?"
Javier kisses Kate.
Mariana: "Gross..."
Kate: "C'mon--I think we get a pass."
Gabe hugs Mari.
Gabe: "I wanted to come after you, I swear I did--"
Mariana: "You don't have to snot all over my shirt about it."
Gabe: "I thought we were dead. Like, never-gonna-see-you-again dead. We only had a couple bullets left... I thought we were done for."
Javier: "No way I would let that happen."
Gabe: "Yeah, well, you weren't here! The herd showed up, and Mariana was gone, and we were waiting and waiting, and then..."
Javier says nothing.
Gabe: "I was just so scared."
Javier: "I'm here now. You don't have to be scared. Hey, you hurt yourself?"
Gabe: (looks at hand) "Must've scraped it in the truck...didn't even notice..."
Javier: "Hey, least it's not a bite."
Javier: "Not much we can do about it here..."
Tripp: "I've got a lady friend who's a doctor. Soon as we get back to Prescott, she'll patch you right up. I'm Tripp, by the way. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Y/N: "We should be getting back. Don't wanna push our luck."
Kate: "Who's the kids with the gun? They have a name you want to share with us? Or you gonna make me do my own introductions?"
Javier: "They're friends.. she's Clementine, he's Y/N"
Clementine: "Hi there. Glad I was able to help."
Kate: "Well, we're very grateful to you. Really."
Javier: "There's a town nearby; it's safe."
Kate: 'I like the sound of that."
The group starts walking back.
Mariana: "Oh, my god. Javi, do they have hot water?! Even, like, lukewarm water would be okay. And bubble bath--wouldn't bubble bath be amazing?"
Javier: "I'm sure they do."
Mariana: "I'm gonna stay in 'til my fingers get all pruney."
Tripp: "Between you and me, these kinds of missions don't usually go so well. But you found every single one of your people. And you found 'em alive. Healthy. Reasonably cheerful. It's a hell of a thing."
Y/N: "Don't Jinx it." You say.
Clementine: "When we get back to Prescott, you still owe us a working ride. I haven't forgotten about our deal. You couldn't have known what happened to your van, but still. I need some way out of here." She stops in front of the van that's crashed into a stop sign.
Javier: "I was hoping you might stay--you know, considering."
Clementine: "Considering...what?"
Javier: "You came all the way out here with me."
Y/N: "Yeah, for the van, not for--"
Mariana: "Cool."
Mariana finds her earphones on her ground. Javi takes out the tape player.
Mariana: "Thanks." BDUMF a sniper shot is fired and a large hole opens up inside the girls face in front of you. Her entire body falls down in front of you as a barrage of bullets rain down upon the group.
Gabe: 'Mari!"
A barrage of bullets is fired at them, and they take cover. You and Clem hide behind the already smoking Van.
Badger: "You fuckin' thieves--you really thought you could just waltz back in here like nothin' happened? I don't think so..."
Kate: "Javi! We can't leave her!"
Kate runs out of hiding and is shot in the abdomen.
Kate: "Shit! Ah!"
Javier: "Kate!"
Gabe runs over to Kate.
Javier: "Stop. Stop!"
Gabe reaches Kate.
Gabe: "Javi! Help! Do something, Javi! Do something!" Javi runs to his family by the barrels with large X's on them.
Tripp: "Jesus. Jesus, I am so..."
Javier: "She just..."
Tripp: "I know, Javi, and there'll be time for all that, but not right now. Kate needs a doctor, which means we gotta go. We got a window here, man. We gotta get a move on before they start shooting again!"
Clementine: "We stay here and we finish this."
Tripp: "Are you fucking nuts? We gotta get the fuck out of here, right now!"
Clementine: 'They already killed one of you--if we don't stop them, they're gonna come after your family again."
Y/N: "Let Tripp help them--you stay with us."
Gabe: "What? No! Javi, you have to come with us! Javi...please!"
Clementine: "Trust me, Javi. We have to end this. Now."
Gabe: "No, Javi, please come with us. Please."
Tripp: "Javi! Come on!"
Javier: "Get her back to Prescott. We'll cover you."
Gabe: "Javi?!"
Javier: "Go with them. I'll be fine."
Tripp: "Give me hand here, kid!"
Y/N: "Just keep firing until they're out of sight, okay?"
Javier: "I'm ready."
Kate, Gabe, and Tripp leave. Clem, You and Javi keep shooting. One of your attackers throws a grenade at you.
Clementine: "Y/N! Don't--" you notice that your the closest person to the grenade, so you grab it and throw it.
