No Going Back

The walkers began to pound on the front door. "Fuck!" Luke cursed, quickly getting to his feet. The disturbance outside caused the baby to start crying. Luke grimaced at the screaming infant and placed him down on the counter so that he had free hands. "Keep an eye on him" he told Clementine "Now wake everyone up, I'll keep the walkers out" he said, running towards the door and holding it still.



Clementine ran up to Bonnie and shook her awake. "Wh-what's happening?" Bonnie groaned, her voice thick with sleep.

"We're under attack from walkers, you have to help!" Clementine cried.

"Jesus Christ" Bonnie breathed as she got up. 

Clementine ran over to Kenny and nudged him. He woke up with a start "Oh... Clem.. It's you.... Wait, what's goin' on?" 

"Walkers" Clementine replied plainly. 

"Dammit" Kenny grumbled. "Those fuckers always turn up at the wrong time" 

"They're blocking the front door!" Luke yelled, struggling to keep it closed.

Clementine glanced around before pointing towards the shutter behind them "Over there!" 

"Good eye, Clem" Bonnie told her as she quickly ran over and attempted to get it open "Shit!" She exclaimed "It's jammed" 

"Find a way to get it open! I'll help Luke keep the walkers out!" Kenny told them, taking out his gun and running over to one of the windows. 


"I'll help Bonnie with the shutter!" Clementine declared. 

"Okay! Just... Just try and do it as quick as you can. We'll hold off the walkers in until then" Luke replied breathlessly as he continued to force all his weight against the door.

Clementine ran over to the shutter "Clem! Thank god, help me lift this!" Bonnie ordered. Clementine took hold of the shutters handle "On three" Bonnie told her. 

"1" 

Clementine adjusted her grip on the handle. 

"2"

She readied herself. 

"3!" 



Gunshots continued and the baby screamed loudly as Clementine glanced frantically around the room for anything they could use, before her eyes fell upon the tool shelf.

(o) Run to tool shelf

Clementine sprinted over to the tool shelf and examined each one.

(o) Look at tool box

There was a tool box on the second shelf "Tools can be used as weapons" Clementine murmured

(o) Open tool box

Most of the tools had been taken, except for a spanner, which could probably put a walker down with a few hard bashes to the skull.

(o) Take spanner

Clementine took the spanner and tucked it into her back pocket "Better than nothing I suppose"

(o) Look at lower shelves

Clementine examined the lower shelves before spotting what she thought was a car jack.

(o) Look at car jack

"Is this what we need?" She called over to Bonnie and pointed at it. Bonnie pressed her back against the door and squinted at the object Clementine was gesturing at.

"Yes!" She exclaimed "Grab it and lets get the shutter open!" She ordered, pushing herself off the door and running over to the shutter. Clementine picked up the car jack and followed her over. "I'll lift it up and you put it in the gap" Bonnie informed her and pulled the shutter open as far as she could.

Clementine rammed the car jack underneath and and grabbed hold of the crank. The sound of crashing came from behind "They're getting in!" Luke yelled.

"Shit" Bonnie cursed under her breath "Hurry, Clementine!"



The shutter opened as far as the car jack could go. "That's enough crawling space, I think" Bonnie commented, ducking down to view the outside world "Oh no" she murmured.

"What's wrong?" Clementine asked.

"There's a ton of walkers out there" she replied, straightening herself up.



"We'll get through them, it's the only way to get out" Clementine stated.

Bonnie sighed "Lets get out of here! She called to the others.

Luke was currently slashing whatever walkers were getting in through the door with his machete while Kenny was aiming through the window and shooting at the walkers making their way towards the building.

As soon as they both heard Bonnie they abandoned what they were doing and ran towards the shutter. Bonnie crawled under first and Luke was about to follow when realisation stuck "Shit, I left the baby!" He yelled.

Kenny whirled around and that the walkers were pouring in through the front down, some were moving towards the baby's cries. "No!" Kenny cried, taking out his crowbar and killing any walker that stood in his path.



"Kenny!" Clementine cried, withdrawing her screwdriver and running after him.

"Clem!" Luke called after her.

Clementine her slashing coming from behind, she guessed it was Luke killing a few walkers with his machete. Kenny was nearing the counter, and several walkers were lying stunned on the ground.

(o) Use screwdriver on walker

Clementine quickly made sure that the walkers on the ground were dead, stabbing each one in either the eye or forehead. Once she had finished off the walkers on the ground she turned her attention back to the live walkers coming in through the front door, one of which was fast approaching and clawing hungrily at the air as it reached towards her. There was no time for her to kick it knee, so she had to try something else.

(o) Attack walker

Clementine stabbed it in it's lower jaw and quickly pulled back before it could take a bite out of her hand.

(o) Attack walker

Clementine stabbed it in it's lower jaw again, this time putting it down., it's body falling limply to the fall, it's skull cracking on impact. Clementine turned away and ran towards Kenny, who had made it to the counter and was currently holding the baby in his ams. A walker was approaching from behind.



"Kenny, look out!" Clementine cried as she quickly pulled her glock out of her waistband.

But it was too late. The walker grabbed hold of Kenny's hair, knocking has hat off in the process, and wrenched him backwards. It proceeded to lift it's head, bearing it's yellow-ish white teeth and then bit down on his neck.

(o) Shoot walker

Before the walker could pull back and tare flesh from bone, Clementine lifted her gun and shot it. Blood sprayed out the side of it's head and it's jaw hung loosely as it fell back, it's head slamming against the counter as it collided with the ground.

"Holy shit" Luke breathed, running up to Kenny and taking the baby from him. Now that Kenny had a free hand, he placed it on the bite mark on the side of his neck.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck" Kenny cursed, his breathing shaking. "I'm dead" he stated bluntly.

"Not yet you're not, come on!" Luke yelled, grabbing Kenny's arm and pulling him towards the shutter. Clementine follows close behind "You first, Clem!" Luke ordered. Clementine didn't argue, instead she lowered herself down and crawled out into the unknown.

Oh, thanks.

I did what I thought would happen in the game. I haven't lost faith in him, but even I have to admit his time is running.

If he lives, then I'll be overjoyed, but I doubt it.
