Chp.12

-AUTHOR's POV-

Outside the building, at the Greenhouse, Clem and (YN) arrives and spot Mitch and Ruby waiting for them...

Mitch: Took y'all long enough.

Ruby: Mitch.

Mitch: ....

Ruby: Anyways, we try opening the door, and it's budged. Guess it's been a while since we haven't gone here, so much has changed.

(YN): Yeah, like the windows seem foggy and can't see inside.

Mitch: ....Guess there was too much condensation on inside.

Ruby: Condensation? Heh, that's a pretty big word for you.

Mitch: Oh shut up. Besides, there has to be another way to go inside.

(YN) approaches to the door and holds the knob...

Mitch: *sighs* Look I am really trying my best to be nice here, the door is budged, Ruby and I tried opening it, no way we can-

(YN) gives a tackle boots towards the door, and knocking it down, managing to go inside the greenhouse...

Mitch: Go..in..

(YN): Just Gotta give a little kick to it.

As the entered, they spot two walkers in the greenhouse and notices them...

Ruby: Oh crap!

Mitch: Great, walkers.

(YN): I got this.

Mitch: What?? You don't even have a weapon.

Clementine: It's alright, he's got this Mitch.

(YN) approaches to the two walkers, and to swing punches to one Walker, knocking it down and stomping its head, and goes for the other, kicks it's knees, dropping the Walker down and to kick its face and stomping it and killing both walkers.

Mitch: Huh, not bad...I guess.

Ruby: Woah, look at these plants: Wild ginger, eastern prickly pear, Jerusalem artichoke, false Solomon's seal.

Mitch: Yea, that's good and all, but let's find the barbed wires and anything else that can be useful.

And so, they roam around the room a bit to look for barbed wires and anything else useful...Clem finds a crowbar, which can be useful to defend and attack, and (YN), luckily he found another weapon, that's he's always like to use, a baseball bat.

(YN): Jackpot.

(YN) keeps it, Clem approaches to the cabinet , uses the combat to pry it open. Once she does, everyone gathered and to then find the barbed wires.

Clementine: Found them, a lot of it too.

Ruby: That should be enough to keep them off the walls.

Mitch: Oh hey look! We can use these.

Ruby: Bags of dirt? For what?

Mitch: We can make bombs out of these.

Clementine: Serious??

Mitch's Totally, kind of stuff like this I use to do back home.

Ruby: He use to blow shit up, that's why he's a trouble youth.

Mitch: Heh, guilty.

(YN): You make bombs too??

Mitch: Yeah...you??

(YN): Yea

Clementine: Mitch's isn't the only one here, (YN) use to make bombs back when we were kids.

(YN): Guilty, not guilty.

Mitch: Haha, nice. But, if we're gonna make some, we need some propane and something to create a spark, and we'll have a nice little homemade explosive.

(YN): ...Look.

They all notice there's another room on the greenhouse...

Clementine: It leads to another room.

Mitch: Oh yea, I think there use to be a science room there. There's gotta be propane there.

Mitch places his ear on the door to listen for any walkers inside....so far nothing.

Mitch: Okay, let's check inside.

He opens the door as he and the others entered in, they spot a Walker stuck on a fence...

(YN): Mm, no need to kill it.

Suddenly, Clem and (YN) notice Ruby looking upset by looking at the Walker, as if she knew that Walker before it was human...

Ruby: Oh my gosh...

Clementine: You..know her?

Ruby: ...Ms.Martin, our nurse at school. She was the only one that stayed, with us. God..she looks...she looks like we barely recognize ....

Clementine: I'm sorry Ruby.

(YN): I know how you feel.

Ruby: ...I just wish I could make her look like how she used to. One day we came out looking for food, walkers attacked us. Thought we could fight them off, but...there was just too many. Ms.Martin told us to run, so we did. She was the one that taught me to patch people up, stitch, local anesthetics, painkillers, fever reducers...I don't think..I can take care of her...would you? ..I'm sorry.

(YN) and Clem felt bad for Ruby, they can feel her sadness of seeing someone who they truly care before they even turn into a Walker...the same thing it happen to them...with Lee. So, (YN) takes care of Ms.Martin, wielding his bat he found...and takes one good swing, and hitting her, busting her head open and was dead for good.

(YN): Sorry. But, least this bat is still holding up.

Clementine: ..You okay?

Ruby: I'll be fine...let's just look for what Mitch needs for his bombs.

And with that said, they roam around the little room to look for a propane and something to spark...Clem finds an igniter...

Clementine: Can this be useful?

Mitch: Fucking-A, nice. And yea, we can definitely use to create a spark.

(YN) looks through the cabinets, and to find a propane, and pulls it out and can feel it has enough gas...

(YN): Found a propane.

Mitch: Nice. Come on, let's go back, we got what we needed.

Ruby: ....We have to bury Ms.Martin.

Mitch: What? Bury her? Why? We can just burn her, she's a Walker.

Ruby: No. She's the reason we are all alive. She deserves a proper burial. Next the greenhouse she loves. That way, they don't have to see her like this, just like we did with Brody.

Mitch: ....

Clementine: We can help you bury her.

(YN): Yeah, It's the right thing to do for someone you cared about.

Ruby: Thank you so much.

Mitch: ...Fine, there's shovels at the other room heading out. I'll grab em.

Later, outside the greenhouse, Clem and (Yn) helped Ruby bury Ms.Martin next to the greenhouse for her to remember...

Ruby: I'll put a stone at the graveyard, back at the school. But Ms.Martin loved this place, she'll be happy here. I'll make sure everyone else you two helped. You two have a good heart.

Clementine: Thanks.

(YN): We appreciate it. Come on, let's help Mitch take the stuff back.

-TIMESKIP TO NIGHT-

Later that day, it was night, Violet convinced everyone about the situation and Clem and (YN) is gonna help. It will take some time to trust them, but they understood. So they all got everything they need for defense to start to start tomorrow before Lilly and the raiders show up. Clem and (YN) both went to their dorms and to see AJ resting still.

(YN): How is he?

Clementine: Better, fevers gone already.

(YN): Good to hear.

Suddenly, someone came into their dorm, and it was Louis, and brought some clothes.

Louis: Hey.

Clementine: Hey.

(YN): Yo.

Louis: Brought him these since his shirt is ruined from...you know.

Louis brought three separate sweaters for AJ to wear...

Louis: They were Tenn's back when he got here, should be AJ's size...how's he doing?

Clementine: Better, his fevers is down.

Louis: That's good.

(YN): Also...thanks for keeping an eye on him, for us. Vi told us when we were out at the greenhouse.

Louis: No problem. Which means we got the greenhouse again...and bombs?

(YN): Mitch's idea.

Louis: Heh, figures. Violet said says we're gonna start getting this place ready tomorrow.

(YN): Yeah

Louis: And...they all seemed okay by letting you guys stay.

(YN): Serious?

Louis: Not saying how we feel about it...just glad the drama is over, and keep focusing forward. Even though what happen...I'll try to forget it.

(YN): ...

Clementine: Just be glad we came back to help you guys, not asking for forgiveness, but we do care for you guys.

(YN): Besides, you saved us from the car crash, so we Owe you guys still. And then after we're done dealing with the raiders and Lilly...we'll leave, for good.

Louis:..Not saying you'll have to leave after this, but...I don't know how the others feel yet. So, we'll have to see. But Thanks. Anyways, I'll leave you guys be. See y'all tomorrow.

Before Louis leaves...

(YN): Louis...I know we said clearly we don't want forgiveness, but...I'm sorry for Marlon. I know he wasn't perfect and all, and what he did was messed up, but...he was your best friend still.

Louis: I know...but, I can see he wasn't himself when that happen. But, you were right about one thing from him...he was a murderer, for killing Brody...but like I said...I'll try to forget it. Night.

Louis leaves the room...

Clementine: You think...they'll at least let us stay after this? I mean, they seem okay with it.

(YN): I don't know Clem, we'll have to see soon after this. But, let us not speak too soon though, we'll see how it goes day by day.

Clementine: Yea, okay.

(YN): Yea, come on, let's get some sleep.

Both Clem and (YN) lay down on their beds together as (YN) wraps his arm around Clem and her snuggling on (YN)...

Clementine: Night (Yn).

(YN): Night Clem.
