| 12 | - Day 301
You're walking through the train tracks with Rick and Daryl. The latter wanted to go hunting while the rest of the group either stayed at the caravan or filled up at the creek.
It's been over seven months since the farm was overrun. The group has been on the move for while, and Lori was nearing her time to give birth.
For the last several months, you've gotten stronger, smarter, and more experienced with firearms. Clementine also. You can thank Rick and Daryl for that. They took the time to take the both of you under their wings so you can better support the group. Daryl has even started giving crossbow lessons to Clementine.
You were also one of people Rick trusted the most, aside from Daryl. You earned his trust throughout the seven months being with him. He sees potential in you not only as a survivor, but a leader.
Daryl: That's a shame.
The three of you look on in the distance at an overrun prison. You hold you rifle at your side.
You: I bet those inmates didn't get a chance to eat their last meal.
Daryl: Oh, they eating alright.
Rick keeps on looking at the prison, as if an idea popped into his head.
••
Rick began to cut the fence with bolt cutters. You held your rifle as you stood beside Clementine who held a shotgun.
You and the group were trying to get into the prison.
Daryl: Watch your backside!
Once Rick cut a slit into the fence, everybody went through. Glenn then began to tie it back up with some wire.
Rick: Move!
You ran through the gravel path as walkers began pounding against the fences on both sides. All of you made it to the front gate, where Rick surveyed the scene.
Rick: It's perfect. If we can shut that gate, prevent more from filling that yard, we can pick off these walkers. We'll take the field by tonight.
Clementine: So how do we shut the gate?
Glenn: I'll do it. You guys cover me.
Maggie: No. It's a suicide run.
Glenn: I'm the fastest.
You: I can do it.
Rick looks at you and Glenn.
Rick: No. Glenn, Maggie, Beth....you draw them over there and try to pick off as many as you can.
Rick then looks at you, Clementine, and Daryl.
Rick: Clem, Y/N, Daryl, go to that other tower.
You nod, and run with Clementine and Daryl to the tower.
The three of you go up to the tower, and see Rick beginning his sprint towards the gate. You raise your rifle.
POW!
You shot a walker.
BANG!
Clementine shoots one with her handgun.
THWICK!
Daryl shoots one with his crossbow.
Rick finally reaches the gate, and locks it. He then runs into another tower and closes the door.
Clementine: He did it.
You: He's one quick motherfucker.
Daryl whistles at the other survivors.
Daryl: Light it up!
BANG!
POW!
BLAM!
BANG!
POW!
The rest of the group begins to dispatch the remaining walkers. It's not long until the whole yard is clear.
Nearby, Rick is shooting at the walkers with his rifle. He chuckles at the sight of dwindling horde. He may have finally found a safe haven for his family and friends.
••
It was nighttime. Most of the group sat around a fire as Daryl and Rick were on watch. You were eating the rabbit Daryl caught with you on the hunting trip.
Glenn: Yum. Like mom used to make it.
He tosses the bone away.
T-Dog: If we can build a canal, we can have fresh water.
Hershel: The soil is fertile. We can plant seeds, grow things like tomatoes....soybeans....cucumbers.
Carl: Clementines?
That got the attention of Clementine.
You: That'd be funny. Seeing Clementine eat a clementine. Cannibalism.
Clementine nudges your shoulder as the group shares light laughter.
It was nice having some downtime. It feels like forever since you got to do that with the group. Hershel asked Beth to sing "The Parting Glass", in which Maggie joined in as well. Rick came over to have a bite a food, but ended up giving his plate to Lori.
Rick: Better all turn in. I'll take watch over there. Got a big day tomorrow.
Clementine: What do you mean?
Rick: Look, I know we're exhausted. This was a great win. But we've got to push just a little bit more.
Rick explains how most of the walkers are prison inmates and guards, so they know what to expect. He wants to go inside the prison and clear out as much of them as they can, where they can be able to use the cells, the infirmary, and commissary.
Rick: This place can be a gold mine.
Hershel: We're dangerously low on ammo. We'll barely even make a dent before we're in there.
Rick: That's why we go in there and deal with them....hand to hand. After everything we've been through, we can handle it. I know it.
Rick then looks at Carl.
Rick: These assholes don't stand a chance.
••
The next morning, it was time to take the prison.
You went with Rick, Daryl, T-Dog, Maggie, Glenn and Clementine to take down as many walkers using melee weapons. You had a hatchet while Clementine held a machete.
SULK!
Daryl killed a walker that got close to him.
SULK!
You brought down the hatchet onto a walker's head as you got close to it.
SULK!
Clementine chopped into the temple of a walker.
Glenn: Get tight! Get tight!
You backed up so the group can make the circle smaller.
SULK!
Maggie slashed one walker across the face.
SULK!
Rick stabbed into one as the group kept moving forward.
T-Dog saw a riot shield on the ground, and went for it.
Rick: Don't break rank!
T-Dog: We need it!
You: T!
T-Dog pushed a walker with the riot shield and Maggie went over to kill it.
SULK!
The two of them went back into formation with you.
Rick: Almost there.
Suddenly, walkers with riot gear stumbled onto the scene. Daryl tried to shoot an arrow into one but it bounced off it's helmet.
Clementine: Get them from under their chin!
SULK!
You went up to one armored walker and stabbed a knife up into his head. Rick, T-Dog, and Maggie began to do the same.
Rick: Daryl!
The two of them went over to an open gate, and shut it. Walkers began to pound against it.
The area was secure. Now it was time to push in.
••
You followed the group into the cell block, and noticed the empty cells. You each looked through each one to make sure the place was secure. Aside from a couple walkers still locked up, it was. Rick then allowed the rest of the group inside.
Rick: What do you think?
You: Home sweet home.
Rick: For the time being.
The group began to settle into the cells. You go upstairs and find one. You enter it, and throw your bag onto the bottom bunk. You lay beside your stuff.
Clementine: Get your ass up. I'm taking the bottom bunk.
You: I called dibs.
Clementine: Didn't hear ya. Get up.
You sigh, and get up from the bunk. You didn't tell her to go another cell, because you didn't want to. You preferred her to stay in the same cell with you.
You: All right, cellmate. I'll be the top bunk.
Clementine: It's not so bad.
You chuckle, and lay on the bunk.
Clementine: Just don't forget that you're five feet from the ground if you wake up to use the bathroom. I don't want you face planting onto the floor in the middle for the night.
You: You'd like to see that though? Don't you?
Clementine: Honestly, yes.
The both of you laugh, as you share a moment of tranquility.
