Twdg Fanfiction - A New Hope

Chapter 7 - Familiar Faces

They started walking towards the ski lodge.

Nick thought he saw something so, he went off the road and into the woods.

“Nick, what are you doing?” Clem asked as she followed him.

“I thought I saw something.” He said to her

And then, they saw a girl with red-head hair.

“Bonnie?” Nick said

“Nick? And who's the girl?”

That's right, Bonnie doesn't know Clementine yet.

“This is Clementine.”

“Hello, I'm Bonnie.”

Clementine smiled at her.

“What are you doing here?” Nick asked

“I am with a few other people...after Carver went missing...Howe's was overrun with walkers…” Bonnie said

“Really?” Nick said

“Yeah, a few of us escape but, a lot of people died.” She said with a sad look on her face.

“So, you're with a small group?” Nick asked

Bonnie nods her head.

Nick smiled “meet us here in an hour or so.”

“Why?”

“Just trust us, Bonnie.” Clem said

“Ok.”

-----------------------------------------------------

They run back on the road and get to the ski lodge.

“Where did you guys go?” Tate asked

“I thought I saw something, we went to go see what it was.” Nick said

“And?” Rebecca asked

“It was nothing.” Clementine said

“That's good.” Luke said

Matthew came out of the ski lodge with three people behind him.

“Guys, this is Walter, Sarita, and…”

“Kenny?” Clem said as she ran up and hugged him.

Kenny had wide eyes “Clementine?”

He hugged her back and then, went to her level. He put his hand on her shoulder as he smiled.

“Small world…” Matthew said with a smile

“We can talk inside.” Kenny said

“Great, I just started dinner.” Walter said

“You sure, it's alright?” Carlos asked

“It’s gonna storm soon, please come in.”

Everyone went inside the ski lodge.

-----------------------------------------------------

After Nick helped Kenny and Luke, he went back inside.

He saw Clementine put an angel on the christmas tree.

“She looks so cool!” Sarah said

“Beautiful, I use to love this time of year.” Sarita said

Nick smiled and Clementine came down, she starts talking to Sarita.

Nick went outside and started walking.

He heard someone behind him, it was Clementine.

“Hey Clem, coming with me?”

Clementine nods her head.

They walk into the woods.

-----------------------------------------------------

They see Bonnie standing there, waiting for them.

“Hey Bonnie.” Clementine said

“Hi.” Bonnie said

“We're at a ski lodge right now...your group can stay there if they want.” Nick said

Bonnie smiled “I'II let you meet them.”

Nick and Clem nod their heads and follow Bonnie.

They walk until they see a fire with people around it.

“Bonnie...who are they?” One guy who looks asian asked

“Calm down Vince, this is Nick and Clementine. They're friendly.” Bonnie said

“Are you sure about that?” A young black guy asked

“Yes, Russell.” She said

Bonnie sighed “Nick, Clem, don't worry about them...they're just not use to strangers.”

“It's fine, Bonnie.” Nick said

Bonnie smiled and pointed to the Asian guy.

“That's Vince.”

And then, two goofy looking guys.

“Those two are Eddie and Wyatt.”

“Hey dude.” Eddie said with a smile.

A short haired girl and black guy with a scar.

“That's Jane and Mike.”

The other black guy. “This is Russell.”

He just rolled his eyes at them.

“He just doesn't trust strangers.” Bonnie said to them.

Nick nods his head.

Two girls who are sitting down.

“That's Shel and her younger sister, Becca.”

The girl next to them.

“And her name's stephanie.”

“Ok, now that you know everyone...want to tell them why you're here?” Bonnie asked

Nick nods his head “we have a ski lodge, it's warm and has a lot of room. You guys can come if you want.”

“That sounds awesome.” Eddie said

“No it doesn't, we can't trust them.” Russell said

“Come on Russell, it's safe and they have food.” Bonnie said to him

“Let's go.” Vince said

Everyone even Russell followed Nick and Clementine back to the ski lodge.
