The Walking Dead Game What Ifs Continued

Continued from Vol. 2. What if 16: What if Clementine was a baby at the outbreak?

Luke, Jane, and their kids during Season 3

Clementine really didn’t like AJ right now, he was screaming, and he’d doodied in his diapie… diaper, and he made Mom and Dad get kicked out because he wouldn’t be quiet. The five-year-old frowned at the sign, “Puh-per-ress-cot. Prescott! We’re almost there AJ!”

The big baby only whined and crapped himself again.

Clementine really—

Everything suddenly became really bright, and really loud. There was a big truck in front of her and AJ, before someone, Clementine recognised him as Rufus, got out of the truck.

“Clementine?!” Rufus ran up to her, before he spotted AJ, “What are you two doing all the way out here?!”

“I’m not telling you.” Sniffed Clementine, looking away from him.

“You’re both—” There was a gunshot, and Rufus fell to the ground, almost landing on top of them. Clementine looked at the dead man, before looking at whoever had shot him.

“That wasn’t nice.” Said Clementine, after AJ started crying.

MD

“Why do you want to get to this Prescott place?” Asked the man, Harvy.

“None of your business.” Said Clementine, as she duct-taped AJ’s pacifier to his face.

“I can just turn the truck around.” Said Harvy, glancing at Clementine.

“And go where?” Asked Clementine, tilting her head, as AJ started to throw a tantrum, “You’re a pensioner.”

“Prisoner.” Corrected Harvy, before scowling, “That’s not important.”

“Then why’s why I’m going to Prescott important?” Asked Clementine, as AJ started to go red in the face, “AJ, we don’t have any diapi-diapers, you can’t doodie yourself.”

AJ let out a loud, wet sounding, fart, before he let out humming wail and wave his hands, punching Clementine in the face. There was a slap, and AJ went still.

“We’re here.” Said Harvy, as Clementine opened the door and clambered out.

“Thanks, Mr. Harvey.” Said Clementine, before running up to the gate and knocked, “Excuse me!”

A man with a big beard and tied back hair looked down, “Wha… you’re a kid!”

“Are there people called Luke and Jane here?” Asked Clementine, really hoping that her Mom and Dad were there, she didn’t want the trip to be wasted.

“Er… yeah.” Said the man, staring at the child and baby, “Why?”

“They’re my… our Momm… Mom and Dad.” Answered Clementine, getting a sigh from the man, before he disappeared. Clementine was worried that he’d left them, then the gate opened, and the man reappeared.

“Alright, c’mon in.” Said the man, jerking his head.

“Thank you.” Said Clementine, politely, “Where are they?”

“In there.” The man pointed at a building, before Clementine heard his talking to Mr Harvey. Clementine went as fast as she could, while holding AJ, who was smacking, pinching, and pulling her hair, all the while, letting out muffled screams as he did. Entering the building, Clementine spotted her Mom and Dad, sitting at a table. Going up to them, Clementine put AJ on the table, making them look at her.

“AJ was calling Walkers,” Said Clementine, as her parents stared at her, “and he had a big doodie in his diapi-diaper.”

Luke frowned, and went to open his mouth to respond to her, before he noticed her bite her bottom lip and look down, recognising the look, Luke sighed, “The bathroom’s over there Clem.”

“Thank you.” Rushed the five-year-old, before running off to where Luke had pointed.

Sighing, Luke looked at Jane, who ripped the duct tape from AJ’s face. For a moment, the boy was silent, before a loud, high-pitched squeal came from him, then he started to scream as he devolved into a tantrum. Using Jane’s collar, AJ pulled himself up and when to hit her, only to lose his balance, and land heavily on his rear, which had the unfortunate effect of making his diaper burst open, ruining the hand-me-down clothes, that had belonged to Clementine, he was wearing.

Clementine, who’d managed to get to the toilet in time, and swindle a juice box out of the man behind the table, came back to the chaos of AJ rolling around in his own filth on the table, kicking and screaming at the world.

Humming, Clementine decided to wander off, that big, flashy, machine looked like fun.

MD

After cleaning, and calming down, AJ, Luke left the boy with Jane, while he looked for Clementine. Finding her wasn’t hard, since she was cackling as she played on Phantom Punch. She was actually doing quite well, so it pained Luke to interrupt her fun.

Clementine whined as she was lifted down from the fun game thing, looking up at her Daddy, whining, “Daaad.”

“Sorry, Clem,” Apologised Luke, setting Clementine on the floor, “but we’re gonna be leaving soon.”

“Is the big baby still shitting?” Asked Clementine, with the bluntness of a five-year-old.

“No, AJ’s all clean now,” Said Luke, before looking at Jane, who was holding onto a squirming AJ, who they had to dress in a onesie because there was no saving the clothes, “we couldn’t keep the clothes, Clem.”

“Okay,” Clementine looked up at him, “do you still have my stuff?”

Luke let out a short laugh, “Yeah, we still got ‘em.”

Luke gestured to Jane, silently telling her to go outside, before he focused on Clementine, “We’ve still got the car, all your stuff is in the trunk.”

“Why’s Mom fat?” Asked Clementine, making Luke pause.

“She’s not fat, Clem,” Said Luke, slowly, “she’s pregnant, it means your going to have another brother or sister.”

Instead of smiling, Clementine scowled, “Great, another Dummy.”

“AJ, ain’t a dummy, Clem,” Said Luke, silently wondering if she was going off the boy again, “he’s your brother.”

“He wanted to stay with the bad people.” Said Clementine, flatly, “I had to tie him up to stop him for going to David.”

Luke sighed, “He’s young, Clem, he’s probably scared.”

Clementine hummed, before she followed him to the car, getting in the back seat, before AJ was put in a car seat next to her. The toddler, red faced and now armed with a rattle, screeched around his pacifier, and hit Clementine with the rattle as hard as he could.

Clementine responded by grabbing the rattle and throwing it out her open door. AJ started belting out loud, theatrical wails, with Luke sighing, before he got out of the car and retrieved the rattle, noting that something was going on at by the front gate, only to find AJ pulling on Clementine’s hair and thumping her head. Clementine didn’t seem upset, merely annoyed, before she drew her fist back and punched the toddler in the face, ejecting the pacifier from his mouth.

“Muh-muh-muh-buh-buwaaaaah!” This time, AJ’s tears were real, with Luke groaning when a wet patch appeared on the front of AJ’s onesie.

There was gunfire from the front gate, followed by a clattering sound behind him. Instead of looking for the source of noise, Luke got in the car and locked the doors, before starting the engine. Looking toward the front gate, Luke could only see a cloud, before a truck appeared and flopped on its side, allowing a bunch of Walkers to crawl out.

Without saying anything, Luke floored it, and the car sped out of Prescott, hitting a familiar looking pair of guys, before they sped off into the night.

By the time Luke’s mind had cleared, they were far away from Prescott, and AJ’s pig-like shrieks got his attention.

“Cwemmeeee hit meeee!” Squealed AJ, hiccupping out words between sobs.

Luke sighed, starting to wonder why both his children said their first words while throwing a tantrum.

My Darling III

The Walking Dead Game Continued

Continued from Vol. 2. What if 16: What if Clementine was a baby at the outbreak?

The Events of Season 1 with Baby Clem

It was alone, cold, wrapped in a fuzzy thing that barely kept it warm. The two things that kept it fed when it was hungry, and clean it when it had messed, had abandoned her. It didn’t even know what it was. The Feedy thingy called it ‘she’, while the Cleany thingy called her ‘the baby’. Whatever a ‘baby’ or ‘she’ was, but it didn’t matter to them, they’d abandoned it. The Feedy thingy had put it in a large box on top of something big, before it abandoned it. Feeling hunger made it hurt, making it start screaming and wailing.

After ages, with it’s voice hurting, it heard something appear above it.

“A baby?” Questioned the thing, picking it up, “What are you doing up here?”

It only continued to scream, trying to make it clear that it was hungry and messy and wanted eats and clean.

Lee frowned at the screaming baby, frowning at the letter, name, and date stitched into it. Then he saw the slip of paper.

“Clementine Crawford-Marsh,” Read Lee, muttering to himself as he read, “date of birth… three weeks ago. What the hell are you doing here? And why would someone leave both you and your birth certificate in a tree house?”

The baby, Clementine, continued wailing. Frowning, Lee looked around, finding a toy rabbit, some diapers, and a pacifier.

It’s cries were suddenly stopped by the big thing putting something in her mouth, almost automatically, it started suckling, opening it’s eyes, it looked at the thing, seeing something that looked a bit like the Cleany thingy. Tears were running down it’s cheeks, as the thing slowly picked it up, checking it over.

Lee winced at the soiled diaper, “Well, I guess that’s some of the reason you’re cranky, huh?”

Continuing to wail, it felt the thing remove its messed covering, it remembered the Cleany thingy calling it a ‘diapie’, before the thing cleaned it.

“Okay, Sweet Pea,” Said the new Cleaner, “let’s get you fed.”

Now slightly less upset, it felt the thing pick it up and carry it away.

Lee frowned at the three creatures lumbering around, before he noticed a hammer on the deck next to the door. Sighing, he looked at Clementine, “I’m gonna have to put you down for a moment, okay?”

Setting Clementine on the floor, getting a discontented whine from her, he picked up the hammer and walked towards the glass door, where three of the creatures were walking around. Pulling the door open, Lee gave a whistle, making one of the creatures come towards him, before he slammed the door on it’s head a few times, before its head cracked open and it stopped moving. He repeated the process with the other two, who must’ve been Clementine’s parents.

Sighing, Lee walked back over to Clementine, who had started whimpering, before he picked her up and walked into the house. After a few minutes, where Lee collected some supplies for Clementine, finding some baby food and formula, before Clementine started crying. Returning to the baby, who calmed down when he picked her up, Lee left the house and went into the street.

MD

After leaving the house, Lee had stumbled upon Shawn and Chet, after helping them get the road clear, Shawn had taken Lee and Clementine to his family’s farm, where they’d met Shawn’s father, Hershel, and Kenny and his family, who were similarly displaced. Hershel had given Lee some extra blankets, as well as a spare onesie, as a precaution against the baby getting sick, especially after Lee told him that Clementine. After carefully positioning himself so he didn’t accidentally roll onto the baby, Lee let himself go to sleep. He had a nightmare about his ex-wife, but after that he managed to get some restful sleep.

The following morning, he’d met Kenny, as well as his son, Duck, and his wife, Katjaa, then he’d helped around the farm, before he spent some time with the baby. There was screaming, and Lee had handed Clementine to Katjaa, before he ran towards the screaming, finding Shawn with his leg trapped under the tractor that had been behind him, while Duck was screaming his head off. Lee helped Kenny pull Duck free, before he turned to Shawn, only for the fence to collapse onto the young man, with the dead tearing him apart.

Hershel had ordered them to leave immediately after, thankfully, he didn’t ask for the stuff for the baby to be returned before they left.

“Bleffffpt.” Clementine blew spit bubbles up at Lee, just as Kenny’s truck came to a stop. Lee had just finished calming the baby down, after Duck laughed at her because her diaper made her look tiny. That got the boy a smack on the back of the head from Kenny and a scolding from Katjaa, Lee then explained that the baby was only a few weeks old, which got concerned looks from Katjaa and Kenny.

“Well,” Sighed Kenny, as Lee slid Clementine’s legs into the onesie, “this is as far as we're going.”

“Then it's far enough.” Said Lee, slipping Clementine’s arms in and buttoning the onesie up.

Everyone got out of the truck, with Lee carefully adjusting Clementine, who blowing spit bubbles, before kicking her legs and squealing. Glancing around, Lee stopped when he saw his family’s pharmacy.

“Look!” Said Duck, pointing at someone hunched over something by a car.

“Hey there!” Called Kenny, waving his arms to get their attention, “You friendly? Truck's run out of gas.”

The person looked up, showing the mutilated face of one of the dead, and the thing turning out to be another person.

“Fuck!” Yelled Kenny, as more dead appeared, surrounding them.

“We're trapped!” Cried Katjaa, as Duck let out a shrill scream, which set Clementine off.

One of the dead knocked Duck over as it tried to attack him, while Clementine screamed and wailed, attracting more of the dead, Lee was almost caught a few times by the reanimated, but he managed to escape before any got him.

A gunshot, followed by the dead that was trying to attack Duck collapsing on the boy and covering him in its blood, made them look to the pharmacy, where a woman with short brown hair, dressed in a shirt and skirt, was aiming and firing the corpses, while a man stood in the doorway of the Pharmacy.

“Run!” Yelled the man, as the woman fired at the dead, allowing them to retreat into the drugstore, with the man padlocking the metal gate keeping the dead away from them. As they stopped, Lee looked around and saw three more people, two men and a woman.

It was nice and not loud, then it was not nice and loud and it got scared and messed in it’s diapie, and now the Cleany was no clean it, and everything loud!

Lee glanced down at Clementine, who was now red in the face.

“We need to shut that thing up!” Snarled the old man that had been bellowing.

“It’s a baby,” Snapped the woman that saved them, “what do you think he’s trying to do?!”

“Oh, I’m sorry, you think those things outside give a fuck?!” Snarled the man, “We’re throwing it out!”

“What?!” The old man’s daughter looked at him, “Are you serious? We’re not killing a baby!”

“Are you leading this group or what?” Snarled the man, which got a dark look from the woman.

“Over my dead body.” Snapped Lee, as Clementine regurgitated her last meal.

Now it hungy! It last yummy goneded up! It now it hungy and messy and cleany no clean and no feedy to feed it!

While the group was arguing over the old man throwing a baby out to die, Katjaa had just finished cleaning Duck up, when she spotted a purple pacifier attached to a spring. Getting an idea, she took the item out of its packaging, and walked over to Lee, before sticking it in the infant’s mouth. Almost immediately, Clementine stopped wailing, and calmed down enough to fall asleep, which allowed her to miss the old man having a heart attack and collapsing to the floor.

Deciding to make use of the sudden quiet, Lee and Kenny took charge, while Katjaa took Clementine and cleaned and changed her, before finding a bottle of water and some formula for the baby, when she woke up.

Lee looked around the office, before the woman that saved him and his group, Carley, confronted him about his past. After clearing things up, Lee decided to take Carley and look for Glenn, the guy who held the door open for them, who’d gone to look for some gas. After getting back from a nearby motel, where they cleared out a load of Walkers, and witnessed a woman take her own life, with Glenn, Lee managed to find some keys on his brother’s moving corpse, which got them into the back room of the drug store, so they could get the medicine Larry, the guy who wanted to throw Clementine out to the Walkers, needed for his heart condition. Things were going well, before the burglar alarm went off, waking Clementine, who resumed her distraught, outraged screaming, spitting out her new pacifier every time Katjaa put it in her mouth. Lilly, Larry’s daughter, told Lee to go ‘calm’ the baby down, with Lee taking Clementine from Katjaa and heading out of the store, into a back alley with Clementine, where the noise was lesser.

Lee bounced Clementine, trying to shush her, as Glenn filled up his car and Kenny’s truck. Larry came staggering out, with Carley and Lilly close behind, the former clutching her purse and gun, saying that Doug, the other guy in the drugstore, was dead, while Katjaa and Duck came rushing out, with Kenny bringing up the rear.

Before Lee even knew what was going on, he was in the back of Kenny’s truck, feeding Clementine a bottle of formula, heading away from the drugstore.

MD

Glenn left pretty soon after they got to the Motel, and Larry told Lee that he knew what he was, and threatened to tell everyone, only for Lee to tell him to do so, since the old man was advocating for killing a baby, he hadn’t even met yet. They set themselves up in the different rooms, with Lee getting one with a crib for Clementine, who was in better spirits and napping with her pacifier firmly clenched between her gums.

Sighing, Lee decided to get some sleep, having a feeling that Clementine was going to act like an alarm clock in a few hours.

Lee was disappointed to find out that he was right.

MD

The first three months of the outbreak, Clementine would spend most of her time screaming her little lungs out, Katjaa had almost thrown a brick at Lee’s head when he said he was going to start giving the baby water. They still had some formula, so they didn’t have to worry about the baby starving.

The same couldn’t be said for the rest of them.

“Bllrb.”

Lilly looked down at the baby in her lap, Carley was on a supply run with Lee, and Kenny was out hunting with Mark, leaving Lilly, her Dad, Katjaa, and Duck alone with Clementine, who was swaddled in her blanket, while dumbly gumming on her fist. Lilly still remembered the disgust she felt when her Dad said they had to kill Clementine, which had triggered an argument where her Dad almost had a heart attack.

“Gehk-heek-heek.” Clementine imitated Carley’s laugh, although it more sounded like the baby was choking on something, or trying to throw up, it actually unnerved Lilly to an extent.

“That thing gives me the creeps.” Larry’s voice made Lilly look at him.

“Clementine?” Asked Lilly, not sure how to respond.

Instead of saying anything, Larry held up a doll that had seen better days, with massive clumps of fake hair and one eye missing, with the other eye pushed back into the head that it look like both eye sockets were empty. And that wasn’t even covering the clown costume it was in. Duck had found it in a dumpster and given it to Clementine.

Who’d taken one look at it, and burst into tears, screaming her lungs out after soiling herself.

“We’re back.” Carley’s voice made Lilly look over, and Clementine coo, “Anything happen?”

“Brrlb.” Clementine aimlessly waved her arms, prompting Carley to climb onto the RV and take the baby, who became more animated as she was taken back down to Lee.

“We cleared out the drugstore,” Said Lee, taking Clementine, “So we’re gonna be alright for a while, hopefully.”

“Yeah.” Said Lilly, just as Mark and Kenny arrived with a pair of teenagers, one of whom had been shot, “Oh, fucking great.”

MD

“You seriously think leaving a baby here alone is a good idea?” Baby’s eyes looked at Funny, as Ugly and Grumpy talk-ded with him.

“She’s not being left here alone,” Said Ugly, “Carley and Ben are going to be here with her.”

“Do either of them know how to care for a baby?” Said Funny, make Baby’s Mommy sigh.

“Yes, Kenny,” Said Mommy, as she shifted baby, “I know how to handle a baby.”

“Gooh.”

Everyone looked at Baby, who wriggled its armies free and tried to grab Mommy’s head hanging thingies, letting out a discontented whine, before starting to cry.

“We better get going.” Said Ugly, looking at the other growed-ups, “If we want to get there before nightfall.”

MD

Lee sighed as they walked back to the Motel with the supplies they’d found in the abandoned car they’d come across. Mark had been hit by an arrow while clearing the St John’s electric fence for them, after Carley and Ben had left to go back to the motel. The others arrived and Lee went out with Danny to search for the bandits, finding a camp with a single occupant, a crazy woman called Jolene, which led to a confrontation that caused Lee to shoot the woman.

After he and Danny got back to the dairy, Kenny alerted him to his concerns and Lee had managed to get a door open, revealing a blood covered room to him, before Andy collected him for dinner. Not seeing Mark, Lee went to look for the man, finding him in a hidden bathroom with his legs cut off. He ran down the stairs and revealed the source of the meat to the other, before the St Johns knocked him out and locked everyone, except Katjaa and Duck, in a meat locker.

Lee woke up to Larry banging on the door, while Kenny was trying to find a way out, and Lilly was throwing up in the corner. Lee joined Kenny in looking for a way out, only for Larry to have a heart attack, Lilly started giving him CPR, but he and Kenny had decided that they couldn’t risk it, and pulled Lilly away, before crushing Larry’s head with a salt lick. They were in the meat locker for a few more minutes, before Danny St John opened the door and said that one of them could leave. Lee and Kenny responded by jumping the man and, once getting his rifle off him, putting a hole on his forehead. They’d gotten everyone else out of the cannibal farm, killing Brenda and Andy St John in the process, before they stumbled across an abandoned car full of supplies.

“You’re back,” Carley’s voice made Lee look for Clementine, “I was about to head out and look for you.”

“Where’s Clem?” Asked Lee, just before there was a crashing sound, followed by the baby letting out shrieking cries.

“She was asleep.” Said Carley, sighing and looking into the Motel, before she checked the group, “Where’s Mark and Larry?”

“It’s a long story.” Sighed Lee, adjusting his grip on the supplies, “We’ll tell you once we’re inside.”

MD

Carley sighed as she adjusted Clementine in the makeshift sling they’d made for the baby, who was cooing up at her and waving her arms in an attempt to grab Carley’s hair. Lee and Kenny had just got back from a supply run, and Kenny was arguing with Lilly.

She’d talked to Lee about telling the others about his past, which he did with Kenny and his family, before he started investigating Lilly’s claims about someone stealing from them. Sighing, Carley gently bounced Clementine, making sure not to dislodge the bottle of formula that she’d taped to her front, getting a grumpy sound from the baby when she moved. Carley was so focused on Clementine that she didn’t notice the bandits from the woods coming in, until she was roughly grabbed and dragged to the rest of the group and forced to her knees.

Clementine, as soon as Carley had been grabbed, started screeching when her bottle was torn from her mouth, which fell to the ground. The leader of the bandits, after being confronted by Lee, had to yell in order to be heard. Lee distracted bandits long enough for Lilly to kill two of them, with Carley grabbing a dropped gun and killing two more, before it jammed and she had to retreat with a screaming baby.

The resulting battle was chaos, but they all managed to escape with their lives, even though they had to leave everything else behind.

MD

The Growed-ups was being noisy and scary, and Baby no like that, Baby want quiet! Baby want Mommy and Daddy to uppie it, and gived it huggies and kissies, but it no get noned! Mommy and Daddy hates its! Its alone! Baby felt Mommy put it in its crib, hum-hummying a noise thingy, and gived it its suck-suck. Slowly, Baby felleded to nap-nap.

MD

Lee sighed as he and Ben cut the coupling on the tanker. After Carley managed to get Clementine to sleep, Kenny hit a Walker and Lilly ordered everyone out of the RV, which led to Lilly shooting Carley in the face. They decided to leave Lilly behind, and Kenny told Lee that Duck had been bitten. After driving for a while, where Lee had a bizarre nightmare about an older Clementine turned into a Walker, they came across a train, and after they met a homeless guy living in it, they got it free of the other cars and set off for Savannah in it.

Lee spent most of the journey with Clementine, before Duck took a turn for the worse and they had to stop the train. Katjaa, after carrying Duck into the forest, took her own life, and Lee, after running in to check on the noise, ended up putting Duck down.

They started travelling again, only for the rails to be blocked by a tanker hanging down from a bridge. Lee had met a couple, Omid and Christa, when he went up to check on it. After introducing the two to the rest of his group, Lee went down to a nearby station and, after killing more than a few Walkers, managed to get a cage open and take a blowtorch. Ben had already been up on the bridge when Lee arrived. The cut was almost finished when they saw a horde of Walkers coming towards them.

Once it was finished, it fell and destroyed the ladder Lee and Ben used to get up onto the bridge, Kenny started the train, and Lee, upon seeing the destroyed ladder, ordered Ben to jump from the bridge to the trains roof. Lee didn’t wait for Ben to give him a nod or anything, before he jumped and landed on the roof of the boxcar. Looking back, Lee saw that Ben hadn’t moved, before he swung down into the boxcar, losing sight of the boy as he did.

MD

Baby woked up in a big thingy, Daddy was holdying it, and talk-talkying with Funny, letting its suck-suck fall, Baby cooed at Daddy, with him giving it a tickly. Baby no understand what Growed-ups was saying, but let itself make little cutey noiseys. Before Daddy rockyed it back to nap-nap.

MD

“Well, this isn’t creepy at all.” Said Omid, as Lee adjusted Clementine, who was bundled in her blanket with her bunny and pacifier.

“Hmm?” Clementine had started to become more vocal, which was something that they were still getting used to. The baby let her pacifier fall out of her mouth, “Ooh, hoo.”

“That’s interesting, Clem,” Said Lee, looking at the baby, “anything else?”

“Eh?” the three-month-old reached up for Lee’s nose. A bell tolling made them stop, as Clementine looked around.

The Baby knew she was not an ‘it’ her Daddy called her she, as well as a funny word that she couldn’t understand. They had been on that big loud thingy that scared her, and her Mommy wasn’t with them no mores. Then ugly and scratchy was gone, and Ucky and his mommy was gone too.

“Hmm.” Baby tried to get comfy, so Daddy could let her nap-nap, then there was a big noise. She whimpered, as it continued to be loud and mean. Then she messed and wetted herselfs.

Lee heard Clementine hiccup, before she sobbed, and broke out in high pitched, screeching wails. The Walkers, that had initially been summoned by the bell, started to converge on Lee. Hurriedly shoving the pacifier into Clementine’s mouth, Lee quickly moved her into his dominant hand, so he could get the ammo from his left pocket, then a Walker grabbed his arm and bit him. Lee struggled with the Walker, seeing Chuck get overwhelmed and torn apart, while Kenny vanished behind a herd after pulling a Walker off of Christa.

Christa saw the Walker biting Lee, then one bit him on the back of the neck. Thinking quickly, Christa ran over and took Clementine from him, as Lee succumbed to the weight of the dead.

“Run.” Said Christa, looking at Omid, “Omid, RUN!”

Wincing, Omid ran as fast as he could, as Christa broke into a run, keeping two fingers on Clementine’s pacifier to prevent the baby girl from spitting it out and summoning more Walkers.

Baby didn’t know why the mean lady took her from Daddy, she wanted Daddy! The rhythm of the lady running made Baby forget about her wet and messed diapie, and fall asleep.

MD

Christa looked down at the baby, Lee had found her alone in a treehouse after the world ended, she was young, far too young to be left alone, he’d found a picture of her and her parents when she’d been born, she was only a few weeks old. From what she’d heard, her parents were in the house, already dead and turned.

It was a miracle that she was still alive when she and Omid left Savannah with her, after Lee was bitten by one of the Walkers the baby had accidentally summoned while crying. Omid died shortly after, shot by some girl who’d tried to steal from them. That’d been two months ago. The five-month-old was starting to make sounds that seemed like words, but she was mostly quiet, content to suckle on her pacifier or gum on her bunny. Which is what the baby was doing now, covered only by a diaper and a ruined onesie, completely oblivious to the danger she was in.

Christa felt the Walker bite on her cheek give a throb.

“Shit, are you okay?” A young man’s voice reached Christa, making her look at him, “Fuck, you’re bit.”

“She needs someone to look after her.” Said Christa, hollowly, as the baby dropped her bunny and started crying.

The young man, frowned, before he walked around Christa and spotted the baby, “Shit, that’s a baby.”

“Please.” Pleaded Christa, “Help her.”

The young man looked conflicted, before nodding, taking the baby when Christa held her out.

“Her name’s Clementine.” Was the last thing Christa said, before she started to pass out.

Luke looked down at Clementine, as she started crying for a different reason.

Lee woke up with a groan, shifting himself on the sofa, yawning, he got up and looked around the room, “Clementine?” Looking around the room, Lee frowned when he saw both the girl and her radio missing, “Clementine?”

Both the landing and the bottom floor were empty, leading to Lee going outside, into the backyard, “Clementine?! Clementine!” Called Lee, before he saw her hat on the ground in front of the shed that housed the boat, “Oh, God.” He walked over to the hat and picked it up, before he heard the radio crackle on the other side of the fence.

Jumping over it, Lee walked up to the radio, before picking it up. Frowning at the object, Lee looked around, “Clem?”

As if responding to Lee’s voice, as Walker shifted from its place behind the bins, with some trash falling to the ground. Lee stared at the Walker, before he kicked it over, before he violently stomped on it’s head.

“Lee?” Christa’s voice made Lee look towards the house, “Lee? You out here? Lee?”

Lee turned around, spotting Christa, Kenny, Omid, and Ben walking towards the fence.

“Are you crazy?” Asked Kenny, incredulous, “What are you doing out here? It ain't safe!”

“Lee, where's Clementine?” Asked Omid, as they hopped over the fence, “She's not in her room.”

“Vernon ain't in the house either!” Said Kenny, looking around, “What the hell is going on?”

“Whose blood is that?” Asked Christa, spotting the blood that had splattered onto his arm.

“It's a Walker's.” Answered Lee, casting a glare at the corpse, “Fucker tried to jump me from behind.”

“So,” Kenny looked around, “where's Clementine?”

“Clementine's gone.” Said Lee, looking at them, “I found her hat and her radio on the ground out here. That's all I found.”

“There's no chance she just wandered off on her own?” Asked Omid, frowning.

“No,” Lee shook his head, “no way.”

“Then who the hell took her?” Asked Kenny, casting a glare at Ben.

“I don't know.” Answered Lee, before remembering something, “Last night Vernon came to me and offered to take her with him. Said she'd be better off.”

“Son of a bitch.” Muttered Kenny, before looking at Lee, “I knew we couldn't trust that fucker.”

“Wherever she is,” Said Lee, deciding what he’d do, “I have to find her.”

“Okay.” Nodded Christa, planting her hands on her hips, “What do you need from us?”

The group discussed what they were going to do, before it was decided that Lee and Kenny would go to the morgue, and Omid, Christa, and Ben would remain behind with the boat.

I

Lee and his group arrived at the morgue, with all of them finding the room completely empty, with Lee wondering where they were, and Kenny remarking that they left in a hurry, before the radio crackling got their attention.

“Lee?” Clementine’s voice got their attention.

“Clementine, are you alright?!” Lee seized the radio from his waist, and spoke into it, “Where are you?! Vernon, you son of a bitch!”

“Hello, Lee.” Said a strange man’s voice, in place of Clementine’s.

“Who is this?!” Demanded Lee, snarling.

“It's not Vernon if that's what you're thinking, and you should really watch your tone.” Said the stranger, “Clementine's fine. But if I were you, I'd choose my next words very carefully.”

“You're fucking dead!” Snarled Lee, 2I don't know who you are, but I will kill you! Do you understand?!”

“I know you will. She knows you will. Say goodbye.” Said the stranger, coldly.

“Goodbye—” Clementine’s voice was cut off by the radio cutting out.

Sighing and looking around the morgue, Lee saw some Walkers passing by the window, before he grabbed a rib spreader and walked over to the elevator, “We need to get out of here.”

“No shit.” Said Kenny, as Lee pried the door open.

“Hopefully, we’re not going to run into any Walkers.” Commented Lee, before spotting a ladder, “Come on.”

Kenny watched Lee climb the ladder, before sighing and following after him. Eventually, they managed to reach the roof, where Lee used another ladder to cross across the gap between the hospital roof and a bell tower, and rang the bell, luring the horde away from the direction the house was in, allowing them to head away without any trouble from the dead.

I

It took them a while, but they came back to the house, finding Ben lying dead on the ground, and Omid and Christa locked inside the shed, Christa told them that Ben was killed by Vernon and his group, while they were stealing the boat, before they went inside the house, when they noticed that there were Walkers appearing in the street behind them.

They barricaded the doors, with them killing Walkers when they came in through the windows, before they retreated into the attic and look for a new way out of the house, which found when they found a rotting wood wall that they knocked down with a coat stand.

“Y’know,” Said Kenny, as Omid took over knocking down the wall, “it seems like the dead can’t see you, Lee.”

“How do you mean?” Asked Lee, frowning.

“It’s just that you’ve had a load of Walkers coming at you,” Said Kenny, frowning, “they all seem to ignore you.”

“Maybe I’m not to their taste.” Joked Lee, as Omid got the wall down.

They left the attic and went into a room in the building next door, with a couple of corpses on the bed. The group then made their way to the balcony, before jumping to the roof of the building across from them and travelling towards the Marsh House.

I

Lee scowled when the sign broke after Kenny had finished crossing it, before he looked at the street, silently groaning when he saw it was flooded with Walkers. Sighing, Lee looked at the others, “Fuck it. I'm going for it.”

“Going for it?” Demanded Kenny, “What does that mean?”

“It means I don’t have any choice,” Yelled Lee, “I have to push my way through the herd!”

“What the fuck?!” Asked Omid, looking at Lee.

“Let's meet out of town!” Yelled Lee, looking at the three of them, “By the train!”

“Are you nuts?!” Demanded Omid, getting a sigh from Lee.

“It's the only way!” Called Lee, as he started climbing down to the street, “Do you hear me?”

“Yeah,” Responded Kenny, “by the train!”

“Jesus...” Said Christa, “We'll be there!”

Upon reaching the street, Lee took a deep breath, and walked towards the herd, pulling a meat cleaver from his waistband to fight them off.

Only for the entire herd to completely ignore him, allowing him to walk through them and into the Marsh house. Half an hour later, Lee left he hotel with Clementine, and both went to meet up with the rest of their group.

I

“You should stop this, Clem.”

Lee’s voice made Clementine look across the fire at him, it’d been almost a year since they left Savannah, Christa had given birth to twins, OJ and CJ, Kenny had saved Omid from being killed by a bandit at a rest stop, and Lee had heard about a place called Wellington in the north, which was where they were heading now.

 “Stop what?” Asked Clementine, confused.

“Pretending that I’m alive.”

“I’m not.”

“You are, Clem,” Sighed Lee, sitting on the log across from her, “no one’s invisible to the Walkers. I wish we were we’d still have some of our friends.”

“Like Kenny and Chuck?” Asked Clementine, looking over at Omid and Christa’s sleeping forms, “A-and Omid?”

“Yeah,” Sighed Lee, looking over at them, “do you remember what I said?”

“Everything is dangerous.” Clementine looked at the ground.

“If you keep pretending that Walkers can’t see living people, you might forget that they can.” Said Lee, as Clementine pulled her knees to her chest, “It could get you, or someone with you, killed, and I don’t want to see you gone before your time.”

“B-but,” Clementine swallowed, “I got you killed, i-if I hadn’t—”

“You didn’t make me do anything.” Interrupted Lee, “And, if I was given the chance, I wouldn’t change anything.”

Clementine, swallowing thickly, “I-I’m sorry, Lee.”

“It’s almost morning, Clem,” Said Lee, gently, “you should get up.”

With that, Clementine opened her eyes.

“I was just about to wake you,” Said Christa, looking at the girl, “c’mon, I saw a store not far from here, if we’re lucky, we might find something decent to eat today.”

Clementine gave Christa a nod, getting to her feet, she picked up the backpack they’d found and, after alerting Christa, followed after her guardian.

Lee sighed as he looked around the countryside, he’d told Omid and Christa to meet him and Clementine at the train, only for them to not be there. He looked at the stump of his arm, before looking at Clementine, the girl was a foot in front of him, quietly looking at the ground and she walked.

“Everything’s gonna be fine, Sweetpea.” Promised Lee, putting his remaining hand on her shoulder.

Clementine gave him a quiet nod, before they continued to walk away from Savannah.

“Lee?” A familiar voice made Lee stop and turn around.

Kenny was similarly covered in Walker guts and looked shocked to see them.

“You made it.” Said Lee, as Clementine turned around, “I see you figured out the guts trick.”

“Guts trick?” Asked Kenny, looking confused.

“Y’know, covering yourself in Walker guts?” Said Lee, frowning, “Do that and they can’t see you.”

Kenny blinked, “Well, fuck me.”

“I’d rather not.” Commented Lee, looking around, “Where the hell are Christa and Omid?”

“Well,” Said Kenny, looking around, “they ain’t here.”

“Really?” Asked Lee, glancing at Kenny, “I hadn’t noticed.”

“Don’t get smart with me, Lee.” Warned Kenny, before sighing, “So, what’s the plan? Wait here for a bit before moving again?”

Lee sighed, “Yeah, that’d be the smart thing.”

A

They’d waited a couple of days in the train, before they decided to leave. With Lee acting as Kenny’s eyes at the other end of the train and using the two radios they had to communicate, they’d decided to take the hulking vehicle back up towards Macon,. They went slower than they did last time, but they got back to the where the RV had been left sooner than they expected, but they were able to stop the train short of the crossing.

“We’re gonna have to keep our eyes out for another vehicle,” Said Kenny, as the approached the RV, “there’s about thirty mile left in the RV’s radiator.”

Lee stopped, “That… would’ve been useful to know before we went under the overpass.”

“I’ve only just remembered.” Said Kenny, defensively, “Besides… did you see that?”

“See what?” Asked Lee, looking at Kenny.

“Inside the RV.” Answered Kenny, looking at the empty guns they had, “Think we can bluff ‘em?”

“I,” Clementine’s voice was small, speaking for the first time since they left Savannah, “I think it’s Lilly.”

Lee frowned, before sighing, “I’ll go check it out, y’know, considering…” Lee waved his stump.

“Alright,” Sighed Kenny, “we’ll be right behind you, stumpy.”

Lee gave Kenny a flat look, before approaching the RV.

“Ugh, damn it.” Lilly’s back was to Lee, “Of course they’d’ve cleared it out.”

“Actually,” Lee’s voice made Lilly turn around and aim a gun at him, “we didn’t, they just wasn’t anything in here.”

Lilly looked Lee over, before focusing on the stump of his left arm, “What the hell happened to you?”

Lee looked at the remains of his arm, “I got bit.”

“And cutting it off worked?” Asked Lilly, getting a nod from Lee, “I guess Kenny took his family and left you behind.”

“No,” Said Lee, shaking his head, “we used a train and went down to Savannah, Duck… Duck was bit in the raid and Katjaa… she killed herself.”

“God.” Muttered Lilly, before looking Lee over, “Where’s Clementine?”

“She’s outside,” Answered Lee, sighing, “with Kenny.”

Lilly frowned, before tucking her gun away and giving Lee a stiff nod.

“It’s safe.” Called Lee, limping out of the RV, “She’s not looking to fight.”

“What the hell would we fight back with?” Asked Kenny, getting a sigh from Lee.

Lilly frowned, “You’re not armed?”

“We don’t have any bullets.” Said Lee, after a moment.

“Huh,” Lilly looked at the gun she’d found on the side of the road, “I guess that makes two of us.”

Lee stopped, before looking at Lilly. The pair stared at each other for a moment, before Lee sighed, and continued to walk off the RV.

A

“I still think this is a bad idea.” Said Lilly, as the RV came to a shuddering stop at the end of a dusty road, “You said that the guy here kicked you out.”

“Yeah, well, maybe he’ll let us stay the night,” Grumbled Kenny, “hell, maybe we’ll be able to sneak in and sleep in the barn and leave without them noticing us.”

“Yeah,” Scoffed Lilly, scowling, “like that’ll happen.”

After a moment, they realised they weren’t moving.

“Er, Kenny?” Lilly looked at the man, “You’re free to drive.”

“Ya think I’m doing?” Snapped Kenny, before sighing, “The radiator must’ve died.”

“Really?” Asked Lee, frowning, before he sighed, “Well, I guess we’re walking up the drive, then.”

“Let’s hope they don’t shoot at us.” Muttered Kenny, as they got out of the RV, making Lilly stop.

“What did you guys do?”

A

The farm was completely abandoned, the barn had been burned down, the house looked ransacked, and there were Walkers roaming around the house and destroyed barn.

“So… I guess we’re not staying here.” Said Lilly, as Lee frowned.

“I would suggest that he check the house,” Said Lee, glancing around, “but I don’t wanna risk getting bit, again.”

“I think I can see Shawn’s truck, over there,” Said Kenny, glancing at them, “Think I can reach it?”

“We’ll be right behind you.” Said Lilly, just as Kenny ran to the truck and jumped in before any of the Walkers could grab him, “Think the keys are in the truck or the house?”

“House.” Said Lee, just as the truck started, “Huh.”

A few minutes later, the four of them were in the truck and travelling towards Atlanta.

“Hopefully,” Said Lilly, after a period of silence, “we can find supplies in the city.”

“And if we can’t,” Said Lee, “we could drop by Clementine’s old house and rest there for a bit.”

“We could also check for warmer clothes.” Said Kenny, when Clementine didn’t say anything, “There might even been some food in the cupboards.”

Glanced down at Clementine, Lee paused when he saw the girl was asleep, before he sighed, “She’s asleep.”

“Huh,” Said Kenny, glancing at the girl, “this gotta be the longest she’s slept since Savannah.”

“We should get some sleep too,” Said Lilly, looking around them as the truck drove along the freeway, “Kenny, pull over, there’s a rest stop coming up where we can sleep.”

“I’m fine.” Dismissed Kenny, as he turned off the freeway, “I wouldn’t get much sleep anyway.”

Lilly glanced at Lee, before she sighed and got herself comfortable, before going to sleep, with Lee no far behind her.

A

“Hey, wake up.” Kenny shaking them made the rest of the group shift and look at him.

“Everyone alright?” Asked Lee, as Lilly looked out the windows.

“We got company.” Said Kenny, gesturing to a man in a sleeveless jacket walking towards them.

Behind the man, a group of nine people were watching them. Lee thought a couple of them look familiar, before he recognised Hershel, “Oh, shit.”

“Lee?” Lilly looked at him, before she frowned, “You recognise them?”

“That old guy?” Lee gestured to Hershel, “That’s the guy who owned the farm we took this truck from.”

“Great.” Muttered Lilly, as the man reached the truck.

“Can I help you?” Asked Kenny, after rolling down the window.

“The city’s flooded.” Said the man, making Kenny frown.

“With Walkers or water?” Asked Kenny, getting a frown from the man.

“Walkers.”

“Right,” Said Kenny, looking around, “I guess we’ll turn around and go someplace else.”

“You got food?” Asked the man, making the adults freeze.

“No,” Answered Lilly, looking at him, “We’re kind of scavenging, we got lucky when we stumbled across this truck.”

The man slowly nodding, as another man walked up, “We got some food, if you need it.”

The second man frowned at Lee, before he looked around the man and spotted a sleeping Clementine.

“That your daughter?” Asked the second man, gesturing at the girl.

“Might as well be.” Answered Lee, “Found her alone back when all this started.”

The second man nodded, before looking at the first, “Daryl, Hershel reckons he knows these guys.”

“Huh?” The first man, Daryl, looked at the man, “You mean like those ‘Living’ nuts?”

“No, said they got his son killed.” Answered the man.

“The Walker one?” Asked Daryl, frowning.

“Yeah.” Nodded the man, “He also said that what we do with them is up to us, but they’ve got a little girl, and we got some food spare, should they need it.”

Daryl glanced at them, before he walked back to his group, leaving them with the other man.

“I’m Rick,” Said the man, gesturing to himself, “you’ve already met Daryl, and you know Hershel, and his daughters.”

“We don’t actually,” Said Lee, after a moment, “Me, Clem, and Kenny only met Hershel, and Shawn.”

“I don’t know any of them.” Said Lilly, glancing at Lee, “Never met them.”

Rick nodded, before looking back at his group, “You don’t look like you got much, and we ain’t gonna let a little girl go hungry.”

“Thanks.” Said Lee, getting a nod from Rick, before the man started walking back to his group.

“We wanna risk it?” Asked Kenny, looking at them.

“We don’t have much choice.” Responded Lee, his arm giving a twinge.

“We could just leave.” Said Lilly, looking at Lee.

“And pass up a chance to eat?” Asked Lee, as Clementine woke up, “If Atlanta is flooded with Walkers, this is probably going to be the last meal we’re gonna have in a while.”

As if illustrating his point, Clementine’s stomach growled.

“Great.” Muttered Lilly, as Kenny got out of the truck, followed by Lee and Clementine. After a moment of sitting in the truck alone, Lilly got out a followed them, “This isn’t going to end well.”

A

Lee carefully balanced the food he’d been given on his leg, while Lilly and Kenny cradled theirs in their hands, and Clementine gave herself hiccups because she ate hers so quickly.

“What happened?” Asked Hershel, making Lee look at him, before he looked at his stump.

“I got bit.” Answered Lee, shifting his stump, “I didn’t think I was going to survive, still don’t, in fact.”

“What about his wife and kid?” Asked Hershel’s eldest daughter, Maggie, “Where’re they?”

“Yeah,” Nodded Glenn, “I was wondering the same thing about Larry and Carley.”

The three of them were silent, before Lee sighed, “About three months in, a few weeks ago, actually, we were still at that motel we were in when you left, we’d picked up another survivor.”

“Mark,” Supplied Kenny, “he had food, and other supplies.”

“Which we were running out of.” Interjected Lilly, glancing at Lee.

“And we had to go out hunting,” Continued Lee, “we weren’t very good at it, but we found some college kids, or high schoolers, I forget which, and their teacher in the woods. Their teacher, I can’t remember his name, he was caught in some modified bear trap that had the release latch removed.”

“How’d you get him out?” Asked Hershel, frowning.

“The only way we could,” Answered Lee, “we cut his leg off.”

“Jesus.” Muttered Maggie, looking sick.

“Yeah,” Agreed Lee, before continuing, “we brought them back to the motel with us, one of them fell behind, but the one that made it back with us, his name was Ben, and he told us that he and his group were attacked by some bandits, during which his teacher bled out. Heh, that was when we found out that we turn no matter how we die.”

“Yeah, we found out pretty recently too.” Said T-Dog, a man in Rick’s group.

“Well, a couple guys from a nearby dairy offered us some food they had,” Said Lee, sighing, “it was like the world hadn’t ended.”

“What was wrong with them?” Asked Lori, Rick’s pregnant wife.

“They were cannibals,” Said Lilly, “fed some of us Mark’s legs.”

“Yeah, knocked Lee out and locked most of us in a meat locker.” Said Kenny, gruffly.

“Yeesh,” Winced Glenn, “Larry couldn’t have taken that well.”

“He didn’t.” Confirmed Lilly, “He had a heart attack, and instead of trying to save him, they dropped a salt lick on his head.”

“Lilly, his heart had stopped, and he wasn’t breathing.” Said Lee, looking at her, “And even if he had survived, would he have made it out of the barn, past the St Johns, through the Walkers, and the walk back to the motel through bandit infested woods?”

“He’s got a point.” Said Daryl, crossing his arms, “I’m surprised that he lasted that long.”

“Well, we found a car full of supplies on the walk back,” Said Lee, looking at the group, “we were starving, and the supplies would’ve lasted us a while, and the car looked abandoned, so we took the supplies back to the motel.”

“I’m guessing that the car wasn’t actually abandoned.” Said Hershel, levelly.

“It wasn’t.” Confirmed Lee, sighing, “A week later, we were forced out of the motel by the gang in the woods, the college kid, Ben, he had been giving them supplies behind our back.”

“It was Ben?” Asked Lilly, looking murderous, “I—”

“Killed Carley for it.” Interrupted Lee, sounding tired, “Yeah, and we left you on the side of the road. We continued driving until we found a train, as well as an old homeless man, Chuck, we managed to get it to start and took it down to Savannah.”

“Yeah,” Sighed Kenny, “then Duck took a turn for the worse on the way.”

“Why?” Asked Carol, another woman in Rick’s group, “What happened to him?”

“He was bit while we were leaving the motel,” Said Lee, sighing, “we stopped the train, so we could… end his suffering, Kenny and Katjaa took Duck into the woods, and… Katjaa killed herself.”

“Lee had to stop Duck from…” Kenny cut himself off.

“We then got the train moving again,” Said Lee, “and we continued on to Atlanta, picking up a couple on the way, Omid and Christa.”

“Yeah, it was on the way down that we found out some creep had been talking to Clem on her radio.” Supplied Kenny, making Lilly frown.

“I thought that was one of you two,” Said Lilly, looking at them, “or Duck putting on some funny voice.”

Lee sighed, before looking at Rick’s group, “After we got to Savannah, we almost got mobbed by bunch of Walkers, Ben left Clementine to die, which caused Chuck to be killed. We found a house and hid from the Walkers in it, before Kenny and I went to look for a boat, and Clementine snuck out after us.”

“Fucking waste of time.” Muttered Kenny, scowling.

“We met a survivor, Molly, she told us that a community in Savannah had stripped everything from everywhere, then we got mobbed by Walkers, again.” Said Lee, “I got separated from them, slipped into the sewers and found some other survivors hiding in a morgue.”

“That’s ironic.” Chipped T-Dog, leaning back.

“Well, one thing led to another, and we decided to sneak into the community and get some stuff for a boat we found in the shed of the house we were hiding in,” Lee continued, feeling tired, “we got there and found the place had fallen and was full of Walkers.”

“Made getting the stuff easier.” Said Kenny, glancing at Lee.

“Yeah, then Walkers noticed us, and started to box us in,” Continued Lee, “which was when Ben decided to tell us the truth.”

“That’s poor timing.” Said Rick, frowning.

“It was.” Agreed Clementine, deciding to stop holding her breath, before she hiccupped.

“We got out of there,” Said Lee, darkly, “barely.”

“I fixed the boat up, then that guy Clem had been talking to took her, and Lee got bit.” Said Kenny, deciding to take over, “We lost Ben, and got separated from the rest of our group, getting Clem back. We then made our way back north and, well, here we are.”

“That’s… quite the tale.” Said Hershel, after a moment, before looking at Rick, “I don’t think they’ll be much trouble, and we could do with a few good hands.”

“They’d also be more mouths to feed.” Interjected Daryl, crossing his arms, “And we don’t know if any of that’s true.”

“It’s weird that you guys killed her Dad, and she’d still with you.” Agreed Maggie, looking at them, “You said that she was left behind after she killed someone.”

“Carley,” Supplied Lee, “her name was Carley, and it is a bit weird, but she was in the RV when we got back to it, none of us had any real weapons, so we decided to make a truce and keep moving.”

Maggie nodded slowly, before she looked at the others, “I believe them.”

“Sorry,” Lilly looked around them, “what’s going on?”

“Well, we were going to wait until morning before offering, but,” Rick glanced around, before looking at Lee, “we’re willing to let y’all come with us, wherever it is we’re going.”

“Really?” Asked Lee, looking around them, “Seriously?”

“You seem capable,” Said Rick, before nodding at Lee’s arm, “and you told us something that might save one of our lives down the road.”

Lee glanced at Kenny, then at Lilly, before his eyes settled on Clementine.

“We’d be happy to stay with you,” Said Lee, looking at Rick, “and it might take me a while, given my arm, but we’ll be working hard to help you with whatever you ask.”

Rick gave a half-smile, before he looked around, “It’s getting dark, we should be getting some sleep, we’re going to have a long journey tomorrow.”

There were some agreeing mutters, before the group walked back to the vehicles, with Lee leading Clementine, Kenny, and Lilly back to the truck. If they were going to stay with Rick’s group, they had to get some sleep so they could keep moving with them in the morning. Lee hoped that all their troubles were now behind them.

“Could be a Walker over there.” Said Daryl, pointing towards a small form on a log. After leaving Hershel’s farm, their group had travelled down to Savannah, with them making good time, since they’d gotten down to the city from Hershel’s farm in a few days, mostly thanks to the vehicles they’d managed to get working, although it would’ve been better if said vehicles hadn’t died as soon as they reached the city.

“Looks like it was a kid.” Said Maggie, walking over to Rick and frowning, “Looks like it noticed us.”

Rick looked at the Walker, finding it moving towards them, sighing, he pulled out his revolver and started walking towards it. He got within a few metres of it, when it stopped, and started running away.

Daryl frowned when the Walker started running in the opposite direction, “Fuck, it’s a kid.”

“Alive?” Asked Lori, as Rick took off after the child.

“Shit,” Muttered Glenn, before sighing, “c’mon, before either of them gets killed.”

The group watched Daryl, T-Dog, and Glenn ran after Rick, who’d followed the child to an abandoned car.

Rick ducked when the child, a little girl, evidently not having any bullets, threw her gun at him, swiftly followed by a rock, he heard Daryl and some of the others join him, with Daryl going around the side of the car, making the girl squeak, and scramble under the car.

“We ain’t gonna hurt you.” Said Rick, dropping to the ground and looking at the girl, who tried to throw another rock at him.

“Hey,” Glenn crouched down and looked at the girl, before freezing, “Clementine?”

“You know her?” Asked Rick, looking at Glenn.

“She was in that drugstore I got stuck in when the world ended,” Said Glenn, “you know, that one with that old man with a heart condition.”

“Huh?” T-Dog looked at Glenn, “When’d you mention that?”

“Just before we found Hershel’s farm.” Answered Glenn, frowning at T-Dog.

“You mean when Carl got shot.” Said Rick, just as the girl, having run out of rocks, threw one of her shoes at him.

“Maybe—” Glenn was cut off by Daryl reaching under the car and dragging the girl out by her ankles and holding her upside down, “we could do that.”

The group stared at the child, who looked close to tears.

“So…” T-Dog glanced around, “how’re we gonna handle this?”

T

Kenny stumbled out of the crowd of Walkers, it took him a moment to realise that he was still alive, before he came to a stop by a tree. Breathing heavily, Kenny looked around, he had been heading for the train, only to find himself in the middle of a field that was close to a group camped up on the hill.

Checking his gun, Kenny sighed when he saw it was empty.

So much for planning to put himself out of his misery.

Sighing, Kenny looked back at Savannah, hoping to either see Omid and Christa, or Lee and Clementine, or both parties, for that matter. Sighing, Kenny looked at the camp, maybe they had some food to spare.

Or a bullet.

Whichever one they were willing to give him.

T

It took them a while to get Clementine to calm down, but the girl seemed to latch onto Glenn. They also found out thar Hershel had met Clementine before, although they apparently parted on less-than-ideal terms.

“I last saw her when Shawn died,” Said Hershel, as Maggie and Beth frowned, “he was reinforcing our fence, and a guy’s son, I forget his name, he was on a tractor. I don’t know what happened, since I was talking to the guy who came in with her at the time, but I saw them pulling the boy to safety, while leaving my son to die.”

“I can’t say I’d do any different.” Said Daryl, gruffly.

“Me neither.” Agreed Rick, glancing at Carl, before looking at Clementine, “What happened to the group you were with?”

“T-they died.” Stuttered Clementine, “I’m all that’s left.”

Rick frowned, before he looked towards Savannah, and frowned, “Think that’s another person or a Walker?”

The group looked to where Rick was looking, spotting someone, or something, walking up the hill towards them.

“Son of a bitch.” Muttered Glenn, his eyes wide.

“What?” Asked Rick, looking at Glenn.

“Hey, Clem,” the girl looked up at Glenn, “look who it is.”

Clementine peeked around Daryl, before she froze, and bolted towards the person.

Kenny let out a grunt as something small barrelled into him. For a moment, he thought it was a Walker, only to catch sight of the baseball cap the culprit was wearing, “Clementine?”

“The hell?” Rick looked at Glenn.

“He was with her when we first met.” Said Glenn, getting a nod from Hershel.

“They met at my farm.” Said Hershel, looking at Rick, “The boy that was saved instead of my son, was his son.”

Rick frowned, “Where’s he now?”

“He got bit, a few days ago.” Said the man

“So, I guess you’re part of her old group.” Said Daryl, crossing his arms.

“Yeah,” Answered the man, “name’s Kenny.”

“Your wife get bit too?” Asked Hershel, quietly.

“No, Kat…” Kenny swallowed, “She killed herself.”

The group fell silent, before Kenny sighed, “Me and Clem’ll get outta your hair.”

“Stay.”

Everyone looked at Rick, “I ain’t gonna send anyone out to die, not if I can help.”

There was a tense silence, before Hershel sigh, “Come on, we should have some food to spare.”

“T-thank you.” Stuttered Kenny, before stumbling after Hershel.

T

They’d camped in the countryside for a few more days, before Rick decided that they should keep moving, since none of them wanted to freeze to death. They were packing the camp up, with Clementine being lumped in with Carl and left out of the packing process, when Maggie grabbed her rifle and aimed it at someone approaching them.

“Get back!” Yelled Maggie, getting everyone’s attention.

“Please,” Clementine recognised the man’s voice, “we’re looking for a little girl.”

“Why the hell’d we believe that?” Demanded Maggie, as the rest of the group gathered around them.

“Please,” A woman’s voice, “her name’s Clementine, she’s about this high, and she’s wearing a baseball cap.”

“Got the letter ‘D’ on it.” Added the woman, just as Kenny walked over, “Kenny?”

“You know these guys?” Asked Rick, looking at Kenny.

“Yeah, that couple we met recently, that Clem told you about, Omid and Christa?” Answered Kenny, “That’s them.”

There was a moment of tension, before Maggie, and with some of the others following her, lowered her gun.

“Kenny said you were pregnant.” Said Maggie, after a moment.

“I-I am.” Nodded Christa, as Clementine came into view, “Clementine.”

Before anyone could react, Christa and Omid rushed towards the girl, checking her over for any injuries.

Deciding to give the small group some space, Rick ordered everyone to go back to packing up, before he walked over to Hershel, murmuring about his plan to offer the small group to come with them.

“You sure that’s a good idea?” Asked Hershel, quietly, “Clementine and Kenny are one thing, but a man and a pregnant woman? Are we going to have enough food to last us?”

“I don’t know.” Admitted Rick, sighing, “But, I ain’t gonna send a pregnant woman away to die, not with Lori being pregnant too, I’m trying to give them the same treatment I’d hope Lori would get.”

“Well,” Sighed Hershel, “it’s your call, Rick.”

Sighing, Rick looked at the group of four, before walking over to extend his offer to them.

“If we’re lucky, we might find some food in there.” Clementine looked at Daryl, it’d been three months since they’d joined Rick’s group and they’d been travelling through the winter with the hope that they wouldn’t freeze to death if they were moving.

Presently, they were stopped in Statesboro in the hope they’d find some supplies, mainly food, in the abandoned city. They were resting outside a house that was a couple streets away from a restaurant.

“In the restaurant?” Asked Clementine, frowning, “Isn’t that the first place anyone would look for food?”

“She’s got a point.” Said Maggie, as Kenny, who’d grown a beard, and Glenn left them to check the building out.

“Maybe there’ll be food in one of the houses.” Said Hershel, as Omid limped over.

“Hopefully,” Nodded Omid, “there’s a clothing store over there,” he pointed towards the end of the street, “and we found a ton of baby stuff in that house over there,” he pointed at a house, “but, other than that, we haven’t found much.”

“Well, if that house is open,” Said Maggie, looking towards Rick, “we could at least spend the night in there.”

“And it’s already been cleared of Walkers.” Said Beth, as Daryl frowned.

“It couldn’t hurt, not sleeping outside for once.” Said Lori, getting a nod from Rick.

“Alright, Daryl, can you tell the other two that we’re gonna be in the house?” Asked Rick, getting a nod from the other man, “Alright, let’s have a look inside.”

A few hours later, Daryl returned with Glenn and Kenny, who’d found some food, as well as a woman, who claimed to be a nurse, called Sarita.

T

Clementine frowned as she looked at the place Glenn had seen, it’d been almost eight months since Clementine, and her group, met Rick and his group.

“It’s a prison.” Said Clementine, looking up at Daryl.

“Yeah,” Nodded Daryl, looking at Rick, “probably the best place to be in the apocalypse.”

“Think it’s the same one Lee was going to?” Asked Omid, getting a slap from Christa.

“Maybe.” Shrugged Kenny, as Sarita came up behind him, “God, where’d we be now?”

“Not here, for a start.” Said Daryl, gruffly, “C’mon, we ain’t gonna get in if we just stand here and stare at it.”

Clementine looked at the others, before they followed after Daryl. Looking around her as she walked, Clementine felt all the trouble she’d experienced since the start of the apocalypse was finally over.
