The Walking Dead: Clementine and a dog named Sam

Chapter 14: escape

Well, it's been good writing this story, but this is the last chapter in my story. I will be continuing "Fight for Survival" and I do have another idea on my mind, but I will think about it. Enjoy reading, folks.

The following day, night time had arrived and now everyone in the yard was preparing themselves to get out of here now that they had Bonnie's help. Half of the group was doing nothing much other than waiting, but some of them had jobs to do. Rebecca was comforting Sarita as she was crying over the earlier event, Luke and Mike were standing near the security shutters where Bonnie was on the other side, and Carlos was attending to Kenny after he had been savagely beaten by Carver after taking the blame for who had stolen the radio.

The main thing everyone was worried about was if they could trust Bonnie or not. She was a member of Carver's community, of course, and although this may sound crazy, but how did they know if Carver had put Bonnie up to this as a test to see how loyal the former cabin group were?

Clementine had spent a couple of hours crying over the death of Sam, but she was unable to cry further after everything she had seen in her life. She lost her parents, Lee, her friends, and now Sam. It was just like she expected anyone around her to die in this day and age. But nevertheless, she was determined to get out of here as soon as possible.

Luke and Mike had eventually moved away from the security shutters and sat down with the rest of the group.

"What did she say?" Rebecca inquired, still having some trust issues with Bonnie.

"She said she can get us out of the pen if we can get the PA system going." Mike answered. "Second she hears it she will run over and spring us."

"That's great." Rebecca agreed, anxious to get out of here before Carver returned.

"It's not great." Luke admitted, a worried expression rose across his face.

"What are you talking about?" Rebecca inquired, surprised and confused to what the younger man had just said.

"Look, I know part of this is my fault, I-I know. I was hungry, I got reckless trying to steal some food and I got caught. " Luke explained, but that was not exactly a reason to why it was not such a great idea.

"We can't stay here!" Clementine clashed, not wanting anyone else to die after everything that has happened.

"We lost Matthew and Sam already. Who knows when one of us will be next?" Pete asked them, agreeing with Clementine at the same time.

"Exactly." Rebecca agreed. "We have no idea how long Alvin's got before Bill just kills him." a hint of sadness was in her tone when she realized they still had to get her husband out of his office. "We have to leave now."

"Look, I hear what you're saying, but it's risky." Luke explained.

"It is pretty damn risky, guys." Nick agreed.

"Risky? Did you see that that son of a bitch just did?" Mike asked, referring to the injured Kenny and the dead dog. Why on Earth would they still want to stay here? "Look the plan works. Nothing needs to change. It's all set up. The hard part is done. This guy's fucking crazy. Who knows what he will do next?"

"Yeah, but now we're dealing with a guy beat to shit, Sarita in no shape to do anything, and I'm a goddamn mess." Luke picked out the flaws in their plan to why they could not escape yet. "Look, we should rest up, okay? We should bide out time, and we should wait for an opening."

"Bonnie's agreeing to help us tonight." Mike reminded him.

"And that doesn't mean she can't do it some OTHER night." Luke quickly responded, countering his reason with his own.

"I don't know, guys...Luke's making sense." Nick admitted, but he was unsure what the best idea would be. "Maybe we should wait."

"We're NOT waiting." Rebecca refused, trying to sound serious to her friends.

"Ain't nothing out there, guys. Trust me, I looked!" Luke assured. "There's no food, there's no supplies. They picked everything clean. I'm just saying we got to be sensible about this."

"This is being sensible." Mike told him.

Clementine remained silent during their conversation and argument on what to do. But what she heard from Luke was just pure crazy. Was he really suggesting that they stay here? They knew he was a goddam mess, but saying something that stupid was just pure insanity. Before long, Carlos had returned after attending to Kenny, and the look of his face did not look good. Sarita had leaned herself up after spending hours of crying.

"This is what I'm talking about." Luke explained, noticing Clementine looking over at the injured Kenny. "We're in no shape to go now."

"You better fix him...You better." Clementine told Carlos, not wanting to lose Kenny again after being away from him for so long. But she had hope that he would pull through. Hell, if he could survive a horde of walkers, then he could make it through a couple of beatings.

"I'm doing my best." Carlos assured, for once, he did not respond in a serious and angry tone. "His orbital is crushed...I don't think there's much hope for the eye...I got him as stable as I could, cleaned it, got some of the swelling down, bandaged it as best I could...But until he wakes up...We won't know if there's any damage to the brain."

After hearing this news from the doctor, Sarita burst out in tears again.

"Fuck." Mike swore.

Luke could only think of one more possible solution of them getting out of here by tonight, but he was certain that not everyone was going to agree with him. "Okay, look...Maybe I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but if...dammit, if y'all are serious about going tonight, then we're going to have to start talking about maybe...Leaving some folks behind."

"NO!" Sarita refused.

"There is no other way." Luke replied.

"This is bullshit." Rebecca admitted, not agreeing with this selfish plan of his.

"Well, I don't like it either, but guess what? It's where we're at." Luke explained, but his words did not convince others to agree.

"Kenny and I are only here because of you people..." Sarita reminded him, knowing this was unfair for her and Kenny to be involved in their situations, and now they wanted to leave him here when it was their fault for them being here in the first place. "And now you intend to leave us behind."

"So we should risk all of our lives?" Carlos asked while shrugging his arms during mid-sentence.

"What are you saying?" Rebecca inquired.

"Nothing..." Carlos answered. "I'm-I'm just thinking out loud here."

"We are NOT leaving him!" Sarita refused, she could rather stay here with Kenny than just leave him behind like this.

"No! We're not leaving Kenny!" Clementine agreed with Sarita, feeling the same way about her and the others being here because of them. "That's not fair. We stay together."

"Life ain't fair, Clem." Luke reminded her. "We're just trying to make the best of a bad situation, here. No-one wants to leave Kenny."

"Good, because...you won't have to."

Everyone shifted their attention over towards the side of the yard and we're super relieved to see Kenny was awake and was able to walk under his own strength. He still had a little trouble walking, but after taking the injuries he just suffered, any other person would have still been unconscious. He now had an eye bandage over where his eye use to be with some blood smeared underneath it.

Sarita approached him and embraced Kenny in a hug to which he returned. "I'm all right, hon." he assured, groaning slightly while speaking. He waited until she was done hugging before speaking up to the rest of the group. "We leave tonight...plan don't change."

Although Nick had not always got along with Kenny ever since they first met, he had to admit he was impressed that he was willing to go after the beating her had just taken. "Not bad, old man."

"Nick..." Pete sighed.

"Thanks, asshole." Kenny sarcastically thanked in a cheerful matter.

"You are one tough bastard. " Mike admitted, pointing a single finger towards him.

"Do tough bastards get their ass kicked in front of everybody?" Kenny inquired, chuckling slightly during his sentence. He watched as Clementine approached him with a sad yet relieved expression. "You all right? That wasn't your fault, okay? So don't go blaming yourself."

Clementine did not respond, and instead, ran towards Kenny and embraced him in a hugger to which he immediately returned.

"It's all right." Kenny assured with a slight smile across his face as he held Clementine close to him like she was his own child.

Once the two were done hugging, Luke spoken up about their sudden change of plan. "All right...Well then, what now?"

"We get the hell out of here." Kenny answered.

"Like now, now?" Luke inquired, still thinking it was a bad idea to leave tonight.

"Yes." Rebecca answered.

"Where are we going?" Kenny inquired, taking Mike's advice about their having to make a plan and not to improvise if things went wrong. "In case things get squirrely and we got to make a break for it, we need a place to meet up."

"We could meet out at Parker's Run." Mike suggested.

"The hell is that?" Kenny asked.

"It's a Civil War site a few miles north. Tourist trap. Got signs all over. Just follow the road." Mike answered, describing their meeting place once they were out of this community.

"We stopped there after we escaped the first time." Rebecca added. "Luke and Carlos know where it is. It's not that far."

"Well, at least if a few folks know where it's at, it will be easier to find if we're split up." Kenny said, trying to look on the bright side of their current situation. "All right, that works."

"Then we just need someone to go set off that PA, right?" Kenny asked once they were all agreed on what they would do once they were out of here. "I mean, you never bothered to explain who's supposed to do that."

Unfortunately, there was only one person who would be able to get out of the yard without drawing any attention to herself, and that was no other than Clementine. One-by-one, everyone shifted their sights over towards Clementine with normal expressions across their faces. Luke, however, was shocked to see they wanted to send her.

"Wait, wait, hold on..." Luke interrupted, unsure if they could send Clementine on her own. "She's the plan?"

Kenny merely shrugged in response as Clementine did not yet answer.

Clementine, realizing that everyone was right and she would be the only one to get out of the yard via the rope that Jane commonly used for her job here. She did not wish to go, but it was necessary. "Let's go."

Everyone nodded in agreement and proceeded over towards the rope. Mike picked up Clementine and held her on his shoulders while she grabbed the rope and yanked it down.

Rebecca briefed Clementine on her job that she needed to do. "Be sure to remember to flip the switch for the outdoor speakers. Just the indoor speakers might not draw the herd." by now, Clementine had grabbed onto the rope with her feet rested on the hook. "It's right on the microphone box."

"Right." she nodded.

"By default it's set to play music, so you should just have to turn it on, right? Then climb back up and drop into the stockroom. We will meet you there." Rebecca finished and hoped Clementine had remembered all this.

To be sure she remembered all of her instructions; Clementine repeated what Rebecca had said. "Down into the office, outdoor speaker switch, turn on the PA, up to the roof, down into the stockroom to meet you guys. That right?"

"Perfect." Rebecca smiled, but now she wondered to herself why she did not trust Clementine when Luke and Pete had brought her back to the cabin.

Mike began to pull Clementine up towards the roof again for the second time, and hopefully Troy or any other guard would not arrive again which resulted in Clementine having to make a jump for it.

"Be careful!" Sarita warned.

"Okay." Clementine simply replied.

Before she was at the top, Rebecca remembered that she had forgot to mention one more thing, and walked closer towards Mike for the young girl to hear her. "Clem! Make sure you bring Alvin."

Clementine nodded in agreement as she reached over towards the ladders, pulled herself through the ladder cage and proceeded to climb up towards the roof. The second she was up, Clementine felt relieved to see a guard was not present this time (possibly assisting Carver with the so-called breach) and ran over towards the skylight over Carver's office.

She opened the skylight and jumped down onto some metal lockers and then proceeded down onto the ground. Once she was in, the first thing Clementine noticed was the unconscious man sitting on the office chair, complete unconscious with blood smeared around his entire body. But the real question was if he was dead or not? "Alvin!"

Clementine approached him to check if he was okay, but once she was closer, it did not look good. "Alvin? Are-are you okay?"

"..." no response.

She placed his hand upon his shoulder and shook him a couple of times, but he was still unresponsive. Realizing he was not going to wake up any time soon (if he was alive, that is) Clementine proceeded over towards the PA system to turn it on before anyone showed up.

She walked behind Carver's desk and approached the microphone and noticed a couple of buttons, and one of them was labelled 'outdoor'. She clicked it, and out came a slight static noise from the mic. "Okay, now the mic." Clementine turned the volume knob to its fullest, but there was no sound playing by default like Rebecca said. "Wh-what's wrong?" she tried turning the volume again, but it did not work.

Clementine noticed the green and red wires leading into the back of a CD player and mainly focused her attention on the CD receiver. She pressed the play button in an attempt to turn it on, but there was still no sound playing. "No, no, no, no.." Clementine opened up the CD disc tray and noticed there was no disc inside which might explain why it did not work. "No, where are they?"

Looking around the area, Clementine found the disc she was looking for and in the quick of an eye; she picked it up and dropped it into the CD disc tray, followed by closing it. She pressed the play button one more time and prayed it would work. "Come on, come on...Please work."

Clementine twisted the volume knob to its fullest, and a smile rose across her face when a woman's voice recording began playing. And it did sound pretty loud too. It worked!

Clementine looked out of the window to see Bonnie looking in her direction for a moment before running over towards the security shutters, possibly to get her friends out while they had the chance. Clementine suddenly turned around when hearing someone's footsteps behind her to see it was Alvin. Thank the Lord he was alive!

Alvin fell back into Carver's office chair and began searching his draw for something.

"Alvin? Wh-what's wrong?" Clementine inquired.

Alvin did not respond to her question, but he did find what he was looking for. He pulled out an Iver Johnson Derringer pistol, a rather short gun that was quite old and could only fire one bullet, and leaned back against the chair. "Carver talks all that tough guy shit...Then keeps the tiniest gun in the universe...Something funny about that."

Clementine ran back towards the window to see Carver, Tavia, Hank, and an unnamed guard speaking with each other before heading off in different directions. She knew one of them was going to come here to switch off the PA system and had to be fast to get out of here. She looked towards Alvin's expression like he was trying to say "I won't make it", and she realized this. But she did have one final request: "Can I have the gun?"

The thought of a little girl wielding a gun caused Alvin to laugh. "Jesu-Jesus, d-don't make me laugh...Hurts too much. I ain't going to let my last act on this Earth by handing a firearm to a child."

"What are you talking about?" Clementine inquired, not liking what he said about "last act".

"I ain't fit to move, kid. I've...I've run out of road." Alvin explained.

Both of them shifted their attention to the exit of Carver's office when they heard someone coming. "Let's...No I'll-I'll just go up there and shut that thing off!" it was Hank.

"You got to get out of here. They will be here any second. " Alvin warned.

Clementine did not want to leave him and let any other kind person like him die, but if she stayed, then both of them would die. "Thank you." she thanked, desperate to hold back anymore tears. She ran back towards the way she came, but stopped when Alvin had one final request for her. "You take care of my girls...I get the feeling it's-it's going to be a girl..."

Clementine smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, but not before climbing back up the lockers and over towards the skylight.

"Just a hunch. Go on." Alvin coughed during his final words.

Clementine took one last look behind her to see Hank had ran inside, armed with a Single Action Army revolver, and the first thing he did was noticed Alvin was not where he was before, but he was over towards Carver's desk, and he only assumed he was the one to turn on the PA.

Without hesitation, Hank shot Alvin in his shoulder. With his dying breath, Alvin lifted up his derringer pistol and shot Hank in his chest, killing him instantly. "Ahh!"

Alvin fell to the side motionless and died with his eyes open. Clementine, whom was watching the entire thing, closed her eyes for a moment to mourn the loss of her friend, but she had to continue otherwise his sacrifice would have been for nothing.

Once she was on the roof, Clementine looked down below to see their plan had worked and the horde of walkers were approaching She continued running towards the other skylight while the woman accounted continued to attract walkers.

"From charcoal briquettes to propane tanks, Howe's has all you need to make your day special."

She suddenly continued running when Tavia had emerged out of nowhere and made haste to escape. She froze however when hearing someone fire an automatic rifle, and it sounded like it was coming from the stockroom.

"This week only, Kennedy lead blowers are 22% off. Howe's that for a deal?"

Clementine opened the skylight and dropped herself onto a crate. She watched in shock however to see everyone in her group was being held at gunpoint by Carver, whom look extremely angry that they would try to escape again. Mostly everyone kept their hands raised into the air as others lowered their weapons.

"You want to disrespect me, fine. You want to throw away the life...I'm trying to build for us all...then fucking fine!" Carver told them as he paced up and down the room. "You want to run off with this dogshit group of cripple fucks, then fine! By my guest."

Luke shifted his attention up towards the shelves to see Clementine slowly shimming her way across. He had no idea what she was doing, but he sure hoped she did something soon before Carver's executed them.

"But I will put a bullet in you and that baby before I let you leave again with my child!" Carver told Rebecca, refusing to let her leave again with his possible child.

"It's not yours!" Rebecca snapped, but she was uncertain herself if this was true or not.

"You don't fucking know that!" Carver clashed, yelling slightly as he aimed his gun towards each and every one of them. "And until we do, you're not going anywhere."

In an attempt to save her friends, Clementine leaped off the shelves and kicked Carver forward, knocking him off balance. Kenny quickly responded by raising his fist and striking Carver directly in his face, and then Luke proceeded to finish him off by snatching his Ak-47 off of him and aiming it towards him. "Get back."

Carver slowly raised his hands into the air as everyone lowered their hands and picked up their weapons, and while Clementine got herself back up. "Come on, Luke. This ain't none of your business."

"Clem, where...why isn't Alvin with you? Where is he?" Rebecca inquired, but after seeing the sad full expression across Clementine's face, that told her everything. She closed her eyes in sadness over the death of her husband. "Alvin..."

Luke was in a loss of words as he was unsure what to say. "Rebecca, I am...Oh, God, I am so sorry."

An angry expression rose across her face, and she promised herself to avenge her husband by ridding this evil man from this world. "Kill him."

Luke's expression changed into a surprised one.

"Rebecca, Rebecca sweetie, my God. How did we get here, you and me?" Carver asked her. "This is just a bit of a custody battle we got on our hands, here. "

"Shoot him." Rebecca demanded, wanting to make sure Carver would never kill or hurt anyone ever again.

Even after everything he did, Clementine did not wish to kill him as this would prove that she was no different from him, and that was just what he wanted. "We should tie him up." she suggested.

"Yeah..." Luke agreed. "...Yeah, okay, okay, we got any rope-"

No-one got the chance to answer his question when a gunshot was fire, followed by a yelling pain from Carver, whom clutched his right leg where he was shot. "Aaaaaaaarrrrghh!"

Clementine looked over towards Kenny whom was the one responsible for shooting Carver, and even with one eye, he shot him with good aim. Kenny fired one more shot into Carver's other leg, crippling him and leaving him defenseless. Once he was down, Kenny placed his Glock 17 back into his pocket and marched over towards a table and picked up a crowbar resting on it. "Go on and wait outside."

Everyone knew what he was going to do, but most of them obeyed his request. Jane, Mike, Pete and Nick proceeded over towards the shutters.

"We have to go!" Carlos told him.

"Kenny, please." Sarita pleaded.

Mike opened up the shutters that led outside into the parking lot, but none of them left yet and took one look at Kenny, whom was preparing to exact his revenge on Carver. "I only need a minute." Kenny assured. "Go on. You don't need to see this."

"That girl's already seen more than you can imagine." Carver told him.

"Shut your mouth, Bill!" Luke ordered, but he did not agree with Kenny's plan to make him suffer. "You're all just going to let him do this?

"Yes." Rebecca answered her being the only one agreeing with Kenny as she folded her arms together.

"There ain't one part of that son of a bitch I don't hate, but that does not make this right." Luke told them.

Clementine did not want Kenny to proceed on what he was planning and attempted to convince him to change his mind. "Kenny? Please, don't do this..."

"It's got to be done, Clem." Kenny told her.

"Look at you...you fucking ingrates." Carver accused them. "You don't even know how good you got it."

One by one, everyone turned around and walked over towards the exit of the stockroom. The only ones remaining were Clementine, Kenny, Luke, and Sarita.

"That's all right...you will learn." Carver assured as Clementine moved into a different position around him. "Lambs to the slaughter. No shepherd to guide you. Clementine knows exactly what I'm talking about."

"Come on." Sarita said to Clementine, acting somewhat of a motherly-figure to her.

"Come on, Clem." Luke requested, not wanting to let her see what was going to happen next.

"Fucking big man now, huh?" Carver asked Kenny, whom now stood only a couple of feet away from him with the crowbar clutched tightly in his hands.

"Let's go." Sarita repeated a second time.

As much as Clementine wanted nothing more than to watch Carver pay, she would not let herself go to that level, knowing that is just what Carver wanted. She proceeded to walk away, but stopped when Carver called out to her. "Oh, come on Clementine, don't be like that. Don't run away...You know you want to see the show. Who do you think you're fooling, huh? I know you. I know who you are."

Sarita placed her hands upon Clementine's shoulders and escorted her outside. "Let's go."

"Yeah, go on." Carver encouraged them to go. "Let the sheep out of the pen. We will see how long that lasts."

"I'll be right there." Rebecca called out to the others.

"You won't see anything." Kenny clashed.

"That's funny coming from you." Carver admitted. "How's that eye? Just follow me voice...It will get you there. You got a thick fucking skull, Kenneth. Should have put you out of your misery right then...Now look at ya. You're a mess." he turned towards Rebecca. "The fuck are you looking at, bitch? Don't act like you didn't love every second of it-"

Without hesitation, Kenny whacked the crowbar once off Carver's face and then again in his eye, killing him and finally ending his tyranny. However, Kenny was not satisfied yet and continued to brutally beat Carver's face in at least sixteen times all together. After one final hit, Kenny was finished and you could no longer recognize Carver's face. "Let's go." he told Rebecca.

Rebecca knelt down to Carver and took his Python before leaving, her expression showed no remorse for him dying. She was glad he was dead and was more than happy to watch Kenny make him suffer for everything he did to herself and others.

Meanwhile, outside of the building, everyone waited for Kenny and Rebecca to return as they could hear the sounds of Kenny smashing Carver's head in with his crowbar. Jane did not seem to care much, but Carlos had covered up his daughter's ears to prevent her from hearing anything.

"That's not the Kenny I know in there..." Sarita admitted towards Kenny, shocked that her boyfriend would do something like that. "I wish...I thought...I could save him."

Kenny and Rebecca had returned after they were done with Carver. Rebecca was helped down by Luke and Kenny jumped down and almost fallen over, and was about to be assisted by his girlfriend, but he quickly assured her he was fine. "No, no, I'm-I'm all right. Come on...we got enough to worry about."

Nick observed the many walkers in the distance and felt all hope was lost already. "Man, we're never going to make it through this."

"We don't have much choice now, Nick." Pete told him.

"You kidding me? If Clem can handle it, you can." Luke assured in whispered tone.

Kenny noticed a couple of walkers approaching them and assumed this was not going to end well. "Shit. I thought they were coming from the south."

"They did...Looks like we're in the eye of it now." Rebecca stated the obvious.

"Fuck...This is fucked." Mike admitted, thinking that he may have just made the biggest mistake of his life.

"Here." Luke handed a hatchet towards Clementine as he pulled out his machete preparing to fight off the horde of walkers. "You're going to need something."

"Thanks." she thanked.

"Summer heat got you hot? Cool off with our selection of above ground pools. Talk to a friendly..."

Clementine raised her weapon and killed the walker approaching her with one hit. She turned around to see Jane had did the same, and by the looks of it, it was time to blend in. She never thought in a million years she would be doing this again, but it was necessary in order to survive.

Nearby, Clementine looked towards her left when she heard gunfire coming from the rooftops. This was somewhat good as this would distract the walkers for a little while.

Jane stabbed her knife into the walker's stomach and opened up its entire body, and collected its insides and began to smear them across herself. "You guys better hurry up and get to smearing if you want to live. Or you can die here...Doesn't matter to me."

Clementine cut open the walker she had just killed with her hatchet and opened up its insides. Now it was her turn to smear herself in walker guts.

"Oh, God..." Rebecca gasped.

"Ugh." Sarah cringed at the sight of seeing a walker's insides.

"Do it quick. We need to get covered before the rest of them get close or we're fucked." Jane warned them.

"This isn't going to work..." Rebecca admitted.

"I'll go first." Clementine said to Sarah, digging her hands into the walker and pulling out its body parts as she began to smear the blood all across herself.

"You're going to put that on yourself?" Sarah asked, unsure if she wanted to go along with this.

"We have to, Sarah." Clementine replied before she began rubbing walker bloods around her face, her neck, and all across her torso. "Okay, now you. Turn around." she picked up some more walker blood and began rubbing it against Sarah's back.

"Smells gross." Sarah admitted.

"No shit." Mike sarcastically replied.

"Everybody shut the fuck up and get covered." Jane ordered, knowing they did not have much more time.

Carlos, whom was now covered in walker guts, walked over towards his daughter and helped Clementine smear walker guys around her while keeping her calm. "It will be okay, honey." Just stay still."

"Are...are you sure?" Sarah inquired.

"I'm sure." Carlos assured as he began rubbing guts around the front part of her body while Clementine continued to rub her back. "There's nothing to fear if you remain calm. I'll keep you safe."

"Hurry the fuck up." Jane requested, folding her arms together when Carlos had finally finished covering up Sarah.

"Turn around." Carlos told Clementine, realizing her back was not yet covered. "I'll get your back."

Once everyone was covered in walker guts and were ready to go, Kenny did a quick check on everyone to make sure they were ready. "We ain't got all day here, everybody ready? They're almost on us."

"What in the actual fuck is going on here?!"

Everyone turned around to see it was Troy, whom had arrived when he noticed them out here. Now they were screwed. He even had his AK-47 with him like usual.

"What is this sick shit?" Troy inquired when he noticed them covered in walker guts. "Someone say something before I start-" he noticed Luke about to reach for his Ak-47 and stopped him by aiming his gun towards him and forced him to stand up. "HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY! Don't you even fucking think about it motherfucker. I will end you! You hear me?!"

Jane stood back up and slowly began approaching Troy seductively while she began to sweet talk him. But what he was unaware of is that Jane was carrying a Glock 17 behind her back. "Troy. Troy, we talked about this."

"What? The fucking you talking about?" Troy asked as he began backing away from her, having no recall of her mentioning something like this.

"I told you I wanted to get out. You said you would help, then I would help." Jane reminded him, but she would have to make this fast as the horde of walkers were extremely close.

"I thought you meant get out of the pen!" Troy replied. "Not whatever the fuck this shit is!"

The horde of walkers were now on them, and everyone was scared once they got close, but they were relieved to see it was working, and the walkers passed them like they were one of them. Instead, they all had their attention focused on Troy.

"I did, but now we can leave. Troy...you can come with us." Jane offered.

"What?" Troy's expression softened as he lowered his gun and thought about her offer. "Well...where would we go?"

"Away from here...together..." Jane replied with a smile across her face.

"Man, you smell really bad." Troy admitted as he raised a smile across his face, and this was the first time most of them had ever seen him smile. "You got to get a bath before we-"

While he was distracted, Jane snatched his Ak-47 into her free hand, and she brought out her Glock 17 and shot Troy in his crotch. He screamed in agonizing pain as he held his hands where his crotch use to be and collapsed to the ground. "AHH! YOU SHOT MY DICK OFF! You bitch!"

"Come on." Jane told them as she handed Bonnie the rifle she took from Troy. They all began to slowly move through the horde of walkers while Jane gave them advice on what to do. "Don't make any noise, got it? They might hear something they don't like. And for fuck's sake, WAlK. Act like you belong and you will belong."

Everyone began to move out as walkers devoured the helpless Troy. No-one expected Jane to do this, but it was necessary and now he finally paid for working with Carver and all the pleasure he took for hurting those who could not fight back.

Carlos took a quick look behind him to see Sarah and Clementine behind him. He hoped he would be able to protect her while they moved through the horde of walkers.

"We got this y'all..." Luke assured in a whispered tone. "Is that Tavia?"

Clementine looked over at the roof to see multiple of Carver's men shooting the walkers below them. They prayed one of them would not fire in their direction and shoot at them for mistaking them for a walker. They continued marching through the horde of walkers.

"Stay calm..." Jane told them.

"Shh..." Luke shushed them. "We're going to be okay."

"Don't run." Jane reminded.

"Watch Sarah." Mike whispered when he could hear Sarah beginning to panic.

"Shhh. Quiet, honey." Carlos soothed towards his daughter, knowing that if he did not keep her calm then her cover could be exposed, and he would not be able to help her without exposing himself. "Clementine, come help me! Calm her down. Please. Just say something. You're her friend."

A walker could hear Sarah's panicking tone and turned towards her to investigate.

Clementine was unsure on what she could say.

"Clementine, you-" Carlos did not get the chance finish when he was suddenly shot in the side of his neck, causing him to collapse to the ground. "Aaargghgh!"

"DAD!" Sarah screamed, she could only watch as two walkers jumped onto her father and began to devour into him. She continued screaming towards him while placing her hands to her head. This by what Carlos meant by "Ceasing to function". "DAD! DADDDD!"

Her cries attract the attention of nearby walkers, and now everyone had to expose themselves in order to save her. Sarita acted first by stabbing a walker, and then Bonnie helped out by shooting walkers with her Ak-47. "Sarah!"

"Kenny!" Sarita gasped.

"Man, goddamn it!" Mike yelled.

"I can't get you, babe!" Kenny called out to his girlfriend as he was unable to assist her.

Sarah was devastated by her father's death and began crying, and by the looks of it, she did not seem to realize she was in a horde of walkers. "Please daddy...no..."

"Sarah, get a hold of yourself!" Clementine did not wish to mean, but it was necessary if she was going to survive this. She looked around for an opening to escape, but there was not one and she turned back around to find her. "Sarah did you-"

Sarah became too hysterical and had run away into the horde of walkers, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Unable to help her friend, Clementine had to defend herself from the oncoming walkers. She killed the first walker that got close to her by whacking the side of its face with her hatchet. Another walker approached her, but instead of killing it, she leaped out of the way and caused the walker to fall down. She jumped up to see another walker approaching her and stabbed it in its forehead. She struggled to retrieve her weapon but she broke it free just in time to kill another walker approaching her.

Clementine ran towards the horde of walkers when she heard of gasped, and what she saw next left her shocked. She watched as a walker was biting into Sarita's right wrist, and the woman desperately tried to escape. She was bitten and this means she was going to turn...Unless. Clementine took a quick second to think about the time when Lee was bitten. She remembered Christa mentioning how they decided to cut his arm off after it had been at least half-hour after he had been bit. But it did not work.

The first thing that she figured was Lee waited too long to cut it off which resulted in the infection spreading into his body. Maybe if she amputated her arm quick enough she could save her, but that would result in her losing blood fast and they did not have a doctor anymore.

Without thinking and in a desperate attempt to save her friend, she slammed the hatchet into Sarita's arm, causing a big mark in her arm. "Oh, my God!" Sarita gasped.

With one more hit, Sarita's arm had been sliced off completely and the walker now had her arm to chew on. Clementine was not proud of what she did, and wish things could have been different but she had to save her friend. Sarita clutched onto the rest of her arm and screamed in horror at the sight of blood dripping from her arm. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

The end, ladies and gentleman. I know nothing much changed in this chapter, but I wanted to finish off the episode rather than just leaving it to end with the last chapter. I will now be updating "Fight for Survival" now that this story is over. And I would like to thank everyone for reading. Much appreciated.

Assassin's Creed Master out.
