Silence. Silence seemed the be one of the many evils in this world that was a constant reminder of how horrible everything was. The world around them was silent, they were silent, everything was just silent, as Dallas and Clementine walked through an open field, out into the countryside. Once they were sure that Lee wouldn't turn, Dallas had taken Clementine by the hand and they left the building together, making their way out of the city as quickly as they could, being sure not to waste any time as they went. After they had escaped the city, they had slowed down to a walk, deciding they might as well take their time, who knows when they would find Carley and Molly. Both of them didn't say a single word as they walked through the tall grass, the grass that brushed against their elbows as they pushed their way through. Clementine still had the gun in her hand, having not left it behind when they were escaping the jewellery store, deciding that it would be useful to have, just in case they came to any trouble. Along with her empty gun, the only other weapon they had between them was Dallas' machete, which was safely back in its sheath on his back, ready to use at a moment's notice. Whether they would need to yet, remained unseen. Looking out across the fields, Dallas could see for miles, not a figure in sight as he scanned the horizon for any sign of life. He really hoped that Molly and Carley made it out of the city alive, made it out to the countryside alive, and were waiting for them to arrive, so that they could continue living. Ever since they left Savannah, Clementine hadn't said a word to Dallas, refusing to meet his gaze the entire time, probably still thinking about what she did to Lee. Why had she insisted on being the one to shoot him? Dallas could've easily done, saving her the pain. So why would she want to? Maybe she needed it, needed to help her grow as a person, grow in maturity, readying herself for the world at large. That's why Lee had told Dallas to stop talking, so that she could take that moment and use it, helping her to push through life. The pair soon came to a break in the fence and stepped through, walking over to nearby log to sit on, resting their feet.

"So, how you doing?" Dallas asked, looking up at the clouds passing overhead, the sunrise lighting them all up.

"Fine, I think," she replied, staring down at the ground, kicking around a couple of bullets.

"You're sure you're okay?" he insisted, moving his gaze down to meet hers.

"Yes. I'm okay. It was horrible, but I'm okay, don't worry," she said, taking a hold of Dallas' hand for comfort. "What are we going to do now? Where will we go?"

"We just have to keep moving, and hopefully, we'll find Molly and Carley soon," he told her, looking over at the nearby hills, some movement catching his eye.

"Are you sure we're going to be able to find them? This place is so big, they could be anywhere," Clementine pointed out, wondering what her guardian was looking at.

"I think they're okay," Dallas said, standing up to get a better look at the horizon. Almost out of his vision, walking along a nearby hill, was a lone figure, just pacing along, not taking notice of their surroundings.

"Walker?" Clementine asked, standing up to be beside Dallas, watching the figure move along.

"I'm not sure." As they were watching the figure, it suddenly stopped in its tracks and turned to face them, walking towards them rather than wherever they were walking before.

"Come on Clem, let's go see who, or what it is," Dallas said, leading the way across the field. As the pair slowly moved forward, the distant figure slowly came into view, more of their features being recognisable. Black combats were the first thing Dallas noticed, stepping across the field towards them, taking each step carefully, as if they were trying to remain inconspicuous. Stretchy black jeans, enough to show off their legs, while still helping them to be a whole lot better at moving around easily. Orange, zip-up hoodie, with a strap across the front, which more than likely meant they had a backpack on their back, containing whatever supplies they may have. If all this wasn't enough to convince Dallas, then the tell-tale ice pick on her hip, the short blonde hair and the blue hair clip finished it all off. When the two finally met up, they stood a couple of metres away from each other, just examining each other.

"Molly?" Clementine asked, looking up at the woman, a small smile appearing on her face.

"Hey," she said, her face covered in blood and dirt.

"Where's Carley?" Dallas asked, looking behind her along the field to find their friend. Molly looked at him, a sad face telling him all he needed to know about where Lee's wife and their friend was.

"We were leaving the city and we got overrun. We must've taken a wrong turn or something, because those things were everywhere. I grabbed her by the arm and started to run, pulling her along so that she didn't get left behind. The only weapon between us was Hilda, so I knew that if we got trapped, there was no way we were going to make it out of there alive. The next thing I knew, we were cornered, no way to escape. I found an opening and ran for it, but Carley noticed too late and she was trapped. I tried to go back and save her, but she told me to go, to save myself. She told me that if Lee was still alive when I found you guys, to tell him she loves and that I need to watch out for you two, that was all she asked. After that, there were too many of them for me to see her. She vanished. I don't know where she went, but there was no way she couldn't have gotten out of there without a miracle. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." Dallas and Clementine looked at her in shock, neither of them sure what to say.

"So it's just us three?" Clementine asked, looking up at her older companions.

"I guess so," Dallas replied, looking out to the horizon.

"What do we do now?" Molly questioned, standing beside Dallas to watch the sunrise with him.

"We survive."

So here we are guys, the end of a journey, the end of a story.

I know this is only my first fanfiction, but I am still happy with the feedback I received, more reviews, favourites and follows then I was expecting from it ^_^

Hopefully, as I write more and more stories, more and more people will come to join the fold, to become a Bookie of Awesomeness :D

I would like to thank Tactus501st and Rebloxic for your kind words and help, you two have been amazing, I love you guys heaps, and I hope you continue to read the rest of my future work. Everyone else that have favourited my story, followed my story or reviewed it, I am also thankful to you, you all motivated me to keep on writing all of my chapters, love you all to pieces :3

I'll admit, everything that you read, not all of it was what I was originally planning to, a lot of it changed along the way, and I even added some things in. It didn't end up how I planned at all, but I am very happy with the end result, it turned out a whole lot better than expected ^_^

I hope that as I write more, I will also start to improve my writing as well (I can dream), so here's to trying :P

Finally, I have already started work on the next story in my TWDG series, titled My Safe Haven, so expect that to come out very soon, I have a few chapters ready to start posting very soon.

If there are any small things you want me to maybe do for you, some one-shots or something, I'll take them into consideration and get back to you ^_^

So yeah, I'm all done for now, woo

Any questions you have, or any suggestions or something, PM me please, I love hearing from you guys :)

Anyway, farewell my Bookies of Awesomeness, see you in my next story, have a great day/night, no matter where you are :D
