Never Alone

by jamese765

Two years have passed since the end of "We're A Team", and Clementine has found herself on her own. Without Kenny or Jeff, she struggles, until one fateful day she meets a man trying to save his family from the group known as The New Frontier. New and old faces come together as the adventure continues. (Rated T for the expected violence)

1. Prologue

Prologue:

"They're closing in! Clem, get AJ and get out of here! I'll take Abby and we'll meet back up with you, when we can!"

"No, Jeff! We can't split up!"

"We have no choice! It's that or we all die!"

The walkers closed in on her, as she held AJ close, while Jeff took several out to protect the little girl on his back. Seeing an opening, she ran, watching as Jeff and Abby fled the other way. It hurt to see them vanish into the trees, but she knew they all had to keep going.

"AJ, come on! We're getting out of this mess!"

She didn't stop. She didn't look back. She just kept running.

As she stood alone in the woods, Clementine fought hard to keep the memories from overwhelming her. It hurt to think about how she had lost everyone to a variety of things. She was alone and had been for months. The last time she remembered being alone was for less than a day, way back when she had escaped a walker infested Savannah, Georgia. In the span of a week, she had lost it all: Katjaa, Duck, Omid, Christa, Chuck,...and Lee. Though she barely knew some of them, it still hurt to think that they gave their lives, just so she could live. The same had happened with the cabin group. Luke, Nick, Pete, Carlos, Sarah, Alvin, Rebecca….all gone. In the end, all she had were Kenny, AJ, Jeff, and Abby. Now, she had no one and had been fighting hard to survive, without help.

As she continued to dwell on the past, she heard a noise. Cautiously, she moved closer to the nearby road, where she saw a truck. "Perfect," she said to herself, before moving to spring her trap.
