If there was one thing that Clementine hated about her life, it was her luck.

Not only had she been forced to grow up in an apocalyptic world, she had lost both of her parents, all of her friends, and had been forced to shoot her guardian before he could become one of those...those things.

But the past forty-eight hours had easily proved to be the worst she had experienced since the end. After stealing medicine from the New Frontier - a group she swore to take down if it was the last thing she did - to help her charge, AJ. She'd been kicked out of the group, and had her little goofball taken away from her. But, before she could come up with a rescue plan, she'd been attacked by walkers.

Armed with nothing but a broken dagger, the young teenager fought her way through the small cluster of undead beasts. But she quickly realized that she had gotten turned around during the fray, and had no clue where that asshole David's camp was.

Growling to herself, the teen chose a direction in hopes that she had chosen the right direction.

That was how she found the mountain.

"Son of a bitch!" She screamed, no longer caring about the risk of attracting walkers. "How the fuck did I end up here?!"

Maybe this was fate's way of saying that she couldn't save AJ; that she should just give up.

"Fuck..."

The girl looked at back at the woods that she had traversed through. There was no way in hell that she'd be able to find David and the New Frontier. And even then, what she going to do? Stab them with half a dagger until they either gave her AJ or shot her?

"Why does this always happen to me?" She asked herself, dropping her cold demeanor. "Why is it that every time - every fucking time - I try to protect someone I care about, I end up losing them?"

She wished she could go back to the days where she didn't have to worry about surviving. Back to when she could act as carefree as she wanted without the risk of being killed or robbed.

"Raugh..." Clementine was suddenly pulled from her self-pity by the sound of walkers. She looked back at the woods and saw a herd of walkers creeping towards her.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me." She considered killing the nearest walker and covering herself with its scent, but she knew that the rest of the herd would tear her apart before she could.

'Guess I'm going hiking,' she thought as she ran towards the mountain.

Running as quickly as she could, Clementine headed towards the mountain top, praying that she'd be able to lose these undead fuckers. She was certain that she'd come out on top this time; that she'd be able to escape and find her only companion left in this hellhole of a world. She glanced back at the herd and grinned as she watched them fall behind.

And then she tripped on a root.

She instinctively clutched her ankle and winced when she realized that is was sprained. Her chance at escaping was gone. As the herd drew nearer, Clementine sighed. She had come so far, and had survived many horrors during the apocalypse, only to be done in by a dead root.

Life just had to get in one more cruel joke, didn't it?

Clementine tuned out the sound of the approaching walkers, and surveyed her surroundings. There was nothing that could help her defend herself.

"There couldn't have been a machine gun or something?"

Hey, if she was about to die, then she might as well try and get in one more snarky remark.

Looking around one last time, the young woman spotted a hole in the ground, not far from where she currently was. Not wanting to put pressure on her injured ankle and risk tumbling down towards the herd, she crawled towards it.

She wasn't sure why the hole interested her, but she figured that she had time to kill before the herd killed her. She looked down into pit, and found that she couldn't see the bottom.

'Well, dying in a hole in a mountain beats turning into one of them.'

Clementine took a deep breath, and plunged into the mountain.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe, Goofball," she said, thinking about AJ. "Lee, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to keep myself safe. I'm sorry for everything that I've done and for the people that I've gotten killed."

Clementine sighed and closed her eyes. She hadn't imagined her life ending like this. She always figured that she'd probably end up being shot, or that AJ would shoot her after being bitten.

Time seemed to slow down as she made her descent. As she fell, she thought about the people that she had met throughout the four and a half years of death and turmoil that had faced. Friendly faces such as Luke, Lee, and Kenny came to mind. Even assholes and awful people such as Carver, the Stranger, and the St. Johns.

Clementine sighed again as she realized the ground was coming closer. She knew that life wasn't fair, but she found herself silently swearing and crying about how she didn't want it to end yet.

'At least I'll get to see them again,' she thought as she felt her back hit the ground.


"Jesus fucking Christ, everything hurts!" Clementine groaned as she regained consciousness.

The injured girl looked at her surroundings, confused as to how she ended up here. She looked down and saw that she was lying in a bed of flowers. The room - Cavern? She wasn't entirely sure yet - had spider webs growing here and there, showing that no one had been here in a very long time.

"Maybe that shit with the walkers was a dream. There's no way in hell that someone could survive a fall like that."

But, looking up at the ceiling proved her wrong. For up at the top was an incredibly small hole that was letting light in.

"Huh, you'd think that after all the shit I've been through, that would've been the end. Not that I'm complaining though."

The young survivor stood up and winced as the pain coming from her ankle. Taking another look around, she found an old branch that looked as though it could support her weight. She picked it up and applied pressure, hoping that it wouldn't snap. Thankfully, it didn't.

Clementine limped through the cavern and walked through an old doorway. The next room seemed to be emptier than the first, with only another doorway and a single flower in the middle.

For some reason, she felt as though she wasn't alone.

"Hello?" She called, brandishing her broken dagger. "If there's anyone here, you better show yourself!"

"Howdy!" an unknown voice called.

"What the-? Where are you? Show yourself!"

"Down here!" the voice called.

Clementine looked down and gasped in surprise. The voice that had called to her wasn't a person, but the flower.

"Howdy!" it said again, a large smile adorning its face. "My name is Flowey, Flowey the Flower!"

'The hell have I gotten myself into?'


Author's note: And that's the first chapter done! I've been binge playing TWDG for the past few days and I felt the need to write this. At first, I considered taking something cutesy (Like Sofia the First or somethin') and putting that into a Walking Dead type situation, but I wanted to include Clem in some way, so this happened. See ya next time!
