"Christa, Push!" I shout over the woman's screams. "I AM!" Christa cries out. I ran to the windows to check that there were no walkers near by things were about to get a lot louder and we didn't need anymore inconveniences. Christa was sweating and crying out as I rushed back to her side I tried to calm her as I lay a fairly clean towel under her lower region. I started to see a head form as Christa pushed a new life into the world. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing but I had to act fast no time to wonder in a world like this. I readied a pair of scissors i had found and roughly cleaned off. I helped pull the baby out and then quickly snipped the umbilical cord. The baby wasn't crying though. I started to rub its chest and back trying to remember what I could from television shows I had seen but the baby wouldn't make a sound and it, i mean she was stiff.

I looked up at Christa and I already could sense the dread in her eyes as tears started to well up. I wrapped the baby in the blankets I had out aside and looked at Christa, "Do y-you wanna see her?" I quietly said not sure if she would take it well. Christa started to wail and scream, shaking her head at me. "Omid!" Christa cried as she mourned her baby, it was hard to see her like this, especially seen as Omid had only passed around three weeks ago. As I started to stand up to take the baby away from Christa she grabbed my arm thrusting a knife into my hand, "D-Don't let her come back." I looked at the knife, I can't do this! it's a baby, I mean do infants come back?!

I nodded to Christa and left her to mourn as I went into the back room of the gas station we were holed up in. I lay the baby down and looked at her, she was beautiful, and all I could see was the man whose death I was responsible for. Every part of her looked like him I couldn't stay strong any longer, I broke down and started to sob "I'm sorry Omid, I could have stopped this, stopped it all!" I whisper to myself as I hug my knees "It's all my fault, all my fault...I miss you Lee, you could have saved them both!" I cry harder now but try to stay quiet so Christa doesn't hear me, I look down her as tears roll softly over my cheeks and fall to the floor.

I look back over to the knife laying near the baby and pick it up, "C'mon Clem gotta do it, Can't let her come back" I coach myself into taking the knife out of the protective cover as i tighten my grip on the handle. I pick up the baby and cradle her "Sorry Sweet Pea, but I have to." as I bring the knife closer that's when i hear a piercing scream "CLEMINTI-"

I throw my body forward as I wake up panting and sweating threw my clothes making my t-shirt wet. I take my hat off and run my hand over my forehead. "Where the hell are you Christa..." I sighed. We had been attacked and had gotten separated about a day ago and I had taken a trip down the river. There was no way I was going to find her all hope is gone, she could be dead or injured, hell she could be alive but ever since she lost her...Let's just say we've been distant, she probably won't even look for me.

I stood up from the dirty shore line and brushed myself off as best I could before I began to wonder down the river bank. I came across to a half broken walk way by the looks of things and began to pull myself up once I got to the top I saw a nature trail, Hmm it could lead to lodges...possible food opportunity. I walked over to the beginning of the trail and started to stroll down it being cautious for walkers but it was a nice walk too it's not often I get to enjoy the little things.

As I continued along the path I heard rustling in the trees, I readied myself as I drew closer to where the noise was originating from, Suddenly a dog came bonding in front of me. He snarled slightly as I leaned down "It's okay boy, it's okay..." I leaned in closer and took his collar turning the ID tag around on it, "Sam. Well nice to meet you Sam" Sam started to whine slightly as he turned away and sniffed the ground I watched him carefully as i followed him to where the trail ended. We came up to a camp, it looked pretty deserted. There were two tents which looked badly damaged, a old van which was riddled with rust and a old campfire. "Look's abandoned, but lets not hang around to find out okay?" I looked down at Sam as he ran off to explore.

I walked to the old tents and looked inside them. I picked up a teddy and sighed, I remember Lee gave me a teddy bear to hold onto at night, I always protested I was too old for these things but Lee said everyone was aloud to get scared. I closed my eyes to fight back the tears I was scared for the first time I felt truly alone but there was no place to be scared not in the world like it is today. I put the teddy back and stood up, I turned around and listened to Sam bark "Hey, shh it's okay!" I tried to stay quiet but keep a strict tone as i walked over to him

"I said sto-" i stopped shouting at the dog as i looked at the walker it was tied to a tree so at least we wouldn't get any nasty surprises. I picked up a heavy log that was laying next to the walker "Sorry, i guess" I swung the piece of wood down onto the walkers head it moaned as I saw part of it's skull, I continued to hit the walker on the head until i was sure it was dead. I dropped the log and pulled the pocket knife out of the mans arm, i cleaned the coagulated blood off of the knife, "Hmm not great but it'll do."

I walked over to the trash bin, "Well, here we go" I sigh and lean into the bin as my hand searches around the empty containers, "Empty, opened, no good" suddenly i grasped my hand around a can of some sorts I pulled my hand out and smiled "Oh thank God!" I sat down on the ground and began to stab the lid with my newly acquired knife.

"Please be something good, please..." i opened the can and sighed in relief as i saw a can of beans before me. I dropped the knife and began to thrust my hand into the can eating as much as i could. Sam walked up to me whining. I looked at him and sighed "I guess your pretty hungry too" I put some beans into my hand and put it down to him "Here." Sam looked at my hand but then went for the can I snatched the can up "HEY! Don't eat it all!"

That was not a good move Sam pounced for me snarling and baring his teeth I yelled out and threw my arm in-front of my face, his open mouth clamped down around my arm as his jaw locked i screamed out in pain and threw my fist repeatedly at the dog's nose. He tightened his grip and I knew i had to chose a more aggressive attack, I looked around for a weapon and saw my pocket knife, I reached out and grabbed it as i readied my grip I started to stab his muzzle repeatedly until he let go as he doubled back ready for another attack I threw my boot towards him kicking him back.

I heard a yelp and a whine as I started to relax my body slightly and pant, I couldn't breath, oh god okay calm yourself Clementine. I looked at my arm, the bite was deep and blood was surrounding my arm. I touched it and winced. I stood up and walked over to Sam. He was impaled on what must have been a tent stand, I knelt down next to him and my anger turned into sorrow, I sighed "I'm sorry Sam"

I brought the knife to Sam's head and pressed it through his head bringing an end to his suffering but not to mine.
