We should go our own way when we get there. Our crew is falling apart. And you and I are stronger together.

What about the boat…? What about Ben?

He'll be fine.

Okay… Can we at least look for my parents when we get there, before we go?

They're dead. We have to move on…

No they're not…do you want them to be?

We need to separate from the group. But we'll look for your parents first…come here, hon. I'm sorry. Don't Cry.

If we don't find them, then we go. But if we do they come with us.

Okay. That's the plan…

Lee walked further through the large fields surrounding Savannah, still holding Clementine comfortingly as she sobbed into his shirt. "Sshsshssh, it's alright." Lee said quietly, rubbing Clem's back.

"I saw them…" Clementine sniffed. "Both of them."

"I know. I'm so sorry, sweet pea." Lee said.

Clem lifted her head from Lee's shoulder and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. "You were right…I'm so sorry…" Clementine said, through quick and short breaths.

"What? No…no, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said something like that, you're only a little girl." Lee said, laying his hand gently on Clementine's head.

"How long did you know they were dead?" Clementine asked, as she lay her head back down on Lee's shoulder.

"What do you mean?" Lee asked.

"You wouldn't have said it if you didn't know…" Clementine said.

"When…when I was in your house. I heard the answering machine beeping, so I clicked it and there were three messages. One saying your dad had an 'incident' with a crazy guy. The next said they were shutting the city down. The last one was to tell you to call nine-one-one…" Lee sighed.

Clementine didn't say anything, she just looked around the endless fields, and attempted not to cry. She leaned back into Lee's arms and sighed, listening to the soft rustling of the nearby leaves and tall grass. "I…I don't know…I don't know what to do now…I don't feel good." Clem said, her voice incredibly choked up.

"Hush now…just rest. Let's just try and find Omid and Christa and get as far away from this city as we can, alright?" Lee said.

"Okay…" Clementine said. "Where do we go when we find them?"

"Not sure. I told them to meet us back at the train if we get out. Maybe try and get the train somewhere. Considering that hoards moved through." Lee said, confidently.

"Okay, that sounds…Lee…up there…" Clem whispered pointing weakly over to two distant and small figures on the top of a nearby hill.

Lee carefully put Clementine back on her feet, and pulled out the pistol from the back of his pants, checking the ammo magazine. "Just two bullets…crap…" Lee said.

"It could be Omid and Christa." Clementine said.

"It could also be strangers…" Lee said.

"Strangers are bad, right?" Clementine said.

"They can be…" Lee said, gazing at the hill, using his hand as a visor. "I can't see…if it is Christa and Omid then we need to meet back up with them. If it's…not…shit."

"Lee?" Clem asked, nervously.

"I think they see us…" Lee huffed.

"What do we do?" Clementine gulped.

"Sh, just stay calm. We got this. Dream team, right?" Lee said, humorously, attempting to lighten the mood.

"Right…" Clementine said, shakily.

Lee looked back up the two figures, they were definitely coming towards him; the figures were moving forward towards the two rather than across the hill like they were before. "Just let me do the talking. And act cute, on the chance they're not 'complete' assholes that might help." Lee said.

"Okay…act cute...how do I do that?" Clem asked.

"You're doing it. Just be yourself, that's enough…uh…take the hat off?" Lee said.

Clem hesitantly took off her hat and held it close to her chest.

"No, wait. Hat on." Lee said.

"Okay…so what do I-

"Hey, you armed?" A female southern voice said from next to Lee and Clem.

Lee snapped his head over and pointed the pistol in their direction. "That answer it? Look, I've had a shitty day, so why don't you just move the hell along." Lee growled violently.

"Thought so. I have no problem robbing assholes. The gun. Now. And that kid's radio." A man said, holding up a rifle in Lee's direction. "I would take your clothes, but you reek of death."

"Least I can wash that out…" Lee retaliated, tightening his finger on the trigger. "We seem to be at a crossroad. There's two options, we can shoot each other and a nine year old girl will be left on her own, or we can both leave…"

"Grab 'er." The man ordered.

The woman went to grab Clementine, being cut off by Lee shooting the man through the head without hesitation. "Holy shit!" The woman yelled, jumping down to grab the rifle, skidding down on her front. She quickly rolled around to point the rifle at Lee, reaching for the trigger, being stopped by a foot stepping down on the rifle's barrel.

Lee looked up to see Clem stepping down on it. The woman instantly pulled the rifle away, tripping Clem over. Just giving Lee enough time to grab the woman's collar, and sticking his handgun into her mouth. "I don't have a problem robbing assholes." Lee said before pulling the trigger, spraying blood and small pieces of brain across the nearby grass.

Clem slowly stood back, away from the pooling blood. Lee got up on his feet and placed the handgun in the back of his pants. "You okay, baby?" Lee asked, crouching down to Clementine's height.

Clem nodded looking around the two dead bodies. She smiled and knelt down by one of the bodies. After a second of fiddling around with something, she turned around, her back slightly bent backwards, trying to carry a heavy rifle over to Lee. "Here." Clementine groaned.

Lee smiled and took the rifle off of her, holding it by the barrel. "Good job, sweet pea." Lee chuckled. "We should keep you with handguns for now. C'mon let's get over to that train, the gunshots will've attracted walkers."

Hope you enjoyed that first chapter! After completing the game again (and crying into my pillow for the next hour) I just felt I had to make this story for my mental health xD I plan to make it exciting with returning characters, OCs and plenty of cute moments between Clementine and Lee, so it won't be some kind of big boring story that gets old quickly… xD we'll see!
