Baby sitting was lame and boring and she could think of a million different things she'd rather be doing than to be here. Things like going on the band trip that she was supposed to be on, going to the beach, going to the mall. Really the only good thing about the baby sitting was the kid, Clementine, who was a sweet and innocent little girl who seemed to worship Becky. And honestly the feeling was mutual since Clementine wasn't at all like Travis's little brother, that kid was annoying where as Clementine knew when to let Becky play on her phone without interruption.

But apparently the WiFi didn't get that memo because her phone had cut off in the middle of her Skype session with Travis and Ben. Frustrated, she got up from the couch and approached the front door to see if she could get any signal from outside. As soon as the door opened, however, Sandra seemed to just materialized out of no where and slammed it shut.

"What did I tell you about going outside?!" She yelled. "It's dangerous! You saw what happened earlier!" Her sister gestured to her bandaged arm. "People are going nuts out there," her sister dragged her away from the door and nearly threw her onto the couch. "Why did you open the door?"

Becky looked down at her phone with a sigh. "The signal cut off in the middle of me talking with Travis and Ben, I was trying to find a new signal," she looked back up at Sandra.

"Did you forget that there is a backyard?"

"No," Becky scowled. "Look- no one was outside and even if they were I think I can see the difference between normal people and the people that attacked you."

"It doesn't matter if no one was outside, I'm in charge of both you and Clementine," her sister snapped.

"I'm seventeen, Sandra, I don't need you babysitting me," Becky pointed out.

Sandra pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a sigh. "Look- I'm tired and I'm not feeling good. Just... just look after Clem for a little while? Please, I'm begging you to stay in the backyard if you go outside."

"We'll stay in the back," she promised.

"Thank you," Sandra gave her sister a half smile in an attempt to patch things up from their argument. When Becky returned the smile, the elder sister made her way up the stairwell with a slight stumble in her step.

It was silent in the house for the next two hours, Clementine had gone out to the tree house to play with her dolls whilst Becky looked at the news on her phone. There wasn't much updates besides the curfew and the instruction for people to stay out of the streets. She was so engrossed in reading an article on the affects the new illness that was going around had on a person that she almost missed Sandra's call.

Her voice sounded like it was in so much pain that Becky was bounding up the stairs in the matter of minutes. Pushing Clem's parents room door open, she saw Sandra hunched over a trash can, red liquid coating the insides. "Sandra, what the hell?!" Becky gaped at her sister in horror before rushing to her side and holding her hair back. "I-I need to call 911," she released a hand and fumbled for her phone.

"Don't," Sandra groaned. "They won't get here in time," she collapsed back onto the bed, blood coating her lips and dribbling down her chin. "I'm pretty sure I'm dying."

"No you're not," Becky told her firmly as she dialed and held the phone up to her ear. She grasped her sisters hand tightly. "You're going to be fine, you hear me?"

The number you are trying to reach is no longer available, please try again, the cheery voice said in her ear.

"What the fuck, I can't get through to 911?" Becky said in disbelief. "Sandra, where's the keys? I'll drive you to the hospital."

"Becky, no," Sandra said as firmly as she could. "Get some food and get out of the house. Stay in the tree house until the military or someone else comes along. I don't know what's happening, but I don't want to risk becoming one of those.. those things that attacked me. I don't want to hurt you or Clem." Sandra's bloodshot eyes searched Becky's honey brown ones. "Please, I'm asking you to do this for me."

"I can't just leave you when you're like this!" Becky argued.

"So stay until I go," Sandra sighed. "It won't be long anyway."

"Great, way to be the optimistic sister," Becky said with a roll of her eyes.

Sandra let out a weak laugh. "I'm going to miss you," her voice raw with emotion. "I-I'm so sorry that I was so hard on you, that I insisted you spend time with me instead of going on your band trip. I'm so so sorry."

"Don't be," Becky placed her remaining hand on her sisters forehead, a gentle smile on her face. "We never... we never got to spend a lot of time together. A-and even though I complained the entire time we would, I always enjoyed it. I love you, Sandra," tears blurred her vision as she spoke, her glasses almost pooling. "I don't want you to go thinking that I never loved you."

Sandra smiled weakly and placed a shaky hand to Becky's cheek. "I knew, I've always known," her voice grew fainter before a gasp cut off her words and her hand fell down onto her stomach.

"Sandra?" Becky shook her sister. "Sandra!" With a sob she placed a kiss onto her sisters forehead and wobbled into the hallway. Leaning against the wall she took off her glasses and wiped away the seemingly endless flow of tears. It was minutes before she could compose herself enough to walk towards the stairs, it was seconds before she noticed a second pair of footsteps.

Looking back, she saw Sandra at the doorway with a vacant stare and a low moan emitting from her open mouth. Stumbling backwards in horror, Sandra's gaze caught sight of her and an inhuman garble sounded. With a lurching step, Sandra started her way towards her sister with an increasing speed.

With a scream, Becky ran down the steps and slammed into the wall. She looked around in panic to see what she could use to fend off her sister, or what used to be her sister. Finally she grabbed the edge of the bookshelf and turned it so that it blocked the stair well, then got behind it and pushed it to almost fully block her sister from getting down to the first floor. She heard the thud and Sandra's enraged growls, but she didn't look to see if it fully caged her sister.

Running into the dining room she snatched Clem's book bag off of the table and ran into the kitchen, shoving food and water bottles into it. She almost missed the heavy thud of a body hitting the floor but she caught it with enough time to enter the dining area just in time. She was almost at the sliding door when she caught Sandra's reflection almost right behind her. With a scream, Becky swung the heavy bag around making a direct hit with her undead sister. Sandra hit the kitchen floor with a wet thwack and Becky was out the door and slamming it shut when her sister rose again.

She backed up to the railing, panting heavily as she stared at her sister who stared back from her place by the counter. The two stood like that for a few minutes before Sandra eventually stumbled off further into the house, and only then did Becky relax ever so slightly.

"Becky?" Clem's voice sounded from behind her.

Looking back, Becky gave the girl a shaky smile. "Looks like the tree house is gonna be our home for right now," she joked ever so weakly. It'd have to do until someone did come just as Sandra had said.

For however long that would be.

So, this is a rewrite of my first story that I published on this site. I've been wanting to rewrite it for a long time, especially since my writing has improved tremendously since my senior year when I first wrote it. And with the new season of Telltale's Walking Dead game I finally got the motivation to do it. It's going to differ from how I first was initially going to write the story but not too much.

I'm also going to be updating this story a bit more than my Jurassic Park one, this is going to be due to the fact that I don't have to load up a movie and write dialogue for this fic. I mean, I technically don't have to do that with the Jurassic Park fic but I do like having accurate lines and action scenes. So up until the first episode of the show this fic will be based purely off of the game and the choices I did.

Please let me know how you like it so far, I know Lee isn't in this first chapter but one of the things I didn't like about the first copy of this story was that I didn't explore the relationship between Sandra and Becky. But I promise Lee will be in the next chapter, and that chapter should be out within this week, possibly Tuesday or Wednesday.
