Also spoiler alert for those unfamiliar with the series.
All that remains: alone again.
On the bank of a river there was a young girl who had washed up there, she was wearing a purple t-shirt that had long white sleeves, blue jeans and white shoes, all of which were wet.
Her name was Clementine, she was eleven years old and had been in the apocalypse for about two years, she was not like any other eleven year old as she was hardened by losing loved ones and had lost most of her childish innocence.
She got up and remembered that she was alone, she hated being alone as it brought up many bitter memories.
Previously on the walking dead…
%%%%% 2 years ago %%%%%
An eight year old clementine was left with a babysitter in Atlanta, the babysitter died from walkers and Clementine hid on her own in her treehouse.
She then met a man who would become her greatest friend, Lee Everett a former history teacher who murdered a state senator for sleeping with his wife.
He was on his way to prison when the car he was in crashed, his leg was injured and he looked for help in Clem's house.
They had made it through the apocalypse for many months, encountering bandits, cannibals and tragedy along the way.
They had been going to Savannah, Georgia to find Clementine's parents. She had been talking to a stranger on her walkie-talkie that convinced her that he had her parents.
She had went to find her parents on her own but was kidnapped by the stranger and he did not have her parents, he only wanted to hurt lee and his group because they stole from him and caused his wife and daughter to die.
Lee ended up saving her and he killed the man by choking him to death.
They left the Marsh house and Clementine saw her parents, they were undead and she was saddened by their deaths.
Lee passed out and Clem dragged him into a nearby jewellery store, he was pale and had a fever.
He explained to her that he was bitten and that he was going to die.
She was heartbroken and he had collapsed on a nearby heater and couldn't get back up.
She was walked through on how to survive the apocalypse as she killed a walker for the first time.
There was one final choice she had to make.
"You have to shoot me, honey" Lee said in a weak, sad voice.
This one sentence changed Clementine's life forever.
Her heart sank as she released what she had to do.
"Lee no…" she said in a teary voice.
"It's okay, it's okay" he told her, "in Macon… the first days we met, do you remember?"
"Yeah, I do" she answered.
"When I went out to rescue that boy Glenn, we met a girl. She'd been bitten too and all she wanted was to not come back as a walker" he explained.
"Lee…" she gasped as she understood what happened.
"And I remember how hard it was to do that but I'm glad I did, you don't want to see me like one of them" he said sadly.
"Okay I can do it… I can" she said as she cried.
"Find Omid and Christa" he instructed, "they're probably lookin' for us right now. Stay on high ground. Don't go too far. You'll find them".
Clementine nodded solemnly.
"They'll take good care of you" he assured her.
She began to sob as she knew she had to kill him soon.
"And Clem…" he began, she looked at him.
"Keep that hair short" he told her.
"I will, I'll cut it myself" she promised him.
"And also…" he said before closing his eyes in exhaustion, he was barely breathing.
"What, what is it?" she asked.
"No, don't worry. All right…" he said as he wheezed some more breath.
"I'll miss you" he said quietly.
"Me, too" clementine said, tears welling from her eyes.
She stood up and stared at lee, they had last look at each other as she aimed her gun at him.
He closed his eyes and looked away.
She closed her eyes and aimed her gun at his head.
Bang!
Clementine had shot Lee to prevent him from turning.
%%%%% outside of Savannah %%%%%
Clementine sat on a log and examined empty shotgun shells. She was all alone, a feeling that she would never forget.
In the distance she saw two figures on a nearby hill.
She had made her way over to them and it was Christa and Omid.
%%%%% 18 months before present %%%%%
Clementine had been travelling with Omid and a very pregnant Christa and arrived at a pit stop.
They were discussing names for the baby, Omid suggested Omid Jr. or Christa if it was a girl, while Christa joked about his lack of originality.
Christa and Omid went into the bathrooms to wash up while Clem went into her own and washed her hands with her water bottle.
She dropped the bottle and went to retrieve it in one of the stalls.
Suddenly a woman entered the bathroom and looked through Clem's bag.
She grabbed Clem's gun and continued searching through the bag.
Clem was standing on a toilet seat and it moved, creating a noise that gave her away.
She was interrogated by the woman to try and get more supplies, the woman then tried to take Clem's hat.
Omid had walked into the room and noticed the two, he attempted to get close to the bandit and disarm her.
Unfortunately the door slammed shut and the woman shot on reflex, he was hit in the chest and collapsed to the floor, limp and lifeless.
The woman showed instant regret over what she did as she stood back in shock.
Christa ran in to see what happened, when she saw Omid dead she immediately felt saddened.
She looked at the woman who killed Omid with hatred.
"I didn't mean to, I didn't mean to" she pleaded.
Christa just looked at Omid and back to the woman.
"I didn't mean…" she started before being shot in the stomach by Christa's rifle.
Christa then fell down in tears as she cradled Omid's head in her arms.
"...Oh God... Omid… Omid can you hear me? ...Omid!" She sobbed at her boyfriend's death.
She stared at the gun used to kill Omid. She then stared at Clementine, knowing it was her gun that killed him.
They soon buried Omid and continued on their way trying to survive.
%%%%% hours before present %%%%%
Clementine stared at the fire place that had a weasel cooking over it, the flames were low and it was not cooking.
Christa was sitting next to her on the log, no longer pregnant. She had become very cynical after Omid's death.
Clementine sighed, "Christa talk to me" she pleaded.
The older woman just stared blankly at the fire, and then let out a deep breath.
She got up to tend the fire, "this'll never work" she said with annoyance.
"Look at this… it's pathetic… the woods to wet to burn…there's more smoke than flame… at this rate we'll be eating this for breakfast" she continued to list off the problems.
"What else can we do?" Clem asked.
"Find something that can burn, I don't know" she suggested, "It won't be easy in the dark and in the rain" she added.
"You should be doing this not me… tending a fire so you can cook and keep warm, it's something you should be able to do clementine, otherwise…" she told her and shook her head at the thought of what would happen to Clem.
She continued poking at the fire, trying to keep it burning.
"We need to find a group of people we can trust, we've been on our own for too long" clementine broke the silence.
"Trust… you think you can trust someone out here, not now, not anymore" Christa said cynically.
Clem shivered from the cold, "I'm freezing" she complained.
"You think this is bad, wait until we get up to wellington, then talk to me about cold" Christa began.
"IF we make it, we still have a couple of hard months ahead of us" she informed clementine.
"This rain will turn to sleet, then ice, then snow. It won't be easy" she admitted.
"Is it safe there?" Clem asked.
"Safer than here because of the cold, or so they say, we just need to keep moving north" Christa answered.
They just sat in silence for a few seconds.
"I miss Lee" Clementine said sadly.
"I'm sure you do" Christa said in an understanding tone.
She sighed as she got up, "I'm going to go look for more wood, you just keep the fire lit" she informed her.
Clem opened her backpack to look for her lighter.
She first pulled out a torn photo of lee, she sighed as she remembered her mentor.
She then pulled out an old drawing of Kenny and his family in crayon. She glanced at it and put it away.
She found her lighter and it was dull grey with a pink butterfly on it.
She closed her backpack and sat by the fire, she light it with a piece of paper she found.
It kept going but the flames were low, she picked up a log of wood and put it in the fire.
The flames were higher and it started to cook the weasel.
"Bitch are you fucking kidding me!" Clem heard a man yell.
She got up and investigated, she walked as a bird flew by which startled her.
She kept walking as she overheard bits of a conversation.
"You're obviously with someone, where's your crew?" a man asked.
"Don't fucking lie to us!" another voice said angrily.
She saw Christa being interrogated by three men.
"Where is the rest of your group?" one of them pushed her.
"I-I'm on my own" Christa replied nervously.
"Bullshit!" a black hair man said.
"She's lying" a brunette with a beard accused.
"Cut the shit lady" an African American man in a hoodie asked her, he was holding a pistol to her head.
"I-it's just me" Christa answered.
Clementine picked up a rock and pegged it at the brunette.
"Christa run!" she said
Clem ran off and heard someone being thrown to the ground.
She heard screaming and a gunshot, but she kept running.
She hid behind a tree as the brunette followed her, "get back here fucker" he cursed.
She ran through the woods avoiding obstacles and walkers along the way.
The man caught up and killed a walker as Clem stabbed him in the shoulder with a branch.
"Are you fucking kidding me!" he yelled in pain and annoyance.
She made it to a rocky shore near a river before being grabbed by the man.
"Leave me alone!" she yelled.
"Stop fucking running!" he said to her as he struggled to hold her.
She bit his thumb as hard as she could, "ah fuck!" he yelled.
She attempted to hide in a log but was pulled out by him.
He grabbed her hands as she struggled against him. A walker drew close as she threw him into it as he struggled but did not get bit.
It grabbed him but she got grabbed by a walker through a tree, she ripped its arm off from the struggle.
Said walker also jumped on the man and devoured him, she ran towards the river before she tripped and backed up.
She threw a rock at a walker before she fell in, struggling to stay afloat, she floated down stream.
%%%%% present %%%%%
It was how she ended up here, alone.
She decided to continue on her way, she was not going to let being alone stopped her from surviving.
She was going to find Christa and make her way to wellington.
