DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THE WALKING DEAD

Clementine slowly opened her eyes and looked around, and saw that she was inside a tree house. "What happened? I remember I was at that rest stop in North Carolina with Kenny and Jane. But then.." she trailed off in her thinking. She gasped as it all came back to her, Jane losing A.J., the fight, and herself dying.

"I remember now!" She thought aloud. But when Clementine heard her own voice, she looked down, and saw that she was eight years old again. She then looked outside and saw that she was back at her family's house in Georgia, in the suburbs of Atlanta at the beginning of the apocalypse. And it was two days after her babysitter, Sandra, was bitten, and the day she met Lee.

She thought happily,"Wait! If this is that day... then this is a chance to start over! A chance to save everyone I lost over those two years!"

She needed a gun and haircut, so she climbed down the latter, and walked into the house. But not without her hammer to take care of Sandra undead form.

Clementine walked towards the staircase, and saw Sandra next to the staircase. Sandra started going for Clementine, but Clementine kicked her leg, and smashed the walker in the back of the head. "Thank you Jane." secretly thanking her friend for the trick.

Clementine proceeded to walk upstairs, and went to her parents, Ed and Diana's bedroom. She went into the closet, and found Ed's GLOCK 42 pistol with laser and silencer along with some ammo. She grabbed it all, and went to the bathroom.

"Now a haircut." she said in her mind. Clementine grabbed Diana's scissors, and cut her hair short.

After she cut her hair, she went outside, and climbed back up into the tree house.

"And now to wait for Lee." she chirped.

Lee at the moment was running up the hill from the walkers that were chasing him. He was with a cop riding out of Atlanta to a prison, for killing his now ex-wife, Jillian's lover, the Georgia State Senator. He then saw police cars and the S.W.A.D team racing into the city of Atlanta. They then saw a person (who was actually a walker) on the road which caused them to crash. He woke up two days later, only to find his wounded leg and the cop's corpse. He grabbed the keys, and unlocked his handcuffs. But then the undead cop attacked him, which made Lee shoot it with a shotgun.

All of that led to him now to climbing over the wall into someones backyard to avoid the walkers. The walkers then heard a noise and went towards the noise.

"Hey, anyone here?! I need help! I'm not bad. And I'm not one of THEM." he called out.

He went into a house and called out again "Hello?! Anyone home?! I need help!" He went inside and saw the overturned furniture and muttered, "I think these people need more help than I do." Lee walked into the kitchen and saw a pool of blood. "A pool of blood? I must have not ended well for that person."

He found a walkie talkie and decided that he should keep it.

Lee then found a voice message system and played it.

You have three new messages

The first message and he heard Diana's voice:

'Hi Sandra, this is Diana, I called to say that were stil in Savannah, because Ed got into a fight with some crazy guy near the hotel, so we had to get him back to the ER, he's not feeling well enough to drive back tonight, I just want to say thank you so much for taking care of Clementine, and we'll be back before your spring break."

The second message:

"Oh my God! Finally, were still stuck in Savannah, they're making us stay put, and they're not giving us any information about Atlanta! Please, please just call the police, get out of the city, and take Clementine with you back to Marietta. And I'll see you."

The third message with Diana who's now crying:

"Clementine... baby, if you're hearing this... call the police,... that's 9-1-1... we love you... we love you... we lo-"

Lee's face became one of pity. "Man.."

And unknown to him, Clementine heard every message loud and clear through her walkie talkie.

In the tree house, after Clementine heard every message, she cried. Yes, she knew her parents were dead, but was still saddened by it. She then wiped her face and looked up with strong will.

"No" she said in her mind. "There are others who have lives that depend on it, I need to be strong!"

She then said in her walkie talkie "Hello?"

Lee heard it and replied, "Hello? Who is this?"

"I just heard the messages through the walkie talkie, my name's Clementine."

"Hey Clementine, I'm Lee." He smiled.

"Where are you?"

"I'm in the tree house."

Lee walked outside, he looked in the tree's and saw Clementine.

She smiled and waved, and he smiled and waved back.

Clementine climbed down walked up to Lee, and sadly frowned about the messages.

Lee seemed to get what she was implying and said, "Hey don't worry, I can take care of you."

She smiled and said "Thank you." And they hugged.

"We should probably get out of here before it gets dark." Lee suggested.

"Good idea, I have my gun I found." she told him.

"Are you good with that thing?" he asked a little surprised.

"I'm good, I taught myself these past two days." she replied.

"Alright then." he said and they walked out into the street.
