Hope you enjoy reading!


*2 years later*

Clementine, Duck, and Christa are somewhere in North Carolina. Sitting around a campfire in an attempt at cooking a weasel they caught and killed earlier on.

Like Clementine, Duck changed. Looking more mature, His hair a bit longer covered with his dad's old hat, Now wearing an orange Fleece jacket with a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, Camouflage pants and a pair of brown boots.

Clementine looks down then at Christa, They haven't spoke to each other for a while now. "Christa, Talk to us."

"Yeah, Are you mad at us or something?" Duck added. His voice still childish but a little deep. Puberty obviously.

Christa sighs and walks to the fire. "This'll never work." She tries to make the fire bigger. "Look at this, It's pathetic. The wood's too wet to burn..."

"It's okay...We can wait, Right Duck?" Clementine looks at Duck, He nodded.

"All we do is Wait. And for what...?" Christa sighs again. "You two should be doing this, Not me. Tending a fire so you can cook and stay warm. It's something you have to be able to do Clementine and Duck. Otherwise..."

"We can't build a fire at night, It attracts too much attention. It's too dangerous we're out here by ourselves." Clementine suggested.

Christa sighs yet again. "We need to eat, Don't we? We can't survive without food."

The young girl looks down. Shivering, She hugs herself. "I'm freezing."

"You can have my jacket if you'd want.." Duck said as he tries to unzip his jacket, But was stopped by Clementine.

"I-it's okay Duck."

"You think this is bad? Wait 'till we get up to Wellington. Then talk to me about cold. If we make it." Christa said.

"Is it safe there?" Duck asks.

"Safer than here because of the cold. Or so they say. We just need to keep moving north."

It was silent for a few seconds.

"I miss Lee..." Clementine mutters. "...I miss my parents..." Duck added.

"I'm sure you do." Soon Christa heads off to look for more firewood "I'm gonna go look for more wood, You just keep the fire lit."

Clementine's left to tend the fire. Since Duck isn't really good around fires. Searching through her backpack, she finds the other half of the Everett Family photo of Lee that he had torn off and looks upon it sadly, before eventually finding a lighter which she uses to tend to the fire.

The two were quiet for a while.

"Jesus! Are you fucking kidding me?!" A man's voice shouts. Which startled both Clementine and Duck.

Finding Christa being held at gunpoint by two bandits, Clem and Duck tried their best to be quiet. "Where's the rest of your group?!" One of the men said.

"I-I'm by myself.."

"Bullshit, She's lying."

"Cut the shit lady."

Without hesitation, Duck threw a rock at one of them. Which made one of the men chase after the two. "Clem! Duck! Run!" Christa shouted.

Winston (one of the men) chases after Clementine and attempts to restrain her, though she's able to break free by Duck pulling him into the reach of a nearby walker, which then grabs and eventually kills him while Clementine and Duck is approached by several other walkers which emerge from the woods. Backing away in fear, Clementine and Duck falls into a nearby river and is taken downstream by the current until They pass out.

The next day, Clementine wakes up on the banks of the river, "Christa? Duck? Anybody?" She calls out.

Suddenly hearing a cough, She walks to it and seeing Duck still unconscious. She's relieved but worried at the same time.

"D-Duck?" She kneels down and pokes Duck. He coughs and looks at Clementine. "Where are we?"

Clementine looks around and shrugs. "Dunno."

"let's just have a look around."

After a brief trek through the woods, They encounter a dog named Sam, alongside an abandoned campsite which presumably had once belonged to Sam's owners. After a brief search around the area, Sam begins to bark at a walker tied to a tree with a red pocket knife sticking out of its arm. After Clementine remembers some words Lee told her before his demise, she beats it with a large branch and retrieves the knife which is still sharp. There's also a trash can and, after searching it, Clementine finds a can of beans. After using the pocket knife to pry open the can, Sam begins to beg.

"I guess you're hungry too, huh." Clementine smiles and brings the food near Sam. The dog bites the can off Clementine's hand and starts eating.

"Hey you can't have it al-" Trying to get back the food, Clementine gets cut off by Duck. "Just let him eat it." He pulls her and tries to not be close enough to the eating dog.

"But it's OUR food Duck!" Clementine yells. It's probably the hunger talking.

Duck glares at Clementine. "First thing to know about dogs- Is that don't go anywhere near a dog when its eating. Don't take their food, Don't interrupt them, Don't go near them. They will attack you. What if he bit your arm off?"

Clementine looks down then looks at the dog. "But I'm so hungry..."

He pats Clem's back and sighs. "Let's just leave this dog and go elsewhere."

Walking around the woods, They begin to feel tired. They stop for a while and sat together on a rock. Duck can hear Clementine's stomach growl. Even he was hungry himself.

They both close their eyes for a moment. And opening it again only to realize that they've been surrounded by walkers. Attempting to flee, Clementine got almost overwhelmed by a walker. "Clem!" Duck shouted.

About to kill that walker, An arrow suddenly went through its head. Duck turns around to see their 'Savior' or... 'Saviors'

Their saviors were two men, One of them is in his early-mid 20's with brown hair and wielding a machete. And an older man probably in his mid 50's and using a crossbow.

After killing some walkers, The older man grabs Duck's wrist. "I'm out! Grab the girl and let's go!"

The other man helps Clementine up and carries her. "Come on kid, We gotta get." Then they start to run fast,

After running for a little while, They started to walk since they don't think walkers are still following them. Pete lets go of Duck's wrist.

"Well, Time to introduce ourselves. I'm Luke, And this here's Pete." Luke introduced himself.

"Hello there." Pete smiles at Clementine, Then at Duck.

"I-I'm Clementine."

"I'm Duck, Uh...Thanks for saving us out there" Duck scratches his head.

Pete chuckles. "That's one funny name Duck. No offence though"

"None taken, Everyone says that. Some even say it's stupid. But I'm used to it." Duck sighs. "It's not even my real name anyway."

They were silent for a while.

"Anyway...Where's your group? Kinda hard to think that y'all been out here on your own." Luke says.

Both Clementine and Duck only looked down. "We've been attacked and separated."

"Well, I'm sorry about that." Luke said. "Well, We're here."

Walking to a cabin, Duck sees a pregnant woman by the porch, She seems to be glaring at him.

"Who's she?" Duck tugs Pete's sleeve, Somewhat scared of this woman's deadly glare. She reminds him of Lilly somehow. But Lilly was nice to him, Just not to his dad and to strangers, Then it hit him. They're the strangers now.


Okay I think this is enough, I'm feeling drained already.

Anyway, Sorry if the characters are OOC. And sorry if you're disappointed.

Thanks for reading!
