AN: warning this is a very long chapter because I was on a 5 hour car ride last night.
The sound of screams filled my ears as Carol and I continued to run down the scream filled halls to the emergency exit.
I hate to leave the people like this bit Dawn said she wasn't going to let Carol and I go until I got my memories back so we put our plan into action.
On the 3rd floor of the building there was someone who had died Carol and I said we would handle it, when we got into the room we unhooked the person from the wires and waited for him to follow when he was reanimated.
"Just keep running, Clementine" Carol yelled from where she was a few feet ahead of me as we neared the emergency exit.
She opened the window and urged me out. After I was fully out Carol joined me and we quickly made our way down the stairs then the ladder that we had to go down on the second floor; which was hard for me to keep a grip on because of the cast on my right hand.
Once my feet hit the cement ground Carol and I were in a full on sprint making our way to the forest and to a 'very safe' place as Carol put it.
Once we were away from the so called 'hospital' Carol a I went to a few stores looking for weapons behind counter and left over food that wasn't taken.
Carol found a shotgun in a jewelry store and I found a hand gun with a silencer in a gas station along with some energy bars and 3 bottles of water. 'How lucky could I get!' I thought.
Once we had some weapons and food we made our way out of the city. Just a little ways out we found a black mustang with a red strip that went down the middle. I smiled at how good it looked and it was in fair condition. It had some dust on it but not much.
"Owner must of recently died" Carol said getting onto her knees and sticking her head under the steering wheel.
"Yep" I said popping the 'p' while I took the silenced hand hand gun I had out. While Carol was trying to get the car started I stood watch and saw a light brown rabbit hop across the road.
Quickly I lifted my gun and steadied it the best I could although it shaky due to me not being left handed, but after a few seconds I was able to steady it enough to where I was able to hit its head. I slowly pulled the trigger hoping it wouldn't move, and to my luck I hit it right on the head.
I smiled and Carol jumped out of the car bumping her head on the steering wheel in the process. "Why'd you shoot?!" She asked panicking slightly.
"Oh, Just dinner!" I said running over to the dead rabbit. I picked up by the ears and examined my kill. I smiled at how big it looked.
I brought it back over to Carol just as she started up the car. I smiled and ran to the the passenger side and hoped in. I showed Carol the rabbit an she got a ear to ear grin when she saw how big it was.
After Carol examined it too I turned around and put it in the back seat where a found carrier of some sort, so I grabbed it, laid it on my lap and opened it to see a almost full collection of knives. "What do yo-" Carol stopped talking and looked at the knives I just found.
"Geez this person was just stacked with weapons" Carol said reaching for a small one and examining it while driving. I smirked think of something funny. "Carol, LOOK OUT!" I yelled bracing myself for something.
Carol looked up panicked and slammed on the breaks making us swerve around on the road slightly. I laughed at the face she gave me when she found out it was nothing.
After a long 6 hour drive we finally stopped for the night, Carol was cooking the rabbit while I looked at the weapons this person had.
The person had a high powered rifle, riot gear, hand guns, shot guns, and ammo. I smile when I found a gun holster that would fit my gun and suppresser, and a knife holster. I was about to put my gun and a knife that would fit the holster when I heard a gun click.
"Drop you weapons" the person said in a dangerous tone but I could hear it in his voice that he was smirking.
I dropped my gun and knife in the trunk of the car as I felt his arm wrap around my chest keeping my arms down while we slowly walked to where Carol was being held in place by two men.
Both men had knives in their hands except for one, who had a knife and gun. The gun was pointed to Carols head; both men smirked when they looked at me.
"You gonna watch everything that happens to your friend here" the guy holding you said as one of the two men pined Carol to the ground. "Leave her alone" you said through clenched teeth. "Or what little girl" on of the men said smirking as he watched Carol struggle to get free.
I started to struggle I the guys grip. "Stop movin' kid or I'll shot ya" the guy holding you said me said. "Fuck off" I said as I swung my head back hitting him in the face making him shot but miss my head by only centimetres.
While I shook my head trying to get the loud ringing noise to stop the guy picked me up holding my arms down once again but this time I was facing him.
"What'cha gonna do now?" He said smirking. 'Fuck it' I thought as I bit down on his neck taking out a big chunk of skin.
He dropped me and I quickly spit out the gross peace of skin and blood that was in my mouth out and grabbed the gun from him quickly and shot guy on Carol while he was staring at me in disbelief at what I just did.
I quickly got a knife off of the guy I just bit part of his neck out of and slowly walked towards the the last guy. I could hear him begging for me to spear him but I didn't listen I had one thing on my mind, and one thing only.
"I'm not losing anyone close to me ever again." I mumbled to myself as I stabbed him in the abdomen twice before I slit the guys throat; after he dropped his knife. I turned around after a second of standing there trying to process what I just did.
I looked over at Carol who looked... scared… of me. I dropped the knife I had in my hand and looked at my hands which had blood on them.
'What have I become?' I thought to myself as I slowly made my way to the front of the car and sat on the ground between the headlights and curled into a small ball; a few tears falling.
*the next day*
The next day Carol barely talked to me. I didn't want to talk about what I did last night. Sure I did it to save Carol, but that's just not right.
For the rest of the car ride we stayed silent and I thought about why I still knew that there was a apocalypse happening and that I called the 'infected' or ' dead' walkers but why only that.
Sure I remember my parents, Lee, and all the people up to Christa and Omid, but I wanted to know more. How did Carol know me? How much does she know about me? Questions like these ran through my head till we came up to a prison.
"Like it?" Carol asked speaking for the first time in hours. I nodded and looked forward to see a woman with shoulder length brown hair opening the gate so we could go in.
Once we were inside the prison gates Carol turned the car off and got out. I stayed in the car while Carol went to go talk to the girl what opened the gate for us.
I could hear their conversation a little "you found her?!" "Part of her" "what do you mean 'part of her'?" "She lost her memories. Could you go tell the rest of the group?, but make sure you tell them to not to mention anything from her past, she has to figure it out herself. Make sure you tell Carl, ok?" I heard Carol say. I was startled when the door on my side opened. "Clementine?!" A guy with a crossbow said.
I pulled my gun out quickly and aimed at his head; he looked surprised, either from the blood around my mouth or the gun that was suddenly pointed to his head.
"Put you weapon down" I said. He put his hands up slowly putting his crossbow down and said "I know your mad at me about-" before he could say anything else Carol came over and pulled him away.I slowly put my gun away after the guy walked away.
I got out of the car and picked up the crossbow. I smiled at how light it felt. While I was examining the guys crossbow I heard the sound of rocks moving behind me.
Quickly turning around I pointed the crossbow at a boy who had a huge grin on his face, but once the crossbow was pointed at him he frowned and quickly put his hands up. Looking at the boy I saw that he had fairly long hair and blue eyes, he was fairly tall and was wearing a sheriffs hat; He looked scared, and confused. "Don't move" I said sternly.
We were probably standing there for a minute of two before Carol and the guy that owned the crossbow came back. As soon as Carol saw me she came running over.
"What are you doing?!" She whisper yelled to me while she striped me of my weapons. "Hey! Why are you taking all my weapons?!" I yelled to Carol.
"Because" was all she said before she threw my knife and silenced hand gun in the trunk, and gave the crossbow back to the guy. The guy was looking at me strangely. "What?" I asked slightly annoyed.
"Why's there blood around you mouth?" The guy asked. "Ummm- Carol you wanna take this?" I said looking over to her. "She bit a guys neck out" Carol said quickly.
I looked at the crossbow guy and the kid with the sheriffs hat; to see that they both had looks of utter shock. "She what!?" They both said at the same time.
