Run! that was my only thought. 'They'll kill me if they catch me' I thought.

My feet hit the ground on the forest that surrounded the prison I was supposedly at before I was rescued by Dawns crew. 'Maybe I should if stayed' I thought while my feet hit the ground faster.

When I reached a road it was about midnight and the stars twinkled in the dark navi blue sky while a gentle breeze blew.

I slowed to a walk and thought 'my name is Clementine, my parents are dead, any friends I made along the was are dead, Lees dead. Everyone I knew was dead. Was I even at the prison before? Were they telling the truth or not?'

I was lost I my thoughts while I wandered back towards the city where I believed I belonged. So lost I didn't relies the lights that were a head if me till they were only a few feet away. "Clementine!" A booming voice echoed through out the whole road.

'Its Dawn!' I thought snapping my head from my fixed stare on the ground.

*Carls POV*

'She bit someone's neck off to save Carol that all I really knew' thought sitting in the passenger seat of a car my dad was driving.

We were looking for Clementine Daryl was on his motorcycle, Carol was in the vehicle that her and Clem used to get to the prison with Sasha and Tyrese, and my dad and I were in one car.

Clem bolted after Carol told us why she had blood around her mouth. She didn't even give it a second thought, she just jumped over the gate that kept the walkers out and ran.

I hope we find her soon. I looked to the side mirror and saw that Maggie and Glenn were in a car too.

*Clem POV*

The car ride was slow. So slow that I thought we were barely moving. Dawn said that I really messed up and hit me. Now I have another cut that had to be stitched.

'Why is it that I'm always kidnaped?' I thought while I moped the floor of the hospital.

*The next day*

I was in my old room getting ready for something. Dawn only said to pack my things. Looking around the room one last time I remembered the pair of scissors under my mattress. Quickly making my way out of the room I slipped the scissors into the cast on my wrist.

I'm worried because she was fighting with one of the other officers. I ended up pushing him down the elevator shaft. I still feel bad about it he was going a little crazy, then again who hasn't?

I was walking down the halls of the hospital towards the area Dawn wanted me to meet.

As I made the last turn and walked down the hall that Dawn said to meet her I notice that Carol, and Noah were with the group that I was with only yesterday. Rick was probably the only one I knew.

'Why would they be here? Were they really a makeshift family to me?' I thought while I walked towards Dawn.

The group had office Shepherd and office Licari they were talking about some kind of trade; me for both of theirs.

When I was switched with the two offices the group was about to walk out when Dawns voice echoed throughout the empty halls "glad we could work things out" she plainly said with a almost unnoticeable smile. Rick turned his upper body slightly and replied "ya"

"Now I just need Noah, and then you can leave" Dawn said stoping the whole group from continuing. "That wasn't part of the deal" Rick quickly jumped to Noah's defence walking toward Dawn again. "Noah's my ward, Clementine took his place and now I'm losing her, I need him back." Dawn quickly said after Rick finished his sentence.

One of her officer tried to help us keep Noah but Dawn quick shut that person up. "My officers up their lives on the line to find him. One of them died." "He ain't stayin'" the guy with the crossbows gruff voice said quickly.

"He's one of mine, you have no claim on him" Dawn quickly said snapping her head in the direction of the crossbow guy. "The boy wants to go home so you don't have a claim on him" Rick said defending Noah once again.

"Well then we don't have a deal" "the deal is done" Rick said raising his voice. "I-it's okay" Noah said trying to prevent violence. "No, no" Rick said putting his hand up to keep Noah from going any further.

Rick turned to Noah "I gotta do it" Noah said looking Rick straight into his eyes while removing a hand gun that he had under his sweater and handing it to him. "It's not okay" I said stepping closer, watching the whole scene unfold. "It's settled" Dawn said like nothing happened.

Noah started to limp towards Dawns group "wait!" My voice sounded through the halls as I ran towards Noah. Once I was in front of him I hugged him tightly. "It is ok" Noah said his voice a few notches above a whisper. "I knew you'd be back" Dawn said looking towards Noah.

Slowly letting go of Noah I stepped in front of Dawn "I get it now" I said looking her right in the eye.

*Ricks POV*

I watched as Clementine talked to Dawn. She reached for something in her right arm and next thing I knew there were scissors in the officers left shoulder and a gun shot went off, Clementines body went limp and the only thing keeping her body from hitting the floor was the offices.

Everyone behind me gasp and next thing I knew Daryl had his gun out and was aiming for the offices head. "I-I didn't do it" she quickly said a look of shock on her face to before another gun shot went of the she fell to the ground dead.

*no POV*

With that second gun shot everyone had their guns pointed at each other. "Hold you fire!" Officer Shepherd yelled over the guns being clicked. "It's over! ... It was just about her!" Shepherd yelled with her arms spread out in a protective manner. "Stand down!" Her voice demanded.

The first to lower their weapons were the hospital officer and the second was ricks group, Daryl was the last to lower his gun when Carol when to comfort him into lowering it. Daryl's face showed something that he rarely showed. He was scared. His breathing was quickening, and his lower lip was trembling slightly.

Daryl looked down to Clementines limp body where blood was slowly poring out from the newly made bullet wound.

All of ricks group looked on with fear and shock written all over their faces as the looked on at the little girls body. "You can stay" "Were surviving here, it better then out there" two of the hospital officers said trying to convince ricks group to stay.

"No" Rick said his voice cracking slightly before he continued "I'm taking anyone back there that wants to leave" Rick paused again "if you want to leave why do you step forward right now" he finished before looking down at Clementines body once more, no one moved after he said that only Noah.

Daryl slowly stepped forward towards the little girl that he grew to like. They shared a lot in common. He promised her that once they got back to the prison he would teach her how to use his bow. She was just to young to die, especially the way she did.

Bending down Daryl gently picked up the girl who fought so hard in this world. The group slowly made their way out side where they were greeted by Maggie, Glenn, and Carl.

The last to walk out were Noah and Daryl, Daryl was holding the limp body of Clementine.

Once Maggie, Glenn, and Carl saw who Daryl was holding they broke down.
