Outside of Savannah, a walker limps around lifelessly, looking for its prey to feast on and quench its hunger for flesh as well as its thirst for blood. It's milky white eyes stare with no emotion at its surroundings. An old, broken-down train and its tracks surround the lone walker, not catching its attention as it only cares for its next meal. It hears a rustle behind it, turning around with a growl just in time to see a machete cleave straight through its rotten, degraded neck severing it from its body as it slumps to the ground, never to rise again.

"We're clear y'all," Luke exclaims as he sheathes his weapon and kicks the walkers corpse away with disgust.

The cabin group emerged from the forest behind them with Clementine a little further back, reluctant to see the city where most of her worst memories had occurred. She immediately sees the train and is surprised that after all these years, it still remained. But as she thought about it, it started to make more sense. There probably weren't many people alive that operated or at least had basic knowledge on how to pilot one.

Luke, seeing Clementine at the back of the group, dropped back to her and draped an arm over her shoulder.

"Hey, you all right?" he asked her.

Clementine jumped slightly at the sudden physical contact, making Luke chuckle slightly and Clementine glare a bit.

"Yeah," she started, "just memories."

He followed her eyesight to see her looking at the train.

"That's how we got here." Clementine stated seeing Luke follow her vision.

Luke nods wordlessly, knowing that she will open up if she wants too. She already trusted the group with one of her past memories of her guardian Lee, which Luke felt pride for. If she wants to keep this to herself, she has all the right in the world to do so.

"We should try to scavenge what we can from this thing," he says inspecting the train, "can never be too sure I suppose."

Clementine nodded, "Yeah, I'll wait out here and keep an eye out for any walkers or...whatever decides to wander over."

Luke smiled at her confusing her.

"What?" she questioned him.

Luke shook his head, "Nothing, just still can't believe that you're probably smarter than half the people in this group if not the smartest."

Clementine glared, challenging him with an unamused eyebrow raised.

"And why is it so surprising." she asked.

Luke decided it was best not to answer that honestly, knowing she hated being called out on her age.

"Uhh...no reason Clem." he said while scratching the back of his neck nervously.

She grinned and nudged him playfully with her hip, surprisingly knocking him slightly off balance.

"That's what I thought." she exclaimed with a smirk.

Luke recovered and smirked back before rolling his eyes playfully and walking off to the train to scavenge with the others.

Clementine walked over to a nearby log and sat down where she had a perfect view of everything nearby. She spotted a few stray walkers waddling around aimlessly a good distance away.

That's when she spotted something.

She saw a figure in the distance sprinting with tremendous speed and ferocity. She was about to call out to the person, thinking they were scared and/or harmed. That's when the ominous figure turned to her. She saw the milky white eyes of a walker, but that wasn't all. Where the veins on a human were located, this walkers veins stood out with it's blood red color highlighting them with such emphasis, that they could be identified from at least half a mile away. It's teeth looked bared and as if they were stuck like that for quite some time. It's hands were clenching and unclenching as if it was trying to rip something open in its palm.

It looked straight at her and released a blood-curdling cry, that she could barely make out, that made Clementines blood run cold.

Then it charged.

She had never seen a walker, or ANYONE for that matter, run that fast before.

She started to panic as she reached into her back pocket and pulled out Lees pistol. She dropped the pistol in her panic but recovered just as the abomination was on her and delivered a shot to its head, silencing it before it could bite her. She backpedaled away from its lifeless body, breathing heavily as she rested her back against the base of a tree.

The cabin group rushed over to her when they heard the gunshot.

Luke was the first to see Clementines trembling form next to a odd-looking walker.

"CLEMENTINE!"

The rest of the group noticed her as soon as Luke shouted as they all rushed over to Clementine, except Carlos as he was eyeing the walker, to see if she was okay.

Alvin was the first to speak, "Clementine, what happened?"

Clementine was so shaken that she could hardly speak.

"Walker...running...so damn fast..." she managed to say through her heavy breathing, although it was hard to decipher, as Carlos approached the walker and started to examine it.

"Clem, just take a deep breath and calm down." Luke said although he was freaking out inside. He wondered why a lone walker had shaken her so much being as how she wasn't really that fearful when faced with walkers before.

"It...it's not..or was not..a normal walker...it ran at me, it must have been almost a quarter-mile away, it was so fast!" she managed.

Carlos came over with a distressed look when he finished examining the corpse, "There's no bite, no dehydration signs, no starvation signs or even a wound to indicate how he turned other than Clementines bullet."

Everyone just wore a confused expression

"What does that mean?" Nick asked.

Carlos sighed, "It means whatever this thing was, it wasn't turned like most people had been...whatever is causing this is something entirely new and, by what Clementine described, it makes lurkers VERY dangerous."

Luke sat beside Clementine and draped an arm carefully over her shoulders to comfort her as the cabin group exchanged nervous looks with one another with this news, "So...what should we do now?" Luke asked Carlos.

Carlos took a minute, "We get to shelter quickly and figure out a plan from there, this could be a coincidence and just a rare case but we shouldn't delay, we need to find a safe place first." he said as he helped Luke get Clementine on her feet while inspecting her for injuries.

"I'm okay, it just caught me by surprise, that's all." Clementine explained as she steadied herself.

The group gave her concerned and some reluctant looks before following Carlos down the hill toward Savannah. Clementine stayed with Luke near the front as she thought more about the abomination that attacked her. One thought was louder than the rest in her head though.

Could Lee be one of them?

AN: IM BACK! I think I have finally worked up a schedule on how I can update this story. I will try to on either the weekend (Saturday most likely) and/or Mondays or Tuesdays. That's where I'm trying to shoot for. Also, what do you think about the new walker called an "Abomination" as I planned to call it. I'm gonna leave the decision to you if I should make this a thing or make it a one time deal because I know some people don't like to stray from the series with another type of walker, neither do I so I didn't change them too much. There isn't going to be any "Tanks" or "Witch" like "Left 4 Dead" had, just this one, unless you don't want it. BE SURE TO LEAVE A REVIEW! YOUR REVIEWS AND SUPPORT ARE WHAT KEEPS THIS STORY GOING STRONG! Thanks for reading and I'll see you all in the future :)
