The whole world around Clementine was black. All she could hear was the muffled voices of people talking.
"Would someone mind telling me what the fuck is going on?" she heard a woman say.
Clementine's vision slowly starting to shift back to normal. When she could finally see, she saw Omid and Pete to the left of her. They were talking to three figures to the right of them; a black, brown haired pregnant lady wearing a black long sleeve shirt and a white short sleeve over it, a black man with glasses wearing a yellow jacket and jeans, who Clementine assumed to be the other woman's husband, and a young man around Luke's age wearing a blue t-shirt with a white long sleeve underneath and camo pants, as well as a red baseball cap and carried a hunting rifle, his appearance kind of reminding her of a younger Kenny. She thought that he must have been the Nick that Luke and Pete were talking about earlier . All five of them were outside in front of the cabin.
"Now hold on Rebecca." Pete said to the pregnant woman.
"Yeah, we just need some help, that girl needs medical attention!" Omid added.
"Like hell she does! Pete did you even bother to ask where they're from? For all we know they could be working with Carver!" Rebecca told Pete.
"Hey listen lady, we're not working for anyone. the two of us were alone until Luke and Pete found us." Omid explained.
"He said him and the girl were attacked, then she was bit by a dog." Pete said to Rebecca.
"And what, you just believed them? You should put the girl out of her misery right there! Dog bite my ass…" she replied.
Clementine slowly regained her sense as she slowly began to lean up.
"I need a-"
Her sentence was cut short as Nick fired his gun right at Clementine, the bullet hitting the ground only a few inches away from her. She scurried back in panic from the sudden attack.
"Keep your finger off the trigger boy!" Pete said to him angrily as he grabbed the gun from his hands.
"You motherfucker!" Omid yelled at Nick as he tried to run towards him, but was held back by Pete.
Suddenly, Luke emerged from the cabin after the gunshot.
"Woah! What the fuck?!" He said as he ran over to the group.
"You idiot! Every lurker for five miles probably heard that!" Rebecca said to Nick.
"You're the one telling me to fucking shoot her!" he replied defensively.
"Everyone just calm down for a second." the black man said to Rebecca and Nick.
Luke then shoved past them to check on Clementine.
"Clementine are you alright?" he asked her.
"I said I need a doctor. My arm just needs to be taken care of then Omid and I will go." She told him and the rest of the group.
"Well we've got a doctor alright? He's gonna take a look at your arm." he reassured her.
He then turned to the rest of the group "Now what the hell is y'alls problem? Okay she's just scared!" He reprimanded them.
"We're all scared Luke, don't act we're the ones acting irrational!" Rebecca said to him in defense.
A man then walked out of the cabin to join the group. He was a Hispanic man with flowing black hair and wore a yellow and red plaid shirt with green pants. He was most likely the Carlos Pete had mentioned back in the forest. The man then approached Clementine, offering his hand out to her.
" Go ahead it's okay, he's a doctor." Luke said to her once again, who was slightly nervous.
Clementine then rolled up her sleeve to show to the doctor, the severity of the bite causing the black man behind him to grimace in disgust.
"Damn, that must've hurt" he said behind Carlos
.
"So? What's the deal Carlos?" Luke asked the doctor.
"Well whatever it was, it got her good." he replied to him.
"This isn't how we deal with things! When you get bit, you get put DOWN. End of story!" Nick said to Luke and Pete.
"Hey Nick, we're not just gonna go kill a little girl." Luke replied to him.
"We could take her arm off." Pete suggested to the group.
"What?! No fucking way!" Omid said to Pete.
"He's right, she's just a little girl; you'd just make her suffer more." Rebecca added.
"Besides, who would volunteer to do that?" Nick asked.
"I would, if it meant saving her life." Pete said to him.
Clementine then turned to Carlos, who was still examining her bite.
"I don't mean to bother anyone, You just need to fix my arm and we'll go; you'll never see us again." She told the doctor.
"Hmm….and where exactly would you two go?" he asked her.
"To find our friend Christa." She replied.
"Forget it. You won't get five feet." Nick warned her.
The cabin door behind them opened slightly. Emerging from the door was a young Hispanic girl about a couple years older than Clementine. She had flowing black hair like Carlos, and wore red glasses on her face with the lenses slightly cracked, as well as a blue jacket and jeans.
"Who's she?" The girl asked Carlos.
"Sarah, what did I say? Stay inside." he sternly told her.
Sarah then immediately closed the door and went back into the cabin. Shortly after, Carlos pulled Clementine's sleeve back over her bite and walked towards the rest of the group.
"So?" Luke asked him nervously
"Was it a lurker?" Nick added.
"A bite like that could be anything." Carlos told the rest of the group. "In the meantime, we can lock her in the shed."
"What about the other one?" Rebecca asked the doctor about Omid.
"We'll bring him in and tie him up, make sure he doesn't leave till the morning." he explained.
"No! You're not gonna hurt him!" Clementine said in defense.
"Hey, hey easy Clem, we're not gonna hurt him. We're just making sure he doesn't do anything irrational." Luke reassured her.
"Yeah, don't worry Clem, I'll be fine." Omid added.
"But what about my arm? It needs to get stitched, and bandaged, and cleaned!" Clementine pleaded with the group.
"Well we do have some medical supplies to spare, maybe we can just-"
"ALVIN. Please." Rebecca said, cutting him off.
"Oh, uh yeah, we can't do anything." he told Clementine nervously.
Luke then proceeded to lead Clementine to the shed. She took one quick glance behind to see Pete starting to bind Omid's wrists together and lead him into the cabin.
"She'll turn, you'll see. And when she does, I'm not gonna be the one to clean up the shed." Rebecca told the group, causing Clementine to give her a mean glare.
"Is there anyway you can help me? Maybe you can sneak out some things to me?" Clementine asked Luke as the two of them walked up towards the shed.
"I wish I could, but my hands are tied. Sorry." he responded.
When they arrived at the shed, Luke unlocked the wooden doors, ushering Clementine inside.
"Don't worry, it'll just be till morning." he reassured the eleven year-old as she closed the doors of the shed and locking them shut, leaving Clementine alone in the small confined prison.
