Short chapter, but I wanted to get an update out.

Thanks to gaara king of the sand for the help!

Enjoy.

Clementine took a moment to process everything that had just happened. She had somehow managed to freeze time. How was it even possible? And how could she unfreeze it.

Her heart was going a mile a minute, as her mind raced with endless thoughts. It took a couple seconds for her to realize they were seconds away from crashing. She needed to get Jane and AJ out of the truck.

The girl quickly threw the door open and hopped out the vehicle. She ignored the pain from her healing wound as she rushed to the passenger's door and yanked it open. She managed to pry little AJ out of Jane's arms without a problem.

The child backed away from the vehicle looking for a safe spot to put the infant while she helped Jane. She walked a couple feet away from the truck and placed AJ down. She removed her own coat and wrapped the baby in it along with his blanket, hoping it would keep him warm. "I'll be right back, buddy."

With that, she rushed back to the vehicle. With some struggle she managed to pull Jane from the truck and began dragging the woman over to where AJ laid.

She winced as she continued to drag Jane to the best of her ability, all while her gunshot wound gave warning throbs. She did her best to ignore the pain, though it seemed to worse with every step.

She could feel tremors shuddering through her little body as she pushed herself, but it didn't stop her. She paused for a few seconds, bring a hand to her throbbing shoulder and to no surprise she felt blood ooze between her fingers.

Dropping her hand, she resumed dragging Jane to safety.

Halfway there, Clementine felt Jane shift in her grip.

The child didn't even have the chance to realize that time had unfroze before she heard the loud crash of the truck slamming into the tree.

AJ started wailing and Jane let out a series of swears.

Clementine could feel her head pounding from all the noise. She was glad to have gotten them out of the vehicle in time. They would have surely died if she hadn't, but she felt disorient and the noise wasn't helping.

She hadn't even realized Jane had risen to her feet and was talking to her, until the woman had a hold on her hand and was pulling her away from the truck. "Come on! It might explode!"

"Explode?" Clementine repeated, looking to the truck. Her heart skipped a beat as she noticed smoke coming from the truck engine.

"Come on!"

Clementine stumbled slightly, tripping over her own feet. Jane's grip on her was the only thing keeping her from falling.

"AJ. We… have to get AJ." Clementine stammered.

"We are…" Jane was worried by the child's slurred speech, as she tugged her toward the direction AJ's cries were coming from. She knew all the noise would draw walkers.

Jane released her grip on Clementine and rushed forward to pick up the crying baby before looking over to Clementine again, "Let's…" Jane trailed off as she noticed the little girl gripping her head.

The child stumbled slightly before her knees buckled. Her vision blurred as her head pounded.

"Clem-"

Without a word the girl fell, hitting the cold ground. She lay motionless in the cold snow.

Jane immediately found herself assuming the worse as she called to the child with no response. Walker were getting closer, drawn by the noise. Jane was face was faced with a dilemma, help the girl who may have been dead… or leave her…

Clementine couldn't bring herself to say a word. She couldn't move as she heard the walkers or speak. She could only lay still as her little body slowly faded from consciousness.

The child shot up with a start. The child let out a gasp and looked around the room.

Diana who was sitting nearby looked to her daughter as the child's eyes fluttered open. "Clem! Oh, thank God!"

"M-Mommy?" Clementine muttered.

"How are you feeling, baby?" Diana asked.

The girl didn't answer as she looked around the room. Suddenly her eyes widened. "AJ! I got help AJ!"

"Clem, baby, calm down. Take a deep breath." Diana said.

"I can't calm down! Jane tried to kill us!" Clementine told her mother.

Diana furrowed her brows. "Jane?"

"She… She wants to kill us!" Clementine stammered. She checked her shoulder for a wound, which she recalled had started bleed.

"You reopened your wound…" Diana sighed. "Lay down, so I can treat it."

"N-No! Clementine panicked. "I don't want to lay down…I can't sleep anymore."

"Clem, listen… Look at mommy, you just had a bad dream. You're safe now."

"Nowhere is safe, mommy…" Clementine muttered.

Diana frowned at that. "You're safe here. Mommy won't let anyone hurt you."

Clementine looked away, not saying a word.

"Let… Let me get the first aid kit." Diana stood from her chair.

Clementine's eyes grew full of fear. "N-No! Don't go, mommy!"

"I have to get some bandages." Diana said.

"Pl-Please don't leave me." Clementine whimpered.

Diana felt her heart clench. She would have to calm her daughter down before she did anything else. She pulled the girl into a hug, feeling the child tense for a moment. "Shh… Mommy's here… It's okay, it was just a bad dream." Diana said, hugging the child.

Clementine shook her head. "I… It was not a dream, mommy…"

Diana continued to comfort her child who was shaken up. "Calm down, baby. Just calm down… Tell mommy what happened."

Clementine paused for a moment, feeling tears in her eyes. She didn't know how to explain what was happening, she was confused. She felt like she was bouncing back and forth between two worlds and she had no idea what was real anymore. The thought terrified the young girl.

"Talk to me, Clem. Everything's going to be okay, I promise…"

"I don't know what's happening…" Clementine whimpered.

Diana could feel the girl shaking in her embrace. "Clem…"

"I'm scared…" Clementine choked out, breaking in sobs. Diana held her closer, rocking her to sooth the girl. "I'm really scared."
