Upon returning to the drugstore, Lee made a beeline for Doug, the two of them quietly talking before going out the entrance, closing the door quietly behind them. Deciding that there must be a good reason for them going out there. Dallas looked around for Clementine, but was blind sighted when she found him first, wrapping her arms around him in a tight squeeze. He put his own arms around her, happy to have some sort of human contact.

"Are you okay?" she asked after she pulled away.

"I'm fine Clem, don't worry. How's everyone else doing?" he asked her, as they walked over to her assigned seating.

"They're fine as well. They were mostly worried that you guys might not come back. But you're here now, so it's all good again," Clementine replied, sitting down. Dallas was just about to continue a conversation with her, when he was tapped on the shoulder by Carley, who was gesturing for him to follow her. He followed her away from Clementine, over to the corner that Doug had previously occupied before he went outside with Lee.

"What's up?" Dallas asked, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"I need to know your thoughts on what you learnt about Lee before," she said, surprising Dallas.

"Why do you need to know that?" he questioned, pulling his hands out of his pockets and crossing them over his chest.

"I want to know what your intentions are. Are you going to use it against him? Are you going to try and avoid him? That sort of thing," she answered, crossing her own arms.

"If you're asking if I plan to be an asshole like Larry and blackmail Lee, I would never do that. He saved Clementine and I. He's been nothing but nice to everyone, and he's only angry when he is protecting others. I haven't got a reason to want to hurt him, so you don't have to worry about it," he told her, patting her on the shoulder.

"Okay, good. That's good. There was one last thing I wanted to ask," she said, just as the door opened. Lee and Doug stepped through, making their way over to the office door.

"And that is?" Lee and Doug began quietly talking to Lilly, who seemed to be quite relieved.

"How did you do it? How were you able to take the bullet, so to speak, when it came to relieving that woman's pain?" she asked him. Lee, Doug and Lilly walked into the office, leaving the door wide open as they went in.

"My girlfriend, Sandra, became one of those things. I had to kill her, bash her head in. I guess, by being able to help her, I made up for not being able to help Sandra. I think I was able to take away some of the blame," he answered, a single tear sliding down his face.

"I didn't know that-" Carley began to say, before time seemed to slow. The tear sliding down Dallas' cheek finally fell off of his face, dropping down to the ground in slow motion. As soon as the tear drop impacted with the ground, an alarm began blaring, and everything suddenly sped up again.

"What in the hell is going on?" Kenny exclaimed, moving towards the office. Lee, Lilly and Doug all raced out of the office, Lilly moving to her father to give him the meds they were searching for.

"When we opened the door, the alarm started going off. We need to get out of here, before those things try to get in," Lee announced. As if on cue, loud groaning could be heard outside, which was soon followed by harsh banging at the windows and door.

"Okay everyone, we need to get out of here fast. Kat, take Duck and get him outside. Carley, Glenn and Doug, all of you get over to that door; make sure none of those things get inside. Lee, you're with me. We're going to started escorting people out of here. Let's get moving people." After Kenny had given out his orders, everyone scrambled to follow them, moving off to different positions in the store. Glenn, Carley and Doug were already at the door, stopping those things from getting inside.

"What should I do?" Clementine asked Dallas, who was trying to figure what to do himself.

"Just stick close to me for now. When Kenny and Lee get back, you can go with them to get to safety," he told her, as screams could be heard out the back.

"Glenn, we need you," Dallas heard Katjaa call. In response, he ran over to the entrance, moving Glenn out of the way so that he could go and help Katjaa. Dallas put his back against the door, pushing as hard as he could against the things that were banging outside.

"Dallas, if we don't make it through this, I just want you to know, you and Lee, you're good guys," Doug said, just as the door was pushed open a crack. Dallas turned around and began shoving the door closed; making sure none of those things could get in. Once the door was closed again, Dallas turned to Doug, and exasperated look on his face.

"We're going to make it through this Doug, don't talk like that," Dallas told him, putting a little more force into his pushing.

"Doug, if we don't make it through this, you should know-" Carley began to say, before the things banging on the door pushed their way in again. Dallas and the others had a bit of a harder time pushing the door closed, but after half a minute, they managed to push it closed again.

"What were you saying?" Doug asked Carley, looking into her eyes.

"What?" Carley asked back, just as some of those things managed to bust through a window.

"Shit," Dallas exclaimed, feeling the pressure on the door get worse. Carley pulled out her gun and began firing at the things that had gotten into the store, moving away from the store. A nearby shelf was knocked not long after Carley walked away, allowing more of those things to get inside.

"I'll go try and block those things out," Doug told Dallas, moving away from the door, which opened up again, being shoved open with more force than ever.

"Can I help?" Clementine asked frantically.

"Find me something to block this door with, quickly," he told her, pushing as hard as he could against the door, while trying to avoid the gnawing teeth of the heads trying to get through the door. Clementine ran off to the office, looking like she might have an idea. After a lot of effort, the door was closed once more, just as Clementine ran back over to Dallas, holding the owner's cane in hand. Snatching it out of Clementine's hands, Dallas shoved it into the doors handles, finally being able to move away from the door to have a rest. He had barely caught his breath, before two there were to screams that filled the store in unison, coming from different directions. Looking to his left, he saw that Doug had been grabbed by a few of those things, slowly getting pulled towards the window that he was trying to protect. To his right, Carley had run out of ammo and was reaching for her handbag, while one of those things was attached to her leg. Time seemed to freeze, as Dallas looked between his two friends, not knowing where to look. He came to a decision and ran towards Carley's bag, pulling her ammo out and throwing it to her. She put it into her gun just in time, allowing her to shoot one of the things that were just about to reach her. Once she had shot the one that was attached to her leg, both her and Dallas heard Doug scream, and turned around to see him get dragged out of the window. A look of horror came to Carley's face, as she stepped backwards, shocked at what she had seen.

"Let's get out of here," Dallas shouted, grabbing Clementine by the hand and running towards the office, closely being followed by Carley, who was shooting at anything that followed them. They ran into the office out of the exit, to be greeted by Lee and Kenny, who were patiently waiting for them. Making sure that everyone was safe, they ran away together, the blaring of the alarm becoming duller as they moved further away.

...well that was thrilling...

Yes, I chose Carley, because she is awesome with her gun and stuff, and I always thought that she and Lee could end up together in the end. I would've save both, there was that possibility, but you all know he probably would've died later anyway, so there was no point in delaying the inevitable :P

In the next chapter, I tried to change the dialogue a little, so that you didn't feel like you were just reading about the game, with added dialogue.

Hopefully you enjoyed this chapter, and are ready for the final chapter of Episode One.

Which I will be posting very soon, so you guys don't have to wait :P

Be back soon fellow fanfickers :D
