"Why the hell would you do that!?" Carlos exclaimed as the vehicle swerved from left to right.
"What do you mean why!? That kid back there!?" Mike gestured with his head. "She's a complete psychopath! We gotta get the hell away from her man because sooner or later, she'll kill us!"
The whole car interior was filled with loud disruptions, the baby being the most annoying. Just a few moments ago, Mike got into the vehicle and left Clementine stranded in the middle of nowhere. After what she did to Buricko, he could no longer put up with the child's psychotic attitude no longer. When she first killed Carver, he agreed with the kill but with the way she went about it was wrong. That was the moment he begin to grew wary of the child and when she killed Arvo; that wariness turned into fear.
"Well, she's definitely going to! After what you just did!" Carlos may not have wanted Clementine near his daughter but he disagreed with Mike's decision in leaving her behind. That was certain death. Walkers everywhere, stranded in the middle of nowhere with a blizzard. He would've liked some time alone with the child. Maybe discuss her morale, what she valued and besides she was still a child. The thought of having to leave her daughter out in the middle of nowhere makes him emotional.
"She's gonna die out there anyway! We'll be fine!"
"Oh, you son of a bitch." He muttered. "And what about Kenny and Sarita!? You just left them behind!" Carlos tilted his head, taking a look behind the truck.
"Kenny wouldn't have left her out there!"
"So the best thing to do was leave them behind!? To their deaths!? What the hell is the matter with-" The doctor replied, his voice raising.
"Would you be quiet!" Mike snapped. "We're leaving now! It's too late!"
Carlos paused. He glanced at his daughter, who was visibly shaken up. He placed a gentle hand on her shoulder before he unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over to the front. "Stop the car." He sternly said.
"No. I ain't doing that." Mike replied, keeping his eyes locked onto the road and avoiding walkers.
"I said stop the car now!" Carlos repeated, his voice raising.
"Whatareyougonnado? Huh? Stop me?"
The doctor went back to his daughter and looked at her with reassuring eyes. "Hang on tight, sweetie okay?" He whispered before he turned back around. He reached over, yanking the wheel from Mike's hands and sending the vehicle out of control.
The car viciously swerved circles, ramming over multiple walkers before ultimately giving over. It slammed onto it's side over a few feet and it stopped. The last Carlos saw before everything went black was Sarah exiting the car with the baby.
It felt like walking in circles. She didn't know how long she had been travelling for. Clementine had stopped running from exhaustion. She couldn't see anything in this blizzard, only faint figures she would spot that would always turn out to be walkers. That was the only thing that was keeping her company.
Kenny and Sarita were still gone. Somewhere, missing in this snowhell Probably dead. She didn't know. Mike and Carlos left her behind. Those sly snakes. It was amazing, how quick they turned on her. Do all their work and the last minute... gone and leaving her for dead.
How didn't she saw that coming? How? It was so obvious, Mike getting her to 'wait' in the snow. Actually, no... wait. She didn't!
She was startled by the gunshots! If she hadn't of gotten out of her seat, she would still be there! She should've just killed them along with Buricko. They wanted to be friends so badly, they wanted to be friends with the enemy? Fine, they can join him in death.
The child continued in futile. It felt like a desert. Nothing...
...in every direction. She didn't know how long she could keep this up, hopefully she'll find shelter soon and she rest there.
The man woke up with a startle. His back ached to his spine. When the truck crashed, it had bared the brunt of the door behind him.
The growl of a walker snapped him out of his thoughts. A walker's head had appeared outside the car door window above him. He pulled out his pistol and fired a shot it. Killing it and he pulled himself up toward the door. He pulled the latch and struggled to push it open.
The car had been tipped on it's side, making the door continuously fall. He pushed it open and launched himself out of it. The man jumped out of the car and made sure the coast was clear. There were walkers roaming around but fortunately they weren't to close.
He quickly scanned around, Sarah could be anywhere by now. Why would she leave the car without him!?
Carlos had no idea which direction was which. The blizzard was blocking him, everywhere he looked. He could go in one direction and Sarah would be going in the complete opposite. His heart was racing, trying to decide what to do.
In any other scenario, any choice was better than no choice but in this case that was the opposite.
He felt his anger flare up. Mike... . This was all because of Mike! He had singlehandedly gotten everyone separated from eachother. Now because of him, Carlos may never see his daughter again. Because of him, Clementine might be dead!
Goddammit!!! Carlos began running, he didn't know where. He picked a direction and he stuck to it.
Sarah kept the baby close to her chest, trying to shield it from the blistering cold. She hated to have to leave her father, she didn't want to! Truth be told but there were walkers approaching the vehicle and the baby was crying. She had a choice to make, get trapped in the car surrounded by walkers or take her chances put there.
She couldn't think. From the argument between her dad and Mike. Leaving Clementine in the middle of nowhere? She was too stressed out to even think straight.
Sarah didn't want to leave her friend out here all alone, she didn't get a chance to decide before Mike hauled out of there. Even though she hadn't been acting like it for the past few days, Clementine was her friend. She didn't want to leave her out there. She pinkie promised too.
She was freezing in this weather. She had hoped she would've ran into somebody by now. Kenny, Sarita but everything she came across was walkers. The baby's crying wasn't helping either. He was attracting them all over the place.
The teen was tired but she was doing everything she could to keep herself alive. She had to keep the baby alive even if it meant sacrificing herself, she trembled at the thought.
Sarah was alone out there. She didn't even know how to protect herself and here she was doing everything she could to keep the baby alive. For Rebecca and Alvin, she had to.
After she continued for what felt like twenty minutes, she saw an approaching figure in the distance. Initially, she thought it was just another walker but it was moving too fast in order to be one. She stopped for a few moments, still clutching to the baby... maybe it was Kenny! Or even Sarita!
Hope bloomed in her chest as she began walking toward it but stopped when she noticed that the black silhouette was quite short... like a child's height. Her eyes widened as the silhouette revealed it to be Clementine walking in her direction.
Their eyes met and before Sarah could even register what was happening, she felt her abdomen burst into an onslaught of unbearable pain. She felt the small pieces of metal fly into her stomach as she fell onto her side, she managed to catch herself before she landed on the baby. The pain was too great for her to even scream, instead what came out were soft whimpers as she tried to breathe in the air around her.
It was hopeless, she couldn't breathe. No matter how much she wanted to. Her whole body was convulsing, as it tried preserve whatever life it had left. Tears fell from her eyes, saliva and blood leaked from her mouth onto the ground.
Paralyzed in agony and her life beginning to slipping away. Then a pair of shoes stepped in front of her, using whatever strength she had left tilted her head up.
The last thing she ever saw was her friend pointing a gun at her face. Memories of her first meeting the girl back at the cabin flashed through her mind... before she heard the gun fire.
