An: Hello everyone. Its nice to see that many of you are enjoying the story. I also want to say that I can update daily however its spring break and I plan to enjoy it. So don't worry about me not updating. I will at the very least once a week. If I take longer it might be because of school because graduation it's just around the corner for me. I also need help deciding on how Sandra looks I know she has brown hair and a fair skin tone but I need help with the facial features. I will use the best one I see in the reviews or in my PM.

-Review response-

Vinnie:I intend for Sandra to answer at least one more.

Guest:Thanks! glad you enjoyed.

Guest:Glad you enjoyed. At first I was going to kill Sandra off immediately but I've decided against it. It looks like it was a good idea because many of you want her to live too.

Egon Pax: I always thought that they would have been a good match. Lee was always able to calm her and they balanced out each other.

Donald Trump: Yes but this takes place after that event.

Guest: Hehe

Worker72: I am aware of that incident however that will happen later. I think you are right about Lilly and Larry.

SuspiciousTurtle: I do intend to shake thing up quite a bit.

thedarkpokemaster: You're right. The stranger won't even be in this story because Clementine won't update him on the group's whereabouts.

Omuyev: You're right.

shipxgm: Thank you, I hope you stick around

CRed1988: The chances are quite high.

-Line break-

Skrrrr! Crash!

"What the hell?" Sandra got up to investate the sound.

She looked out of the front window and saw that someone had crashed into a tree across the street. The car must have swerved awkwardly in a hasty attempt to stop and crashed into the tree sideways. The driver's window was shattered and the driver's head was slumped through it. Three guys were already out checking to see what happened.

"Someone call an amblance!" Said a guy who was closest to the car.

"I don't think he's breathing! We have to get him out of there!" The man walked up and tried to to pull open the door.

"The door is stuck!"

"Just yank him out of the window!"

They started pulling the driver out and when he was about half way, Sandra knew something was terribly wrong.

His abdominal region... there was so much blood.

Was he attacked by some kind of animal? That was very unlikely considering that the that car came from inside the city. Before she could dwell on those thoughts the driver's eyes shot open. Something wasn't right. His eyes were glazed over and was a milky white in color, like a blind man's eyes.

The next thing that happened shocked her. Without a warning the driver's hands shot out and grabbed the man's face. Then without a moment of hesitation, he opened his mouth and sunk his teeth into the man's wind pipe. Sandra put her hands over her mouth when she saw the driver rip it out with his teeth.

The man fell backwards on to the road, holding his hands on his throat which didn't do anything because blood spurted from the spaces in between his fingers.

"Jesus christ!" one of them said while backing up.

"John!" The other rushed to his friend and pulled him away from the fresh eating driver.

The driver now being halfway free, pulled himself out of the window and fell face first on to the road. That didn't faze him because he rose to his feet, barring his bloody teeth at the two.

"Stay back or I'll kick your ass you crazy motherfucker!" Said the one closest to the downed man known as John.

The agressor wasn't effected by the threat and stepped forward growling unintelligibly.

"Holy shit! Clem get me the phone, there is a killer outside!"

"Okay." Sandra heard Clementine run off to get it.

But Sandra did not once turn her head from the scene playing out infront of her.

John who had bled out ceased his movements and his body now laid still on the road.

By this time the brave one stepped forward punching the driver in the face with a heavy right hook. Sandra was sure if anyone else was in the drivers place they would be knocked flat on their ass.

However to the drivers credit, the only thing that the punch served to do was make his head recoil back and pause for a moment. He growled then stepped forward uneffected by the strike.

The brave guy responded with two more powerful blows, but both were as effective as the first one.

By this time John's body began to stir. Sandra heard him make a noise but she couldn't tell if it was a moan or a growl. Because of his injury all she heard was a nasty gurgle.

He rose up slowly much like the driver did and moved toward the person closest toto him which was they guy fighting the crazy driver.

Sandra heard a pitter patter from behind and she turned to see Clementine holding the homephone. Sandra took it and quickly dialed 911. She waited for a few moments before she was put on hold.

Then there was a cry outside. Sandra saw the named John taking a chunk of his friend.

"Arghh! Avery, get him off of me!"

Avery started shaking before he turned away.

"I'm-I'm so sorry!" He shook his head running off.

"Avery help-GRAHH!" The driver lunged at him knocking the three of them to the floor.

Sandra covered eyes and backed away from the window so she could avoid watching him die. But that didn't stop the chills from going up her spine when she heard him screaming.

"Oh God. Oh my God." Sandra said holding her chest with a paniced look on her face.

"Clem, we need to leave. Those crazy people might come us next!" She said grabbing Clementine's hand.

"We shouldn't go outside." Clementine pulled against her.

"What do you mean?"

"What if there are more monsters? I think we should check the local news."

Sandra began to collect her thoughts.

"You're right Clem...you're right." Her breathing began to slow and she thought rationally about the situation.

She started to walk back to the living room before Clementine said"Shouldn't we try to block the door, just in case they try to get in?"

"Yeah but what should we use?" Sandra looked around.

"I think we should use the table."

They walked over to it and stood on the same side of it before both started pushing it to the door. After that was finished she sat down on the couch and changed the channel back to the news and what she saw frightened her.

The president has already declared the country into a state of emergency and they were telling people to say indoors and away from people that are suspected to be infected.

This was happening everywhere?

Sandra's heart started beating rapidly.

'Is my family okay?' She would have to call to make sure.

If they weren't what could she do? It was too dangerous outside and if she brought Clementine she would be reasonsible for everything that happened to her. She couldn't leave Clementine on her own either.

She would have to sit tight until-

Bam

Sandra jumped at the sound and shifted her gaze to the door.

'Don't tell me...'

Bam

Her fears were confirmed she saw the door buckle to the sound.

"Leave us al-" Sandra couldn't finish her sentence because a small hand covered her mouth.

"Shhh" Clementine put a finger over her own lips.

"I don't think it knows we are here, so if we say quiet it might go away." Clementine whispered.

"Okay." Sandra whispered back.

For a few minutes Sandra and Clementine sat in complete silence until they heard agonized screams. Sandra could only guess what was happening to whoever that was.

Then the banging stopped suddenly. Sandra sigh in relief as she looked at Clementine.

"How did you know that would work?" Sandra asked the little girl.

"It was only logical." Clementine said simply.

Sandra looked into Clementine's eyes and didn't see the childlike innocence that they held once before.

"Were you always like this Clementine?"

The girl stared at her for a few seconds before she replied."What do you mean?"

"Have you always been this...mature?" she asked wearily.

"Yes."

"Why haven't you shown it before now?"

Clementine tilted her head.

"I'm only eight, why would I have to act like this all the time?"

Sandra shook her head. "Yeah, yeah...I guess you're right."

Sandra already knew that Clementine was smart for her age and that she was a fast learner. The little girl never had trouble with her work at school even if she hated homework. But her displaying this level of intelligence was not natural.

To know that the girl was only acting her age was honestly kind of scary.

"So are you some kind of genius?" Sandra question

"You could say that."

"Do your parents know?"

"No."

"Why didn't you tell them?"

Clementine looked down at her lap.

"Because I only wanted to be normal."

That wasn't entirely a lie. Ever since the walkers showed up she wished she could just go back to time were she wasn't always fighting for her life. To times that she wasn't worrying when she would find food for herself and for AJ. A life where she grew up like a normal kid.

Sandra stopped asking questions because it looked like she hit a sore spot. She leaned over to the little girl and pulled her into a soft embrace.

"Its okay to not be normal, that only means you are special and there is nothing wrong with that." She spoke in a comforting voice.

Clementine didn't say anything but she did return the hug which Sandra thought was a good thing.

Sandra released the hold and asked the girl."What should we do now."

"We should make sure this place secured."

Sandra nodded.

-Line break-

Several hours later night fall came. They had already made secured the house as much as they could. They covered locked all entries and put whatever they could infront of the doors to make sure nothing could get in. All of the windows were shut and the blinds were closed so nothing could see them inside. Clementine also made sure to tell Sandra to avoid turning on lights because the creatures could be attracted by them.

They were both awake because Sandra wasn't comfortable going to sleep in a situtation like this and because Clementine wanted to see if there was anything else she could do.

Clementine knew tomorrow her house would be ransacked by looters so she wanted to retrieve her gun just incase any of them still wanted to loot knowing that people were still inside. Clementine doubted it because it was early in the apocalypse and people weren't that desperate yet.

But it was better to be safe then sorry.
