AN: Hey guys, sorry for the wait. My phone bricked out and I unable write this for a while. The only reason I was able to compete this is because my brother let me use his phone.

-Review response-

Deathstorke74728: Here it is :).

Sherblock: I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately I can't do that because the app limits me to about 2500 words a chapter. I did this on a past story on Wattpad and I over did it. I described pretty everything and that made the story have to much filler. Although It was pretty good because I got 8k words a chapter.

NoGoingBack6795: Thanks for the compliments it encourages me to write even more.

Worker72: Unfortunately you might be disappointed this chapter. But it will for sure be in the next chater.

CRead1988: She did quite well.

-Line break-

After Clementine explained what she wanted to do, they had started to get ready. Clementine continued to get all of the canned goods out of the tree house so they could get it ready so if it came down to it, they leave with little difficulty. Sandra wanted to help Clementine get some if it out of tree house but Clementine refused.

It was strange to Sandra because Clementine was never really protective of it before. Clementine had even asked her to climb it with her. She of course never did because she thought she would look goofy trying to get into a kid's treehouse.

Sandra didn't think much of it because Clementine moved quickly and got the stuff out fast. Sandra put most of the food into her luggage. However they ran into a problem. The water that they had couldn't come with them. It wouldn't fit anywhere and if they did bring them it would only get in the way.

It was unfortunate but on the brightside, Clementine mentioned that they could avoid using the water faucets for now and use the water that was gathered instead. That didn't didn't mean that they didn't have any water to bring. Clementine had a pink water bottle that was made of hard plastic. Her mother had bought her it because she played soccer at school. She wanted to makes sure her daughter didn't get dehydrated. Sandra found a spare one that was similar to her's except that it white instead of pink.

By the time they were finished it was already late in the afternoon. The two found themselves standing infront of the gate that lead to the trail.

Suddenly Sandra was a lot less enthusiastic about going out there. It just dawned on her that the fence and the gate were the only thing between them and those freaks. And they were just walking from the only place that the knew was safe right now.

Sandra gripped the hammer that Clementine gave her tightly and tried to calm her nerves.

Clementine quickly picked up on it and said"Are you okay?"

"I'm-" she initially was going to say that she was fine but couldn't bring quite bring herself to do it.

"I'm worried." She said honestly.

"Clementine are you sure we need to do this?...I saw what those things do to people. If we get caught, they'll rip us apart." She said with a fearful look on her face.

"If we don't do this we'll die. We need a back up if the monsters come for the house."

"Okay." Sandra replied.

A few more seconds passed as Sandra regained a bit on her confidence.

Sandra crouched down to looked Clementine in her eyes.

"I'll go out there myself Clem, I don't think a kid should be out there. If the monsters get me then you would still have everything you need in house."

"I'm not a kid." Clementine retorted sharply without thinking.

Sandra despite the situation that they were in, found that quite humorous.

"Yes Clementine you're just a kid. Albeit a smart one." She said with a small laugh.

"I know that you don't like this Clementine but I don't know what I'd do if they got you."

"They won't get me. Just let me come with you." Clementine begged.

Sandra stayed silent for a moment before giving in.

"Fine but under one condition. If things get bad you get back to the house no matter what happens to me. Understand?"

Clementine nodded.

"Okay..." Sandra stood up and faced the wooden gate.

"Clementine stay behind me." She said while opening it.

She stood looking at the surrounding and saw exactly what Clementine told her. There were many trees and unkept bushes about, along with some large rocks. Most importantly there was the trail that Clementine was talking about, a bike trail to be more specific.

"It looks clear. Stay close to me." She spoke quietly.

"I will." Clementine said from behind.

They followed the trial silently and Sandra found it creepy that everything seemed kind of...normal. It was quiet and the wind blew a soft breeze that lightly tickled her skin. Without everything going on this would have been a comforting afternoon stroll.

They continued on for a bit before the reached a small hill. Clementine instantly knew where they were once the reached this point. This was the very first time she saw Lee. It was very brief but Clementine remembered.

'Lee must of not gotten out the car yet.' Clementine thought because she didn't hear shotgun go off yet. 'Or he's not here.' A voice said in the back of her mind.

The next few seconds went by painstakingly as the too went up the hill. Just as they reached the peak of it Clementine heard Sandra mutter"Oh my God." under her breath. Clementine who was closely behind Sandra stepped out from behind Sandra's form and saw a the crashed cop car from all those years ago.

Clementine let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding.

Sandra processed the scene infront of her. This was exactly what she was expecting to see out here. She looked up and saw where the car must came from which was the freeway above, curtsy of the broken guard rail. Looking to the left she saw a police officer laying face down on the dirt with a trail of blood behind him.

"Officer? Are you okay?" Sandra called out.

He didn't even twitch to the sound of her voice. He was most likely dead. A little ways from him there was his shotgun laying out in the open.

'Was he attacked by the monsters?' Sandra really didn't like the sound of that.

Sandra turned to look at Clementine.

"Clementine think we should get going, it's not safe here." She said.

"No, not yet. Look." Clementine said pointing at the officer's shotgun.

"Don't you think that would be useful?"

Sandra looked at it again.

"Yeah it could be..." She waited a few moments before saying.

"Okay Clementine. The monsters could be nearby so stay close." She said stepping slowly down the hill.

Sandra really didn't like this. While there was a lot of things they could hide behind and possibly cover there retreat, she realised that those could just as easily be blind spots for them. Once they were down the hill Sandra walked over to the gun. She picked in up and fumbled it around a bit. It was heavier than she thought it would be.

While Sandra was messing around with the Shotgun, Clementine walked over to the cop car and looked into the window. There she saw the face of her savior and protector, Lee Everett. A number of emotions swelled in her chest but the most prominent one was hope. But upon closer inspection Clementine noticed something was different. He looked really beat up. She knew that he got hurt but not up to this degree. His worst injury was his leg wound. Worried for his well being Clementine got Sandra's attention.

"Sandra come look someone's still in here."

Sandra stopped what she was doing and came over with the shotgun still in her hand.

"We need to get him out of there."

"Clementine there could be a good reason why he's in there"

Clementine shook her head.

"I know him. He was a substitute teacher at my school at my school for a few months before he left. Mr.Lee is good, there is no way he could do anything that bad." Clementine lied through her teeth.

"And if you leave him out here he'll die. The monsters will find him and he'll be killed trapped in this car. His blood will be on your hands." Clementine pressed on Sandra's moral persona.

Before she could say anything else Sandra responded.

"Okay, okay. No need to grill me on it, I was thinking about what's best for you."

"So how are we gonna get him out?" Sandra asked.

"Maybe the cop has the keys on him." Clementine suggested.

"Okay I'll be back." Sandra walked back to where the cop was. As she got in closer the the officer's body as strong pungent smell reached her nose. It smelled awfully like roadkill if not worst.

'His body must of started decomposing.'

Not wanting to get any closer to the body she tried to see if she could spot the key from where she was standing. Maybe she was lucky because his keys were poking out from his back pocket. She bent down and picked up before turn turning back to the car. But as soon as she did that something caught her leg and she fell on the ground. From her downed position she looked back and saw the officer holding on to her ankle with those same cloudy milk white eyes from before.

Thinking fast she kicked at the officer hitting him right in his jaw. The kick served its purpose and the officer relinquished its grasp on her. She used this time to flip around on her back where she could better defend herself and grabbed the shotgun that she had dropped during the fall by this time it already recovered from the kick and was at her leg again. She pointed the gun at the monster's head and pulled the trigger.

Click

"Fuck!" instead on a blast that would have surely taken this thing's head off, the gun made a clicking sound. She had watched enough movies to know that it meant the gun was not loaded. The thing already crawled up and she attempted to bat it away with the gun but it was unsuccessful. The monster grabbed her shoulders and went for her neck. Luckily for Sandra she was able put the shotgun underneath it's chin, halting further advances. They didn't mean the monster stopped. It continued trying to bite at her tirestly and slowly it was winning. Sandra strength was giving in. Suddenly the creature's head jolted before its body went slack.

She pushed the thing off the and saw Clementine behind it holding a bloodied screw driver in her hands.

"Are you okay? Did it get you." Clementine said worriedly.

"I'm fine...just give me a second..." She said rising to her feet.

She look down at her hands and noticed that they were shaking. Her heart was also practically beating out of her chest because of that terrifying experience.

"Is it dead?" Sandra asked.

"I think so." Clementine said cautiously.

"Good."

Sandra looked back at the cop car.

"Now lets get this guy out here before any more of them come."
