Well, guys, this has been a really fun ride, but sadly, this is the last chapter of this fanfiction. We want to thank you for all the awesome reviews and making this a pretty successful story! There will be more down at the bottom. :)

For a few moments, Lee, Clementine, Christa, and Omid looked around at the abundance of walkers hanging around the Marsh House. They just hoped that this plan would work, and that they would find the other half of their group safely.

"You guys go first," Christa whispered. "Omid and I will be right behind you."

Lee nodded and wrapped his arm around Clementine, getting caught in the clustered horde. Clem seemed to be a little afraid, but she was managing. Omid and Christa walked a few paces behind them, but not too closely. So far, so good.

They were halfway out of the horde when Clementine stopped dead in her tracks, turning to her right with a look of horror on her face. Lee turned to see what she was looking at, and what was probably the most awful moments of Clementine's life suddenly occurred.

The undead version of her mother turned around, her body still rotting. A rather noticeable bite mark was on her arm. Her father appeared next, and he looked worse; he was partially devoured, according to the large wound on his stomach.

Clementine looked on, trying desperately not to cry.

Lee was horrified as well, and looked down at who was now his little girl. "Clem, don't look. It's gonna be okay, sweet pea."

"My...parents..." she was barely able to get out.

"I know, Clem," Lee murmured. "But we have to keep moving," he explained gently, and urged her on with the arm that was wrapped around her. They continued to walk through the crowd of walkers, careful, taking each step with extra caution, until they were almost near the end of the street. Lee was surprised that this plan had actually worked, and he wondered if Carlos, Lilly, and Sarah had made it to the outskirts of town yet, or if something happened to them as well.

"Now what?" Christa asked once they neared the edge of the walkers.

"We need to regroup," Lee replied simply. "Carlos should be waiting with Lilly and Sarah."

"And if he's not?" Christa inquired.

Lee turned to look at her. "Then we do what you said before, get the hell out of the city."

"Sounds good," she nodded. "Let's get moving."

Clementine held onto Lee's hand tightly, trying to stop the tears from falling until they were someplace safe. They soon found themselves in an area where no walkers were present, and the little girl couldn't take it anymore. She began to sob quietly to herself.

The others stopped walking, and Lee knelt down to Clem's level, feeling all ounces of sympathy. Clementine threw her arms around his neck and buried her face into his shoulder, not caring about what they were all covered in.

Lee hugged her back and spoke soothing words to hopefully calm her down. "I know, honey, I know. Shh, it's okay, it's going to be fine." He rubbed small circles into her back as she wept.

Omid and Christa looked at one another sadly. They had all lost someone, but Clementine was just a little girl.

Clementine broke the embrace and looked up at Lee, the tears still streaming down her face. "I'm s-sorry, Lee. I-I want to leave."

"Clem, you have nothing to be sorry for," Lee said soothingly. "Nothing is your fault, okay? Everything's going to be alright." At that, he stood up again, and Clementine slipped her tiny hand back into Lee's larger one.

Night was falling now, and the atmosphere of rain was in the air. The four of them made it to where the train was, but instead of seeing Carlos, Sarah, and Lilly, they saw some more walkers approaching into the city of Savannah.

"Damn it," Christa muttered.

"So they're not here..." Omid trailed off.

"Fuck..." Lee muttered, placing his head in his hands. He wanted to believe that the other half of the group had arrived safely, but it was clear that they hadn't. Were they even still alive?

"Should we wait?" Omid asked.

Lee shook his head. "No, it's too risky."

"Are you sure?" Christa inquired. "They could still be on the way." But she was only having wishful thinking. The train was overrun with walkers, even if they had arrived here, they wouldn't have been able to stay. Being around walkers was so risky.

"What about Sarah?" Clementine asked, jumping into the conversation. "Is she going to be okay?"

"I'm sure she's fine, Clem," Lee assured her, placing a gentle hand on her back. "Don't worry, Carlos would never let anything happen to her."

"Okay," Clementine replied, looking down at the ground with a sad expression. Why was everyone leaving them? What about Kenny, and Ben? Where were they?

"We'd better go, before they realize that we're not walkers," Christa announced, though not too loudly. The others agreed, as the rain would wash off all of the guts on their skin, and made their way away from the train, which was just another lost hope now.

Clementine was completely silent, even hours later when they found themselves in a large field with, somehow, no walkers. Carlos, Sarah, and Lilly were still nowhere to be found. The group hoped that nothing had happened to any of them, especially when one was just a kid herself.

"I think we should stop soon," Lee noted. "It's getting dark." Not to mention the fact that they were drenched, and all still smelled pretty bad. The area seemed relatively safe. It was a mystery on how it was empty, though.

They found a spot with a log, a tree, and two shots of ammunition. It seemed like an okay place to spend the night, but you could never be too careful.

"Where the hell are we?" Lilly questioned as she, Carlos, and Sarah continued to walk through the now empty city streets. It was beyond dark now, and they still hadn't returned to the train like Lee told them to.

"This would be easier if we had a map," Carlos replied, frustrated. He then looked over at Lilly. "Do you think they found Clementine?" he questioned thoughtfully.

Lilly shrugged. "Maybe."

"I know she's okay," Sarah commented as she trekked on tiredly behind Lilly and her father. She was shaking like a leaf due to the rain that was falling earlier. Her clothes were soaked, but they didn't want to stop.

"I'm sure she is, sweetie," Carlos coaxed.

"What if he leaves without us?" Lilly asked, turning the conversation back to Lee.

"You think he'd do that?"

"If he had to, sure. Yeah," Lilly answered.

Carlos didn't comment, and soon, he felt Sarah take his hand in hers.

"Dad, where will we go?" the young teen asked. "What if the train isn't safe anymore?"

This was something Carlos had to think about for a few moments, before remembering that they had been told to go into the countryside after Clementine was found and rescued.

"We need to leave the city, Sarah, because cities aren't safe anymore," he explained. "You remember what Christa said, right?"

Sarah nodded, and looked ahead. She hoped they would stop soon, because she was starting to get tired.

Lilly, playing the leader once again, came up with a plan. "If we don't find the others within the next day, we should go back and find the RV. It got us far enough; we can use that to get the hell out of Georgia."

"Are you sure? That's at least a couple days' walk from here," Carlos pointed out.

"And I don't suppose you have anything better?" Lilly nearly scoffed. She sighed. "Alright. We can stop for the night once we get out of the city, or at least find a building. Then, we walk."

They continued to walk, searching for some kind of clearing or building to stop and get some much needed rest for the night. Sarah could barely keep her eyes open, and Carlos knew that she wouldn't be able to last much longer. After another hour or so of walking, the group came to an abandoned house, and Lilly decided that they should stay there for the night.

"I'll make sure it's clear," she said, and crept into the house, searching for walkers. Once she was sure it was safe, they went inside and made camp for the night. Sarah went to bed right away, but despite how exhausted they both were, Lilly and Carlos found that sleep just wouldn't come.

It was all too obvious, the reason why Lilly couldn't sleep. The memory of having to shoot her father was still very fresh in her mind, and it was something that would never go away for as little or as long as she had left to live. She wanted to scream, throw everything in sight, kill every walker in an attempt to avenge Larry's death, but she couldn't. Her instincts wouldn't let her.

As for Carlos, he stayed up to think about things. Where would they go? They couldn't stay in Savannah, it wasn't safe. Walking almost nonstop for weeks probably wouldn't do them any good. Not to mention, they had nearly no supplies.

He walked over to the couch where Lilly was sitting, and sat beside her.

"Before you ask, no, I'm not okay," Lilly told him, starting blankly straight ahead.

Carlos sighed. "I know, Lilly. But we should really think about where we're going, especially if we don't find the others."

"All I can think about is my dad..." she told him honestly. "It's like my mind just won't function right."

"And it will be like that for a while," Carlos told her truthfully. "The only thing you can do is just know that he's watching over you, in a better place," he added, attempting to comfort the young woman.

"You've done so much for me, and all I've done is treated you like shit," Lilly stated bluntly. "I can't help it, that's just the way I am."

"It's okay," Carlos reassured her. "We all do and say things we don't mean."

Lilly smiled briefly, before getting back to the more serious subject. "Do you think the RV is a good idea?"

"I can't be sure," Carlos answered. "But even if it isn't a good idea, it's all we've got."

"You're right," Lilly commented. "But it will take us days to get back there."

"We should try and find Lee before we do anything. If we don't find them by tomorrow evening, then we should go back where we came from. It's not safe here."

Lilly didn't have her heart set on finding them again, but she nodded anyway. "That actually seems like a decent plan," she noted. "We should leave tomorrow. And find some supplies while we're at it."

"Sounds good," Carlos agreed. He paused. "Perhaps you should try and get some sleep."

Lilly sighed. "How can I?" She placed her head in her hands for the umpteenth time. "God, I wish we still had that wine bottle."

Carlos didn't like the idea of Lilly drinking near Sarah, but there was nothing he could say as long as there was no alcohol in sight.

"I'm sorry, Lilly," he said instead. "If there's anything that I can do for you, come find me."

Lilly nodded. "Thanks."

The doctor stood up from the couch and decided to leave Lilly alone, at least for right now. She deserved time to grieve.

Morning came just as fast as night had arrived, and it was time for the three of them to get on the move once more. They needed to make it to the train quickly to see if Lee and the others were there with Clementine. There was a small thought in the back of Carlos' mind that they didn't make it, but he didn't want to dwell on that thought. He was attempting to stay optimistic for both Lilly and Sarah's sake; God knows they both needed it.

"I think I see the train, Dad!" Sarah said excitedly, while they were walking. "Oh no..." she trailed off once she saw that there were walkers all around.

"Holy shit..." Lilly said in shock. "Why are there so many?"

"...I don't know," Carlos replied.

"Lee can't be here," Lilly insisted.

"You don't know that," Carlos said.

"Why the hell would they stick around with a bunch of walkers?"

"Maybe they went another way?" Sarah offered with a shrug, trying to help. "I really want them all to be safe."

"We should try the countryside, as Christa suggested," Carlos said.

Lilly nodded in agreement, and the three of them set off away from the train before the walkers could spot them. The young woman only walked a few paces before turning to gaze back at Savannah, in the direction in which Larry was killed.

She didn't know how long she spent gazing in sadness, but it probably wasn't a long time before she felt Carlos' hand on her shoulder.

"Come on, Lilly," he said gently. "We need to go."

Lilly sighed, and nodded again. "Okay."

And so they set off. Whether they would find their friends or not, however, was a whole other story.

And there we have it! Okay, so a lot of you have been asking since awhile back, "Will there be a sequel?" And the answer to that is yes. :) "We Continue On" will be posted on my profile sometime in the near future. Feel free to check out our other stories, and you can ask me about other co-written projects I've done with others. Until next time, stay awesome and we'll see you next time!
