Hello everyone! Thank you for all of the awesome reviews, and we're almost at 100! :D Only two more and we'll be at that mark. And thank you all for over 2,000 views, even though half of them are on chapter one. XD Anyway, the results of the voting will be at the end of the chapter, and I really don't know when to end this story. :/ I know what the final choice will be, but whenever I decide to have a final chapter I end up not writing one and just writing another chapter. Anyway, please enjoy this chapter and review/vote!
Note: Gueeeeess whaaaaaaat? People aren't reviewing the chapter again. I really enjoyed writing last chapter because it was really intense and descriptful, but people once again just voted...please review the actual chapter or the voting will be removed. Reviews are meant for reviewing the story, the choices are just side-things. I'm using loads of effort to do this and the majority of people are just voting. What's the point anyway? Will you just skip to the bottom of the next chapter and vote again?

The mysterious boy narrowed his eyes as Sarah stared at him in fear. He trembled as he got ready to shoot her, but Sarah could clearly tell he didn't want to do it. The walker behind him limped closer, with the boy completely oblivious to his incoming fate. Unless Sarah stopped it.
[Warn The Boy]
[Do Nothing]
Sarah, even though she didn't want anyone else to die, lowered her head and looked at the ground, deciding not to warn the boy. He looked at her weirdly and got ready to shoot her when the walker grabbed him and pulled him backwards, making the gun fall out of his hands and land on the grass. He screamed in terror as he waved his arms around, trying desperately to punch the walker. The walker was unfazed, however, and it leaned down and bit deep into the boy's shoulder. The boy screamed and fell to the floor where the walker began to devour him as Sarah watched sadly.
"I'm...sorry..." She whispered as she crouched down, picking up the boy's gun. He lay on the ground, completely motionless as the walker continued to eat him. Sarah shot the walker in the head and then did it again to the boy, now knowing that people come back when they die.
She stood silently for a moment, trying to figure out what was going on, when she heard a scream in the distance. It was coming from the forest. She ran into it, holding both of her guns in her hands. She skidded to a halt as she came to a clearing, where she saw Bonnie on the ground with the bullet hole in her leg while Luke stood in front of her, looking like he was protecting her. She then heard a loud voice and she saw the three men and the woman all standing there, aiming their guns at the two. Sarah's eyes widened.
No...no...please! Luke! Sarah thought as she crouched down behind a bush and began to tremble. What could she do!? Nothing! There were three huge men with shotguns! What could a little girl with two handguns do? Nothing!
She watched as Luke tried to persuade the bandits but they didn't listen and one walked towards him and whacked him to the ground using his shotgun. He proceeded to beat him up while Sarah covered her mouth not to cry out. Bonnie screamed and tried to pull the man off Luke but the woman pushed her back onto the ground.
Sarah suddenly noticed something in the corner of her eye and when she looked it was a hand, and it looked like it was waving her over. Sarah slowly made her way over to where the hand was, not taking her eyes off Luke for a second. She made it to where the hand was and she sighed in relief to see Kenny and Clementine.
"We have to do something! We have to help Luke!" Sarah whispered, not wanting the final cabin member to die.
"We're trying to think of something, but we don't know how we can take down four bandits and get two of our people to safety. Especially now that one of them is beaten down and the other one has got a bullet in her goddamn leg." Kenny muttered as he peeked out from behind the bush. "Any ideas?"
"..." Sarah looked down at the ground.
"Why don't we sneak up on them from behind? Or just shoot them?" Clementine suggested and Kenny sighed in frustration. "We can just duck down under the bush if anything happens."
"...I dunno, Clem. Seems kinda risky." Kenny said, watching as the man stopped beating up Luke and backed up, aiming his gun at him again.
"I got an extra gun, if that helps..." Sarah said quietly, showing them the gun. Kenny's eyes widened.
"Where did you get that!?" Kenny said, a little annoyed that Sarah hadn't said anything before. Sarah flinched slightly, not wanting to get Kenny of all people mad.
"After you two left a boy came behind me and he was aiming a gun at me. He was about to shoot." Sarah said and Kenny and Clementine gasped. "But a walker was coming up behind him...and it got him. I picked up his gun afterwards."
"Good...that's good, Sarah." Kenny said. "Now maybe we have a chance. Maybe we should sneak up on them."
"We can do it from here." said Clementine. "We're protected by the bushes and the trees, and we're really close to Luke and Bonnie. We can shoot in the distance to distract them, grab the two and run. Or we could actually shoot them."
Sarah cringed, liking the first idea better. Also, she wasn't the best aim yet, which she learned when she tried to save Luke but instead her aiming killed Mike...she looked up at Kenny who seemed to be thinking things through.
"...We'll just go with what happens." Kenny finally decided. "We'll shoot a couple of rounds into the distance, grab Luke and Bonnie and get out of there. But if they shoot at us, we can't back down. Okay, Sarah?"
Sarah reluctantly nodded, not wanting to hurt anyone. Despite her losing most of her innocence in just a couple of weeks, she still held onto some of it and she promised herself she wouldn't let go of it. Kenny pulled out his gun and glanced at Clementine, who was holding her gun with a 'let's do it' look on her face. Kenny nodded and he quickly jumped up from the bush, shooting into the woods behind the bandits. They all ducked down, glancing around and looking for who shot at them. Kenny ducked back down and faced the two girls.
"Ready?" He said to them. Clementine nodded with a faint look of fright on her face, while Sarah trembled and tried to catch her breath. She squeezed her two guns tightly. Kenny looked at her in dismay before he quietly stood up. "Okay...let's go."
Kenny and Clementine burst out of the woods and into the clearing while the bandits were looking in the direction the bullets went. Sarah stayed in the bushes for a moment but she eventually built up enough courage to sneak out, clutching both guns.
"Oh, thank god..." Luke breathed a sigh of relief, completely covered with bruises. The three walked up to him. "I heard Bonnie scream and I followed the voice, and I saw the bandits cornering her."
"You can tell us later." Kenny said. "Do you think you can get up?"
"I...think so..." Luke said, painfully getting to his feet. He winced slightly but managed to stay quiet and the bandits were still distracted. Bonnie also tried to get up but the pain in her leg made her cry out and fall to the ground. The three men and the woman turned around and growled, lifting up their guns.
"Shit!" Kenny cursed angrily, ducking down as the three men began shooting at the group. Their bullets flew everywhere, but luckily they shot into the ground or into tree trunks and not into the group members. "We need to start shooting. Luke, Clem, Sarah, distract them. I'm gonna get Bonnie."
The three nodded and pulled out their guns, shooting at the bandits. Sarah's ears rang and her hands stung, but she continued to shoot. The men were approaching them, but luckily Kenny had thrown Bonnie over his shoulder.
"Alright, let's g-" Kenny began when a bullet whizzed past his head, plummeting through Bonnie's forehead and killing her immediately. Sarah screamed while Clementine and Luke gasped.
"NO!" Luke yelled as blood flowed out of Bonnie's bullet wound. Kenny dropped her and pulled out his gun, angrily shooting at the bandits. He managed to hit one in the stomach, making it cough and fall to the ground.
The woman had a handgun and was approaching Sarah, who screamed and scrambled to her feet, aiming her gun at the woman. Sarah frowned sadly but this time she didn't hesitate to pull the trigger. The bullet went through the woman's hand and she screamed in pain while Sarah gasped. The woman glanced up at Sarah in anger and was about to shoot her when walkers began to trickle into the scene, where her eyes widened.
"Arvo..." Sarah heard the woman say, and she dropped her gun. The woman fell to the knees as a walker that looked identical to the boy that Sarah let get eaten limped towards her. Sarah covered her mouth and tried not to cry. She quickly turned away and ran back to the others who were still fighting the bandits.
"How could you do that!?" Luke roared in anger, shooting non-stop at one of the bandits that was hiding behind a tree. It began to rain as stormy clouds filled up the sky. Walkers entered the clearing in hundreds, but the bandits and Sarah's group didn't care. It took them a while before they realised what was happening.
"We have to go now!" Clementine yelled as the walkers crowded around them. Sarah noticed one of the bandits getting grabbed and devoured and she yelped.
Kenny stopped shooting and ran as fast as he could towards the woods, with Luke, Clementine and Sarah in tow. The baby began to stir, letting out cries as they ran. Soon the group were cornered, and the walkers were approaching.
"There's too many! Sarah, I need that extra gun!" Kenny yelled, holding out his gun for Sarah to grab.
"No! My gun is almost empty, I need it!" Luke said, reaching out for the gun. Sarah glanced at Clementine, who's gun clicked, signalling she had no ammo remaining.
But my gun is low too...I might need the second gun soon... Sarah said. Who should I give the gun too?
[Give Gun To Kenny]
[Give Gun To Luke]
[Give Gun To Clementine]
