After we finished dinner we went to the barn. It was our roost and it was definetely more comfortable than our car.
It wasn't easy for me to fall asleep. I didn't think of Ben. Moreover I was worried about the world. I was worried about the fact, that nothing would be like it was before. I was worried about the fact, that I was pregnat. In a world where human were dead but used to walk around. It wouldn't be easy to find a doctor. I wasn't even sure, if we would find a doctor anyway. And I absolutely would need one. In less than 8 months I would give birth to a baby. To a new being. And I would probabely die, if I got no help. And my child would die, too.
I knew my aunt was a good vet. But I wasn't an animal and so my child wasn't.
I kept thinking about these things a little, before I finally fall asleep.
The next morning I noticed a little girl and a man who both came out of the barn with Kenny.
"Who are these people, Katjaa?"
"I don't know, dear..."
We made our way to the little girl with her cap and her sweet-looking curls. She wore a little dress with was a bit faded.
"Hey you. How are you?"
The girl looked around before answering the question I asked.
"Fine.. thanks."
I don't know why, but right at this moment I started to think about my baby. I wondered if it would be as cute as this little girl was.
Unconscious I touched my belly.
"Honey, Duck and Emilia, this is Lee and... what's the girls name?"
The man looked at us, before he continued to speak.
"Clementine."
Kenny repeated the name.
"Oh, that is a very pretty name", my aunt said.
The little girl called Clementine answered with a shy but cute "Thanks".
I looked at the girl. She reminded me of my little sister Sandra. I tought that Clementine might be the same age as her.
"So your name is Clementine, huuh? U got a nickname or s'thing like that?", I asked.
The girl looked to the man and than back to me.
"No... noo."
"So, would you mind if I call you Clem?"
Before she could answer, Shawn made his way to us.
"Well, we should go to work. We've all seen what those things can do out there so the faste we fix the fence the better."
"Yeeeah, think so too", the man named Lee said.
"Fine I gotta help ya.. four hands are better than two", Kenny said.
"Ohhh daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, can't I come with you? I really wanna help! And I can help. You'll see.."
"Honey, I don't think it's a good idea. He..."
"Oh Katjaa, let's have him some fun."
"Mom, pleaseeeee..."
"Alright, fine. But watch out okay?"
"Yes moooom.. thaaaaanks.."
Kenny, Duck, Lee and Shawn went straight to the fence.
Katjaa, Clem and me stayed were we where.
"So Clementine, do you wanna play something? Like hide and seek?"
I recognized that Clem was very shy. I did my best to cheer her up, but I wasn't successful.
She shook her head and eyed Lee again.
I lowered my head and sat down next to my aunt.
"How are u feelin' Em?"
"Fine, I guess."
"What about your belly?"
"It's fine, too."
"You know, it will not be easy...But I want you to know that you can count on me and Kenny. We'll help you, as good as we can."
"I know.. thanks a lot."
Kenny came back to us and went into the barn.
"Need something to drink", he said.
After some minutes we suddenly heard a sream. It was Duck.
I don't know how, but Duck made it to turn on the tractor he was sitting on. And this tractor now laid on Shawn.
As if this wasn't enough some walkers tried to catch Shawn and Duck.
I saw that Shawn's leg stuck under the tractor. Lee tried to pull him away, but the tractor was to heavy to move. Then he tried to shove the tractor away. But this wasn't possible.
I helped him but at least I wasn't helpful at all. I was to weak.
Kenny who heard his son screaming too made his way to us.
He looked at us in shock.
"Come on Kenny, help me", Lee begged.
I looked at Kenny.
"It's allright. Help him. I'm going to pick Duck."
And so I did. I got him down and ran to Katjaa.
Kenny tried to help Lee, but they weren't successful. Shawn got bitten. And there was just one way to help him.
They had to shot him.
But before they were able to do it, Hershel came up to them, worried about the sream and noise he heard.
"What he hell is wrong he..."
He saw his son. Bitten and sreaming for help.
"Shaa...Shaawn? What did you both do to him you little assholes?"
"Daaad, pleea..please. Heel..help me."
Hershel wasn't really sure what do to now.
"You have to kill him. He got bitten. I am.. I am sorry", Lee sadly said.
"I see it, you fucking bastard. Go and leave us. NOW."
"Buuut..", Lee wanted to say, but he got cut off by Kenny.
"C'mon man. There is nothing we can do for him.."
They both left the scenario and came back to us.
"What happened?", Katjaa asked."
"Tell u later, just gotta go now..U guys comin' with us?", Kenny asked Lee.
Lee just slighty nodded.
"Is the man gonna be alright, Lee?", Clementine said.
"I don't know."
He lied but I knew why he did it.
