A/N: What's up everybody! :) Firstly, I wanna thank you to everyone that has reviewed and read my story. You know I am truly surprised that people actually like my story. I mean I know I'm not the greatest writer ever and don't consider myself to be, I write for and to have fun, but I am super happy and proud to know that some people really take time to read, favor, and follow my story. So, from the very bottom of my heart, I gave an enormous thanks to you folks. Also, I've decided not to add another Spartan into the mix and will instead use that Idea for another TWD x Halo story in the future. (:

Alright, let's recap: The cabin group accepted Cal and Clementine into their home. They went fishing with Pete and Nick, discovering a dozen dead bodies by the river that was possibly done by Carver, then they were attacked by a herd of walkers before escaping.

As some of you may've noticed, I split each episode into parts in this story. I did that as a way of keeping it episodic like the game and I also edited Chapter 2 up, so In case anybody wants too, they could go back and read it again.

Well, enough of the chit-chat, on with the story...

I don't own aything but maybe a few OCS.

Chapter - 3: A house divided.

Calista and Clementine ran through the woods, dodging and killing walker after walker with Cal using her spear and Clementine using her handgun. They both ended up in a small clearing surrounded by a dozen walkers, but they were easily taking out as more began showing up.

"We aren't going to make it back there in time with these deadheads in our way." The female Spartan thought as she Impaled two walkers through the head with her spear, before pulling it out and stabbing another walker in the head that tried to sneak up behind her. Using her enhanced sight, Calista looked around for anymore and spotted something in another clearing not too far away. It looked like a small house or maybe a shed of some type.

"Clem, head that way towards that small house." Calista ordered, pointing in the direction of the building.

"What about you?" The eleven year old asked her worriedly, while shooting a walker in the head.

"Don't worry about me, Clem, I'll catch up." The female Spartan told her as she speared three walkers at once through the abdomen and impaling them up against a tree, before pulling her spear out and smashing their heads clean off.

The young girl as she was told and ran towards the building, dodging more walkers, until she reached it and went inside. The building, which turned out to be an old shed used to make moonshine, was full of large wooden crates and a broken distilling-apparatus.

Seeing Clemetine was safe, Cal decided to take out the rest of the walkers herself. She used her spear, strength, fists, feet and speed to kill every single walker within the area. After a few minutes of fighting, Cal was standing tall with over a dozen dead zomibes at her feet. Despite her shirt being covered in walker blood, she wasn't even tired in the least.

"The Covenant put up more of a fight, then these things." Cal muttered aloud, before glancing at her shirt and grimaced in disgust, "Note to self: Change shirt."

After making sure there was no more walkers, the female Spartan made her way over to the small shed and knocked on the door. "Clem, It's ok, you can come out now." She said.

The door opened as Clementine peaked through and seeing that everything was alright, the young girl ran out and Immediately embraced her much taller friend with tears running down her cheeks.

"There were so many walkers, I thought you weren't going to make it." The eleven year old sniffled, looking up at her friend.

"It's going to take more, then just a few walkers to stop me." Cal said, before kneeling down to Clementine's level. "You did really good today, Clem." She told her, "You're one hell of a shot."

The young girl wipped her tears away and smiled at the female Spartan, "Thank you."

Calista smiled back, before she stood up and said, "Lets go."

They both headed off into the woods towards the direction the cabin was in. After a few minutes of searching, they managed to find it and went inside through the kitchen. Carlos and Rebecca were sitting at the dinner table, playing cards, when Cal and Clementine come bursting in.

"You guys are back early." Carlos said, before noticing two people were missing. "Where's Pete and Nick?"

"We were attacked at the river by a herd of walkers." Cal said, getting straight to the point, "Pete and Nick ran in a different direction, while Clem and I headed back here."

"What's going on?" Luke asked as he and Alvin walked in.

"Nick and Pete have gone missing." Rebecca said, urgently and now worried for her friends.

"Get your stuff, Luke, we're going out to find them." Carlos says, standing up and putting the cards away.

"I'll come to." Alvin said.

"What? No, you're not going out there!" His wife practically yelled.

"I have too, Becca." Alvin said, giving her a slightly frustrating look, "Our friends could be in trouble and besides, I'm the third best tracker here."

"...Fine." Rebecca relented with a sigh, "But I'm going with you."

"Becca-"

"No, I'm going and that's final." His wife said, glaring at him.

"Calista, can you and Clementine watch Sarah while we're gone?" Carlos asked, somewhat hesitantly. "She gets nervous when she's by herself."

"We'll look after her." Clementine said with a smile, "You can trust us."

"Thank you." The doctor says, giving them a grateful look.

After gathering their gear and weapons, the small group departed to search for Pete and Nick. The female Spartan, along with Clementine, wondered If they'll find them in time.

Once everybody left, Cal turned to Clementine, "Why don't you go upstairs and check on Sarah, Clem." She asked, "I'll be up in a second."

The young girl nodded, before heading up to Sarah's room, while Cal headed into the living room to look through the bag of clothes Pete had given her for a clean shirt. Suddenly, a human shaped shadow passed by the living room window and Immediately alerted the female Spartan.

"Who was that? The others couldn't be back already." Cal thought with a frown, before she walked over to the window and seen a person heading around the cabin towards the front door. The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs drew Calista's attention as Sarah and Clementine appeared, but the older girl wasn't her usual happy self, she looked scared.

"What's wrong?" The female Spartan asked.

"He found us." Sarah whimpered, shaking like a leaf.

"Who?" Clementine asked.

*KNOK!, KNOK!, KNOK!*

The teenage girl yelped and began hyperventilating as someone knocked on the front door. "He can't see me, he can't see me, he can't see me!" Sarah repeated, feeling terrified and hastily backing up against the wall. "Please, go away." She whispered timidly, before sliding down the wall and going into a fetal position as well as rocking back and forth with a terrified look on her face.

"Hello?" The stranger called out as he knocked again and even tried seeing through the tinted window, but couldn't.

"What are we gonna do?" The teen asked.

"Clem, take Sarah back upstairs and hide." Cal ordered sternly, "I'll deal with our guest."

"Okay." The eleven year old said, before gently taking Sarah's hand, "Come on, Sarah."

The teenager obliged as both girls quickly and quietly ran back up to Sarah's room. Once Clementine and Sarah were out of sight and safe, Calista approaced the door with total caution and just as the stranger was about to knock again, she opened the door.

"Hello-" The stranger stopped his greeting half way, his eyes going wide at the sight of Cal.

"Who are you?" The female Spartan demanded as she walked out and shut the door behind her, before putting herself between the door and the stranger, barring him entry.

The stranger was an older man, who stood at least six-feet tall, had graying brown hair, a mustache and wore a dark brown coat with a fur collar.

Cal narrowed her eyes at him and says, "I'm waiting?"

The man composes himself quickly, raises his hands in the air and smiles at Cal, "No need for the aggressive tone, mam. And as an answer for your question, well, I'm your neighbor."

"Neighbor?" Calista said, raising a questioning brow.

"Yeah, my family and I settled a little ways down river." The man says, glancing and pointing in the direction he supposely come from as Cal frowned at him in suspicion, neither Carlos nor Luke said anything about another group residing in the area last night, she then noticed that the stranger had a Colt revolver at his hip, before slowly reaching her hand around to grip the Glock 17 in the back of her waistband.

"I'm kinda surprised we haven't ran into each other." The man said, turning back to Cal, "What's your name?"

Calista stared at him silently in distrust, there was something off about this man and It rang alarm bells in her mind. After a few more seconds of silence, Cal finally answered him and decided lying was best suited for this situation, "My name's Alice. What's yours?" She asked.

"Well, Alice, I'm George." 'George' answered/Introduced, "Do you mind, If I come in?"

The man made an attempt to reach behind Cal and towards the door, but she grabbed his wrist quickly. "Yes, I do mind." She said sharply, applying some force in her grip on his hand; not enough to hurt him, but enough to get the message across.

The man's eyes widen slightly at the amount of strength, Cal was using, but then again she was a lot taller than him and usually big people are pretty strong. At least that's what he was probably thinking. But If he knew what Cal truly was, he wouldn't mess with her at all.

"Understandable." 'George' said, retracting back his hand and holding it in slight pain. "Are you by yourself?"

"He's persistent and Inquistive." The female Spartan thought, before she shook her head and said, "No, It's just me and my two daughters."

"Oh, what's their names?"

"I'm not willing to share that informantion, sir." Cal said, narrowing her eyes at him, her suspicion for this man rising each time he asks a question.

The man seemed angry at that, but only for a split second, until he calmed himself and spoke, "Alright, I'll cut to the chase. I'm missing several members of my group and I fear they may've gotten lost out around here. Maybe you've seen them?" He said/asked.

"How many and what do they look like?" Cal asked, crossing her arms.

"There's only seven of them; a couple of farm boys and an old man, a spanish guy and his teenage daughter, a big black guy with glasses and a pretty little pregnant lady." 'George' answered, smiling a bit at the mention of the pregnant lady.

"I'm sorry, sir, but I haven't seen or met anyone of those descriptions." Calista said, although inwardly she was greatly concerned how this man knew Carlos, Luke, Alvin, Sarah, Nick, Pete and Rebecca. Nick did mention a dangerous man named, Carver, several times. Perhaps, this man could be Carver, but using a fake name. If he is indeed this Carver person, he sure wasn't expecting Calista to be here.

'George' or 'Carver' stared at the female Spartan as if he were deciding she was lying or not, but Cal kept a straight face. Finally, after a few seconds of silence, the man spoke, "Well, It looks like I've troubled you long enough, I'll be leaving now." He said, before turning and walking away.

Once she made sure the unknown man was completely gone, Cal headed back inside as Clementine and Sarah came down stairs, a belt warily. "Is he gone?" The teenager asked, nervously.

'Yes, Sarah, he's gone." Cal nodded as Sarah breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know who that man was, Sarah?" Clementine asked, curiously.

The teen looked between Calista and Clementine nervously, wondering if she should tell them or not, but what harm would it be If she did? Calista's big and very strong from what Clementine has told her, she could protect them both if something bad were to happen.

"That was William Carver and he's a really bad man." Sarah finally answered, rubbing her arm sheepishly. "He hurt a lot of people where we used to live, but he hurt Rebecca the most." She added.

"So it was him." Cal thought, a deep frown on her face."That explains why he's out searching for the group, Rebecca could possibly be pregnant with his child." Even though, said woman got on her nerves, the female Spartan felt some sympathy for Rebecca. Whatever, Carver has planned for her or the baby is completely unknown, but Cal will see that he doesn't ever lay his hands on neither Rebecca, Clementine or Sarah. If he somehow does...well, Carver's going to wish he hadn't.

"Sarah wants to ask you something, Calista." Clementine said, breaking the female Spartan from her thoughts, before gazing down at the teen in question.

"What is it, Sarah?" She Inquired.

Meekly, Sarah pulled out a Beretta M9 and showed it to Calista. "Can you and Clementine teach me, how to shoot a gun? I wanna be able to protect myself, my dad or my friends if we get into trouble." She said.

The female Spartan Immediately took the gun away from her, taking the clip out and finding it empty, she then popped the clip back in, before clicking the safety on and handed it to Sarah. "Why us? Why not your father?" She asked.

"I wanna show my daddy that I'm growing up and I could be responsible, so he doesn't have to treat me like a baby all the time." Sarah explains, a fierce determination in her eyes.

Cal raises a brow at her, before looking at Clementine for her opinion, "What do you think, Clem?"

"I think we should teach her." The young girl says with a smile, "It's what Lee did for me."

Calista nodded, before turning to Sarah again, "It's settled, we'll teach you, Sarah..."

The teenager beamed happily as Cal continued, but in a more stern and serious tone, "But listen closely to our Instructions and don't get too distracted."

"Okay." Sarah said, nodding vigorously, before running upstairs to gather some ammo for her gun. As she was doing that, Cal looked to Clementine and asked, "Do you think she's ready?"

The eleven year old seemed to think about it, as If there were several options to choose from, "We won't know, until we try at least." She said, glancing up at her Spartan friend.

Calista nodded at that as they both waited for the eager teenager to come down.

A couple of hours later, Calista was setting up a shooting range by placing several empty cans up along a fence post as Clementine showed Sarah how to properly handle a gun.

"Remember, Sarah, It's not a toy." The eleven year said, sternly.

"I know." The teenager responded, sounding slightly annoyed as Cal finished putting the cans up and walked over to them.

"Also, remember it's an object and it's not going to hurt you." The female Spartan says, before Sarah turned and took aim at the cans.

"Which one should I shoot?" Sarah asked.

"It doesn't matter as long as you take one down." Cal-141 stated as she adjusted the teen's arms a little better, so the gun doesn't fly out of her hands or smack Sarah in the face.

"The most Important thing when you go to shoot is take a breath, before you pull the tigger." Clementine says as Calista nods at that.

"That's correct."

Taking a deep breath, Sarah takes appropriate aim and fires, striking down one of the cans. The teenager goes wide eyed, before happily saying, "I did it!"

"Good job, Sarah." Clementine praised, smiling at her friend.

The teenager beamed, before taking aim again and started shooting down some more cans. It wasn't long, until Clementine also joined in and a small competition soon began between the two of them to see who's a better shot. It was obvious Clementine was better, because of experience, but Sarah held her own pretty well.

Cal watched from the sidelines with her arms crossed, greatly impressed by both of their firing accuracy. Suddenly, she felt a pang of saddness in her chest, Clementine and Sarah shouldn't be shooting guns or killing undead monsters. They should be going to school, playing outside or hanging out friends, not doing this. Plus, It also reminded Calista of her training back on Reach, now that she wouldn't wish on either Clementine or Sarah.

"Wanna give it a try, Calista?" Sarah asked, stopping to reload her gun.

"You are sure? I might outshine you." Cal said, smirking slightly.

"How good of a shot are you?" Clementine asked, having never seen her tall friend fire a gun before.

Calista pulled out her Glock 17 with Incredible reflexes and speed, shooting down every single can, until none were left standing and all in a span of 12 seconds. Clementine and Sarah stood, shocked and amazed by Cal skills.

"Cool!" The teenager exclaimed, "You have to teach us how to do that, Calista."

"Maybe some day." The female Spartan replied, before putting her gun on safety and tucking it back into her waistband. She then looked up and noticed the sun was beginning to set. "Let's pack it in, you two." Cal tells the girls, "We'll call it a night and start fresh in the morning."

"Do you think, the others will find Nick and Pete?" Clementine asked.

"I'm unsure, Clem," Cal responded, glancing at the woods for a brief second, "We can only hope..."

An entire night passed and Luke's group still hasn't showed up yet. Clementine and Sarah were starting to worry about them, believing something bad may've happened. Calista decided that, come morning, she'll go out and look for them.

When morning arrived, Cal was in the ktichen preparing for the search as Clementine and Sarah came in. "Are sure you'll be able to find them?" The eleven year asked.

"I've done plenty of these missions before, trust me." The female Spartan responds with a smile, but then she notices the young girl's worried look. "I'll be okay, Clem, don't worry." She added reasurringly.

Clementine still felt a bit unsure, but gave a nod anyway. She didn't want her friend to get hurt or worst out there, despite the fact that she could probably take on a whole army of walkers and win. Plus, Calista felt like a mom to her in the short amount of time she has known her much like how Lee was a father and that made the young girl more worried. If she were to lose Calista, It'd feel like losing her parents and Lee all over again.

Suddenly, the backdoor opened and in came Luke, Alvin, Rebecca, Carlos and Nick. Clementine, Calista and Sarah were both surprised and relieved, seeing their friends alright, but Cal noticed that someone was missing; Pete.

"Dad!" Sarah cried out as she rushed over and hugged her father. Carlos returned it in kind, before the teenager pulled away and told him, "Carver was here..."

"What?!" The group, minus Cal-141 and Clementine, exclaim in unison.

"And Calista talked to him." Sarah adds.

"You talked to him!?" Rebecca angrily yells at the female Spartan.

Calista narrows her eyes at her, causing the pregnant woman to gulp and nervously step back as the female Spartan responds calmly. "I didn't have a choice. It seemed like he going to come in either way."

"Did It seem like he was gonna come back?" Luke asked.

"I couldn't be too sure." Cal replied, "When I spoke with him, he used a fake name and then claimed, he and his family were settled down river from here."

"What name did he use?"

"George." Cal answers.

"Bastard." Alvin growled quietly, clencing his fist in anger, before turning and storming out of the kitchen with Rebecca following right behind him. "Alvin, wait."

Carlos closed his eyes for a few second, before letting out a sigh and said, "He was scouting most likely, but we got lucky. Calista must've surprised him and If she hadn't been here..." The doctor shook his head at the horrible thought and says, "But he was too smart to stick around, but he'll come back with the rest of his group. It would be best, If we leave now."

"He's right." Luke says. "Everybody pack up, we're moving out."

"We're leaving?" Sarah asked.

"Yes, sweetie, before he comes back with more bad guys." Her father says, "But it's gonna be okay." He adds reasurringly.

"You're not gonna hurt anybody are you?" Sarah looked scared at the prospect; walkers are one thing, but people are another.

The doctor shakes his head, "Don't worry, sweetie, I won't." He said, "Now go and get your things."

"Why did you leave his camp?" Clementine asked.

"We had too." Carlos says, glancing at both Cal and Clem with a fearful expression. "I don't know what he's told you, Calista, but William Carver is a dangerous man. He's the leader of a camp in Tennesse and he's very smart; we were lucky to escape with our lives."

"Look, we're sorry to Involve you two, but now that he has seen you; you'll be safer with us." Luke says.

"More like, you'll be safer with me." The female Spartan thought, almost rolling her eyes. Although, Clementine was her main priority, Cal's willing to help this group out and find them a safe place away from Carver and his men. Clementine did tell Calista of a human settlement in a state called, Ohio. A place named: Wellington, perhaps, heading there would be for the best.

Five days later...

The trek was rough, but the group endured it, making the best of the supplies with them. Calista was also a big help when it came to killing any walkers that tried to attack the group and food as the female Spartan had hunted a good sized deer with an M4 rifle she was given for everybody to enjoy. The group came across a huge fissure with a river running through it and stopped for a rest as Clementine climbed atop a large rock to get a better look further out. The eleven year old then pulled out a set of binoculars and gazed at the woods across from them.

"You see anything, Clem?" Cal asked.

Clementine looked to the left and saw a bridge leading to the other side, "There's a bridge over there." She said, pointing it out.

"Does it look passable?"

"I think so." The young girl replied as she looked further to the right and saw a building, "There's a house too."

"How big is it?" Carlos asked.

"It's kinda small." Clementine responded, before looking more futher and several ski lifts. "There's lift or something."

"A chair lift? It must be that ski resort." Luke said, whilst looking at a map.

"I've never been skiing." The young girl said in a sadden tone.

"Beck and I went once." Alvin says, glancing at Rebecca.

"It wasn't pretty." His wife responded with a small smile, while resting on a log.

Clementine smiled at that, before looking futher up the mountain and saw a house, but this one was much larger. "There's another building."

"What does it look like?" Calista asked.

"It's big." Her charge replied.

"Sounds like a good place to spend the night then." Luke said, breathing a sigh of relief that they'll have a place to stay for the night.

Clementine hopped off the rock and joined up with the others as Carlos spoke up, "We have to cross that bridge. Let's go."

"Hold on now, Carlos. We can't all go sprinting across that, okay?" Luke says, "If we get spotted out there, we're gonna be trapped."

"Going around that lake will take too long." The doctor countered.

"You're right, but...look, we've got no Idea who's out there, ok? I'm gonna sneak across and make sure it's clear before we the whole group over." The younger man responds.

"You think splitting up the group is good idea?"

"I never said, It was a GOOD Idea." Luke says with a slight smirk, "But it's better than riskin' everyone at once."

"Me and Clem will come with you." Cal said.

Luke nodded at that her and said, "Right. Calista, Clem and I can scoot across low and slow and make sure nobody's waiting for us on the other side."

Carlos looked at Clementine, despite not knowing her for very long he felt his fatherly Instincts kick in over the younger girl's well being, he then at Luke and said, "Clementine should stay here. She's..."

"She's what?" Luke asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"She's just a little girl, Luke."

"She's a valuable little girl. Hell, If Clem can handle a few walkers by herself, then probaby do anything If she sets her mind to it." The young man retorts.

"I've seen Clementine handle herself pretty well, Carlos," Cal says, briefly smiling down at her charge, before glancing back at the doctor. "She'll be fine."

"I can do it." The eleven year old says determinedly.

"See, no problem." Luke said, sending a smile down at Clem, "We'll signal you guys in 10 minutes. Just watch for a light at the far side."

"I can go too." Nick says.

His best friend shook his head and says, "No, Nick, stay with the group."

"I'm fine, Luke." Nick says annoyed.

"No offense, bud, but I'd appreciate it If you stayed here and kept watch over everybody." Luke responded.

His friend grumbled something under his breath, before heading over to sit next to Alvin and Rebecca who were giving him worried looks.

"I don't like this plan." Carlos says.

"Yeah, well, when's the last time you liked anything, Carlos?" Luke says, gestering for Cal and Clementine to follow him.

"Thanks for coming with me." Luke says to Cal and Clementine as they were walking towards the bridge, "I would've took Nick, but I don't trust him enough to tie his own shoes right now, especially with what happened to Pete."

"What happened?" Clementine asked.

Luke sighed and said, "Nick and Pete found shelter in an old delivery truck, but Pete was bitten on the leg, so when we showed and found them, Nick had already put him down...he hasn't been the same since."

"He'll be okay, but it's not easy." The young girl says, feeling sorry for what Nick was going through.

"Tell me about it." Luke muttered as the trio found the crossing, but there were 2 walkers stumbling around the entrance. Luke pulled out his machete and Clementine pulled out a claw hammer, but Calista stopped them from advancing by putting her hand up. "I got those two." She said, leaving her M4 rifle behind and then she walked out into the open, getting both of the walkers' attention. Cal narrowed her eyes dangerously as they closed in on her. When one of them was close enough, the female Spartan reached out and grabbed it by the throat with one hand, easily holding it back and did the same with the other. Then she pulled both of them apart and slammed their heads together into a gory mess, killing them almost Instantly.

Coming out of their hiding spot, Luke and Clementine walked towards Cal and stopped beside her, "I'd hate to be on your bad side, Calista." The young man remarks, looking down at the mangled walkers and gringes in slight pity.

"Let's head across." Cal said, completely Ignoring Luke's remark as she and Clem started crossing the bridge, but not without any trouble as there was a group of about 5 walkers wondering around on it. The undead corpses must've smelled or seen them coming, because as soon as Cal, Clem and Luke approached, they headed in their direction.

"This one's mine." Luke said a little cocky, while unsleathing his machete as a walker stalked in his direction. Luke raised his blade to take a swing, but suddenly the wooden boards under his feet gave way and he fell through, along with the walker, letting out a cry of surprise and dropping his machete.

"Luke!" Clementin exclaimed, before she and Cal ran over to help him. Luke was barely hanging to a set of beams, along with having a walker trying to grab at him.

"Luke, are you okay?" Clementine asked.

"I'm fine, but I could seriously use some help here!" Luke said, before looking up and his eyes went wide, "Look out!" He shouted.

Both females looked up just as the other walkers approached. Using a trick Cal taught her, Clementine kicked one walker's knee out, knocking it down and then smashed her hammer into it's head, killing it. Another walker come forward and Calista kicked it in the chest, sending it flying off the side of the bridge and down into the river bellow, she then used Luke's machete to finish the last two by cutting off their heads clean off as Clementine grabbed a steel rod and threw it down to Luke, so he could use it to pulled himself up.

Once he was safe, Luke said through panted breaths, "Thanks, guys, that was a close one."

They nodded as Cal handed him back his machete, then the trio carried onward for a few minutes, before Calista stopped them by holding her hand out. "Someone's coming." She asked.

Luke and Clementine were confused at first, until they looked ahead and saw a man in a black hoodie approaching them. "Yeah, I see him." The eleven year old says.

"Do you think he's friendly?" Luke asked.

"I don't know. It's hard to tell and he does have a weapon. If he wanted too, he could've shot us right now, but he hasn't." Cal says, not taking her eyes off of the mystery man.

"If he is friendly, lets play it cool and you do the talking." Luke says, glancing at Clementine.

"What? Why me?" The young girl asked, nervously.

"Do you think he'd shoot a little girl?"

"I'd shoot me!" Clementine responds.

"Well, that's a really harsh thing to say." The young man says with a dry chuckle.

The stranger approaches slowly, only stopping several feet away from the trio and spoke up, "Well, who are you?"

"Who's asking?" Luke called back.

"I am."

"I'm Clementine and these are my friends; Calista and Luke." Clementine Introduced.

"Clementine, Calista and Luke." The unknown man said, before approaching the trio further and stopped right in front of them, "Huh, you don't look like assholes." He said, "Are you assholes? No offense or anything, but you know how it is out here."

"We're not assholes." Cal says, gestering to herself and Clementine.

"Oh, so I'm an asshole?" Luke asked, smiling a bit, before getting serious again.

The stranger laughs, before walking closer to the trio, "Are you folks heading north, like everybody else?" He asked, the man appeared to be of asian decent.

"Everybody else?"

"Yeah, I see a group or two pass through here once a week at least. You all look the same, It's like a great migration of the dazed and confused." The man explained.

"Did you know Carver?" Clementine asked.

"Carver? Like George Washington Carver? The Peanut guy?" The man asked, confused.

"He's a man."

The man shook his head, "No, I don't think so, but now I want some peanut butter though." He says, smiling. "I gotta say, you three look like shit. If you need food, I've got some canned stuff in that station back there."

"That's awfully generous of you. What's the catch?" Cal-141 asked, narrowing her eyes at the stranger.

"No catch. I've got plenty."

"Alright, then. Thank you." Luke said, giving the guy a smile.

"Hey, no problem. It's nice running into friendly faces out here. Like I said, I've got food and supplies back at the station and If you want..." The man said, before suddenly trailing off, looking behind the trio. "What the fuck, man?"

Luke, Calista and Clementine turned around and were surprised to see Nick running towards them. "What the hell's he doing?" Luke asked aloud.

The young man stopped, before aimming his rifle at the stranger, causing him to do the same. "Whoa, wait a minute! He's with us!" Luke tells him, before turning around and yelling at Nick, "Nick, no!"

"Nick, put it down!" Calista also yells out to the younger man.

"Don't shoot!" Clementine shouts, but it was already too late.

Cal quickly covers the eleven year old, like a shield, as a loud bang goes off and the trio looked up just in time to see the stranger, holding his neck as blood gushes out, before he falls off the side of the bridge and into the river down bellow. Luke stood up and marched angrily over to his friend, "Did I get him?" Nick asked, rushing over to them.

"I told you not to shoot!" His friend yells.

"What? Who was that guy?" Nick questioned, looking confused.

"Why didn't you wait for the signal?" Luke asked/demanded, Ignoring Nick's Inquiry.

"I thought you were in trouble." Nick said, getting angry and annoyed, "That guy had a gun what was I suppose to think?"

"He was going to help us." Clementine said somberly.

"How do you know?"

"He was offering us some of his food..." Luke tells him as he looks over the side of the bridge with a sad look, "...and now he can't."

"Well, from where I was standing, It looked like he had his gun aimed at you." The younger man grunts as Cal comes up to him and takes his rifle away from him.

"Until you can prove yourself stable enough to properly use a weapon, you're not getting this back." The female Spartan said, giving Nick a stern glare.

Nick said nothing in response, mostly out of fear of getting pummeled by the towering woman as the rest of the group caught up with them, "What's going on?" Carlos asked.

"Nick shot and killed a guy." Luke bluntly stated.

"Fuck you, Luke!" Nick says agitated, before walking ahead in a huff and away from the group.

"Was he with Carver?" Alvin asked.

"I don't know." Luke says, giving a glare at his friend's back, before turning back to the group. "He fell off the bridge, before we could even ask."

"He fell off, damn." Alvin says, shaking his head, clearly disappointed in Nick's actions.

"Let's just get to the other side everybody." Luke says, motioning for everyone to follow him.

The group made it across without another Incident, Clementine and Calista decided to checked the house out, while Luke and Carlos argued with Nick over his actions. The eleven year old looked through a window of the station and saw nothing, but a bed, an old chest and several empty cans laying on the floor.

"See anything in there?" Cal asked.

"Not much." Her charge replied as Calista opened the door carefully, pistol in hand in case of surprises. Seeing that it was all clear and safe, Cal gestured for Clementine to come in, then she headed over to the old chest to see what was in it. Cal used her knife to pop the lock off and opened it up. Inside was several more cans, but these were full ones.

"I guess he did have food." Alvin said, having come inside the station and saw what was in the chest.

"It appears so." Cal said, passing Alvin a couple of cans for Rebecca and getting a nod of thanks from him.

"He also had this knife." Clementine said, showing her guardian and Alvin a bowie knife that she found. The knife was about 12 Inches long with the letters 'WM' engraved on the handle.

Alvin shook his head and said, "Man, fuck, Nick. I understand, he's going through some real bad shit, but that's still no excuse for what he did. I mean haven't you ever known someone like that before?"

The female Spartan shook her head as Clementine said, "Actually, yeah."

"What happened?"

"A woman in my old group, her dad died and she just shot this other woman." The young girl answered as the memory of Lilly shooting Carley in cold blood passed through her mind.

"Damn, that's crazy." Alvin responded as he headed out to Rebecca, but stopped after looking at the one of the cans and chuckled, "She looks just like you." He says, showing Clementine the picture of a young girl with pigtails on the front of the can.

"She kind of does." Cal teased, causing the eleven year old to pout a little.

After a few minutes of resting, the group left the station and moved futher up the mountain towards the ski lodge as night had fallen. Luke, Carlos, Alvin were checking the place out to see If it was safe enough or not, while Rebecca and Sarah rest next each other on a bench by the entrance.

Meanwhile Clementine climbed one of the towers to see if anyone had followed from the bridge, once she had reached the top, she pulled out her binoculars again and looked out in the distance. "What do you see, Clem?" Cal asked.

The young girl glanced at her right and saw the bridge, "I can see the bridge from here..." She responded, but trailed off as some lights shinned through the darkness of night on the other side, It look like people with flashlights. "I think I see something, a light." Clementine says.

"Is it a person?" The female Spartan asked, already on alert.

"I don't know...It's too dark to tell." Her charge replied, feeling a little scared at the fact someone was following them.

Before Cal could respond, yelling and shouting could be heard coming from the ski lodge. The female Spartan looked over and saw the group arguing with another group of people that must've been staying at the lodge. "Come down, Clem, It looks like we have company." Cal said, keeping her Glock 17 in hand as Clementine quickly climbed down.

Once she was down, the duo made their way over as the shouting increased.

"Who are you? Are you trying to rob us?" A woman asked.

"Excuse me, honey, but do I look like a fucking thief?" Rebecca responded angrily.

"Everybody calm down and relax, we'll talk this out." A man said, trying to keep the peace between the groups.

"Tell your friend to calm down and lower his gun first." Alvin said, glaring at the new comers.

"Fuck that!" Another man spoke.

"Hey, cool It, man." Luke retorted.

When Calista and Clementine made up to the group, the young girl pushed her way through her friends and her eyes went wide when she saw a very famliar face among the new people. "Oh my God..."

To Be Continued...

*CLIFFHANGER!*

A/N: *It's unknown If Carver did rape Rebecca or not, but dialogue between the two of them suggests he may have seduced her. I'm incline to think the latter, because it's a really good possibilty, but seeing how truly evil and brutal that guy was It's open for debate. Several questions for you guys: Firstly, what do y'all think about Sarah learning how to shoot a gun and do you think it will come into use later on? Secondly, do you believe Clementine would be a capable Spartan in the Halo universe or not? Thirdly, like I said up above, I plan on making another TWD x Halo story in the future, but It'll be either about Kelly-087, Linda-058 or maybe even Sarah Palmer joining up with Rick's group and it'll be during Season 2. What do y'all think? Give me your best reasons and opinions on one of the 3 about who should join them. This was also by far my longest chapter ever, I hope I can make another big one soon.* Review, have a good day/night, God bless and peace out everybody. (:
