"We're friends now." Said Sarah, as Clementine frowned at her.

"Okay." Said Clementine, impassively, making Sarah's smile drop a bit.

Carlos in the doorway brought Clementine's attention away from Sarah, "Clementine, we need to talk."

Clementine nodded, before getting up and following Carlos downstairs, leaving Sarah alone in her room. Shrugging to herself, Sarah picked up her book and continued reading. She heard Rebecca, her dad and Nick saying that Clementine should go, while the others remained silent.

They agreed to let Clementine stay for the night, but that she had to be gone in the morning. Soon afterwards, Sarah heard everyone, except her dad and Luke, head to their bedrooms. Deciding to read her book again tomorrow, Sarah marked the page and went to sleep, unaware she was going to wake up to a nightmare.

Clementine glared at Rebecca, the pregnant woman had been unreasonably hostile ever since she arrived at the cabin. Gripping the kitchen knife she'd taken, Clementine snuck into Rebecca and Alvin's room. A sick smile on the girl's face, she plunged the knife into Rebecca's belly, then she drove it into Rebecca's throat. Moving around the bed, Clementine arrived at Alvin's side, surprised that the man hadn't woken up. Slitting the man's throat, Clementine watched as blood spilled over the floor. Sighing, the girl slipped out of the room.

Spotting Pete sitting with his back to her, Clementine smirked and tightened her grip on Clementine crept up to him. Noticing Nick asleep on the bed, Clementine's smirk widened, before she drove the knife into Pete's back, making the man gasp and start choking on his own blood. Clementine didn't pay him any mind, pulling the knife out of his back, she moved over to the bed and drove the knife through Nick's throat.

Sighing, Clementine decided to head downstairs, now she had two choices; get rid of Luke, who was on guard duty, or deal with Carlos, who was sitting with his back to her in the kitchen. Deciding to avoid anyone raising the alarm, Clementine walked up behind Carlos and stabbed him in the back, taking Carlos's gun. Deciding that she no longer needed to sneak around, Clementine aimed Carlos's gun at Luke's back, and fired.

Clementine heard someone behind her, assuming it was the reanimated dead she'd left behind, she turned, only to find Sarah staring at her.

"C-Clementine?" Whimpered Sarah, "W-what are you doing?"

Clementine gave Sarah a sick smile, "Doing what I want."

Clementine started walking towards her, "Don't worry." She cooed, "I'm not going to hurt you. We're friends, remember?"

Sarah looked around, blood was everywhere, Clementine was covered in it, she was holding a gun and a knife with a disturbing smile plastered on her face. Sarah did the only thing she could think of doing; she screamed.

And felt a sting of pain from someone slapping her. Sarah bolted into a sitting position and looked around. She didn't know where she was, then it hit her, it was a nightmare. They'd left the cabin, Pete had been got by the Lurker, they'd been captured by Carver, Carver killed Alvin, they'd escaped, her dad had died, Nick died, Rebecca had her baby. Clementine had saved her, twice.

"You okay?" Asked Bonnie, getting a small nod from Sarah.

Clementine was curled up next to Rebecca, who didn't look too good, and Rebecca's baby. Taking a few more deep breaths, Sarah looked around, counting their group. Luke, Kenny, Mike, Rebecca, Bonnie, Mike. Looking around, Sarah realised that she couldn't see Jane. Clementine let out a sleepy hum, before sitting up.

Blinking sleep from her eyes, Clementine looked around, "I heard yelling."

"Sarah had a nightmare, Clem," Said Bonnie, "go back to sleep."

Clementine sleepily nodded and returned to her curled-up position next to Rebecca.

"You better get some more sleep too, Sarah." Said Bonnie, "We got a long walk ahead of us tomorrow."

Sarah nodded, reluctantly going back to sleep.

Rebecca was dead. They'd moved too soon. She'd sat down for a rest when some Russians had turned up, she'd died and none of them noticed. No, Sarah shook her head, Clementine noticed, she'd spotted Rebecca turning and put her down. There'd been a firefight, Luke was shot in the leg and three of the Russian's were killed and Jane had come back.

Kenny wanted to kill the Russian, while Clementine made sure the baby was okay, the Russian mentioned a house and supplies, so they had him lead them to the house. They got to a power station that was halfway between the house and where they met the Russian. They'd started a fire and Clementine got Jane to come to the fire, having a swig of a bottle of alcohol that Bonnie had taken from Carver's community, and got Kenny to bring the baby, Alvin Jr, to the fire so they could be warm.

"You okay, Sarah?" Asked Luke, looking at the girl, "You ain't said much."

"Everyone's dead." Said Sarah, quietly, "Pete, Alvin, my Dad, Nick, Rebecca. They're gone."

Luke sighed, glancing at Clementine, "Yeah, things have got really bad."

"You still have Luke." Said Clementine, "And me, and AJ."

Sarah frowned, "How do you do it?"

"Do what?" Asked Clementine, frowning.

"You said you've seen your friends die." Said Sarah, slowly, "How do you deal with it?"

Clementine paused, "I guess I keep it to myself until I'm somewhere safe."

"I am not looking forward to witnessing that." Muttered Bonnie, as Mike went to check on the Russian.

They'd walked until they approached a frozen lake, Clementine killed a Walker which inadvertently summoned a herd. Sarah ended up going ahead with Kenny, Mike, AJ and the Russian. She heard Luke and Clementine yelling about Walkers, and Luke yell out in pain. Sarah turned and looked in their direction, Bonnie was picking off Walkers with Jane, while Luke skidded across the ice and Clementine fell through the ice.

Sarah felt her throat close up, as Jane ran up to the edge of the hole left behind by Clementine. The woman plunged her hands under the water, she searched the water, before she hauled the girl out of the water. The three adults ran towards the shore, making Sarah look ahead of her, where she saw Kenny pinning the Russian down, while Mike held AJ. Jane shot past her, with Bonnie and Luke not far behind.

When she entered the house, Sarah saw Jane frantically trying to light a fire, while Bonnie was giving Clementine CPR.

"What the hell happened?" Demanded Mike, as Luke winced and moved his leg.

"Clem saw the ice was cracking and shoved me." Said Luke, "She breathed in water, she's… fuck, I don't know."

There was a strangled gasped, followed by someone heaving. Clementine blearily looked around, before coughing up a load of water and passing out. Sarah felt herself calm down, as Jane shifted the soaked girl so she was next to the fire.

They'd stayed in the house, Kenny opting to fix a truck in the morning. Sarah had woken up in the night and found the Russian guy straddling Clementine's chest, trying to kill her. Spotting Clementine's gun, Sarah grabbed it and, remembering what Clementine told her, pulled the trigger. The Russian's head jerked to the side, before he toppled over. Almost immediately, AJ started crying and everyone bolted up right, while Clementine coughed.

"What the hell?!" Luke looked around, "Sarah, what did you do?"

"Ar—" Clementine let out a throaty cough, "Arvo, was trying to kill me."

Luke froze, before looking at Clementine, as the girl breathed heavily and slowly got to her feet.

"I'm…" Clementine blinked and shook her head, "I'm gonna go outside."

"Why?" Asked Luke, as Clementine gagged.

"Cos I'm gonna throw up." Struggled Clementine, before she bolted for the door. They heard Clementine retching and coughing, before the girl slowly limped back inside, "I'm okay now."

Kenny let out a sigh, before grabbing Arvo's corpse and dragged it outside. Coming back inside, Kenny told everyone to get some sleep.

When Sarah next woke up, Clementine and Kenny had gotten the truck working, the plan was to go back to Howe's and raid their supplies, before going on to Wellington. Soon, Sarah found herself next to Clementine and AJ, with Bonnie, Mike and Jane all cramped together. Sarah didn't feel safe around Jane, not after the woman had tried to abandon her twice, and Luke seemed to be keen on her, he abandoned her too, Sarah remembered, he'd been the first to leave after Jane and Clementine arrived. Sarah didn't know if she could trust Bonnie, and she didn't know Mike. She didn't know Kenny either, but Clementine did, and Sarah knew Clementine, so if Clementine trusted Kenny, so did Sarah. Deciding that, should it come to it, if the group had to split up, she'd go with Clementine and Kenny. Sarah was brought out of her thoughts by a foul smell and a wailing baby.

Sarah wasn't sure she liked babies.
