Thanks to gaara king of the sand for the help.

Clementine felt pain course through her body. It took a moment for her to realize what had happened. She had been shot! Arvo had shot her!

She took a few stumbles back. She looked to see a small sea of crimson quickly forming through her coat.

The world suddenly began to spin and darken. She felt herself began to fall. She heard her own body hit the ground with a thud.

Bonnie raced towards the young girl and Clementine could hear her desperately apologizing.

Clementine felt her breathing grew harsh, her eyes hazy.

She could hear Kenny's voice, shouting her name.

Then everything went black.

Clementine's eyes snapped open. She was in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar room.

She gasped in pain, trying to reach a hand to her shoulder, but found herself unable to.

She tried to force her small body into sitting position, but it was impossible.

She was restrained, strapped down to the bed. She quickly realized she was hooked to various machines. Some kind of headset was on her head. She was hooked to an IV as well.

She had no idea where she was, but the room looked similar to a hospital room.

Her clothes were different, but she could still feel the pain of the gunshot wound, and see blood seeping through the nightgown she was now wearing. Meaning whoever changed her clothes had not treated her wound.

The child started trying to break free from her restraints, ignoring the pain in her shoulder.

Her head was foggy, as if she'd been sleeping forever. She felt as if she had been drugged or something.

Clementine struggled more, biting at her restraints. She managed to loosen and free herself after several moments of struggle. Just as she freed herself and forced herself to sit up, the door opened.

Clementine froze, hand hovering over the IV needle in her arm, ready to yank it out.

A man entered the room, wearing a white lab coat.

"Well, well... Look who's awake." The man said, looking surprised.

Clementine glanced at the man with a confused look.

"You shouldn't be up yet, sweetie." The man said, walking over to the machines located across from her bed. He checked the machines for a moment. Clementine took the opportunity to yank the IV from her arm.

She heard the man let out a hum. "You are not supposed to be awake."

Clementine didn't say a word.

The man turned and started making his way toward her, "We'll take care of that right now."

Clementine's eyes fell on a syringe that the man was holding in his hand.

The girl tried to move back as the man got closer towards.

"Relax. I'm not going to hurt you." The man said. "This is going to help you sleep."

Clementine's mind was yelling at her not to let the man get too close.

Once the man got close enough, he stopped for a moment. His eyes widened upon seeing the blood on her nightgown. "What the hell happened?"

The child knocked the needle from his hand. It fell a few feet away.

"Damn brat..." The man pinned her to the bed.

Clementine started struggling.

She managed to free one of her arms and used it to reach into the man's pocket. She felt a cold metallic object against her little hand.

The child yanked it from the man's pocket and she jabbed the scalpel deep into the juncture where his neck met his shoulder.

Blood spurted from the wound as the man yelled out.

He released her from his grip, bringing his to his neck trying to stop the bleed.

Clementine moved from the bed and made her way to the door. She didn't notice the injured man crawling towards a machine.

However, she did glance back, just as a sudden alarm began to blare out.

Clementine shuddered a bit. She was sure she had just killed that man.

She walked from the room without a glance back. As she heard the alarm ring loudly, she broke into a run. Her heart was pounding in her chest.

She could hear people running around, alerted by the sound of the alarm. She heard someone exclaim, "The girl's getting away!"
She knew that girl was her.

Suddenly she saw two men, they spotted her and started chasing after the child.

Clementine sped up.

If there was anything worse than the walkers, it was people. People were capable of anything, and there was no telling what their intentions were.

She couldn't let them catch her. She would be done if that happened.

She ran blindly through the unknown building, several men's scream following her.

She tried her best to keep herself from sobbing.

Finally, she saw light and burst coming from a door, she ran through and was outside.

She tripped and one of the men caught up with her, before he could get too close the child yelled out, "STOP!"

He froze, his eyes nervously looking back and forth.

"What are you doing?" The second man yelled, "Grab her."

"I c-can't move." The first man said.

Clementine scrambled to her feet.

"She must've done something..." The second man said, realizing he couldn't take a step towards the girl either.

Clementine turned and ran off. She kept running, despite the pain throbbing in her shoulder.

She had no clue where she was, but that didn't stop her.

She ran block after block, until she felt that she was a safe distance away.

Clementine was losing blood fast and she was completely unfamiliar with her surrounds. She knew she had to be quiet, or she'd risk attracting walkers. She needed to find Kenny or Jane... They hadn't left her, had they?

How had she ended up in that place? What had happened? She had so many questions and no answers.

The child continued walking down an empty sidewalk. She was sure she was far enough away that those strangers wouldn't find her. She wondered what they had wanted with her in the first place.

Clementine swayed under a bout of sudden dizziness. She stumbled forward.

The girl quickly tried to regain her footing, but found each step becoming nothing more than a stumble. It wasn't long before she had lost her balance. She fell to the ground, having exhausted what little energy she had. And moments later, she had passed out.

When she woke up again her whole body was aching. The next morning had come, although by now it was late afternoon.

She wandered aimlessly around for hours. Sometimes she would pause for a while, having forgot what she was doing, but then she would remember and continue walking.

The girl was pulled out of her thoughts as a man approached her. He looked worried, "Little girl, are you okay? Do you need any help?"

"H-Help?" Clementine repeated. The first word she had said, all day.

"I can help you. You need to go to the hospital or something?"

Clementine frowned. Hospitals didn't exist anymore. Not since the walkers.

"You're bleeding." The man said. "What happened?"

Clementine didn't respond.

"Here..." The man reached out to grab her. "I'll help you-"

"NO!" Clementine shouted as his normal face shifted into the vicious features of a walker. "NO!"

The child turned a ran off, the man called after her, but the girl ignored him.

She spent the next few hours wandering the streets. Night had fallen and it was raining, hard.

Clementine was soaked with the rain water, but she kept walking. Her feet, which wear bare, were freezing cold, but she pushed on.

Her balance was shaky, and the girl tripped, falling into a mud puddle. The child stood, brushing mud off with a disgusted look on her face.

She continued walking, down the road. Each time she would stumble or trip, she would get up again and keep going.

The girl was unfazed by the sudden headlights shining in her direction. She watched as a truck approached, stopping just feet away from her.

The people seemed to be panicking.

She rubbed her eyes from the bright lights, but stayed put.

The truck door opened and a man got out, slowly approaching her. The child's eyes widened, her lips trembling as she spoke in a mumble, "K-Kenny?"
