The Man Who Found Me (TWDG SEASON 1 REWRITE

Episode 1

(On Wattpad, I have chosen the song "Gun in my hand" for a song to listen to while reading this. If you are on A03, just look the song up :D )

Spring break has been boring. Mom and Dad went on vacation without me! Can you believe that? Out of all the times to go on a vacation, why spring break? They could have taken me with them...Dad let me borrow his hat though, so I guess that's sort of cool. 

The sound of crickets chirping outside distracts me from my thoughts. They are loud. I saw this big cricket one time, it was gross.

Sandra left the treehouse a little bit ago to get us some snacks, we haven't eaten since last night's dinner time. 

Last night was weird....

I was in bed when while Sandra was downstairs listening to the TV, it was really really loud. Then this alarm thingy went off and wouldn't let me sleep. I went to investigate it like a little detective and saw Sandra sitting on the couch, a worried look on her face.

The news was on... Usually I'd find it annoying but this time, for whatever reason, I was frightened. 

I sat down next to Sandra on the couch but she immediately spoke.

"What are you doing up Clem?" She asked.

"What's happening? " I asked worriedly. 

The tv blared a loud warning.

'SEEK SHELTER. LOCK YOUR DOORS. AVOID ANYONE YOU SUSPECT TO BE INFECTED.' 

The tv repeated the same phrase over and over again. There was a black bar at the top of the screen that showed the words too... Atleast I think so. They moved so fast across that I'm not sure if it was the same words. I'm not a good reader yet... Mom says I'll get it figured out soon though!

The screen showed really gross pictures of dead guys. I immediately looked away from them once I realized what they were.

"There's a uhm...Flood! There's a flood happening so we need to find somewhere really safe, okay?" Sandra asked. I nodded.

She then lead me to my treehouse and we've been there since.

...

Sandra hasn't came back yet... Maybe I should check on her?

...

But it's scary out... But what if she needs me?

I sigh  and open the treehouse door. I quickly climb down and look at the glass door... It's broken... Why'd she break it?

"Sandra?" I ask loudly. I hear a massive thud and a scream. Fear runs through my body and I freeze.

"Clementine Run!" She exclaims. Without hesitation I run down the stairs, falling onto the cement. I immediately get back up and get to the treehouse ladder. I climb up and go through the door. I sit down shakily at the tiny chair in the corner and look through the window. I see Sandra in the kitchen, her head is bloody. Something chases after her before bringing her to the ground. I hear another loud shriek come from her...

...

I stared out the window, bewildered at what had just happened... Is she... Is she dead?

I cover my ears as sounds shouts come from her. She's not dead, atleast not yet anyway. I look away from the window and shut my eyes, trying to keep tears from forming. It's alright...she's alright. Please be okay.

...

It was only after that first day that I had learned what had happened. My tummy rumbles loudly... I need food soon, water too. I don't wanna go down though, what if the monsters get me?
