Without The Bite

Finding Hope

Lee's p.o.v.
-------

"Augh.. w-where am I?" I rubbed my head in confusion.
I slowly stood up and instantly thought of Clementine. What happened? Where is she?

I looked around every bush and tree, yelled her name time and time again. I then start to see a continuous path of tiny footprints. I follow them, they seem very frantic. To the left, turn, right, then spin and back. Sooner or later I find a river and decide to follow it. The footprints start off again and I go it their way. A little ways into the forest I see a dog's footprints are matching up with Clementine's. I worry, hoping it doesn't attack her. I mean what's the chances of it being nice, it's hungry, it has probably been abused by people/scared by walkers so it doesn't trust easily. As I continue I stop at this tiny camp. There's a a campfire, a camper and alot of other stuff. I heard footsteps and clemmys voice. I sat quietly behind a bush looking to see if she was okay, I didn't want to scare her or the dog that was following her. I see her grabbing a can, she had found a knife by killing a walker tied to a tree. I didn't see it.. wow. Just shows that maybe I'm not as safe as I think I am. She opens it and began eating. I didn't want to come out because I didn't want her to feel a need to share. But she did.. not with me but the dog.

The dog began to growl, it wanted more, it jumped at her arm. And I heard such sad scared screaming. I jumped through the bush running to help her.

"Clem! Sweetpea!! I'll save you don't worry." I yelled

I ran as fast as I could even though it felt like forever.

The dog is over clem and is biting, twisting it's head left and right on her arm. I grab the dog from the back and throw him behind me. I heard a
"Lee!!" Clem squealed with joy. She jumped up to hug me as she seemed to forget, but is now remembering the pain from the bite. She stops and looks down.

I hug her lightly making sure I don't touch her arm. "It's okay Clem. I missed you."

"I missed you too." A loud wine comes from behind.

"Lee, the dog."

I turn around and see the god laying on its side, with metal stocks through its body. It shakes in pain.
"Clem honey.. it's kind of like how we had to deal with Duck."
"How?"
"Well.. duck was infected, hurting. Alot.. and this dog it's hurting alot. I had to kill Duck because he was in so much pain, so then he didn't feel pain after. I don't want this dog to suffer more than he has too. Do you understand what we.. well I have to do?"

"Yeah.."

"Okay.. you can look away."

She turns and I stick the knife towards the heart of the dog.

I stand up and I grab her non injured hand. "Okay, keep any dirt, any thing off the bite okay? We don't want an infection."

We start to walk off another path. I hope we find people with medical supplies.
