Clementines POV.
Blood. I was covered In it. None of it was even mine. Most of it was walkers from when Lee and I went through the crowd, and the rest of it was Lees... I- I shot him. He got bit. He got bit because I was stupid and ran away. I can't believe it. I killed him. I killed him and my kidnapper. I'm a murderer.

I sat on the tree log and cried my eyes out. I had no idea what to do. Lee had told me to go and find Christa and Omid but I only had a few bullets left and I didn't know how far that would get me. I was completely screwed.

"How much food do we have left?"

I looked up and saw there were two guys walking along the field. Not that far from me, I quickly got up and hid behind the log. I cocked my gun just incase this went south.

"Hello?" Said a voice behind the log

Shit. They saw me.

"We're not going to hurt you" The voice said again

"Go away" I said

I was shaking so bad, I didn't want hurt anyone else.

"Look we don't want any trouble" Said the guy "We just wanted to make sure you were okay"

I heard footsteps getting closer to me, I quickly stood up and pointed my gun at them.

"I said go away"

One of the guys had a crossbow and was wearing a sleeveless shirt. The other guy was wearing a button up shirt and had a gun in his holster.

The guy who had the gun quickly put his hands up and stepped backwards.

"We don't wanna hurt you" he said "We just wanted to see if you were okay"

"I-I'm fine" I said still holding my gun at them. I was hoping they wouldn't be able to see the gun shaking in my hand

They seemed nervous. I mean who wouldn't be, a little girl covered in blood holding a gun at them, I probably look like a physco path. But they didn't seem threatened.

"Is that your blood?" Asked the guy with the crossbow

"No" I said

Crossbow guy glared at the gun guy.

"Where's your group?" Asked the gun guy

"They're... They're dead" I said looking at the ground trying not to cry

We sat there for a few seconds in silence.

"Listen" said the gun guy "I'm Rick and this is Daryl, we run a community in a prison not far from here. We have plenty of food and water. We can make room for you if your willing to come with us"

I slowly put my gun down and looked at him.

"How do I know your not lying?" I asked

"Well I guess your just going to have to trust us on that one" Rick said "you can keep your gun on you the whole way there."

What would Lee do? I kept thinking that over and over in my head.

Screw it.
