~3 Months since Clementine got shot~

"I'm trying my fuckin best" Tyler snapped as he pulled out his lighter

"Try harder" Theresa snapped at him "None of us have ate in days"

"I know" Tyler said back to her "Maybe if you would get off your ass and looked for some wood that wasn't wet or covered in mud we actually be able to cook the damn thing"

"Oh right cause its my fuckin fault that your lazy ass can't..."

I zoned out Theresa and Tyler's fight as I walked through the woods, I was shivering in the cold, It was 46 degrees.

Tyler had sent Pierce and I to look for and dry wood we could use for a fire, we needed it so we could cook a deer we'd killed.

After I got shot Tyler nursed me back to health, it turns out I had also had a mild concussion. We stayed at the prison for two weeks, until Tyler said It would okay for me to kill walkers again.

After that we just wondered for a while, we slept where we could and ate whatever we found. It was just us, we never ran into anyone but walkers. That was until about three weeks ago, when we were going through this gas station. We ran into four people who had been living there, Theresa, Pierce, Oscar and Jim.

They went crazy and tried to shoot us, claiming some guy named Negan sent us to get them. After a day or two we were finally able to convince them that we had no clue who that guy was.

We all stayed together after that, we decided it would be smart to head up north, we figured the cold would slow the walkers down.

It was good for the first week, everyone was nice and we helped each other survive. But then Oscar, Theresa's boyfriend got bit.

After he was gone Theresa turned into a bitch, I mean that's understandable seeing how her boyfriend just died, but she'll just go off on someone for the smallest thing.

"Find anything?" Pierce asked interrupting my thought

"No" I replied "You?"

"Nah" He said "We should split up, You go left, I'll go right" He said "Meet up at the campsite in five"

"Ok" I said as I watched him turn right

I didn't like this plan one bit, it was dark and cold outside, and neither of us had a compass so we could get lost out here very easily.

I started walking right with my flashlight and pocket knife out, I was on edge, a little scared of what could possibly come out of nowhere and try to kill me.

I knew Pierce didn't like me, and neither did Theresa but sticking together was a lot more safer in a situation like this.

After a minute or two of walking I gave up and headed back to the campsite, when I got there Pierce was sitting by the fire with Jim, Theresa and trying to cook the deer and Tyler was sitting by a log shivering.

"You got a fire going?" I asked as soon as I got back

"Yeah" Theresa snapped "Maybe if you'd stop messing around in the woods you would've been able to do something useful for once"

"Clem ignore her" Tyler said as he nodded for me to sit next to him

"What a bitch" I said as I sat down by Tyler

"You've dealt with people worse than her" Tyler said referring to Sasha and my kidnapper "But you should go easy on her"

"I don't get it" I said "Why are you defending her?"

"Because Clem, we're out here in the middle of nowhere" Tyler began "Shes pry just scared"

Tyler was keeping something from me, I could sense it when he stopped making eye contact throughout his sentence.

I sighed as I looked over at Theresa, she had red hair and freckles. She looked nothing like her younger brother Pierce, he had blonde hair, was way taller than her for his age.

Theresa said she was eighteen, Pierce said he was fourteen. Jim on the other hand, who was Oscar's brother, was twenty seven.

"Who do you think Negan is?" I asked Tyler

"No clue" Said Tyler "Probably an asshole like the Governor"

I sighed again, the thought of having to deal with another Governor again terrified me.

"So I say we get an early start tomorrow and follow the train tracks right outside the woods" Tyler said as he stood up to tell the whole group

"Uh no" Said Jim as he too stood up to face Tyler "We need to stay in the woods, we don't know who's out there"

"Well we need to know where we're going" Tyler began "The train tracks are our best option unless anyone here has a compass"

"I'm the oldest so I'm in charge" Said Jim "So we're staying in the woods"

"The woods are more dangerous" Said Tyler "Anyone could come out from anywhere and hurt us, It's all about safety, right Theresa?"

I looked over at Theresa and she looked a little shocked that Tyler brought her up.

"I'd rather follow Jim than some kid" Theresa snapped

"Wow really?" Said Tyler "I thought you would wanna hang out more with Clementine and I, you know us kids, so you'd be prepared for your own"

Wait what? Did Tyler just say what I think he said? Was Theresa Pregnant?

"The hell is he talking about?" Jim asked Theresa

"I-I don't know" Theresa responded as she stood up

"Don't lie" Tyler said "I saw the test back as the gas station"

"Theresa is it true?" Jim asked as he started to freak out

I stood up as everyone started arguing. They were arguing about whether or not Theresa was actually pregnant, and what we were going to do if she was.

I got so distracted in their argument I didn't hear the footsteps behind me.

"Well well well what do we have here?" A guy asked as he grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him

Everyone immediately turned around saw him

"Clementi-" Tyler yelled as he pulled out his gun

"Drop it sonny" Said another man who had come out of the woods holding a shotgun and aiming it at Tyler

Tyler stopped right as more and more men emerged from the woods. We were surrounded.

"Don't try anything missy" Said the guy who had held my arm

I looked over to where I was sitting and saw my gun. Shit. I still had my pocket knife and flashlight on me, I've done unspeakable thing to walkers with my flashlight before and I'm willing to do it again.

"Well If it isn't dear old Theresa and little Pierce" Said a man with a pistol as he walked towards them

"Dwight" Said Theresa as she stood in front of Pierce "It's been a while"
