Dead Inside (Walking Dead/ my version)

Chapter 10

"C'mon we gotta keep going." I told Clem. She was tired, but so was I. It's been days since we lost the group.

"How much longer will we have to walk?" She asked.

"I don't know, but we'll be okay. I promise." Clem sighed and smiled lightly.

I looked around and saw a wide space we could rest for a bit. Two logs sat next to each other.

"Let's rest for a bit."

"Okay." The excitement and relief shined in her voice.

We sat down in silence. No one talked until Clem broke the silence.

"I miss Lee."

"Who's Lee?"

"He's the one who found me. He took care of me and cut my hair."

"He died, didnt he?" I asked, immediately wanting to take it back. Clem looked at the ground with a sad expression.

"Yea. He got bit, so I shot. Everyone else died too. Afterwards, I was with a couple, but they were both shot by someone who tried to steal my backpack. I'm alone now." Small tears formed in her eyes.

"No, no your not." I grabbed her hand and smiled. She smiled back and hugged me.

"Ouch!" She went back and looked at her arm. I had forgotten. The cut was looking more infected. Atleast now I know she's not bit or she would've turned by now.

"We gotta find something to disinfect your cut." Just saying it sounded unrealistic. We were in the middle of the woods with no medicine or food.

Clem's face grew scared. I looked back to see creepers coming toward us. I digged my knife into it's head and grabbed Clem.

"We gotta go. Now!"  She got up, but fell after running for a bit. I touched her forehead. It was sweaty and hot. How was she able to survive for so long?

"Hey look!" That was a man's voice?

"Help!" Walkers surrounded us. I grabbed Clem and carried her princess style. I dodged the creepers, but they were starting to catch up.

One fell on me and I used my foot to keep it off. If only I could reach my knife... In that moment a gun shot went through its head.

"Let's go!" The man was sorta handsome and wore a orange shirt. He grabbed Clem from me, while another guy helped me up. We ran towards a house and stopped once we saw the we were clear.

"What happened?" Another man came out, along with some others.

"She's bit!" I the guy throw Clem to the ground.

"What the hell?! Is this how you treat the injured?!" I ran to Clem and picked her up.

"I'm not bit." Clem said.

"Carlos, what do we do?" The orange shirt guy said.

Carlos looked at us. "Put them in the storage room. If she is bit, she won't last the night and will turn by morning."

"You can't be seriuos! She's not bit! She won't last the night!" I pleaded. Their decision didnt change.

They locked us in the small storage room. Clem fell unconscious and was holding onto dear life. I had to get what she needed, wether they give them to me or not.

I waited a few moments until I could be sure they were gone.

I looked around the small room to see if there was anything I could use. There were only a few scattered pieces of junk and rusty tools.

Looking down, I noticed a crumbling board about to give out. I kicked it as hard as I could, but it just wouldn't budge. I remembered seeing a rusted tool on a high shelf.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Clem. She groaned in pain and I felt daggers go through my heart.

"Don't worry," I grabbed her hand. "You'll be fine. I promise." I got up and  jumped up, trying to get the tool. Instead, it only made the shelf fall and the tool hit the side of my head.

I felt the world around me go dark.

Dun dun duuunn! More characters from the video game! So I will be mixing these two universes together a bit. I'd like to think this story is a different universe from the video game and tv show where both characters just mix together. Warning that the time line will be changed a bit, but I will try to keep things in order as much as I can.

Thanks for the support! If you enjoyed this chapter please like, comment, and follow! Love you all!
