BENS P.O.V

We lowered are weapons in sync, watching. Watching the slow, weak, obeying, sister of Clementines. Sam. She still had her harness on, so she was under there control. They know what you still have feelings and thoughts, just no memories or control of what you say or do. I hate these things. I think Matt was the only one I saw raise there gun back at the fish head like how I asked him to. His movements, slow and steady, finger on trigger, and anger in his eyes. Matt is the only person I think cares more about Clementine then I do.

"For this child, give us Clementine." Karen said in a tone that made me want to believe she was normal, But she wasn't. Hal would occasionally talk himself out of going to get Karen back. Wait, Clementine is dead.

"Shut up! She's dead!" Matt screams with a quiver in his voice. I look over at him, expecting him to be bawling. He's not one tear slid down the cliff of his cheek bone. Just one. This world is hell on earth for taking away his childhood.

"No, you buried a clone. The skitter we sent to get her didn't return, so she has to be with you." Karen said turning her head sideways in confusion.

"Well she's not." I screamed.

"Okay, we'll take this then she's useless to us now." Karen said shoving Sam to her knees. Karen grabbed a gun a skitter had on its creepy back. She loaded one bullet and shot the harness on Sam's back causing her to scream a human scream in pain and fall to the ground. The next thing I knew was Karen and her group was gone.

CLEMS P.O.V

So apparently I'm supposed to go with skitters to find the 2nd mass. This harness is so much more different than the regular ones. This one doesn't feel like it could fail at any moment. Walking down to where a skitter feels Ben I try to resist the urge to pull out a skitter knife. It holds the same poison the skitters do. I can't fight the power. The next thing I know is Im Getting a message from Ben through my spikes. "I can feel where your at. We have your sister Sam. She will be okay, but Clem. I miss you." A lump in my chest start to form when I get that message. Arriving at our destination I see Ben, Matt, Hal, weaver, and unconscious Sam. A skitter screeches alerting everyone of there presence. I looked around with out moving my head. I could move my eyes. I saw, Matt with a sniper, Hal pointing a gun at me, Ben over SAMs body and Sam on the ground not moving, with Weaver pointing a gun at the skitter next to me. "Hello, nice to see you guys again." I say having no control.

"Clementine?" Ben says looking at me with confusion, hatred, and fear.

"Yes, it's me, I'm not dead." I say just like Karen had before. I saw Ben whisper something to Matt. I have no idea what it was but I think I'm about to find out. I took a step forward saying things that don't make sense in my ears.

"Get back!" I heard Hal yell as he stood up with his gun still aimed at me. I looked around and realized I was only a few feet away from Ben, I really wish I has control of my legs.

A blood curtailing scream escaped my lips as I feel to my knees. Ben shot the harness and now the skitters are after the second mass. I regained control of my upper body took out the skitter knife and stabbed one of the skitters in the mouth. It died instantly from the poison. When the skitters were dead Ben ran over to me. I passed out as soon as I was in a truck with my sister and Ben.

BACK TO BENS P.O.V.

She's not dead, kept replaying in my head once she was in the truck. I was going to find out exactly what happened but she was asleep. I didn't bother to wake her. She needed to rest. Looking over my shoulder I could tell something was different about Clementine. Her hair was blonde instead of brunet and she had blue underneath, her long hair became shoulder length and kind of choppy. I think the skitter was trying to hide her with different hair. It didn't work. I will never forget her baby blue eyes. We arrived at camp and Hal carried Sam and I carried Clementine to Dr.Glass. She took the rest of the harness off and told us they will be fine and when they wake up they can move. Sam was probably around matts age so he offered to show her around when she woke up. About an hour after they woke up.

"Hey Clementine." I said softly has he fluttered her eyelashes open.

"I told you to call me Clem." She said smiling.

"I like your full name." I said smiling like an idiot, I soon kissed her forehead after. I asked what happened to her hair and she said that it effected her like that.

"I know it looks horrible." She said sadly.

"Shut up, you look just as beautiful as before. Maybe even a little more now." I said grabbing her hand. Hal entered the room in a hurry rushing over to me and pulling me out of the room. "I don't trust her."

"Why? She's just like me Hal."

"But Ben she had the same harness on as Karen and I don't trust Karen with anything. Your not gonna like this Ben she-"

"Hal she's not leaving I-"

"Let me finish what I was gonna say. We're locking her up in one of the jails we have downstairs." My eyes blew up with hatred and betrayal in them.

"No! Just let me show you she's fine!"

"You have one week." Hal said storming away. I turned around to see Clem leaning up against a car crying. I rushed over to her asking what was wrong. She said that she got up and walked around the camp. Everyone was giving her weird looks and jokes. "Im so tired" she said rubbing her eyes. I took her to my room but she refused to sleep indorse. So I took her to the roof and laid next to her and fell asleep shortly after. Awaking to the sound of skitters and mechs.
