XDIE Legends : The Walking Dead's Last Jedi

Chapter 19 : A Dog's Bite

Many years ago (The Walking Dead Season 2 Timeline)

"Hold still ok" I said to Clementine. "I've used this stuff in the past. It's gonna sting"

We were in an old shed. I was in the process of cleaning Clementine's arm from a nasty dog bite. Early today, we encountered a dog and when Clementine tried to feed it, it attacked her. I was able to get it off and scare it away but it hurt her pretty badly.

I gently pored some of the alcohol on her arm. The moment it made contact, she was crying in pain. The cut was pretty deep. "We're almost done. Let me stitch it up" I said.

I grabbed the needle and thread and prepared it. I gently grabbed Clementine's arm and raised the needle to it. "This might hurt ok" I said.

She shook her head and looked away. I then pierced her skin with the needle and began to stitch up her arm. Clementine was screaming each time the needle punctured her skin.

"I've almost... there. You're all patched up" I said. I put the lid back on the container of rubbing alcohol.

"Thank you Locke" said Clementine. I smiled and put my hand on her shoulder. "You're welcome little one" I said.

My attention was soon caught by a walker attempting to break in the shed. It was crawling through the hole we had made to get out. "Shit" I said.

I grabbed my lightsaber and aimed it at the walker's head. I pulled the trigger and shot it. The walker was dead, lieing motionless on the ground.

"That was close" I said. "Too close for my liking" Clementine replied. I grabbed her and pulled her into a hug to comfort her. The door to the shed suddenly opened, revealing Luke, Nick and the others who had locked us in here.

"Holly shit" said Luke. I let go of Clementine and looked at the others. "How the hell did it get in here" asked Nick. I knew telling the exact truth wouldn't help so... I attempted to shift the blame.

"You left us out here to die" I said. "That thing managed to break in here and could of hurt us... or worse"

Luke looked at Clementine's arm. "You patched yourself up"

"Where did you get that" asked Nick. He appeared angry but there was no way he was going to make us the bad guys. "You left us no choice. She was bleeding, she needed medical help. Something that clearly no one would offer" I said.

"We thought she was bitten" said Nick. "Well she wasn't... but you wouldn't believe us" I said.

"Calm down. We can settle this in the house" said Pete. "Walkers are everywhere. Last thing we need is to lure the damn things here"

"I can help patch that wound up better" said Carlos, clearly referring to Clementine's arm. "We would appreciate that" I said. I was glad someone with medical experience finally offered to help. It took them long enough.

The others reluctantly agreed and proceeded back to the house. Luke however waited for us. "You two hungry" he asked.

"Hell yeah... do you got something" I asked. He chuckled a bit and smiled at my response. "We sure do. Come on, let's go get you something to eat" said Luke.

I held Clementine's arm to examine the new bandaging. "I really got to hand it to him. He did a good job patching you up" I said.

"You helped to you know" said Clementine. I shook my head, I knew my skills weren't perfect when it came to bandaging wounds. "Nah, I was terrible" I said.
