Now Where's Safe? (MAJOR EDITING HAPPENING)

Chapter 24-the back story

CLEMENTINE'S POV

The guy walks up to me and helps me out. no words where spoken as he did this. I stood in front of him.

"Are you clementine?" he asked me. I stared at him , not saying a word. I don't know this man so how in gods name does he know me.

"Who are you?" I said trying to sound tough when really inside I wanted to cry.

"I will tell you later but right now you need to come with me"

"I'm not going anywhere with you" I spat.

He sighed then he took out he gun and whacked me with it. that's all I remember because I was knocked out cold.

•••••••••dream••••••••

I was running through the woods as fast as I could to get to the roaring light. I emerged from the woods. I stood stunned at the sight then fright and sadness took over me. my house was had a blazing fire roaring. then I screamed with terror when my mother and father emerged from the flames. their skin melted and clothes burnt off. their zombiefyed corpses walked towards me. then the next corpse to walk out was.....

Lee...

•••••••••••end of dream •••••••••••

I sat up , screaming at the top of my lungs. I have that dream mostly every time I go to sleep. I looked around , once remembering what had happened before I had been knocked out. I was lying on a small mattress. Next to me was a small fire. The guys who knocked me out was sitting In front of the fire cooking some sort of animal . I tried to quickly think of a plan , I felt my pockets for my gun. crap no guns. it's dark so if I run I won't know where I'm going.

"I know your awake" he said. I froze with fear.

"Im not going to hurt you just please let me explain"

I sighed. "okay" I sat up and sat with my knee's pulled up against my chest.

"I'm sorry I hit you I had to keep you safe and because you would not listen to me I had to do it I'm sorry"

"Its okay but why are you here? how do you know my name? your backstory?"

"My name is Ben , I'm 20 years old I was born and raised in the New York. for the last week I have been tracking you down and watching out for you. a close friend of yours has paid me to watch your back so that's exactly what I'm going to do" I stared at ben. Ben had short brown hair and green eyes. he was taller then me and quite fit I must say.

"Do you have family?" I asked.

"No it's just me and since it started it always has been"

"Oh well I don't have fam-"

"I know I got told when I was set this job of watching out for you"

"Who set you this job?"

"A old friend of yours"
