Y/N's POV

Me and Clem were sitting together, Duck then started coughing out blood. Lee wiped off the blood and he went to tell Kenny to stop the train.

Clementine: Y/N?

Y/N: Clem?

Clementine: Duck is dying.

Y/N: I know.

Clementine: And I been thinking lately.

Y/N: Yeah?

Clementine: What if this happens to you?

I then see tears drop from her eyes.

Y/N: You do?

She then starts crying.

Clementine: Yeah, An-And I-I don't want that to happen to you!

I then pull her to a hug as she cries in my shoulders 

Y/N: It won't happen, I promise.

Clementine: What if it happens to me?

Y/N: That won't happen either, I will protect you.

Clementine: You don't know that.

Y/N: Trust me Clem, I know.

Then the train stops. We all got out as we saw Duck even worse.

Katjaa: Ken, It's... I think it's time.

Everyone looked at Duck with a sad look. Then Kenny looked at Chuck.

Kenny: The boy's been bit. In case you haven't figured that out.

Lee: What do you need?

Kenny: I... I.....

Lee: Katjaa?

Katjaa: It's time to.... this is not possible.

Kenny: What are we gonna do?

Katjaa: We can't allow them to become one of those things.

Kenny: But what if? What if he doesn't?

Katjaa: Kenny, I love you very much. I love our son more then life itself. I need you to hear me. What you are saying, that he may not turn, is foolish.

Kenny: But-

Katjaa: No.

Kenny: There's... Come on Kat.

Katjaa: If you think of one, you let me know.

Kenny: Isn't there some sort of pill, or something we can just give him....

Katjaa: Stop it.

Kenny: He can just drift off to sleep, right, hon? I mean, Jesus, this is our son. 

Katjaa: I KNOW. But we know it's... here. Or nothing.

She said pointing at her head.

Kenny: Well... fuck... just... who then? You want me to?

Lee: Kenny, you're his dad. You do it.

Katjaa: And I'm his mother.

Kenny: Lee's right. And don't give me that "I brought him into this world" junk.

Katjaa: Shush. He's still a baby boy. It would be different if he were older. Let me do this.

Kenny: Then I'm coming with you.

Katjaa: No hon. Stay with Lee. Your son loves you and you should remember him as the silly boy we used to have. Not this.

Katjaa then picked up Duck and was about to carry him to the forest.

Kenny: I can't.

Katjaa: Lee, be with him?

She then walked off. Me and Clem walked towards Lee.

Clementine: What's happening.

Lee: Duck is dying.

Y/N: I know.

Clementine: What is Katjaa doing?

Lee: She's making sure he's okay.

Y/N: But how? He's bitten.

Lee: She's making sure he doesn't come back.

Y/N: Oh.

Lee: Look guys, things wil-

Then we heard a gunshot.

Kenny: NOOO, GOD....!

Lee: This will never happen to both of you.

I nod.

Clementine: You don't know that.

Lee: Yes I do.

Y/N: Same here.

Kenny: I'm gonna go get her. She's probably a mess.

Lee: Ben, get Clementine and Y/N on the train, all right? And keep your eyes open.

We get on the train. Clementine started crying again, she quickly wrapped her arms around me crying in my shoulders. I hug her back sobbing. I will miss Duck, he was annoying but sometimes fun to have around. Then Lee and Kenny came back, no Katjaa.

Y/N: Where's Katjaa?

Kenny had tears coming down his face and stayed silent. I knew what happened.

Y/N: No.

Then the train started moving. Me and Clem were sitting together. Then Chuck walked towards us.

Chuck: Now Y/N, you will be fine. But Clem, you are gonna die.

Clementine: What?!

She was now scared, I got angry.

Y/N: Don't tell her that!!!

Chuck: I'm not trying to be rude, I'm saying this because it's true.

Y/N: NO IT'S NOT! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!!

Chuck then walked away. Clem started crying again, I quickly pull her in a hug, she hugs back.

Clementine: I don't wanna die!

Y/N: You won't Clem. I will protect you. I will even sacrifice my own life if it meant saving you.

Clementine: But then YOU would die!

She then cried even more.

Y/N: I won't. but if it comes down to it, you will NOT die!

Clementine: Why would you even do that for?!

Y/N: So you can see your parents again! I lost my family! I don't have anyone anymore.

Clementine: I'm here. You have me. We are a team.

She calmed down. She was still sobbing, but she calmed down.

Y/N: Thanks Clem.

We let go of the hug and watched the trees and bushes pass.
