Once he was gone Clementine continued eating, spooning the food into her mouth.
"So since you're pretty much on your own, apart from your dog... What's your plan?" Luke asked.
"I'm thinking about moving on" she replied.
"Well you and Sam are welcome to stay here if you want. Y'can let yourself heal up and take some time to sort things out."
"Do you think everyone else will be ok with it?" She asked.
"They'll just have to deal with it" he said with a smile. "So.... What happened to your parents....? If you don't mind me asking. I mean, I assume what happened to them is what happened to just about everyone's parents. You're just so young... didn't think you could've made it on your own for so long, but maybe you did."
"Other people took care of me, if that's what you're asking" she responded.
"I was just curious on how you made it this far"
"I just tried to stay with good people and not do anything dumb"
"Hey, I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't have asked."
"My parents went on vacation and left me with a babysitter and they never came back, we went to Savannah to find them... But they were already dead" she told him sadly.
"Wow... Well I'm sorry to hear that."
"This man found me and took care of me. We met up with other survivors and we all tried to make it, but... it didn't work. His name was Lee. He taught me how to survive. He's the reason why I keep my hair short." she said, reminding herself of the old days. Sam whined and rested his head on Clementine's knee, she looked down at him and rushed her fingers through his fur.
"What, uh happened to him...?" Luke questioned.
"The same thing that happens to everyone. But he saved me, first. Lots of times."
"Well he sounds like he was a real good guy" he commented on her story.
"Yeah. He was" Clementine agreed.

Suddenly Pete walked in through the door "I hate to interrupt, but I'm out there standing watch and I can't help but notice that this place is lit up like a goddamn beacon in the middle of the woods" he told them.
"Yeah, it's time to turn in anyways" Luke commented.
"Get your winks while you can 'cause we're goin' fishing at first light. A couple of fresh brookies for diner? Mm, wouldn't that be nice." Pete told them. "Also, Clementine I talked to Carlos and he says you can share a room with Sarah for the night--"
"Well tell him thanks" she interrupted.
"--However, I'm afraid Sam can't"
Clementine looked at Sam and stroked his fur "Then where is he suppose to go?" She asked.
"He's going to have to sleep in the shed tonight, Clem." Pete replied.
"The shed? But isn't dangerous? There's walkers outside!"
"I'm sorry Clementine, but we can't let him have free rein of the cabin or he could find our food supplies, we can't risk that. We need to be cautious around him, just in case he attacks anyone else." Pete told her.
"He'll be perfectly fine, I'm sure. The door is the only way in or out and it's lock, not many lurkers have gotten into the shed in a while. Someone will be on watch outside so if anything tries to cause harm to Sam then we'll know" Luke added.
"I guess you're right" she said.
"You want me to take him out?" Luke asked.
"No, I'll do it"
"Well if you're sure--" Pete began.
"I am"
"Alright, I'll wait outside for ya, so whenever you're ready" he said, giving her a brief smile and then exiting. Luke stood up and followed Pete out.
Clementine began to finish up her food. "Oh, you're still here" a voice said irritably. Clementine lifted her head and swallowed hard, meeting Rebecca's gaze, Sam growled lowly at the pregnant women.
Rebecca gave the dog a hard stare and moved past the two of them and over to the kitchen sink, washing her hands. "I wouldn't get comfortable if I were you" she told her.
"When is the baby coming?" Clementine asked curiously and changing the subject.
"What do you care? It's non of your fucking business". Sam snarled, showing his teeth, his hackles raised. "You need to control your dog or else he'll get put down" she said harshly.
"You should probably think about being nicer to me and Sam." Clementine responded with a harsh glare which Rebecca returned. "That's just my advice" she said, turning away.
"I knew you were going to be a fucking problem. You got what you came here for. Now go." She said before leaving the room.

The cool crips evening air sent shivers up Clementine's spine as she and Sam left the cabin. She embraced her own body heat and wandered over to Pete, who was standing by the stairs, staring out towards the darkness of the forest.
"Ah, you're here, come on, follow me" she said, leading them towards the shed. Sam was taking in his surroundings and moving cautiously as Clementine tempted him over to the shed with her left over food. Pete grasped the cold metal handles on the shed door and heaved them open, revealing the inside.
There were marks on a metal board where tools had once been kept. There were some wooden boards and a rake propped up in the far corner of the room, in the opposite corner was a tool box. There was a vice attached to a crafting desk. The shadows that were cast made the place feel ominous, causing Sam to whin nervously.
"Is there anything in here that could hurt him?" She asked Pete worryingly.
"Don't think so, as long as he doesn't mess around or do anything stupid I'm sure he'll be fine." Pete said before pausing "I'll leave you to get him settled" he said, and moving away from the shed and back towards the cabin.
Clementine walked into the shed and placed the bowl of left over food down, Sam immediately ran over and began to eat hungrily. She smiled gently and stroked his back as he ate. "You're as hungry as I was" she commented with a small laugh. "I'm glad things have gotten sorted, I'm glad you're here. I hope I can rely on you from now on and I hope you can rely on me, we'll look out for each other"
Clementine pulled her hand away and sighed deeply, slowly backing away towards the door. She was about to close it when Sam whirled round and ran up to her, jumping up and placing his paws on her stomach, his tongue hanging out and his eyes gleaming.
"I'm sorry boy but you can't come inside. If I could bring you with me I would but I can't, you'll just have to stay here tonight, ok?"
Sam ears drooped and he sat down sadly. "Look I'm sure you won't have to stay in the shed every night, if you can prove that you can behave then the group will let you come inside, but for now you have to stay here. But it won't be long, I promise." She said and then knelt down to his level and meeting his eyes.
She reached out to him and stroked his fur before pulling in close and hugging his neck. Sam accepted her hug, he did not struggle, he did not pull away, he embraced her, rubbing his head against her cheek. There was a bond between them, Clementine could already see it forming, a bridge that connected them, combining them in friendship. The affection Clementine felt for Sam was already blossoming.
Sam felt protective of her. It had been so long since he had been amongst human beings, surviving out in the cold and the rain alone with no one comfort. He had missed this, missed being held, being stroked. He loved his family, he missed them, he wanted them back.... He had Clementine now, and he wasn't going to lose her. She was.... His friend. The only one he had, the only one he cared for and he wasn't going to let this new world take that from him again.
She gently pulled away and stood up, ruffling up the fur on his head "I'll be there for you Sam, always. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise" she said.
If Sam could talk he would probably say the same thing. "I'll see you in the morning Sam" she told him. Sam backed away from the doors as Clementine closed them, leaving him in darkness.

Clementine trudged upstairs towards Sarah's room. She stood in the glow of the candle light before knocking on the door "Come in" a muffled voice said from inside.
She grasped the golden knob and twisted it, pushing the door open and moving into the room. Sarah was sitting on the bed, book in hand. "Hi, you must be Clementine" she greeted, giving her a warm smile.
"You must be Sarah" Clementine responded. She glanced at her book "What are you reading?" She asked curiously.
"A book" Sarah replied simply.
"What book? I like books"
"It's called The Guurgles. It's about trans-dimensional body snatchers" she told her.
"Cool"
Sarah looked at Clementine's bandaged arm "How's your cut doing?" She asked.
"It's ok, it doesn't hurt as much and I feel a lot better, thanks for asking."
She paused, glancing at her window "I saw you putting your dog in the shed outside. Why did you do that?" Sarah asked.
"I had no choice, the group wouldn't allow him in the cabin" Clementine replied.
"That's a shame, I haven't seen a dog since all this started. I hope I get to meet him"
"They dad doesn't want you to go near Sam"
"I know. He's just protecting me, I get it"
Clementine looked at the bed Sarah was siting on and then asked "Where am I sleeping?"
"There's only one bed in here but there are a few blankets in that cupboard and an extra pillow if you want to help yourself" Sarah replied, gesturing over to the other side of the room.
"Thanks" Clementine said simply, and walked past the bed towards the cupboard while Sarah continued reading. She opened it, took out said blankets and pillow and then closed it. She laid out the blankets and the set herself downs on the floor.
"Sorry that you have to sleep down there" Sarah apologised "If you want, I'll switch with you" she said.
"No it's ok, it's just like camping" Clementine replied, gesturing at the skylight above her, giving her a view of the black cloak of twilight.
"Or like a sleepover" Sarah commented.
"Yeah, or that"
"We're friends" Sarah said suddenly. "Right? We can be best friends -- I haven't met another girl my age since way before. It's hard to be the only girl, you know? Rebecca is okay, but she's old. And that's it. And if the baby's a girl then it'll be FOREVER before she's old enough to, like, be my friend. And then I'll be super old"
"Yes we.... We could be friends" Clementine muttered, trying to not hurt Sarah's feelings and ignoring the guilty feeling inside.
"Promise?" she asked. "It's important. Friends have to trust each other no matter what. Do you promise or not?"
"I promise" Clementine replied. It could work, they could be friends, why couldn't they be? She was reluctant because of what had happened to friends in the past.... Like Duck.
"Me too. Friends" Sarah said, lifting her pinky finger. Clementine stood up and curled her own pinky finger around Sarah's.
"A pinky swear is forever" Sarah commented. They both lowered there hands and Clementine sat back down on the floor. "Would you like to read my book?" Sarah asked. "I'm not far off the ending, maybe you'd be interested in it, it's really cool"
"Yeah, I'd like to take a look at it. I haven't read a book in a while, it would be a nice change" Clementine said.
Sarah leaned down and handed her the book kindly "I hope you like it as much as I do"
Clementine placed the book on her pillow and opened it to page 1, intrigued by the title and details Sarah had given her. Sarah lie down on her bed and stared at the ceiling, beginning to drift off into sleep.
"I'm glad my dad decided to help you" Sarah said sweetly and turned her head in Clementine's direction and smiled which Clementine returned.
