Yeah I know. I've been having like ZERO free time to write these recently. I literally had like the whole next part written out two weeks ago, but my computer died so I gave up on it for awhile. Currently I'm in the process of rewriting this part. I'm kinda still pissed off because of this, so it may not be as good as my original version.

Finally an update!
Clementine woke up with a large pain in her stomach, her vision very blurry. She saw that she was laid on her back on what felt like sand. Looking to her left, she saw the river that she and Omid had jumped into last night, and noticed that they were most likely stopped by the blockade of jagged rocks that were in the river.
Violently coughing up some water, Clementine looked up again only to see a figure looming above her, the bright sun in her eyes and her blurry vision making it difficult to tell who it was.
“Clem...Clem, can you hear me?” the figure said, slightly shoving her. “Ugh...Lee?” Clementine responded weakly to the figure.
But as her vision cleared, she realized that the figure was not Lee, but rather Omid instead.
“Where are we?” She asked him, slowly standing up. “After we jumped into the river, it took us all the way down to here during the night.” he explained to her. “So...what do we do now?” Clementine asked Omid. “This path might lead us back into the forest, we can look for Christa while we’re at it.” He told her, pointing to a broken staircase leading towards a trail into the forest.
Omid then proceeded to lift himself up to the staircase, then reached his hand out to Clementine, who was still on the ground. “You sure you’re up for this?” she asked him nervously, remembering that he had got shot the night before. “Clem I’ve got this, gimme your hand.” he said reassuring her.
Clementine then took one quick jump and grabbed onto Omid’s hand, who then helped pull her up to the staircase. The two then started their trek through the forest.
---------------------------------
A couple minutes through walking on the trail, Clementine and Omid stopped and noticed a a warning sign stuck in the ground. The sign read “WARNING: Be cautious of aggressive wildlife.” with pictures of a bear, a snake, and a wolf.
“Do you think any animals even live here anymore?” Clementine asked Omid. “I doubt it. Walkers probably got them all by now.” he replied.
Suddenly, the two heard rustling coming from a nearby bush. The sound got constantly closer and closer to them over time.
“Clem stay back!” Omid warned her, shoving her back slightly.
The rustling suddenly stopped. A figure slowly emerged from the bushes and revealed itself. A yellow dog walked out of the bushes, surveying it’s environment quickly before noticing Omid and Clementine. The dog lowered its head and began to growl, slowly approaching the two, who cautiously began to walk backwards away from it.
“Hey, easy now boy…” Omid said to the dog nervously as it kept moving towards them.
The dog stopped moving all of a sudden and began to smell the two. After a moment, the dog barked happily and began wagging its tail.
“Well, I guess he likes us.” Omid said to Clementine with a sigh of relief.
Clementine then walked towards the dog, noticing a blue collar around its neck. She looked on the side of the collar and noticed the name “Sam” written in black marker.
“Sam...Well, nice to meet you Sam!” she said to the dog, who barked in response.
Sam’s ears flared up suddenly, as the quickly darted back into the bushes, but not before barking back at Omid and Clementine.
“You think he wants us to follow him?” Clementine asked Omid. “Well, what choice do we have?” Omid replied as the two walked through the bushes following Sam.
-----------------------------
The two eventually caught up with Sam, as they suddenly realized where Sam had brought them; it was a rundown campsite with two destroyed tents, a campfire with a cooking pot hanging above it, a trash bin, and a broken van. Sam then started wandering around the campsite, sniffing around the entire area.
“What do you think?” Clementine asked Omid. “Looks abandoned, but you never know.” he said warning her.
As the two began to walk into the campsite, Clementine’s stomach let out a loud grumble.
“You hungry Clem?” Omid asked her jokingly. “A little…” she replied with a slight smile. “Well let’s see if there’s anything still left here” he said as he began to walk over a cardboard box inside the van.
As Omid investigated the van, Clementine walked over to one of the tents, having several large tears in the fabric. Inside, she noticed a can of tomato paste, but when she picked it up, she found the can to be empty.
“Ugh I hate scavengers, they take everything!” She said irritated as she dropped the can onto the ground.
Clementine walked away from the tent and towards the garbage can. The putrid smell of the can made her a little queasy, but it was nothing compared to the smell of rotting flesh.
“Well, here we go…” she said uneasily as she rolled up her sleeves and began to rummage through the trash. Her hands felt through many empty bottles and boxes until she felt a slightly heavy can. taking the can out of the trash bin, she was delighted to see that it was an unopened can of beans.
“Oh my God. Thank you!” she said to herself as if it was an answered prayer.
She then turned over to Omid who was still searching through the van.
“Omid, look what I found!” Clementine said triumphantly as she held the can over head. “Shit, nice find Clem!” he replied, walking over to her. “Now we just need something to open it…” she said as she looked around for something sharp.
All of a sudden, Sam started barking continuously as he ran over to a tree nearby, where he began to growl.
“What is it Sam?” Clementine asked the dog as she and Omid walked over to him.
The two looked behind a tree and were shocked to notice a walker tied up to the tree, quietly groaning.
Sam slowly walked up to the walker, but jumped back in surprise when the walker reached its hand out in an attempt to grab it.
“It’s okay, he’s dead.” Clementine said, reassuring the dog as she pet his forehead. “Yeah, look there’s the bite right there on his arm.”Omid said, pointing out the marks of teeth on the walker’s right forearm. There was also a pocket knife embedded in his shoulder. “Guess he tried to cut it out” Omid added as he noticed the knife. “But that never works, ever…” Clementine said sadly, thinking back to when Lee had cut his arm off to try and ward off the virus. “It’s okay Clem, we tried all we could.” Omid said to her.
------------------------
Ben was the first to notice that Lee had passed out in the morgue, hearing the slumping of his body behind him as him, Kenny, Omid, and Christa guarded the door from walkers.
“Oh no...Guys, Lee’s down!” he cried as he rushed over to his unconscious body.
The other four ran over to his body as well, pondering over what to do.
“Damn...Is he dead?” Omid asked with a bit of nervousness in his voice. “I don’t know, his pulse is weak.” Christa said as she checked Lee’s pulse on his left arm. “Fuck! Help me me get him on the table.” Kenny said to Christa as the two of them lifted Lee onto one of the tables. “What are we gonna do? He’s not gonna make it any longer with that bite on his arm.” Omid asked the other four. “No shit Sherlock. Does anyone have any ideas?” Kenny replied angrily to the others. “Ummm….No?” Ben replied nerviously. “Thanks a fucking lot Ben. Goddammit…” Kenny replied, worried about Lee’s fate.
“What about taking the arm off?” Christa suggested. “What?!” Ben repleid in shock. “No think about it. Maybe the virus hasn’t gotten past his arm yet. If we cut it off we could save him!” she explained. “Hell that might be crazy enough to just work.” Kenny said, agreeing with her idea. “How are gonna cut his arm off though?” Omid asked Kenny. “There’s gotta be something around here we can use…” Kenny said looking around.
Omid then noticed a bonesaw, a yellow tube, and a roll of bandages on the table next to him.
“Guys, maybe we can use these.” he told the group, giving the saw to Kenny. “Okay, this can work.” He replied as he began to tear to the left sleeve of Lee’s shirt, followed by Omid wrapping the tube around Lee’s arm to stop blood flowing into it.
“Okay, here we go. It’s now or never. Sorry pal, can’t take the risk.” Kenny said to Lee’s unconscious body as he began to pull back the saw.
Suddenly, Lee’s head started shaking as his eyes quickly popped open, noticing Kenny about to saw his arm off.
“DON’T KILL ME!” he yelled as he quickly regained his senses. “Stop, he’s awake!” Christa told Kenny just before he was about to saw off Lee’s arm. “He’s still bitten!” Kenny replied to her. “What the Hell are you guys talking about?” Lee asked the other four. “We thought that...maybe if we took off your arm...maybe we could get the virus out.” Omid explained to him. “Do we REALLY have to cut his arm off though?” Ben asked Kenny. “It’s the only way!” he told him. “Is there gonna be a lot of blood?” Ben asked once again. “There’s gonna be a SHITLOAD of blood. “ Christa replied. “What if he dies?” Omid asked her. “Then the rest of us leave him and go after Clementine.” she answered.
Lee took one last look at his bitten arm before turning towards Christa.
“Fuck it. Cut it off.” he told her. “Seriously?” She asked him. “Yeah, if I’m gonna be able to get to this fucker, I’m gonna need to fight him at my best.” He replied.
Lee then stood up and placed his arm on the table.
“Don’t cut too high though okay?” he asked them.
Kenny and Christa then stood over the bonesaw, deciding who should cut off his arm.
“It was easier when I thought he was out.” Kenny told her, not wanting to cut off Lee’s arm while he was still conscious. “Oh Jesus, fine.” Christa groaned as she grabbed the saw and placed it on Lee’s arm.
“I’ll go as fast as I can.” she told Lee, trying to reassure him. Lee then gave her a quick nod. “If I don’t live through it, I want you to-”
But before he could finish, Christa began sawing through his arm, with what seemed like almost a gallon of blood pouring out of his arm. He screamed in intense pain as the saw went deeper and deeper into his arm.
“Just stay still!” Christa told him as she continued sawing through, the sound of cutting through the bone making an unsettling cracking sound. “OH GOD!!” Lee managed to say through his screams of pain. “I know!!” Christa said as she was almost through, grimacing at the current condtion of the arm, hanging off the table by a small part of skin.
Christa finally finished cutting through Lee’s arm, the hole where his arm used to be spraying blood all over the table, completely soaking her hands. Upon seeing the state his arm was in, Lee went into shock and passed out again, leaning onto the table.
“Shit not again!” Christa said shortly afterward.
Omid then passed the bandages to Christa, who then proceeded to wrap them around the stump that was once Lee’s arm. The blood continued to soak through the bandages for a couple of seconds until the bleeding stopped.
“Fuck…did it work?” Omid asked her. “I don’t know. I hope so.” Christa answered uncertainly, as the four of them looked over Lee’s body.
---------------------------
Omid picked up a large tree branch that lied next to the walker and prepared to bash its head in.
“Clem, why don’t you go play with Sam while I deal with this okay?” he asked her. “Okay” She replied.
While looking around for something to play with, she noticed a Frisbee disc lying on the ground. She picked it up and waved over to Sam.
“Hey Sam, wanna play catch?” she asked the dog, who then barked happily in response.
Clementine then bent her arm back as she threw the Frisbee over Sam’s head, who then proceeded to run after the disc and catch it in his mouth, and then returned back to Clementine.
“Good boy Sam!” She said nicely as she pet his head. She always wanted her parents to get her a dog, but they never agreed to it, saying that she would get one once she got older.
At that moment, Omid had killed the walker and retrieved the knife from its shoulder. It was still pretty sharp, and therefore usable.
“Alright Clem, I’m done here. You wanna eat?” he asked her as he walked towards her. “Yeah, I’m starving.” she replied.
The two of them sat down on a log. Clementine picked up the can of beans.
“Is it okay if I can open it? I’m gonna have to learn eventually.” She asked Omid. “Sure Clem, just be careful not to cut yourself.” he replied, handing her the knife. Clementine then went to work on the can, cutting it open in a clockwise manner.
“Please don’t be bad” She said to herself right before she finished opening it.
Thankfully for the two of them, the beans were revealed to be fully edible, not having expired yet.
“Thank God.” Clementine said with a deep sigh.
As she and Omid began to dig in to their “feast”, Sam walked over to them and sat down, whimpering at the two hoarding the food. Clementine then stopped eating and looked sadly at the dog.
“Omid, can I feed Sam some food?” She asked him. “Of course you can.” he replied.
Clementine then took out a handful of beans and put them in Sam’s face.
“Here you go.” she said to the dog.
Instead of taking the beans in her hand, Sam instead went to bite the whole can of beans in her other hand, knocking it to the ground and spilling some.
“Hey! Don’t eat it all.” She said as she quickly snatched the can away from Sam.
Sam then began to growl angrily, and that moment, he lunged for Clementine’s left arm, biting down on it and dragging onto the dirt ground. In fear, she picked up the can with her other arm and began to continuously hit Sam in the face with the can, doign nothing to stop the dog except for slightly cutting its nose.
“CLEMENTINE, NO!” Omid cried as he quickly grabbed the pocket knife and tackled Sam off of her, the force of the tackle strong enough to leave some of the dog’s teeth embedded in her arm.
At that moment. Clementine looked on weakly as she saw Omid’s eyes fill with rage, showing no mercy on Sam as he stabbed the dog continuously, each strike letting out a weaker and weaker whimper from the animal. Clementine tried to crawl over to him and get him to stop, but it was no use, he was too obsessed with maiming the beast that had attacked his friend.
“Omid, stop!” she cried out, but he still did not hear her.
He then finished the dog off with one final strike, driving the knife straight into it’s eye, which then proceeded to stay skewered on the knife as Omid pulled the knife out of the dog’s skull. He then stood over it for a couple moments, the animals blood splattered over the majority of his shirt and slightly on his face.
“Omid Stop!” Clementine said once again as she stood up weakly, grabbing Omid’s shoulder, causing him to snap back into reality.
As if from a very bad hangover, Omid held his head in pain.
“Ugh, god….Clem, are you okay?” he asked her. “You butchered that dog! What the Hell was that for?!” she yelled angrily, ignoring his question. “Clem I’m sorry. It’s just that, after the baby, then Christa, I don’t wanna lose you too. You’re the only thing I’ve got left in this world.” he told her sadly. “I…” Clementine said weakly, but before she could finish, the blood she was losing from the bite caused her to pass out and fall to the ground. “Shit...don’t worry Clem, I’m gonna get you out of here.” He told her unconscious body as he began to pick up her body and walked out of the camp, continuing his search for Christa.

Part 3!
Omid carried Clementine for over an hour through the woods. Exhausted, he sat down on the ground and laid on a giant rock, placing Clementine’s unconscious body next to her. She had lost a bit of blood from the dog’s bite, enough to partially bleed through the sleeve of her shirt. He hoped that once she woke up, he would forgive him for what he did to Sam. After all, he did it to protect her.
After a few minutes, Clementine began to come to, barely noticing Omid, as well as a blurry figure looming behind him.
“Omid…” she said weakly, trying to warn him of the figure. “Clem? Jesus, are you alright? You lost some blood.” he asked her worried, not noticing the figure behind her. “No, Omid….behind you!” she yelled at him, pulling him towards her as the figure lunged at him.
The figure revealed itself to be a walker, with a screwdriver partially embedded in its skull. it grabbed onto Omid’s foot in an attempt to bite it, but he was able to kick the screwdriver further into the walker’s head first, killing it. Omid then began panting heavily for a few moments after the surprise. Shortly after, the two of them heard more moans coming from deeper within the forest. The sounds got closer and closer, until they noticed a horde of almost ten walkers emerge from the bushes, slowly shambling towards Omid and Clementine.
“Shit! C’mon Clem, we’re getting out of here!” Omid said as he quickly picked up Clementine and ran deeper into the forest with her. The walkers behind them did not stop, as there growls continued to follow them.
As they were running, one single walker had jumped out from behind a tree and grabbed Omid, knocking him to the ground and dropping Clementine, who rolled forward a few feet, causing great pain in her bitten arm. When she had stopped rolling, another walker had pounced on top of her, pinning her to the ground. She tried all she could to push it off of her, but it was no use.
As the walker was just about to take a bite out of her neck, a sharp cutting sound was heard as the walker’s head rolled to the ground next to her, it’s open neck spraying blood on her face. Looking up at her savior, she was surprised not to see Omid, but rather a young man possibly in his 20s wearing an orange t-shirt and holding a bloody machete, carrying a holster for it on his back. The man then proceeded to pick her up as she had noticed another man behind him; he appeared to be in his early 50s, wearing a green buttoned shirt and beige cargo pants, and also carried a crossbow. The man took aim at the walker that was attacking Omid an fired, the bolt going straight through the walker’s head and pinning it to a nearby tree.
“What the fuck?!” Omid asked in surprise as he noticed the two men staring at him, the younger one holding Clementine. “We don’t have time to explain! You and your daughter are coming with us if you want to live!” The older man told him.
Without any thought Omid and the others then proceeded to run further into the forest, the older man slowly picking off the walkers following them. Eventually the four of them stopped to catch their breath, the groans of the walkers long behind them.
“Did we lose them?” the older man asked the younger one. “Yeah...we’re good.” he said panting. “Are you and your daughter alright?” he then asked Omid. “She’s not my daughter. I’m taking care of her for her father. He’s dead.” he lied. “Damn...well I’m sorry to hear that.” the young man replied.
Clementine then slowly came to again, having passed out while they were running.
“Hey, you alright girl?” he asked her. “I’m fine...I can walk….” she replied weakly. “Really? Cause last I saw you could barely get that lurker off of you.” he replied. “Lurkers?” Omid asked, their name for walkers sounding awkward to him. “Yeah lurkers, ‘cause they’re always lurking around for people to eat. What do you call them?” the man asked. “Walkers.” Omid replied. “That makes sense. By the way I’m Luke, and this is Pete” the man said, pointing to the older man next to him. “I’m Omid, and that’s Clementine” Omid said, introducing themselves to their new allies. “So, what were you two doing before this? There’s no way the two of you made this far by yourselves.” Pete asked them. “We were with someone else too, but then some bandits attacked and we got separated from her.” Clementine explained. “Hmm….did these guys say what they were after?” Pete asked her. “No, they didn’t. We were cooking some sort of weasel.” she replied, struggling to remember. “They attacked you for a weasel? Damn, that is low.” Luke said to her
The four of them continued their travel through the forest, with Luke still carrying Clementine.
Luke then looked at her and Omid. “Well it’s nice to meet both of you, we’re gonna take you back to our group alright? We’ve got a doctor with us and you look like you could use some- OH SHIT!” he said out loud noticing Clem’s dog bite, causing him to drop her on the ground, landing on her bitten arm.
“Clem! You piece of shit!” Omid yelled at Luke as he grabbed him and prepared to punch him. “Not so fast! What happened?” Pete interrupted, aiming his crossbow at Omid’s head.
Omid then let go of Luke reluctantly, his fists still clenched at his sides.
“She...she’s been bit man! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, what’re we gonna do?” he asked Pete, panicking. “No! It was a dog I swear!” Clementine said defending herself. “I didn’t see any dog Clementine.” Pete said to her in response. “No, just look at it, I saw it happen!” Omid pleaded with Pete. “Yeah right! And have her sink her teeth into Pete’s neck? No way!” Luke responded. “What? Why me?” Pete asked Luke, a little irritated. “Because I don’t a dog bite from a mosquito bite from a lurker bite man!” he replied. “Whatever, let me take a look.” Pete said as he went to check on Clementine.
He then proceeded to roll up Clementine’s sleeve to examine the bite. It had gotten much worse since the actual event, with the skin around the bite slowly turning a bruised purple.
“See?” Clementine said to Pete. “Is it uh, like she says?” Luke asked Pete as he was examining the wound. “Well it could be a dog bite. Hard to say.” Pete answered. He then turned to Clementine. “So where did this dog go?” he asked her. “Omid...killed it.” Clementine responded. “Really? A dog shows up, bites you, and your friend just kills it?” Luke asked, not buying her story. “What would you have done?” Pete asked Luke. “I don’t know!” he responded. “That thing tried to kill her!” Omid said to Luke. “Still! You don’t...you don’t kill dogs.” Luke said to him sadly.
Pete then looked at Clementine once again.
“Clementine?” he asked her. “Yes?” she responded. “Are you and Omid telling the truth? Look me in the eye when you answer.” he said to her sternly. “Of course we are!” she replied, looking directly at him.
Pete then thought for a moment. “Alright, that’s good enough for me.” he said after the silence. “Well what else was she gonna say?” Luke said to Pete. “I’ve got a good bullshit detector Luke. That’s why you could never beat me in poker.” he replied to him as he covered rolled up Clementine’s sleeve to cover the bite. “You don’t always beat me in...alright whatever. So what do you think?” Luke asked Pete. “Well I for one ain’t sure as hell leaving a little girl and her guardian to die in the woods. We can have Carlos take a look at her.” Pete explained to him. “Nick’s not gonna like this, not after-” “I said we’re bringing her.” Pete interrupted Luke sternly. “Right, sorry sir.” Luke responded.
Luke then helped Clementine to her feet as the four of them walked out of the forest. In the clearing was a large cabin with a shed built a couple feet away from it. As they were walking, Luke turned back to notice Clementine was growing weaker and weaker by the second.
“Hey Clem, are you alright?” he asked her. “I’m fine...don’t worry about…”
her vision slowly became blurry as she fell to the ground unconscious.
“Ah shit.” Luke said as he saw her fall to the ground.
