Clementine Returns to the day she met Lee
From Create Your Own Story
Clementine's mind was haunted by chaos, even as she slept it felt as bad as ever, sometimes worse. Yet on the dawn of her birthday, as she had yet another nightmare, something happened in her mind. A voice called out saying, "You have another chance, enjoy your second time around." The voice was so jarring that Clementine shot up awake in a shock, she shook violently and looked around confused. Instead of a camp site she was somewhere very familiar, she was back in her tree house. "What the hell?" She thought. She looked down at herself and she still was her older self yet nothing had changed in her yard since the last time she was here,"How did I get home?" She asked herself nervously.
"Hello?! Anyone home?!" A voice called out, "I'm coming in, don't shoot okay?!"
Clem's eyes went wide and she scurried over to the window of the tree house catching a glimpse of a man walking into her families house. To her amazement it was none other than Lee Everett, the man that had died so many years ago. She blinked as if knowing it was an illusion, She turned back and picked up her walkie talkie, "Hello? Who's in there?" She asked timidly,
After a moment a voice replied, "Hello? Is someone there?"
"Yeah, who are you?" She asked as she clutched the walkie,
"My name's Lee, who are you?" Lee replied,
"I...I'm Clementine." Clementine said as she moved towards the window to look into the house, "I'm in my tree house, can you see me?"
She watched, nearly in tears, as Lee walked to the window and waved to her. She then saw his babysitter Sandra's dead arm reaching for him, "Look out!" She shouted. Without waiting she turned back and found her hammer that she used for protection and climbed out of the tree house. She ran up to the glass door pulling it open as Lee kicked away the walker Sandra. "Here!" Clementine shouted as she past him the hammer,
Lee reached out, took the hammer and proceeded to smash Sandra's skull in. As he took a few deep breaths he got to his feet, "Oh man..." Lee said slowly, "Hey there." Lee said to her with a small smile,
"Are you okay?" She asked fearfully,
"Just fine...you know, you aren't exactly what you sounded like over the radio." He said with a raised brow,
"Huh?" Clem asked as she snapped her eyes up at him away from Sandra,
"I just meant, I thought you were younger, a lot younger." Lee replied, "Was she your friend?"
"Yeah..." Clem replied,
"Well i'm sorry." Lee said sincerely, "Listen I don't know about you but I don't think we can stay here." Lee explained,
"You're right, but we should stick together. Safer that way." Clem said with a small smile,
"Can't argue with that, you got any idea where we should go?" He asked as he stood up straight,
"Um..." Clem thought back to the first time she did all this, "We should wait till tonight, it'll be safer to move in the dark."
Lee nodded, "Sounds like a smart idea, we could wait it out in your tree house." Lee said pointing up to it, "Might be kinda hard with this leg but I'll make it."
"Well just go slow, come on." Clem said leading him back towards the rope ladder back into the tree house.
