Alone Again - TWDG/TWD

Arc 4: Chapter 1

* This takes place back in the cabin, with the group still alive, before S2 E2. After the 'go with Nick' ending. Also this is the final arc of the series! (Sorry if that was hard to understand)

My eyes examine my surroundings. Its all a blur. I can't tell what's real and what's not. Luke's here though. He stares into my eyes with a confused look on his face.

"Clem? You okay?" He asks.

I look down at myself.

"My arm!" I jump.

Luke looks startled. "What?"

"It's here! I have my arm!" I rejoice.

"What are you talkin' about?"

"My arms back!" I smile.

"Clem, you've had your arm this whole time." He says confused.

"What?"

"What's goin' on with you?" Luke asks.

"Your back too!" I finally realize hugging him tight.

Luke hugs me back gently.

"What do you mean?"

"You died, Carl died... I died." I say.

"Who's Carl?" he asks.

"My boyfriend?" I say confused.

"Clem, you've been asleep this whole time. There's no one named Carl here." he says.

"You're not shot." I gasp.

"What are you talking about?!" Luke asks slightly concerned.

"Arvo shot you." I say.

"Clem, your concerning me a little bit."

"So we never ran into Arvo, Mike and Bonnie?" I ask.

"No, I don't even know who Mike and Arvo are." he says.

"Wait you know Bonnie? And does the name Allison ring a bell?" I ask.

"Yes, I know Bonnie." He says.

"She was in my dream? How do you know her?" I ask.

"She was in a group I was with before. We escaped though she stayed.

"She was in my dream though." I say confused.

"Weird shit happens Clem, you could of even met her in the past." he says.

"Maybe." I say very confused.

"You were dreaming this whole time. There's no Carl, no Allison, none of that happened." he assures me.

"This is too crazy! It felt like it was real!" I say shocked.

"You slept almost all day."

I slowly begin to adjust back to reality.

Everything was just a dream.

I get up and look around, observing my surroundings. I'm in a cabin, I see Alvin walking past us entering the kitchen.

"Everybody's alive!" I exclaim.

Luke gives me a troubled look.

"No Kenny?" I ask.

"Kenny?"

"Never mind." I say disappointedly.

"Alright then."

I get up and walk into the kitchen. I see Alvin, Rebecca and Carlos gathered around the counter disguising the weapon supply.

"Hey Clementine." Alvin smiles.

I smile and nod.

"You ready to get goin?" Luke asks as he follows me into the kitchen.

"Go where?" I ask.

"We gotta look for Nick. You remember where he was right?" He asks.

"Yeah." I say as I begin to remember being trapped in a shed with him for a whole day.

"Alright, let's go." he leaves the cabin.

We walk for a good amount of time. Neither of us say a word.

"Where was he?" He asks breaking the silence.

"Just up here." I point.

I look at both of my arms, moving them around. I see the bandage and blood stains from the dog attack. It seemed like so long ago.

I can feel Luke's presence watching me. I look up at him and give him a small smile.

He smiles back.

"Here it is." I say.

Luke pulls out his machete and slowly approaches the door. He looks at me and gives me a nod, giving the command to go.

I slowly open the door and look around for Nick. He's not in here.

"Luke..." I say timidly.

He peaks though the door.

"Damn it!"

"He shouldn't be far." I say.

"If he's not already dead." Luke puts his hand on his head and runs it through his hair.

"Nick?!" I shout.

"Shhh! Keep it down!" Luke covers my mouth silencing me.

Luke walks deeper into the woods, I follow. I can hear him mumbling to himself worriedly.

"Why are you so worried? I'm sure he'll make it back." I say trying to stay positive.

"Cause I've known Nick since I was a kid. We've been best friends for as long as I can remember, I care a lot about him." Luke says getting all mushy.

"I use to have a best friend..." I start to say.

Luke didn't really seem interested to hear what I had to say so I just continued to search for Nick.

I follow Luke deeper and deeper into the woods, I had no idea where we were. Luke suddenly stops walking and kneels down to the ground observing a trail of blood.

"Aw, shit." Luke takes his machete out again and follows the trail.

I follow closely, I don't have a weapon so he's all I rely on at the moment.

The trail leads to a big pool of blood, fresh.

Luke looks around the area, I look too. I spot a figure in the distance.

"Look." I point towards it.

We slowly approach it. Its slightly foggy so I can't tell if it's a person or a walker or Nick.

"N-Nick?" Luke says.

The response was a growling walker hungry for flesh.

"Fuck!" Luke takes the machete and slices it through the walkers head.

"Was that Nick?" I ask.

"I can't tell." Luke looks at it closer.

"No."

"Where could he be?" I ask.

"He could of headed back to the cabin." Luke says.

"We would of seen him out here by now." I say.

"Yeah, alright let's head back. It's getting dark anyways." Luke says.
