-A few hours later -

Nick heard a noise coming from a bush near by.

He tighten his grip on his knife.

After Clementine's death, he’s been angry, he wants to violently kill any lurker that comes near him.

But, as it comes out of the bush. It wasn't a lurker, it was a dog.

The dog looked like a wolf but, was smaller than one. He had black fur with yellowish golden eyes and a red, ripped collar.

Nick was careful because he remembers that Clem was bitten by a dog and that dog wasn't nice.

“It's ok, boy...I’m not going to hurt you.”

The dog wasn't growling, it was friendly.

Nick smiled and let the dog lick his hand.

He got down and checked the dog’s ripped collar.

“Max...so that's your name?”

Max bark once as Nick smiled more.

“Well Max, let's take this collar off of you.” Nick said

He takes off the ripped collar and he puts it in his pocket.

He got up and started walking, Max followed him.

-----------------------------------------------------

Max barked and growled, Nick turned around.

He saw a lurker coming towards them.

He took out his knife and stabbed it in the head. The lurker fell to the ground, dead.

Nick puts away his knife and he smiles.

“Thanks for warning me, Max.” Nick said as he was petting Max.

Nick started walking again with Max behind him.

-----------------------------------------------------

Max heard something and growled.

“What is it, Max?” Nick asked

Max started running, Nick heard a guy cry out in pain.

Nick runs after Max and sees the dog was biting a guy's leg.

“Stupid dog!” The guy said

The guy hit and then, stabbed Max.

“Max!” Nick said

Nick runs at the guy and pulls him to the ground. Max let's go of the guy's leg.

The guy's knife falls out of reach.

Nick takes out his knife and stabs the guy in the head, killing him.

Nick runs over to Max and sees he is bleeding out.

“I-I'm sorry, Max.”

He stabs Max in the head, ending his suffering.

Nick cries a little as he hugs Max.

He puts Max under a tree.
