“Nick…”

Sarah was still crying.

She rolled up her pants, there was a lot of blood. And it was dripping down her leg.

No…

Nick eyes were wide.

Not only are her legs broken but…

Sarah is bitten...but how? When?

Maybe when that lurker grabbed my leg? Did it bite her first?

She was in pain but, I thought it was just because of her legs.

No...no…

Damnit…

Nick rolls down her pants and looks at her.

“Sarah, I will be right back, ok?”

She nods her head, he gets up and runs towards the others to help them.

Nick sees that Luke was able to pull Jane up. Rebecca was still pushing with Kenny's help.

“Oh shit, they're climbing up!”

“What!?”

“They're gonna make it up here.”

“Fuck!”

“Does this shit ever end!?”

“We need to break the rest of the deck.”

“She’s right! Drop the whole deck!”

“Drop the...are you fucking crazy?”

“How are we gonna do that!?”

“I don't know, just look around!”

Clementine looks up “Look!”

“That’ll work! We bust that, the whole thing comes down.”

Clementine looks at Nick “Boost me!”

Nick nods his head and puts Clem on his shoulders. She starts hitting the support cables with her hatchet.

“They're getting closer!”

“Move it!”

“Come on!” Mike said

“I’m going as fast as I can!”

The whole thing drops and Nick backs up, he puts Clementine down.

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

Nick and Clem look down and see all of the lurkers.

Everything was quiet.

“Oh...oh no.”

Everyone walks in and see Kenny holding the baby. It was not moving or making noise.

Rebecca was breathing and Kenny had a sad look at his face.

“Kenny? What…”

The baby coughs and starts crying.

Nick was smiling but, his smile faded when he looked at Sarah.

She is bitten and he didn't want her to suffer anymore.

He walks out for a minute to think.

“What are you going to do?”

Nick turned around and sees Jane.

“...she has broken legs and she's bitten.” Jane said

“How did you…?”

“I saw it happen...what are you going to do?” She asked again

Nick ignored her and he went inside, he picks up Clementine’s gun. He walked towards Sarah, and he pulled her up, he walks out.

He looked at Jane “I’m putting her out of her misery.” He whispered

Nick sees Jane nod her head and then, he goes down the stairs.

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

Nick finds an open area and puts her on the ground.

“N-Nick…?”

“It's okay, Sarah.”

He hugged her and then puts her down, gently.

“Close your eyes.”

She did what she was told and closed her eyes.

Nick takes out Clem’s gun and aimed it at Sarah's head.

He had a sad look on his face and he looked like he was about to cry.

He pulled the trigger and her head fell, she was dead.

He gets up and puts the gun back into his pocket.

Nick starts walking back to the others.

He looks up and sees Clementine.

“Clem…”

“She was bitten?” she asked

Nick nods his head and pulls his hat down over his face.

“She was a good friend…” she said

Nick puts his hat up again and he wipes his eyes, he nods his head slowly.

“Let's go…” he said

Clementine nods her head and they both start walking back.

Nick was thinking to himself.

I’m sorry, Sarah…
