Run while you can...

Sacrificial Lamb

*Whizz*

*Clank*

Clem was keeping her whole body down as Minnie relentlessly opened fire at the cover of the broken down pickup. Looking to her right, she saw AJ keeping Tenn under cover from the gunfire, and to her left Louis looking completely distorted and in a daze. "LOUIS! Get the kids across that gap! I'll hold off the walkers and Minnie!" Yelled Clementine, she could barely hear herself from the groaning of the herd upon them. Louis nodded confidently as he crouch walked over to Tenn and AJ to usher them to the other side. Clem on the other hand raised her posture to face off against Minnie and the herd, using Marlon's Bow and what arrows she had left. The arrows whistled and hit their marks, leaving walkers lifeless, but it seemed to be inevitable. Clementine tried to spot Minnie through the herd having much difficulty as walkers filled the weak and fragile bridge, but another ghastly figure caught her eye. A very, very tall peculiar figure was marching among the walkers, head deformed in ways Indescribable, wearing a torn ragged blue overall of sort covered with dirt and dry stains of blood, some mutilated skin visible, and the most bizarre feature: a hockey mask. The mask seemed to be embedded on this thing's appearance, showing burnt marks on the outside ridges of the mask, and a red prism just above where the eyebrows would be. Suddenly a bullet whizzed past Clem's ear, making her throw herself down to the ground in panic, "I got them both across! Clem we have to go, NOW!" shouted Louis as he was about to leap himself.

Clementine nodded her head, Louis had leaped across the gap and made it safe with AJ and Tenn, but as soon as Clem was to get up from her posture, she heard a loud scream. A battle cry rather, to turn around and see Minnie leaping towards her axe overhead. Clementine Just moved out the way of the axe, but not far enough as it caught her left leg, slicing her ankle downwards. She screamed in agony as she collapsed weak and in serious amounts of pain, the axe cut deep into her leg, surpassing her boot and her trouser leg, "CLEMENTINE!" Louis, AJ and Tenn screamed. Clementine was in a state of shock, twitching and looking at the deep cut leading downwards to her foot, it was like you could almost see the bone itself it was that deep of a cut. "FUCKKKK" Clementine yelled in agony, as she wriggled and yelped in pain. But too soon to her realization, she looked up to see Minerva towering over her, fire axe in both hands, "I...will not let...you take them...FROM ME!" barked Minnie, sounding as if her mind was completely gone. "you try to take MY brother away from me, get all my friends killed, and take over what was my home?" she said with a sadistic grin. Clem at this point was scared shitless, unable to properly move, stuck in searing pain and having an axe raised above her? she was not ready to meet her fate. "I will make sure...you will hurt no one...ever...again" whispered minnie as she raised the axe over her head, ready to plunge it down towards Clementine. Clem closed her eyes, preparing for the worst, "NO!" yelled AJ, "DON'T!" screamed Louis.

*Thud*  *Thud*  *Thud*  *Thud*  *Thud*

Thundering footsteps were heard behind Minnie, just then Clementine heard the loudest possible screeching in her life. The thing, seen before within the herd was behind Minnie, both of it's worn, shredded, mutilated, a hint of bone hands at each side of Minnie's skull. Clementine could clearly see the figure now, it's head was that of a deformed grape of sort, looking at the mask she could see only one eye, glaring at Minnie with the most constricted pupil she had ever seen. The other eye was missing, replaced with  gooey, open flesh as it's replacement. It was like the mask had been fused onto the face of it, cuts and blood all around the mask embedded into the skin. she could make out 3 or 4 locks of hair behind the figure's head, not to mention what looked liked cysts all around the back of it's head too. It's trouser legs torn too, showing more mutilated skin, dusty black working boots as it's footwear.

Clementine was now hearing a slight crunching sound, as the figure was compressing hard against the side's of Minnie's head. AJ, Louis and Tenn from the other side were all in pure shock, "what the FUCK is that!?" Louis said with fear already at it's height. Clementine was frozen, not moving a single bone as she watched in terror as Minnie's head was practically being crushed. Minnie was still screeching, then out of nowhere a loud, deep crunch was heard, silencing Minnie completely. Clementine was suddenly hit with a spray of blood, as she saw Minnie's head completely crushed, the skull bearing no more strength, one of her eyeballs hanging out of it's socket, the other popping out her head. "MINNIE!" Tenn yelped, AJ and Louis completely silent, fear overcome. The figure, threw Minnie's body to the ground next to Clem with a thunderous thud, axe collapsing at the figure's feet, chest covered in Minnie's blood. It was now towering over Clementine as if she were the next lamb to the slaughter. Leg still throbbing, she had to use all her might to escape whatever the hell this thing was. She looked to her left to the corpse, seeing Minnie's pistol poking out of her holster, she then looked behind her at the gap, looking over towards the other three. The figure now slowly trudging towards Clementine, she had to act fast, "CLEM, JUMP NOW!".
