Summary
“It’s so easy to think that this world is a little less dangerous when you’re one of the dangerous things in it,” Violet says quietly. Her words are cryptic as they hang in the air and she slants her gaze over to the brunette. Her mouth tries to smile, but the curve to her lips dies before it can even fully form and she drops her eyes back down to her bare feet, watching her toes press and curl into the furrows. “When the truth is, it isn’t. It just becomes harder and a hell of a lot more dangerous because the stakes are so much higher.”
Over the years that she’s spent living within in a world hellbent on killing her, Clementine has grown accustomed to feeling scared. Grown to crave that little touch of adrenaline that surges through her body every time that she leaves the school’s grounds or grappled with a walker; it keeps her senses keen and her wits sharp which, in turn, keeps her alive.
So, why is Clementine so surprised to learn that in a world where the dead still roam, there are other dangerous anomalies existing alongside her and the rest of humanity. And why is she surprised to find herself caught up in the middle of yet another struggle for survival.
