Plot

Sometime after the end of Book One, it is revealed that the plane Clementine's Group was flying crashed onto Cape Breton Island. Clementine tells Ricca that she dreamt of being up in the sky, wondering if they could live up there. The group, laying on the roof of a house, talk about their situation. Clementine insists that they keep walking until they hit the coast. Olivia insists that Clementine's optimism is because of Ricca, which the latter denies.

The next morning, the group spot a rabbit, which Ricca chases after. Olivia tells Clementine that she is bad luck, believing that she's holding Clementine and Ricca back. They are soon interrupted when Ricca comes running away from a herd. The group covers themselves in walker guts.

A little while later, Clementine's prosthetic begins to hurt, due to her running out of willow bark. Ricca tries to get her to take it easy, but Clementine insists that they keep moving. Ricca says her glasses aren't making a difference in her vision. Clementine tells her to hold her hand and she'll be her eyes. They're interrupted when Olivia is captured by a couple of French men. They tell Clementine and Ricca to hand over their weapons. They feign handing them over and attack the two men. During the struggle, Olivia gets cut under her ear and Clementine on the leg. The three escape and patch up Olivia's wound. As the three lay down, Ricca asks "why is every day so hard?". Clementine says she'll change the world.

The next morning, the group trudge through the wood, when they hear more of the people from the previous night. They duck down until they're gone, but then Clementine comes down with a fever, though she insists that she can keep going. While, Ricca and Olivia carry her, Ricca sings Clementine a song before the latter blacks out. The two spot a boat and Olivia goes into the water to call out for help. Olivia calls her over and they both call out for help. Clementine goes into a dream sequence, coming face to face with Amos, asking him if it's time for her to go. Amos tells her "not even close". Back in the real world, Clementine's unconscious body is swept up by the tides and she starts going under. She's soon pulled out by Ricca and hears voices talking about her condition.
