"Well hun, Its about time for you to go back to sleep so I can rewrap your leg." She layed Clem back down, Looking at ruby as she slowly fell asleep..
She woke up, staring up at the wall for a minute. Lee's voice, she heard Lee's voice. "Sweet-pea." She sat up, getting up and almost sprinting out the door, the hallway looking longer than usual. She stood there as she watched a fire start at the end of the hallway on each side of the doors. She walked to the doors, a gunshot. She froze, reaching for her knife, but it wasnt there. She ran to the end of the hallway, hesitantly opening the door, though it was burning hot. When she opened the door, She stood in shock as she saw Lee standing at the end of the hallway, looking how he did when he died. The bullet wound in his head leaking blood and his arm missing. "How could you let this happen, Clementine? I thought I taught you to be strong. THEY, taught you to be strong." He said, as everyone she knew who had died walking from behind him. "I.."
"We died for you Clementine. Now your just a liability, We thought you were stronger than this." They all spoke in union. She looked at all of them, tears rolling down her face. They appeared how they did when they died.
Kenny had the bullet wound in his chest, Rebecca was turning and had a bullet wound in her head. Sarah was missing half of her hip, and had a bite taken from her neck, Luke was blue, so blue. Nick was a walker, but he looked as he did when she killed him on the fence. Duck, Pete, Carlos. And everyone else she knew who had either died or she left.
"Nothing but a liability now.." She heard Lee say one last time.

She woke up, sitting upright crying and hyperventilating, Aj looked over at her and ran over "Clem? Whats wrong?" "N..Nightmare. I.. fine." She got her breathing under control and wiped her face. Aj looked at her. "Im.. Im sorry I cut your leg." "You didn't hurt me, goofball." She smiled at him, feeling comfortable now that he was there. Aj climbed onto the bed and hugs her carefully as to not touch her leg or hurt her. "Its okay, Clem." The two stay silent for a moment, as Clementine strokes his hair Aj looks up at her. "I have nightmares too. They're always about you." Aj sniffles. "What.. What happens in them?"
"Its always about what would happen if you left me. I always have bad dreams about you getting bit too badly so i cant save you, or you getting killed by bad people like Lily. Its scary." His voice cracked and he started to cry. "Shh, Its okay Aj. I won't ever leave you." She said as she rocked back and forth. Aj smiled up at her. "I hate nightmares. Clem chuckles and looks down at him "You got that right kiddo."
