Clementine's POV

That was the last thing that came out of Violet's mouth before she stopped talking. My mouth slightly hung open as everyone's eyes turned to me. I stood up and slowly made my way back to my room.

"Clem!"

I heard everyone calling. I would talk to them soon but not right now. After everything I went through, that bitch is still alive. So many people died but she gets to live. It wasn't fair and I was pissed. I sat on my bed with my back to the wall as I laid my head in my hands. I heard a soft knock at the door but I didn't say anything wanting to be left alone. I heard the door open as I looked up. I saw Violet look in and I wiped my tears off as fast as I could.

"Clem..."

She walked up and sat next to me. As much as I wanted to be pissed I couldn't be, not at her. I grabbed her waist and hugged her as I angrily cried into her shoulder. She hugged me back tighter than I expected.

"Clem I am so sorry. I should've killed her right there. Now they want to come back for you. It's my fault."

"Vi...it is not your fault. It's Lily's. She's caused so much hurt but yet she gets to live? I don't even know how she survived the explosion. I threw her towards it."

Vi kissed my head,

"I don't know either but I can't lose you Clem. I can't. I won't let her do anything to you. I promise."

I looked up at her and smiled,

"I know you won't, and that's why I love you. Injured or not, whenever Lily decides to show up I'm going to kill her. I won't let her threaten you all anymore. I'm not Marlon."

Vi looked at me with worry,

"Clem babe I know you're not. We all know you're not. Just whenever she comes back, please be careful."

I nodded and put my hand on Violet's face with a soft smile. She leaned in and kissed me. I immediately calmed down and leaned into the kiss. AJ threw open the door and I pulled away from Violet out of breath but smiling, and so was she.

"Oops. Sorry Vi I didn't know you were in here. I just wanted to make sure Clem was ok."

"No AJ you're ok, we were just talking."

I snickered as she eyed me.

"What's up Goofball?"

He smiled and sat next to me,

"Nothing. You just looked really upset so I wanted to check on you."

"Thank you little guy."

He nodded and gave me a hug,

"I love you Clem."

"I love you too, Goofball."

"Good! Clem, can I go play with Tenn now?" "Of course. Go have fun."

He smiled and ran out of the room as fast as he ran in.

"Vi I'm tired."

"Oh yea I'll go. Get some rest Clem."

"Hey,"

I said, grabbing her wrist.

"I never said I wanted to sleep alone."

Vi smirked at me and laid down, allowing me to lay my head on her chest. I listened to the rhythm of her heartbeat and fell asleep soon after. I woke up still on Violet's chest as I felt her playing with my hair. I looked up and saw her smiling. She leaned down and kissed me on the forehead which made my face heat up. I smiled at her as I heard someone yell,

"CLEM! VI! GET OVER HERE!"

We shot out of bed and ran into the courtyard. I haven't run since my injury but it didn't hurt. I don't know if it was because I had rested like everyone said, or because of adrenaline but it didn't matter. I saw an abundance of walkers trying to get through the gate as Willy came running,

"Clem! There's a lot of them. I don't know where they came from but we have to deal with them. Now."

I nodded and pulled out my knife. Louis came running with 'Chairles' along with Vi and her cleaver. Ruby and Aasim followed. "Guys. I have an idea, but you're not going to like it."

They all looked at me as I grabbed a piece of broken wood off the ground.

"Just wait for my call ok? Trust me."

The group nodded as I climbed the watch tower. There were a lot of walkers, and I didn't know where they came from. I could tell that there were more but the rest were somewhere in the forest. It had to be from the boat incident. I looked at the group and said,

"Remember. Wait for my call then open the gate and attack."

They nodded as Willy stood at the gate ready to open it. I hopped over the wall and climbed down to the ground.

"CLEM!"

I heard Vi yell but I had to do this. I started yelling and ran towards the trees. I took the piece of wood and started banging on trees leading the walkers away from the gate. Once they were all off the metal and trying to chase me I yelled,

"NOW WILLY!"

I heard the gate starting to move as I smirked. I took my knife back out and started to kill as many as I could. I heard walkers dying by the school so I knew my friends were out here helping. I killed one walker as another snuck up behind me. It tackled me but I was able to kick him off. I stabbed him in the head and stood up to continue fighting off the herd.
