The Broken But Strong

Weakness Can't Be Shown

(Violet's Pov)

I was woken up by some movement on the bed. I open my eye a bit and look to see Clementine as she moved in her sleep. I place my hand on her side gently and she seemed to have calmed down a bit at the touch. I watch her as she slept and she moved closer to me, I wrap my arms around her as best as I could and she has her head near my neck. I place my chin on the top of her head and she tried to move even closer to me. it was like she felt that I would go away, or at least whoever she was dreaming of would go away.

She sighs in her sleep and I gently move my hand to rub her back a bit. Was she having a bad dream? What was it about? Should I ask her? No that seemed a little too invasive, if she wants to tell me she can. I looked to the wall a bit and kept rubbing her back some more. I feel her move a bit and then I hear her mutter in her sleep.

"Hmm, Vi?" She asked and I move my head to look down to her.

"Yeah?" I asked and she looked down a bit. She stays silent and I keep rubbing her back gently. She looked to me and then back down as she put her face back into my neck.

"You're warm." She mutters and I chuckled a bit at this.

"I thought we agreed I was your personal heater." I tell her and she nods gently. I feel her move more onto me and I smile and just look to the wall a bit. I take a breath and closed my eyes a bit as I tried to go back to sleep. It wasn't long till Clem fell asleep and I was able to move a bit as I removed myself from Clementine and I went and grabbed another quilt for her. The room was a little cold and I went to put some more woods on the flame.

I look to the flames a bit and I look to the window. The snow had stopped falling which I was happy for. I then think as I look over to my bad and decided I wanted to surprise Clem with something. So I go and grabbed my bag and then the side arm and went out the door. I made sure it was locked up good before I left. I head down to the town and found some stuff we could have at the Cabin, some glass cups and there were a bunch of candles as well that we could use.

I looked around another shop and found a gun shop too. I go in and look around to find maybe a few bullets here and there and I find this really great looking gun. It was a revolver with a wooden handle and it still looked brand new. I mean it was in a display case and not out in the open. I test it out to make sure it was working well and it did. I smile and place the revolver in my back pocket and found some ammo for it. I place the boxes in my bag and then once done I head back out.

I was walking back to the cabin when I hear something snap. I look to the side a bit and looked to make sure it wasn't a Walker. I stay quiet until something comes up from behind tackling me to the ground. I turn just a bit before I was kicked in the gut and I groaned as I curled into myself.

"You fucking bitch." I hear and before I was kicked again and I grabbed the foot and pulled it making the person fall. I see that it's Till and I glare at her as I get up from the snow. I stumbled a bit before I am tackled from the front and slammed into the ground again. The glass breaking in my backpack making that crunching sound. I look up to her and I tried to punch her in the face but she grabbed my arm and slammed it into the ground.

"You're the fucking bitch she talked about? HA! YOU?!" She laughed and I tried to get her off of me. She grabbed something from her side and showed off her big hunters knife.

"You are the reason she doesn't want to be with me?" She asked as she put the knife to my cheek and I look to her as I feel the cold metal touching my skin. I tried to stay calm as I looked to her then to the knife.

"ANSWER ME!" She yelled.

"She... she and I aren't together we-."

"YOU ARE A LIAR!" She yelled and then I kicked her but she sliced my cheek. I could feel the blood as I hurry and get up. I throw my backpack to the side and went to grab my gun. As I pull it out of my pocket, I look up just as she punched me making me drop the gun.
