The Broken But Strong

Fear Makes You Realize The Truth

(Violet's Pov)

The sounds of the water gently hitting the canoe was a peaceful sound. No harsh winds, no storms coming, nothing bad. It was just one of the rare days where we could all relax and not worry much. I look over to Clementine as she was helping AJ cast out his line and I look back to my fishing pole a bit then to the waters. I feel the little boat tip a bit as Clementine came over to me and I hand her, her fishing pole and she nods in thanks. Guess you can say we had a silent agreement that this moment was just to be quiet. I look to the line a bit and feel the wind as we just sat here.

I feel Clementine move a little closer to me and I look down to her and she seemed content so I didn't say anything. We had caught a few fish and we set them in the cooler that we filled with some water, when I put the last fish in the cooler we rowed back to shore and I helped Clem out and then AJ. I grabbed the cooler and AJ wanted to carry it but he realized the cooler was a bit big and heavy for him. Clem giggles a bit and I smile at her as I carried the cooler and we head back to the cabin. Once inside AJ went and got the knives so we could clean and cut the fish for dinner tonight and I think about what we should make.

AJ decided to go outside for a bit as I cleaned the fish, Clem of course telling him to be careful as she comes over to help me. When we finished, I looked to the guts of the fish and we go and throw it out far from the cabin so Walkers wouldn't come close to us and our home. I look to the trees a bit as the wind blew again and I chuckled a bit as Clem went and picked up one of the many leaves that fell to the ground.

"Having fun?" I asked.

"Hmm, I just think today is a day for rest and relaxation don't you think?" She asked and I nod a bit and we head back to the cabin. We head back inside and get to work on making some fish stew and as that was cooking, I tell Clementine that I was going to go check on the garden real quick. I head out there and check to see the plants thriving and I sigh a bit in relief, at least now we won't have to go to the school to get vegetables once we get the garden flourishing. I think a bit as I look to the house and then head back inside.

"Hey mind if I go and get Marlon?" I asked Clem as she turned to look at me.

"What for?" She asked.

"Well, he was able to get the electricity working back at the school, want to see if he can help us get some here you know." I suggested and she thinks a bit.

"Sure, better than using the fireplace on summer nights." She says and I nod as I go over to her and kissed her head gently. I then go and grabbed my rifle and head on to the school. I passed AJ as he was coming back with some rocks he had found and I pat him on the head and asked if he wanted to come with me. He agrees and runs to the cabin and I wait for him. When he came back we head on over to the school and Willy let's us in and we head over to Marlon.

"Hey what's up you two?" He asked.

"Nothing much was wondering if we could see if we can get some electricity to the cabin." I tell him.

"Sure I can help with that." He says and I nod.

"Hey before you guys head off, mind getting something from the town?" Omar asked and I nod as he hands me a list and I read it over.

"Sure, we can do that." I say and he thanks us and I set the note in my vest pocket. When Marlon comes back we head to the cabin and he looks around a bit and we find the breaker bocks and checks the wires just to make sure they were good. Some of the wires he found were worn and so we had to head into town to get some supplies.

"Hmm, lunch smells good." I comment as I look over to Clementine.

"Hope so, so you guys heading to town?" She asked and I nod.
