I woke up covered in sweat and gasping for breathe. I had, had a nightmare. Which was odd considering I hadn't had one in months.

Maybe it was because Daniel had died yesterday or maybe it was because I was scared that someone wouldn't come back alive from the big run today.

I got up and sat on the edge of my bed trying to catch my breathe.

The dream was of Lee. It was of him as a walker- he attacked me and tried to kill me, it ended with me putting a hammer in his head- the same thing he had done to my babysitter Sandra when we first met.

"Clem?"

I shot my head up and saw Bella on her bunk.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you" she said

"It's fine" I said "I didn't mean to wake you"

"You didn't" she mumbled "can't sleep"

"Yeah neither can I" I said in almost a whisper

I looked around the cell, I saw how the sun had risen and I could hear a few light voices outside our cell.

"How long has the sun been up?" I asked

"2 hours" Bella said

Great, that means breakfast was in a half a hour and I still had no idea what I was going to do about the key.

"It won't make sense to them" Bella said

"What?" I asked confused on what she was talking about

"It won't make sense" she said "If they find the key, then how would of Daniel gotten out?"

"Uh... He climbed the fence" I said

"Alone?" She asked

"Yeah alone" I said a little confidentiality to try and give her hope

"Why wouldn't he leave a note?" She asked

"Uh...um... Because he didn't have anyone to leave a note too" I  guessed

"What's about his roommate?" She asked

I sighed
"Bella I know this is hard" I said "but just breathe, everything will work out"

"What if it doesn't?" She asked

"Then.... Then we'll deal with it then" I said

I got up and started making my bed, when I was done I put my shoes on started getting ready.

Almost everbody had woken up by the time I was done, I know because I could hear everyone talking outside my cell about the big run today.

"Get up" I said

"Do I have too?" She asked

"Yeah" I said as I let out a sigh "It helps if you get your mind off of it"

She groaned and slowly climbed down from the top bunk.

She sat down on my bed and put on her shoes and got ready.
