I woke up to the sight of pitch black. The window was not there. I was in a small, enclosed space, by myself, in the cold. Well I could feel that the air was warm, but my skin was ice.
"Clementine. Stop. Please don't go. I can't... do this without you." Louis' voice echoes in my mind.
"Louis?!" I cry.
"Clementine... you betrayed me. You left me when I needed it the most."
"Louis! Help me!" I scream. I try to sit up but I fall on the floor and pain explodes in my leg.
I scream in pain as my leg throbs with an ache worse than any I've felt."Clementine. I didn't deserve this. You're no better than Marlon." His voice overpowers my mind, and I try to tell, but it would do no good. Just when I give up, the pitch black fades into the colour of midnight, and I'm in my room, in Louis' arms.
"It's ok, Clem." He whispers, "just the same old nightmare." He kisses me and the cold leaves my body once again.
"It's ok, Clem. No one's hurting you, not while I'm here."
"What about when you're not here?" I say, my voice hoarse.
"I won't leave you." He says, "I promise." Part of me doesn't believe him, but part of me wants to. But everything I love turn to dust. I don't want Louis to share that fate."I-I'm... I'm scared." I've never been this vulnerable before, especially with the broken leg.
"It's ok. We're all scared, clem." Louis holds me tight and I hear his heartbeat.
He lays me down on the bed carefully, making sure that my leg doesn't hurt. I close my eyes and accept his kiss.
Just then, AJ walks into the room. We break up the kiss instantly.
"Look after her, ok, little guy?" He kneels down to talk to AJ.
AJ nods. Louis leaves the room, but not before looking back to make sure I'm ok. I close my eyes.
"Goodnight, AJ." I say.
"Goodnight."~~~
I wake up to the sound of gunfire. AJ isn't there, and I hear the crackles of a flame. I want to move, but all I can do is crawl back in my bed.
"Anyone?!" I shout, but to no avail. I'm alone, inside the building, fire surrounding me. The door is slightly ajar, and I can see amber strands of fire on the other side. More gunshots, more shouting outside.
And then I start to distinguish the voices:
Violet is shouting something..
"Louis! Where are you going?!"
No answer from Louis. And then the door bursts open, and Louis emerges, his coat cinder on every edge and fires still burning at the bottom. I opens the closet to reveal a toolbox, from which he takes a screwdriver from."Louis? What's happening?" I ask.
"I'm taking you out of here. He slots the crew driver into a nail and turn it viscously. After 4 nails done, the bars drop like a stone into the floor. He picks me up and steps onto the desk. I feel myself being put I thick grass. He climbs out, and picks me up again. I feel like crying, but once again, it would do no good. Louis runs as fast as he can towards the gates, but out of nowhere, his shoulder explodes in blood.He falls over, but turn himself so that I'm above him. I roll off him and scream as my leg starts to hurt again. A man wearing sunglasses approaches me. He kicks Louis, and when Louis doesn't answer, he steps over him and comes to me.
"No.." I breathe. He grabs my arm and starts dragging me across towards the main building. When he gets there, he speaks to his friend:
"That one's dead. This one's got a broken leg.".
"She's no use. Shoot her."
"Alright."
I feel a barrel on my forehead. I gasp for air, prepared for my last breath.
"Wait!"
I look up, to see a face i never thought I'd ever see again.
"C-Clementine?" Lilly looks down.
"Lilly?"
I say this but I'm not listening. I'm too focused on remembering what the man said.
'That one's Dead, and this one's got a broken leg'.
Oh, god no.Louis broke his promise.
