The Walking Dead: Eye for an Eye

A Promise To Be Made

(Violets Pov)

As I cut Clems' leg blood was pouring out and she began to scream in pain as AJ tried his best to hold her down, I stopped and pushed her back down a bit and she looked at me with tears in her eyes and I looked at her more.

"I'm almost done, just a few more and it'll be done ok?" I asked and she nods a bit as she lays back again and I go back and cut a few more times, she screams again but doesn't move I look to her hand and see her Knuckles have turned white and I look to AJ as he cried and I finished up.

"The knife." I said and he ran to get it and I looked at Clem as I moved her now severed leg off the mattress. AJ came back in and handed me the knife and he held Clem down once more and I placed the burning red blade to her open wound and I almost gaged at the burning flesh smell. She screamed again and again as I closed the wound as best as I could. Once done she had passed out and I began to grab a clean shirt and I wrapped it on Clems' stump. I worked on her other wounds too as she slept, I rubbed her head a bit from the sweat and I looked to AJ as he held Clementine's hand in his.

"She's going to be ok right?' He asked and I nod. I hope so, god I hope so.

"Y-Yea, she'll be fine." I mumbled as I looked to her, he left and got a clean cloth and had it dampened by the water and I placed it on her head gently as I rubbed the back of her head a bit.

"She came back.... Louis was wrong and he left." AJ said and I looked to him.

"AJ not now just.... Uh.... Find something for Clem to eat, maybe cut the apples up for her?" I suggested and he nods as he goes and grabs two apples and I go back to the door and barricade it once more and I looked to her as she laid on the mattress. I saw AJ go over to her and sit by her and I went over to them and grabbed Clems' severed leg and I almost gaged as I took it outside and threw it behind the fence so she couldn't see it when she woke up. I went back inside and rubbed my face a bit as I watched AJ talk to her.

"And Violet taught me this cool trick where you boil water to make it good to drink, we can stay here to, this was Violets old home, before the Walkers, we worked on the fence to, well mostly Mom but I tried to help, we made a garden too there's apples, you said you loved apples." AJ says and I go over to him and I sit in the recliner as he looked up at me and I looked down at him a bit and rubbed his head.

"You bothering Clem?" I asked.

"No, just telling her what we've done so far." He says and leans in a bit.

"I didn't tell her the others left though." He whispers and I nod a bit.

"We can tell her when she wakes up and is healthy." I said and he nods a bit. I get up from the recliner and lay it back and I grab a pillow and blanket and I look at AJ.

"Alright, I got watch tonight, you need to sleep." I said as I set the pillow on the head of the chair and he looked at me.

"But."

"Nope, you want to be wide awake for Clementine, right?' I asked and he nods and slowly gets in the chair and I cover him up. Yea he's old enough to do it himself but come on.

"Night." He says and I nod.

"Night." I said and I watched him as he slept. I looked down at Clementine as I rubbed her head gently as she sweat.

'God, I hope I got the wound in time, fuck how long ago did you get bit?' I thought as I wet the rag again and placed it on her head. I watched her chest rise and fall with every breath she took and I kept a watchful eye on her just in case. It was hours before the sun rose up and I watched it as it came through the windows and I looked back down to Clementine as she squinted her eye a bit from the sun, so I gently took the wet rag and placed in on her good eye so the sun wouldn't bother her anymore.
