The Walking Dead: Eye For An Eye: Sequel

The Secret In Silence

(Violet's Pov)

I kept looking at Clem as she closed the door and came up to me and I got up from the bed and looked down at her.

"Violet, are you ok?" She asked me and I just kept on looking down at her.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked as she looked up to me more.

"Did you hit your head or something? You're acting strange and I'm getting worried about you." She says as she cupped my face in her hands and I took a breather.

"Yes, I am fine Clementine, no need to worry I'm just tired or something, but I'm ok." I tell her and she stares at me a bit, she was still worried and I sigh gently at this.

"What do I have to do to convince you I'm ok?" I asked and she looked to my gun and I roll my eyes a bit as I move my hands from her and go and grab the gun and hold it out to her.

"Go on take it if you're worried, I don't mind it." I tell her and she looked to me as she took my rifle and unloaded it and I nod as I take a seat on the bed again and rub my eyes with the palm of my hands. I look up to see Clementine as she was when I first met her bandage on her head, no baseball cap, those beautiful golden like eyes staring at me as she looked at me from my place on the walls of Ericson, and I shake my head a bit as I lay back on the bed and cover my eyes a bit as I take in a breath.

"I uh... Vi, you know that wasn't Tenn..... Right?" she asked as I sat back up.

"What?"

"The body... that we just buried?" She asked. I was a bit confused and I thought a bit.

"Hmm, right... it wasn't him?" I asked and she nods, and I think.

"So, Tenn. wasn't a walker?"

"No, he never was one." She explained and I think a bit.

"But it looked like him though." I tell her and she takes a seat next to me.

"I told you about Kenny, right?" She asked and I nodded my head a bit.

"Yea, he was part of your first group, he had a son... Why?"

"... When Duck died... Kenny saw a walker in the attic of this house we got to in Savanna, you remember the house." She says and I nod remembering we had been there at one point when we drove into Georgia, right after the farm and when we took care of Lee.

"Well... the walker kind of looked like Duck, and Kenny couldn't kill it, the uh... the boy died in the attic and... Lee took care of it... Kenny couldn't do it, he just sat and watched it... AJ told me that's what you did was just sit and watch the walker even as it came up to you." She says and I look to her.

"It didn't bite me though."

"That... that doesn't make things better Violet, the only reason it didn't bite you was because AJ had to shoot it, do you know how scared he was? How scared I was when he told me?" She asked and I looked to the floor and then the wall, I couldn't look her in the eyes.

"I'm guessing he was terrified and, so are you?" I asked.

"You need to talk to me about this Violet... what if the walker did bite you?" She asked.

"I don't know... I honestly thought nothing of it, I mean... you and AJ did fine before you met me, and I knew you two could take care of Mary so." I muttered and I felt a tight grip on my hand as I looked to see her hand holding mine. I look up to her to see tears in her eyes, wide with not only sadness but worry she looked terrified at what I said too.

"How could you say that?"

"I mean it's true, you took care of yourself way before you met me and the others, you took care of AJ too." I tell her.
