Chapter 1

Clementine's POV

"Clementine?" A mysterious voice called out from behind me, it took a second, then I recognised it, how could I forget; Lee! "Lee?" Tears started to fill my eyes, he wasn't alone. Everyone from all of my groups that I had lost. Everyone was there, I knew I was dreaming. Their smiles of love and hope then turned to looks of anger, hatred and disgust. My stomach flipped, "How could you do this to us Clementine, you did this to us, you KILLED us!" I wanted to throw up, my chest tightened and burned. "I… I… I didn't mean to. I… I wanted to help you but I… I couldn't!" I felt the tears were now streaming down my face. I saw a bright flash.

I didn't know what was happening, I just know that I wanted it to be over. "I'll miss you" "Me too." I heard Lee and my younger voices. I turned around bang! I saw the gun go off "NO!" I screamed, before I could do anything there was another flash. We were back on the ice, "Luke." I whispered, then he and I fell in I saw him drowning. Again another flash, it was Sarah's death this time, Jane's, Nick's. After that I realised, I was watching everyone I loved die over and over on replay. "STOP, PLEASE! I DIDN'T MEAN TO! I TRIED TO HELP YOU!" I was a mess, sitting on the floor, begging for this torture to come to an end, watching everyone I loved die.

I woke up with a start, I shot up quick as lightning. I was sweating bullets, I was breathing so hard and fast that my chest ached. "Shit." I mumbled, I then immediately whipped my head towards where A.J. was supposed to be sleeping. He was still there, sleeping in his usual fetal position facing the door. I knew there was no way I was getting back to bed so I grabbed my hat and denim jacket and headed towards the courtyard.

The campfire that was burning brightly from dinner, was now barely letting off any embers. As I sat next to the 'fire' I found myself thinking back to my nightmare. "Is that how you really feel I whispered as I raised my head up to face the starry, pitch black sky. I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face, then I heard a whimper that came from Rosie who was now sitting next to me. "I'm okay girl." I say to her as I pet her behind her ears, the tears continued to stream down my face. I couldn't bother tho wipe them away, instead i laid my head onto my knees and continued to quietly sob. It felt good to finally cry, it feels like forever since I last cried. I found that the tears just kept coming and only got worse, my once quiet sobs were now almost loud enough to attract walkers and wake the kids up.

Rosie wasn't by my side anymore, "I'm sorry." I whispered again as I slowly faced the 'fire'. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen," I continued "I… I tried, I tried to help you." My throat was too dry to finish, I buried my head in my hands and sighed. "I don't know if you guys are up there, or if you can hear me, or see me." I start, turning my head to the sky. "I don't think you are… but if you are, I need you. I can't do this alone. I'm trying to help everyone and to raise A.J., trying to get everyone back, but I don't know how. If you were here I know we would still have everyone… and I… I, I just miss you all, a lot." It was all I could say, I feel pathetic and weak. I should be able to say more, but I can't. I heard someone approaching me, but I didn't dare to turn around to find out. "Clem?"

Louis. "Clem? C'mon look at me." He said me, as he sat down next to me, I still didn't budge. "It's okay you know." I know he heard me, he probably thought I was pathetic. "Clem, please." His voice was slightly desperate, I slowly turned my head to face him. "Want to talk about it?" He said to me as he wiped a tear off my cheek with his thumb. "I don't know, I…" I know he wants to help, but I wasn't sure, he probably would think it's dumb. Before I could say anything he spoke. "Nightmare?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around me I rested my head against his shoulder and nodded. I don't even know why I'm so hesitant, it's not like he was a stranger, this was my boyfriend.

I told him everything that happened in my nightmare, it felt nice to talk to someone about it. The sun was slowly beginning to rise, I assumed it was around five ish in the morning. "Thanks." I said to him before he could say anything else. "For what?" He questioned me, he almost sounded surprised. "Listening." It was all I could say, I mean what else. "Anytime." He finished, I lifted my head off of his shoulder and gave him a kiss on the cheek as a thank you. He looked at me with a large smile and giggled, one which I returned.
