Chapter 4: After the Arrow

The residents of the school remained ready behind the tables for a few hours, until they were sure no attack would soon follow. The sunset above the courtyard had slowly faded as night finally arrived and the only source of illumination keeping the school grounds lit was the still smoldering bonfire. Fear had set into their hearts the moment the arrow came, as it could have hit any one of them...as it nearly came close to killing Clementine, but thankfully missed. After what felt like half an hour of waiting, the adrenaline had slowly faded but was still livid as Clem called out softly to get everyone's attention.

"I'm going to take a quick peek. Nobody move out of cover until I say so." The younger teenage girl stated softly, informing her friends that she would take a quick look outside the main gate to make sure they were completely clear of any danger and ordered to stay behind cover until she gave the all clear, which Louis and the others nodded in agreement.

After slowly sneaking out from behind cover, she crept up to the left side of the gate, glanced from behind the wall and to her complete bafflement...saw absolutely nothing. No signs Lilly and her people coming to attack their home or the shooter who fired the arrow: nothing, complete silence. Knowing they needed to be absolutely sure, the African American teenage girl had cautiously made her way over to the lookout platform, climbed up the ladder and stole a look over the walls. Everything seemed ordinary and quiet, save for a few walkers stumbling about. After thoroughly scanning the entire forest, Clem had signaled to the others that it was safe to come out of hiding.

Once they saw no further signs of an upcoming attack, Louis and the others stepped out of from behind their hiding spots and gathered around as the African American teenage girl walked back to them.

"Doesn't look like they're coming for us tonight." Clementine stated, as she gently rubbed the back of her head while noticing the confused and scared looks her friends had on their faces after the initial attack...and couldn't really blame them.

A thousand thoughts ran through their heads. They could've lost someone from the arrow or it could've merely maimed/wounded one of them, leaving them seriously injured for a short or long period time: which would leave them shorthanded for the true battle. Before ever learning about the raiders, Violet and the others never had to defend themselves against hostile groups, only against walkers. Coming face to face with the reality that it was actually happening had helped them open up their eyes to the world they lived in. But deep down, all they wanted was for this nightmare to end so they could go back to living their lives in peace without dangerous people attempting to hurt them ever again.

"I hope they don't." Ruby replied, clearly hoping that the raiders wouldn't show, especially since the arrow had obviously struck a raw nerve deep down inside most of them of the kids.

"It's a good thing none of us got hurt. We're being threatened for no reason!" Mitch growled, showing he was relieved that the mysterious shooter was a bad shot: due to not anybody...but was extremely pissed that he and his friends were being attacked by hostile survivors who simply wanted what they had and were eager to spill blood to get it!

"Well what matters is no one got killed. That's what counts right?" Omar stated while pointing out that despite the near death experience, everyone in the group was still alive and that earned several nods in agreement.

"Clem, you're bleeding!" AJ cried out in shock as he instantly remembered the still visible scar on the left side of his mother's cheek and fresh blood was pouring down from the grazed skin.

"It's not as bad as it looks kiddo. I'll live." Clementine stated softly, reassuring her boy that the scar she just received from the arrow wasn't life threatening and would fade away over time.

"You sure? I can always stitch and clean it up later before we head the hay." Ruby asked as she and the others were still surprised that the arrow had actually managed to hit her and offered to clean the scar while stitching it up, to prevent it from getting infected later on throughout the night.

"Guys...I'm alright, really. This kind of danger comes with the territory, we all know that." The younger teenage girl stated soft and firmly, appreciating her friends concern about the scar on her face and reassuring them wasn't all that bad, which they softly nodded in agreement.

"Clem, I'm thinking that we should rotate teams for lookout duty for tonight. Half of us should stay out here, in case whoever just attacked us decides to come back while the others try to catch some shut eye." Louis stated while proposing that they should take turns rotating volunteers for lookout duty just for the night: half of the group would remain awake to keep an eye out for Lilly and her people or the mystery attacker while the others tried to get some sleep.

"That's a good idea Louis. I could use some sleep right now. So for tonight Omar, Aasim and Vio…Violet?" Clementine stated, as she completely agreed with the older African American teenage boy's suggestion on swapping volunteers for lookout duty and was about to recommend who would turn in for bed...only to be taken back to see her blonde girlfriend walking away.

Violet had silently walked towards the dorms, opened the door and disappeared behind it while her girlfriend and friends stared completely surprised/baffled by her sudden change in behavior.

"What happened to her?" Aasim asked as he and the others stared speechless from what they just witnessed, as they never once saw the older blonde walk away so rattled before.

Louis simply shrugged, as he never once saw Violet in the state she currently was in the entire time he and the others knew her and Tenn simply had a saddened look on his face, as he had never seen his surrogate older sister that way before either and was deeply worried about her. While she was indeed surprised/stunned that her girlfriend had walked out on them...Clem couldn't truly blame Violet, as she knew what had caused the older blonde to be so consumed with despair: the arrow. But before she could after her blonde girlfriend, the younger African American teenage girl knew she needed to calm and reassure the rest of her friends first.

"I know what just happened tonight was very scary: the way whoever just attacked us had showed up to our doorstep. That arrow that could've killed any of us. But I also know that we can beat this. They're not going to come into our home and take any of us away. This is our home and we will defend it and everyone inside it. We're going to show them what happens when they fuck with us." Clem stated while glancing around so she had Louis' and the others attention, pointing out that them coming under attack tonight was very disturbing, as anyone of them could've been killed by the arrow that nearly hit her...but reminded her friends that they couldn't afford to back down and it wasn't just the school they were fighting for: they were fighting to protect each other.

The others nodded and smiled in agreement, as the younger teenage girl's speech had given them all the reassurance and inspiration they needed for the actual battle against the raiders.

"We're going to protect our home." AJ added with a renewed look of determination showing on his face.

"Let's do this. Omar, Aasim, Vi and Clem can catch up on some sleep. Even Tenn and AJ, if they want. The rest of us will be on lookout here." Louis stated as he knew it was up to him to act as the temporary leader: having Clementine, Omar, Violet, Aasim, AJ and Tenn head on to bed while he and the others remained awake to keep an eye out for the raiders before turning his attention to the arrow embedded in the table.

"This was too close. We're not going to let them take another life of ours." He added, agreeing with both the younger teenage girl and her boy on how they wouldn't allow Lilly and her people take anybody away and turn them into child soldiers.

While Omar and Aasim headed towards the dorms to turn in for bed, Clementine knelt down in front of AJ and gave him a hug which he automatically returned.

"You okay?" She asked through the hug which the younger boy answered by nodding, showing he was unharmed and was simply glad that she was alright as well...despite the scar that was left on her cheek from the arrow.

"Good. You and Tenn should try to get some sleep. Louis and the others will call for us if they need help." The younger teenage girl stated, sending her son and Tenn off to bed and how the others would come get them if they needed to switch out on lookout duty, which the two younger boys nodded in agreement.

"Say AJ...would it be alright if I slept in your's and Clem's room just for the night?" The older scar faced boy asked, wondering if he could spend the night with his best friend in his and Clementine's dorm room...as he could tell that Violet needed her personal space from what they just went through.

"Sure Tenn, I don't mind." The younger African American boy answered, showing he was perfectly fine with the 12 year old boy spending the night in his and Clem's room just for the night as he was also worried about Violet's well being.

"I'll go check on Violet." Clem stated as she and Louis turned to each other, informing the older African American teenage boy that she would check on her older girlfriend, which he nodded to show he understood be she and the two younger boys entered the dorm building.

Clementine walked through the empty hallways, where she stood outside Violet's and Tenn's dorm room and knocked on the door. After a brief moment of silence, she heard the older blonde's voice from the opposite side of the closed door.

"Come in." Violet answered softly, granting the younger teenage girl permission to step inside her bedroom.

She opened the door to find the room dimly lit by a candle and the older blonde sitting despondently on her bed. Clem closed the door behind her and walked over to her blonde girlfriend, sitting down next to her. Violet reached for the younger teenage girl's hand and clasped it in hers.

The blonde teenage girl sat in silence as she tried to make a coherent flow of her thoughts. She had just watched an arrow miss Clementine's face...and it could've killed her just as easily. It could've killed anyone there. It was all too real for her. When Clem had confessed her feelings for her, she had felt herself again. She had dared to hope that things could be normal. But the arrow had pulled her back to the harsh world they were now a part of. Her mind was spiraling and she didn't know how to deal with it. How was she going to cope with more loss? When she lost Minnie, she broke. She didn't allow herself to become attached to anyone after that. But when Clem arrived, she had returned to being the open and caring person she truly was...and the thought of losing the younger African American teenage girl would completely devastate her.

"Violet? Talk to me." Clem implored her older girlfriend, asking her to speak to her so she could help the blonde cope with the discomfort that was tormenting her.

Violet had silently stood up from her side of the bed, glanced towards the window to admire the beauty of the night sky before turning to face her younger girlfriend.

"I knew that an attack was bound to come...but I wasn't prepared for it, you know? We had the plans and everything ready, but when the time came...I froze. I just fucking froze. When the arrow flew by your face...I didn't know what to do. Everything seemed to lock in place. I just stood there like an easy target and wouldn't move until you tackled us both to the ground." The blonde stated, showing she was completely disgusted with herself for being so helpless and allowing herself to be overwhelmed by fear after spending the past three weeks preparing for the battle against the raiders while Clem simply looked at her girlfriend with sympathetic eyes.

"I've lost a lot of people, Clem. I know you have too. A lot of people came into my life and promised to stay...but they didn't. I lost most of them... just like I almost lost you today. I don't want you to just promise me that you're going to stay. I want you to stay." Violet continued while bringing up how she lost a number of people who came into her life way before the younger African American teenage girl and AJ did: people she thought of as family/friends who promised to stay at the school only to leave and never returned and how she couldn't bare the thought of losing Clem, just like she lost Minnie.

"I love you, Clementine." She stated softly before glancing down at the floor...whilst blushing deeply at the three words that just came out of her mouth much to her great surprise!

Clementine had felt a rush of blood coursing through her head, as she was also facing a turmoil of emotions. She had felt the arrow whiz by her face with her death separated from her only by an inch. It came without any warning and if it had struck her...she would have surely died. Her most recent near death experience had brought her back into cold reality that life was uncertain: no one was completely safe and threats didn't just come from the walkers, but other human survivors had completely lost their humanity. She had to live every moment she could, as she had no means of predicting when the day her life would eventually end. However, after she heard those three words leave the older blonde's lips, Clem had stood up from the bed, walked up to Violet and tenderly cupped her cheeks in the palm of her hands.

"I'm not going anywhere, you hear me? I love you." The younger African American teenage girl stated, promising her shaken blonde girlfriend that she wouldn't lose her before gently placing her lips over Violet's in a sweet loving kiss, which reinforced her vow.

After the initial kiss, Violet had felt a warmth grow inside her as she instinctively wrapped her arms around Clementine's neck and their lips melted into each other. The two girlfriends had kissed for what felt like five minutes, until the need for air became great and they pulled away, while smiling lovingly from the burning passion they had conveyed towards each other from that kiss. As they pulled away to breathe, Clementine could see a fire burning in Violet's eyes that she was unfamiliar with and strangely, the same sensation was slowly coursing throughout her own body during the time they had lock lips in that searing passionate kiss.

Once she and her younger girlfriend had regained their breath, Violet had suddenly walked past Clementine. She stopped at the door and glanced back at the younger teenage girl before locking it: making sure they wouldn't be disturbed or interrupted from their very first...intimate moment together as lovers. After the door was securely locked, the older blonde had turned back towards Clem, with her eyes aglow with desire. The younger African American teenage girl looked at Violet, standing in front of the door as she felt a deep tingling sensation spread through her body. The older blonde covered the distance between them in a few short strides and pulled Clementine in close, with their lips barely touching each other. Clem could feel Violet's breath on her lips and felt the heat rise deep within her as they stood there, breathing in each other's essence.

Clementine couldn't hold her own burning desire back any longer and kissed Violet. Their lips moved of their own accord, possessed by their love as their tongues danced around in a heated tango. Clem had felt her girlfriend's hands gently running down her back slowly...before stopping and playfully clutching her ass. The younger teenage girl moaned into the kiss as Violet's hands roamed freely...and blushed madly after feeling the blonde's hands reaching for and playfully squeezing her butt. Violet had pulled away from the kiss and seductively pushed her younger girlfriend against the table. She lowered her head and brought her lips close to Clem's neck.

The younger African American teenage girl had stiffened as Violet lightly traced her lips across her neck. The older blonde continued this for a few seconds before she gently kissed the croon of her neck. Clem moaned softly as she never once felt this sensation: the feeling of being sexually aroused by another girl before. Violet had planted a trail of kisses all over Clementine's neck before placing her lips over her younger girlfriend's again...and seductively pushed her tongue into Clementine's mouth as she kissed her, before breaking away. She trailed her lips along Clementine's collarbone whilst placing her right hand down to the younger girl's waist...while swiftly unbuttoning/unzipping her girlfriend's jeans and seductively snaking her hand past her underwear. Clem had moaned/gasped in surprise the second she felt Violet snaking her hand inside her underwear and pressing/rubbing her pointer and middle fingers up against her clit.

"...Vi, oh...fuck, that feels..." Clementine moaned while feeling ripples of electricity run through her as she leaned back, grasping the table for support as her knees buckled forward, granting her girlfriend more access to her slowly soaking clit.

"Shh." Violet whispered softly in her younger girlfriend's ear while smiling at the sound of Clem moaning from her actions and planting a tender kiss on her left cheek before continuing to arouse the tender flesh between her legs, brushing/rubbing the two digits at a steady pace and moaned herself after feeling the slowly leaking fluids covering her pointer and middle fingers.

The younger teenage girl had continued to moan as felt the blonde's fingers continuing to tease the sensitive flesh between her legs until she couldn't hold the built up fluids back any longer. Once she had reached climax, Clem wrapped her arms around her older girlfriend while panting deeply from her very first sexual release. Violet smiled herself as her girlfriend reach her climax and felt the fluids cover the tips of her two fingers before removing them from Clem's underwear and held her in her arms to allow the African American teenage girl to recover from her very first sexual release.

"You okay?" The older blonde asked with a warm smile on her face while brushing the knuckles of her right hand against her girlfriend's left cheek.

Instead of answering her girlfriend's question after recovering from her climax, Clementine had proceeded to return the favor: she pulled Violet in for a heated kiss and wrapped her arms around her. As she kissed the older blonde a bit more aggressively, Clem had instinctively removed Violet's vest and discarded it onto the ground and ran her hands through her silky hair while pulling her closer into the kiss. Violet was surprised by Clem's sudden aggression but felt herself giving in to her girlfriend deep burning desire as she felt Clementine's hand leave her hair and run down her back. While the older blonde had closed her eyes while feeling the younger teenage girl's hands wondering up and down her back, Clem's hands had seductively reached for and playfully massaged her breasts. Violet had a light blush appearing on her face as she felt her girlfriend playfully and teasingly fondling her breasts before moving her hands down from her chest directly down to her waist.

Clementine had never experienced this aggressive side of her before until tonight...and yet, in a way she could thank the mysterious attacker who shot the arrow. If the mystery attacker hadn't fired that arrow...she and Violet would never have said the words 'I love you' to each other and more importantly: brought them more closer than ever as they were sharing their very first intimate moment together here and now. As she and the older blonde continued their make out session, Clem had decided to treat her girlfriend to the exact same treatment she had given her: she had seductively unbuckled her belt, unzipped the fly to her jeans and snaked her right hand past her underwear.

"Oh fuck, Clem...oh, that feels so...ugh..." Violet moaned as she felt her younger girlfriend's pressing/rubbing her pointer and middle fingers up against her clit and buckled her hips forward, to grant her more access to the sensitive flesh between her legs.

"Shh." The African American teenage girl whispered softly into the older blonde's ear while planting a tender kiss on her cheek before latching her lips underneath her jaw and side of her neck as she continued to press/rub her two digits against her clit and moaned herself...as she could feel the built up fluids slowly covering the tips of her fingers.

"Oh shit...Clem. Oh, oh...oh, fuck...I'm gonna..." The blonde continued to moan, as she felt Clementine's fingers continue to tease her soaking wet clit...until she couldn't hold the built up fluids back any longer and climaxed, while embracing her girlfriend as she recovered from her very first sexual release and the younger teenage girl had removed her two cum covered fingers from Violet's underwear.

"You okay Vi?" Clem asked softly with a loving smile on her face as she held her girlfriend and planted a tender peck on cheek...and was answered with a loving smile from the older blonde as soon as she recovered and came back to her senses.

"C'mere." Violet answered as she seductively planted her lips over Clementine's, playfully pulled her towards the bed and shoved her younger girlfriend onto the bed before climbing on top of her and they engaged in a heated make out session.

The two girlfriends had chuckled softly as they pulled away to breathe and smiled tenderly at each other, as they had enjoyed every second of their first sexual moment together tonight and knew they could always take it more seriously only when they were both completely ready.

"Wow...tonight, tonight was just...completely wonderful." Clem whispered softly, as she had enjoyed every second of making out with her older girlfriend and more importantly, sharing their very first intimate moment as girlfriends tonight.

"I know...tonight was very unexpected...and I loved every second of it." Violet stated with a warm smile, showing she agreed with her younger girlfriend about how tonight was truly wonderful and loved every second of their very first sexual experience together before switching places with Clementine, so she was laying on the bed and the younger teenage girl was right beside her.

"I love you Vi." The younger African American teenage girl stated softly before she and her girlfriend leaned in and locked lips in a goodnight kiss.

"I love you too Clem. Sleep well." The older blonde stated after they pulled away and smiled as Clementine had placed her head on her left shoulder blade and underneath her neck, just like the night before and the two girlfriends drifted off to sleep.

They never expected what had just happened tonight to happen...and yet, both Clem and Violet were glad that the events that had occurred earlier today happened: as almost losing each other had brought them closer together.

A/N: There it is everyone, the 4th chapter to A World with You: A Violentine Story. I would like to apologize for the slight delay. I've had a rough couple of weeks at work and I've been struggling to find the time to work on my fanfic projects. The next chapter will be posted sometime later next weekend. Until next time, bye.
