Last time on The Walking Dead: Eye For An Eye: Sequel;
"Hun you need time to mourn." Ruby says.
"I just…. We should have never left… but oh no, we had to leave, that's what we had planned if we heard gun shots close by, because we were so fucking scared we left…. Shouldn't have left." Clem says to herself as she walks back to Violets grave. I watched her more and more as she limped.
"Did Clem get injured?" Ruby asked.
"Yea, but that was a long time ago…. Very long time ago." I said.
"If she needs pain killers we can give it to you two." Willy says and I shook my head.
"No, it's fine… she doesn't need them, still hates taking them, God Violet had to shove them down her throat one time when she was in so much pain." I said remembering that day and I shook my head.
"She still thinks she's wasting them?" Ruby asked and I nodded.
"That's Clem for you." I said as I watched her as she sat next to the cross and looked up at the sky, it was dark now and the stars were out and I looked down at the others.
"When Clem wants to leave then we'll leave if that's ok?" I asked and they nodded.
"If Louis has an issue with it he can take it up with me." Willy said and I nodded.
"Thank you." I said.
"Anytime kid." Aasim says as he picks up his son and him and Ruby head inside and I head over to clementine and sit on the other side of the cross and look up at the stars with her.

I woke up to the sound of gun shots going off, I quickly got out of the bed and ran to the door of the trailer as best as I could and looked to see the sun up and I look around the area just to see Violet teaching AJ how to shoot her rifle. I opened the door and stepped outside and watched them.
"Hey now, be careful this thing has a kick to it." I hear her say and I smile a bit as AJ positions the gun right, as Violet helped him move it to a more comfortable position.
"Now just take your time and aim right at that can." She says and AJ nods as he looks through the scope and takes a breath as Violet covers his ears a bit, then fires. He missed.
"God damn it." AJ says and Violet laughed a bit.
"Hey it's fine you'll get the hang of it bud." She says as she pats his back and she looks to me.
"Morning Clem." She says as she waves and AJ looks over to me and waves back.
"Violets teaching me how to shoot a rifle." He says and I walk up to them.
"I see that, you know the last time I shot one I was about eleven years old actually." I say as I help AJ as he tries to shoot again. Violet comes back up behind him as she covers his ears once more. He takes a breath. Fires the rifle and hits the can.
"Great job AJ." She says as she pats his back and he smiles.
"Looks like he deserves a treat don't you think?" She asked as she pulled out some candies and handed them to him and he smiled.
"Come on, I don't need candy anymore." He says.
"A kid who doesn't want candy? The audacity of you AJ, even grownups want candy." She says.
"What about a bike lesson?" he asked and she looked at the motorcycle that had been taken apart for a bit.
"How about this, you help me fix it up and then I'll teach you?" she asked and he nods as he hands me and her some candy and we ate them. It wasn't long till we got to work I was in the garden, making sure the vegetables were good along with the fruit, I hear something coming up from behind me and I turn my body a bit to see Violet as she smiled at me and sat next to me.
"Howdy." She says and I laugh a bit.
"Getting into the Texas feel?" I asked and she nods.
"Oh yea, by the time I'm thirty I'll be talking like Ruby." She says and I chuckle at that thought.
"I think it's cute." I say as I grab her hand gently. She doesn't talk and I look at the garden a bit and I hear a cough and turn as I saw blood coming from Violets chest as she looked at me, blood pouring from her mouth as she put my hand to her chest a bit.
I woke up screaming at the top of my lungs as I looked around the room, I was breathing heavily as I got up out of the bed and I felt my prostetic hurt as I went to the door only to see Ruby and Aasim run down the hall and to me.
"What happened are you ok?" Ruby asked as I looked around.
"I uh…. I… um." I tried to say and I shook my head a bit as I looked at the floor.
"Where um… where are we?" I asked.
"Florida."
"And… and Violet?" I asked as I looked around a bit with my good eye.
"Hun." Ruby says and I shake my head a bit.
"I'm… I'm sorry I um…. Sorry for waking you guys up I." I tried to say as Ruby and Aasim helped me to my bed and I felt a sharp pain in my stump. I didn't want to take the prostectic off but it started to itch and I sighed.
"C-Can you help me with something Ruby?" I asked.
"Sure Hun, you got any injuries for me to look at?" She asked and I nodded slightly as I lifted up my pant leg to show the fake leg to her.
"Jesus when did that happen?" I heard Aasim ask as I looked up at him.
"Years ago, um AJ and Violet had said they were at her home for a few weeks before I got there." I said as she helped me take it off and she looked at my stump.
"It's bleeding a bit, Aasim can you go get me some peroxide and bandages?" She asked him as she moved my leg away and rolled up the pant leg more as he walked away. She looked at the fake leg a bit and rubbed her head.
"Whoever made this was a bit sloppy." She says.
"Violet made it…. the other ones were too big or too small." I said and she looked at me.
"I'm sorry I didn't know." She says.
"It's fine…. She had the book in the truck on how to fix it." I said as I got up a bit.
"No, you sit, AJ can get it when he gets back ok?" She asked and I looked at her as I sat down slowly and looked at her.
"She's gone?" I asked.
"Who?"
"Vi?" I asked and she looked up at me.
"Hun…. She's still with you trust me." Ruby says and I nod as I see Aasim walk in.
"Louis was wondering why Clem was screaming." He muttered.
"What um… what happened while I was gone?" I asked and they looked at me.
"Violet and Louis got into a huge fight before we left…. She hasn't told you has she?" Ruby asked and I shook my head no.
"Hmm, should we tell?" Aasim asked.
"We can ask AJ since he was part of the fight too."
"Wait AJ didn't get hurt did he?" I asked as I looked at them.
"I'll go get him." Aasim says as he leaves, and I look at ruby as she patches my stump up.
"What happened?" I asked again.
"Louis was talking about how you might be dead and stuff." She says and I watch her.
-Seven Years Ago-
(Ruby's Pov)
Aasim, Omar and I were packing some things up as Violet helped us, she along with AJ were going to stay here in Texas while we headed off to Florida.
"You got everything you need." She asked as she set a bag in the back of the truck.
"Yep, that should do it, if we have to, we could hunt a deer down for meat." Aasim said and Violet nods a bit.
"I don't see why you aren't coming with us, it's just bullshit to wait around for a dead girl." Louis said and Violet looked at him. She didn't say anything but helped me tighten the rope so none of the items will fall out.
"I mean, she's probably working with that Joan lady, I mean why else would she go about it alone." He said.
"She wouldn't do that and you know it Louis now cut the shit." Violet says as she looks at him.
"There's no point in waiting here and getting yourself killed just so you can be all 'oh but at least I waited for you Clem'" he mocked.
"The fuck is your problem with her hu? What has your god damn panties in a twist that you have to belittle her after all the shit she's done for us, she lost a damn eye cause she got captured by the Delta, and you fucking pitied her back them, what fucking changed hu?" She asked.
"I didn't pity her at all Violet, and grow the hell up, she left you, she didn't want you anymore that's why she went alone." He said.
"I WAS INJURED YOU FUCK!" She yelled.
"SHE LEFT YOUR SORRY ASS!" He yelled.
"Woah calm down you two." Omar said and AJ came out of the truck.
"Clementine didn't leave us she was protecting us." He said pissed.
"Oh yea, then why hasn't she come back yet hu? It's been three days." He said.
"You know how fucking hard it is to get humans off your trail Louis? Those damn raiders found our fucking school easily, then they found the farm, fucking hell Clem said this Carver guy followed her old group for five fucking days and they still captured them, so grow the fuck up and think Louis." Violet says as I saw her hands clench into a fist.
"She left you, she left us." He said.
"SHE DIDN'T!" AJ yelled and I grabbed him as he tried to go after Louis.
"Think about it, she said that the man David gave up AJ why the hell did it take so long for her to find him hu? She was probably glad that someone else would have to deal with him." He said.
"Louis you don't know shit."
"And you do Violet? Come on she probably doesn't even like girls she probably felt sorry for you, you were probably and experiment for her." He said and I wasn't able to grab Violet as she tackled Louis to the ground and started to Punch him in the face multiple times before Omar grabbed her.
"AND I WAS GOING TO APOLOGIZE TO YOUR SORRY ASS FOR WHAT I SAID? FUCK YOU LOUIS YOU'RE JUST FUCKING MAD CAUSE I GOT CLEMENTINE AND YOU DIDN'T!?" She yelled as she kicked her legs and struggled to get out of Omars grip but Willy got in front of her and she stopped kicking so she wouldn't hurt him
"Is that why you're being a petty bitch because you didn't get her as a fucking girlfriend, that's fucking low even for you and you FUCKING KNOW IT!" Violet yelled as she tried to get out of Omars grip.
"Fuck you Violet." He said.
"FUCK ME? I'LL KILL YOU!" she was able to get out of Omars grip but willy was able to stop her for a bit as Aasim grabbed her along with Omar again.
"YOU'RE MAD CAUSE I'M FINALLY HAPPY AND YOU CAN'T HAVE WHAT I HAVE, JUST LIKE YOUR FUCKING PARENTS A PETTY FUCKING BOY IS WHAT YOU ARE LOUIS, YOU'RE JUST A SAD SACK OF SHIT AND I HOPE YOU DIE OUT THERE!" She yelled again as she glared at him. I could see flames in her eyes and I looked to Louis as he wiped the blood from his mouth, I wasn't going to treat him, to be honest he deserved what he got.
"Whatever, I'm done with this shit." He said and left and I looked to AJ and Violet as Omar, Aasim and Willy let her go when they though she wasn't going to go after him. I watched as she went over to me and AJ came up to her and I looked at her knuckles which were also bloody and read with some open wounds.
"I'll patch you up Hun." I said as I grabbed the bandages from the truck.
-Present Time-
(Clementine's Pov)
"That what Violet wanted to apologize for?" I asked and looked at Ruby.
"I don't know Hun, all I know is that she beat the hell out of him and said all that, but honest to god I think he deserved it." She says as she finishes patching up my leg and I looked at her.
"I'm so sorry that I woke you and Aasim up." I tell her.
"Oh, don't worry we got use to it with Little Aasim and his night owl days, now he complains when he can't sleep at night." She joked.
"How old is he?" I asked.
"About four, actually he'll be five in a month, thank god Aasim keeps track of dates." She says and I chuckled a bit.
"A month hu… damn." I say and I look to the side as I hear the door and I see AJ run in.
"Clem are you ok? Aasim said you screamed?" He asked worried and I rubbed his head.
"I'm fine."
"What's wrong with your leg?" He asked and I looked at it.
"There's a bent piece of metal sticking through the leather and cloth, I can fix it for ya, but it might take a bit." Ruby says.
"I'll get Violets book." AJ said as he got up.
"No um… I mean." I tried to say something but kept quiet.
"It happened before; I can fix it." I said as I grabbed the leg gently. I looked to see AJ's old stickers fading off on it, and I looked to see Violets Signature mark on it to, which was just a VC burnt a bit into the metal which she used a special tool for so it wouldn't damage the leg.
"She really made that?" Ruby asked and I nodded.
"God that woman did a lot of things when I found them again, she was outside building a wooden barricade on the old fence, then we found some concreate and she busted her ass making the wall, she worked on the truck we have and a motorcycle once I showed her how… I would joke with her and say she couldn't come in the house covered in all that muck, and she… she'd retaliate by smearing her oiled covered hands on my shirt or face… but you know here." I said and pointed to my cheeks.
"She did look really tan when you guys got here." She said.
"That's cause she was outside a lot more…." I said and fiddled with the leg a bit.
"AJ and her went to a hospital to go find me a leg, and AJ said he was going to find a foot book." I said and looked at him.
"When they came back, they were covered head to toe in walker guts." I laughed remembering that and Violet complained about the walkers sneaking up on them so they had to do it.
"But we got the books." AJ said.
"And I thank you for that." I said and he nods a bit.
"they found one leg that would work for a bit, but I broke the damn thing, so Violet said she would make me one, and AJ here said that it would be awesome."
"And it is, hell Violet said she wanted to put a rocket in it." He said and Ruby laughed.
"That woman, well That would be neat actually." She says and I laugh.
"But we just settled on letting AJ put some stickers on it." I said and I looked at the leg more.
"Well ain't that cute." Ruby said and I nodded.
"I hope I'm not rude for asking but…. Is louis the leader of the group?" I asked.
"God no he isn't, ever since that day we haven't let him make any decisions for us, now Aasim took over but we still have votes and we help him when he needs it…. We don't want him to end up like Marlon, stressed out and making bad choices, ya know?" she asked and I nodded.
"I'm still sorry for Marlon." AJ said quietly.
"You've atoned for what you did AJ, it's ok, no need to apologize anymore." She said as she got up.
"I'll let you two get some rest now, holler if you need anything and I'll check your bandages in the morning." She said and I nodded as she left the room and I looked at the leg more. I looked at AJ who also looked at my leg and I smirked.
"Caught ya."
"I'm sorry." He said.
"Don't be, I stare at it too." I tell him and he looked up at me.
"I'm sorry…. About Violet." He said and I nod.
"You've said that already…. I'm going to go back to sleep." I said.
"I'll keep watch."
"You don't need to."
"But what about Louis?"
"He won't try anything, besides if he does, the others won't like it." I said as I looked at AJ.
"True but still." He said.
"How about this." I offered and he looked at me.
"You can take first shift, in about three hours I'll take the next ok?" I asked and he nods.
"And you will wake me up, if I sleep in, I won't be to happy." I said and he nods again.
"Yes Ma'am." He said and I looked at him.
"Sorry, Ruby's rubbing off on me again."
"Well good, you swear like a sailor sometimes." I said and he laughed as I laid back in the bed. I closed my eye, and though about the good times I had, not just with Violet but with AJ too.
