Last time on The Walking Dead: Eye For An Eye: Sequel:
"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.

(Violet's Pov)
I shot up from the bed as I looked around the room. My breathing was heaving and I rubbed my face and felt a lot of sweat as I quickly got up and headed to the kitchen and went over to the sink as I grabbed some water and was over the sink and splashed the water in my face as I tried too cool down from the dream, no it was a nightmare.
"H-H-Holy fucking hell." I mumbled as I rubbed my face more and looked to see Clementine still asleep in the bed. I felt my shoulder as it burned a bit and I groaned quietly as I moved the shirt from it and looked at it as best as I could.
"Violet?" I heard and looked to Clementine who was sitting up and let go of my shirt a bit and I look at her a bit.
"Vi, you ok?" she asked and I looked to the ground a but and rubbed my face again as I splashed some water on my face again. I heard her walk up to me from behind and felt her hands wrap around my waist as I tried to cool down a bit.
"Y-Yea I'm fine…. Just a really fucked up dream." I said and she looked at me.
"What happened?" She asked as I looked to her.
"I uh…. I don't remember." I said as I rubbed my face again. I know I was lying to her but I didn't want her to know about that dream, it's freaking me out right now.
"All I remember is that I was in yours and AJ's points of view…. Really weird." I said and she laughed.
"I-I'm so sorry Violet, but that's weird." She says.
"I know right?" I asked and she kisses my cheek gently.
"Well, if you ever do remember it, and you want to talk about it, I'll listen." She says and I nod. I look around the home a bit and I rub my face again as I head to the bed. I bend down to open up my bag and grab a different shirt. I take the ruined one off as I change my shirt, I look to Clem who was looking at me. I turned a bit red and I sit on the bed a bit and I think.
"Hey." She says as she comes up to me and rubs my back gently as I look to her.
"Yea?" I asked.
"I love you." She says and I smile as I pin her to the bed.
"Heh I love you too…. Now get some sleep you goof." I said and she looked up at me as I moved away.
"You get some sleep too, you can't stay up all night, especially when you ride that damn bike." She says and I nod.
"Hey uh…. Why don't we just take a detour? I mean we don't have to go to Florida just yet I mean…. We could head west?" I asked as I looked at her and she looked at me.
"Is that what your dream was about?" She asked as she sat up and I looked at the floorboard a bit as I twiddled my thumbs.
"I… Kind of… yea, I mean…. It's stupid."
"No, it's not, when I was younger, and on my own, I'd have nightmares of what would happen if I went to one place, or another, what could happen tomorrow, all sorts of things would happen in my head and it would just be a dream…. One time I thought I had died in front of AJ and…. It freaked me out so much." She says and I look at her.
"I uh… in my dream… I was shot in the chest… from behind…. By that man… David, and I think I got his description, right? I mean you described him to me and this Javie guy too…. And I don't know it just… I was you, then AJ then you again and the dream kept going back from what had happened and, shit Louis was an asshole and Ruby and Aasim had a son…. God damn even Rosie was there too it's just…. It was so fucking weird." I say as I look to her and she holds my hands in hers and I saw I was shaking.
"Hey, it's ok Vi, I'm here, you're here, AJ is here, no one is hurt, you're ok…. If you want, we don't have to go to Florida, we can travel a bit west, and head back home." She says and I look at her.
"I uh…." I tried to say something but couldn't as I saw my hands shake again and I tried to make them stop. Clem pulled my head to her as she rubbed my head a bit as I tried to calm down, damn this dream is really getting to me. I heard some humming and felt Clems chest vibrate a bit as she did so. I breathed a bit slowly as I calmed down a bit but I was still a little shaken as I held her hand close to me.
"Is your leg bothering you?" I asked.
"Nope, why?" she asked.
"Just wanted to make sure, need to take notes if I have to fix it." I mumble as she rubs the back of my head more.
"I'll tell you if it needs fixing." She says and I nod a bit.
"Ok, be sure to tell me, I know how damn stubborn you are." I tell her and she laughed a bit.
"Alright let's get some rest, if we plan to head west, we need some more sleep." She says and I nod as I move a bit and we lay back down in the bed. I look to her as she turned her back to me and I move so I have my hands wrapped around her waist and I pull her to me. I place my head by her neck as I close my eyes and she placed her one free hand on top of mine as I nuzzle her neck a bit and think a bit.
"Hey Clem?" I asked.
"Hm?"
"We can head to Florida… see if they're there and then leave." I said and she nods a bit.
"If that's what you want, I'm ok with that." She says and I kiss her neck a bit. I wait for her to sleep first before I closed my eyes as I tried to go back to sleep. Though I don't now how long we were asleep all I know is that I was woken up by someone shaking me gently and I opened my eyes a bit as I turned to see AJ.
"Time to get up." He says and I nod as I get up and I see Clem is still asleep.
"I've got her bud… go rest a bit before we have to leave." I said and he nods as I get up more as he leaves and I slowly shake Clem who shifts a bit and moves more into the blankets and I smile a bit at her. I'll have to apologize later for waking her up so early. I get up from the bed as I head out of the room and I look at AJ.
"Hey, let's, let Clem sleep in a bit, I woke her up last night." I said and he nods as we get to work on grabbing the supplies and setting them in the truck and I looked at the back of the truck a bit.
"You ok?" AJ asked and I nodded.
"Yea, I'm fine just a bit tired is all." I said.
"Do you need to sleep more too?" He asked and I shook my head no.
"No I'm good bud, We can head out in about an hour." I said and he nods a bit as we head back inside after grabbing some food and I began to work on breakfast. I cooked up some of the deer meat we had left and I made AJ and Clementine their plate before I made mine, I hear a door open and close as I turned to see Clementine walk out yawning a bit and I smile a bit as I handed her, her plate and she sits next to me. I eat my food along with AJ and her and we have some small talk, we told AJ that after we meet up with the others and see if they're good, that us three would head west again.
"But the gun shots?" he asked.
"We won't head through Texas, there's other states we haven't been to, we could travel across the country for a while, head to Georgia to see Lee and so on." I explained and he nods a bit.
"Ok, seems like fun." He said and I looked at him.
"would you like to do that?" I asked.
"Yea, I'd like to travel a lot… then we can head back home?" he asked and I nodded.
"If no one took over than yea, we can head back home, we might just get there in time for your birthday too." I said and he nods. After breakfast we wash the dishes and I set them in the bag and head out to the truck. AJ and Clem follow me out as I open the back of the truck and set the bag in the back and I lock it back up as I look at them.
"Ok we have about a day and a half ahead of us, so we can take our time if you want." I said and they nod. Clementine gets in the truck on the driver's side as I come over to her and I kiss her gently and she kisses me back.
"Gross." AJ says and I laugh a bit as I kiss Clementine again.
"Gross." Clem says and I laugh more.
"Alright you two let head out." I said and I go over to the bike and I start it up, just as Clem starts up the truck. I head out in front of them as I drive, I look around a bit as I see the road signs and head in that directions that we had on the map. It wasn't long till we had gotten close to some water which means we got into the state lines of Florida and we decided to take a break near one of the beaches, I didn't know which one since the sign was torn down, probably from the bad weather that they have here, and with no one to repair anything it was left in shambles.
"Are there walkers in the water?" AJ asked.
"Probably, I mean I wouldn't try and risk going in the waters right now." I said as I looked at the ocean. Just imagine walkers just walking into the water, and going into the deep debths that we normally can't go into.
"Shallow waters are ok, though right?" He asked and I looked at him.
"Yea, that's fine just don't let the water pass your knees that's all." I said and he runs up to the water and takes his shoes off. I look at Clem who had taken a seat in the sand and I sat next to her and watched AJ very closely.
"He's never been to a beach before." She says and I nod.
"Yea… that's more of a reason to travel more, he can see lots of things." I said and she nods as she lays her head on my shoulder and I breath in a bit as I hold her waist with one arm. I watch AJ a bit as he looks along the waters and walks around a bit in the sand. It wasn't long till I saw some storm clouds roll in so I helped Clementine up as we went to find a place to stay for the rain, we found a home far from the waters just as the rain was falling as I placed the motorcycle in the shed that was left opened, probably when they were in a hurry to run from the dead. I closed the door just as the rain fell and I ran to the house and was able to get in but I was a bit soaked from the rain and I shook my head of water. I felt someone tap my shoulder and I look up to see Clementine with a towel in hand and I smile as I take it and I place the towel on my head and I rub my hair to get rid of the water.
"It might rain for a bit so we can stay here for a while." I said as we sat in the living room on the couch a bit and I lay my head back a bit as I listen to the rain fall.
"The sound of rain is so relaxing." I said.
"Thunder is scary." AJ said and I nodded a bit as I looked at him.
"Oh yea, especially for little kids and dogs, scary." I said as I felt Clem lean on me a bit. I held her waist gently as we closed our eyes a bit. We didn't go to sleep, I don't think I'd want to sleep again after that damn nightmare, I opened my eyes a bit as I saw AJ drawing in his sketchbook, I had found him back home. He's become quite the artist, but it was more for landscaping than people. He can draw birds really well too.
"What are you drawing Goofball?" I asked and he looked at me.
"Just the fields we passed." He says and I look at the drawing, really well done and in the back, it looked like a home.
"Nice drawing bud." I said and he smiled.
"Thanks." He said and drew more and I looked out the window as I watched the rain fall down and also roll off the windows as well.
"Just a few more hours." She says and I nod as I rub her side gently and I kiss her cheek as I look at her.
"Is there one place you've always wanted to go?" She asked me and I looked at her than AJ and I thought a bit.
"Hmm… shit, no where in particular, I don't really care." I said and she nods as she closes her eyes and I rub her side gently. I closed my eyes as the rain fell more and I just listened to the sound. It was calming but yet I couldn't sleep, there was no point. I had to keep watch, but closing my eyes for a bit wouldn't hurt would it?
