(Violet's pov)

-Six Month Later-

It had been around six months since my group had been held captive by David and Javi's new group, me and Clem had been fighting a bit and I had been sleeping on the couch for a while, my leg was healing well or so the doctor said I walk with a limp but it's not to noticeable, I also got my hair cut short it was starting to bother me. Clem even said once that I looked like Jane, the woman that helped raise her and AJ once. I woke up to a knock on the door and I slowly get up and answer the door, I look to see that it was night and I saw Joan standing at my door.

"Oh, Joan, how are you?" I asked as I let her in.

"I am well, I see you won't be at work for a while." She said as she pointed to my leg.

"I've still reported in and work at the desk Ma'am nothing to worry about." I said and she nods.

"We have found the house that Diana explained from the last known location, though they left already." She said.

"Any tracks?" I asked as we headed to the kitchen and I made her some coffee.

"No, they covered their tracks for now." She said and I thought.

"They might have found another building to stay in and watched if you didn't look at the other buildings." I said and I heard some feet walking as I turned to see Clementine looking at us.

"Hello Clementine." Joan said and Clem glared at her.

"Hello, asshole." She said and I rolled my eyes.

"I know we got off on the wrong foot but I have changed Clem." Joan says and Clementine just continues to glare.

"Tricking my wife into working with you, by saying she could protect us better here doesn't really fit well with me." She argued back to Joan.

"Your wife made her own choice Clementine."

"No, you manipulated her."

"Stop it, please just… Clem right now I'm working with Joan to find the people who did this to me, and especially to Romeo." I tell her.

"Bullshit."

"CLEM!" I yelled and she looked up to me with wide eyes.

"Just stop, I want this, I want Joan to find them and I want to beat the hell out of them for what they did, do you understand me? I want to do that, not her, they broke my fucking leg, they killed Romeo, they hurt Diana, so I want you to stop with this shit." I said and she looked to me and then walked away and I shook my head as I looked at some of the papers Joan had out and it was a map and I marked the area.

"I did not mean to cause an argument with your wife." She said.

"No, it's fine I…. it's my own fault just…. check in this area maybe and if not then, I'll go on a long trip to find them." I said and she nods as she leaves and pats me on the back and I nod as I rub my face a bit.

"Violet?" I heard and looked to see AJ and I looked to him.

"Yea bud?" I asked and he came up to me.

"You and Clem fighting?" He asked.

"Please don't…. not now, just… go do your homework or something." I said as I worked more.

"You need to stop and look at what you're doing." He said and I got up and glared at him.

"Don't tell me what to do boy, I know what I'm doing." I tell him.

"You're going to hurt people."

"THEY HURT ME, THEY KILLED SOMEONE IN OUR GROUP!" I yelled and I heard running and I look up to see Clem pulling AJ back and getting in front of him.

"Don't yell at him again, do you understand me Violet, you will not raise your voice at him, you will not raise your voice at Mary and you damn well better not raise your voice at me again." Clementine said and I looked down at her as I clenched my fists.

"You don't give a fuck that they hurt me at all." I laughed as I looked to her.

"You… you just want them to stay safe… and why? You want to still redeem yourself to people, because you couldn't shoot Lee? Because I had to shoot him… I did your fucking dirty work, I bust my ass off to keep you safe, to keep him safe, and then you…. You treat me like this… when all I want was a fucking break for once…. But that's to fucking much to ask isn't it? We have to be out there where walkers roam instead of here safe."

"Walkers are almost gone Violet so there's no excuse to use them in an argument." Clem said to me bitterly.

"Christa turned into a walker, Romeo was a walker, they both tried to take a huge chunk of my fucking neck out, but again you don't seem to fucking care about that at all…. Noooo you want to be with Louis don't you, well guess what Darlin' he's doing the same damn thing I'm doing, staying behind walls." I said pissed and she looked to me.

"Violet I didn't mean to say that I regret saying that."

"But you fucking said it either way." I say.

"You….. God damn it just…. leave me alone." I said as I sat down at the table and they all left, all except Clementine.

"Violet."

"Don't…. please don't." I said quietly as I just looked at the wall.

"Violet listen to me." I heard and felt her grab my hand as I continue to look at the wall.

"Vi… I just… I have a bad feeling… Joan… she's just using you; she uses the whole, 'you'll be protecting your family' line on hundreds of people, she did it to me with AJ and look at what happened." She said and I looked to her.

"But I am."

"I know you are babe." She said and cupped my face.

"You always have ever since we met, you've done nothing but keep me and AJ safe from harm, even before we got here you were doing a damn good job on keeping us safe." She says.

"But."

"No buts… Violet, I know I have said some things and I regret them; I was just angry…. But please listen to me on this…. I don't want to leave you here, I want you to come with me and AJ along with Mary, we can leave now, you won't have to deal with anyone but us ok?" She asked.

"I…. I don't want to go I just…. I'm tired." I said and closed my eyes a bit.

"Vi?" Clem says and I look to her.

"Violet?" She asked again and I shook my head a bit and she felt my head.

"I want you safe." I mumbled a bit.

"I will be safe, Violet, I've told you, you have always kept us safe." She says.

"I have to keep you safe and this is all I have to go on right now."

"No, No, you know this isn't the only way how…. Remember in Texas when we went hunting and you took me out to help me walk more, but I didn't want to go… now I'm telling you that we can go, we can leave no strings attached." She said and I rub my neck as I look to her.

"I just… Clem look at what happened to me though… people who you thought of as friends they… they didn't care." I said.

"They were scared."

"And you think I'm not? Clem I'm terrified to leave, I'm so scared that if we go out there again something will happen to you, or even AJ or Mary, you know how…. You know how scared I am just with the thought of loosing you or the kids, look at what happened to Christa, look at what happened to Tenn, everyone…. I don't want… that." I said and I looked at her.

"That won't happen, babe we've done it before we can do it again." She says and I look at her.

"But."

"No buts Vi, babe please, you know we can just go out and live on our own we've done it before, you and I can help AJ and Mary, we can do it, I was able to do it with AJ and I was a kid." She says.

"But you're a bad ass…. You… you're strong." I said and she looks at me and wipes my face gently, I didn't even know I was crying.

"You're strong too babe, God you're so strong, look at all you've done, you helped me with my leg, you've kept us safe, you've done everything for us and I love you for this." She says and I kiss her gently.

"I…. I'll…. Think on it ok?" I asked.

"Violet it's been a year." She said and I looked at her.

"I… I'm sorry." I mumbled as I looked to the ground and sighed.

"Violet, I have been patient with you on this, I want you to have time to think but it's been a year since we came here.

"And look, we have lived another year, AJ had kids his age to visit for his birthday, we…we have had a great life here… you want to give that up? And if Joan was going to try anything, she would have done it by now." I said.

"Vi."

"Clem… please just…. we, we have it good here and you know it." I said and she looked to me.

"I don't want to leave here without you, that's why I haven't left because you won't come with me… and I can't leave you here yourself." She said and I looked to her.

"I… I don't want to leave and you shouldn't want to leave either, I've helped on the wall, I've made this place better, thanks to me we have solar panels here and a wind turbine working, I have kept people safe and you said so yourself I have kept you safe." I said and she looked to me.

"God damn it Violet." She says and gets up and so do I.

"What? Are you, mad cause I won't do as you say? Are you, mad cause I want to stay here and you don't, well you can fucking go." I said and she glared at me.

"Fine, fuck you Violet, I've tried and I've dealt with this shit for a year and I'm tired of it." She said and I glared at her as she walked away.

"Oh, where the fuck do, you think you'll be going hu? Are you going to run to fucking Louis?" I asked as I followed her.

"The fuck does it matter to you?"

"Because you'll be behind a fucking wall, not out on the road like you supposedly want so badly right now."

"At least I won't be stuck here working till I fucking die, I'm not going to have that Violet." She says and I grab her.

"I have done everything for you, and you want to throw that away, you're really going to do this right now?" I asked and she looked to me and just glared and rolls her eyes.

"Let me go now Violet." She says.

"No."

"Let me go." She says and kicks my bad leg and I let her go and I groan a bit.

"Fuck." I mumbled and looked at her.

"Next time someone tells you to let go, then fucking do it Violet." She said and I looked at her.

"So, you hit my bad fucking leg?" I asked as I stood a bit and looked at her.

"Don't grab me like that again and I won't have to." She said and I looked to her and I shook my head.

"Clem…." I tried to say but an alarm went off and I looked around as I listened and saw blinking red lights through the window.

"The hell?" I asked as I walked out and saw some walkers and I close the door quickly and then I hear bombs go off.

"What the fuck was that?" I heard AJ say as he and Mary ran down the stairs and I lock the door and shove the cabnit in front of it and looked to them.

"Walkers and people…. Fuck." I mumbled as I went and grabbed my rifle and looked to them as I gave them their guns and I looked to clementine and then to AJ.

"AJ go get the truck keys and Mary grab the duffle bags under your bed, same with you AJ." I said as I went to the window and I heard another bomb go off and I looked to see smoke near the front of the walls. I breath in a bit as I see Clementine grab a gun and AJ handed me the truck keys and we headed out to the back and to the truck.

"Stop right there." I heard and we stopped as I breathed in a bit.

"Drop your weapons." The man said and I just gripped my rifle as Clem and them do so and I don't.

"I said drop the damn weapon." I heard again and gripped my eyes tightly as I turned and pulled the trigger shooting the man in the chest. He just fell to the ground and I heard another bomb go off and I growl lowly.

"Vi." I heard as I looked to Clem.

"He… I… just get in." I said as I shoved her into the passengers' side of the truck.

"AJ you drive." I said as I put the bags in the back.

"What?"

"I said you're driving." I told him and I handed him the keys.

"Now get in the cabin." I said and he got in and Mary did as well and I went to Clem as I handed her a map.

"Remember the symbol we made at the school?" I asked and she looked at me.

"What?" She asked and another bomb went off and there were more walkers coming and I shot two of them.

"Draw the symbol." I said and looked to AJ.

"GO!" I yelled as another bomb went off and it was closer.

"VIOLET GET IN!" Clem yelled and I look at her then to AJ.

"AJ get the fuck out of here now." I said and a Walker grabbed me and I turn fast and shoot it.

"NOW!" I yelled and he floored it as I shoved the walker off me and there was another explosion.

"Fuck." I said as I looked around and saw more Walkers and I ran.

"Violet?" I heard and turned to see Diana.

"Diana." I said and went up to her as she killed a Walker.

"I thought we were done with this shit." She said and I nod.

"There wasn't so many walkers, the fuck happened?" I said as I looked around.

"I don't know." She says as we kill a few more walkers.

"We have to go to the base." I said and she nods as we run. My leg and lungs were basically on fire from this. More bombs went off and we head into a building. I hear people scream and children as well. I clench my rifle as I was about to go out and help them Diana grabs me.

"Don't they're done for Violet." She said.

"But."

"I know you have a big heart for this but damn it they're gone." She says and I nod sadly as I listen to the people scream.

"Fuuuuck." I said as I look around and I head to the exit. I heard Diana following me as we find another way to the base. More walkers are around and I look around for an opening but can't and I look to Diana.

"Ok, I'll grab a Walker and kill it, we rub some of is blood or whatever on us, it'll be easier for us to pass through." I said.

"What the hell that's crazy." She said.

"I know but it works, trust me." I said and I looked out a bit and see a Walker and I slowly walk up to it and I grab my old hunters Knife and I stab it in the head and drag the body back. I look to Diana as we cover ourselves and I start walking through the heard and I hear Diana breathing heavily.

"Stay calm you're fine." I said and I look to her to see her frighten.

"I just… I…. fuck." She says as she tries to calm down. There's another explosion and I turn to see that it's at the base and we both look to each other as we hurry over.

"SHOOT THESE DAMN FUCKERS!" I hear someone yell and I look around as I stab a few and Diana also does the same as we run up to the group.

"The fuck happened?" I asked as I looked around.

"I don't know, Jonathan passed out on his God damn Shift and next thing is, we're being fucking attacked by Walkers and people with bombs." Delta says and I look around more.

"fuck, ok just take out as much as you can, cover yourself in the Walkers guts, they won't harm you if you smell like them." I said as he looked at me and Diana.

"It works dad trust me." Diana says and I look around more.

"COME ON OUT JOAN!" I heard and looked to see David and his group with RV's and other trucks.

"FUCK OFF!" I hear Juliet say as she aims her gun at him and I grab it.

"Don't shoot him, we can't waste bullets right now." I told her and she glared at me.

"You said he Killed Romeo, you can't let this fucker live." She says as she yanks her gun back.

"I don't want him to live damn it, right now we have walkers and a lot of them to deal with right now ok." I tell her and she looks around an nods. We get read and the wall is blasted open as David and his group comes running in and I glare at them as we all head to the trucks. I get over to one and get Diana inside as I go grab the keys and hand them to people.

"Grab any survivors on the way, don't leave people behind, and for the love of god just ram the fucking dead and anyone in David's group got it?" I said and they nodded as they all got in the trucks and I grabbed some more ammo and loaded up my rifle as I went out to open the front gates of the bay area and saw more walkers.

"Fucking hell." I said as I waved for the trucks to go now. I looked around more and grabbed my rifle and started to shoot any of the dead and help anyone who needed it. I felt something grab my shoulder and I spun around and hit them with my rifle and looked down to see Louis on the ground.

"Louis?" I asked as I pointed my rifle at him.

"Woah hold on don't fucking hell, why are you?" He asked and then looked me up and down and glared.

"You're fucking working with this group what the fuck?" He said as he got up my rifle still pointed at him.

"Shut the fuck up man, the dead isn't deaf." I said as I glared at him. Though he didn't listen to me and just tackled me. I couldn't shoot him, I can't. I fell on my back as he punched me in the face a few times, I put my arms to my face as he tried to hit me more and I moved as best as I could to try and get away.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH!" He yelled and I saw as he was about to swing at me again I was able to punch his chest as he moved back a bit I shoved him off me and I tackled him to the ground. Dirt was flying in the air and the sweat was turning it into mud as I punch him.

"BASTARD!" I yelled and I grabbed my Knife and put it to his neck and he looked to me.

"You fucking Cunt, you work for a group of killers." He says and I glared at him as I put the knife closer to his neck.

"We never killed anyone, you work for a bunch of killers, CHILDREN HERE GOT EATEN BECAUSE OF YOU BASTARDS!" I yelled as he looked to me and I glare at him.

"I hear a shot ring out and then a pain in my side as I fell to my left and held my right side.

"FUCK!" I yell as I hold my side and looked to see who shot me. It was David. He came up to me and I saw that the walkers were almost gone as I coughed a bit.

"Fucker… guess you get your rocks off on this hu?" I asked as I glare at him then Louis.

"You find a survivor?" I heard and looked to see Ruby and Aasim.

"Oh my god Violet." Ruby said as she ran up to me.

"Get me a god damn first aid kit." She says as she looked at me.

"No fuck this bitch, she works for Joan." David said and I smirked.

"Bet you didn't find her." I coughed out.

"Heheheh….. Kids…. Kids were just killed because of you…. But you don't give a damn." I laughed a bit and groaned as Ruby put pressure on my wound.

"Shut up." David said.

"Fuck, where's Clem and AJ?" I heard Louis ask and I laughed.

"LONG GONE, ASSHOLE!" I yelled and looked to see my blood covering Ruby's hands.

"You'll be fine, you're one tough cookie." Ruby said and I close my eyes a bit.

"Where did they go?" I heard and looked to see Louis glaring at me.

"Not…. Telling… you… fucker." I said as I glare at him more.

"Tell me where they are now." He said but all I did was laugh some more. My vision going blurry.

-Two Hours Later-

I woke up to something being dabbed onto my head gently, it was wet and cold. I must have been sweating too because I could feel my shirt being clung to my body. I slowly raid my hand to grip my Dog Tags but they weren't there.

"I took them off for now." I heard and looked to see Kate.

"Wh-where's Ruby?" I asked, my throat a bit dry.

"She's tending to that Louis boy…. You got a few good swings in." She said and I chuckled.

"Always did." I mumbled as I looked to the ceiling. I felt the washcloth on my head again as I breathed a bit and I looked to the door as I heard it open.

"Ruby… hey." I said as she looked to me and Kate left the room.

"How you holding up?" She asked.

"Like a million bucks….. strong ass animal hah." I said as a joke and she looked at me with sad eyes.

"Violet why were you there?" She asked me. I didn't say anything as I tried to sit up a bit and I groaned a bit.

"Fuck." I mumbled and heard the door open again and saw a few more people come in.

"Where the fuck is Clem and AJ?" Louis demanded and I kept silent.

"ANSWER ME!" He yelled and I glared at him.

"Long Gone, I have no fucking Idea." I said and he came up to me before being held back by Omar.

"YOU BITCH, IF YOU HURT THEM IN ANY WAY!" He yelled.

"I would never hurt them, you god damn Dumbass." I say as I watch him.

"LIAR!"

"FUCK OFF!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU TWO!" Aasim yelled and we all looked to him.

"Violet…. Can you please explain why the hell you were in that group?" Omar asked and I looked to all of them.

"…. What does it matter?" I asked and looked away.

"Violet they've hurt people." Aasim said as he sat on the bed and I looked to him.

"We didn't hurt anyone." I said.

"Vi…. Javi and David said that."

"This was back when they were in her group right?" I asked and they looked at each other than me.

"I'm right, aren't I?" I asked.

"Vi."

"No Clem explained about what David had put her through, they haven't done a damn thing since I've been there." I said.

"How would you know?" Louis asked pissed.

"I…. they didn't tell you?" I asked and they looked at me.

"Tell us what?" Ruby asked as she looked at me a bit.

"I…. Nothing." I mumbled and laid back a bit, my back resting on the headboard.

"No, none of that bullshit tell us now." Louis said and I looked to him.

"….. I was Jonas second hand." I said.

"WHAT?!" He yells and the others looked at me shocked.

"I was second in command there, I know all the shit that happens with any new comers or caravans, but I didn't know about your attack… which by the way nice job you got families and worse children killed by walkers, hope ya'll are happy with that." I said.

"James was the one that brought the Walkers." Aasim says and I look to them.

"Who planned this attack?" I asked.

"David and his group, they found us asking for help, we thought this group was like Lilly's we didn't know you were there at all, I swear." Ruby said and I shook my head.

"Well… people are dead, and Clem and the kids are gone…. Looks like you did one good thing for her." I said as I looked to the wall.

"What do you mean?" Omar asked.

"Nothing, once I'm healed, I'm going to go find her…. If she even wants to be found." I mumbled a bit. Everyone but Ruby left the room and I looked to her.

"How long till I can leave Doc?" I asked her and she looked to me.

"A week or so, maybe two." She said and I shook my head a bit.

"Fucking…. Great, fucking hell." I mumble as I look at the wall a bit and I rub my neck a bit and I flinch a bit.

"You ok?" She asked.

"Honest to god? No I'm not….. Clem and I had a fight before all this happened and…. I just wanted to do something nice with her but people kept fucking it up and I was working to much and….. fuck." I said and I rubbed my face.

"I didn't tell AJ I was sorry for yelling at him….. god I hope they know how sorry I am." I said and placed my hand on my lap.

"Would you like for us to come and help you find them?" She asked and I shook my head.

"No… I need to find them I just."

"We can help you Violet, you all are still part of our family." She says and I don't say anything.

"Now I have a question for you Vi." She said and I looked to her.

"You said Kids… plural." She says and I nod.

"We took in a girl named Mary… when Christa died." I said and looked at my hands a bit.

"How?"

"She was shot in the abdomen, I tried to save her but…. We didn't get her to the hospital in time…. She turned into a walker and I had to shoot her." I said as I looked to Ruby.

"Vi."

"You know David and Javi killed one of my group members…. Left his wife a widow because Javi had to fucking hit us in the heads with a bat…. For fuck sake he was still alive and suffering and we didn't know and they didn't fucking check up on him…. These people are the true killers, Javi even said that David needed to stop killing my group members… before I joined…. We… joined." I said and looked around a bit.

"Violet… I'm so sorry." She says.

"Nothing you can do now." I said and the door opened and I saw David and Javi come in along with Omar, Aasim and Louis.

"You're awake." David said and Javi came up to me and grabbed me by my shirt yanking me up. I grabbed his hand and gripped it as I glared at him.

"Don't." Ruby says but stopped when I looked to her.

"Where the fuck is Clementine, we didn't find her you fucking lying bitch." He said and I glare more as I spit in his face. He glared at me and then lets me go and punches me and I move off the bed and grip my side as I stand up.

"WHERE IS SHE!" He yelled.

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW!" I yell back at him and he's about to come up to me but Ruby stands in between us and Omar comes over to me and I shrug him off. I know he means well but right now I don't want to be touched.

"And I'm glad I don't know." I laughed a bit.

"Cause fuckers like you might kill her." I said.

"We aren't like you, bitch." David says.

"Why the fuck do you care if we find her or not, last I fucking checked you kicked her out the group because she supposedly wasted medicine, yet you kept a drugged up doctor who got fucking high all the time." I said as I glared at him.

"I haven't killed anyone, you fuckers just got children killed for your attack, CHILDREN and defenseless people…. Their lives were taken but you don't give two fucks." I said as I glare at him and Javi.

"We didn't mean." Javi tried to say.

"DIDN'T MEAN? YOU FUCKERS KNOW WALKERS ARE DANGEROUS THEY EAT AND EAT AND DON'T FUCKING CARE WHO OR WHAT YOU ARE, THEY'RE FUCKING WALKERS!" I yelled and held my side more as I moved a bit as it hurt.

"Don't ever fucking say you didn't mean, you know god damn well enough how dangerous walkers are, we all fucking do, but those kids….. that just died tonight…. Had no fucking idea what those things were…. There are probably infant's dead because of you fuckers…. And you want to call us the bad guys? Fuck you." I said as I watched them.

"You better hope my family is ok when I leave, because I swear to god if Clem or AJ, or Mary are hurt in any way due to leaving that community, I'll fucking shoot you, no hesitation…. Fucking god damn it Clem couldn't even grab her good spare leg because of ya'll." I said and sat on the bed and covered my face a bit.
