Chapter 2: Nightmares

The tension inside the RV was thick. At the front the hushed yet frantic whispers of Katja and Kenny could be barely heard if one listened closely. On the couch Clementine and Ben were sitting down, both were in deep thought. Lee was sitting in the back at the table, trying to gain control back from the demon. After a few minutes Lee managed to calm himself and tie the demon down with chains.

Lee started to walk to the couch were Clementine and Ben were, but what he saw managed to stop him dead in his tracks. Clementine looked at him with those beautiful hazel eyes… in fear. Lee knew that she would be scared of what he did to Lilly, hell even he was scared of the evil that resides in his heart. However seeing Clementine actually afraid of him felt like someone stabbed him in the heart. Lee managed to take a step forward, but Clementine scooted to the end of the couch, hiding behind ben.

Lee could not help but feel like the bond that he shared with her was broken. To him it felt as though it was day one again, two strangers trying to survive the unknown horrors that awaits them all. Lee slowly waked back to the table, his heart full of grief and sadness. Today Lee lost two people that he held close and dear to his heart. One was dead and the other may never fully trust him again.

Clementine was wondering why Lee, her kind and gentle guardian could turn into a cruel and unforgiving monster in a matter of seconds. Lee saved her from starving to death back at her tree house. Lee saved her from the walker hiding in the bathroom at the pharmacy. Lee made sure that she wasn't hungry when the group was almost out of foods. He would always support her, even when others didn't. When everyone stole the supplies from the car in the woods it was only her, Lee and Lilly that refused to steal the supplies. However there were some signs that Lee had a dark past that she chose to ignore.

The first was when Carley told lee that she knew of his past while clementine was standing right next to them. When Clementine asked him if it was a walker that he killed he said it was complicated. The second sign was when Lee killed the St. Johns with no hesitation. Clementine knew that he did it to keep the group safe; they barely managed to escape the farm and she knew that if they were spared they would come back to the motor inn to hurt the group. It wasn't until today that Lee told her he was on his way to jail for killing a man. Lee told her it was a mistake and what he did was wrong. The funny thing was that she wasn't afraid of Lee at all. She trusted Lee with her life. It wasn't until Lee left Lilly to die on the side of the road did Clementine felt fearful of him.

Lee was the one who always helped the group and was always the one who put an end to Kenny's and Lilly's arguments. However Lee was not alone, Lee always had Carley to help him. Clementine could barely accept that Carley was dead. She always managed to brighten up her day when Lee was too busy trying to keep the group together. She would always tell stories of her days as a reporter, or sometimes she would help Clementine draw chalk drawings. Carley was like a mother to her, always giving her advice and checking if she was ok.

Clementine was so tired, the bandits attacking, Carley and Lilly gone forever. It was just too much for her to handle. She gave a quiet yawn, and after using bens shoulder as a pillow, she soon fell asleep.

"Ugh where am I? Hello, can anyone hear me?" Lee yelled. All he could see was darkness in front of him. Lee was looking around franticly, trying to find anyone from the group. Lee saw a shadow out of the corner of his eye, when he turned he managed to get a better look. The shadow started to change, its form turning into a familiar person.

"Carley, is that you?" Lee asked, his voice threatening to fail him. 'This is impossible, I saw her die. There's no way she survived that gunshot to the head!' Yet there she was, wearing her lucky purple jacket. However when Lee looked in her eyes however, he couldn't help but shudder in fear. Those beautiful chocolate brown eyes, always filled with love and compassion were now full of hate and anger.

"You bastard, you could have saved me! Instead you let me die, all those times I saved you and the one time I was in trouble, and what did you do. You stood there and watched!" Carley yelled, her once calm and gentle voice was now roaring like a lioness.

Lee was shocked; the only one who he considered a true ally was now turning against him. Lee took a deep breath, trying to think of what he would say next.

"I'm sorry Carley, it happened so fast. If only I could have seen it coming or take the bullet for you. I didn't even know Lilly had a gun." Lee gasped his voiced cracking. Lee though of all the people that he could have saved, but failed. Shawn, Doug, Mark, Larry, and now Carley, the guilt Lee felt was overwhelming. Lee felt that he was responsible for the safety of every member of the group; Lee could not help but feel as though it was his fault that they were dead.

"Look at you; you are such a failure, to think I thought you would make a great leader for the group." Carley hissed. Then as quick as she came, she was gone. Lee fell to his knees, trying to comprehend what just happened. Lee could still hear her however, her voice as poisonous as a snake.

"You're a failure! You can't save anyone! I should have never rescued you that day; I should have told everyone at the pharmacy who you were! Nothing but a fucking murderer!" her voice echoed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Lee whispered. Lee knew this had to be a nightmare, it just had to be. All of a sudden it became deathly quiet. Lee tried to regain his composure, and somehow managed to stand up. Lee started to walk forward, when all of a sudden he heard someone crying behind him. Lee looked behind him, and Clementine was behind him. Her hands were covering her face as she was sitting down, her walkie-talkie lying next to her. Lee immediately ran towards her to check on her.

"Clementine, what's wrong?"

"Why Lee? Why didn't you save me?"

"What?"

"Why didn't you save me?" Clementine's voice became hoarse and raspy. As soon as she said that she turned around and lunged towards lee. Her once cute and adorable face was nothing more than rotten flesh. Her eyes, those beautiful hazel eyes were now white, white eyes that held no emotion or life, nothing but death. Her hands tried to claw at Lees face, but Lee held on to dear life, trying to keep her away from him.

"Clementine, no what happened!?" Lee yelled out. The only response he received however was a bone chilling snarl as Clementine tried once again to bite him. Lee used all his strength to hold her back but soon his body began to give up.

'What's the point of living anymore? I failed Carley, and now Clementine. Everyone I know, everyone I love has died. I have nothing left.' Lee thought as Clementine, no, as this walker inched closer to him, its jaws mere inches away from his shoulder. Soon however a bright flash of light blinded Lee, and the next thing he knew he was back inside the RV. Lee looked around, the RV was empty.

"Clementine" Lee said. His voice hoarse after that hellish nightmare he just had. Lee jumped to his feet and looked out of the window. There in a small clearing was Clementine, along with Kenny, Katja, Ben, and Duck. They were all sitting on a log, their faces solemn and fearful. Lee took a deep breath and stepped outside.

The moment Lee stepped outside; everyone stared at him wearily, like he was a pit-bull ready to rip their throats out when they turned their backs on him. Lee felt hurt, all of the good deeds he did for the group, and one decision would shatter his image. Lee went from being a protector of the group to a murderer, a killer, a wolf among sheep.

"Kenny, why did we stop? Did we run out of gas already?" Lee asked.

"Well Professor, there's a god damn train stuck in the middle of the road! As if that wasn't bad enough, there's no way around it, so unless we can move the train, we are fucked!" Kenny snapped his hands balled up into fists. 'Damn it, we have to get out of here! We have to find some help for duck, no shut up! He'll be ok; it's just a damn scratch. He's not like the others, he'll be ok. All he needs is some rest and some food.'

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to move the train. If I can unhook the train it might move enough for us to squeeze through. The tracks are on a downhill slope." Lee tried to reassure not only Kenny, but everyone else. Especially Clementine, just seeing her alive managed to put him at ease, even though she was still avoiding his gaze and ignoring him, it was better than seeing her as a walker.

"Whatever just check on the train! We're wasting time over here." Kenny muttered.

"I'll be back…asshole." Lee muttered already walking towards the train. Lee wondered why he even put up with Kenny's attitude. Kenny was reckless, selfish and sometimes irrational. Lee knew that if he was ever in trouble, Kenny would probably leave him to die. First it was at the dairy, when he was about to be shot by Danny St. John and Kenny merely watched. If it wasn't for Lilly, Lee would have died at the dairy. Then it happened again during the raid at the pharmacy, a walker fell on lee. The only reason why Lee did not get bit that day was because a door stood between them, no thanks to Kenny. He ran out of the pharmacy, he didn't even look back, didn't even help him.

Lee couldn't help but remember what Hershel told him after he failed to save Shawn from being killed by walkers. Hershel told him that if Clementine was ever in danger, that he better get stronger, or hope that his "friends" were not cowards. Lee couldn't help but shudder at the thought, would Kenny abandon Clementine like he did to Shawn?

Lee managed to shake those thought out of his head, and focus on moving the train. In front of him stood a boxcar, its sliding door shut tight. Lee wondered what was inside, hopefully not another human slaughter house. Lee looked around and saw a door on the side and walked towards it. Lee carefully opened the door, wishing he had his trusty axe in his hands. Lee looked around and all he saw was a mess, it looked like the students dorm back at the university. There was clothes, food, and trash all over and just to keep it classy, a bottle of whiskey on top of a crate. There was even a brown dirty mattress on the floor. However, despite all the clutter, there was nothing he could use to unhook the train. Lee punched the wall as hard as he could.

"God damn it" Lee growled. After all this, after seeing the group shrinking one by one, after all the hell they've been through, Lee finally began to lose hope. Suddenly something must have fell, for there was a small bang next to him. Alarmed lee looked around him, trying to see what or who made that noise. When he looked at his feet he saw Carley's video camera. As he bent down to grab it he must have pushed a button, because all of a sudden the screen turned on. Lee pushed the menu button and saw there was only one video, that video being recorded only yesterday. Lee took a deep breath, and pushed play.

A/N: DUN DUN DUN! What's going to happened next, find out next chapter!

Ok I'm so sorry for taking forever to update. I've been so busy and now I'm back at school, but I promise I will try my best to update as soon as I can. Wow, my first story and already there is positive feedback. Alright, and now a quick shout out.

To TeamAlecVolturi-Welcome brother, to the Walking Dead. From what I can tell no one has done a story like this before. When I played the game I was furious at Lilly when she shot Carley. When the two options showed up, I was yelling at my T.V. "You forgot the third option, shoot this crazy bitch!" Whenever I see that part I always think of that one song, Animal I Have Become by Threes Days Grace. I'm working on the next chapter and hopefully it will be posted soon.

To HeWhoDestroysAll- I'll definitely try to update soon, and I'm glad you enjoyed the first Chapter. I tried to make Lilly think that what she did was right, how the hell anyone can agree with that I have no idea. Now I hate to disappoint any of my readers, but Lee isn't going to be a demon throughout the story. Lee is a complex man; he is a good man with a good heart. However, when pushed into a corner, when someone is threatening or a danger to the group Lee snaps. He will do anything in his power to make sure that no one will hurt the group. He is a gentle guardian that can sadly turn into a demon when the going gets tough. He will however not however put up with Kenny being an asshole. Lee will try to help Kenny, but will not be Kenny's personal punching bag.
