Chapter 107: Nightmare

                                    

                                          
Y/N's POV
                          
It's been two weeks. We've been preparing for the raiders to come attack us. Me, Clem, and AJ were sleeping. But I wake up due to Clem who was sweating and shaking. She was having a nightmare.
                          
Y/N: Clem?
                          
I start shaking her.
                          
Y/N: Clem, Wake up!
                          
After shaking her for a bit, she finally jerks up and starts panting. I pull her into a hug. AJ wakes up. 
                          
Y/N: Hey, hey, It's okay, It's okay.
                          
Clementine: I'm sorry. It's just an nightmare.
                          
Y/N: It's fine.
                          
We see AJ on top of our dresser.
                          
Y/N: Why're you up?
                          
AJ: Clem was having an nightmare.
                          
I see AJ holding a knife.
                          
Clementine: Did you have a bad dream as well? You've been having them too.
                          
AJ: I feel safer like this. Not sleeping. I wanna stay up forever. I think I could. If I tried hard.
                          
Clementine: We're safe here, AJ. 
                          
AJ: Doesn't feel like it.
                          
Clementine: Let's get you back to bed. 
                          
AJ: No. You guys don't have to keep checking on me. You always say, be tough. So I am. Be strong. And I will. And brave, all the time.
                          
Y/N: You're the toughest boy we know. The toughest boy in the whole world.
                          
AJ: Not as tough like you guys.
                          
Clementine: Well, No one is as tough as us.
                          
AJ: I'm sorry you guys have to do all of the hard work. To atone me. I'm gonna help more.
                          
AJ gets off the dresser and starts walking.
                          
Y/N: Where are you going?
                          
AJ: On patrol.
                          
Clementine: Patrol?
                          
AJ: For danger. Bad people. Monsters. And nightmares.
                          
Y/N: How about you stay here? I can make sure no more nightmares come.
                          
AJ: You can't do that. You're not magic.
                          
Clementine: What if I am?
                          
AJ starts to laugh. I laugh too.
                          
AJ: Can I... maybe sleep in your bed? Like when I was little?
                          
Y/N: Of course you can.
                          
AJ: I'm not scared. Just tired.
                          
AJ gets in the middle of me and Clem on the bed.
                          
Clementine: AJ?
                          
AJ: What?
                          
Clementine: You're still little.
                          
AJ: Yeah, I know.
                          
Y/N: It's not a bad thing, Clem is still a little short.
                          
AJ lets out a small giggle as Clem reaches over AJ and playfully punches me in the arm. We all drift off to sleep.
