A/N: Hey guys! A lot of you wanted a sequel to Butterflies, but sequels are really not my thing, so I'm going to do a rewrite instead. So yes, this is Butterflies, but under a new title and summary. Feel free to leave suggestions and that stuff of what you'd like to see, or whatever. PM me if you have any requests/questions/concerns. And if you haven't read Butterflies, go check it out! Okay, enough of my ranting, enjoy the story. Oh yeah, and tomorrow is my 18th birthday just to throw that out there, haha.

The night is quiet in the cabin, but that's how it usually is once it's time for the lights to go out. Exhaustion from the days events have usually set in by now, and the majority of the group is already in bed. The majority of them, with the exception of two girls. "Have you ever read this book?" Sarah asked as she held up a hard covered book in her small hands; a picture of a deep green forest illustrated on the front of it. Clementine shakes her head as she stares up at the book. "It's really good." Sarah continues to talk, her dark eyes lighting up slightly because she's talking about something she likes. "It's about two girls who go on a magical adventure." She tells Clem. "You can borrow it if you want to." Sarah blushes, and stammers slightly, realizing that she's been the one talking an awful lot here in the past few moments. She didn't want to bore Clementine. The last thing she wanted to do was put her foot in her mouth, something that her dad told her that she did a lot.

It's quiet between the two young girls in Sarah's room, the only sounds were their gentle breaths coming from them. It had been almost two weeks since Clementine arrived at this isolated cabin house thing in the woods, and Rebecca, Alvin, Pete, Luke, Carlos, and Nick, had let her stay here. Of course, since she'd been here, Pete had faced a tragic death, but other than that, things seemed to be going pretty well. Clem didn't think she'd enjoy being with a group after she'd been alone for so long, but she was wrong, she actually liked it a lot. She was adjusting to staying with a big group again, and adjusting to their rules and life. It wasn't bad, and it actually was going pretty nice. Clem was staying in Sarah's room with her, but it was nice having a friend, and feeling like you belonged somewhere again. And she was sure that Sarah enjoyed it as well, what with the teen girl not having a lot of other people close to her age around her.

"I'll read it later." Clementine nods, referring to the book with the forest on the cover. "It does sound like a good book." She adds.

"Good." Sarah smiles. A yawn suddenly escaped Clementine's mouth, and both the girls then realize that it is getting late, later than both of them are allowed to stay up. Those were Carlos' rules, and if they didn't follow the rules, they'd get in trouble. In a way, Clementine liked the rules, they made her feel normal again, like a kid, instead of a human being forced to make difficult decisions that you might regret in the morning. "Are you tired?" Sarah asked, pulling the younger girl out of her thoughts.

"A little." The younger girl answers and wipes her eyes from the sleepiness. "We should be getting to sleep. Your dad doesn't like when we stay up late." She adds and stands up. The bed is small, but the two sleep in it together. Of course, they didn't have any other options, but Clementine enjoyed sharing a bed with the older girl. They find comfort in each other; in knowing that someone else is there, and that they aren't alone. Someone is always there right beside you. Sarah nods in agreement and climbs into the bed first, getting under the blankets because it is a little chilly tonight. Clementine follows suit and does the same, scooting in beside the older girl.

"Lights out girls!" Carlos knocks on Sarah's door, signaling it was time for them to go to sleep. He doesn't come in though, and both girls are thankful for that. Neither of them enjoyed hearing Carlos' lectures about going to bed on time. Of course, when Clementine was younger Lee would have done the same thing... But the times are so much different now... So many things had gone and changed without anything to stop them. It was always inevitable though, because in this world, whatever happens, happens, and you can't do anything about it.

"Goodnight Clementine." Sarah whispers and turns out the lamp that sits beside her bed.

"Goodnight Sarah." Clem replies as she wraps her arms around the older girl and closes her eyes.

This is how their life went usually; this was a regular normal day for them. They'd wake up, go downstairs and eat whatever mush there was for breakfast, talk to some of the other members in their survivor group, and then talk or play fro the rest of the day. It was refreshing for Clementine to say the least. She couldn't even remember the last time that she got to act like a kid, or her age rather. She was so tired of wondering where in the world she was going to sleep for the night, or what she was going to have for a meal that day, and now, here with everyone, here with Sarah, she didn't have to worry about that anymore. She could just live without worries, like she was supposed to, like the kid she really was.

Of course, this new life didn't stop the previous memories from her old one from coming back. Clem still had dreams and nightmares about Lee, about Duck, about Christa, and everyone else from her old family that died. But ever since she met Sarah, ever since the older girl helped her get the stuff to fix her arm, ever since they made that little pinkie promise, Clementine felt lighter somehow. It was as if Sarah was making her feel better. And the two girls were totally inseparable. But Clem wouldn't have it any other way; she loved being around Sarah. The teen girl just had this certain aura about her, one that seemed to light up a room, one that you couldn't take your eyes away from her. She was special, that was for sure.

You'd think in the apocalypse, you wouldn't want to get closer to anybody else; after everyone you knew had died. At least, that was the way Clem used to be. After she had lost everyone, she didn't want anything else that she could lose, so she isolated herself, well, until now. Clementine didn't want to get attached to people, but she had seen so many deaths by now, she'd become immune to it, and it didn't bother her anymore. She hardly felt normal, but once you saw everything that she had been through, there was no going back. She had become hardened by this cruel world. She wasn't like Sarah; the two girls were polar opposites if you wanted to compare them in that way. Maybe that was why Clementine was drawn to the older girl so much. It was because Sarah was good, and pure, and everything sweet that was left in this world. The apocalypse hadn't changed her, and Clem loved that. She made her feel like everything was normal again, and that was a very good feeling.

There was something about them that kept them close to each other, but Clementine didn't mind. She had a feeling that Sarah didn't mind either. They needed each other in this awful time, and sometimes, just sometimes when it was quiet in the house and they were alone with each other, Sarah could make Clementine forget. Forget about everyone who had suffered their tragic deaths, forget about her undead parents, forget that this world had gone to shit and everything was falling apart. When they were together, it was almost like before. Before all this crazy stuff happened. That was the effect that Sarah could have on somebody, and it was amazing. It was one of those butterfly type feelings. The kind that make you feel nervous, but the good kind of nervous. That was the only way Clem could explain it.
