"Louis, Violet, Alexis!" AJ shouts as Alexis, Violet and Louis later find him, Clementine and Tenn after splitting up from the others.
"You're not dead. That's good." Louis says as the group hugs Tenn, AJ and Clementine.
"Of course they are." Alexis says happily.
"We told you'd they'd be fine." Violet says.
"Did everyone else escape?" Clementine asks.
"Damn right. They took that cart and hauled ass back to the school." Louis says as he adjusts his coat.
"But you came to look for us." Clementine says as Alexis nods.
"Of course we did. Besides I told you I wasn't gonna leave your side again and I meant it." Alexis says.
"And it was either her go alone or we go with her." Louis says.
"And we chose to follow her." Violet says as she smiles.
"We do this together from now on. Right? No more making me leave?" Alexis asks as she looks at Clementine concernedly.
"Together from now on." Clementine says.
"Good." Alexis says as she hugs Clementine.
"It's over Clem. The raiders are gone and we got everyone out alive. They'll all be waiting for us back home." Louis says.
"Any idea which way that is?" Clementine asks.
"Good question. None of this really looks familiar to me. Any ideas Alexis, Louis?" Violet asks.
"Not really. Can't smell much of anything at the moment. At least anything familiar anyway." Alexis says as she shifts to wolf form and sniffs around.
"I haven't been out here in a while but I think there's a bridge... that way. It's the fastest way back." Louis says.
"Let's go." Clementine says as the group gets moving.
"I'll be so glad to be home." Alexis says as she walks next to Clementine before shifting to human form.
"You and me both. How's the cuts? More specifically how's your arm doing?" Clementine asks as Alexis looks down.
"Well it definitely hurts but I'll be okay. It's more the scars from the cuts that worry me. I didn't like my first scar being visible. Now I'll be covered in them no thanks to those raiders." Alexis says.
"Don't worry. The small ones shouldn't leave a scar if they do they'll be barely visible. The cut on your arm though is likely going to scar up where it's deep and still bleeding some from the looks of it. But with good care it shouldn't be too bad." Clementine says as she holds Alexis's hand in attempt to comfort her.
"Yeah." Alexis says as she sighs.
"I still think you'll look beautiful either way. Always did. And to be honest the fact you kept fighting despite getting cut as a result to that extent is pretty cool. Not sure I would of done that. But you kept fighting because the others needed you to give them hope to keep holding out. If that doesn't say you're a brave and persistent person I don't know what does. You did great back there. You should be proud. I know I definitely am. Even more proud having someone like you as my girlfriend." Clementine says proudly.
"Thanks Clem. I needed to hear that." Alexis says happily.
"Anytime." Clementine says as she smiles at Alexis before kissing her causing her to smile.
"I was honestly really worried that we were gonna die back there. But if you want the truth I was scared out of my mind. I honestly considered giving up. Just to be reunited with my parents. But then something made me regain my nerve and courage to keep fighting back. The same nerve that kept me fighting and alive all this time." Alexis says.
"What was that?" Clementine asks curiously.
"You." Alexis says as she smiles at Clementine.
"Me?" Clementine asks in surprise.
"When I was little I used to picture my mom when I was afraid because it gave me a sense of comfort. But now I don't even remember what my mom looked like. Now all I can picture is you. When I saw you in my mind all I could think about what you telling me to pick my ass up and not quit fighting even if it hurt. To keep my spirit alive for the sake of the others. While we were there the others looked to me for guidance because I was the only person there who had much common sense of how to react in situations like that where my life depended on it because I experienced them the most out of everyone apart from you and AJ. I just told myself to keep fighting because I knew that's what you would of done when others were looking for your guidance." Alexis says.
"Well some of my decisions haven't always been the brightest. But they've kept me alive. That much is for sure. And they've kept AJ alive." Clementine says.
"That says quite a bit itself. But either way I'm just happy to be going home with you. Now we can make the school safe for the better." Alexis says.
"Yeah. But if you could change anything about the school what would you change?" Clementine asks curiously.
"Honestly? Give it more plant life." Alexis says.
"Plant life?" Clementine asks curiously.
"Yeah. I loved the plant life around my home where I was born. Always something new to smell or see. It reminds me of home when I'm in the woods." Alexis says as she smiles.
"Certainly explains a lot." Clementine says as she chuckles.
"Hey! Okay smarty what would you change then?" Alexis asks as she chuckles.
"Honestly I'd put in a good kitchen. I loved cooking with my mom. Her food always gave me comfort. And she always had some kind of food cooking so the house always smelled delicious. I'd love to get a kitchen set up. A proper one at least." Clementine says.
"That sounds nice." Alexis says as she smiles.
"I want to help rebuild our school." Tenn says.
"So do I. Be nice for it to have a good change." Louis says.
"We all will. We can start as soon as we get back." Violet says.
*Timeskip*
"Okay. Just take your time. And keep moving forward." Clementine says as the group reaches an old bridge with several broken areas.
"That's... far." AJ says as the group reaches a gap in the bridge.
"Really far." Tenn says.
"Oh okay. That's a long drop down. One wrong miss step and... Oh I don't even wanna finish that sentence." Alexis says as she nervously looks down the gap before immediately backing away.
"I think we can jump it." Louis says.
"Should be able to. It's not that far." Violet says.
"Yeah I think we can. We just gotta be careful not to land too hard." Clementine says.
"Never mind the darkness. Never mind the storm. Never mind the blood-red moon. The night will be over soon." A voice says revealing to be Minerva as she holds up an axe covered in blood as she approaches the group.
"Minnie!" Tenn shouts happily as he goes to take a step forward before stopping as the group sees a herd of walkers following Minerva.
"I did it! I found you! Oh Tenn... My sweet little brother. Come with me." Minerva says.
"You're dying." Tenn says.
"Yes! Yes I am. I'm finally going someplace better. I want you there with me." Minerva says.
"Where everyone gets to be a person again..." Tenn says as he looks at Minerva.
"We're gonna go be with Mom and Dad and Sophie. Together. It won't be real if you're not there." Minerva says.
"Tenn look at me. I know that looks like her but your sister is gone." Clementine says as Tenn gives a nervous look.
"I'm..." Tenn says unsurely.
"She's not the person you loved anymore. She just looks like her. Don't let it trick you." AJ says.
"But I-" Tenn then gets cut off as everyone hears Minerva fire a gun into the air drawing the attention of the walkers.
"Don't you fucking speak to him! Any of you." Minerva says before the group hides behind a nearby truck.
"Minnie c'mon stop!" Louis shouts.
"Please... please Minnie stop!" Violet shouts.
"He needs to be with his family." Minerva shouts.
"If you really cared about your brother you would want him safe. This isn't safe for him!" Alexis says.
"Don't do this." Clementine says.
"Don't worry Tenn. She can try to stop me. But I'm not going anywhere without you. The night will be over soon." Minerva says before Tenn stands up causing Clementine to reach for him only to stop as Minerva fires her gun at her.
"Get down!" Clementine shouts before AJ tackles Tenn down as the walkers approach the group.
"Shit! They're coming! We gotta move!" Alexis says in alarm.
"I'll help the boys across the gap! Watch out for the walkers!" Violet says as she begins trying to help AJ and Tenn across the gap Clementine begins providing her cover from the walkers.
"Louis help keep us covered! Alexis help Violet!" Clementine shouts.
"Got it!" Alexis and Louis shouts as they do as told before the group sees Tenn isn't budging after Violet gets AJ across with Minerva continuing to fire at the group and walkers getting closer.
"I got AJ across but Tenn won't budge!" Violet says as she goes over to Clementine as Tenn crouches on the bridge with his arms and hands covering his head.
"I have to stop her!" Clementine shouts as she begins making her way toward Minerva as Alexis, Louis and Violet provide her cover.
"You are not his family! You're just something in my way. I'm taking Tenn home! I'm going home!" Minerva shouts as Clementine reaches her and begins fighting with her before Clementine manages to get her gun.
"Minnie! Minnie!" Tenn shouts as the group sees Clementine shoot Minerva in the shoulder making her stumble and get grabbed by the walkers as they begin to bite her before he runs toward Minerva.
"Tenn!" Alexis shouts in alarm.
"Get back here kid!" Louis shouts.
"Get across! I'll get Tenn!" Violet shouts as Clementine throws the axe across the bridge and then jumps across while dropping the gun as Violet goes for Tenn.
"Tennessee! Move your fucking ass now!" Violet shouts as AJ picks up the gun.
"No!" Minerva shouts.
"Tenn fucking move!" Louis shouts.
"Violet hurry!" Alexis shouts in alarm as the walkers are getting closer.
"Throw him!" AJ shouts before Violet grabs Tenn and throws him across the bridge only to get grabbed by walkers.
"Violet!" Alexis, Clementine, AJ and Louis shout in alarm as they see Violet get devoured by walkers sadly before seeing the walkers are approaching them.
"We gotta move." Clementine says.
"I... I did that..." Tenn says sadly.
"She died for you stupidhead! Wake up! Now! Or we'll die too!" AJ shouts as the group quickly runs away from the bridge.
*Timeskip*
"The monsters are gonna trap us!" AJ shouts in alarm as the walkers are getting closer.
"I know." Clementine says before the group runs over to a chain link fence.
"Uh... I'll- I'll climb over first then help you climb down the other side! Come on almost there! Okay come on!" Louis says as he climbs over the fence and helps Tenn get over the fence next.
"Louis!" Clementine shouts.
"Watch out!" Alexis shouts in alarm.
"Oh Fuck! Of come on! They just don't quit!" Louis shouts in alarm as he sees walkers surrounding him and Tenn before he kicks a walker in the knee.
"Clem look out!" AJ shouts as a walker approaches Clementine before Alexis impales it with a sharp rock.
"Damn it there are too many!" Louis shouts.
"Go! We'll find another way!" Clementine shouts.
"What about you?!" Tenn asks.
"You're trapped!" Louis shouts.
"We'll make it. Go!" Clementine shouts as the group splits up with her, Alexis and AJ coming to a stop at a cliff.
"Where to?" Alexis asks as she looks at Clementine with the walkers getting closer.
"We can climb there!" AJ says as he points to a climbable place in the cliff.
"Good idea. This first." Clementine says as she throws up the axe before Alexis climbs up the cliff and begins helping AJ up before he slips.
"Clem! Alexis!" AJ shouts as Clementine catches him before Alexis grabs his hand.
"We got you." Clementine says.
"Keep climbing AJ." Alexis says as she and Clementine help AJ up the cliff.
"Go I'm right behind you!" Clementine shouts as she begins climbing up before Alexis extends her hand to her.
"Grab hold Clem!" Alexis shouts before a walker grabs her and bites her leg much to Clementine and Alexis's horror.
"No!" AJ shouts before he shoots the walker as Alexis helps Clementine up to the top of the cliff.
"Clem... Your leg..." Alexis says as she looks at Clementine's leg and sees it's covered in blood as Clementine looks at it and sees the bite.
"I got bit. C'mon. We can't stay here. Keep moving forward. Keep moving...forward. Keep moving..." Clementine says as Alexis helps her walk.
"Forward." AJ says.
"Forward." Clementine says as the group keeps moving.
