The sound of walkers droned from the train station, extremely audible as Clem, Vi, Louis, AJ and I sneak up to the side of the fence.

Clementine: There. That’s where the food is. Lot more walkers than last time, though.

Louis: We’re gonna die.

Y/n: Better you than me.

Violet: It’s either we die here or die from hunger. Take your pick.

Y/n: Another option: Louis dies and we all survive.

He looked at me with mock offense, holding a hand to his heart.

Louis: You wound me, Y/n.

Violet rolled her eyes at our antics, turning to Clem.

Violet: Clem, maybe you should scope things out. You know the place better.

Clementine: Let me get a closer look. Can’t be too careful.

The girl climbed up onto one of the trains, looking from the roof over to the train station courtyard. She started talking to us quietly.

Clementine: We barely got out of here. It was close.

Violet: Sounds scary.

Y/n: Understatement.

Clementine: There’s a reason.

She looked down at the walkers, then to the roof of a train car.

Clementine: Could climb up there, but I don’t know how that would get us inside.

Then she looked down to a bell that hung beside the fence.

Clementine: I used that bell to attract a walker before. Could try it again.

Violet: They do like to follow sound…

Clementine turned back to us, climbing down from the roof.

Louis: You look like you’ve got an idea.

Clementine: The noise from that bell could draw a lot of walkers. If one of us climbs up there and starts ringing it --

Y/n: -- Louis. Definitely Louis.

Violet: Yup. Louis.

We all turned back to the boy, who’s eyes were wide with shock.

Louis: Uh, hold on. I’d like to make an alternate suggestion.

Violet: Come on, Lou. You’re loud, dramatic, a little annoying… You’re basically a walking distraction.

Y/n: Plus, if the walkers eat you, no one will miss you much.

Louis: Okay, that was harsh. And, Vi, I think you mean charming and theatrical. Entertaining is another word that comes to mind. Charismatic.

Y/n: We get it, you’re perfect for the job.

Clementine nodded.

Clementine: I think they pretty much summed it up.

Louis: Ouch. Alright, I see how it is.

I looked at Clementine, giving her a meaningful look.

Y/n: Violet and I will come with you, give you some cover.

Louis sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Louis: Fine, I’ll do it. But if I die, I’m making sure walker Louis eats you guys first. At least Y/n. I’ll distract them until I see you guys reach safe cover. Then I’ll try to redirect the smelly patrol to give you guys a chance to spring inside the building.
