First Person
Our group stood in the middle of the clearing, in the cover of some bushes beside the Delta’ boat. We all watched as the raiders shot down a walker and me and Clem rushed over to drag it over. All of us stood around it in a circle.
Ruby: Ugh. I guess we’re really doing this.
Clementine: Only the team blending in with the walkers need to cover themselves.
Ruby: Now we just need your walker friend to--
AJ: He’s here!
Ruby: Good Lord.
We all jumped as we saw James standing behind us, already wearing his walker skin.
James: Uh… hello.
Y/n: So, this is James.
AJ: He’s my friend.
Tenn: He’s… uh…
Willy: So. Cool! How do you get the skin like that?
The boy pounced forward, trying to touch it. James looked at both me and Clem, giving us a nervous look.
James: Oh, I, um… Clementine? Y/n?
Willy: Can I try it on?
James: That’s not a good idea.
Willy: Come on, please.
Clementine: Willy, come on. Give him some space.
Willy: But I just want to--
Y/n: Not the time.
Willy: Yeah. Right… sorry. I didn’t mean to be weird or anything.
James: It’s okay.
Willy: Oh, and sorry I tried to shoot you that one time. Your mask looks so real.
Violet: I, uh… hey. Hey there, James. Sorry about Willy.
He nodded to her and then turned to me and Clem.
James: Um, could I speak to you both? Alone? Just for a moment.
Y/n: Yeah, sure.
I saw Violet get Tenn’s attention, pulling him away from the group.
Violet: Hey, Tenn, can you come talk for a sec? There’s something I have to tell you.
I walked off with Clem and James, standing in another area, behind some bushes. We could still see the boat directly in front of us.
James: The walkers. They’ll be here in a little while. You can join them as they pass through the trees. The noise from the boat will draw them toward the water.
Y/n: Then we can get on board and save our friends.
James: Your friends are… different. Open-minded. Accepting. Like you. That’s not usually how my first impressions go. Sorry. I feel like I’m rambling. It’s just… being welcomed. It’s strange. That one boy called me… ‘cool’. Not sure anyone’s ever said that to me, except you, Y/n/n.
Clementine: You know, they could be your friends too. I know you didn’t want to come into the school before, but now that you’ve met them…
James: I haven’t lived with people in a long time. But… it does sound nice. Let me think about it.
The boy took off his mask, looking out onto the water.
