We're In This Together

Chapter 61 - Ghost

You were walking in the woods towards the main with AJ and Clem. Louis and Violet were trailing close behind.

AJ: Will we get another car?

You sigh.

Y/N: No, if I'm honest. We were lucky before.

AJ: So, we're walking... My shoes are gonna break.

Clementine: We'll just have to hope they hold out.

AJ: My feet are gonna bleed again.

Y/N: Then I'll have to put you on my shoulders or something.

Clementine: Or we'll tie a shirt around them.

Louis: It's not so bad.

You and Clem scowl at him.

Y/N: Oh, brother. Don't act you give a fuck now.

AJ: Swear.

Y/N: Sorry.

Louis: I'm just saying, you guys done this before. It's almost like going home for you guys.

Y/N: Yep. I'm so excited to be "home"! Can't wait to see what will kill us! What do you think, Clem? Walkers? Bandits? Raiders? Hypothermia? Starvation? Dehydration?

Clementine: Hmm... Dunno, Y/N. Our "home" is so great though! Isn't it?

Y/N: Would you like be our guest, Louis? "It's not so bad."

You glared at him. He frowns and bows his head as you all continued to walk.

Violet: Well, we're here. Road's just down that way. Anything you would like to say before we go?

Louis: I've said plenty.

AJ: Thanks for trying to keep us.

Violet: You're welcome. I wish you could stay.

Y/N: Hopefully we'll see each other down the line.

Clementine: If we don't get killed tonight.

Violet: I'm sorry, guys. Half of them are convinced you're as bad as Marlon, or worse. Good... Good luck out there. Stay safe, all of you.

They both walk away.

Y/N: Welp. That was nice... while it lasted.

Clementine: Let's get going. The sun'll set soon.

AJ: How do you know?

Clementine: I don't know, I can just feel it.

Y/N: And we've been walking all day.

AJ: How do you feel it?

You all started walking.

Clementine: There's this cold that settles on my skin. It happens right before a storm, too.

AJ: I don't feel it.

Clementine: Well, you haven't been on the road as long as Y/N and I.

Y/N: You know, for the five minutes we've been out here, I've been thinking... We're fucked! They couldn't even spare some food that we helped get. That I took a bullet for.

AJ: Will we be okay?

Clementine: Of course we'll be okay. We're used to this.

AJ: I hate it out here. I wish we could go back.

Y/N: I know you do.

Suddenly, buckshots fly into a tree next you, sending barking everywhere.

Y/N: Hide!
