Clem, AJ, and you followed behind Louis and Violet. Louis is armed with his signature chair leg. Violet is armed with a wooden bow. Its wire is slipped onto her shoulder, keeping it from falling off.

AJ sighs, his eyes glancing at Clem and you. "Hey.. Clem and Y/N. Will we get another car?" He asks, You look over at him, thinking for a moment before answering, "Well, I'm not really sure. With our luck probably not." His shoulders sag, "Hey don't worry goofball. We'll find something. We always do." Clem says as she smiles lightly. She pats him on the shoulder and he smiles.

AJ's face glows, "Hmph, I doubt that. I haven't seen a car in years." Louis says, he looks back at AJ and you shoot him a glare. He immediately returns his attention to the front of him.

"Sorry," Violet says to Clem and You, "Louis your a dick." Louis stops in the middle of the woods, you glance uncertainly at him. "Well this is it, the roads that way." Louis says as he nods behind him. "Do you guys have anything to say?"

You shrug, Clementine looks over at Violet then back at Louis. You watch as she sighs. She takes a step forward before AJ speaks. "I'm sorry, Louis, I know Marlon was your friend. I-I." He takes a moment to breathe. Louis looks down at the ground, you watch as he frowns, you can almost feel the sadness in it.

"Here's your gun, just make sure to stay safe." Louis says as he pulls AJ's pistol from his pocket, the sunlight glints off the dirty metal, "I will, Thanks." AJ responds, taking the pistol from Louis. He places it in the  back of the waistband.

Violet waves goodbye as Louis and her walk away, towards the way you came. "Let's go it's getting dark." You say, Clementine nods. The three of you start walking as AJ speaks. "How do you know?" He asks.

"I just get this feeling under my skin, same thing happens before a storm." You say, he nods quietly and continues walking.

There's a loud crunch in the leaves to your right, almost on instinct you unsheathe your knife and look towards your left. Clem does the same.

Something catches your eye, a glint off of something metal. It only takes your mind a second to realize what it does, Instinctively you drop down into the brush. "Clem, AJ! Get down!" You shout, Clem pushes AJ down onto the ground, then also ducks onto the ground just before a gunshot ripples through the air.

Sorry for the wait but I am officially back. Hope you enjoyed this new part, I'm going to start updating this more frequently.
