Here's a 4000+ word chapter as compensation for my abscence.

Third Person POV

After a long walk, Clem, Vi, Louis, and AJ sneak up to the train station, which is swarming with walkers.

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

Louis: We're gonna die.

Violet: It's either die here or die from hunger. Take your pick. Clem, maybe you should scope things out. You know the place better.

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

Clem climbs up to the train. Clem looks at the dead walker that Y/N killed which was under some sheet metal.

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

Violet: Sounds scary.

Clementine: There's a reason.

Clem looks at the walkers.

Clementine: We need to get in there somehow. Maybe there's another way in...

Clem looks at a train car.

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

Clem looks at the bell.

Clementine: That bell... might be able to get the walkers' attention.

Violet: They do like to follow sound...

After Clem looks around the area more, she returns to the others.

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...

Violet: Louis. I vote Louis.

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.

Louis: I think you mean charming and theatrical. Entertaining is another word that comes to mind. Charismatic.

Violet: See what I mean?

Clementine: I think she pretty much summed it up.

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

Violet takes out her cleaver.

Violet: I'll go with you. Give you some cover.

Louis: Fine, I'll do it. But if I die, I'm making sure walker Louis eats both of you first.

Louis gets up and walks towards the bell with Clementine behind her.

Louis: 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 sprint inside the building.

Clementine: When we get into position, I'll signal you. Then you can do your thing.

Louis: Good luck.

Louis takes the bell and climbs onto the train car. He hits the bell and the Chairles against the train car to distract the walkers.

Louis: Hey, ugly! No, not you. Not you, either. Him! Fine. Make this confusing, why don't you?
