We returned to the school with the bags. "Took y'all a while." Ruby said.
"'How poor are they that have not patience.'" Louis quoted. We sat the bags down and Mitch, Aasim, and Willy came by. "That's like, a lot of food." Mitch said in shock.
"Observant as ever, Mitch." Louis stated.
"You're our savior, guys." Willy said to me and Clem.
"Louis and Violet helped too. We did it was a team." Clem said.
"Neither of them ever brought back this much before." Aasim told us.
"And neither have you." Louis shot at him, defending himself and Violet.
"Where did you find all this?" Brody asked.
"The old train station." Louis said.
"Thats outside the safe zone." Brody said.
"Would have had more if this creep didn't take some." Violet said.
"Did he follow you?" Brody asked, seeming frightened.
"No, we gave him some food and he left." Clem told her.
"Now he knows we're out here, and he'll come back for more!"
"If I hadn't done what I did, he would have shot us. I made the right call." Clem told Brody.
"Bullshit!" Brody shouted. "You don't know what people are capable of out there!"
"Marlon! Come get your girlfriend!" I yelled.
"The hell's going on here?" Marlon asked.
"She took them outside the safe zone... They SAW someone! You know what that means!" Brody told Marlon.
"It just means there's a hungry guy out there looking for food. Its happened before. You are overreacting." Marlon said to Brody. She punched Marlon to the ground. "If ANYTHING happens, I'm holding YOU TWO responsible!" Brody concluded, pointing at us. She started walking away to the school.
"Leaving us again? What a fucking shocker!" I told her. Marlon got up and looked at us. "I know I asked you for help. And you did. You did. But...shit." Marlon face palmed.
"Sorry we left the safe zone. There was no other option." I told him.
"Its fine. Its just hard keeping this together. Well...at least we're eating tonight. For the next few, I'd wager." Marlon said. He followed after Brody. "I'll go talk to Brody, or, 'my girlfriend'." Marlon looked at me. "Thanks for the haul. You guys should go enjoy it. You've earned it." Marlon left.
"Don't sweat it, guys. She's been like that since Minnie and Sophie died." Violet said. "I'm gonna go get cleaned up." Violet got up. Louis did too.
"They're just sad because of the twins." Tenn said.
"Aren't you?" I asked.
"Not really. Dyings not scary." He said. We were in shock, hearing him say that. "I try not to focus on them being gone. I like picturing where they'd be now instead. It doesn't scare me knowing theres something waiting on the other side." Tenn said.
"Sounds like it would be a nice place to end up." Clem said. I looked at the paper he was drawing on and saw two other people. "Who are those two?"
"The walkers that killed them. I imagine this is what they would look like." Tenn told me.
"Why do you want them in there?" Clem asked.
"They weren't always walkers."
"Can I be in there?" AJ asked.
"Sure." Tenn drew AJ on the paper. "Do you guys wanna be in it?"
"Sure. Why not?" Clem said. Tenn drew us onto the paper and gave it to us. "Its yours."
"Its ours." Tenn said.
"We should probably go to bed." I said.

We returned to our dorm room. "Time for bed, AJ." Clem said.
"Can I stay up?" AJ asked.
"Nope. Not tonight." I said.
"Two more minutes?" He asked.
"Lay down and we'll see." I told him. AJ jumped in bed. "I like it here." He said to us. "I got to join Team Fun. Its nice, not driving and running away." AJ said.
"We like it here too, AJ." Clem said. "Its good to stay somewhere."
"Why did you let that man go?" AJ asked us.
"AJ, listen. Attacking that guy would have been worth it if he was attacking us. All he did was take some food. This wasn't the time to fight." I told him. I climbed up the ladder.
"It makes us soft." AJ said. Clem started tickling AJ. "Who's Mr Softy now?" She asked. We just laughed as AJ giggled. "You got to stay up two more minutes." I said. Clem went to bed after placing down the skulls we had. I knew this was it. We were done running.
