Previously, on The Sun Will Be Rising Soon...

While searching for a place to call home, (Y/N), AJ and I found an old boarding school, run by kids, deep in the forest.

Marlon gestures around to the school, a smile on his face as Clement looks around with uncertainty, a bandage around his head.

...

Their leader was a guy named Marlon. When (Y/N) found out the truth about the twins from Brody, he killed her and tried to blame (Y/N).

Marlon looks around with fearful eyes, (Y/N) standing in front of him with an angry, hurt look as Clement glares at him sharply.

We talked him down, but then he was shot dead.

A bullet goes through Marlon's forehead, right between his eyes.

And AJ was the one who pulled the trigger.

AJ stands a few feet from the group, a frown of confusion on his face at their horror.

...

(Y/N) and I told AJ what he'd done was murder. That he'd have to atone for it.

Clement stands besides (Y/N) in their room, AJ behind them with a frown of guilt.

The other kids agreed. But... they voted to kick us out.

Violet scowls at the floor, Louis standing off to the side with a far off look with his arms folded over his chest.

...

I thought we would never return. Then...

Clement had a snarl on his face as a boot was planted against the back of his head, his hand on the gravel besides it.

We were attacked by Abel, one of the raiders Marlon had given the twins to.

(Y/N) was knocked to the ground by Abel, AJ hit as well as Clement refrains from acting rash.

He was with someone (Y/N) and I thought we'd never see again.

(Y/N) darts for the mystery woman as she harms Clement, making her swiftly turn and bash her elbow against her face and knock her down. Clement tries to move as well, making the woman apply more pressure to her foot as AJ yells her name and Clement's.

Lilly.

(Y/N) looks up with a hiss of pain, Lilly looking down the barrel of her gun back at her.

...

We escaped them, and (Y/N) was badly injured. AJ and I did our best to protect her from the walkers that showed up, when suddenly...

Clement goes to attack another walker, one of them grabbing him with a hand clamped over his mouth.

One of them spoke to me. His name was James, an ex-Whisperer who didn't believe in killing walkers.

...

They sit around the fire, James staring down at it quietly with his mask on the log beside him.

He helped me treat (Y/N), but without real medicine, she wouldn't make it. I couldn't stand the thought of losing her, so we went back.

...

The kids didn't turn away the sad sight of (Y/N), and let us back inside.

Clement stands outside the gates of the school with (Y/N) in his arms, AJ yelling for help a few feet ahead.
