Clem reached out to Gabe to grab the walker off his shoulders until a walker grabbed her wrist.

"Hold on Gabe!" Clem screamed out to him, determined to save him.

As Violet got out of the walker circle, she looked at both Clementine and Gabe who both needed help. Her forehead started to sweat in the stressful situation, not knowing who to save. She thought a million things in a matter of seconds, as there was barely any time to think about anything. Clementine was being held hostage by a walker, but she was already grabbing her knife from the side pocket. Violet made a decision in a second that felt like a lifetime.

"Ergh!" Violet huffed and grabbed the walker off of Gabe and stabbed a knife in its head. Not a second after, she saw Clem stab the other walker on the side of its temple. She made the right decision.

"Thank God," Gabe grabbed onto his knees and slouched as he gained breath. "Thank you, you saved my life."

"Hopefully it'll be the only time I have to," Violet gave him a soft smile.

"That's good!" Javi yelled at them from the tower. "We're opening the gates!"

The group started to circle together and walk back inside the gate as the walkers continued to close in. Everyone worked together to kill off the walkers that came too close as the gate closed shut.

Everyone regained their breath. Louis and AJ fell down on the floor in tiredness and sweat.

"Its, uh..." Kate started as she was taking deep breaths. "Not usually that bad."

Gabe wiped his forehead to clear it and started to laugh in between his breaths. It's not the first time he came face to face with death, but it made him happy that Violet saved him, knowing that he's not her favorite person at the moment.

"Kate! Gabe!" Javi came down from the watchtower and hugged them both. "You guys are okay. You are okay." Javi gave them both a kiss on top of their heads.

In between the heads of Kate and Gabe, Javi was searching the rest of the group for Clementine. They made eye contact while Javi was hugging the other two, and they smiled at each other.

Javi had to thank the blonde first, for saving Gabe, "Thank you. My name is Javi, I'm Gabriel's uncle. I saw what you did for him down there. I don't know what would've happened if you weren't there. I can't say thank you enough. Please, when we show you around, let me know if there's anything I can do for you."

Violet was bewildered by his gratitude, although she understood it. "It was no problem, Javi. We look out for each other." Violet gave him a smile as they both walked over to Clementine. She was talking to both Louis and AJ, who were sitting on the ground by the gate.

"No bites?" Clem asked AJ.

"No bites."

Clem helped Louis and AJ up. When she turned around. Javi was eager to talk to her.

"Clem! I'm so happy to see you." Javi gave her a quick warm hug that felt longer than needed. "I shouldn't be surprised that Kate found you."

"Actually," Clem scratched her head. "Only Gabe found me."

"Hm?" Javi turned his head to Kate and Gabe as they were talking to the new group about Richmond. Javi turned a confused look, as he only knew that they were traveling together. "I'll talk to them. I'm just so happy to see you. Did you find AJ?"

"I'm right here," AJ raised his hand to get his attention from Javi.

"Holy shit, right there you are!" Javi patted his shoulder. "I'm Javi, I knew Clementine when she was on her journey to find you. You were all she could talk about."
