Later that day, the sun was rising, and was about to be morning any minute. And only a few miles to arrive back to the school. In the woods, Clementine and AJ were walking up front, Clementine holding the axe she took away from Minnie and AJ holding his gun out too. And as for (YN)...he was walking behind them, and yet due of him being bitten, his skin began to slowly turn pale...the theee were very quiet, well Clementine and AJ only of course, the the two were very much saddened ... and (YN) trying to cheer them up to not think about his bite much...

(YN): H-Hey, I got a joke for you guys...why do crabs don't give charity?

Clementine: .....

AJ: ....

(YN): ...Cause they're "Shell-fish". Ba-Dum TSS...hehe.

Clementine: (YN)....nows not the time..

AJ: Yea....and, it wasn't even that funny...

(YN): Aww come now, trynna cheer you guys up...heh.

The two stood quiet again, and felt even bad by looking at him not feeling good...

(YN): Hey...no matter what...I love the both of you...but, you have to stop thinking about it...there wasn't anything to do about it...

Clementine covered her eyes to not burst tears out and to hold it back as much as she can...

(YN): Aw Clem, I-*coughs*

(YN) started coughing as the bite was getting to him already more, he drops down to the ground on his knees as Clem and AJ go after him...

Clementine: Come on..you can still walk, right?!

(YN): Y-Yeah...fuck.

AJ: ...There's gotta be something.

Clementine: ...AJ...as much I agree with you, but...like (YN) said, there's nothing we can do about it...all we can do is keep moving-

Suddenly, some of the walkers spot them and to walk over to them...

(YN): Damn it..!

AJ: Look! Over there, Jame's barn!

(YN): Good, you and Clem make a run for it over and get it open.

Clementine: And you?!

(YN): I'll catch you up both! Run! Now!

Clementine and AJ make a run for it to go get the bane open...(YN) stood up and can barely move still, he started walking over as more walkers started appearing. He pulls his knife and started stabbing them one by one through their heads. After that, he was close to get there...but suddenly, he lost balance and collapsed to the ground and lost bit of strength to keep on his feet...

Clementine: (YN)!!

AJ: I'll get him!

AJ goes save (YN), he carry him and to support him to walk over to the barn as Clem has the door opened for them. Once they made it, they and Clem rush in and to close the doors, her and (YN) were blocking the door to not let the walkers in, but were so much they can't hold it much longer...

(YN): We cant..hold onto much..!!

Clementine: AJ, find something to pry the door handles! A stick, any!

AJ: Okay! ...Oh! There!

AJ spots a Pitchfork and to use it the bar the door handles to keep the doors shut and not let the walkers come in. But more of them were surrounding the barn as they started to break in from the walls, and there they can see more doors they shut to keep them away...

Clementine: We need to get those pen doors closed before they break in.

(YN): Okay, we can-

(YN) again collapses to the ground and lost balance again and his strength to keep up...he crawls up and leans towards some hays.

(YN): Sh-Shit...I-I can't...move that much. Don't worry about our me...focus on shutting those doors, now...!

AJ hands (YN) his gun...

AJ: Cover us.

With (YN) covering them, Clementine and AJ both head over to shut the stall doors on each side. AJ manage to shut on before they come in. Clementine as well, but a Walker tries to barge in as Clem kicks it away and shuts the door on them. But then, three of them manage to come in and go after AJ as Clem was busy shutting the other door.

Clementine: AJ! Here!

Clementine tosses him her knife.

(YN): Don't be scared AJ...you're strong, and brave..! You got this! I know you can...!

Clementine: You can do it!

AJ was getting hope, and to charge to the walkers with the knife on his hand. He kicks their knees first and stabbing them through the head, and does it to the other two walkers. After that, two walkers creep up behind AJ and (YN) shooting them down with the gun....AJ goes and to shut the stall door where they came from. Clementine then drags a heavy wagon with dirt to block the stall door from keeping them coming in.
.

After that, they manage to shut all the stall doors from them to come in.

(YN): Heh...good job you two, y'all did great..

They notice his skin getting more pale and feeling more worse...

AJ: Okay, now what?

(YN): You two need to find a way out of here.

AJ: We can climb up there, the monastery's can reach us from up there. Come on, let's go, easy does it.

(YN): ...

Clementine: Please...just try.

(YN) use everything of his strength to get on his feet...but couldn't as he again falls back...

AJ: You can't give up...you can't! You're strong, you have to get up..! Right Clem?

As AJ looks at Clem....she began to shed tears, and could not take it no more to see in the condition (YN) is in already...she walks up to him and sits next to him and to held his hand...

(YN): Aw Clem...

Clementine: Th-This wasn't suppose to happen..! I just...AJ needs you...I need you..

(YN): ...Come on babe, don't be upset...this is just what happens sometimes...or I like to say...shit happens.

AJ: But how? There's a bunch of walkers outside...

(YN): You should know this bud...to get pass them, you need to make sure they don't smell you. So...Clem?

Clementine: ...I got it.

Clementine: B-But I don't want you to turn into one of them...!

(YN): ...You have to. It's the only-
