Skipping Abel's interrogation

Y/N's POV

Me, Clem, AJ, and Willy are walking through the forest to look for Delta's boat.

Clementine: Once we find their boat. We'll have to find a way to sneak on board.

Willy: If Tenn doesn't fuck up this time.

AJ: It wasn't Tenn's fault.

Willy: Yes, it was! Mitch died because he--

AJ: Say one more thing about Tenn. I dare you.

Y/N: Guys, there it is!

The boat was armored. We sneak up until we find a safe spot. AJ got his binoculars out.

Clementine: See anything?

AJ: The beach, a boat, and uh...a wood street in the water.

Clementine: The pier?

AJ: Yeah.

Clementine: Let's focus on those areas.

As I was looking at the boat. Clem walked up to me.

Clementine: See anything?

Y/N: Not yet. I'm trying to find Louis and Violet. I'm worried about them.

Clem puts her hand on my shoulder.

I then saw Louis and Violet being walked in the boat.

Y/N: Found them!

Which confirmed that we have found the right place.

Clementine: We'll need a distraction to get inside.

Raider: Walkers!

The raider shot the walkers nearby.

Y/N: Looks like we'll need a lot of walkers.

Clementine: Let's get out of here and talk about the plan.

We get to a safe distance away from the boat.

Y/N: What's the plan?

Clementine: We'll need to distract the guards to get inside.

AJ: We should burn their stuff.

Clementine: Yeah, that'd work. That, or burn the hay.

Willy: Anything we don't burn, we should take.

Clementine: We can do both, burn the hay, and steal supplies.

Y/N: Anyway to get the walkers?

Clementine: I can ask James. Me and AJ can go find him and convince him to lead the walkers here and blend in with them.

We see someone chopping wood. We hide.

Y/N: Must be a raider.

Clementine: I'll sneak behind 'em.

Y/N: Be careful.

Clem nods.

She sneaks behind the raider and takes her knife out, She puts it around her neck. I recognize the raider.

Y/N: Clem! stop!

I walk up to them, Clem lets go of the raider and she turns around.

Y/N: Minnie!

Minnie: Y/N!

We hug. I couldn't believe she was alive. That must mean Sophie is too!

Minnie: After the attack, I wasn't sure. I heard they burned half of your school down.

Everyone walks over.

Minnie: Who survived?

Willy: Ruby and Tenn made it. Mitch didn't. And Brody died.

Minnie: Tenn's boots holding up okay?

AJ: His boots?

Minerva: They're so old, they're more holes than rubber.

Clementine: His boots are fine.

Minnie: You're Clementine. You are the one who took over after Marlon died. I thought everyone would lean on their own. Not the new kid.

Clementine: Yeah. I am. You got a problem?

Minnie: Abel figured he could talk Marlon into handing everyone over, like they did before. You ruined the whole plan.

Y/N: What are you talking about? Marlon traded you and Sophie like it was nothing!

Minnie: And we all survived! Marlon wouldn't have made them fight like you did. People wouldn't have died.

Y/N: That's horseshit. Clem saved us.

Minnie: Then how come so many people are dead?

Clementine: Marlon murdered Brody!

Minerva: What?

Y/N: Minnie? Where's Sophie? Please tell me?

Minerva: She...died protecting the delta. A hero.

Y/N: No......

Clementine: A hero?!

Lilly: Minerva!

All of us except Minnie hides.

Minnie: Rockingham!

Lilly: Finish up and head back. I want to be in before dark.

Minnie: Yes ma'am.

Lilly walks away. Minnie picks up her axe.

Minerva: Our boat leaves in two days. Then it'll be two weeks before we come back for the rest of you. Don't fight when we do. It will be the only way you save your people.

Clementine: You can come with us. You can come home.

Minerva looks down and stays silent for a bit.

Minerva: I can't.

She then runs off. Clem notices my frown.

Clementine: You okay Y/N?

Y/N: I'm fine. We still need to get on the boat.

Clementine: You guys head home. Get everyone caught up and get ready.

Willy: Everyone except Tenn.

AJ: I warned you.

Clementine: Enough, both of you. I can go find James.

AJ: I will go with you.

Clementine: Good. Everyone else can go.

Everyone except Clem and AJ start heading back to the school.
