Lee Pov:

3 Hours Later

When i woke up i found Yhwach and James talking as Clem and AJ slept. Once James and Yhwach were ready, I woke them up and we all headed back towards the Boarding School. 

As we approached the gate, Willy stood on the lookout with Kenny.

Kenny: They made it back! Open the gate! 

Kenny called out once he saw us, as he started to climb down from the lookout. 

Lee: You should stay... with us.

I suggested looking over at James. He sighed looking around.

James: Thanks, but I'm not ready to be in a group again, right now.

He shook his head turning to walk away. 

Clem held AJ's hand as she watched.

Clementine: Thank you.. for helping us.

She called to James. He looked back and nodded. 

James: It was the right thing to do.

He smiled as he continued off into the forest. 

The gates opened and Kenny rushed out with Violet and Louis behind him.

Violet: Thank God, you're okay.

Violet sighed walking up to Clem. 

Louis: Clems a natural. She knows how to handle herself.

Louis smiled. I chuckled as Kenny pulled me and Yhwach into a hug.  

Kenny: I thought we lost you guys. It's good to see you, Pal.

He smiled placing his hand on my shoulder.

Yhwach: Good to see you too, Kenny. 

Lee: We're alright. Let's get inside.

I suggested, and we all went inside, closing the gate behind us. Sarah rushed over to Clem pulling her into a hug as tears slid down her cheeks. 

Sarah: Clem! Oh my God... when Sam came back without you... I didn't know what to think.

She said as she held a tight grip around Clem.

Clementine: It's okay, Sarah. I'm okay.

Clem said hugging her back as Sam wagged his tail sniffing at her legs. 

Kenny: Lee Yhwach? Was I goin' crazy, or did I see you guys with a Walker? 

Kenny asked.

I chuckled.

Lee: You weren't goin' crazy, but he wasn't walker. He just blends in with them I guess. His name is James. He helped us.

I said shaking my head. 

Kenny: What happened?

Kenny raised an eyebrow looking concerned.

Lee: You're never gonna believe this, but... Lilly's alive.

Kenny's eyes wide.

Kenny: No way, she's still alive? 

He asked shocked. 

Lee: Yeah, and she's the leader of the group that took the twins. She wanted us to help them convince everyone here to come with them. Brody and Louis showed up and distracted them while we got away. It's only a matter of time before they come back for us.
