Clementine:
As soon as Jack heard Joshua, he got to his feet to follow him and attack the man. But before they could even approach, Ian and Haiden jumped in front of him.
"Back off, you jackass," Ian grunted, shoving Jack with his hands.
I noticed how far Jack stumbled back before Joshua caught him.
"You cannot fucking attack your own crusaders for a man who’s been capturing and torturing our innocent people," Joshua yelled.
While they argued, my eyes shifted to the side. Something was appearing in the far corner of the station.
"Guys," I muttered, trying to get their attention.
"That’s not up to you to decide, not after how you’ve shown you only care about your own squad. So don’t give us this lecture about sticking together, because we know damn well you never intended to stick with others, or stand up for them," Haiden shouted at Joshua, who straightened his shoulders, squaring himself up.
"Why are we even taking that bastard back to the mainland? Why give him a new life? We should leave him here for the monsters, after cutting off his legs so he can’t defend himself," Suki said. Immediately, Joshua and Jack started nodding.
I wondered who the real master was in their squad. At first it seemed like Joshua, but maybe he was just the face, and the others whispered in his ear. That still didn’t excuse his behavior. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Let the ringleaders decide what to do with him," I said, anxiously nudging Haiden’s arm, trying to pull his attention to what I was seeing at the station. Silhouettes were forming on the wall, but they didn’t clearly define whoever or whatever was casting them. I was confused.
"Of course, she comes in and suddenly everyone melts," Joshua smirked, mentioning me in that weird tone.
"I am sorry? Are you talking about Suki?" I shot back. His smile vanished. Jack’s face went blank, almost neutral.
"Hey, get my name out of your mouth," Suki hissed from behind Joshua. I couldn’t even look at her with Joshua and Jack standing tall and broad in front of her.
"Guys—" Troy’s anxious voice cut in, making me realize he had seen what I was seeing. The fucking fleshmingos had found a way into the station. Of course it wasn’t a haven, it was still part of the North. Sooner or later, those creatures were bound to show up.
"Guys, fucking—fucking get off our carriage!" I yelled, with the others shouting the same thing.
Oriana and her group tried to close the door. They managed to shut it, but it swung open again because the white squad members were still in our carriage.
And while everyone panicked, Joshua decided to be the biggest douchebag.
"It’s either the Carapamingus rex get in here, or you throw this man out for them to feed on. The choice is yours," he told the other squads.
And everybody started looking at us. Now he was using the others to control us, to turn them against us.
