"Hands up!" I heard one man shout but instead of putting my hands up, I grabbed my crossbow from behind me and aimed it at the stockier one's head while everyone else pulled out their weapons.
"We're not afraid to shoot!" The stockier man told us.
"We ain't afraid to shoot either," I replied and the shorter man glared at me.
"Alright, how about we put our guns down and have a peaceful discussion?" Rick asked and I heard Sasha snort.
"They started it," Sasha told him, her gun raised at the shorter man.
"If you don't put your gun down on 3, we'll shoot," The shorter man ordered as he aimed at Carl and the stockier one aimed for Beth.
I quickly placed Beth behind me as Rick quickly put Carl behind him and I could tell Carl was a little peeved that he was still treated like a little kid.
"Ryan! Paul!" I heard someone, most likely a female, bark and the men's faces paled.
"What the fucking hell are you doing? Raising your guns at these people, I'm gone for fucking 4 hours to hunt and I come back to see you raise your guns at children? You aren't back at your bandit group, this is a safe haven for fucking everyone and I fucking bet that you attracted damn walkers with that gunshot!" A woman with chocolate brown hair pulled into some fancy bun nudged me over as she went to yell at the pale faced men.
"Apologies boss," The stockier man apologized and I arched my eyebrows.
So she's in charge of these men.
While they were arguing, I decided to take a look at her.
She was about an inch shorter than me (I'm 5'8") but she still looked very threatening with small dead animals strapped around her gun belt which held a pistol in one gun pocket and a hunting knife in the other. She also had a bow in arms and a quiver of bows thrown over her shoulder which looked bloody with animal or walker blood, I couldn't tell. She wore a black leather jacket and I couldn't tell what shirt she was wearing, she wore black combat boots, and I couldn't stop staring at her lower back area.
"You guys just get back into town before I put a fucking arrow up your ass," Her voice snapped me out of looking at her and watched as the two guys ran off back to where they came from like scared puppies.
In the distance, I heard walker moan from the gunshot.
"Shit, I'd like to introduce myself and all, but sadly these walkers want to introduce themselves first," Everyone chuckled at her poor joke as she pulled out her bow and arrows and aimed in the direction of where the moans were from and waited for the first walker to appear.
"Please don't use your guns, they might attract more," She looked at Rick who held his gun in the same direction but he nodded and placed his gun into his holder.
"Sword girl and crossbow boy, mind helping me?" She looked at me and I held back my gasp from her gorgeous piercing blue eyes which peered into my green ones.
"Sure," Michonne walked over to the moans and unsheathed her katana.
"Erm, yeah," I pulled out my crossbow and loaded it as the girl walked forward and let her arrow fly as the first walker came into view.
Soon ten more popped out and in less than two minutes, all were taken care off with heads separated from bodies and arrows lodged in eyeballs.
"Not bad," She nodded as she began to pull her arrows out and I followed her in process. Carol coughed to capture the girl's attention and I watched as the girl cleaned her arrows on her dark blue jeans and then looked at Carol as she placed her final arrow into her quiver.
"Hi, I'm Carol and did you say that you had a safe haven?" Carol asked and the girl nodded.
"Yeah, apologies about those assholes who aimed at you guys, they're new here but I'm still not done with them," The girl sighed as she looked at our group.
"Do you mind if we saw your safe haven? We have a baby with us," Rick explained as he pointed at Tyreese who was holding the sleeping baby in his large arms.
"What a cutie," I saw the girl's face soften as she looked at the baby.
"Yeah but can you help us?" Bob asked and she nodded.
"Of course, it's what we do," The girl replied and everyone grinned.
"But we have one condition, you have to pull your own weight here, we have different jobs for everyone and to get in, you have to work," She told us.
"We're okay with that," Rick nodded.
"Great, the wall's not far from here so if you guys will just follow me," She smiled as she led the group the same direction those men went and like before, I stared at her lower section.
"Stop burning a hole in my ass, crossbow boy," I heard her tease and I looked away, embarrassed.
"Yes mam," I mumbled as the group chuckled.
"Call me Emily," She looked back at me and smiled as we continued down the road.
