"You have a baby?" Mika asked, looking shocked, as they brought out Judith in her carseat. She gurgled happily, smiling at the sunlight. All the girls crowded around, except from Jamie, who was a fifteen yard away, working a squirrel hide.
Rick nodded. "Her name is Judith- she likes to be outside. Keep her in the carseat, though."
Lizzy nodded, and Rick set down the car seat, confident all the kids would keep good watch over her. Besides, they were behind the fences, nothing bad would happen.
Still, Judith fell asleep in the sunshine, and the kids soon got bored and headed towards the fence to watch the walkers go by.
Jamie kept an eye on her, looking up occasionally from where she sat. She was alone today, Daryl had gone off on a scavenging mission with Michonne and Glenn.
Everyone looked up when they heard it. The all-too-familiar buzzing of a rattle snake. Jamie instinctively looked over to see it by Judith and swore quietly, going for her bow. The people from Woodbury looked on terrified, and Judith's eyelids fluttered. If she woke up and started to cry...
Jamie knotched an arrow and stood carefully, finding the bastard snake in her sights. Wordlessly, she let the arrow fly. It struck the snake's head, going through the other side, and the snake fell, writhing on the ground for a moment, before it laid still, dead.
Judith gurgled happily, awake, and Jamie walked over, examining the kill. She pulled out her knife and sliced the tail off the rattler, placing in in Judith's chubby fingers and smiling slightly as the baby shook it, laughing at the sound it made.
"You could've shot her!" Lizzy yelled, looking over at Jamie, horrified.
Jamie looked over at her calmly, shouldering her bow. "I don't miss." was all she said, before turning, heading off to ditch the carcass in the woods. It still had venom in the fangs, she didn't want it anywhere near the people here.
Carl looked at her, surprised and grateful. "I- thanks." he said awkwardly.
"No problem." she said, looking equally as awkward. She brushed a stray lock of hair from her face before ducking outside and disappearing into the woods. They still weren't speaking.
It was two days later when it happened. A passing herd came by, they were kept out by the fences, though. Until they heard Lizzy's father screaming. "Mika!"
Jamie threw a glance out to see Mika outside the fence, walkers coming in from both sides, frozen with fear.
"Open the gate!" Jamie yelled. Patrick obeyed, and she was sprinting out, bow in hand, ready for a fight.
She sent an arrow through a walker that'd been coming up behind Mika, looking at the terrified girl. "Mika! Come on, kid!"
Mika made no move to come towards the gate. Her life was literally flashing before her eyes, now, and Jamie swore, sprinting out, knotching an arrow as she went.
"Mika! Go!" she yelled. She shoved the girl towards he open gate, Patrick was frantically calling her. Finally, Mika started to stumble towards the gate. Jamie covered her, arrows flying into all the walkers that were coming. But that left her standing there, walkers on all sides...
Carl stared as Carol pulled the gate shut, locking it.
"She'll make it." Carol said simply, looking at Jamie. But she was running low on arrows, fighting hard...
"Jamie!" Rick ran to the fence, and Carl found his heart pounding in his chest, Jamie, HIS best friend and possibly girl friend, was trapped outside the fence...
He ran into the cell he and his father had been staying in, pulling out the case from under the bed. He opened the case, pulling out his gun and loading it, turning and running towards the hole in the fence. The gate was shut, but it'd be a cold day in hell when he left Jamie for dead.
"Jamie!" Daryl was heading for the gate, but Rick grabbed him, holding him back. "You can't go out there! It's suicide!"
There was a thud as another walker fell, another arrow came, but at least twenty walkers were still coming. He pulled the wire binding the fence together out, slipping out and racing towards her, gun raised.
There was the metallic sound as the silenced gun shot, like a clink, and a walker that'd been feet from her fell at her feet. She turned and looked over ay him, and he fought his way through the herd until they were standing, back to back, facing death on every side.
They were still emerging from the woods, still coming.
"There's too many." Jamie panted.
Carl nodded, sending another few rounds through a walker's head.
"What do we do?"
"Break for the woods on three. One..." There was the hiss of an arrow leaving her bow, the squish of it catching a walker between the eyes.
"Two..." a walker hissed at the pair, staggering forward, hands up and ready to scratch. A bullet through it's brain stopped it in it's tracks.
"THREE!"
They both broke off, sprinting for the woods. They split up momentarily, to cause more of a distraction. She could hear Rick and Daryl yelling behind them, but she shook off the words, coming up to a walker that'd been trying to cut her off, knife sliding between his eyes.
"Carl!"
"Jamie!"
She turned to find walkers were stumbling across the bridge that led over the drainage ditch and swore, moving as fast as she could through the water. She turned to see Carl had fallen, there was a walker right behind him...
Carl fumbled for his gun. He'd dropped it in the water somewhere. He found it, but it was useless wet, and he turned to see the walker about to fall onto him...
There was the hiss of an arrow cutting through the air, and a moment later the walker fell into the water beside him. Jamie dragged him to his feet and they both staggered out of the water, closer to the woods than before, walkers still stumbling after them.
"Let's go."
And they both stumbled into the trees.
