Chapter 10
Hearing a gunshot everyone stopped and looked back for a second.
"Think we should head back?"
"Naw, Rick and Shane can take care of themselves, we need to keep moving."
Nodding everyone started walking again, until Lori stopped and looked back.
"Still worried about it?"
"That was a gunshot."
"We all heard it."
"Just one. Why only one shot?"
"Maybe they took down a walker."
"Please don't patronize me, Rick wouldn't risk a gunshot for one walker, neither would Shane."
I sighed walking closer to Lori.
"Hey, I'm sure they're fine."
"Surely they would've caught up to us by now."
"There's nothin we can do anyway in these woods."
"So what do we do?"
"Same as we've been, beat the bushes for Sophia, make our way to the highway."
"I'm sure they'll catch up to us back at the RV."
Taking a few steps towards Daryl I realized Andrea was talking to Carol. Rolling my eyes, I lightly nudged Daryl with my elbow as I continued walking, slowly getting motion back in my leg.
"I'll tell ya what it's worth, nothin. All this hopin and prayin. We are gonna find that little girl."
I smiled at him as he passed me, lightly grabbing his hand.
"You're right, we'll find her."
He nodded as we stepped away from each other, keeping our eyes open for Sophia.
Looking up I realized the sun was starting to set and we needed to head back
"We'll lose the light before to long."
"Let's head back, pick it up tomorrow, and we'll find her tomorrow."
With a nod Daryl whistled and we turned around to head back to the highway.
Lifting my injured leg up to walk over the knee high grass, wincing a little.
"How much further?"
"Not much maybe hundred yards or so, as the crow flys."
"He's gotta be kiddin."
Receiving a heated look from our leader, I rolled my eyes. Grabbing onto Glen as we stepped over a fallen branch; hearing a scream we looked around to see Andrea was getting attacked by a walker. Cursing the entire group took off running. Right before we could reach her some woman raced by on a beautiful bay horse; knocking the walker off its feet with a bat. Coming to a stop the brunette started calling for Lori.
"I'm Lori."
"There's been an accident you gotta come now, Carl's been shot. He's still alive but you gotta come now. Rick needs you just come"
Quickly Lori took off her backpack handing it to me as Daryl voiced his concern.
"Whoa whoa whoa, we don't know this girl, you can't get on that horse."
"Rick said you had more people up on the highway, in that traffic storm, head back to fairnew road, you'll see the mailbox, names green."
And like that the girl took off with Lori.
"What the hell was that?"
Suddenly the walker started groaning and sitting up, walking past me Daryl shot it in the head telling it to shut up.
"Andrea? You ok?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine."
Smiling I offered her a hand up, pulling her to her feet we started our way back to the highway.
Leaning heavily on Daryl as we climbed up the bank, finally we reached the pavement.
"Carl's been shot."
I glared at Glen as he explained why Lori wasn't with us.
"Shot, what do you mean shot?"
With a hard look Dale turned to Daryl who wasn't in the best of moods.
"And you let her?"
"Ease out of my ass old man; she knew Lori's name and Carl's."
Everyone stood in a small circle next to the RV.
"We need to leave, find out where Carl is."
Carol gave me a heated look.
"I won't do it, we can't just leave."
"Carol, the group is split, we're shattered and weak."
"What if she comes back and we're not here? It could happen."
"If Sophia found her way back while we were gone, that would be awful."
"Ok, we got a plan for this, I say tomorrow morning is early enough to pull up stakes, give us time to make up a big sign, leave her some supplies. I'll do it tonight, stay with the RV."
"If the RV's stayin I am too."
"Same here."
I smiled at Carol as she thanked us; Andrea looked at us kind of defeated.
"I'm in."
"Well, if you're all stayin."
"No Glenn, you gotta go, take Carol's Cherokee."
"Wait, me? Why is it always me?"
"You have to find this farm, reconnect with our people, and most importantly, you have to get T Dog there. This is not an option, that cut has gone from bad to worse, he has a serious blood infection."
Seeing Daryl move, I turned and watched him walk over to Merle's bike, pulling a rag off the top. Looking at Dale in disbelief for a second, before pulling out a bag full of prescription drugs.
"What?"
He smirked at me, before throwing the rags at Dale.
"If you'd keep our oily rags off my brother's motorcycle, why'd you wait till now to say anything?"
Walking up behind him as he went threw the bag on the hood of a car, picking up a bottle I realized it was what T Dog needed to keep him stable until they reached the farm, walking over I made him take two of the white pills, smiling gently at him.
"You're gonna be ok."
"Thank you Cobra."
I nodded before walking back over to the group, leaning against a car next to the bike as Daryl placed the bag back where it belonged.
"You should go to."
"No."
He looked up at me for a second.
"I'll survive one more day, when we get to this farm, if my leg and side are still bothering me, I'll talk to whoever is working on Carl and T Dog. Ok?"
Sighing he walked around the bike, placing both hands on either side of me.
"Fine."
With a chuckle, I leaned up, lightly kissing him. Pulling back I could tell he was upset.
"We'll find Sophia."
He nodded, leaning back I forced myself to walk over and help T Dog get settled into the Cherokee.
Watching Glenn drive off, feeling a sharp pain in my side, I grabbed at it lightly. Wincing as Dale walked over to me.
"Are you alright?"
"I don't think so."
"Let's look at your side."
Nodding I followed Dale into the RV, spotting Daryl talking to Carol as he was making a sign for Sophia.
Entering the RV, I took a seat on the table, turning so Dale could look at my left side; slowly I raised my shirt revealing a huge black and blue bruise.
"How did that happen?"
"I guess when I tripped over the guard rail."
He shook his head, lightly touching the bruised skin, causing me to hiss.
Hearing the door open, we looked up to see Daryl poking his head in, concern written all over his face.
Walking closer, he gave me a curious look.
"Can we have a minute Dale?"
"Yeah, of coarse."
Walking out of the RV, he shut the door to give us some privacy; Daryl ran a rough finger over my side, causing me to hiss and squirm away from him.
He sighed, pushing a little too hard on the center of the bruise, causing me to cry out in pain. Quickly he pulled his hand away. Lying back on the table I let a few tears leak out.
"Sorry."
I nodded, slowly sitting up.
"Where else does it hurt?"
"My leg."
With a simple nod he picked me up bridal style, caring me out of the RV. Curling closer to him, wrapping my arms around his neck; taking me over to the truck bed we had slept in the night before. Laying me down on a blanket, falling back on my back; waiting to see what the redneck was going to do.
Looking down I smiled as he unbuttoned my jeans, never breaking eye contact. Pulling my jeans off, he lowered his gaze to the bruise that covered my left thigh. Running a hand over the tender muscle, I winced. Trying not to move too much, gently he kissed the purple bruise. Pulling back he crawled on top of me, being careful of how much of his weight he pressed on me. Looking up at him curiously, he smiled at me.
"You will see who ever is working on Carl tomorrow."
"I know."
Kissing him on the lips, he smiled, rolling to his side, pulling me with him, I realized just how exhausted I was.
Sending a silent prayer for Sophia to be found alive and safe, I fell asleep. Dreading the trip tomorrow to find this farm.
OK, I know that was a little boring.
But, so was the episode.
Next chapter will be better promise.
