CHAPTER FIVE
"Hey you move shit head. Come on, get I said." Shane yells as he pulls the man that just shot Carl along to move faster. "How far? How far?" Rick screams as he readjusts a bleeding and passed out Carl in his arms.
"Another half mile that way. Hershel... talk to Hershel, he'll help your boy." The man huffs out, out of breath and Rick turns and starts running, trying not to drop Carl but his legs, arms and chest all hurt but he needs to get to Hershel.
Rick sighs in relief when he sees the farmhouse up ahead. As he gets closer to the house he sees several people come out of the house and an older man walks down the front steps towards him.
"Was he bit?" The man asks him and he just shakes his head panting out of breath. "Shot, by your man." Rick said getting desperate as he looks up at the man and then down to Carl, who feels heaver in his arms.
"He said to find Hershel. Is that you? Help me! Help my boy!" Rick cries out hysterically. And the man gestures to the house. "Get him inside."

Eva places a cool wet rag on the poor girls' forehead before moving to take she shoes off get her more comfortable. She shakes her head as she pulls off her socks, seeing the blood and blisters. She probably has been running for a while now and she gets to cleaning the girls' feet.
Eva then walks over to the desk in her new room and she shows Charlie on the map where she found her and he marks it down before going and getting some food and water for her and the girl. She moves away from the desk when she hears Sophia groaning and sobbing as she wakes up.
"Hey it's ok, you remember me right?" Eva whispers while sitting down next to her. "Mama, I want my mama." She cries while rolling over closer to Eva. "Oh sweetheart, I want nothing more than to get you back to your mom. You have to calm down and talk to me so I can try and find her ok." She tells her while rubbing her back in circles, she nods but continues to sob.
Charlie comes in bringing some Top Raman and some water for them. He sets the bowls and water bottles down on the night stand before patting Eva's shoulder before leaving the room.
After about an hour and after they ate, Sophia has calmed down enough to answer Eva's questions. "Ok first of all, I need you to tell me how you got lost ok." She asks softly and Sophia tells her about the highway, Mr. Grimes, how after she ran up a small hill she had to run with the sun on her right shoulder, not her left like Mr. Grimes said too because walkers were chasing her, how she dropped her doll as she ran across a small bridge, all the way until Eva saved her.
Eva smiles and tells her what a good job she did as she writes everything she said down, it will narrows down the search radius for Sophia's group. "Do you remember any street signs or someone saying the upcoming towns' name?" Eva asks her and Sophia closes her eyes and tries concentrating.
"Um the welcome sign said Summerland there was a street sign we passed by before getting stuck on the... the highway. Umm farbur... fanburn... something like that, is that good?" She asks looking up at Eva and she nods her head. "That's very good it narrows it down so I can find your mom and get you back to her." Eva tells her after writing down the possibilities of the street name.
"It might take a awhile to find her but I promise that I will do everything I can to make sure you get back to her and your group ok." Eva says and Sophia nods her head and tears start to well up in her eyes.
"How about I go draw you a bath and we get you in some clean clothes before going back to sleep, how's that sound?" Eva asks and Sophia nods her head and smiles up her which she returns before getting up and they make their way to the bathroom.

"Andrea!" Lori yells when they all hear screaming and they take off to where they can hear her screaming for help. As they get closer Daryl sees Andrea on her back trying to crawl away but the walker is grabbing and holding her legs.
All off a sudden he sees a woman on a horse come riding up and smacks the walker and he goes flying back. "Lori? Lori Grimes?" The woman asks as they run up to her and Andrea.
"I'm Lori." She said out of breath and Daryl looks over at Andrea before looking over at the walker making sure it stays down. "Rick sent me. You've got to come now. There's been an accident. Carl's been shot." The girl said hurriedly while trying to keep the horse still.
Daryl looks at her in shock, first Sophia and now this. "He's still alive but you have to come now. Rick needs you, just come." The girl said and Lori starts taking off her bag back and Daryl looks at her. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, we don't know this girl. You can't get on that horse." He said but she just ignores him and the girl helps her onto the horse behind her.
"Rick said you had others on the highway that big traffic snarl?" She asks looking from him to Glenn, and Glenn says ya. "Backtrack to Fairburn road. Two miles down is our farm. You'll see the mailbox. The names Greene." She said to them before turning the horse and off they went.
He looks after the horse still shocked about what happened. He hears the walker wheezing and as he sits up he lifts his cross bow taking aim. "Shut up."

After getting Sophia a bath and back into bed, Eva slowly makes her way to the living room. She smile when she sees that Abigail and Mel are re-packing all the boxes of food and other supplies making things neater and so they will know which box has what in them.
Eva lifts up the baby off of the couch and she sits in his place and she hums to him when he starts to cry from being moved.
She can't believe how small he is, he can't be more than two months old. So that means that his mother gave birth to him after all the corpses started coming back and killing everyone.
She had asked the boy earlier if he knows the name of the baby but he shook his head no. So not only did their mother leave them to die, she didn't even give the baby a name. Eva has asked the others to help her think of a name for the baby, he needs a good strong name.
When she sees the boy yawning she stands up and holds a hand out to him and he stands up from where he was playing with some of his toys and grabs her hand. She walks up the steps slowly, as she helps the boy up one step at a time and they make their way to their room.
She lets go of the boys hand and she walks over to the crib and places the now sleeping baby inside. She turns and goes to the desk and grabs some PJ's from one of the bags and walks over to the boy.
After helping him change, she picks him up and walks over to bed and she gently lays the boy down in the middle of the bed and hands him his stuffed tiger. She covers him up before walking over to the tall dresser.
She unclips her machete and the gun belt and she sets it on top of the dresser. She then walks back to the bed and sits down on her side of the bed, that is closest to the door and she slowly starts to untie her shoes and she sets them to the side out of the way.
She grabs her folded up pocket knife out of her pocket and she lies on her back but lays her arm over the boy and Sophia. Eva then turns her head and looks towards the door and she clenches her hand that is lying on her stomach, feeling the familiar weight of her knife as it digs into her hand, before closing her eyes.
