The next morning the group was up and about, Dante and Tyreese was checking their ammo and the weapons of the group while Rozalyn was going over the medical supplies for the group and Maria and Crystal was going over the groups food.
Tyreese sighs as he walks over to Rozalyn. "So Rozalyn… Are you Hispanic? Your name sounds Spanish and you have tan skin."
Rozalyn looks up at Tyreese with her head tilted and a smile on her face, "I'm Caucasian, and part Cherokee."
"Oh… That makes sense." Tyreese said with a chuckle as he rubbed his shoulder.
Dante walked over to Crystal and Maria. "So how much food do we have?"
"Enough for about three days." Crystal said with a sigh as she looked up at Dante.
"We need to gather more supplies Dante." Maria said as she looked up at him as well.
"Yeah… I'll talk to Tyreese and we will figure something out." Dante said with a sigh and a smile as she looked down at them. He then walked over to Rozalyn and Tyreese who were still talking.
"Are we good on medical supplies?" Dante asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well Tyreese told me that you got shot and used up the supplies so…. No we don't have that much left." Rozalyn said with a sigh as she looked through the almost empty bag.
Dante groaned and face palmed. "Damn… We're almost out of supplies for both food and medical."
"Well it's about time we start doing supply runs." Tyreese said as he looked at Dante and patted his back.
"Yeah… But let's organize this so we always have one of us protecting the camp from walkers…. Or survivors." Dante said as he looked at Tyreese and frowned.
"Yeah…. Crystal can take care of herself with her bow but." Tyreese sighed as he looked at Rozalyn and Maria. "Rozalyn and Maria need some training."
"I heard that." Rozalyn said as she rolled her eyes and kept going through the bag.
Tyreese chuckled. "Sorry."
"Yeah but…. If we fire off guns then walkers will come…. Unless we train them away from the camp but we will always need to have a certain amount of us to protect the camp." Dante said with a sigh as he rubbed his neck.
"Maybe we can train one of them each day." Tyreese suggested with a smile.
"That can work." Dante said with a smile.
A woman in her mid twenties with long red hair and pale skin with light blue eyes and piercing on her lower lip ran through the forest screaming.
Dante and Tyreese heard the screams and ran to their guns and pointed in the direction of the screaming.
"Someone please help me!" The woman said as she ran towards the camp.
Dante and Tyreese pointed their guns at her.
The woman stop in front of them with her hands in the air. "Please don't shoot me… They're behind me."
Dante noticed the bruises and cuts on her with the dry tears on her face. "Who are?" He asked as he looked behind her.
"A group of Cannibals." The woman said as she looked behind her to see a group of five men up the hill with Bow and Arrows, the group shot off their arrows.
Dante eyes widen as he looked back to the girls. "Hide behind something solid!" He shouted to catch their attention.
The girls nod and ran, Maria screamed as a arrow hit Tyreese arm and leg. Tyreese fell down and screamed in pain, Dante cursed and started shooting at the group of men up the hill with his machine gun. One man got shot and fell down the hill while the others ran away from the bullets.
Rozalyn ran over to the down Tyreese and looked up at Dante. "Get me the bag of supplies."
Dante nods and ran over to the medical supplies bag while Crystal and Maria ran over to Tyreese.
Crystal glared at the woman and growled. "You brought them to us… You did this!" She shouted at the woman.
The woman frowns and looks down while she started crying. "I'm so sorry… I had to escape… I need help to get my sister from them."
Crystal continued to glare but frowned and looked down at Tyreese. Dante comes back with the medical supplies and lays them down next to Tyreese. Rozalyn starts getting to work on Tyreese by slowly taking the arrows out of him and applying pressure and alcohol on it.
Rozalyn looked up at Dante, frowning as she did. "Somebody needs to head into the city...we don't have the sufficient supplies to keep infection away."
Crystal rose her hand and smiled. "I can head in the city… I can be quiet and quick… You've seen me with my bow."
"No need to persuade me… I know your good for the job… Just be careful and quick." Dante said with a smile. He then looked at the woman. "What's your name?"
The woman was wearing a tank top which revealed her back tattoos and tattoos on the upper part of her right arm, she ran her fingers through her hair and forced a smile. "Barbara Miller."
Dante introduced her to the rest of the group and then smiled. "I'll help you get your sister."
"Thank you so much." Barbara said as she ran to Dante and gave him a tight hug.
Dante eyes widen and slowly hugged back, he pulled away from the hug and looked at the group. "Ok… Rozalyn take care of Tyreese. Maria you watch over the group and Crystal goes into the city to get more supplies…. I will help Barbara get her sister back." Dante said with a smile.
Maria ran up to Dante and gave him a hug and a kiss while Barbara hid the disgust look on her face while looking at the two. "Be careful…. Both of you." Maria said to Dante and Crystal as she looked at the two.
Dante and Crystal nodded. Dante kneeled down next to Tyreese and held his hand. "You will make it through this." He said with a smile.
Tyreese slowly noded and smiled. "Don't worry about me Bro." He looked at his severely bleeding arm and leg with a frown.
Dante nods and stood up, he looked at Barbara and sighed as he picked up his guns and tomahawk. "Lead the way."
Barbara nods and walks away from the group heading in the direction from which she came from, Dante followed and looked back at the group with a smile, he then started walking besides Barbara following her to where her sister is being held.
Crystal sighs and picks up her bow. "I'll be back as quick as I can." She said with a smile as she walked over to Tyreese. "Don't give up."
Rozalyn frowned. "Please hurry… we want to prevent infection and any more blood from being lost."
Crystal nods and starts running into the city.
Rozalyn sighs and frowns again. "I hope she is fast enough."
"She should be… She was on her high school track team." Maria said with a reassuring smile as she looked at Rozalyn and Tyreese. Rozalyn nods and continues working on Tyreese doing the best she can for him.
Crystal ran through the forest shooting at walkers with her bow and arrow, after killing a walker she would take the arrow out of them to reuse. After a few minutes of running through the forest Crystal stopped running and started walking, she walked slowly being very cautious of her surroundings. Crystal scanned each area she went through in the forest for walkers or survivors. A few more minutes later she finally made it into the city but was shocked when she saw it full of more walkers than the day before, she thought it had to be the huge group of walkers that passed by the group yesterday.
Crystal frowned as she hid behind a car trying to figure out how she was going to get around all of these walkers to get to the pharmacy a couple of blocks ahead of the walkers. Crystal looked through some alleyways to see if she can go through them unharmed, she frowned again when she saw the alleyways infested with walkers. Crystal sighed and sat down on the ground covering her face with her hands trying to figure out how she is going to get past the walkers.
"Hey… Up here." A Asian man said from above her in the alleyway on a fire escape.
Crystal raised a eyebrow and looked up at the man as he put the ladder down for her to use. Crystal then ran to the ladder and threw her Bow up so she can climb the ladder. After climbing up the ladder she stood up and grabbed her bow and pointed it at the man.
"Woah! I'm just trying to help." The man said as his eyes widen and he put his hands in the air.
"Who are you? Why are you helping me?" Crystal asked as she still had the bow pointed at the man and a arrow in hand ready to fire.
"My name is Glenn…. And you seemed troubled." Glenn said with a frown as he looked at Crystal.
Crystal sighed and put her bow down. "How can you help me?"
Glenn shrugged and smiled. "I know the city like the back of my hand."
Dante and Barbara continued walking through the forest.
"This camp is pretty far away from mine." Dante said with a sigh as he kept walking and scanning the area for any ambushes or walkers.
"Yeah…. As soon as the sun came up I ran." Barbara said as she folded her arms and kept walking.
"How long did they have you two captive?" Dante asked with a raised eyebrow.
"A couple of days now." Barbara said with a frown.
"I'm sorry for asking…. Everything is going to be ok." Dante said as he gave her a reassuring smile and put a hand on her shoulder.
Barbara smiled. "You're too nice."
"Yeah I know" Dante said with a chuckle as he looked at her.
Barbara looked into his eyes and smiled. "So you and Maria….. Is it serious?"
Dante cleared his throated and rubbed his neck. "Yeah."
"Such a shame." Barbara said with a smile as she winked at him.
Dante blushed a little and chuckled. "So how old is your sister?"
"Seven." Barbara said with a frown.
"Oh…. I'm sure we will find her." Dante said with a smile.
"Yeah." Barbara said with a smile, she continued walking and pointed ahead of them. "We're almost there."
"Good." Dante said as he kept walking.
A few minutes later they make it to the base of the group of cannibals.
"You said it was a camp." Dante said as he looked around.
"Yeah but I was running… I wasn't paying much attention to the scenery." Barbara said with a sigh.
"Place is a ghost town… Where is everyone?" Dante asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Out searching for me I guess." Barbara said as she looked around trying to remember where she was being held.
"This seems like a trap." Dante said as he continued looking around.
"Then we need to hurry." Barbara said as she started running and walking into small buildings to find her sister.
Dante followed. "This place looks like a camp for kids."
"I think it was." Barbara said she was then cut off by the screaming of a little girl. Barbara went running to the where the scream originated from.
Dante ran after her. "Wait… Let me go in first… It might be a trap."
Barbara nods and stops running as Dante entered the small cottage. Dante entered with his machine gun quickly searching the area for any of the cannibals.
"Help me." A little girl voice said in a room ahead of Dante.
Dante slowly walked to the room and opened the door slowly, he entered the room and saw a little girl on a chair chained up to it looking out a window. Dante slowly approached the girl, Dante slowly turned the chair around to see a doll, Dante raised a eyebrow and fell to the ground hard due to a hit behind the head with a baseball bat.
Barbara smirks and chuckles as she looked down at Dante unconscious body.
"Good work little sister." John Ross said with a grin. John Ross had jelled up brown hair and blue eyes standing at 6'2 and a athletic build in his late thirties, he was wearing a graylong sleeve dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a black vest over it with black slacks.
Barbara giggled and looked at John Ross. "He is so cute… Can I keep him?"
"Sure." John Ross said with a chuckle.
Barbara smirked and kissed John Ross passionately.
