We walk for quite some time, I try to focus on my tracking rather than the chatter going on behind me, I hear leaves crunching and we all crouch to the ground, I point at Rick and point to my left side, he nods and walks over, he straightens up and I take that as my signal and stand up.
Its a deer! I line up my bow to shoot it but Rick lowers it with his hand, I look at him confused, he smirks and nods, I look and see Carl with his hand extended in front of him with this unbelievably huge smile on his face, I smile, "Psssttt. Carl?" I whisper, he stops and looks at me, I slowly approach him, "Keep your hand low and walk from heel to toe" I whisper he smiles and we slowly walk forward, I stop a little more than half way though and let him do it on his own.
It all happened so fast, one second I'm smiling and thinking everything is going to be fine, next the deer fell to the ground, then Carl and I feel this tremendous pain in my leg, I try to step on it and collapse, "Carl!!!" I hear Rick and Shane scream in unison. I crawl over to him as fast as I can using my other leg, "Hey bud, stay with me, look at me, breathe, in.....out....in....,out" I say and rip the bottom of my shirt loose, then I quickly wrap it around his upper stomach, I rip another piece loose and put it as a pad, I push down and tie the bandage before Rick scoops Carl up in his arms, "I-I- didn't see him, I just saw the deer, I didn't see him until I came up" this rather chubby guy stutters, I turn my attention to my leg and wrap it up.
Dammnit, it wasn't a flesh wound and it stayed inside my leg. "Hershel, we'll take your boy to Hershel, he'll fix him up" the guy says, "You know Hershel?!?" Rick asks, "Rick, god dammnit, Carl is dying, quit worrying about who he knows who and get your ass to Hershel's, go North about a mile and take a right, keep running until you come to a field, then you'll see a big white house, keep running, tell Hershel this guy-" "Otis" the guy interrupts, "Otis shot Carl. Go, now!" I growl, "Shane, I never thought I'd ask this but I think I'm going to need your help walking" I say, he smirks, "You know what, fuck it, I'll do it myself" I spit and get up, he grabs my arm and tries to help me up, "I'll do it myself" I growl, "Let's go!" I say and start to limp away.

"Are you still worrying about that?" Andrea asks Lori. "Yeah, it was 2 gunshots, not 1, something went wrong" Lori says, I couldn't help but think something went down, but I had an order and I had to keep these people safe. "You Ok?" Andrea asks Carol, "I'm just hoping and praying she doesnt wind up like Amy" she says and pauses, "Oh my god, thats the worst thing I've ever said" she adds. Andrea looks hurt but says "Were all hoping and praying with you" These people!! "This hopin' and prayin' is a load of bullshit. Were gonna find Sophia and she's going to be just fine" I say angrily.

When we show up I limp up the porch and into the house, "Hershel?!" I shout, "In here" he yells back, "Patricia I need an I.V" Hershel shouts, "Rick, what blood type is he?" Hershel asks, "AB-" Rick stammers, "What is your blood type?" Hershel asks, "O positive" Rick states, I stumble in, "I'm AB-" I say, Hershel looks at me and his jaw drops, "Jade?" I hear an all too familiar voice say, I spin around, "Maggie!" I exclaim and embrace her in a hug.
"Jade. You're in no position to have blood taken from you, your gonna need it to heal yourself" Hershel says, "Jade, I couldn't ask you to do something like this, you've done enough" Rick adds, "Your not asking for anything, I'm offering it, and this is an offer I won't let you deny, Hershel just do it!" I say the adrenaline is now getting the best of me, "No" Rick says, "Rick, we already lost Sophia, that's on my hands, I'm not going to sit here and let him die knowing I could do something about it! Just take it dammit! I'll be fine" I say exhausted, I hate fighting.
"Ok, Jade I need you to sit still, Patricia you do this I'm gonna check the boy" Hershel says walking over to Carl, "She doesn't know. Lori doesn't know" I hear Rick sob, "You don't worry about it, I got it, you stay here and stay with Carl" Shane says, I look over to Maggie who is on my left and she nods, I smile, "Don't tell anyone I've be shot, please" I manage to choke out, she nods once more before walking away.

We've been walking in silence for a while now, nobody daring to say anything. Suddenly there is this ear splitting scream. Andrea! We all take of running toward her when this girl on a horse obliterates the walkers face with a bat, "Lori, where's Lori?" She asks, Lori steps up, "What?" Lori asks, "Rick sent me. You need to come with me, there's been an accident, Carl's been shot" she says. Lori steps up, "Wait, you can't just go with er', we don't even know who she is!" I demand, "Look there is no time to argue, get back to the highway, take the back roads about a mile back till you find a big farm, the mailbox says Greene" the girl on the horse says and with that they're off.
We get back to the highway, "Andrea, are you alright?" Dale asks, she storms off into the RV, "What happened back there?" Dale asks, "She was attacked by a Walker" I say, "Where's Lori?" Dale asks, "This girl just came riding in like Zoro on a horse and took her" Glenn exclaims, "And you just let her leave?" Dale asks, "What was I supposed to do? She knew Lori, Rick and Carl's name" I say irritated, "Why did she go?" Dale asks, "There's a farm house about a mile back, we're supposed to meet them there" Glenn says, "We can't just leave. What if she comes back?" Carol says, "Well somebody has to go and see what's going on" I press on, "Well leave tomorrow, that'll give us time to make a big sign and leave some supplies" Glenn says, "No, you'll be going, take Carol's Cherokee" Dale says.
"Why to I have to go?" He asks, "Because your a good navigator, and your taking T-Dog with you. He's gonna die without proper medication" he says and I walk over to my bike and grab Merle's stash, I put it on he hood of the nearest car, "Why didn't you just say so? This is Merle's stash, here some kick ass antibiotics, some perks for pain" I toss Dale the bottles, he gives T-Dog a few and Glenn pulls the car up, and Glenn and T-Dog leave.
{Jade's P.O.V.}
Its starting to get really hot and I'm sweating, "Hershel, can I have another glass of juice?" I ask, "Yes, but let me get this bullet out of your leg first" he says, I grit my teeth and nod, "You're not going to do this willingly, your body won't allow tjag, so I'm going to need Rick and Shane to hold you down, Ok?" He asks, I nod once more, "Rick! Shane!" Hershel screams, they both come in, "I have to take this bullet out, its going to get infected if not, and I need you two to hold her still" Hershel says, Rick takes my shoulders and Shane grabs my feet, I close my eyes but when I open them back up I see my worst enemy, a needle...
