Venus With The Bow [Daryl Dixon f.f]

19/Stranger

Kendall

The sun has risen up,but me and Andrea are still running just to survive.the more we run the more gets the pain in my rib cage and in my forearm.

"You're bleeding."Andrea says among her heavy breathes.

"It hurts like a bitch."i say and take a quick look at my forearm.

"You didn't clean ur wound."Daryl's voice echoes through my brain and it makes me wanna die.is he alive?what about the others?have they found each other?

I push all these thoughts away and focus on my beating heart.i'm still alive,but i don't know for how long..

"Ugh!"Andrea screams in pain.she's fell on the ground with a twisted ankle.

I grab her hand and i help her to get up with my hand around her waist and her hand around my neck.i carry her,but she makes us slow down. "Come on,I got ya."i say and she looks back.

"We've ran all night."she says and i just look at..nowhere.

"We can't die.not today."i say.she feels so heavy like she's too much for me to carry,because all i feel now's weakness and i hate this shit.

Running more's enough for her to fall on the ground again causing me to fall next to her.two walkers come faster and i cover Andrea behind me,but before i can do anything their heads are cut off.

I look at our savior with my chest moving up and down crazily.she's wearing a cloak and carrying two pet walkers.what the hell?

Me and Andrea exchange looks with questions,but no one's got the answer.we just keep on starring at the woman.me,i stare at those walkers.no arms,broken jaws..

"There's more of them coming."the woman warns.i look at her eyes.emotionless.i can't sit here and think weather trusting her's the best choice or not.no trust issues for today,Ken!

I get up and help Andrea to walk with me and the woman.we both glance at her walkers with terror and questions,but now i got better things to focus on.

Like staying alive,my bleeding wound,my ribcage and..my family.i've lost them again in this messed up world.like i had to try the taste of having family by my side,but the faith was loosing them for good.

"Where are we going?"Andrea asks eventually.

"Somewhere safe."she responds coldly.the thing that she saved us is enough.

We walk and we walk so that there's no sign of that herd chasing us in the woods.Well,i hoped to see a camp or a safe place like what we had but no,the truth was non of us had a place to go.

"We have to set up a camp for tonight."the woman says. "But we have to move on,the herd's close."

I place Andrea on a tree's trunk and she moans in pain of her ankle. "Do you think it's broken?"she asks.

I take a good look at her ankle and i ask her to make little movements.I see no signs of bruises or anything. "No."i response. "Just a twisted ankle,but if you push yourself you won't be able to walk for a month or so."

Andrea nods to me and then glances over the woman and the walkers she's carrying.Then,
She looks at me with confusion.

I turn to face the woman,our savior. "Thanks."i say and capture her attention.she looks at me or better to say,she analyzes me with her dark eyes and then,she nods to me.

"Are you alone?"i ask.

She nods again. "You?"

"Got separated from 'em by that herd coming."

"Are you bit?"she asks with a frown and looks at the blood stains showing up on my shirt.

"Shit."i curse. "I think i've got opened stitches."i smirk.if Hershel were here,he would've given me his famous look to blame me for being careless but then he's stitch me up with kindness. "I got any bandages or anything that could help me?i got shot days ago,it's just that.i'm not bit."i explain.

"I don't."she answers. "But you might find."

"Where are you going?"Andrea asks her.

The woman sighs. "East."

She ties her walkers to a tree tight and then trues to set up a fire while i try to take a good look at my wound and take care of Andrea.

"After everything we've been through,"Andrea speaks up. "You helped me."

"We've both been bitches."i say and we both chuckle. "But i wouldn't let you die."

She smiles softly. "Thanks,Kendall."she squeezes my hand and i nod to her. "I know i went too far about Lori and Shane."

"Forget about it,Andrea."i shrug the thought off my shoulder.Shane might be dead,they all might die..Shane wanted Randall dead just like i did.even though i stood with Dale and changed my idea,Shane never backed off.instead,he tried to kill my dad..i can't believe it still.

"Do you think they've made it?"she asks and looks deep in my eyes to see if i have any hopes,but i just steal my eyes from her.

"Yes."i say. "Yes,they've made it.all of them."i don't believe what i just said,i can't be sure.they might have lost each other and that'll make it hard for them to find each other again.

"Where will be your next stop?"Andrea asks the woman.

The fire's finally set up and the warmth of it wraps its arms around our cold and tired bodies with kindness and we fell like hey,that's all we needed!but the real fire we all need is a burning fire in our souls that gives us hope..!

The woman huffs. "I'm heading east."

"We have to go west."i say mostly to Andrea. "We have to go back to highway and at least try to find them."

"You can't find them on the west side."woman says. "The herd's going that way and with almost no ammo you've got no luck."her emotionless eyes show that she doesn't care,she only wants to warn.

I bite my lip.damn,what if they end up with that herd again?what if they die even though they might've survived from the farm?my body starts trembling and i tru to stop thinking.

"Do you know where to go?"Andrea asks her again and she shows that she's tired from our questions and she simply answers "no.".

"I'll be on watch,you should rest."i inform Andrea.

"Your wound might get infected,Kendall.don't push yourself."

"Hey,i'm fine and my wound is doing good,alright?"i say and try to smile.then i look at the woman. "U okay with that?"

She nods. "I'll be on watch with you."she says and i nod to her.

I keep my knives in both of my hands ready.i've got no arrow or bullet,all i can use for now's my knives.

I listen to the scary silent in the woods in case any corpses come across us.My thoughts run wild in my head again and i can't stop them.

"I'm Kendall."i tell the woman to break this damn silence or my thoughts will kill me.

She raises an eyebrow and then she remains silent.i huff and puff..she's not interested for sure.

Those walkers she carries keep on growling making me worried. "They might capture the walkers attention,why don't u just kill them?"

She looks at my worried eyes. "No,they don't."she says and i smirk.is she serious? "They cover our smell and the other corpses won't notice us.They'll keep us safe."

I raise an eyebrow. "That's smart."

For the rest of the night we remained silent and listened to nothing special.I let my thoughts ruin me from inside and i tried to find a plan to get my family back..

If they're lucky,they head east too and we've got a chance to end up with each other..let's just hope!
