"Andrea. Take your time, shoot the target" I say calmly, "Stop badgering me!" She demands, "Andrea, you have to be able to shoot under pressure, do you think a Walker is just gonna stand still and let you shoot it?" I ask, she aims and misses again, "Breathe, reload and try again" I say, "You act like its so easy, but its not" she exclaims, "I never said that, I know it's hard but you have to learn just like everyone else" I say, she stares at me, I pull my gun and use my periferal vision to locate my target before firing four shots right into the bullseye. She looks at me bewildered, "Now, it took me nearly fourteen years to master a gun, all while I took physical defense classes in between" I say.
I turn to look at Beth and catch Daryl's eyes, he just stares at me in pure amazement, I brush past him and pinch the bridge of my nose, I'm getting a headache. I get in my jeep and lay my head on the steering wheel with a frustrated sigh.
Suddenly the passenger side of my jeep sinks and I feel a had on my shoulder, I flinch, "Are you alright?" I look up to see Beth, "Yeah. I'm just really stressed" I say and rest my head back on the steering wheel, "That was incredible" she says, "What?" I grumble, "How you just shot the target without even looking, and you hit the bullseye!" She says, "Thanks. But it wasn't much" I say, "Wasn't much? Your kidding! That was incredible" she says, "Thanks. Hey. Will you go get Daryl for me?" I ask, she smiles politely and nods.
A few minutes later the car sinks again this time I look to the passenger seat and there isn't anyone there so I look to the trunk, then the hood and finally see Daryl leaning on the side of the hood, "You Ok?" He asks, "Yeah. I just don't feel to good. I'm gonna head back and take a nap. Will you hold things down at my station?" I ask, "Of course, go get some rest. I'm gonna see if anyone else wants to head back and they can just catch a ride with you" he says, I nod and sit there waiting. Finally Beth, Patricia, Maggie and Glenn walk over and hop in. I start up the jeep and we drive off.
Finally we get to the farm and I knock on the door before walking in, "Hey Hershel. Do you have any aspirin?" I ask pinching the bridge of my nose, "Yeah" he says before walking over to a cabinet and returning with two tiny white capsules. "I hate to be a burden but is there any chance you have any sleep pills? I haven't had a decent sleep in a while and I could really use one, it's taking it's toll on my body" I say with a slight laugh, he again goes to the cabinet and returns with 2 more capsules, "Thanks. I appreciate it" I say. "Anytime, if you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask" he says. I smile and go out to my tent, I lay down and slowly drift into sleep.
I wake up to Daryl crawling under my sleeping bag, I rub my eyes, "How long was I asleep?" I ask. "All day" he says, I look outside and night has fallen. I shake my head, "I think I might be catching something and I don't want you to get sick" I say, he hesitates but then he wraps his arm around me and pulls me to him, "I'll be alright" he says and rests his chin in the nape of my neck. His breathing slowly lulls me to sleep again.
