Carl's POV

Everything happened so quickly, one second my sister and I were admiring a deer the next second I'm knocked back as she falls onto me as I get up I see her shirt soaked with her crimson blood, a man appears "oh my, I'm so sorry,I-I didn't see her" the man stutters looking at my bleeding sister on the ground, anger fills me, I start yelling at the man, how could he not see her and shoot her? dad scoops Ellie up from the ground "I have a house not far from here, they have a doctor,hershel,he can save the girl" the man tells us as i start running as fast as I could in the direction he told us too, dad holding my unconscious sister starts running aswell,his shirt is now soaked with her blood, Shane and the unknown man follow, I run for what felt like forever, I felt so tired but I couldn't stop,I had to get the where that mans house,they needed to save my sister, I couldn't get air in my lungs, I felt like I was going to pass out but I couldn't stop till I saw a house in the distance, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, the house came closer into my vision "Hey!" I yelled "We need help!" I continue yelling intil I reach the house, six people came through the door, it was an old man,two women,two teenagers and a girl that looked around our age,"please,my sister was shot,please help her" I say gasping for air putting my hands on my knees as I try to get air into my lungs, dad, shane and the other man soon come running "my girl was shot by your man, please save her" dad says desperately, the old man who I assumed was hershel told dad to bring her in, he told the others to get his things as dad rushed Ellie to a room, they laid her down on a bed, she was so pale, she looked like a ghost, I couldn't stand to look at her like this "hey buddy,why don't we wait outside they need space" Shane says putting his hand on my shoulder.

As much as I tried to get it off my mind, what just happened,I just couldn't it just kept replaying in my head, a while later I walked back into the room, she was still unconscious, she wasn't as pale as she was before, I hated seeing her like this, mom came rushing in "oh my god " she says looking at Ellie before hugging me.

Hershel had tried to get a piece of the bullet out of Ellie while she was awake, he put his tools into her gunshot wound as she screamed while tears ran down her face , "stop your killing her!" Dad yells, mum pulls me into a hug as I cry into her shirt, her cries went on for a while till she fell silent, I looked back at her,she was silent "is she dead?" I quietly ask "no she's just passed out" hershel responds, "she's loosing more blood then her body can reproduce,we need a blood transfusion" hershel explains "I can do it" I say as I hold my arm out, "Carl no" dad says "I wanna do it" I tell him "it will be too much for you" dad tells me "I'll do it" he holds his arm out as hershel gets out a needle.

Dad told me that Shane and Otis had to go to a nearby school to get supplies for Ellie,so they headed out"stay safe bud" Shane tells me messing up my hair, a while later it became dark and Ellie's condition was getting worse, dad was giving more blood,he too was pale as a ghost, we all sat on sides of her bed as we watched her unconscious body hoping Shane and Otis would return, "we have to do the operation without the supplies" hershel explains "but didn't you say she could die from that?" Mom asked frantically "yes,but we have not her option" hershel speaks again, worry flows though my body, she could die?, just as hershel was about to start operating a car pulled up outside the house,I ran outside as fast as I could, it was Shane, relief washed over me, he limped past me as he gave the supplies to hershel.
