War on the Body [1]

[10] We survive together

       Paige awakes to a loud sound, startling her to her feet she grabbed her gun and knife before leaving her cell. She walked out of C block and eventually the prison to see axel lying dead by Carol's feet.

Paige let's a startled gasp out as she sees the damage caused to the gate, most likely by the governor's order.

"Paige get down!" She heard Maggie yell as bullets ricocheted off the ground by the surgeons' feet.

Paige got down to the ground and tried her hardest to crawl to safety, but she saw the delivery truck, that had previously drove through the gate, open the back hatch. Releasing an abundance of walkers into the field, Paige then realized her father and Rick were separated from everybody else. Paige started shooting towards the walkers, as Maggie shot towards the individual in their watch tower. Maggie finally gunned him down, causing Paige to lay out a breath of relief. She made her way to the field as the governor and his people fled the scene.

"Daddy!" Beth yelled seeing Hershel being surrounded by walkers, causing Paige to shoot what she could before Glenn drove through to Hershel with the truck.

Paige kept shooting walkers down, before seeing Rick pinned against the fence, before she could shoot the walker an arrow had lodged itself in the walker's cranium. Paige let a small smile arise on her face as she saw the redneck she had grew to admire.

Paige continued shooting the walkers down, along with the others. She had run out of ammunition by the time, Glenn had reached the group. Hershel, Glenn, Rick, Daryl and Merle had entered the gates just as more walkers appeared from the sound of gunfire drawing them in.

As Maggie pulled Glenn into a hug and Beth pulled Hershel into a hug, Paige checked Rick and Daryl over for injuries.

"Are you okay? Any scratches or bites?" Paige asked the two men, receiving a small smile and grunt from Daryl

"I'm fine" Daryl mumbled, shaking Paige's hand from his shoulder.

"We are okay Paige, thank you" Rick said reassuring the young doctor.

"You going to ask me if I'm, okay?" Merle said looking at Paige, trying to flirt

"Your friend did this, I don't care if you are Daryl's brother or not. I could care less if you are okay" Paige snarled walking away from the group and towards her cell

"Feisty one, ain't she?" Merle said, attempting to earn a laugh from the group

"Shut up man" Daryl said rolling his eyes

Hershel decided to follow Paige into the cell, still worried about her injuries.

As Paige was laying on her bunk, she heard footsteps approach. She looked up to see her father.

"I'm fine dad" she said bluntly to him, being highly annoyed at the eldest Dixon still.

"No, you aren't, let me see your wound" Hershel ordered

"I know how to treat wounds in case you forgot, I am a surgeon"

Hershel rolled his eyes and walked closer to her, "No doctor can affectively care for their own wounds"

Paige groaned before showing her stab wound to Hershel, as he pulled the bandage away from the stitches, they pulled them ever so slightly. Paige let out a painful gasp, she knew it was infected just by the way it had dried to the stitches.

"It's infected, we need to keep an eye on it and clean it more often. I know we are limited on supplies but we can't have you losing a leg too" Hershel joked

"Not funny, I will be okay. I'll be even better if you keep Merle away from me" she told her father as Daryl walked into the cell.

"He won't be bothering you when I'm around Doc" Daryl told Paige earning a small smile from her
