~Rick's pov~
"Shit" I let out, by the time we reach phoebe and Daryl she was bent over him
"Give me your shirt" She says pointing to Shane, he slides his arms through his already open top and hands it to her quickly
"Why the fuck does she have a gun?!" Phoebe asks holding the shirt to his wound, I turn back to the caravan to find Andrea with a shot gun, I can feel my face pale,
"God he was bleeding out before she shot him! Get him up we gotta move quickly he's been hurt for hours" She says, Shane and Tdog lift Daryl up and put his arms over their shoulders he's out cold as they drag him through the field. Phoebes eyes follow where Andrea and Dale are running towards us
"What the hell happened?" Glenn asks seeming to read everyone's minds
"He fell down a cliff and landed on an arrow we've been stuck for hours and the horses were gone so we had to walk, we need to get in back quickly" She says,
"You could have hit her" hershal says to Andrea once we reached the yard
"Hershal let me get Daryl fixed up and trust me I'm dying to sort this out" she says fuming
"Look I didnt-" Andrea starts
"Dont, Go back to the camp and stay there" I interupt her, phoebe looks like she's about to shoot her, and hershal looks like he's about to let her.
"We uh, found this" She says holding out a doll
"That's Sofia" I say, she nods handing it to me
Once we get Daryl on a bed everyone leaves so it's just the three of us. She pulls various pieces of torn clothes off his torso before taking his shirt off, my eyes roam over her body as I realize for the first time she's only in a sports bra, my eyes fall on a tattoo along her side that says angel before noticing a bullet scar just above the waitline of her pants
"We found the doll washed up on a creek, when Daryl wakes up he'll be able to show you where" she says breaking me out of my trance. I give her a nod though she doesn't see it as she stitches Daryl chest
"Why did she have a gun?" She asks finally looking me in the eye,
"I have no idea, dale was suppose to be on look out just like we spoke about" the last think I need is for her to think I went back on my word
"She can't have a gun on the property at any time I won't allow it and she needs to be put in her place I have done a lot for your people but I won't put up with the disrespect she's been throwing around since she got here" sh leaves no room for negotiation
"How's he looking?" I ask chancing the subject
"He's ganna be fine" She answers bandaging a wound up before she moves towards the bedside table and I notice the limp I must have missed before
"Are you alright?" I ask, my eyes scan her body again for any injuries I might have missed
"I just twisted my ankle it should be fine tomorrow" She replies giving me a small smile, as she carries on working Shane's words from earlier replay in my head
"What's on your mind rick" she asks looking into my eyes like she can see my soul
"I gotta make a decision, I know what I wanna do but some others aren't agreeing with me" I say running a hand over my face
"What's going on? Maybe I can help" She says, my eyes snap back to her face and I find nothing but honesty in her words
"I, uh" I straighten up in the chair and clear my throat
