020. YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE ON ME

Chapter twenty

"You're not gonna die on me."

Daryl then stepped around them all "who the hell are you?" he asked "who the hell are you?" the prisoners asked, as Scarlett had taken the sheets out of the bag, putting pressure on Hershel's knee but he was bleeding through them and it was getting on her hands "Rick we need to get him out of here now." Scarlett shared, as Rick noticed her hands turning red "Scarlett.." Maggie told her, her voice breaking "come on out of there slow and steady." Daryl told the prisoners, as they walked out one at a time "he got bit." Daryl told him "bit?" the prisoner asked, pulling out his gun, T Dog aimed his at him "whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy now. Nobody needs to get hurt." Daryl told them.

"Do you have medical supplies?" Glenn asked, walking into the room the prisoners came from "find something to move him!" Scarlett voiced, as the walkers began banging on the door "who the hell are you people anyway?" the prisoner asked "don't look like no rescue team." another one said, as Rick lifted Hershel up from his arms "if a rescue team is what you're waiting for don't." Rick told them "Glenn!" Scarlett voiced, as Glenn came running in with a cart "this'll work?" he asked "yes lift!" Scarlett voiced, as Glenn put it next to them, he helped lift Hershel onto it and as he did, Scarlett got on, keeping pressure on the wound.

"T, the door." Rick told him, as T Dog moved toward's the door "are you crazy? Don't open that!" another prisoner voiced "we got this." Rick told them, as T Dog opened the door, one walker in riot gear came in, as he grabbed it and slammed it against the door, killing it through the neck, Rick, Glenn and Maggie began wheeling them out "Daryl. Daryl!" Rick called out, as T Dog and Daryl followed behind them as they headed down the hallway.

"This way. This way." Rick told them, going to go left, a walker was in front of them "no, no, no. Back, back!" Daryl voiced, as they went right, a walker was there "Daryl!" Rick voiced, as Daryl shot it "come on! Go! Go! Go!" Daryl voiced, as they wheeled past him, heading left down the hallway "stop, stop." Rick said, as they stopped, shadows could be seen down the hallway, as the prisoners began coming down it "go, go, go." Rick told them, as they started moving again.

Making it to the sitting room of the cell block, Daryl unlocked the door as they headed inside, Scarlett's hands were completely stained "he's losing too much blood!" she voiced "open the door! It's Hershel! Carl! Come on!" Rick voiced, as they wheeled over to the cell block door, Carl unlocked it, as they wheeled inside, they headed over to the cell, as Scarlett hopped off of it, Carol gave her towels, as Scarlett put them back on his leg "move him on three." she told them, as Lori and Rick grabbed onto him "one, two, three!" Scarlett voiced, as they moved him to the bed, the table was wheeled away.

"Carl, get me the towels by the side of your mothers bed, please!" Scarlett voiced, seeing that Hershel was bleeding through even the one's Carol had given her "is he gonna die?" Beth asked "no, he's gonna be okay. He's gonna be okay." Lori told her "you think you can stabilize him?" Rick asked her "if I can stop the bleeding, there's a chance yes. But I also need to elevate his leg, can someone get me pillows." Scarlett shared, as Rick went running out "he's already bled through the sheets." Maggie told her "I know." Scarlett told her "we can burn the wound to clot the blood. I'll start a fire." Glenn shared.

"God no please don't." Beth told him "we're not gonna do that. All it would do was put him into shock and kill him. The only way to stop the bleeding is dress the wound to where it will be able to heal on it's own." Scarlett shared, as Lori handed her the towels, Scarlett put them on his leg, as she then reached her other hand over to his wrist, checking his pulse and it was weak.

"Hey, this is my house, my rules. i got wherever I damn please." a man said, as they all except for Scarlett turn their heads "what was that?" Beth asked "prisoners, survivors." Rick told them "what?" Lori asked, as Rick held his hand "it's alright. Everybody stay put." he told them, as he turned walking out, Glenn went after him, but soon came and returned.
