THE GROUP WAS GATHERED WITHIN HERSHEL'S KITCHEN. tension resting thick within the air, it was nearly suffocating, thick and overbearing. filling into every crevice of the home, wrapping tightly around each of them like a steel fist. lee leaned in the dining room chair, his broad back flush against the wood, arms folded tightly over his chest, jaw tightly clenched. a neutral expression resting on his face. lee was unsure how to feel, between the random boy they'd brought back who remained unconscious within the barn, and natalia who laid in a coma like state, his mind was all over the place, unable to form any idea for the groups situation, any plan for the boy that they didnt know what to do with. a frown rested on his face, his knee softly bounced. the relief of natalia being alive and as well as she could be, was short lived, her body laid in a coma. eyes squeezed shut, and an iv in her arm, giving her the fluids she desperately needed. she was dehydrated and malnourished. hershel had said if she was out there a day longer she would've died. everyone was happy to have the girl back, it seemed to slightly lift their spirits, only by a little, everyone still focused on their new problem. everyone thought she was dead, hell, even lee had thought she was dead. yet with her being back, it gave everyone a small sense of hope that things would start turning up, something they all desperately needed.
rick had shed a few tears upon seeing natalia, tears of relief. beyond grateful that his eldest child was back, even if she laid in a coma like state, it was better then her being missing still. she laid soundly in one of the rooms within hershel's home. lori was locked within the room with the girl, her face tear stained and her hand tightly clutching onto the girls hand. they'd all silently agreed to have someone with her until she woke, not wanting her to wake alone and be afraid.
while lori sat with the unconscious girl, the others sat in the living room of the green home. everyone attempting to decide what to do with the random boy in the barn. he was dangerous, that much was known. the people he had been with weren't good, and the last thing any of them needed was the boys people knocking on their front door. rick let out a slow sigh, his fingers punching the bridge of his nose. "we couldn't of just left him there. he would've bled out, if he lasted that long." rick told, voice trailing off as he spoke the last few words. it didn't sound like the boy had been worth saving, he seemed like a danger to them all. lee didn't like him being so close to the group, let alone to the women of the group. they had no idea who the boy was, and lee didn't feel like trusting him. the boy in the barn was a risk, and he would only be a greater one if they couldn't figure out what to do with him. if he escaped and made it back to his people, they would all be in for a world of trouble.
glenn sniffed lightly, lightly rubbing the back of his neck as he looked to his lap. "the towns getting bad." glenn told, recalling to the town that crawled with the dead, he ran the palms of his hands against his jeans, looking between each of the faces that had looked back to him. andrea nodded, resting against the wall beside the window, shane stood close to her. lee hadn't been oblivious to the way the two acted, the tension between them that made lee want to puke, a new found tension between the two. "so what do we do with him?" andrea questioned, looking to rick who pinched the bridge of his nose, a deep breath escaping his lips at the question. rick wasn't exactly sure what to do with the boy, he just knew no one deserved to die like that. even if he believed the boy had deserved to die in such a way, rick wouldn't of left him. lee knew deep down no matter what, the man would've helped the boy.
