Aubrey was running behind Rick as they made their way to a place to get Carl help. The man who shot him was lagging behind, the child was scared, she could just imagine how worried and scared Rick was and Lori when she finds out.

"Come on." Rick said running as fast as he could

"Hey, you move, shithead! Come on, get us there!" Shane told the man, Aubrey could tell he was scared too, she knew he cared about Carl.

"How far? How far?" Rick practically screamed, Aubrey didn't want to admit that this Rick scared her, she knew he was worried and just wanted to get help for Carl but she was scared.

"Another half mile, that way! Hershel, talk to Hershel, He'll help your boy. I'm sorry." The man shouted to Rick, Aubrey didn't know who she was meant to stick by, she didn't want to be near the man who shot Carl because he could have just killed her best friend but Rick was a lot faster than she was and she didn't want to be in his way.

"Let's go- Come on!" Shane said pulling the man up after he had fell to his knees. Aubrey was running between Rick and Shane, not quite as fast as Rick was but faster than Shane was with Otis, she stopped outside a house not wanting to go in without Shane, it was a strangers house after all and her mom always told her not to go in with strangers.

"Move!" Aubrey hears Shane's voice as he shouted for the man who shot Carl. Aubrey was stood in the door way of the room where Carl was, she wasn't really listening to what was going on she knew people were talking, the man who's house they were in had asked Rick what blood type Carl was, Bree knew that was important because if Carl got the wrong blood it would be bad

"That's fortunate. Don't wander far- I'm gonna need you. What happened?" She heard the man ask, Bree was trying so hard to remember his name but all that would come to her was the first letter so she was going through go through all the names that began with H until she remembered, it was going to take some time

"I was tracking a buck. bullet went through it. Went clean through." Otis told him, Bree wished someone would just say this man's name, she could hardly focus on the names beginning with H.

"The deer slowed the bullet down, which certainly saved his life, but it did not go through clean. It broke up into pieces. If I can get the bullet fragments out.. And I'm countin' six." The man said. Bree was trying so hard not to cry but seeing Carl the way he is was hard.

"You okay kiddo?" Shane asked as she saw Bree not moving, exactly like she was in the woods when Carl was shot but she wouldn't say anything, instead she walked out into the porch and sat on the steps, she knew she had to stay close to Rick or Shane but they had Carl to worry about right now so she just was going to sit on the steps of the house.

"Aubrey, your dad said you were out here. I made you a sandwich" one of the women informed Aubrey, she couldn't remember if this one was Maggie or Sadie but what confused her more was the face she had called either Rick or Shane her dad, Bree looked up to the woman and recognised that it was the one called Maggie. Sadie was the one helping her father look after Carl. Bree stood up silently and followed Maggie through the house into the kitchen where there was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Aubrey smiled a thank you to Maggie who sat beside her. If the girl was honest she wanted her mom. Aubrey picked at the sandwich, eating slowly as she just thought of her mom.
