-Hayley's POV-

I didn't speak to anyone the rest of that day because I left Alexandria. I just needed a short break.

I ran out of our house sobbing. I saw Cat and Carl sitting on the porch. Cat was crying.

I ignored it though, and I kept running.

Over the wall... Into the woods...

I heard barking. I looked behind me and saw Milo trotting behind me. I smiled and wiped away my tears. He licked my face and I laughed.

After a few seconds, he ran away.

"Milo!!! Milo!!! Milo come back!!!" I yelled, running after him. I tripped and fell, and I puked.

Milo stood in front of me protectively. I looked up and saw a badger hissing at us. It lunged at me and bit me. I gasped and ran. I felt dizzy...

Oh fuck.

Everyone is going to think...

Everyone is going to think I'm bit!!!

~Cat's POV~
I rubbed Carl's arm as he fell asleep. I sighed and put a blanket over him.

"This girl," Celine came out with Violet behind her, "woke me up."

I smiled at Violet and she frowned.

"Well it's quite all right, are either of you thirsty or hungry?" I asked them. They both nodded and I took them inside.

+Carl's POV+
I woke up and Cat wasn't next to me.

"C-Cat?!" I jumped up and heard giggles from inside the house.

"Catrina?" I opened the door and she was sitting on the counter, watching Celine and Violet eat. I ran over to her and picked her up.

"Carl, what are you doing?" she asked. I put her down and kissed her forehead.

"Ooooh," Violet nudged Celine and they both burst into giggles. Catrina blushed and covered her face.

~Cat's POV~
I covered my face with my hands. Talk about embarrassing. I heard a noise outside and sobbing. Then Milo scratched on the door. Carl and I grabbed our guns and went out the door.

"Stay in the house!" I yelled to the girls. Milo circled around me and Carl and led us to Hayley. She had a bite mark on her upper arm.

+Carl's POV+
Catrina screamed so loudly that I had to cover my ears.

"NO!" she ran over to Hayley and hugged her. I looked at her arm and seen a bite. I pointed my gun at the sobbing Hayley.

"Carl, NO!" Catrina jumped up and slapped my gun out of my hands.

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

~Catrina's POV~
I looked back at Hayley and helped her up. It wasn't a walker bite, it was something else.

"Carl! It's not a walker bite!" I felt my stomach flip and I pucked. Freaking being pregnant sucks ass. I grabbed Hayley and Carl glared at me.

"If you trust me," I looked at Carl with all my might, trying to not look away, "you'd believe me and help."

He opened his mouth but nothing came out. He grabbed Hayley's right arm and helped her into the house.

-Hayley's POV-

Cat and I were in her room cleaning out the badger bite.

"Are you alright, Cat? I mean... Why'd you puke? Are you sick?" I asked. Cat looked down.
