The Farmer's Daughter (The Walking Dead)

//Chapter Nine\\

Carl's P.O.V

"Riza don't do this." I said as Hershel stood in shock. "We'll help her!" I said as I looked at Hershel.

He nodded his head very quickly than lead me into a cell.

Moments later everyone came running in from outside.

I was outside of the cell sitting on the floor crying, I had care for what dad was going on about.

I don't want her to leave, not yet. I still have many things to say to her.

"Carl!" Dad said as I looked up at him, I couldn't see him as clearly as I wanted to because of my tears.

"Is that your blood?" He asked with worry in his voice.

I shook my head an cried harder.

"Who's is it than?" He asked as I pointed into the cell where screams were heard.

Riza don't go yet!

~~~

"We got to go now then!" I heard Hershel say as he walk out of Riza's cell.

"Dad what's going on?" I asked wiping some tears away.

"We have to go out real quick." He said signing, "Riza won't make it if we don't go back to the farm."

"Wh- No you can't go! The farm is over run!" I said as I ran my hands through my hair, I know if they don't go back it will be awhile for them to find a hospital or pharmacy, and by then Riza won't be Riza.

"I know it won't be that easy but it's better than nothing." He said messing my hair up and gave me a hug before walking away.

I walked into the cell seeing Riza having trouble breathing.

"I got shot twice." She said with a light chuckle.

"What's so funny?" I asked as I sat beside her. 

"I though it won't hurt, but it does- Have you been crying?" She asked as I nodded my head.

"Awe don't join the dark side just yet." She said as Hershel came walking into the cell.

He gave me a soft smiled before giving me a nod.

"Are you okay sweetie?" He asked Riza.

"Yeah I'm alright." She answered calmly.

I'm not sure if he asked if she is okay emotionally or physically but either way no.

"I'm alright okay?" She said.

"Yes, your fine." Hershel said with a sad smile and left.

"Ngh." She groaned as she held her chest.

"Riza!" I exclaimed.

"This really hurts!" She whispered than shut her eyes tightly.

I didn't know what to do, I felt really helpless.

I don't remember much of when I got shot, the only thing I can do now is sit by her side.

"Lemme see where you got shot." I said when she finally calmed down.

"Here." Riza said lifting her arm to show me her waist, "and here." She said showing me the side of her chest.

There was blood starting to bleed through her bandages.

"Why don't you get yourself clean up?" She said.

"No it's fine I sho-" "Carl I'll be here when you come back. Dad is watching over me and the same with Carol and Beth. I will be fine." She reassured me.

"Okay but if you turn by the time I get here I'm going to-" "Yeah yeah just go clean yourself." She interrupted me.

Riza's P.O.V

"Hey sweetie." Dad said walking into the cell.

I was too tired to respond and it hasn't been that long since Carl left.

I felt his hand against my forehead, it was really cool.

"Oh my, Beth come here please." He said.

"What's wrong Daddy?" Beth's chirpy voice asked.

"Watch Riza while I go get something cool!" He said as I felt my hand go up and against the head on the bunk.

"She hasn't turned yet!" Beth said.

"It's just a safety precaution pumpkin." Dad said as he walked away.

I can slowly feel myself going away.

What's going to happen? Am I going to turn?

I really hope not! It will be a shame that another one of us left.

I closed my eyes and tried to breath softly.

Carl I'll be fine.
