Be Nice to All you Meet (The Walking Dead:Daryl Dixon)

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

It was a good half hour of intense fast driving. Everything whooshed by me as I sped the car trying to keep up with Shane and Daryl’s cars. Nothing was going through my mind except to follow the cars and make sure no one was following us. I kept looking back to make sure.

It was a relief to see that familiar giant gate ahead of me as we drove onto the graveled road. The gate slid open and we all sped in. Rick and Glen were already there waiting for us looking anxious. I guess they noticed our speed driving. We all drove in and I slammed the brakes.

I sat in my car for a moment trying to calm down and figure out what just happened. I heard the door slam ahead of me and looked up to see Shane and Daryl getting out of their cars walking over to Rick. I can tell Shane was angry because his face was turning red and his hands were going crazy pointing everywhere. I saw Andrea and Maggie come running out from the prison, probably heard Shane.

I was starting to feel woozy, tired. I felt like I was still moving, like the car was still moving. I leaned back and took a few breathes. I heard a knock on my door and looked over, it was Carl. I leaned over to open the door.

“Hey Carl,” I said quietly

“Macy, are you alright? You’re bleeding.” Carl asked looking concerned.

I looked at him for a minute trying to figure out what he was asking. Then I remembered the cut on my neck. I reached my hand up to fell for any blood, and I did feel it. I looked at my hand to see it splattered with red. I looked down at my shirt to saw it wet with blood.

“Crap.” I swore, I didn’t even notice, probably from all the adrenaline I had trying to escape those guys. I pulled down the drivers mirror and tried to get a closer look at the wound. Gross, the left side of my neck had a deep gash and it was dripping out bright red blood. I took a breath to steady myself. I was never really good with blood, even a paper cut use to make my stomach move.

“Dad, Macy’s hurt!” I heard Carl call out next to me. Great, I felt all the eyes turn over to me.

I turned so I could get out of the car but Rick was there stopping me.

“Whoa whoa, let me take a look there.” He said.

“Rick, it’s fine, it’s just a cut, and I can handle it.” I said back taking a step out of my car.

“Alright, but let’s make sure and let Hershel take a good look at it.” He said leading me back into the prison. I could feel the eyes on me as I walked past the others and I just looked down. This was not the kind of attention I liked.

We got into the prison and Hershel was sitting there, I think he already knew someone would come back hurt because he had his “doctor kit” open and ready.

“You know Rick I could clean it myself with some water and patch it up too. No need to waste Hershel’s time.” I said

“I have plenty of time Macy, don’t worry, it won’t hurt.” Hershel informed me. As I walked over to take a seat I heard the door open, I guess the others were coming in, hopefully not to watch the show.

I sat quietly trying not to think of what Hershel was going to do next while I watched Glenn and Maggie talk. I think they’re together, that’s cute.

“Oww!” I screamed

“Sorry Macy, you just gotta work with me for a bit here.” Hershel said.

“I’m just stitching it up.” He said

“Awesome, nothing to numb it up to doc?” I asked

“Sorry sweetie.” He said back.

I nodded. Perfect
