Rifles and slingshots. [10k/znation fanfic/lovestory][2nd story]

Up to Minneapolis. Chapter 4

[10k's POV]

"Damn! MURPHY!" I heard someone yell, which made me open my eyes. Slowly I got up and began collecting my stuff which was all over the place. The others were standing on the street, looking down the road. I walked up to them "What's wrong?!" I asked a little confused. "We lost Murphy and Cas." Doc paused "They drove off in the Dodge." he continued. 

I was pretty annoyed by the fact he was trying to escape from us every single time. But now I asked myself, what happened to Daisy and Addy... About 50 yards down the road we saw them. Daisy was limping and Addy supported her. "What happened?! Are you okay?!" I asked concerned. I saw, that Daisy was under pain. She mumbled "I am. Just a scratch."

Doc began checking his pockets. He found some painkillers and handed Daisy one. We started walking the way, Murphy drove earlier. 

~~~

We are lost for over a week now. Still haven't found Murphy or the girl which is with him. But Mack and Daisy are doing better! We were heading to Minneapolis. Why? Doc told me, that he knew, why Murphy wanted to go there. Something with Z-Weed. This just confused me, so I stopped asking questions. 

A few miles before we reached Minneapolis, we ran out of gas again. I took Daisy with me and told the others to not wait for us, if they find gas earlier. 

Walking down the street to Minneapolis, I heard voices. I grabbed Daisys' wrist without thinking further and pulled her in the woods. Hiding behind a bush, a group of four men passed us. "What is it?!" Daisy whispered. "Sshhh!" I shut her us as quick as I could.

"Rick! I heard something!" one of the man said and walked our way. I pushed my finger against my mouth, signalizing Daisy to be quiet. He came closer and closer, and I could already see his silhouette through the leaves, as the other man called him back "Glenn! I found something!".

The lights slowly disappeared. "Follow me!" I whispered and sneaked away. As I spotted the lights coming back, we started running!

[Daisy's POV]

After a mile of running through the woods, I saw the light of a camp fire. "Do you think we'll find some gas there?" I pointed at the light. 10k didn't stop walking "Maybe. Let's find out!".

Behind us, I saw the lights coming back and started running again! "Shane! Rick!" I heard someone yelling again. Suddenly I reached their camp, I think. "10k?" I asked into the dark woods. "10k?!" I again asked a little louder. 

I sneaked up slowly and hoped, they wouldn't kill or hurt me... My hands up in the air, I walked slower, as one of the women  stood up and pulled out her gun. "I don't have any fire weapons!" I said and laid down my katana, slingshot and knife. "My name is Daisy! My motorcycle ran out of gas a few miles down the road! "Motorcycle? Huh?" I felt something bushing against my back. One of the man came back earlier. "Walk!" he pushed me forward. My heart was racing. Standing a little closer to the fire, the pushing sensation stopped. The man started checking, if I carried more weapons. "She's okay." he said and walked around me. A lady in her 40s stood up "Have a seat! Do you want some tea?". I sat down net to a younger girl, maybe around 15 or 16. The lady handed me some tea. "Thank you!" I said and took a sip. "Where ya from?!" the man asked. He looked pretty messed up. On his accent I noticed he was from the south. "Portland." I answered. He was eating a raw raccoon with his hands what creeped me out a little, but so far, he was the most likable.

 "Where are my manners?! I didn't tell you our names! So... I'm Carol, this is Beth, Maggie, Michonne, Baby Judith, Carl, Dale and Hershel!" the lady said "Oh well... and this this Daryl.".
