The undead (JSE)

29.

P.O.V. Jack.
When I found the others Daniel was seriously hurt. We got back to the farm as soon as we could and Kenny patched him up.

"Where's Addy?" Mark asked concerned, he woke up! I sigh.

"Searching, for the others, good to see you up and around." I say smiling giving him a hug.

"You just let her take off?" Felix asks. I sigh.

"She wanted to go, I tried to stop her but you know how she is, when she wants something, she goes for it." I say.

"You need to find her." Amy says looking past me. I turn around to see the others walking trough the gate.

"Shit." I say. I grab the horse and jump on it's back.

"Jack!" I hear. I stop to see Amy run up to me.

"I'm coming with you." She says. I nod. I take her hand and pull her up.

"Take care of the others for me." I say to Felix before storming past everyone. I go to the place where I last saw her.

"We said goodbye here, she went that way." I say.

"Go." Amy says. I make my horse run into that direction. We follow the hoofprints that her horse left behind a few hours ago.

"Why did she go into the woods?" I ask softly seeing the hoofprints taking a turn. I slow down and follow the prints. That's when we find her horse. Alone, all her bags and weapons still on it.

"Shit." I say and run over to it. Footsteps go into the other direction.

"Get off, we're walking." I say as I take my gun out. She get's off the horse and follows me. We slowly walk trough the forest until we hear some voices. We crouch down behind some bushes and listen closely.

"Come on you bitch." A deep voice says.

"If that herd catches up you're going to die." Herd? Amy sneezes and the footsteps stop.

"Come out! I don't got time for this." The guys says.

"Stay down." I whisper to Amy. I stand up and get shot down imediately.

"NO!" I hear Addy scream. I hear two gunshots. I hold my stomach as I hear the growls getting closer. I start choking and tears roll down my face. I hear gunshots. A walker falls on top of me and I use all my strength to keep it off. A gunshot sounds and the walker goes limp. I see Addy standing there, gun in her hand and the other on her stomach which is dripping with blood.

"AMY COME ON! HELP ME WITH JACK WE GOTTA GO!" Addy says. Amy runs up to us and they get me to the horses. They help me up and Amy sits down behind me as Addy climbs onto hers with a lot of difficulties. When she's finally seated she grabs her stomach in paind and looks up at us.

"Go." She says signaling her horse to go before the herde catches up. Amy tries to hold me seated as we gallop to the farm.

"ADDY ARE YOU OKAY?" Amy asks.

"Yes go." She answers weakly. When we finally arrive Amy screams for help. Felix and Mark catch me falling off the horse. I hear a soft thump and see Addy laying on the ground, blood everywhere.

"Addy." I whisper as loud as I can. I see Dan and Joey help her.

"Go, get them inside." Kenny says. Addy gets carried inside and Felix and Mark carry me in after. They bring Addy into a room and me into another.

"Addy...how's...Addy." I say inbetween gasps for air.

"She's gonna be okay, calm down." Amber and Matthias walk in and I black out.

I wake up to the darkness. I look around me to see Mark sleeping in a chair. Mark!

"Mark." I say softly. He looks up.

"Jack?" He asks. He opens the window and let's the light shine through. He smiles.

"Welcome back buddy." He says. I chuckle.

"How long have I been out?" I ask.

"Only for an hour." He says.

"How's Addy?" I ask concerned. He sighs.

"They're still working on her. The shotgun shell is spread and the damage is big. She may not survive." He says softly. My eyes widen.

"No, my girl is a fighter." I say as I get up ignoring the pains in my stomach. I get out of the room and enter the one that they brought her in earlier. A lot of blood cover the white sheets as Kenny and Amy work on her. Her peacefull face covered in blood. I stand in the door opening.

"Sam..." I hear softly.

"Jack...Sam..." Comes from her mouth. I back out the door. I go downstairs to see everyone sitting and standing in the kitchen. Sammy is sleeping in the crate that Addy got for the little duder.

"Jack." Felix says and hugs me. I wrap my arms around him and hug him close. A series of hugs follow before Kenny and Amy walk down almost comepletely covered in blood. I turn to them, filled with hope.

"It's hard to say at the moment if she'll make it, we got all the pieces but she lost a lot of blood. She's passed out and we hope she'll wake up soon." Kenny says. I nod.

"Can I see her?" I ask softly. He nods. I walk up the stairs. I open the room and she just lays there. I lay down next to her.

"You're gonna be fine." I whisper.
