The names Daryl Dixon, not The Archer.

Chapter 28

Carls POV

"Mom, no please" Tears started to roll down my cheeks as i ran next to Daryl with my mom in his arms, I gripped her hand with both of mine "Dont worry Carl, we'll get her back and safe" Daryl said to me, but i could see the worry in his face and the tears that were starting to form in his eyes. "Shes gonna be okay...right?" I asked. "I hope so...I really do" He said. Now i was starting to panic. Yeah sure shes not my real mom, and Daryls not my real Dad. But she was there for me from the minute she found out my real mom had died, and Daryl has always been there for me. When my dad went missing and we thought he was dead, Zoe and Daryl took me and Judith on as there own, they felt like my real parents. I couldnt lose one of them now, not after the last 7 years, it would be like losing my real mom all over again, and i can't do that.

When we got back to the car Daryl layed her in the back seat and i sat in the back aswell and kept pressure on her wound. "Is there an exit wound?" Daryl asked while starting up the car. I looked at the back of her leg to see another wound, i put pressure on that aswell "Yeah". He sighed with relief, "That makes things easier then, we wont have to get any bullet shards out from her leg, but someone will have to stitch her up, and i dont know who will be able to do that" he said. "Rick can, i remember before all this happened, i split my knee open and we couldnt get to a hospital so he stitched it up himself, it didnt hurt or anything" I told him. He nodded and started to speed up the car when he noticed just how much blood there was. I held onto her hand with my free one and squeezed it, "You'll be okay mom" I whispered to her, over and over.

Ricks POV

I heard the car pull up outside so i knew that Carl, Daryl and Zoe were back. "RICK, RICK GET THE OTHERS TO GET THE KIDS IN A ROOM AWAY FROM THE LOUNGE NOW!" I heard Daryl shouting so i quickly got the others to get the kids in a room, Maggie and Beth came out to see what was going on, Carl suddenly ran through the door and dropped the bags of supplies. "Get the medical supplies, we need you to give stitches" He said, I started to worry. "Why whats happened?" I asked. "Mom, Zoe, shes been shot, she needs stitches now" after i heard that I quickly ran to get the medical supplies, when i got back Daryl was kneeling next to the sofa with Carl and Beth, he was holding on to Zoes hand, i felt pain go through me as i seen her leg and the amount of blood on her jeans, she wasnt concious. "Okay, Maggie, Beth, Carl, hold her still for me, just incase she wakes up, Daryl, stay there and just talk to her" They all nodded, I quickly got her jeans off and cleaned up the wound with alchohol. I havent done stitches in about 11 years, but i was gonna do my best. I started to stitch up her wounds and I did a pretty good job "Daryl just lay her on your bed, she will wake up eventually" He picked her up and carried her into their room. she lost a lot of blood, im only hoping that she will wake up. She could die from blood loss.

Daryls POV

I layed Zoe down on our bed and held her hand as tears started to roll down my cheeks, "Please wake up Zoe, please, i dont know what i would do without you, especially in this world, c'mon Zoe wake up please" I put my ear to her chest and just layed there for a while listening to her heartbeat, i was there for around an hour and she still hadnt woken up, i decided to get something to eat and then to come back, just as i was about to leave i heard a whisper, "Daryl" I turned around to see Zoe, barely concious, i quickly walked back over and knelt down next to her "Oh my god Zoe your awake" I squeezed her hand and kissed it. "I think im gonna throw up" I picked her up and took her to our bathroom. I held her now extremely long hair back. When she was done I carried her back to the bed and put her under the covers. "Just rest, you need to rest okay" She nodded and went to sleep.
