She grabbed my hand, pulling me up. "Daryl you need to hurry! Raven is hurt!" My eyes widened seeing her necklace.

"Ya left her out in this forest without protection?" My voice was rising higher with every word but she started running. I limped behind her.

"Answer me Damn it!"

She turned towards me, an angry look on her face but tears were pouring down her face.

"I had no choice! It was a part of our deal!" I blinked trying to register this. The sweet little girl that everyone knew was yelling at me?..

She grabbed my hand. "Let's go." She started walking at a fast pace and I winced. She turned eyes wide. Her eyes landed on my injury and she turned around again, walking a little slower.

It took us ten minutes to get to Raven. She was leaning against a tree with an arrow in her right thigh. There were no walkers around so for now, we could assume she's safe.

Sophia let go of my hand and ran for her. She wiped her tears. "Raven, I'm sorry.. I broke the first rule.."

Raven opened her eyes slowly. She instantly started coughing. "D-Daryl?" I nodded and crouched down beside her. Her eyes caught my hard stare and she looked down at my own injury.

"You need to take the arrow out." I looked at her with a 'oh really' look. She smiled cheekily. Sophia touched the arrow lightly and Raven cried out in pain.

I heard feet shuffling and shot up with my crossbow aimed at the trees. Raven looked at Sophia. "Daryl, let Soph take em. If it's walkers, she can handle it." I looked down at the little girl with a scoff. I bent back down and started pulling the arrow out of her leg but she cried out and punched my arm so I fell back.

"Raven!" She sighed. "Just leave it."

Soph stood up with a knife in her hand. "I sense three of them. I'll be back." Raven nodded and closed her eyes, leaning her head back against the tree.

I chuckled, causing her to open an eye. She furrowed her eyebrows. "What's so funny." I pointed my my index at her. "You are."

She leaned her head up. "Even with this arrow in my leg I can still kick your ass Dixon." I chuckled again. "Prove it." she smirked, kicking me with her good foot lightly but wincing afterwards. "Oh I will."

She smiled at me. "Your an idiot." I rose an eyebrow. "I'm the idiot?" She nodded confidently. I smirked but her look hardened. "Daryl-"

"Nobody move."
