Rick opened the gate and began shooting at walkers.
"Bella! Get back here!" He yelled, I was definitely going to get talked to about this. I stuggled with the woman on my back, her hair hung in my face, I had to look around them because I had no hands available to move it out of my way. Rick picked up her sword, Carl went for the red basket. We all ran back into the prison gate, that Rick closed once we were in. I set her down on the ground gently and checked her leg.
"Is she bit?" Hershel asked.
"Gun shot," I answered.
"What were you thinking?" Rick demanded angrily.
"That I was done seeing people die," I answered softly.
"What you did was stupid and dangerous, you could've gotten us killed," He snarled.
"I didn't ask you to help me," I said blankly.
"You could've died," Carl told me, looking at me with the same look his father was, "We can't lose you Bella."
"We should get her inside, take care of the wound," I stated trying to get them to focus on the woman.
"That we should," Hershel agreed.
"Wait inside the pr-" Rick started. I picked her up again, grunting with effort as I followed Hershel back to the room outside the Cell block. I laid her down on the ground.
I ran inside the cell block and grabbed a pillow out of a random cell and put it under her head.
"Who's that mom?" Katie asked me.
"I don't know, go grab the bandages please."
Hershel waited for Rick and Carl who were just walking in the door. They had to finish securing the gate.
We slid a blanket underneath her.
"Carl get some water and a towel," Rick commanded.
"She isn't staying in the cell block," Rick told me.
"I figured," I replied. Rick poured water on the woman's chest and she began breathing heavily. She was waking up and Rick tried to comfort her... sort of... with his words.
"Who are you?" Rick asked, the woman rolled and tried to reach for her sword, Rick kicked it and held the woman down.
"Take that away," Rick commanded. Beth picked it up and went into the cell block.
"Rick, who the hell is this?" Daryl asked, the woman sat up.
"Wanna tell us your name?" Rick asked. The woman stayed quiet, Rick asked again. Silence.
"Tanner found Carol," Daryl stated.
"Carl get the bag, let's go," Rick commanded.
"You're safe in here, the cell block is gonna be locked. Only because we don't know you, but I promise everything will be okay," I assured the woman. She glared at me, she obviously didn't trust me. Then I stood up, walking passed Daryl into the cell block.
"We'll treat your wound," That was the last thing I hear Rick say. I walked into Carol's cell. Tanner was sitting beside her, holding her hand.
"Hey," I smiled.
"Hi," Carol smiled back.
"You alright?" I asked.
"Yeah, a little dehydrated is all."
Carol stood up and hugged me, then hugged the rest of the group. Beth came into view with the baby in her arms.
Carol gasped, "Oh my!"
