You Don't Know Me

Your Leader

Blake's POV

BANG!!!

I slammed on the breaks when I heard the sound of a gunshot in the distance. I look over at Carl and he had the same worried look as I did.

"Did you hear that?" He asked me.

"Yeah.." I told him as I step on the gas. "Hopefully everything's ok with Joey and Zelda."

"He should have gotten to her by now." Carl said. "As long as she didn't have any trouble getting out."

I push on the gas all the way and watch the meter go all the way past 180. I knew we had to get to the meeting point to pick up Joey and Zelda fast. But since we heard a gunshot coming from the direction, I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I started to slow down the car when I saw figures in the middle of the road. I stopped the car and Carl and I got out to see it was Zelda and Joey. Zelda was on the ground kneeling in front of Joey who had blood coming out of his side.

"Please..." Zelda said with tears running down her face. "Help..."

"Grab the first aid from the trunk." I told Carl before running over to the injured Joey. "What happened?"

"He was shot." She told me as Carl hands her the medical kit. "I can save him." She said as she takes out some gauze and cotton and places it on his wound. "I have to."

===============================================================================

After a while Zelda told us that the bleeding stopped and decided it was best to let him rest. So Carl and I carried him and laid him down in the backseat of the car.

"So, what happened?" I asked Zelda.

"I was stupid." She said looking down at her blood stained hands. "I trusted someone. And he stabbed me in the back."

"Who was he?" Carl asked.

"He was in the cell with me." She told us. "He was the leader's son. He said he wasn't like them. Until he shot Joey."

"Well Joey's still breathing and he should be fine." I assure her. "The best thing to do now is to get back to the bank with the others."

"We can't." She tells us. "They know that's where we were."

"But my dad and the others are all there." Carl said.

"Then we go back and we all leave." She tells us. "Before they come for us."

We went back in the car with me in the driver's seat and Carl sitting next to me. Zelda sat in the back with Joey's head resting on her lap. Then I turned the car around and headed towards the bank.

===============================================================================

After getting to the bank Zelda told everyone about leaving. However since we only had one car that fit around 5 people it would be a bit difficult. So Rick decided to have Maggie and Zelda take Joey, Judith and Hershel go in the car while the rest of us walked hoping to find a place for us to stay.

After a few hours Maggie and the others came back with the car and told us about an abandoned cottage they found. So we followed Maggie in the car until we found the little white cottage. I noticed that there was a pretty big pond behind it.

After we went inside and checked to make sure it was clear of walkers, we figured that it would be good for us to stay here, at least for until Joey is back up on his feet. We carried Joey, who was still unconscious, and put him in the one of the beds.
