Dixon's Daughters

part four

Mia let out a small scream, and I clamped my hand over her mouth. The man's head snapped this way and started walking over slowly with his gun raised, "Who's there? Come out with your hands raised!" He shouted and looking at Mia I nodded slowly meaning we should stand up, and that's what we did.

Standing up slowly Mia raised her hands I followed her lead at first instead I had my gun pointed back at the stranger I said, "We just want to go get some gas and to leave." He saw the gun and then looked at me, "Put it down." He said calmly, "How do we know you won't shoot us like that little girl?" Mia said rather harshly, "I don't think that was a girl Mia. I think it was one of those things that were on the TV at home." I stated, then lowered my gun. "Who are you?" I asked the sheriff. He put his gun back in his belt giving me my answer, "King County Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes, who are you?"

"Natalia Dixon. This is Mia Rose, my friend." I said softly then after a few seconds Mia stated that we should get back and I agreed. Rick then said, "I have a car, I was just looking for gas. I can take you girls back if you'd like." I looked over at Mia seeing if she wanted to and she nodded. As we walked back to his car that wasn't too far away, walking past a car trying to be quiet as 

possible not knowing if there were more of those things.

Mia was behind us as walked, I heard a small scream, I whipped my head around and before I knew it the thing that was holding her sunk its teeth into her arm ripping a chunk of flesh out. Rick wasted no time putting a bullet in the cannibalistic creature's brain as I stood there in shock. She let out a scream and held her arm as blood gushed out, I took my tank top off not caring about anything else, I tied it around her arm and the blood-soaked right into it. "We have to get back now!" I exclaimed my voice full of fear, looking at Mia I reassured her that she would be fine Rick picked her up and we ran to his car. He sat with her in the back as I drove the car back to where my car was, I parked as we arrived, Rick helped Mia out as I rushed over getting the medical supplies and putting a t-shirt on. Grayson got on and looked at the man he didn't know then over at Mia, "What happened!" He shouted as I got to work cleaning her 

wound.

"We were going back to his car Mia was walking behind us she didn't see the creature in the car. It grabbed her, sinking its teeth into her arm before we could do anything to stop it." I rushed the explanation out, looking at him as I wrapped a bandage around her arm, standing up as I finished I looked at Rick and Grayson leading them away from the car, and out of earshot from Mia, "What do we do?" Grayson asked I looked at the older man to my left looking at him for answers, "We have to wait and see. Maybe she won't turn into one of those things." Rick stated. "Infected," I said and they both looked at me, "The little girl back there she wasn't human. But she wasn't dead either, she was infected with something. Maybe my mother was wrong, and nothing happens when you get bit or scratched from one." Deep down I wanted to believe what I said, but I couldn't bring myself too, I knew they didn't believe what I said about nothing happening, if the infected bit or scratched you.

We walked back over to Mia, Presley was sitting next to her playing with her toys that she got out while we were looking for gas. She looks up running over to give me a hug, I pick her up hugging her close to me, she saw Rick and shied away from him hiding her head in my shoulder, "Presley this is Rick, Rick this is my sister Presley." He smiled and said softly, "Hi Presley, I have a daughter around your age. I think you two would get along great, her name's Judith." This got her attention, she looked over at him, "Is she nice?" He nodded and turned towards me, "I have a son about your age, his name is Carl."

Around eight, I put Presley down on the seat of the car getting her to fall asleep, Mia was getting worse and we didn't know what to do about it, Grayson sat with her not wanting to leave her side. I walked over to Rick who was sitting in his car, I saw him looking at a picture, "Is that your family?" He looked over at me saying, "Yes, Carl, Judith and my ex-wife Lori." He then paused before speaking again, "When I put some gas in your tank, where will you guys go?"

"The outskirts of Atlanta, my father lives there. I need to know that he's alive." I said my voice lowered, his eyes softened and he said, "How about you guys come with me to my house? I need to know if my family is still there, then we can go to yours and see if he's still there." She nodded agreeing with what he said.
