Apocalyptic Love

Chapter 21 Prison Rules

The five prisoners are still standing behind the wall. Daryl, with his crossbow, pointed in their direction, walked towards them.

“Who the hell are you,” Daryl demanded.

“Who the hell are you,” One of the prisoners countered.

“Come on out here slow and steady,” Daryl said, pointing his crossbow at the prisoners.

“We need to get Hershel back so Kagome can close the wound,” Rick said with an urgent tone. Hershel wasn't bleeding too badly, but still, it wasn't safe for him.

“What happened,” One of the prisoners asked.

“He got bit.”

“Bit? What the hell did that chick do to him?”

“None of your business,” Daryl said, still pointing his crossbow.

The prisoner Tomas pulled out a gun, and T-Dog points him at him, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy now. Nobody needs to get hurt.”

“We need to hurry before the blood attracts more Walkers,” Rick said.

Glenn walked towards the back and asked the prisoner is if they had any medical supplies. They don't answer, so he grabbed a cart so that they could put Hershel on it and wheel him back. The Walkers that are at the door are now riled up after smelling Hershel's blood and are trying harder to get into the cafeteria.

“Who the hell are you people anyway,” Tomas asked.

“You don't look like no rescue team,” The other prisoner Axel said

Rick picked up Kagome, who was only semi-conscious, “If a rescue team's what you're waiting for, don't. Come on; we gotta go!”

They lift Hershel onto the cart, then T-Dog opened the door. He killed the Walkers that were trying to get in; then they rush out of the cafeteria.“Daryl, Daryl, let's go!”

Daryl backed out of the room, still pointing his crossbow, then took off after the others. He killed a few walkers heading their way, then told them to stop when he saw that the prisoners were following them. When they got back to the cellblock, Rick yelled for Dale to unlock the door. Dale rushed forward and opened it.

“What happened?!”

“Hershel got bit, but Kagome saved him. He's still bleeding, though,” Rick explained.

“And Kagome?”

“She used all her energy to save Hershel.”

Kagome opened her eyes, “I'm only a little tired; that's all.”

Carl opened the other door, and they rushed in, “Daddy!” Beth cried when she saw the blood on her father's leg.

“He's alright for now. We need towels. We need to stop the bleeding,” Rick said.

Amy and Sophia rushed off to get all the towels they had while Amy started tearing the sheets they had. Glenn and T-Dog settle Hershel down on his bed, and Carol immediately began applying pressure to the wound, “Oh my God, it's a bite!”

“It's alright, Kagome did her healing thing and purified the infection,” Glenn said.

Carol sighed and continued to apply pressure. Meanwhile, Rick put Kagome down in their cell so she could rest. He rushed off to bring her some water then sat her up so she could drink, “Baby, are you okay?”

“I'm fine, Rick, don't worry. I only need to rest. The good thing is I was able to heal most of Hershel's bite so he won't bleed out. They still need to stop the bleeding, but he can wait a bit until I rest so I can heal the rest.”
