Arrowed Heart

Chapter five

(I'm just gonna skip the cdc episodes)

"Get down"

We found a safe haven, it didn't last long, we're on the road again.

Sophia, Carl and I were exploring the highway, Rick ran by us telling us to get down, hide under a car.

I grabbed my sister and pulled her under a car, Carl was under a car beside us.

-

Minutes past and the walkers have seemed to die down.

"I'm gonna check"

Sophia stuck her head out, quickly she shuffled under the car trying to hide.

"What happened?"

"They seen me"

Two walkers knelt down and saw us hiding, Sophia grabbed my head, the two of us got out from underneath the car.

We stood up and hopped over the side of the rode sliding down the little hill.

I grabbed Sophia's hand again and ran, the walkers were right behind us.

-

Someone grabbed us from behind, I went to scream but their hand went over my mouth.

"Shhh, it's me"

It was Rick, he moved us away from the walkers and into a little hole.

"I need you two to stay here, I'm going to distract the walkers then come right back for you two"

I nodded my head, Sophia shook her head no.

"Don't leave us here please"

"I'll be right back okay, just stay here"

"No, no please"

"Sophia we'll be fine, Rick will come right back and get us, nothing bad is gonna happen"

"Promise?"

"Yes I promise"

-

"Sophia come back here"

I ran after my sister, she heard a noise and took off running"

"Sophia it was nothing"

My sister stopped running and turned towards me.

She pointed behind me the took off running again.

I felt something grab me before sinking it's teeth into my arm.

-

Sophia left me to die, I'm laying on the ground covered in my own blood.

There was something in the distance, a barn, a shed or maybe even a house.

-

It's a house, it has food and medical supplies.

I grabbed a machete and hovered it over my arm.

My arm had marker just above the bite, I was going to cut my arm off.

"Ahhhhh" I brought the machete down onto my arm cutting deep.

Blood soaking the cloth, table and machete.

Quickly I ripped off my other sleeve and wrapped it around my arm.

The I grabbed another cloth and wrapped that around my arm too.

I held onto the table feeling dizzy, I lost a lot of blood.

"Hey, anyone in here?"

It was a woman's voice, no one from my group.

"Help!"

The woman ran over and caught me just in time.

She was pretty, short hair, cowboy hat and green eyes.

-

"I'm Hershel and that's my daughter Maggie"

"Thank you Hershel"

"You're a lucky girl, not a lot of people would've survived that"

I got up hearing a noise outside, there was a man running towards the house carrying a bleeding boy in his arms.

"Rick?" I whispered.

"You know him" Maggie asked me.

"Yeah he's from my group"

-

"Max is that you?"

"Yeah"

"We were all worried about you and your sister"

"She left me to die"

"What do you mean?"

I pulled off the shirt that I was wearing, thanks to Beth.

Rick stared down at my arm, he looked sad and confused and scared.

"What happened?"

"I got bit"
