•Sheriff's Son•

S2:Triggerfinger

I grab my duffle bag and hold it close. I put my bow on my back. I just killed two living guys. I feel numb as if all the emotion was drained from me. It's already dark. Rick asks me Glenn and Herschel if we're alright. Glenn and Herschel respond yea. I just nod. Herschel says we should head back. We get down because a car passed. I have my gun out now. I hear men talk and yell for Dave and Tony. Uh oh. A man approaches the door of the bar. I'm next to Rick. Glenn is next to Herschel. My breathing becomes rapid and short and it's loud. I try to calm down my breathing. When I finally do Rick stands up and looks out the window. He heads towards Glenn and Herschel. He tells us we have to go out the back. I hear them talk. They ask if someone's in here. Glenn covers the door to not let them in. Rick yells that they drew on us. They ask if Dave and Tony are alive. Rick yells no. Rick yells at them even more. They fire their guns. Rick yells at us to go. Glenn and and Herschel take cover. I take cover behind the counter. I have my duffle bag, gun, and bow with me.
I hope everyone is okay at the farm. If I die I will let Carl, Glenn, and Dale get my stuff. Rick yells for the guys to back off and that no one else needs to get hurt. Glenn runs to a door and looks inside. I'm guessing that's the back. I hear a gunshot. Rick gets worried and whisper yells Glenns name. Glenn says he's alright. He stutters a bit though. I guess today will be the day I die. Rick tells Herschel a plan. Herschel goes to cover Glenn. Rick tells me to go cover Herschel. I nod and go. Glenn opens a door leading outside. They haven't noticed me yet. He goes outside. Herschel shoots a guy to cover Glenn. Glenn goes behind the dumpster. Rick walks up behind me and asks Herschel what happened. Herschel tells Rick what happened. Rick walks over to Glenn. He asks if he got shot. Glenn tells him no. Rick reassures Glenn that it's alright. Someone fires. I get hit. Right below my arrow wound and on my thigh."Fuck!" I whisper yell. The other guys leave a guy for dead. The guy yells for help. Herschel shoots a biter. Rick, Glenn, and Herschel argue about what to do about the guy that got stuck. His leg is stuck on a sharp edge of a fence. Herschel suggests we put him down. They haven't noticed I've been shot yet. Wow such great supervision. They're gonna cut his leg off. Lower leg only. Biters start approaching. I start shooting at them with my bow. Rick, Glenn, and I cover Herschel. Rick gets the guy's leg off the fence. The guy yells in pain. "Oh stop being a drama king" I say. I wonder what everyone at camp is doing. I didn't tell anyone I was going with Rick and Glenn. I'm only 12 and I've gotten shot three times, an arrow in my side, and popped my stitches. I'm surprised I haven't died from blood loss. My blood type is O negative. That means only people with O negative can donate blood. But I can donate blood to anyone, no matter what type of blood they are. I'm a universal donor. I hope Beth and Maggie are alright. I'm not even thinking about myself. Every thought that rushes through my head isn't even about me. Only about everyone else at camp. Even about the birds. My foster siblings. We get back at the farm. We get out. No one even cares that I'm back. I get my duffle bag and get out the car. Maggie hugs Glenn. Then she hugs me. I smile. She sees that my clothes is soaked in blood. She asks about it. "Oh I just got shot below my arrow wound and on my thigh too. No one noticed" I say. She looks shocked. She runs over to Herschel and tells him. He tells Patricia to prepare a room and the shed for surgery. T asks about Randall. "That's Randall" Glenn says. I limp into the house. It's very noticeable. I get on the bed. Herschel oerforms surgery on Randall first. Then he stitches me up. "What is it with you and getting shot?" He asks. I shrug. "Bad luck I guess" I say. He walks out to the others. I hear them arguing about Randall. I groan. My head hurts. So does my thigh and lower abdomen from getting shot. I try to fall asleep but I can't. I hate myself for going with them. I hear Glenn talk to Maggie. I can tell that Glenn is upset at Maggie. I get up and limp towards her. "You okay?" I ask. She nods. "You're supposed to be in bed" she says. I shrug. Later I go back in my room. I hear Maggie yell at Herschel on the verge of tears. I noticed that Andrea has heart eyes for Shane. I lay down looking at the ceiling. I remember what happened at the barn. I still feel numb about that and about shooting two guys. I mean I killed two living people. I have my duffle bag next to me. I sit up. I groan in pain. I still sit up, I grab my acoustic guitar and start playing it while singing.
(Song above as always)
I get so focused I don't notice Daryl, Glenn, Herschel, and Maggie outside the room listening. When I'm done I finally see them. I feel my face get warm. I've never been good with singing in front of crowds. I out my acoustic guitar away. They start applauding. After a bit they all leave.
