ELLIE WOKE WITH a start. The blood curdling screams rippling out around her tent caused goosebumps to shoot across her skin.
"Mom?" The young Dixon girl glanced around only to find the tent empty. "Mom..?"
Ellie grabbed her boots and yanked them on before rushing out of her tent. Instantly, she was hit with the metallic smell of blood all around her.
"Ellie!" Cidney Rees yelled to her thirteen year old as she ran towards her. "Ellie, get down!" She raised her gun and pulled the trigger as soon as the girl was out of the way.
Ellie pushed off the ground and ran into her mothers embrace. "Mom, what is going on?" She looked around wildly, tears of panic rimming her eyes.
"Walkers." That was all Cidney had to say for Ellie to grab for her own weapon.
A scream of pain rang out behind a fallen tree, one both Cidney and Ellie heard over all the other growls and cries.
"Is that Jannah?" Ellie panted out, looking for the woman who had been so close to her due date.
"God dammit." Cidney swore, checking her hand gun's ammunition and pulling her daughter with her towards the shouting.
As they rounded the unrooted tree, Cidney locked eyes with Elizabeth Whiting. She was a beautiful woman around the same age with long dark brown hair. Usually, her skin was a smooth fair color, but right now, it was covered in Jannah's blood.
"Cidney! I need your help!" Elizabeth called as soon as she saw her fellow nurse. "Jannah's baby is stuck and I can't grab it!"
Cidney sprinted over and dropped to her knees. As gently as she could, the Rees woman pressed against Jannah's swollen belly, trying to get any baring of where the baby could be.
Finally, after moving lower on her stomach, Jannah cried out and Cidney felt the lump the baby formed. Walkers perked up at the cries, but they were swiftly put down by Ellie's bullets.
"Momma! Help me!" A young boyish voice screamed out. Ellie whirled around, as well as Elizabeth, trying to pinpoint the location of the boy.
When she spotted her son, Elizabeth went to jump up, only for Cidney to grasp her arm. "No Liz, I need you here."
"But AJ-" The Whiting woman gasped before Ellie cut her off.
