[I][B]"Ok."[/B][/I] Joan replied, and she grit her teeth, more out of anger that the new girl and Josef could see tears in her eyes. So much had happened and the axe girl never really had the time to properly introduce herself. Though, it didn't really matter now... Death was coming for all of them and Joan was for certain now. She let her head fall back down onto the surprisingly soft bed and she just closed her eyes. Josef was already pressing the towels against Joan's bloody legs, but he couldn't exactly find the source of all the blood. He turned the side of her left shin over and there was a dark, blood covered mark in her flesh. He used the wet napkin to attempt to clean it and then he heard the voices - they all heard them.

[B]"Break down every door and make sure this place is empty."[/B] A raspy, masculine voice said somewhere not too far away from outside their motel door. The sound of doors busting open and being cracked in-two could be heard from outside their door and Josef just knew that their door would soon be next. [B]They had to fight.[/B] Josef lifted the his bat that he still managed to hold onto while he had been carrying Joan. He stood in front of the door and waited for the approaching footsteps.

Walking could be heard outside the door and the door almost burst open with a huge loud [B]CRACK.[/B] The door remained shut and then more voices could be heard on the outside. "Forget searching the rooms for now! There's a biter hoard, we have to take care of it!" The footsteps could be heard running away now.

Joan was sitting up now and she was looking down at her shin that Josef had wiped and she breathed heavily in relief to see that after the blood was wiped away, that it was only a reddish, purple bruise that was about six inches in length. Then Josef thought of something "I must've grazed your shin with my boot when I stomped down on that walker. It's ok Joan." He said with a intense feeling of relief that the blood was really the walker's blood who's head he had crushed. He fell down on the bed beside Joan and felt dizzy from all the adrenaline that was now subsiding. [B]"Are you ok?"[/B] he managed to ask the axe girl with a heavy breath.
