She had been about to tell him that she could handle things on her own. She didn't need backup and wouldn't accept it. It was too dangerous. This was a trap and she knew it. She also knew she had better chances of escaping than Elena and Stefan did, since they would always sacrifice for one another. But she stopped when Damon said he smelled someone.
Pulling the bow from behind her she pulled an arrow taut as she slowly approached the trees. She could feel Damon tense up beside her as they both heard something shaking in the trees. She held her breath as the culprit finally emerged. Just a walker shambling out from the wooded area, hungrily reaching for dinner.
Lucy let an arrow fly and hit the zombie square between the eyes. "Just a zombie," she said to Damon. But she had spoken too soon because a person an honest to God person came out after with his hands up.
"You're not going to shoot me, are you?" he asked.
"I don't know. Are you dangerous?" Lucy asked.
"Depends. Are you a firewall?" The guy laughed nervously. "Never mind. Nerd joke. Thanks for killing that zombie. He was following me."
