Redwood didn't waste any time with saying anything and bent down to tend to Riley's hoof. She pulled some bandages from her coat and managed to bind the wound and stop the bleeding.

 

"We gotta get y'all to a real doctor," she said as she picked Riley up and put her over her shoulder.

"It would be preferable yes..." Riley said gritting her teeth. "it hurts so much Red!" she whimpered. "there's a small settlement of three just up ahead off the highway... there's a doctor there... he normally stops by the bus every week or so... he knows me well he won't charge"

"Th only thing y'all can do is grit through it," said Redwood as she set off down the highway. 

 

Now that the more imminent danger of Riley bleeding out was gone, she still needed to worry about defending the two of them. Redwood would be seriously slowed down with Riley on her back, but she could at least use her .44 since she only needed one hoof to use it.

Riley's eyes drooped the threat of sleep an ever increasing factor despite Redwood's efforts Riley had lost too much blood to stay awake she kept thinking that she was seeing ponies run past them shooting at them, the bang from her .44 and her first kill rang continuously in her mind she kept flicking from Pre-war to Post-war upon the sight of a car or skeleton

"Y'know, back when ah was just nineteen, ah became a ranger out in th' NCR. Ah remember barely eight months in, mah unit got ambushed by raiders. We had to hole up in th' ruins of some old buildin', and it seemed like no matter how many we killed they just kept comin'. After maybe three hours of fightin', ah was th' only one still standin', but ah took two bullets right in th' leg."

 

It looked like RIley was going to pass out, so Redwood was trying whatever she could to keep her conscious.

"Leg... Bullet...Gun...Death...Family... Militia...avenge..." Riley kept on associating random words together, perhaps it was blood loss or maybe it was grief turning her wits... a group of slavers came at them Redwood could easily get away by leaving Riley as bait or she could stay and fight the slavers and risk them both becoming captives...

Redwood could hear the slavers approach, and ducked down behind the husk of a car. She set Riley down and took a grenade from under her coat with one hoof and drew Riley's .44 with the other. Normally, Redwood could have taken out the slavers no problem, but now she had Riley to worry about.

The slavers looked around. "you sure you saw the girl here?" One of them said doubting the one of the others. "positive! they have to be here somewhere..." they looked around for a while, Riley was trapped in the past remembering her dad driving her out of Miami and up to Orlando with her brother

Redwood stayed where she was, making sure to keep even her breathing quiet. If they came by her, she would be able to take out a few, but if she wanted to live through it, she would have to leave Riley vulnerable. With a little luck, the slavers would think that they were gone.

One of the slavers came over to Redwood and Riley "HEY BOY'S I'VE FOUND THEM!" he exclaimed "they're behind this car!" the rest of them ran over and surrounded the mares Riley looked around and snapped out of her haze. "What? huh?!" she grabbed her Lever-action off Red's back and fired the remaining four bullets at the slavers but more kept coming

Redwood pulled the pin of the grenade and threw it, ducking back into cover before it had even landed. Every few seconds she would pop up and fire a round, then quickly duck back into cover. The situation wasn't good, as they were badly outnumbered and couldn't run thanks to Riley's injury.

Riley had an idea. using the butt of her gun as a club and her winged advantage she took to a few feet above the slavers and began beating them to death with the end of her Rifle until she was shot in the wing and sent crashing down onto a truck the slavers gathered around her trying to reach up

"RETREAT! RETREAT!" One of them yelled running off " THE GIRL'S NOT WORTH IT!" soon after they had all run off and Riley had seen why they had run off... in the distance was something large... on four legs...and had two other four legged things walking alongside it... Riley's vision adjusted... It was the doctor!

"Riley?!" the Doctor said using his Brahmin to climb onto the truck. "Riley look at me... I want you to remain calm... It's me the Doctor... I'm here to help." he began to patch up Riley's injuries "okay now this may hurt a little... just tell me about your happiest experience..." Riley began to talk. "Well it was back in 2076, I was sitting impatiently by the mailbox outside the house waiting for my approval letter to collage... then when the mailmare finally did arrive and I was accepted my Dad said he almost had to strap me down to stop me from taking the house to the moon..."

She was surprised that the doctor had been able to work that quickly. The wound on Riley's hoof was especially nasty, and if Redwood had to guess, it would have been at least a week or two before she was walking straight, but apparently it would be much sooner.

The two kept walking until a painted sign gave the direction to nrghtur (no right turn) off on a bridge across the highway, the bridge was quite fortified high walls off car parts and cement with a few turrets on top of each of them which were presumably scanning the surrounding areas for any slavers like the ones that attacked Riley and Redwood
