Chapter 43

Glenn's P.O.V~

"Ruby." I call as she twirls fearlessly through the sea of walkers.

The white of her dress so pristine against the greens and greys of her surrounding.

Her knife is slashing ferociously as she simultaneously shoots and stabs.

The walkers around her drop to the pavement like flies.

By the time she's finished dancing a pile of at least a hundred walkers is piled at her feet.

"Ruby." I call quietly.

She turns to me and her face is red with tears.

I keep walking slowly towards her, my arms stretched out, ready to comfort her.

She starts crying more heavily with every step.

"What's wrong?" I ask as she stops a few metres in front of me.

I keep walking towards her and she hangs her arms by her sides and sobs violently.

I'm nearly embracing her when she side steps me and gets behind me.

I turn around to ask her what's wrong only to be met with a knife to the temple.

As I fall I keep my eyes on her, my body twists to keep her in my sight as I fall.

She drops to the ground as I do, her bare knees smashing into the gravel of the road without care.

I lie in front of her limply, the only movement my body can enable is the rolling of my eyes.

I look to where we are and it doesn't seem familiar, there's a pileup of cars and a gravel road ahead of us, and to each side is forest, thick green and grey trees.

I look back at Ruby and notice her dress.

It's short and lacy, with long sleeves that go over her wrists.

She's in a wedding dress.

I look at her hands, which are covering her face whilst her body violently shakes from sobbing and she is wearing a beautiful gold ring.

Then I look down to my own limp body and can only see my arm, since my head wont move.

I'm in a dark black suit jacket and on my outstretched hand is a simple gold band.

I go to look back up at Ruby when my reflection catches my eye.

On the ground next to Ruby is a broken car side view mirror, and its pointed at me.

Or what has become of me.

My neck is nearly severed from a grotesquely large walker bite and my skin is saggy and grey.

My face looks like it could fall off any minute and my white collared shirt is splattered with red stains from my neck wound.

I'm a walker.

I hear a high pitched noise and Ruby pounces on me, screaming and shaking.

Then I wake up.

---------------------------------------------

"Glenn! Glenn!" Ruby says, shaking me.

"What is it?" I ask groggily.

"The baby's kicking!" She says grabbing my hand and pressing it to her nightgown.

I tenderly place my palm flat to her tightening stomach and feel soft jabs from my growing baby's feet.

"Wow! That's amazing!" I say as I start to feel awake.

"I know! It's so cool!" She exclaims happily, holding her hand over mine.

I look up and she's already there, staring into my eyes as I lay down on our bed.

She's kneeling over me, her back arched to push her stomach forward.

She looks so beautiful with her hair twirling down her face and her eyes bright and happy.

Last night we talked until she fell asleep and she told me all the memories she has of me now.

"Max! Max! Quick come here!" She calls, turning her head over to his bed.

He rolls over to face her in turn and groans.

"What?"

"Your great niece or nephew is kicking and I wanted to ask if you wanted to feel?" She says nonchalantly, still holding our hands to her stomach.

Her other hand starts to trace patterns into my arm, her fingertips reverberating shockwaves throughout my body.

"This is amazing." I whisper.

"Hey Glenn?" She whispers back.

"Yeah?" I say, relaxing under the touch of her hands.

"I remember something." She says shyly.

"What is it?" I ask.

"I love you." She says as her palm curls around my elbow and pulls me toward her.

She pulls me so close that our noses are touching, and just stares at me for a while.

"Did you know that you're gorgeous?" She whispers as her eyes stare into my own.

"Did you know that you were?" I say back before kissing her intensely.

"You guys do know that I was about to come pat the baby?" Max says from beside us and I feel Ruby cringe.

"Uh yeah sure Max she says as she pulls away from me.

He holds his hand out and she puts it onto her stomach, supposedly to where the baby is active.

"Can you feel it?" She asks quietly.

"Yeah! Yeah!" Max says as he stares into space.

"You're going to be an uncle!" I interject happily.

Max turns and hugs Ruby's stomach tenderly.

"I love you." He says into her tiny belly.

Ruby grabs my hand an looks at me happily and I get the feeling that the whole world is good.

A/N~

Hey guys! Thanks so much for reading Safe!

In Glenn's dream he and Ruby are wearing these outfits cause they're super cute.

By the way this chapter is dedicated to Tyreese, may he rest in peace.

I really don't think I could watch the show if Glenn dies, I mean he's my fave and they may have swapped Andrea for him.

Plus he's part of the originals so they can't kill him... Can they?

Anyway favourite and comment as much as you like but know that you guys are amazing!.
