                                             Hayden POV 


I must have lost consciousness because I'm pretty sure we were out of that hell hole, 

"Did you really have to attack me?" Daryl said 

"It worked didn't it?" Merle said 

My breathing was getting worse the adrenaline wearing off, 

"Yeah well now-" Daryl began, 

"Wait, Wait guys stop," I said 

"What is it?" Daryl said 

"Ju- Just let me sit down just for a few minutes," I mumbled barely getting the words out, 

"Hayden the longer it takes for us to get back, the worse yer goin to get," Daryl said 

"Just five minutes," I mumbled 

I couldn't look at them, because I was just too weak to even lift my head, 

They sat me against a tree, it hurt to even sit, I was in so much pain everywhere, 

It got quiet, my breathing was uneven and shallow, I could barely see, my vision was like when you take drugs and its blurry and kinda transparent and slow, 

My chin was to my chest, 

I started coughing, which caused me to wheeze, 

"Hey, Hey easy," Daryl said 

"I- I can't do this..." I said 

"Yes you can I seen how you were with yer old man, after everything now yer givin up?" Merle said 

"That was something completely different," I said with shallow breathing, 

"How?" Merle said 

"I was just proving a point," I said finally gathering enough strength to look up leaning the back of my head on the tree, 

"And what would that be?" Daryl said 

I blinked a few times, 

"That I'm no scared little girl anymore," I said 

"That he doesn't scare me, " I said it was taking all my strength to talk , 

"I know yer hurtin, but we need to move, we need to get you too the prison," Daryl said 

"Prison?" I asked 

"It's a long story, which I will tell you once we get you fixed up," He said as he wrapped my arm around his neck, on hand holding my wrist, while the other was on my side, 

Merle did the same on the other side of me, 

"Why the hell are you guys doing this? I am dead weight right now," I said 

"Watch yer mouth, hurt or not I'll kick yer ass for talkin like that," Daryl said 

"Really that's what yer worried about right now?" I asked as my head hung low as blood fell out of my mouth, 

"It's called care Hayden, seem familiar?" Merle said 

"Nope," I said weakly, 

"Well get used to it, I'm not givin, up on ya, and I'm most certainly not leaving you alone," Daryl said 

I started to lose my senses, 

"We need to hurry she's not looking good," I'm not really sure who said it, next thing I know everything went black, 


                                          Daryl POV 


She went limp, 

"Were not getting far with her passing out like this," Merle said 

I nodded, I took my crossbow off my back setting it on the ground, 

"Put her on my back," I said 

We both maneuvered her onto my back, her arms slung over my shoulders, putting my crossbow on her back, because frankly even though he's my brother, I don't trust him right now, 

Each of my hands on her thigh's keeping her on my back, her chin resting on my shoulder, 

"Okay, let's go," I said
