Hayden POV
My heavy eyelids shot open, sweat falling from my forehead, Just being in Eric's presents for as long as I was,
It brought back the memories,
The memories of pain,
The memories of abuse,
The horrible memories,
Just my chest rising and falling was a challenge for me, the pain, just sitting up hurt,
"Whoa easy there princess," I hear Merle's voice,
I look in the direction to see him walking in, with a plate of I don't even know what, and water,
"Here let me help," He said helping me sit up at a better angle,
"Where's Daryl?" I said with a raspy voice,
"Out on a run with some other for food, need to keep yer strength up," He said
I chuckled which caused me to choke,
"Easy," He said
"Here eat," He said
He sat the plate in my lap,
"No thank you," I said
"Look I know it looks gross, but you need to keep your strength up, get back to full strength," He said
I looked down at my food in a daze,
When I finally spoke,
"Why did you do it?" I asked quietly
"Huh?" He said
I looked up at him,
"Why did you help me, you could have left me there," I said looking down,
I gripped the blanket with my fists,
"Why help me at all?" I asked
"Now come on princess, I may not be the most rational man, or mild mannered, but I wouldn't leave you with that bastard," He said
I finished eating, and drank my water,
We sat there and talked for a good few minutes,
That was until the pain started,
I started feeling so sick,
"Princess?" Merkel said
"G-Get me something I'm gonna be sick," I said
Merel rushed to get a can,
I ended up tossing everything that I just ate,
but there was a problem, there was blood in it, I was hunched over, the bed groaning in pain,
"Hey, Hey talking to me,
"Merle it hurts," I said holding my stomach,
"It hurts so bad!" I yelled,
Merle shot out of the room,
"Hershel get yer ass in here!" Merle yelled
Next thing I know I hear rushing footsteps seeing Hershel and Maggie rush in,
"What is it?" Hershel said walking towards me
"It hurts," I said clutching my stomach in pain I was almost in tears,
"Okay everyone out," Hershel said
He lifted my shirt after everyone left,
seeing massive bruising around my stomach,
He started feeling my stomach,
I was hissing in pain as he touched my stomach,
"What?" I asked,
"I'll be right back," He said
Daryl POV
I just got back from a run we got a pretty much food, I rushed to Hayden but I see Hershel, Merle and Maggie standing outside of where she's laying whispering,
"What's going on?" I said
"It looks like Hayden's injuries are worse than I thought," Hershel said
"What do you mean?" I said
"It look like she's has some internal bleeding," Hershel said sympathetically,
"What?" I said in shock
