The Dixons Rises

Chapter 11

The Cold That Causes Death

*April's P.O.V*

I heard a scream and I immediately shot up and ran outside to see what happened.

There it was Patrick laying on the ground, but he's not himself.

"He got a cold," someone said I couldn't really make out. I was too shock.

Suddenly I feel like my throat is dry and itchy so I coughed.

Ella stare at me worried, "Did you get it too?" she questioned.

I raised an eyebrow, "Get what?" I asked.

"A cold?" she stated. I was about to answer but it came out as a cough.

"Shit," Daryl muttered.

I bit my lip, "All the sick needs to be separated," Rick said.

They all had a meeting or so whatever but I'm worried for myself. What if I die? It's pretty damn stupid dying because of a cold.

I was told to stay at a room full of sick people there.

A good thing is that I have my own cell. I locked it just to make sure.

I sneezed, "Ah shit," I muttered.

A shadow blocked the light from outside and I turned to see Hershel.

"What are you doing here? You'll get sick," I stated and sneezed.

"Just checking, how do you feel?" he asked.

"Fantastic," I replied sarcastically.

"Do you feel like you're having a fever?" he asked again.

"Uh," I checked my forehead and boy it was hot.

"No," I lied.

"Come here lil Dixon," I rolled my eyes at the nickname as I approached the cell door. He put his hand on my forehead then put it down.

"Oh dear," he mumbled.

This is it, maybe I'm going to die because of a cold.

"Just take a lot of rest," he told me and I nodded as I went back to the bottom bunk.

***

I'm burning.

I felt so weak and hot but sometimes I feel cold. All I can do to not feeling the pain is to sleep.

And I can't sleep forever you know.

"Food!" someone shouted. I unlocked my cell door and went to take my food.

I took the tray to my cell and locked the door. Protection first, what if I changed and eat other people?

After I finished my food I went out and saw Lizzie. She seemed lonely so I approached her.

"Hey Lizzie, don't worry okay I know they are searching for the medicine," I smiled weakly and coughed even though I'm sweating hard.

"Y-yeah," she stuttered and stared at me who is keep on sweating.

"Are you okay? You looked like you can die anytime," well that wasn't helping.

"Oh um I'm having a fever, I'll go back to my cell so you won't get the fever from me," I excused and went back to my cell.

Just after I locked the cell door I dropped to the ground and fainted.

***

"Catch you're it!" I exclaimed as I ran laughing to the backyard.

Ella laughed as well as she ran following me. Then I kinda run into a rock and fell. My knee was bleeding so hard.

"Ella, my knee," I cried. She gasped as she helped me get up and we walked back inside the house.

I can tell that my dad would be very pissed off.

"Daryl!" Ella whisper/yell. Daryl came to view and saw my knee.

He went somewhere and came back with a first aid kit. He started to clean my wound and I wince as I look somewhere else.

"That's all," Daryl said and I smiled as I hugged him.

"Thank you Dare," I grinned and just then the situation goes horrible.

"April!" I bit my lower lip as Ella and Daryl does the same.

"APRIL DO I NEED TO REPEAT MYSELF?!" he yelled out.

"It's okay," I told both of them as I went to the living room.

There he was standing arrogantly and he glared at me as I stood in front of him.

Isn't it sad, a four-year-old with apricot hair that was tied in pigtails and blue eyes that needs help was standing in front of her own father ready to get beaten up.

"You can never be grateful can't you?!" he hissed, he stepped forward and leaned down.

Then he pressed my wound and I let out silent tears. It really hurts.

"I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO LOOK AT ME SYMPATHY BECAUSE OF MY DAUGHTER IS WEAK!" he screamed.

He pushed me and I ran to me and Ella's room as I locked the door.

"April? It's me," Ella knocked on the door.

I wiped my tears and fake a huge grin as I unlocked the door, "You okay?" she asked worried.

"I'm fine," I lied still grinning.

"Well, okay," then she walked away and stopped, "You're a horrible liar April,"

***

BANG!

BANG!

I shot my eyes open as I fell to the ground.

BANG!

I stood up and unlocked my cell door as I ran to check what happened.

Walkers. The sick people has changed.

I took out my pocket knife as I helped to kill the walkers. Something slung onto me as I immediately turn around and stabbed its brain.

"Aaa!" I ran upstairs to see a walker approaching Lizzie. I killed the walker as something caught Lizzie's eyes.

She ran toward Glenn's cell and locked herself in it where a walker was in front of it.

"April kill it!" she screamed.

I was about to run there as a walker grabbed my foot and I fell as my pocket knife released from my hand and dropped downstairs.

It was trying to chop my foot as I held the head my my other free foot. I finally let go of my foot as I pushed the walker where it stumble backward.

It keeps on stepping forward and I crawled backward. I stabbed my hand in a piece of broken glass and I pick it up as I killed the walker with it.

Then Lizzie's scream brought me back to life as I went there and killed the walker.

Without realizing I used too many energy of mine until I had to sit down.

The next thing I know is that Hershel was standing and say something before I gone black.
