Black Sheep - Rick Grimes x Male

Made to Suffer

Moon sat on a stack of suitcases, Maggie and Glenn were sitting against the wall. It was quiet in the cold room. They'd been there for hours, too lost in thought to speak. The whole time Moon thought of a way to get them out. His fingers were curled in his hair, elbow rested on his knees as stared at the ground. Lost deep in thought.

He could hardly feel his wounds anymore, it worried him a bit. Moon knew it wasn't anything serious because he could still feel the slight sting when he moved a certain way. He's always had a high pain tolerance.

"Maggie... did he..." Glenn broke their silence. "No. No. He barely touched me..."
The woman shook her head, looking at Glenn like he wouldn't believe her. He assured her, calming her fears by placing his hand over hers. "All this time running from walkers, you forget what people do, have always done. Look at what they did to you."

The three felt sick just thinking about it. "Doesn't matter. As long as he didn't." Glenn's mutter trailed off, unable to say it. "No. I promise." Maggie laid her head against his shoulder. Forcing herself to be okay. Even if it was just until they were safe.

Moon looked over when he heard Glenn groaning. The man stumbled his way to his feet, holding his bruised stomach. Glenn walked over to the walker, checking its pocket. When he found nothing, he knew what his last resort was.

Moon raised an eyebrow as Glenn started to rip the walker's arm off. Maggie stood up, walking closer in confusion. Glenn pulled the walker's bones from its arm, handing one to Maggie.

Moon walked over to them, his feet dragging. "I can't." He shook his head when Glenn tried to hand him a bloody bone. The man nodded realizing what Moon meant. "Just stay behind us, okay?" Maggie was serious as she looked at Moon. They were all prepared to fight for each other.

"Yes, ma'am." Moon agreed quickly, not wanting to hold them back. "They're coming." Glenn whispered, hearing footsteps near the door. "We've got this." Maggie spoke with determination, she was ready to go home.

When the door opened Glenn rushed out first, attacking Merle. Maggie stabbed a man in the neck, the gun in his hands went off. Seeing Merle on top of his brother, Moon did the only logical thing he could think of and tackled him away from Glenn.

He was hardly able to put Merle in a headlock before his cuts started to bleed again. Merle somehow kept his knife at Glenn's neck. "Let him go!" Maggie yelled, aiming the stolen gun at Merle. "Okay." Merle smirked just as a gun clicked behind Maggie.

Moon clamped his lips together, stopping himself from yelling as Merle pressed his fingers into the cuts, making him drop his hold. Merle stood up taking the gun from Maggie. "Get up!" Merle kicked Glenn in the stomach before doing the same to Moon making him cry out in pained surprise. Glenn got to his knees, grabbing Moon's arm to carefully pull him up.

"Glad we could catch up." Merle had them on their knees, side by side. "Just keep looking at me." Glenn mumbled, holding Maggie's hand. "I love you." A bag was placed over her head, then Glenn's, and lastly Moon's. "On your feet, let's go."

Moon walked slowly while being led out of the room. A short yell fell from his lips as he was knocked backward. He let himself lay there for a second, despite the commotion he could only hear. His small, short break was ripped away from him at the same time the bag was torn off his head.

Rick's eyes were zeroed in on Moon's. "I'm gonna cry." The short man spoke honestly, ready to be done with being brave. "Not now, come on." Rick forced him to snap out of it, pulling him up by his elbow. Moon bit his lip, moving his arm out from Rick's hold.

The group made their way outside, Rick again grabbed Moon, trying to help him run. He still hadn't realized he was grabbing open wounds. "Inside, quick." He rushed them into a building. "Rick, how did you find us?" Maggie asked as Moon and Glenn were sat next to each other.
