18

A/N- hopefully this chapter will be A LOT longer bc a lot happens. Omg,
I saw this picture on a walking dead page on Facebook, and OMG I'll put it above I'm hella scared now 😭 I'm pretty sure it's for season 6 and I'm dying inside slowly dying.

Anywhoo

{Riley's P.O.V}

I heard someone say my name from behind me. I slowly turned and looked up. It was the girl I've been avoiding. Wait... That's my sister. Oh my gosh.

I thought she was dead, just like I thought the rest of my family was dead. I think it's just Reagan.
Anyway.
I was out on a walk with her, to catch up, and this car passed by, with a cross on it, just like the one Daryl mentioned. There was a car near us. Reagan knew how to drive so I knocked out the lights, and she jumped in the drivers while I jumped in the passengers and we followed it. All the way into the city. I tried to forget that I barely ate anything at the feast the night before and I was growing weaker. I had to stay strong, if it meant finding Beth. We finally had hope. We had parked the car right outside of the city, and run through it, looking for something with the initials GMH. We ran through the lobby of this building, and I froze. Causing Reagan to stop too.
Collin.
And then Daryl.
And the Carol.
Who just got hit by a car.

"Ok, well, uh- Noah. Do you know any ways to get in?" I asked.
"Um- kind of? But, that place is well guarded. If we're gonna get in we're gonna need a lot more people..."
He replied. "Some of us, should stay, and the others should go get the group." I suggested. "Yeah. Noah- uh- Tanner I guess, come with me. You 4, I know you can keep yourselves safe. I know a good place to hole up for the night. We'll meet you there tomorrow. If not tomorrow then the day after that." Daryl explained. Then he continued to give us directions to some Building they stayed in the night before. Telling us not to try to look for her until they get back. We confirmed and headed out separate ways.

{2 Days later}
I found my old best friend.
Her name is Rae.
It's not four of us anymore, it's five.
We found her alone in the city, Said she escaped Grady Memorial. That's what it's called. She said she knew Beth, Beth was there. She could help us get in when the rest of the group came back. Rae and I had been best friends since Kindergarten, and we were really close. "Water?" Rae smiled, handing us water bottles. "Thanks."
"How long has it been since you guys ate?" She asked.
Reagan and I exchanged nervous glances. I looked down. "Well, we had a nice big meal with our group, that was the most food we had in a while, but. Un Riley didn't eat that much and she's eaten less than all of us. She's getting weaker everyday." Reagan finally responded. I felt everyone's eyes on me as I started at the ground. "Why?" Most of them said in unison. "I- uh- I don't know, I guess I wasn't hungry.." I said, looking up, realizing everyone had stopped walking to look at me. Reagan knew the real reason, and in sure, deep down inside, Rae knew too. "Come on, we have to keep moving, Daryl said the place to meet him is just up here." I mumbled and continued walking. Up the street a little, I could see Daryl and the group. We ran up to them, it was only half the group. "Oh! Reagan! Riley! Why'd you leave? Next time please tell us!" Someone shouted. I didn't bother to figure out who, I didn't answer either. I was getting a little hungry.. More hungry... My stomach was hurting...

Rick told us the plan, he was meeting with two officers on top of this building, he would have some of us, the good shots -that would have counted me but no one was sure where my health was at the moment- He chosen Sasha, Tyreese -bob died- that's what I was told, Sasha was ready to kill anyone.- and a few others. He wanted Daryl, Glenn, Rae -Im not sure why he chose someone he's never even met yet, probably because she looks strong- and I to wait around the corner as extra backup. Everyone else was to stay in safety. Rae looked nervous. "You ok?" I asked, feeling her forehead. Her face was sort of red, but she wasn't to warm. "Yeah- it's just- uh- well these people, they're looking for me, and I escaped, it took me forever and i don't wanna go back." I nodded. "It's ok, we won't let them take you." I reassured her. We could hear Rick talking to the people. He ran back over to us. "Let's go," he started. "Don't fire unless I say so- I just need you guys to be there." I saw panic cross Rae's face for a split second, but she agreed, and we showed ourselves. While they talked, Rae stood behind me, so they couldn't see. We were near the edge of the roof, but not close enough to fall. I started thinking. Then something hit me. I completely forgot about someone.
Ever.
Holy sh-
My thoughts were cut off by a loud voice and a gun fire.
"Rae!" The lady said. She didn't want to hurt her. But the man did. He shot right at her. She landed next to the edge losing her balance and falling. I grabbed her wrist, while someone grabbed my feet so I didn't fall off with her. I was becoming weaker, and could barely hold on to her. A large group of walkers gathered below. I wasn't going to let go.
I couldn't.
"Riley, pull her up."
"Rick, she hasn't eaten - that much anyway - she's too weak. I don't think she can, she's barely keeping her up."
There was a sigh, it was a nervous-Scared mix.
"Someone help her-"
Rick was cut off by a gun shot.
I felt a sharp pain through my side.
I screamed in pain, losing my grip on Rae, as she fell to the ground, and was eaten, alive or not. I heard another loud bang, and felt another sharp pain in my side. I screamed even louder. It was a scream of, frustration and pain. She's gone. I just found her. Now she's gone. Again. I rolled over on my back, black dots were filling my vision. I was still screaming, occasionally I would stop and let out a yelp.
Everything went dark.

I'm awake.
I know I am because I feel like I'm laying in the back of a car, and the sharp pain in my side is still there -but worse. I forced my eyes open. Watching Rick hit a guy- the guy who shot Rae, and probably me too- with his car. And shoot him in the head, mumbling something about "all you had to do was stop."
He got back in the car, I didn't question what he did because I didn't really feel bad for the guy. "You're awake." He said putting his foot on the gas pedal. "Uh- yeah. Where is everyone?" I sputtered. "Don't worry, we all know what to do, stick with me, we're gonna get Beth back." I smiled. Finally.
After a short car ride, we met up with what part of the group was in Atlanta. I couldn't really walk, since my side hadn't been properly treated. Daryl offered to help me walk. Ever wasn't here, she must have been the half that got left behind. (I know Glenn didn't come with the first group he came with the second group just go with it ok😂)
I took a deep breath before walking up the stairs and into the building with the rest of the group.
Let's go get Beth back.

A/N- aye sorry it's kinda short but it's also long bc I always right like 7 page chapters and this is 1000 something words so😂 anyway, I'm announcing now that the THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE THE LAST CHAPTER. I'm really sorry.
