Aaron's Pov:
I could feel her heart pounding against my chest , my arms wrapped securely around her as I stroke her blood stained hair. " Why didn't you just listen to me" I grit, I should be angry at her but I can't not right now my eyes shift to Tommy or what was him. His feet are sliced off from the ankles and his head is in smushed pieces on the ground , I quickly glance away the sight too disturbing. She hasn't respond to me but she pulls away to face me , she looks like a rapid animal that lost all control.
Blood cemented into her skin , blood that's hers but mostly Tom's , I look her up and down scanning her for injuries. I can already see the bruises forming on her face , her lip cut and swollen and by the way she clutches her side there must be damage I can't see. "He tried .... I had to" she tries to explain but I get the impression by her ripped shirt and his belt buckle on the ground , my knuckles turn white from how hard my fists clench as anger and disgust washes over me . I promised her that I wouldn't let this happen and I couldn't stop it " It's okay , he deserved it. He hurt you and you were defending your self" I softly comfort her trying not to seem angry , I try meet her eye but her gaze is locked on Tommy.
She is no longer crying but her whole body shakes like a leaf in the wind, I find myself wanting her back in my arms to stop her from shivering. Instead I gently put my jacket on her as she sits there unmoving , I wish I could know what's going on inside her head . Suddenly she turns back to me she looks me up and down like I did before her doe eyes zero in on my forehead, I bring my hand up to touch my stinging cut that she caused , which reveals the blood on my fingers tips.
" I'm sorry , I -" I cut her off again "Let's not talk about that now , we need to get you back" I say as I go towards her and she flinches. I freeze as I remember our first interactions , it's like she is back to square one, all because of him. " Come on , Grimes" I say gently and she tries to get up but her legs buckle, I quickly catch her my arms wrapping around her waist to support her weight which isn't hard because she basically weighs nothing.
We start walking back through the trees but she stops " Carl , w-we need to find him" she says and I sigh , she is in no position to stay out here. " no , your Dad probably found him by now okay. You need to get back so Hershel can properly access your injuries and I promise as soon as your back I will go look for him myself" she sighs nodding in defeat , we walk for a while before we hear the growls of Walkers.
I hand her the kurki which is still stained red, she stares for a moment before placing it in its holster next to her gun that I also found discarded on the ground. I look around expecting to see maybe one or two Walkers but my breath leaves my body as I see a herd heading straight to us. " Grimes ..." she turns to me " Run" she breaths , I grab her arm as we run down the hill towards the farm. She grunts in pain " I-I can't " she says in agony , she must be really hurt.
Without hesitating I pick her up and continue running down the hill , I see blood seeping from her side and her head as her eyes flutter close. " Grimes stay with me now okay!" I shout desperately as I keep running , re- adjusting her in my arms. Her body goes limp , her head lolling to the side , " No no , Elodie !" My breaths quicken in panic as my grip tighten around her.
We reach the farm , my arms feeling numb from her dead weight , more walkers surround the farm as I see the barn up in flames. My whole world shattering around me , my home overrun. My family I see them by the house , my dad with a shotgun in hand , i sigh in relief to see them still unharmed but my gaze falls down to Grimes in my arms still unconsciousness but breathing.
My vision hazy as adrenaline pumps through my veins , I see the other in cars , shooting the walkers . More are coming closer , I put Grimes over my shoulder keeping one hand on her as I use the other to get out my gun shooting the ones that get close. I see the green car with Glenn hanging out the side window, " Glenn! Over Here !" I shout as I catch his attention.
The car reaches us and I bring Grimes back into my arms I open the door placing her in before jumping in myself , " Aaron, are you okay ?!" Mags asks me and I nod " Els , oh god , is she ..." Glenn says his voice breaking " No , she's unconscious and badly injured. Where's Dad ?!" I ask , we need to get her help I don't know how long she will stay breathing.
" He's by the house with the others" Mags replies , suddenly loads of Walkers surround the car banging on the windows. " oh my god, I can't get through!" The growling intensify's as I bring Grimes' head onto my lap , keeping her close. My fingers placed firmly on her neck checking her pulse " Head out" Glenn says " What !" Maggie snaps " Get off the farm now !" He replies his voice raised in panic. " Don't say that !" She argues her eyes filled with tears " Mags , the farms gone , it's lost !" I shout back my own tears fighting to fall.
" We can't leave the others !" She cries , " They will get out too , they have cars" I reply as she nods . Screaming in fear she drives the car through the bodies mowing down the walkers. I focus my eyes back on Grimes , not bearing to look at my home being destroyed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We got out of the woods and the sun is rising , just last morning I was sitting with Grimes socking up the sunrise now she is in my lap unconscious, beaten . The farm is gone and so might be the rest of the family. I was forever grateful for finding the Greene's , my life was finally worth living when they adopted me and now I may only have Maggie left.
I wasn't paying attention to her or Glenn as my fingers are still placed firmly to Grimes neck to reassure me she is still alive . The car stops and I see Glenn get out then get in the drivers seat , he turns to me " Is she still breathing?" the concern in his voice shakes me from my head. " y-yes yes she is" I stutter , as I push a strand of her hair off her face my hand lingering on her cheek. God what am I doing , my hands falls back as Ignore the feeling tugging at my chest . Then Glenn starts heading to the highway saying that's where the rest of them will be , I hope he's right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We turn in , the other cars joining us as we quickly get out , I pick Grimes back into my arms. I watch as Maggie hugs Beth and dad a solemn smile on my face. I then see Lori embracing Carl and Rick , I step forward " Rick" I say and they turn towards me " She's alive" I say as he takes her out of my arms as I feel the loss of her warmth " What happened" Lori asks and my I feel myself stiffen at the question " It was Tommy , he's dead now , she um .. she" I couldn't finish the sentence everyones eyes on me.
Carl hugs my legs " Thank you for keeping her alive" he says and I rub his back " Of course" I say as I go hug my family I bring a crying Beth into my arms as my dad gives me a nod before heading over to assess Grimes.
I look back over to them , unable to hear there conversation I see Rick's angered expression as Lori cries kissing her forehead. My dad steps forward " She will be alright her pulse is steady she will wake up anytime now , but we will need to find medical supplies to treat her injuries." I watch as Rick punches the side of the car in rage as Daryl tries to calm him down " I should of banished him when I had the chance now look what happened!" His pained voice shouts.
" she's going to be okay and that's what matters" carol says to him and he nods calming himself down
" Where's the rest of us ?" Daryl asks " We're the only ones who made it so far" Rick says. " Shane ?" Lori asks but Rick shakes his head. " Andrea?" Glenn says " We saw her go down" T- dog replies . " Patrica ?" I asks and Beth lets out a cry still in my arms " I was holding her hand and they just took her right ..." I bring her to my chest , " Jimmy, did you see Jimmy ?" She asks with an once of hope.
" He was in the RV it got overrun" Rick says solemnly and Beth cries louder I place my head on hers trying to comfort her , as my own sadness suffocates me , I will miss Patricia and Jimmy.
So much death but we are lucky so many of us are still alive and that we're together.
