One Last Try

Chapter 6: Enid and Glenn

Two months later, Megan got tired of just surviving off the stuff nearby. At this point, it's been 5 months since she left Alexandria. Megan uses the bag she took of that man two months back. She put all her supplies in it and headed off. She left at about mid noon and walked for miles until it was dark. She found an old broken up home and slept there for the night. For the next few nights, she did the same thing, walked for about 8 miles, and then found some place to stay. She did this for about a week, but she was running low on food. She had enough for one day. So she took her Kattana and waited in a tree until an animal walked by. She did this for three days. Two of those she went hungry, but finally I deer walked under the tree she was in and she jumped on it and stabbed the kattana right into the deers neck. She lit a low flame fire with a box of matches she had found in the first house. She was so hungry and in need of fresh food that she ate about 1/8th of the deer and turned the rest into Jerkey and put it into her bag. The next day, she was walking, and out of nowhere, a man came out behind her and shot her in the leg. She fell to the ground, her Kattana too far away to reach. They man yelled, "HAND OVER ANY WEPONS YOU HAVE!" As Megan quickly went to open her bag, she noticed this man also had a "W" on his forhead and the same bag that she took from the other man that she had killed. While she was rushing to grab her weapons to give the man, she noticed that he was distracted and used one of the guns in her bag to shoot him in the stomach and drop to the floor, in his pain she shot him in the head. Megan crawled over to grab her Kattana. And she flipped the man over, wincing with pain. She grabbed his bag and opened it. This one had more water and food, more medical tape, pain meds, a bandana, and a lighter. She took them all and put them in her bag, and used her remaining medical tape from the first man to rap up her leg. She took some of the pain meds with some water and used the bandana to cover her face. She saw an old church just down the road, so she limped down to it and pushed through the barricaded doors to get in. The second she got in, there were two people in there holding guns pointing at her. She dropped the bag in shock. It was Glenn and Enid. They didn't recognize her with the bandana on. "Who are you!?! We will shoot, " yelled Glenn. "Wait! Glenn, please don't shoot me!" I yelled back. They both looked at me with a puzzled look. I took my bandana off. "MEGAN!?!" Enid yelled as she ran to hug me. "Hey Enid.." I said. "Megan. It's really you? We all thought you died. It's been half a year." Glenn said, shocked. "Yeah, well, I almost just did," I said and referred to my ankle. "Holy crap what happened!?" Enid asked. "I got shot like 10 minutes ago," I told them. "So that's what we heard." Glenn said. "Megan, you have to come back with us." Glenn told me. "I don't know," I said. "You've been shot, you are coming," Enid said, interrupting me. "Well, actually, I was also shot like almost 3 months ago." Megan said. "Where?!" Glenn asked. "My shoulder." I told them. They gave a worried look. "You're coming," Enid said again. "I can't walk -" I said before Glenn interrupted me. "I will carry you," Glenn said. So he carried me about 12 miles back to Alexandria. "The walls are destroyed!?" We all said in unison. "Dad!?!" I say in a panic, hoping he's okay considering we see hundreds of walkers. We cover ourselves in guts, and they walk with me while I limp. We walk slowly through the crowd, and then I see Ron, I'm about to walk over to him, but I see him pointing a gun at Carl. I yell, "Carl! Look out!" Ron in a panic shoots Carl in the face and then me in the stomach 4 times before he realizes that it's me, Michone rushes over and sees me on the ground, and Ron is holding the gun. She takes her Kattana and stabs Ron through the chest with it. She carries me to the medical station while Rick carries Carl, and Enid and Glenn follow. While Rick is freaking out and begging for them to save Carl be and the rest are shoved out so they can give Carl and I medical attention. About 4 days later, I wake up, "What happened?" I ask Denise. "You were shot 4 times in the stomach, and we also took care of your leg, and your shoulder never healed properly." Denise told me. "Wait! Where's Carl?" I ask, noticing he's not on the table. "He will be fine. He is back at his house with Rick. I can take you there. that's probably where Daryl is. " Denise tells me. "I can go on my own, but thank you, Denise," I tell her and head to The Grimes house. I get there, and I knock on the door. Rick answers. "Megan! We didn't know if you would make it, Denise said you were bleeding internally!" Rick said. "Is Carl here?" I ask. "Yeah, he's upstairs. Do you need help up the stairs?" Rick asks. "No, I'm fine. Is my dad here?" I ask, "no he left about an hour ago. He should be back soon." Rick told me as I thanked him and headed up the stairs. I knocked on the door.
