Sami's P.O.V
I feel like every morning for the last week I've been waking up singing knowing that everyday might be the day that I see my brother again. I'm in the general area of where Jackson said he saw the group, I got here two days ago and I've been checking everywhere that I can. Today I am checking out a prison that is on the map. I haven't eaten in three days so I'm hoping that if my group isn't at the prison then at least it has some food and water for me. I've been doing so much scouting that mentally and physically I am exhausted.
"Alright, here we go." I take a deep breath as I start driving up the gravel path. It's clear that there's someone here, someone from the guard tower opened the first set of gates and then someone came running towards the car with a shotgun pointed at the car.
"Get out of the car slowly!" He yells. I turn the car off and get out with my hands up. I look at the guy holding a gun and my eyes instantly light up. He drops the gun in disbelief and goes pale like he just saw a ghost.
"Sami?" Shane whispers.
"Shane?!" I laugh as I run to him and hug him tightly.
"Sami?" I turn around and see Carl.
"Carl!" I cheer as I pull him into the hug.
"Why do you look so much older?!" I laugh. "Oh my gosh guys. I'm so happy to see you." I look at them and they both are clearly in shock.
"How are you alive?" Shane questions as Carl pokes me/
"I'm glad you see her too." Carl whispers.
"I don't know." I pull my pant leg up to show them the healed bite. "I'm not sure how it happened but I think that I'm immune to the virus?"
"I can't believe this." Carl laughs. "Everyone is going to freak!"
"I'm gonna pull the car up, into that lot okay?" I smile as I get back into the car. They run ahead of me and open the gates for me. As I pull up the car, Dean, Glenn, Rick, Daryl, and T-dogg come running outside.
"Bounty!" I hear Dean cheer. I park the car and quickly get out. They all stop dead in their tracks.
"How?" Glenn questions.
"But what?" Rick tries comprehending. I look at Daryl and he looks like his brain can't process this.
"There's no way!" T-dogg exclaims.
"Trust me I know." I laugh. I can't believe that I found them! "I don't know how or why but it healed and I never experienced any symptoms." I show them my leg.
"Maybe you're immune?" Shane questions and I nod.
"I think so." I smile.
"I'm so happy you're alive." Rick hugs me tightly.
"I am too." I smile as I hug him back. I hug everyone
Outside and I look at Daryl and his head is hung.
"Don't seem so happy to see me." I tease as I walk over to hug him. He takes a small step back.
"What's wrong?" I look at him.
"Sami." Dean sighs. "It's Zach."
"What about him?" I look at Dean.
"He passed away earlier today." Those words feel like a punch to the gut. I grab the closest railing to me as I feel my head start to spin.
"What? What happened?" I stutter with tears filling up my eyes.
"It was a walker." Rick sighs. "We were trying to clear out some more space in the prison and we were attacked and one grabbed him."
"Sami." Daryl steps towards me and I take a step back from him. I don't even want to look at him right now.
