The scar left by memories.

Part 6:highway

I just stand there staring at Daryl I can see the hurt in his face, I just felt guilty for saying it but it's want I want.

Before I knew it Daryl ran towards me and kneeled infront of me "nope not happening I ain't loosing ya" as he did I realised I couldn't hear him, my hearing aids has ran out.....great!

Daryl then picked me up and swung me on his shoulder, I struggled against his grib "let me go! Let me go!" I repeated but Daryl was adamant that I ain't staying. We got to the entrance and everyone was trying to break the glass but nothing was working.

"The glass won't break" Sophia said in worry. "Rick I have something that might help" Carol stepped forward, "Carol I don't think a nail file is gonna do it" Shane said harshly. Carol was rummaging through her bag and pulled out a ball looking thing, "your first morning at camp when I washed your uniform I found this in your pocket" Carol carried on.

As Rick went to the window everyone ran for cover, Daryl got behind a wall and layed me on the floor covering me with his body I had no idea what was happening as I could not hear a thing, and no one knows that. "Look out! Get down! Get down!"

Daryl picked me up once again and ran towards the car and covered me with his body again "wait wait wait" Rick said in a rush "there coming they got out" I looked up slightly seeing Andrea and Dale, "get down everybody get down!". When the CDC exploded we just looked at it all demolished with nothing left, I looked at Daryl and nudged him "my hearing aids died" I signed handing him hearing aids to keep safe.

He just looks at me so confused and I forgot he doesn't understand so I get my notepad and write it showing him it, look reads it and puts thumbs up to me.

                  ———$———-

We started driving about an hour and a half ago, I have been asleep with my head on Glenn's lap the whole ride as Daryl is on his bike we suddenly came to a stop I jolt my head up to see what's happening. It looks like the r.v has broken down......lovely.

We all get out the r.v and meet in a large circle...well not really large, "just a small matter of being stuck in the middle of nowhere with no hope of— okay that was dumb" Dale rambled. "If you can't find a radiator hose here there's a whole bunch a stuff we can find" t-dog said, "I'll siphon more fuel".

"Maybe some water or food" Lori said. Daryl stepped forward "guys we have a small problem, Ava's hearing aids have ran out of batteries so now she can't hear and we need to find her new ones"  I just see everyone looking at me and I have no clue what Daryl just said to them.

Rick walks towards me "we will find you some batteries just stick with Daryl or me for now got it?" He signs, I nod. We all spread out looking for things in the cars to see if there are any supplies I look in one car and see a small bag I grab it and open it, my eyes widen and a big smile grows across my face.....it's batteries for my hearing aids.

Before I could go tell Daryl Rick rushes towards me and pushes me under the cars. "Lori under the cars!" He crouches, I just see Carl and Sophia under the two cars next to me and Rick. Walkers walk past dragging their feet across the concrete I cover my mouth so I don't make any noise.

There was no more walkers walking past when Sophia stuck her head out from under the car and caught the attention of two walkers, she quickly got out from under the car and ran in the woods, the walkers behind her.

Rick rushed out from under the car we are in and ran after her ad we all go see what's happening "oh Lori there's two walkers after my baby" Carol cries and Lori holds her, I can't help but feel nervous about what might Happen. I walk towards Daryl and nudged him, he looked at me as I showed him the batteries I found he takes them and placed them in my hearing aids then puts them on my ears "can ya hear me kid?" A smile grew across my face as I hug Daryl "yes yesss" I said in excitement.

It grew night Rick had come back earlier but with no Sophia so they went back out to find her,I was laid in the r.v but I eventually fell asleep.

               ————$———

It is the next morning and everyone was getting ready to go look for Sophia, they was gathering weapons I was just infront of Daryl leant on his chest "everybody takes a weapon" Shane said, "these aren't the type of weapons we need, what about guns?" Andrea complained like she always does.

"We've been over that...... Daryl Rick and I are carrying we can't have people popping rounds every time a tree rustles" Shane carried on.

We was walking through the wood I stayed next to Daryl even though I would like to have my dad but he cares more about Carl....we came across a tent, everyone came to a halt "she could be in there" shane broke the silence "Carol call out softly your voice will be the one she would wan' hear".

"Sophia sweetie"

"Sophie it's mommy"

No response.

Daryl went in and confirmed it was just a guy who....opted out. We started  to walk again but not long after bells started to ring they was messing with my hearing aids making a stupid ringing noise.

We all run towards the noise but it didn't seem right there was no steeple " Rick it had no steeple" everyone was killing walkers in the inside and others stayed outside.

"It's on a god damn timer" Daryl said in annoyance. "Sophia cant have got this lost this fast" I butted in. Rick Shane and Carl was deciding to go look abit longer "can I go with them Daryl" he looked at me for abit then decided I could go "thankyou thankyou thankyou" I smiled and hugged him once again.

We had been walking for abit u tik we came across a deer me and Carl was slowly walking towards it admiring its beauty that was until we heard a gun shot Carl fell to the floor. But then quicker than a second later I felt this shooting pain in my stomach then next thing I know I black out.

"NO" Rick yells.
