The scar left by memories.

Part 8:farm

I have been bed ridden for 3 days as Hershel won't let me move, I've been bored out my mind and I'm running out of things to do like always, I'm just sat here staring at a book I've read a million times until someone knocks on the door and opens it.

It's Daryl.

"How ya feelin'?" He asks I look at him from my book with a smile "I'm feeling better then all the others days". He walks towards me "we are all outside eating if you wanna come and eat with us" he tells me, I fill with excitement as Ive been dying to move out this bed.

"Yes yes please" I say eagerly Daryl comes towards me and helps me out of bed, I'm taking it one step at a time as it is still a little sore to walk. We get outside and meet with the others "hello Ava how you feeling today?" Lori asks me, "im feeling fine thankyou".

We've been sat for at least a couple of minutes until Glenn comes over "hey. Where'd you go?" Lori asks Glenn "I'm here, I'm guys" Glenn says with a concerned look on his face, right there and then I knew something was up "so........the barns full of walkers" he said in a rush.

Everyone just stops and stares at Glenn just processing what he just said Daryl was ruffling my hair to make sure I was calm. "You cannot tell me your alright with this"Shane complains to Rick "no I'm not but where guests here. This ain't our land" he responds.

"God this is our lives man" Shane yells "lower your voice" Rick firmly. "We can't just sweep this under the rug" Andrea butts in, I don't like Andrea she's too stuck up and weird. "It ain't right not remotely" Shane carried on.

I just sit there watching them all debate things, I feel a little unsafe staying round a barn. "We either gotta go in there, we've gotta make this right or we've just gotta go" Shane still carries on. "Now we've been talking about fort benning for a while".

Why is dad...I I mean Shane so eager to go to fort benning, Rick shakes his head at Shane "we can't go" Rick proceeds, "why Rick? Why?". "Because my daughter is still out there" Carol butted in. "Okey. Okey I think it's time that we all start to just consider the other possibility" Shane yells starting to get angrier and more impatient.

We have been standing near the barn for ages now and my stomach is starting to throb from the pressure and I'm becoming to feel more uneasy "d-Daryl I can't stand no longer it hurts" I nudged him, he looks at me "alright alright" he responds picking me up and sitting me on a log behind everyone who's arguing.

"Shane we're not leaving Sophia behind" Ricks getting more irritated, "I'm close to finding this girl. I just found her damn doll 2 days ago!" Daryl interjects, "you found her doll, Daryl. That's what you did. You found a doll".

I just sit there watching them in pain and I'm finding myself feeling dizzy and light headed, I shuffle down to lay down abit "can you guys shut up please I-i can't.. I can't." Before I know it I black out.

Daryl runs to me unconscious on the floor, "hey hey Ava wake up! Wake up!" He yells. He turns to Shane "look what you've done asshole", he picks Ava up and runs to the house "Hershel!" Daryl yells. Hershel comes running out "what happened?" He asks "I I don't know she just passed out" he responds. Hershel takes Ava to the other room to check her.

                 ———-$———-

An hour is past and Ava is doing fine she was just dehydrated. "Maggie, hey Maggie just talk to me. Hey Maggie!" Glenn repeats walking after her "give me your hat" Maggie turns and demands "you said talk to you, I'm talking to you give me your hat" she carries on. Glenn gives Maggie his hat and she takes an egg and placed it in the hat and smashed it on Glenn's head.

"Why would you waste an egg like that" Glenn says in disgust, "I think it was rotten" Maggie says walking off.

"Does Shane think Sophia's dead?" Carl asks while he is doing work "Shane's just scared" Lori replies, "of the walkers in the barn?" "Yeah" Lori answers.

[avas pov]

Later on that day i was still bed resting and Shane came in to see me "Ava......" Shane sits next to me, I just look at him "yeah" I reply to him dryly as I don't trust him no more. "I'm sorry....im really sorry" he lets out with potty in his voice. I look at him tears filling my eyes "no sorry can fix how you treated me, you made me feel like a burden like I don't belong" I feel my face burn up and tears drop down my small cheeks.

"I know and I regret it bug I really do" Shane carried on using his soft voice and his loosened expression "I ain't just gonna forgive you on the spot, it don't work like that" there was a long pause "just.....just go please" I say looking away.

He stand there for a little while then proceeds to walk out the room.

[time skip]

I walked down to the barn where Daryl and Carol is, Daryl seems to be getting ready to leave.......again. "You can't"carol rushes "I'm fine" Daryl turns to look at her "Hershel said you need to heal" Carol then goes on. I walk towards them "Daryl you can't leave me what if you get hurt again and I'll lose you?" Daryl turns to look at me he walks towards me and gets to my level.

"I'm just trying to find Sophia as fast as I can, I ain't going no where I will be back" he reassured me "promise?" I hold my pinky out, he just looks at me confused "promise" I smile widely "can you learn sign language when you get back so you can communicate with me" I ask once more. He giggles a little "yes vi I will" I smile hardly able to keep my excitement in.

I watch as Daryl ride off on a horse hoping he will make it back.
