The scar left by memories.

Part 13: why? Why?

I'm sat at the top of the stairs just infront of the cell that the prisoners are being held in, one of them is weird he keeps staring at me........stupid. I'm just swinging my legs back and forth looking at a flower I found outside earlier.

Glenn comes and sits next to me "Ava what ya doin'" he asks, I stay silent for a moment "hm im just looking at this flower I found....i might give it to Daryl" I respond. It was quiet for seconds with the background laughter fills the air "you should go and give it him, he'll love it" he reassures me.

I smile lightly at him and get up to walk towards him, I nudge his arm "Daryl" I say quietly and he turns to look down at me "what's up vi" he reply's ruffling my hair.

I hold up the flower to him with my small hands "here for you" i look at him with a soft smile and he forms a smile on his rough face "oh my thankyou little en" he says hugging me and taking the flower out my hands. He kneels to my level "we are all gonna do some jobs today, you wanna help?" I nod with a big smile.

Everyone was crowded in a circle discussing what we are doing "alr' we're gonna get the other car in" Rick explains "we'll park 'em in the west entry of the yard. "After that, we need to load up these corpses so we can burn em" Rick finishes, "gonna be a long day" t-dog adds.

"Where's Glenn and Maggie?" Daryl asks as we all walk outside "I dunno" I say as I hold Daryl's hand "there in the guard tower" Rick reply's "guard tower?" Daryl reply's in confusion as we get to the guard tower.

"Glenn! Maggie!" Daryl yells, st that moment Glenn comes out the tower topless with his pants half way down, at that moment Daryl covered my eyes with him hand. "Her what's up guys?" Glenn yells down "you coming" Daryl yells "what?" Glenn yells back "you comin'" everyone giggles at Glenn. "Yeah! I'll be right down!" At that moment Glenn and Maggie comes rushing out the tower.

Daryl turns to me at that moment "Ava I want you to sit at this tree with your book while we burn these bodies, I don't want you near the fire understand?" I nod at him as he walks away.

I look behind me and I see Hershel and some others outside, he seems to be getting better. But before I could greet them I heard yelling for infront I look and there is a bunch of walkers "walkers! Look out!" Someone yells, I stand up and run to Lori Carl and Maggie.

We make our way through cell block c and Lori stops in her steps "can you keep up?" Maggie asks "somethings not right" Lori says holding her stomach "are you bit?" I ask her in concern "no no no" she pauses for a second "I think the baby's coming" she says in a panic.

We get to this room where Lori layed down "we have to get back to our cell block to have Hershel help!" Lori says "we can't risk getting caught out there" Maggie responds "your gonna needs to give birth to this baby here" she adds. I sit next to Lori pulling her hair out her face "your okey Lori" I wisper, "Carl your gonna have to help me delievrr your brother or sister" Carl just nodded.

The room was filled with screams from Lori giving birth "Lori don't push—stop somethings wrong." Maggie rushes, I look at her "what's wrong mag?" I ask  "there's there's so much blood" Maggie says in fear "I know what this means, this baby isn't dying....you gotta cut me open" Lori says, "what? What no you'll die!" I say in distraught "no I can't", "you have to" "take carls knife" Lori says.

"Lori I ca"- Maggie gets interrupted "please Maggie please!" Lori butts in.  "Carl Ava coke here, I don't want you to be scared, okey?" She has both her hands on each of our cheeks "this is what I want, this is right" she explains.

I nod slowly with tears falling down my cheeks "I love you both okey?" Lori adds on "love you too" we say in sinc.

Minutes go by and the air is filled with baby cries, I stare at Lori's lifeless body wondering why another person has to go. "Come on Ava" Maggie says pulling me up from loris body. We make our way outside and I stand there with a blank face clearly upset by what just happened "where—where is she?" Rick asks in a shaky voice, he went to go in but Maggie stops him "Rick no".

Daryl runs up to me and hugs me and I cry in his arms "she-she just layed there lifeless Daryl, I-i couldn't help her" I cry harder "why Daryl why" I cry in his shoulder "shhhh it's alright baby girl" Daryl says ruffling my hair whilst picking me up.

"Oh, no. No" Rick cries "no. No oh no" his cries fill the air while he stammers and falls to the ground.
