A few gun shots sound out, and i feel a hand around my arm. Once i look in the light, the bag now has fallen off of my head, I can see my dad guiding me and Rick guiding Glenn towards the exit.

Soon enough, we're out of the building and running towards the exit to the place we're at.

"Inside, quick!" Rick tells us as soon as we reach a building, yells, and gunshots sounding from all around.

Everyone's voices overlap as soon as we're inside, the main voice being ricks.

"How bad are you hurt?" He asks the both of us, mostly Glenn.

"I'll be alright." Glenn says, and I can't lie. He better be.

"Dad. It was merle. I'm not lying he was there. He had no hand, and it was definitely him." I tell my father, and he looks at the both of us for any sign of a lie.

"You got a clear view of his face?" Dad asks us, and we both nod. "So my brother is this govenor?" He asks, and I shake my head.

"No, he was someone else he was much worse." I state simply. "And I said it. I told him where the prison was. I'm sorry, but he was gonna kill Glenn and," i take a pause, "I'm sorry."

"No. There's no need to apologise." Rick taps my leg, and all of a sudden, a shoot of pain springs up my leg to my thigh.

"Shit." I groan and pull up my trouser leg. There's a bullet wound in my calf. When they were shooting their shots, they probably hit me, and I didn't notice at first. The adrenaline excludes the pain.

"Can you walk?" Rick asks me, and my dad leans in to see how bad it is.

"Yes, I'm sure I'll be fine." I groan slightly at the pain.

"No, you won't." Dad tells me before scooping me up like i weigh nothing and holding me in his arms.

"We need to go, c'mon..!" Rick urges us, and so my dad starts walking, me in his arms.

Rick starts shooting at people, s.oke rising around from one of ricks bombs.

All I can hear is gunshots and yelling, my senses overwhelmed with sounds and smells.

They all group together a plan, my dad setting me down on the floor. That's when it hits me. A wave of pain radiates throughout my whole body, the core of the pain being my stomach.

"Shit, they got me again." I groan, containing my pained screams.

This time, Rick picks me up, cradling me like I weigh nothing. My dad stays back to cover, but I just feel too weak. Pain is swaying throughout my whole existence, and it feels as if I'm drifting in and out of sleep.

"May you have to stay awake, okay?" Rick begs me, and I nod sleepily, forcing my eyes open.

As much as i try, I can't stay awake any longer, the pain growing more immense by the second.

So I don't. Instead, my vision turns black. i completely fade away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

My eyes flicker open, and immediately, I shoot up before collapsing again. I appear to be in a car, but I recognise it. It's one of our cars.

I tap on the window to get Glenn to let me out, but instead, another face meets mine. It is a black woman with dreadlocks and a katana?

The door opens, and immediately I pin her against the car, confused of who she is. My torso is screaming for help, but I just can't do anything about it.

"Who are you?" I ask her, and she squints at me.

"May, she's with us." Glenn tells me, and I slowly let go of the woman. only moments later, Rick's voice is heard from the woods and immediately turns to look, attempting to hobble towards the sound but collapsing before I can. Glenn goes to help me up, but I reassure him that it's fine. (It's definitely not fine).

"What the fuck is he doing here?!" I yell, taking out my knife as Glenn helps me stand, my uncles gaze meeting mine.

"Calm down!" Rick tells me, and I shake my head.

"He tried to kill us! He was gonna kill us!" I yell, and my dad looks at Merle.

"What? it was my job!?" He complains.

"She's a child!" My dad replies. "She's my child for fucks sake!"

everyone falls into argument and eventually, rick makes the wise decision of knocking merle out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while, we all have a conversation about whether To keep merle or not. my dad is the only one arguing that we should keep him.

"Do you really want him sleeping in the same cell block as Carol or Beth?" Glenn argues.

"He ain't a rapist." My dad argues.

"Well, his buddy is." Glenn argues and Dad looks at me sadly.

"Did he..?" Dad takes a pause for a breath, "did he do that?"

I nod slowly. "Yeah. Yeah, he did."

"Well, no merle then no me." My dad argues stubbornly. He's really gonna leave that easily after the hell we've just been through?

Then he just walks off, not a care in the world besides his brother. It's like I'm five again, and he's leaving me to my mother.

"Dad?" He hesitates for a moment at my word before continuing to walk, the damaged rocks and sticks underneath his feet crunching with every step that goes by.

Rick chases after him, the first excuse being, "You have a kid, daryl."

And then he says something i wish he never did. "Not my problem." There's a certain gruffness to his voice that tells me that he isn't lying. Not in the slightest. "Look, you take care of yourself, okay? And take care of her."

The thought crosses my mind that why the fuck doesn't he take care of me himself?
