Everything Changes (Sequel To Daryl's Girl)

Chapter 5

Lily's pov

The voices echoed through me but, still after what seemed like days, I couldn't wake up. Couldn't move. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't do it. Not on my own anyway.

I missed them all. If only I hadn't of left the church in the first place then non of this would be happening, but if I didn't then Daryl wouldn't have spotted the car that led us to Beth.

All my senses came alive as something warm touched my hand. Then a muffled voice. "Lily. It's..." The voice faded so I couldn't figure the rest of the sentence.

I could hear someone else entering the room as another left. Then the room went silent. Was I alone or was someone with me?

An hour, a day or even a month. I had no idea how long I was unable to move until I heard the door open and someone came in. I listened but there was nothing. Then the door opened once again.

I listened to the sound of people talking and just waiting for that final moment where I pass and turn into one of those things. The voices being the last thing I ever hear.

Suddenly I gained feeling in my fingers and managed to twitch them slightly. The mumbled voices became clear and I listened to what was going on before I moved again.

"Beth's already said everything, but it's all true. You can't control these people. If you could then non of it would've happened in the first place." A unfamiliar female voice was the first thing I heard.

Then it hit me. What if the Beth she's referring to was our Beth. I slowly turned my head but found it was much harder to open my eyes than I first thought.

I slowly opened my eyes to see two women stood to the one side of me. I turned my head to the other side and saw Beth. I opened my mouth but only a muffled sound came from my lips. "Beth?"

"Lily." She replied with a smile of relief.

"Where am I?" I shifted my position in the bed.

Before she could answer one of the women to the other side stepped in. "You're at Grady Memorial Hospital. This place saved you. I saved you. You owe us."

I looked at her and looked back at Beth. "No. She doesn't." The third woman snapped.

The two women stood staring at each other for a while as me and Beth watched. "Who do you think you are? Going against my orders. Again?" The other woman snarled and slowly turned around to walk out of the room leaving me Beth and the third woman.

"That's Dawn. She likes to think she has a hold over everyone." The other woman announced. "I'm Molly."

I glanced around the room slowly again and noticed Daryl wasn't there. Had they hit him to or did he get away? "Where's Daryl?" I felt my hert rate increase.

"You were alone when they bought you in." Molly comforted me. She was definitely sweeter than the other woman.

"Daryl?" Beth questioned. "He found you?"

"Yeah. We found everyone. After the prison when we all got seperated. I left with Tyreese, Lizzie, Mika and Judith until Carol tracked us down. She told us it was her. It was her who killed my dad and the others." I watched Beths face drop as I told her but continued with the story. "We found signs that lead to a place called Terminus, but things went from bad to worse. We stopped at a cabin for a couple of days but Lizzie wasn't all there. She killed her sister. We had to leave. We couldn't stay. Then we found out that everyone else had made it to Terminus but it wasn't all what it seemed. Carol helped me get everyone out. But you weren't there. We kept walking and rescued a priest who took us to his church. I don't know what was going on with me, but I wanted to leave so I snuck out on my own. Daryl tracked me down and then he saw a car and we followed. We tried to find you but it wasn't until we met this boy that we knew where you were." I recalled.
