The Dixons And Me - The Walking Dead FanFiction

Chapter Forty Nine

Sam's POV

When Merle told me fifteen, minutes, I didn't think he'd mean EXACTLY fifteen minutes.

But he did, so now I'm out of the building I was kept in, my eyes are wide in shock.

Everything looks normal.

There is rows of buildings, that I assume are used for housing and storage. There are famalies. Even a dog! Children are running around without a care in the world.

I notice a woman with blonde hair, talking to a dark skinned woman..She looks familiar. I don't know why. I'm tempted to go over but...Something is telling me not.

As I'm walking, she turns around and her eyes land on me and she gives me a confused look. She starts to walk over but Merle pulls me inside a building.

We walk up a set of stairs and walk down a corridor.

"Wait here." He tells me as he walks to the closest door I see and knocks on it.

He opens the door and it closes again.

I lean against the wall and sigh.

What is going on? I don't understand...Why am I here? Why couldn't Merle just leave me alone? Sure I'm happy to see him but...This isn't my home. This place doesn't feel right. I want to be home. With my family. I want my memory back.

I want Daryl.

I want Ellie.

I want...

Ariana...

I don't know why I had that dream about Beth, I don't feel that way about her...Even if I did I wouldn't want to put her in the position of choosing me or her Dad.

"Come on." Merle says walking over and putting his hand behind my back and pushing me forward gently.

When I walk inside the room, my eyes land on a man sat down at a table, the table filled with plates of food.

"Hello Sam." He smiles.

This man. I don't trust him.

I stare at him, he lets out a slight chuckle and stands up. He walks over to me and I walk backwards.

Merle gently pushes me forward again, and I don't know what to expect.

"Name's Phillip." He says holding his hand out for me to shake.

I slowly shake his hand and he smiles.

"You The Govoner?"

He laughs as he walks back to his chair and sits back down.

"That's what they're calling me now?"

He looks at me and spreads his arms out towards the table filled with food.

"Help yourself."

I nod my head slowly and study the plates, I grab an apple and a bottle of water and walk back towards Merle.

"So Sam, tell me. Do you have a group?"

"No...I did...But we all got seperated." I lie.

"Anyone you loved in that group?"

"I loved everyone as my family."

He nods his head and checks his watch.

"I have a meeting with someone in a few minutes, but I'm sure Merle will show you around, tell you everything you need to know. You're welcome to stay here Sam." Phillip...Or The Govoner says.

I nod my head and Merle opens the door and holds it open for me. As I'm about to leave, The Govoner's voice stops me.

"Oh and Sam?"

"Yeah?" I ask turning around.

He leans back in his chair and spreads his arms out.

"Welcome to Woodbury."
