Chapter 2 -

Daryl's P.O.V -

Me and Glenn had just went on a run for Hershel, the man who owned the farm our group was staying at.

With our bags we trucked through the woods back to the farm when we heard rustling and saw a girl high up in the trees, sound asleep.

"Well damn, ain't seen somethin' like that before.", I told Glenn.

"What do we do? Try to get her down?", Glenn said back confused.

I circled the tree and looked up and just decided to Holler at her and see what happens.

When I called up to the girl she was so shocked and surprised she literally fell out of the tree, landing on the forest floor.
But what we didn't expect was the sharp crack we heard coming from her landing her ankle on a rock.

The girl who had fair skin, basically perfect, and long fire red hair and bright blue eyes, little freckles across her face like cinnamon, was screaming her head off from the pain of the horrible break of her ankle.

"Clam down girl! Ye' gonna call walkers from all around!", I yelled at her not knowing what to do.

The girl passed out in front of us, either from exhaustion or from the fall.
Hell I didn't know if the girl was dead.

Without discussing I told Glenn to grab the small black duffle on her back and I picked her up, she must've hardly weighted 100 pounds, and carried her in my arms, me and Glenn both running to the farm which wasn't but a few minutes away.

As we broke through the trees, now in view of the white farm house, I begun yelling for Hershel.

Maggie and Hershel, along with Rick and Lori, ran out to us.

"What the hell is this?", Rick yelled.

Hershel and Maggie took the girl inside as I talked to Rick.

"Well me and Glenn were walking back from town and saw the chick in the damn tree, I yelled to her and she fell! Broke her ankle I know but passed out.", I told Rick.

Rick just shook his head and went inside.

Violet's P.O.V -

I woke up in a strange bed, soaked in sweat and grime, a sharp pain shooting up from my ankle.

A kind looking old man tended my ankle and a girl about my age with short brown hair was fiddling with a IV stuck into my arm, pumping me with what look to be fluids.

"Pardon my French, but where the hell am I and why do I feel like I just got hit by a semi truck?", I said breaking the silence of the room.

The kind old man looked up at me and chuckled,
"Well young lady you fell from a tree and my friend Daryl and Glenn brought me to you. Your near dead of dehydration so My daughter Maggie here if filling you up with fluid. But you broke your ankle, luckily it will heal soon enough. What's your name?", the old kind man said.

I looked around and brushed my dirty hair back from my face and smiled,
"I'm Violet, it's a pleasure to meet some kind faces. Been alone for about 2 months. My last group... My last group didn't work out. Thank you for helping me.", I said politely.

Hershel nodded and left with Maggie, leaving me alone in the pretty room.

I noticed my duffle bag on the chair beside me and sighed with relief. Thank God what little I had was still with me.

A knock at the door brought my attention back and I yelled come in.

In came was a dirty man with brown hair and stunning blue eyes, the same one I saw before I passed out.

"Uh are ye okay?", the man said awkwardly, closing the door behind him.

Anger filled me.
"Your the asshole who scared me and made me fall from the tree!", I yelled.

The man looked surprised and anger filled his eyes.

"Well Ye the one who thought the bright idea of climbing up a tree and falling ASLEEP!", he yelled back.

I pounded my curled up fist on the bed,

"I didn't need saving! I was fine on my own! And look at me now, my damn ankle is broke!", I screamed.

The dirty redneck glared at me,

"I deserved a thank you for taking Ye sorry ass back here and saving Ye life!", he yelled storming out of the room.

I huffed and suddenly felt bad. The man had only saved me and did what was best. And he did save me. I could've died.

I looked at the window and laid backed down, sleep suddenly consuming me.
