The Dixons And Me - The Walking Dead FanFiction

Chapter Seventy Two

Sam's POV

An Hour Later

"Well Sam, you never fail to impress me." Beth smirks as she slips her jeans on.

I cock my head to the side as I stand up and pull my shirt down and wrap my arms around her waist.

"Is that so?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

She nods her head once and leans in. I meet her half way and as our lips touch, sparks go off. It's like our first kiss everytime we kiss.

She pulls away slowly and I look deep into her eyes. They lock me in a trance and I feel myself falling for her all over again.

"Ahem."

A quiet cough at the door way makes us break apart, and Daryl is stood there with a smirk on his face.

I'm sure he was part of the group to go out on a run...They're back early...Something went wrong.

"Can I help you?" I ask crossing my arms and raising an eyebrow.

Daryl nods his head in the direction of Beth.

"Can I 'ave a word with ye?"

Beth gives him a confused look but walks out of the cell and follows Daryl. I sit down on the bed wondering what he's saying.

Lori walks in with Judith and sits down next to me.

"You seem happier."

"I'm not fully back to myself...But I'm slowly getting there." I smile and she hands me Judith.

I cradle the little thing in my arms. I can't believe how quick she's grown.

"Such a little angel." I coo and she giggles.

Someone walks past my cell and I notice it's Carol and she seems on edge.

"You alright Carol?" I ask handing Judith back to Lori.

Carol looks to me and shakes her head before her body shakes as she has a coughing fit.

I quickly hold her steady and bring her into my cell and sit her down on the bed.

I grab a spare bottle of water and hand it to her and she gently takes it a chugs it down.

She sighs and I notice her face is a very pale colour. I press my hand against her forhead and gasp.

"Jesus." I pause. "She's burning up."

"Carol, are you bit?" Lori asks and Carol shakes her head before her eyes  close and she falls limp on my bed.

I check for a pulse and there's one there, she's just passed out.

"I noticed a lot of people coughing lately, maybe there's a flu going around." Lori sighs and I nod my head in agreement.

Beth walks back in sadly, I wrap my arms around her and she sighs.

"Zach's dead."

I don't feel happy at all. Just because he was a dick and he basically stole my girl, doesn't mean I wanted him dead. But it was coming. He was weak, and weak people die.

Beth pulls away and looks at the sleeping Carol confused.

"What happend?"

"She passed out, me and Lori think there's a flu goin' around."

"Oh."

We can't stay in this cell, I don't want to disturb Carol.

"I'm sorry about Zach, honey." Lori smiles sadly. "But we all know that you and Sam belong together." Lori winks at us causing us to laugh.

"Yeah...She's my savior." I say looking into Beth's eyes and she looks away blushing.

Gun fire rings around the prison and I quickly run out of the cell grabbing my crossbow.

As I run outside to the courtyard, Rick, Merle, Daryl, Tyreese and Sasha are firing guns at walkers that are getting too close to a figure on the other side of the fence.

"GAVIN, STOP!" Rick yells shooting a walker in the head just as it's about to take a bite out of Gavin.

"WHY RICK?! RILEY WAS ALL I HAD!!" Gavin yells running towards a group of walkers that are quickly put down.

"GAVIN! YOU'LL BE OKAY!! I PROMISE!!" Ariana shouts running out of the prison and running up to the fence.

"I LOVED RILEY!! AND NOW SHE'S DEAD!!" Gavin yells as he runs up the fence and loops his fingers through the holes in the fence.

Ariana does the same and she starts to cry.

"You're like my brother, please don't do this." She begs.

"I have nothing left to live for."

"Do it for Riley!"

They exchange some more words, gun fire going off now and again to prevent walkers getting a bite out of him.

"RICK." Gavin yells causing Rick to snap his attention to Gavin. "OPEN THE GATE...PLEASE!" Gavin yells and I can actually feel the smile that Ari has on her face.

Everyone lowers their weapons as Gavin starts to walk to the gate, just as he's about to reach the gate that is is slowly opening a walker latches itself on to Gavin's neck taking a big chunk out of him.

His screams echo around, as do Ariana's cries.

I space out as the screams and gunfire rings in my ears.

I feel someone pull me away, but all I can see is Gavin being eaten alive...As more walkers join in on the feast until his body was swarmed with walkers.

My vision starts to go blurry and then everything goes dark...Beth's voice is the last thing that I can hear.

"You're alright Sam, I've got you."
