Sam's POV

Two Weeks Later

"Sam..."

I groggily open my eyes, to find that I'm in a dark room the only source of light comes from a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling.

I try to move but my arms and legs are bound by chains to the wall.

"Hey, Sam."

I turn my head slowly and see a figure sat down on a chair. I can't tell who it is the darkness of the room gives them a full body mask.

I watch as the figure slowly stands up and walks closer to me. Closer to the lit up area. My eyes go wide with fear at who I see.

Riley.

"Hello sweet heart." She smirks at me.

I struggle against the chains, but there's no point. She's here. She's back.

"I never did like you with your clothes on." She whispers as she reaches for a knife and proceeds to tear my shirt and watches it fall to the ground with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Mmm." She hums leaning in and leaving a trail of kisses on my neck

I try as hard as I can to push her off, but the chains prevent me from doing so.

"Get off of me." I growl gaining courage.

She quickly removes herself and cocks her head to the side and smirks. She whistles and a masked person walks in, dragging a beaten and bloody Beth behind them.

I feel myself becoming angry and my blood boils. Riley gently pulls Beth closer towards me. I watch with wide eyes as Riley kisses her passionatly...And then she pulls a gun out and without hesitating pulls the trigger.

I fall limp and my eyes water as Beth's blood pools around my feet.

"Oh dear. What a shame." Riley mocks and leaves the room.

I stare at Beth's lifeless body and feel my heart break. She was my everything. She was my world.

Beth's hand moves slightly and I gasp.

She's alive.

"Beth?" I whisper and she stirrs slightly.

A smile spreads across my face but as Beth slowly stands up, my heart beat quickens.

The smile falls as she turns around and instead of her green eyes, they have turned a dark grey colour and her face is pale. How is this possible?! She was shot in the head!

"No...No Beth! Beth!" I call out but she carries on staggering forward. "Babe it's me!" I cry.

She reaches me and she brings her hand out and grabs my face...But instead of ripping the flesh off of me she gently strokes my cheek.

"I'm sorry. I love you." She whispers before digging her fingers into my skin and ripping away the flesh from my face.

I scream out in pain as she bites down, and eats me alive.

I sit up quickly, my breathing heavy and sweat dripping down my face.

It was just a dream...

"Oh my God." Maggie says walking into the cell and wrapping her arms around me. I slowly hug her back and she pull away with a smile on her face.

"What's the matter?" I ask confused.

She sighs and sits down on the edge of the bed.

"You've been out for two weeks. Lots of people got sick..." She says slowly.

"What about about Ellie? Daryl? Merle? Ava? Beth?" I ask quickly.

"They are all fine...But." Maggie pauses and stands up slowly and places a hand on her forhead and sighs.

As I'm about to ask her what's wrong my body erupts in a fit of coughs. I gasp for air but all I seem to be able to do is cough, I cover my hand over my mouth and feel my head start to throb.

Maggie is by my side handing me a bottle of water which I manage to take from her and get a few sips.

I feel something wet and sticky on my hand, and have an odd taste in my mouth. Turning my hand over I gasp at what I see.

Blood.

"Maggie?" I croak out.

She smiles sadly at me and strokes my hair.

"You're sick too."

How can I be sick?! I've been knocked out for the past two weeks! I'm so confused.

"How..? How am I sick?!"

"When you passed out, that was the illness. To be honest...We thought you were dead...Everytime we'd mention it Beth would get angry...Kept saying you were alive. She was right."

Beth...

Where is she? I want to see her, but I don't want her to get ill...I hope she's okay.

"Where is she?"

"She's away from us, so she'll be okay." Maggie says before leaving my cell.

I slowly lay down and put my hands behind my hand and stare straight up. I miss Beth.

I can hardly sleep without her beside me. I hope I get better soon...I need Beth....

I want to marry her.

One day.
