Hope (Rick Grimes Fanfiction)

chapter 6

Rick's POV

As we entered to cell block D we saw people screaming and running away from walkers. How did that happened? I was screaming and asking everyone if they got bitten. The children's cry made me sick. I thought that it was safe here behind those walls. Now I get it. Nowhere is safe.

I gave my gun to a man and I started killing the walkers with my knife. I saw a walker coming to where a young boy was. I tried to reach them but Daryl got there first and saved the kid. I heard a screaming coming from behind me. I turned around and I saw a walker on top of Vivian. My heart started beating fast and I was full of anger and fear. Fear of losing her. I got there as fast as I could but another walker grabbed my leg and I fell. I kicked its head and Glenn smashed its head. I nodded as a thanks and I ran to Vivian. The walker was even closer to her neck. With my knife I stabbed it in the head and Vivian kicked it away from her.

Now all the screamings had stopped. The people were in the cells and the walkers were gone.
I looked at Vivian. "Are you okay? Are you bitten?" I asked her with a panic voice.

"I-I'm fine Rick" she said and started crying. I helped her stand up. "You sure?" I asked her. Suddenly she hugged me. She was shaking. It was the first time I saw her like that. "Th-Thank you R-Rick" she said and she passed out.

Vivian's POV

I woke up at my bed. I rubbed my eyes because I couldn't see really well due to the light. Hersel was standing next to me. "Oh, you're awake" he finally said. "How do you feel?"

"Much better than before. What happened? How did I end up here?"

"Somebody got sick and died and turned into a walker. We believe it's Patrick. He had blood on all over his face. We believe his illness came through the animals. You know how it goes. He killed others and they turned too. A walker was on top of you and Rick killed it. After that you passed out. He brought you here. I looked at you but there is nothing wrong with you. I gess you passed out because you were terrified. Rick said that you were shaking. It's okay, you don't have to feel bad."

"Thank you Hersel!" I was about to start crying again. Hersel was a really good man. Beth and Maggie are so lucky for having a father like him. I winked my eyes a lot to avoid crying. "So, is anyone else here sick?"

"We don't know if they're like Patrick but Karen and David are not feeling good. They'll stay in a different cell block untill they feel better or else."

"I see."

"You better stay in bed for a while. You are not that strong enough. Relax. Everything is fine now. You are safe."

"Thank you Hersel! For everything!"

"Well, I am not the one you have to thank. I am not the one who saved you" he said and he gave me a warm smile. "I better go now. I'll let you rest." I smiled to him and he left.

I lied on my bed. Hersel was right. I was feeling weak. That moment, when the walker attacked me, I thought that I would die. I have been attacked by walkers before but that time was different. I remembered the time when these people saved me. When they accepted me as a member of their family. These people gave me a chance and a reason to live. I didn't want to go. I wanted to keep fighting. I want to stay alive for as long as I can. I want to help them.

I closed my eyes and after a few minutes, I was sleeping.
