[20] Begging for safety

Kaylee's pov

I sat on the edge of the couch while Glenn, Maggie and Rick discuss the situation that happened only a matter of minutes, my head was spinning and it felt as if I were going to throw up on the spot.

I just wanted Quinn to be here, I just wanted someone to care. I looked to Glenn and Maggie kinda like a brother and sister, their love was more like that, but I don't need siblings, or maybe I do. I sighed deeply as I placed my head in my hands, tears that brimmed my eyes now fell, landing on my knee.

"What are we supposed to do? Hide every knife in the house, every sharp object? She'll die out there before in here." I heard one of them mutter, which got me thinking. I stood up quietly and walked over to the, making sure I didn't allow the floor to creak.

When I got there, without hesitation I threw open the door and walked out, I still had my knife, axe and gun on me, that's all I need.

I got a couple stares from Rick's group but I brushed it off and went off into the distance, hoping they thought I was just going for a walk, but I wasn't. I'm leaving. I wandered off quite far away, I made it look like I was heading over to where Daryl stays but I wasn't. I went into the forest without a second thought.

The trees clouded the sun, making a slight chill run through, my shoulders shook. I stepped over fallen down trees, dead leaves and sticks, they cracked underneath me.

I was on my own. And no one knows. I left it all, that's the end of Kaylee. For now at least.

I found myself waking up in some odd cave, a fire was lit, rain outside was pouring down the cave, making a splashing sound. I rubbed my eyes and looked around to see two people sitting down, one asleep and ye other looking at the fire. I backed up to the wall of the cave immediately, reaching for my knife that was still there oddly.

I held it up high as the man out his hands in front of him springing forward but not attacking.

"Hey, look it's okay. We're not gonna hurt you." The man with dark brown hair said, I looked to his left and saw the women was awake now and aware of her surroundings.

"Sweetie we just wanted to help." Her voice was reassuring and calming. I breathed heavily as a pain in my lower leg came, dropping my knife I grabbed my leg quickly, the pain unbearable now.

"Dammit." The man said, reaching into his bag and getting some medical supplies to treat my leg. He went towards it with caution, waiting for me to tell him to start helping, I gave a nod quite quickly.

He rolled my pant leg up and examined it for a minute before cleaning it and do some other things.

"It must have ripped open, Clarke get the stitches." The man said, using his head to gesture to the bag. The women named Clarke went into the back pack and grabbed a needle string and some more patches, handing them to him she came to my side and looked at me.

"It's gonna be alright, I promise." I didn't know these people, but my gut told me to trust them, so I did. I nodded, tears brimming my eyes, shutting them I tried desperately not to scream out as he stuck the needle into my leg. My lip quivered as he did it again, this time I let out a bloodcurdling scream. He has to do it again.

"Please don't." I begged, my cries were sons now, sweat beading of my forehead from the fire.

"It's only two more times, you can do it."

"No, no I can't. I'm not strong. I player off like I am b-"

"AHHHHHHH" he stuck the needle in, I was shaking all over, noticing I was holding the girls hand tightly I loosened the grip, but it tightened again when he stuck it in once more.

"Look, it's all done." The man said, ripping the piece off and putting the supplies back into his black backpack.

"How about you get some rest?" She said to me, playing with my long dark hair, making me feel comfortable. I nodded and lied my head in her lap, tears slipped out of my eyes and fell onto her pants.

"Who are you guys?" I asked, my voice cracking horribly as they came out.

"I'm Bellamy, that's Clarke." The man introduced them, I smiled for a second. Maybe they could come back, or maybe they won't have to know about the farm at all, than we could all live together, Quinn's gone, Luca is disappointed, so is a lot of them. They don't need me back there, Clarke Bellamy and I could start a life and they wouldn't even have to know.

"I'm Kaylee," I said, looking to Bellamy, his hair fell perfectly over his eyes, his jacket covered in dirt and dried blood, "can I stay with you?"

He nodded his head with a huge smile planted in his face, "of course" he said.

"We won't leave you." Clarke spoke up, stroking my hair smoothly as I lied there, my eyes slowly shutting as I drifted off into a deep sleep.
