A New World (A Walking Dead fanfic)

Taken (Part 2)

I began to move, not yet opening my eyes. I could tell that I no longer had the restraints on me. "Lilly?" I heard a soft voice call.

I slowly opened my eyes. Someone had their arms around me, that much I could tell. As my eyes began to focus, I could make out Glenn's face. "Glenn?" I asked weakly.

"I'm here Lilly," he said. I squinted my eyes, looking at his face. I put my hand on his right cheek, lightly rubbing the discolored spot with my thumb. He bit down on his lip and closed his eyes for a few seconds. "Oh my gosh. Glenn, what did they do to you?" I whispered

"It doesn't matter Lil. I just had to get in here. I have to protect you."

"How'd you even get in here?" I asked, my eyes fluttering.

"Don't you dare pass out again," Glenn said worriedly.  He applied more pressure to my arm. I winced in pain as I looked down to see Glenn's shirt pressed against my arm, absorbing the blood that was coming out of my arm. "Stay with my Lil," Glenn said, pulling me closer to him.

I looked around the room, something just suddenly clicking. "Where's Maggie?" I asked with a little big of concern in my voice as I sat up, immediately regretting it. I felt like I was going to throw up. I took a deep breath.

"Are you okay?" Glenn asked. "You probably shouldn't move a ton."

"Yeah, I'm fine," I said, sitting next to him and resting my head on his shoulder. "So, where is she?"

Just as he was about to answer, the door flew open, and Maggie was thrown to the ground, the door slammed shut and locked behind her.

"Maggie!" Glenn exclaimed. She sat up, her arms crossing her bare chest. "Did he..."

She shook her head. He pulled her close, and when she looked up, she caught my eye. "Lilly! Oh my gosh what happened?" she exclaimed as her eyes looked at Glenn's partially red shirt that was pressed against my arm.

"We need to get out of here. If we don't get out soon, Lilly could die," Glenn said as he ran a hand through his hair, struggling with a plan. Maggie and Glenn both came to sit down, Glenn placing himself in between us. I rested my head on his shoulder again as I began to drift off to sleep.

"Lilly!" I was being awakened by Glenn slightly shaking me. As I came to my senses, I could hear the sound of gunfire. We heard the sounds of footsteps drawing closer and faint voices as the other doors were being kicked in. We prepared for the worst. The door suddenly flew open. Uncle Rick, Daryl and the lady who had brought the formula came rushing in.

"Are you guys okay?" Uncle Rick asked us.

"Lilly's bleeding out in her left arm. We need to get her back to Hershel, quickly," Glenn said.

"Here, I'll take 'er," Daryl said as he swung his crossbow over his back. He picked me up and I wrapped my right arm around his neck while keeping my other arm pressed against my stomach with Glenn's shirt in between.

"Thank you," I smiled weakly to Daryl.

Uncle Rick glanced over to Maggie, unzipping his jacket and handing it to her. "Here, take this."

"Thank you," she smiled gratefully.

He gave her a short nod before directing his attention towards me. "Are you okay?" he asked, stopping Daryl for a second as we were heading out.

No. "Yeah," I replied, not wanting to tell him how bad the pain was nor the couple of times I had passed out.

"God, Lil I am so sorry," he said, shaking his head at himself.

"It ain't ya fault. It's mine," Daryl said.

"It's neither of your faults. None of us would have thought that would've happened. Now can you stop arguing?" I pleaded.

"Yeah, we gotta go," Uncle Rick said.

We all quickly rushed out of the room and were nearing the exit when the Governor and a couple of his men came around the corner. I felt Daryl's grip tighten on me. "Merle?" I heard Daryl gasp. Merle? Who the heck was that.

"Baby brother?" one of the men said, lowering his gun. One of hands was missing, replaced by some weird prosthetic with a knife on it. I looked really hard at him, and sure enough, the resemblance was there. This was Daryl's brother.

"Well isn't this just a happy reunion?" the Governor said with a smirk. "Too bad it's gonna be short lived." Then he quickly pulled a knife out and stabbed Merle in the gut.

"NO!" Daryl screamed, dropping me to the ground. I somehow kept my heading from hitting the ground, but still winced in pain as I struggled to breath after getting the wind knocked out of me.

"You said you killed Michonne! Liar!" he roared as he twisted the knife in deeper. Daryl swiftly grabbed his bow, but before he could get it loaded, a gun went off. I closed my eyes, preparing for the worst.

"Andrea?" I heard Michonne ask. I opened my eyes to see the blonde that I had just seen once before when I was here. The other man was dead beside Merle.

"Andrea, what the..." the Governor started before and arrow pierced the side of his head. He fell with a thud and Daryl immediately rushed to his brother's side.

"No! No!" he cried. Everyone stood there in shock at the events that had so quickly taken place.

"Rick?!" she asked, surprised, yet happy. She threw her arms around his neck. He hugged her back, his face confused.

"Lilly, are you okay?" Maggie asked, bending down next to me.

"Not particularly," I moaned.

"I'm so sorry that I dropped you," Daryl said, tearing his eyes away from his dead brother and slowly making his way back towards me. He bent down, picked me up again, and gently moved the few strands of hair that lingered in front of my eyes. I stared into his eyes that I usually found to be beautiful, but now, they were not the beautiful blue that I was use to seeing. His eyes were bloodshot.

"Daryl, it's okay. I'm not upset. Please, go be with your brother. You need to take him back to the prison. We need to bury him," I said weakly.

He just looked at me. "I just feel so bad for hurting you."

I gave a small smile and lifted my head slightly, planting a quick kiss on his cheek. I felt his body tense. "Thank you for coming to save me."

He cleared his throat awkwardly. "Uh yeah, of course."

"Here, I'll take her," Uncle Rick said, taking me from Daryl's arms. Daryl walked back over to his brother, taking the knife out of his stomach and hesitantly plunging it into his head. He threw the knife aside Glenn helped him with Merle, and then our small, broken group made our way outside. It was nearly dawn as we made our way through the gates. No one tried to stop us, and at the time, none of us really thought anything of it. I thought that maybe we'd just be walking all the way back, but we all stopped near a little dirt road not far from Woodbury.  I could barely make out two vehicles that were well hidden. After clearing everything out, Daryl and Glenn lifted Merle into the bed of the truck. Daryl jumped in with him. I sat up front with Uncle Rick and Michonne while the others got into the other vehicle. On the drive back, my eyes began to feel heavy, yet again from lack of sleep. I yawned, leaning my head on Uncle Rick's shoulder. Seconds later, I was out.

A/N: So, this concludes all from the past seasons! I will have times where Lilly will have flashbacks so everyone knows how things turned out since the Governor is dead now. My next chapter will start where Chapter 1 basically ended. Can't wait to get it up, and I hope I do soon! Just had Finals, so I had some time to write this weekend. FYI, MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH IN THE FINALE THIS SEASON . I don't think that I will have that written in time, but if I do, I will have a spoiler warning at the beginning of the chapter.
