She's A Fighter

Chapter 17.

Amethyst's POV

I stopped my horse farther away from the gate and jumped off heading to the trees surrounding the prison. I readied my rifle feeling confident but cautious. I aimed for a walker heading towards the young girl and pulled the trigger. 'Who knew I would ever need the training dad gave me for this?' I thought to myself and positioning my rifle again. I kept shooting till most of the walkers went down. As I was shooting I ran out of ammo, and searched through my pocket for the box. When I opened the lid there was nothing but tiny grains of gun powder. I started freaking out and ran back to my horse with my rifle over my shoulder. I jumped on my horse and grabbed my compound bow and my arrows. I kicked my horse in the side making her move directly towards the prison gates. As she ran I readied my bow and aimed for the lock on the gate. In one second the lock broke, and the gate was quickly closed by two men in prison jumpsuits. "The hell are you doing here?!" One of them asked as i stopped my horse.

"My name is Amethyst, I know Zoe and I'm here to help!" I shouted. The prisoners exchanged a glance at each other then moved the gate to let me pass by. I heeled my horse again and she went sprinting into the courtyard. I took out my knife and leaped off my horse, running into the basketball courts. I sliced through walker skulls like there was no tomorrow. When the last walker went down I ran up to the fenced door that held the young girl and old man. "Is there anyone else that is being chased right now!?" I cried. The girl nodded and pointed at a prison door. I ran inside and followed the sound of moaning and screaming. When I turned the corner I saw a man being eaten by three walkers and I quickly took them out. The man was on the floor, tears rolling down his cheeks. I wiped them away and looked at his bites. There was no way he would make it and I held his hand, while humming a lullaby as he bled out on the ground. 

Zoe's POV 

I ran into the courtyard full of taken down walkers by Daryl's side. I could hear Rick crying when Carl and Maggie walked out without Lori. In Carl's arms was a bundle and I immediately put two and two together. I started crying and hugged Daryl tight. He rested his head on my and embraced me. The moment was interrupted by the prisoners who were locked up behind the gates. "Where's that girl who came in to help?" One asked scratching his head. "What Girl?" Daryl asked angrily grabbing one by the collar. "The girl who said she knew Zoe and was here to help." He answered a cold sweat running down his cheek. 'A girl? Oh shit it's Amethyst if she find Daryl I'm done for.' I thought to myself. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and heard a door open from behind me. I turned and there was Amethyst covered in light red blood, meaning she killed someone alive. She looked at me and nodded and turned her head to where Daryl was. Her eyes lit up and pooled with tears. 

"Daddy?" She said as Daryl turned to meet her gaze. His eyes filled up to the brim with tears. "Dad dad!!!" She cried running and jumping into his arms. Daryl fell to his knees and cried while holding Amethyst. My stomach turned as they hugged and my heart instantly broke at the site of how much he cared for her.
