The Walking Love Story (The Walking Dead fanfic)

Chapter 47: Rest

RYANS POV

I flew toward the prison my foot pressed down on the gas peddle. I couldn't wait to see Riley she was finally back I was finally gonna see her again. Well since she left. I pulled up to the front gates. "Open up!" I hollered up the tower and the gates opened. I sped in little rocks flew from my tires as I drove up the driveway to the second gate. "Hey open this up." I hollered at one of those new guys David I think. He opened and closed the second gate for me and I drove down to the "garage". I backed the truck, out it in park and cut the engine. I jumped out of the car , slammed the door behind me and ran to the front main doors to the main cell block C. I pushed the heavy metal door open and it creaked loudly. I walked inside and left the door slam slightly behind me.

"Your back." Rick said

"Ya ya where's Riley?" I questioned

"Up in her cell." Rick said it was only him and I in the cell block.

"Thanks." I walked over to the stairs and climbed to the top before making my way over to Riley and Daryl's cell.

The black curtain that hung inside the door to the cell was closed blocking out the light. I pushed it back and stepped inside carefully. Riley was asleep on her bed. She was still clothed with her jacket and shoes. Her smooth silky hair was slightly tangled and laying messily across her pillow. I smiled at her tiny figure as she slept comfortably. I was fully inside her cell now, I walked over to her bed and pulled one of the blankets over her body. Her tiny hands made their way up to the blanket and gripped it pulling the blanket farther up on her body, she must have been cold. I chuckled at her, I bent down and kissed her cheek. As I was pulling away from her my eyes caught something. On her forehead was a large laceration it was up toward her hair line. She must have wiped the blood away so it wasn't noticeable. I knew she hadn't been to Hershel for her head. I stuck my arm underneath her back and the other under her legs and lifted her up. Her sleepy body layer in my arms, she moved in closer and her hands grabbed a little of my shirt. I walked out of her cell and down the stairs to Hershel's doctoring cell.

"Hershel?" I asked

"Yeah what you need Ryan, glad to see you back. What's wrong with Riley?" he asked

"She has a cut on her head and I didn't figure she would come and tell you or anyone about it."I said to Hershel

"Okay lay her down on the bed her and we'll wait until she wakes up before looking at that cut." Hershel said pulling back the sheets on the cell bed.

I laid her down carefully and covered her up. "Thanks Hershel god."

"Your welcome....shes a stubborn one isn't she." He said smiling

"Yeah that's for sure." I chuckled

"Hey it's good that she had a fire inside her and she's got fight in her and she's strong willed. She wants to live she's not giving up...like many have." Hershel said going back to his medicine

"Your right especially about the fire and fight in her. She's gonna stay alive I know it." I said

"You should get some rest I'll let you know when she wakes up. But you need to regain your strength you've been gone for awhile you. So go sleep you need it." Hershel said shooing me away and returning to his medicines.

I walked back to my cell pulled the curtain across to shut out the sun light. I flopped down on my bed kicked off my boots. I laid down on the pillow looking at the ceiling wondering what she has been through while she was gone and what happened to her before she found Rick and Daryl. How did she find them? What happened to her when the apocalypse hit and started? What did she do to survive in the beginning? My mind raced for an hour before sleep finally took over.
