Terminus

Anywhere (6)

I woke up to the bright sun shining threw the boards on the window, seemed everyone was still asleep so I wanted to leave it that way.

I got up and walked to the porch. I yawned a few times, making some weird noises as I did so.

I got off the porch and walked onto the train tracks that were in front of the house, I stuck my hand in my pockets. I suggested we started walking away from the tracks yesterday, we did a little then ended up back on them.

I looked around in the air and back down on the ground until a voice behind me made me jump.

"What are you doing?" Daryl, of course.

"Shit." I whispered. "Standing, is that okay with you?" I sarcastically remarked.

"Against the law ma'am. 'Friad I'm'a have to take ya in" He said acting like an officer.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Funny, maybe you can borrow that kids hat" I chuckled. 

"Haha, but if you don't mind me askin'. Why did you leave tha' group you were with so fast. Accordin' to Beth you seemed to like it there" Daryl asked with his country accent coming out every here and there.

"I did like it there, I really did, it's just Beth and Maggie are like family" I answered

"They ain't got shit on me, so I'm going to be just fin-" Daryl shushed me before I could finish my word.

"Wha-" He shushed me again and I rolled my eyes. He crouched down and pulled me on the porch, "They ain't got shit on you?" Daryl asked sarcastically as an army of men including Gareth in the front heading straight for us.

"Fuck, we gotta go" We ran inside, "Guys back up now, we gotta go!" I whisper yelled, everyone looked at me, a little shocked I spoke up.

"Gareth and his army are about 40 feet from this house! Lets go" Daryl added but louder. Everyone looked at each other and quickly began packing up before hearing an explosion, I moved the tattered curtains and looked to see they were too close for us to go out the front.

I was about to speak up before hearing a voice from outside.

"We have both the back down and front door covered Mariah so don't try anything dumb." Gareth spoke out. I grabbed the nearest item chunking it at the wall, Everyone looked off and an especially shitty face from Abraham. 

I was about to walk out the door because I didn't want them getting hurt, sadly. They are a good group, Daryl stuck his hand in front of me.

"What are you doing Mariah?" He asked with concern.

"Not letting you guys get hurt, try to get out of here" I said doubtfully.

"Even you know that's not gonna work" Beth spoke out to me.

"Guess I'll figure out."

I walked out ignoring the calls of my name by the group, I put my hands up.

"Good to see you Mariah." Gareth said sarcastically.

"You too. " I sarcastically said, crossing my arms, getting a little nervous with all them looking at me, his army and such.

"We're taking all of you, OUT NOW!" He yelled to the rest of them. 

No one came, I prayed to whatever god was left and hoped they got out.

"You have 10 seconds." He threatened. I looked at the door behind me and back at Gareth, I only looked at him with a smile.

"10"

"9"

"8"

"7"

"6"

"5"

"4"

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Shoot" Gareth exclaimed and I shot my head up a little too late. 

Everything seemed to be going in slow mo. I backed onto the wall with my head held up the my chest, the blood already seeping through, I looked in shock at Gareth.

The group, Rick, Daryl and the rest ran out to see me on the ground with a bullet wound in my chest. 

I lost the momentum and the pain hit me like a bus, Daryl was instantly by my side. Everyone was by my side now.

"Lets go" I managed to here Gareth say, "You get I'm serious now".

"You shot her you son of a bitch!" Daryl yelled. I saw little tears fall from Savannah's face. I gripped my chest in pain, already feeling pale.

"Pick her up" He yelled. Daryl tried picking me up bridal style but I screamed in pain, knowing it wasn't gonna work out. 

"Mariah, please hold on, Daryl has to pick you up"  Savannah said still sitting on the ground beside me.

I barely nodded, "I'm sorry" Daryl barely managed out. He picked me bridal style, listening to my pain but with no remorse.

He had too I get it, I groaned in pain alot while we walked knowing there was about 25 guns to our back. I readjusted my head on his chest feeling like I was about to fade away. My eyes started to close slowly, trying to let go. Daryl looked down

"You're not dying now, coz I don't want to hold a dead person" He tried to lighten the mood in the deadly silence, I gave a weak laugh with a little coughing at the end.

"Funny" I said with a weak voice. 

He smiled, and I gave something I called a smile and he chuckled at it. He looked back up focusing on the walk ahead of us. I tried to think about everything but the pain, I looked up at Daryl's sparkling blue eyes.

That surely kept my mind off the pain because soon enough we were sadly back. I was pried away from Daryl's arm and taken to some doctors room.

I faded in and out seeing nurses and doctors run to my aid to keep me alive. 

I finally was able to stay awake, seeing nothing but fuzziness for a while. I looked around the dim room with about 3 candles and no sunlight. I guessed it was night, then it all hit me. 

Where is Daryl?

Where is Savannah?

Where am I?

But mostly where is Gareth?

I clenched my fist and sat up, I groaned in pain looking at my now covered up wound. I stood up and attempted to the door when some nurse came in.

"Sit back down" the lady demanded.

"Who the fuck are you?" I demanded back not taking a step from my current position.

"Some one higher and able to shoot you.." She had a smirk on her face, "Again" I gave her my natural bitch face, and crossed my arms.

"I honestly wish you would." I gave a smirk right back. 

She pulled out a gun and I almost regretted it until someone came in shooting the woman in the back. I stared in shock, as the figure revealed to be Gareth.

He shot the door behind him and got down beside the woman picking up her by the hair, "Don't ever pull out a gun on someone so special Sarah." He growled and shot her in the head. I still didn't realize what just happened.

"Thanks." I backed up back on the bed as he came closer.

"Any time" He smiled.

"You didn't have to shoot me, jerk." I mummered.

"Sorry" He laughed, and now he stood directly in front of me.

"What now?" I responded still a bit in shock. 

"We kill them." He said calmly, walking towards me.

"Sounds good."
