Beth woke up in a hospital bed; wires and tubes hooked up to her. She had such a massive migraine I t hurt to open her eyes. It her to think.
It hurt that there was a brochure on a table that said Grady Memorial Hospital.
She never made it out. They never saved her. She remembers them coming and Noah being taken back. The scissors going through dawns neck. The gunshot and the bullet that went through Beth's skull. As she remembered, the machines she was hooked up to started to go crazy mimicking her heart beat. Dr. Edwards came flying in as she started to pull the tubes out of her and rushed to put them back in.
When she calmed down he explained to her that she was found in the trunk of a car wrapped in a white sheet. It looked like a herd of walkers came through and before her group could put her in the grave that was dug five feet away. He told her she was perhaps the luckiest person alive. All she could respond with was a nods and teary eyes.
Three days later she left Grady in scrubs and bandages.
She found a small farmhouse off the beaten path a month later, and inside is what she believes saved her.
A small closet off the kitchen was being scratched at by a desperate walker. She quickly dispatched him and opened the closet door to find a black wolf, but a week old, huddled into the dead body of its mother.
She took the puppy out and held it for dear life as it scratched and whimpered. They stayed like that until the pup calmed down and slipped into a deep sleep.
The black wolf came to be Pax, a Latin word meaning peace, because that's what he brought her.
Over the next month she built a 10 foot wall around her acre wide small farm planting small trees and vines around it so one day it'd be better camouflaged. She tamed the gardens that were growing vegetables and fruit under the weeds and grass. Every once and a while she catch chickens and bring them back home to let them live in the barn. She'd find things like a huge black truck, exquisite furniture, and designer cloths and bring them back home as treats but she wasn't frugal. The things like warm military grade clothing, food, and weapons were her first priority.
She became so good at scavenging and farming food that the basement of her house was stocked with everything her and pax could possibly need to eat. Yeah
Beth found books on how to make your own solar panels and in ground green houses and made them. She slowly started to extend the walls so she had three acres instead of one.
Everything was perfect and the way she had dreamed since the beginning it would be. She had stopped surviving and started to thrive.
