I Love You Big Brother

I Don't Want To Die

Sophs pov
They were keeping us in a large open room which was filled with tables and chairs. Old people were all sat around chatting and playing card games. I had no idea what was going on. First they beat up my brother and kidnap me and Glenn but then they put us in a open room full of random people. Glenn was just as confused as I was. He said he was pretty sure we were in a recreational room of an old folks home, which would explain all the people around. Since the alley no one had made any attempt to hurt us but I still didn't trust anyone here, the door to the room was open but every time I tried to leave I was just pushed back inside.

Glenn was a lot more cooperative than I was. He just sat and chatted with the people while I kept pacing round the room chewing my thumbnail, which is something I picked up from Daryl, looking for a way to escape. Glenn was clearly a lot more trusting of people than I was, then again he didn't grow up the way I did. The only people I trust in this world are Merle and Daryl, not even Glenn, not fully anyway.

It had been about an hour since we'd been taken and I was getting more and more anxious by the second. What did they want from us? And more importantly, where the hell was my brother?

After a few more minutes two guys walked in the room holding guns. One of them pointed in the direction of me and Glenn and said sternly "you two come with us." Glenn went to walk towards them but I grabbed his arm to hold him back. "We ain't going nowhere until you tell us what the hell you want!" I growled at them which made them smile mockingly. "We don't have time for this." The other one said before they both came forward and pulled us out the room. I tried to resist but the guy holding me was much bigger and much stronger and his grip was like steel.

They tied our hands behind our backs, put tape over our mouths and then bags over our heads. My heart began to race as they began to guide us somewhere. Were they going to kill us? It's the only thing I could think of. I didn't want to die. Not anymore. "Glenn." I called out trying to hold back the tears not knowing if he was still with me. "I'm here." I heard his voice say from behind me. It comforted me slightly to know I wouldn't die alone and Glenn was my only friend. My only real friend. He was the only one to comfort me in the camp after I found out about Merle, he was the only one to treat me like a real person and not just a piece of 'redneck trash'.

They began to lead us up some stairs and after a while I heard a door open and a breeze hit my face, we must be outside. All I could think about was my brothers. Every argument. Every laugh. I didn't want to leave them. I began to struggle again but it was no use the guy was too strong. We were stood there for a few minutes and I was just anticipating the clicking sound of a gun being loaded but it never came. Then we heard a man yell. "Oye!"

After that the guy holding me began to pull me forward. I continued to struggle but then the bag was removed of my head. It took my eyes a second to adjust to the light. I could see Glenn was next to me with a terrified look on his face. I then realised we were on the edge of a roof. I screamed but it just came out as a muffled sound through the tape. I looked down to see a group of people looking up at us but my heart skipped a beat when I saw that one of them was Daryl. He was staring at me with worry all over his face.

After seeing him it made me struggle even more. I just wanted to be with him. He always made me feel safe. I began to kick and throw my body around to try and get free but stopped when the guy holding me hit me hard in the side and I cowered in pain. "Don't you fucking touch her!" I heard Daryl yell and saw he was aiming his crossbow in our direction. Glenn also yelled something but I couldn't tell what it was through the tape.

The group below continued talking but I couldn't make out what they were saying and after a few more moments the bags were put back over our heads. They guided us back in what felt like the way we came and then the bags were removed and our hand were untied. We were back in the same room. I quickly ripped the tape of my mouth, ignoring the pain, and turned to yell at the guys that were holding us but they were already gone.

"Hey are you okay?" Glenn asked walking over to me. "No I'm not. I thought they were gonna kill us." I replied trying to keep my voice steady. I didn't want to cry anymore. "Yeah me too." He replied looking just as shaken as I was. "I think Rick and Daryl were trying to make some kinda deal, I mean that's what it looked like." He continued, I didn't even see Rick there I was too focused on Daryl. I just nodded in response, I didn't really feel like talking so I went to walk away but Glenn gently grabbed my arm.

I turned and shot him glare but stopped when I realised he was only trying to be kind. "We're gonna be okay." He said softly smiling at me and pulled me into a hug. I tensed up at first, just like Merle did whenever I hugged him, but soon relaxed and hugged him back. We pulled away a few moments later and he went back to where he was sitting before. I was tempted to follow him but I still didn't trust any of the people here so I just went and sat in the corner on the floor away from everyone.

I just wanted my brothers. I wanted them to reassure me like they did everyday when we were with our father. I just wanted to be back on our dirty couch watching one of Merles weird movies on our crappy tv. I just wanted my brothers.

Sorry this is a short one but it's just sort of setting the scene for the next chapter. Xx
