Chapter 33

Glenn's P.O.V~

"Hey." I whisper as Ruby's eyes flutter open.

She opens her eyes properly and scrambles away from me.

"Who the hell are you?!" She screams.

"Calm down Ruby it's me." I reason with her whilst wondering what the hell she is doing.

"Help! Help!" She screams and all of a sudden she rolls off the other side of the bed and bolts for the door.

She rattles the door handle for second before it clicks and opens and she runs out, with me close at her heels.

"Help, Max where are you?!" She screams.

"Ruby calm down what are you doing?" I yell as she falls into Ricks trips and falls into Ricks arms.

"Please help me!" She says holding onto Rick.

He grabs her back and holds her protectively.

"Glenn what did you do?" He asks suspiciously.

"Nothing! She doesn't know who I am!" I yell as Rick turns Ruby around and looks her her in the eyes.

"Do you know who you are and what is going on?" He asks her.

"My name is Ruby, zombies have taken over and I look after my cousin Max. I remember waking up in a weird town and then I remember you rescuing me." She tells him.

"So you don't know who he is?" Rick says gesturing to me.

"No, where am I?" She says as she begins to cry softly.

She snuggles into Rick's chest and a pang of jealousy stabs my heart.

"Here, I'll take you to Max and explain what's happening now. Can Glenn cone with us because he has some important stuff to tell you?' Rick asks kindly.

"No, I need to talk to Max in private and I don't know who he is." She days as she looks at me with a mixture of fear and disgust.

"Glenn can you get Hershel? He needs to clarify some stuff for me." Rick asks as he picks Ruby up bridal style.

He turns to me.

"We can't have her walking with her leg stitched up and stuff." He says as he walks away.

Ruby's P.O.V~

The man who rescued me carries me up the stairs.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Rick Grimes." He replies.

"Why did you save me?"

"Because you are a valuable asset to our group and some of us could not bear to lose you."

"What's happening?" I ask, confused at the mans sentiment. I don't even know this group.

I can't remember anything past my parents death. I just know that this guy saved me, I can feel it in my mind. I passed out, me shin was hanging open and he caught me as I fell.

"Well I believe you have amnesia, you don't seem to remember anything." Rick tells me.

"Should I remember this place?" I ask as I look at the drab greyness of the cages.

"Yes, you've been living here for a while now." He replies as we reach the top of the stairs.

"Who was that creepy guy?"

"Would you believe me if I told you he was your boyfriend?"

"No! Ew why would I date him he's not my type!"
