Her Strength His Weakness

Sickness and Health*

Amara'sPOV

Daryl and I awoke to shots being fired. We jumped out of bed pulling our boots on.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Walkers in D block." Jax said. "Alex and Amanda are in there."

Daryl and I took off running after Jax.

We entered and D block was in chaos.

We started checking for who had and hadn't been bit or scratched. Sending out the ones that were ok.

We found Alex helping a little boy who's mother had been bit.
"Alex get him out of here." I yelled.

Daryl and Jax were on the top floor checking those cells.
Dad and Ty were with me on the ground floor.

"Amanda?" I said. As I slowly approached her.

"Dont come close Amara." She said.

"I have to Amanda are you bit scratched?"

Looking closer I saw the bite on her arm.

"When did it happen?"

"A few minutes ago."

"Dad!" I yelled.

He came running."Amara you ok?"

"Amanda's bit on her arm happened a few minutes ago." I said.

"Alright let's do it." He grabbed his machete. "Daryl come hold her down."

"I'm sorry amanda we have to cut it off it might give you a chance." I said.

"Wait Amara." She moved her hair she had a smaller bite on her neck.

"Amanda No!" I cried.

"Its ok I'm not afraid." She said crying.
"You have to end it though dont let me turn."

"Amanda I'm so sorry." I said hugging her.

I held my gun up she looked at me smiled and closed her eyes.

"Daddy I can't."

I kissed her cheek and looked away.
Daryl hugged me as I cried onto his chest.
Dad pulled the trigger.

After everyone was killed or taken out.
We found Patrick dead in his cell.

"I think he just died." Glenn said.

"Horribly to pleurisy aspiration he choked on his own blood." Caleb said.
Caleb was a doctor that came from Woodbury.

"I saw this before on walkers outside the fences." Dad said.

"Is it a sickness from the walkers?" I asked.

No this has happened before all this is most like an aggressive strain of flu or pnemonia.

"Hell he was just eating barbecue yesterday." Daryl said.

"How do you die in a day just from a cold?" I asked.
