Savior in a Leather Vest

He Saved Me

I'm running all I can do is run, tears escape my eyes. All of my clothes were ripped showing way to much of my pale dirty skin, I was wearing a tank top which was ripped down my stomach and my back. I wasn't wearing any pants just boy-shorts. I had to get away, I had to get away, I thought over and over again. I was with this group of people to survive always to survive but since I was the only woman out of the seven guys they decided I was their toy all of them did. None of them showed any mercy, whenever they wanted me over and over again, day after day. I finally got away but with no weapons and with barely any clothes on my back. I might as well just killed myself.
   I trip and fall on the ground feeling pain shoot up my ankle and I felt warm liquid in my dark brown hair, as I feel it burn. I turned around to see a biter (at least that's what my group called them) coming after me looking at me as if I'm his next meal. I back up as fast as I can until my back hits the tree behind me. I'm going to die this is how it ends. Never thought I'd be eaten alive until this whole thing started. I close my eyes waiting for the pain to come, waiting for death to come, praying it will be fast, I don't really know who I'm Praying to, God can't be real after all of this. That's when I heard a thud. I slowly open my eyes to see a man with black hair and a crossbow save me. He was wearing a leather vest with angel wings. Maybe there is a God. He is stabbing the biter in the head.
   He step closer to me. "You Alright?" He asks with a southern accent. I nod yes shaking from the fear, not just because of the biter because of what he might do to me, I know I shouldn't think that way since he just saved my life, but after what I've been through, I don't know how I can trust anyone. "Can you stand?" He asks. I try to stand up but the pain from my ankle was to strong.
   I fall back down and shake my head no. He leans down and I flinch. "I won't hurt ya." I nod and believe him, he puts his crossbow on his back helps me up in one swift motion. I lean my head against his shoulder still shaking. "You don't need to be scared Its not after you no more" I nod closing my green eyes breathing him in, he smelled of cigarettes, motor oil and musk. Strangely I liked it, I feel safe. Safe with him. I look up at him, as he holds me, my eyes began to blur, I feel myself falling out of Consciousness. That's when everything went dark.
   I slowly wake up to two men talking, I look down to see I'm on a bed. How did I get here? "I'm telling you Daryl this girl was raped over and over again. I notice when I saw the blood running down her leg. I had to stitch her up. And she has scars all over her body looking like they came from a knife" So the man who saved my life name is Daryl and they know what happened to me. I was so embarrassed I don't really know why I am, since they did save me. "I'm going to find them" He looks pissed. I groan as I sit up. Daryl looks at me and leans against the wall. "You ok?" He looks at me with his blue eyes. I nod yes "Where am I?" I touch my head "why is my head killing me?" I ask him. "So it can speak." He says cockyly and continues. "We're at a farm miss. You cracked your head open when you fell. What's your name?" He asks. "Alex" I say shyly. "I'm Daryl. Do you remember where your old camp is?" He asks looking at me with a serious look. The older man walks out of the room seeming to give us space or to make me feel comfortable. I nod yes to his question "I'm not going back there" I plea, as tears begin falling from my eyes.
   He frowns. "You don't have to, but I do. What happened to you?" When he asks, I remain silent, not wanting to relive those moments. "You have to tell us eventually." Us he said us I'm going to have to tell more people then just him. "I... I... don't really want to talk about it. Not now" I close my eyes tighty. "I'm going to try to get some rest" He nods. "Hershel is somewhere in the house and I'll be outside, just holler if you need us" He starts to walk out. "Daryl!" He turns. "Thank you for saving me" He nods again before stepping out of the room.
