The Girl with the Samurai Sword (The Walking Dead Fanfiction)

Chapter 11 The Evil Queen's Apple

I hold down Harley and find that his eyes are turning red - like they're sore or something.

"Have you eaten anything besides the canned food?" I ask him.

It took him time to answer but finally, he gave me one.

"Just......an....app.....le..." Harley replies.

He didn't have a clear response but he said 'apple'.

Back then when my Father was still alive, he'd take me to the forest so I would know how to survive (I was about 19)

He told me, always be careful when picking apples from trees in the forests because you never know if some creatures also fed on that apple.

Everything snapped back at me.

He had eaten an apple which was previously tasted by another animal or a poisonous animal laid its skin on it.

I NEVER KNEW HOW TO CURE THIS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE IS A CURE.

I felt so guilty of not knowing how to treat this thing.

It was about (well, to me it looked like) 5AM.

"Michonne, I think I have something that can treat him." Aysa told me.

I was surprised and I hoddled over to Aysa and asked her what it was.

"Remember the grocery store? When you saved me, I had a box of medicine. I think I can treat him with some antibiotics." Aysa informed me.

I was so relieved and I told her to take it out and try helping Harley.

She told me it was in the car, so I accompanied her to the vehicle to get the box.

"Mike, watch over André for me. Terry, go hit the creek and get some water. Greyson, you watch over him." I gave everyone their tasks and Aysa and I walked to the car.

Aysa pulled out her katana-machete, with a shiny blade and a sharp tip - it was a very good weapon of choice.

We heard something from the bushes and it emerged - it was a roamer. 3 actually, that were coming from different directions.

"I got 2 of them." Aysa told me bravely.

I pulled out my sword from my back and drew it straight in between the head. I kick it off and I pull out my sword.

When I pulled my sword out, I saw Aysa being grabbed by a roamer.

I couldn't just stab it in the head because I might hit Aysa.

So, using my learnings, I went beside them and I cut off the arms from the bottom, also cutting the head.

The head rolls down the ground. I didn't take the head out because it wouldn't even be able to kill me.

"Thanks...you've saved my life twice..." Aysa thanked me.

I pat her on her left shoulder and we continue walking down the forest to see my car.

Aysa runs ahead of me and grabs her kit, then runs back to me.

"I got it. You know, I kinda think of this thing Harley ate was the Evil Queen's Apple, because..." Aysa tells me but I cut her off.

HAHAHAHAHA. Seriously?! 'Evil Queen's Apple'?! Damn. That's some big fairytale problem.

"You have a very creative imagination...I give you that.." I tell her as she smiles...a bit...

To me, it was like...about 6AM when we finally arrived back to the camp.

Everyone was back there.

Terry was helping Harley drink water.

Mike was telling André one of his stupid, made-up stories about Terry fighting off a dragon.

And Greyson was watching over Harley as he was sleeping...not sure if he was sleeping.

"Greyson, get out of the way! Terry, go get some more water! Mike, open up my kit and grab me everything that I say." Aysa instructed them in a loud voice.

Mike gave Aysa somthing that was for the eyes. She dropped the liquid over his eyes.

She then took out a spoon, antibiotics and medicinal drugs.

In a couple of hours, Harley was totally relaxed, but his heartbeat rate was getting faster and faster until he passed out.
