Merle's hidden Daughter

what if hope is dead?

I blinked letting my eyes a just to the light, I didn't look around. I knew I was dead, seeing bright lights and only clouds. No walker sounds, I couldn't hear my group either. What if they are dead to? I think to myself. What if I'm alive but they are all dead? What if hope is a pipe dream? I stop thinking and look over next to me.

There was rope tied with cans on it, I was in the woods. How the hell did I get here?! What if those bastards still have me? I look to the other side quickly after hearing a twig snap. Carl and rick both walked into the camp type thing. I guess they didn't realize I was up. Was I up? What if this is what its like to be a walker? I know Jenner said that you have no memory but what if you do? What if you are still you but you watch as a monster takes over your body and eats innocent people? What makes me want to cry is uncle Daryl walks in next, I didn't just want to cry for him, but for my dad to. I did t think uncle was still alive, or holding himself together. I sat up.

I reached my hands out trying to get there attention, my thraot was to dry to make any other sound other than a gurggle of some sort. When the noise passed my lips everyone had their weapons pointed at me. But it looked like they thought that it was a walker. Rick dropped his, Carl threw his, and uncle Daryl started to whimper. What the hell is wrong with them? I ask myself. I grabbed my throat and they went quiet, I motioned them closer and uncle Daryl was the first to take off towards me.

He hugged me tightly and I could feel his tears on my shoulder and I realized he was crying. I hugged him as hard as I could and I could feel my own tears. And I felt like hope still had a fighting chance in surviving this thing. Rick and Carl walked over slowly, uncle Daryl let go and I hugged rick. Carl had just stayed there as his father started to hug me. He let go and Carl hugged me. He started squeezing me really tight. I push him back because he was started to hurt me.

They handed me water and I drunk it really fast. At first the water burned, it was healing my super dry thraot. I felt like everything was going to be ok. I opened my mouth to thank them and nothing came out. "S-she can't talk!" Carl exclaimed. "No I need you to be able to talk. Tell me you like me to." Carl whimpers. Rick and uncle Daryl jog over. "Ok well give her some time. She learn how to talk to us anther way" rick sighs. I nod. "Go to sleep" uncle daryl says and kisses my head. I hadn't seen michonne, just then she came in and looked at me.
