She could barely remember what things were like before the outbreak. She had vague memories of sunshine and flowers and friends laughing together. Everything seemed to be so long ago.
She couldn't remember anything from before she woke up in a vandalized apartment. She had stumbled across the room while franticly looking for the bathroom as a jolt of pain shot through her and she felt her stomach turn on her. The contents of her stomach barely made it to the toilet as she threw herself in through the door and she cried out in pain as wave after wave shot though her. She had no idea why she was in pain but soon discovered a gash in her side from an inch below her right breast and down to her hip. Her stomach turned over and over until nothing more than stomach acid filled the toilet bowl.
And then she passed out.
She awoke to find herself in a hospital bed and unable to move. Her head was pounding and her vision blurred but the pain was gone and for a brief moment she was able to relax. But that feeling quickly disappeared as she felt fear creep up on her as the restraints started feeling tighter and tighter around her. She gasped and strained to get loose but she couldn't. That's when she screamed.
Something slammed against the door to the room she was in and she immediately went quiet. From the other side of the door noises of shuffling feet and the sounds of angry and aggressive moans as something slammed against the door over and over. She held her breath and stared at the door as if it was going to magically disappear but the door wouldn't budge. She watched the door with frightened eyes and couldn't help but stop breathing completely as she heard and saw the rattling of the door handle. The door handle wouldn't budge but even though she realized she was locked in the room, the very thought of finding out what was on the other side of the door frightened her even more. Her body tensed and she couldn't help but close her eyes and steady herself by taking slow deep breaths letting her lungs fill with air to the point where it started feeling uncomfortable before releasing.
How long she had been lying in the bed she didn't know. All she could feel was the hunger becoming more and more unbearable and the room smelling worse and worse as day became night and night became day. Where was she? Why was she there? Why had she been tied up?
She spent her days crying out for help but all she could hear was shuffling of feet and slamming against the door as she lay helpless on the bed. She was scared but unable to cry. She felt weak and unable to do anything about it she felt herself slipping away.
Rick Grimes and Shane Walsh had been friends for as long as they both could remember. To count the ways they were different would take a long time but nevertheless they had become friends and they had each others backs no matter what. Rick didn't like the thought of going into another hospital but they were running short of supplies and ever since they left Hershel Greene's farm they had been on the move for three months only stopping to pick up supplies when they were needed.
They had left soon after they had discovered the truth about why Hershel had been hiding the walkers in the barn. At first they had thought that he simply hoped for a cure that would turn his family and friends back to normal but that was proved wrong when the group discovered he was hiding the walkers in the barn. Glen had been the one to reveal the truth to them all and Shane had lost it. He had been against staying at the farm ever since they first set their feet there but because of Carl's condition they didn't have much of an option. But Carl pulled through but the joy of seeing the boy back up and about died with the revelation of what was in the barn.
Shane couldn't help but think back on the day where he broke open the doors to the barn and let the hungry walkers out into the sun. They had been shot dead one by one. He could still remember how silent they all became when the last walker had walked out from the shadows of the barn. Sophie.
Hershel had confessed to wanting to find out how long it would take the walkers before they died off. He kept them locked up and studied them. Little did he know that Otis' wife had decided to keep them all alive. Everyone had been shocked to see the girl walk out from the barn. They had expected the worst but who knew she'd be right under their noses. Everything went from bad to worse and they all decided that leaving was the best thing to do and they had been on the road ever since only stopping when they absolutely had to.
Rick and Shane slowly made their way in through the front doors of the hospital. They had left the vehicles on the outside of the town to avoid drawing the attention of the walkers that were still there. Not knowing how crowded the town was, they knew they took a chance by making a quick shopping trip but they needed the supplies. They made a quick sweep of the first floor of the hospital.
The hospital looked the same as every other hospital they had come across. Each floor showed signs of walkers either dead or… dead but they didn't see anything moving. They slowly made their way up the stairs to the third floor before they saw any sign of life. A group of five walkers were walking back and forth at the end of the corridor that lead to the medical storage room and Rick and Shane knew they had to take them down. However, all of a sudden they heard a scream and the walkers turned towards one of the doors leading to a patient's room.
Rick looked over at Shane and they slowly made their way over to the walkers as the screaming continued keeping the group distracted. They took them down one by one.
"Someone's in there," Rick stated in a hushed voice as he looked over at Shane.
"Let's just get what we came for," Shane replied dryly. "Whoever it is, it doesn't sound human."
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Rick stared at his friend in disbelief.
"I don't want to do this anymore, Rick," Shane stared at the door in front of them and kicked it in out of anger.
the girl on the bed glanced over at the door and stopped screaming as she heard gun shots. Biting her lip to quiet herself she stared at the door. As it flew open and the two men walked in guns raised she couldn't help but start screaming again. She was tired, so very tired. She looked over at the two men, stopped screaming and let her screaming lips be replaced by a weak smile before she closed her eyes.
Rick looked over at Shane in disbelief and he was met with the same face as Shane looked back at him.
