I gasped and opened my eyes.
How the hell am I still alive?
I sat up and looked around and saw hundreds of walkers going towards the prison. I didn't see a living person anywhere. I slowly got up and gripped my side that screamed in pain. When I was up I lifted my shirt and saw blood on my side. I grabbed my wound and started limping towards the prison. On my clothes there was blood, human and walker. If I could make it back into the prison, I can stitch my wound and get out of here and find my dad, brother, sister, and Daryl.
I stopped when I saw a torn up body and looked at the face of the Governor.
"You deserve it you piece of shit." I mumbled before continuing.
I finally made it to the courtyard without a walker spotting me and passed the smoking tank and to the door to C block. I pulled the door open and went inside. I walked to Daryl and I's cell and sat on the bed before breaking into tears. After I had my cry I found the first aid kit under the bed. I grabbed a cloth, hydrogen peroxide, a needle, and some thread.
I cleaned the cut with great difficulty and pain and I was trying to get the thread through the needle.
"Dammit!" I yelled in frustration.
"Who's there?" I heard from outside the cell and I stood up.
I know that voice.
I ran out of the cell and looked at a dirty and bloody Glenn.
"Glenn!"
"Arabella?" Glenn questioned, lowering his gun.
I smiled and ran to him, ignoring my side, and hugged him.
"I thought everyone was gone." I mumbled.
"Same here." Glenn replied as he pulled away and looked down at me, "What happened?"
"Pretty sure I got shot. I had walker blood on my so I was able to get back in here. I was going to fix my wound, pack my stuff, and go look for the group." I answered.
"Lets get you stitched up then. I need to find Maggie." Glenn said.
I nodded and we went to my cell. I stitched my side and Glenn went to get a few things from his cell he shared with Maggie. I sat down again and grabbed my bow and arrows when I felt something in my back pocket. I grabbed the item and pulled it out and gasped.
It was a ring.
On the ring was a small note attached. The note said 'Marry Me?' in Daryl's writing. I covered my mouth with my hand and let out a small sob. I looked at the ceiling and smiled, "Yes."
I knew Daryl couldn't hear me, he was probably miles away by now.
"Is everything all right?" Glenn asked.
I held out the ring for him to see and he smiled, "I was wondering when he was going to ask you."
"You knew?" I asked.
He nodded, "Told Rick and I about a day or so before the virus. Wanted to get Rick's permission before he asked you. Told us he had to find the right time to ask."
"Probably didn't know if we were gonna make it out alive." I commented before looking at the riot gear he wore, "We leaving?"
"Yes. Pack your stuff and we'll go. Make sure you keep the walker blood on you so you can get through." Glenn answered.
I grabbed my pack and put in only a spare shirt and jeans before putting in some weapons Daryl and I kept around the room. There were a few knives and two hand guns. I put the ring on my finger before putting on Daryl's dirty poncho. I went into Carl's and Dad's room and put all of Judith's food in the bag, too, before grabbing the knife I knew was under dad's bed.
I saw Glenn grab a few protein bars and we were ready to go. I made sure the gun was loaded and we went outside. I went out before Glenn, since I was covered in walker blood, and I was able to walk through without them noticing me. I walked over to the tank and saw Glenn coming towards me. Then I saw a girl I've never seen before behind a fenced off area.
Glenn came over and saw her before continuing, "We can't just leave her."
Glenn stopped and looked at her then to me, "Fine. You go to the road and I'll get her."
"I'm not gonna leave-"
"Arabella, please. I'll find you in a half hour tops. Just go." Glenn interrupted.
I nodded before looking back at the girl and hugging Glenn and I left. I easily went through the walkers and into the woods. I then started running until I reached the railing on the side of the road and leaned against it, catching my breath and trying to calm the pain in my side. I lifted my shirt to make sure I wasn't bleeding and I wasn't.
I walked over to the heavily damaged car and leaned against it, waiting for Glenn and that girl. I took awhile, but eventually they came running out of the woods,
"Did you see any of my people get out?" Glenn asked her.
"All I saw was my sister in the field." She answered. "She wasn't supposed to be there. She had a gun, but they just swarmed her.
"Glenn." I said, standing up and running over to him.
"Are you okay?" He asked me and I nodded.
I held my hand out to the girl, "Arabella."
"Tara."
"Sorry about your sister." I said.
"She wasn't supposed to be there. I did it for him. I trusted him." Tara continued. "And then he just killed that old man."
"Hershel?" Glenn asked. "Was his name Hershel?"
I turned to look at Glenn, "You didn't see it, did you?"
"What happened?"
"The Governor took Michonne and Hershel hostage. Then cut Hershel's head off with a sword in front of us. Be glad you didn't see it." I told him.
"I'm sorry." Tara apologized. "Brian, that man, told us you were bad people. I know it's not true. I can see it's not, so what we did, what I did... I mean, I'm a piece of shit. Why would you want my help?"
Tara started walking but Glenn stopped her, "We don't want it. We need it. I have to find Maggie."
"Who's Maggie?"
"She's my wife." Glenn answered.
"You guys got separated?" Tara asked.
I nodded, "And I got separated from my husband."
"I was on a bus and then I got off to help but she didn't see me." Glenn said.
"How do you know that she made it?" Tara questioned.
"I don't know." Glenn answered, "But Hershel, Maggie's father, was a great man. And he told me all I had to do was believe, and that's what I'm gonna do. The three of us shouldn't be alive right now. She got out, so you're gonna help us find her. Things aren't over. They're not over."
Glenn grabbed my wrist and we started walking down the road, "I want to believe that." Tara called out.
We stopped and turned to look at her, "I want to."
We heard walkers and across the road a bunch of them started coming towards us. Glenn and I dropped our bags and I grabbed my knife, "You have to."
Glenn and I took on two walkers and Tara killed one that was going for her. Glenn fell to the ground and started gasping and I ran over to him. I wasn't fast enough and he passed out.
"Shit." I mumbled before I shook him, "Glenn. Glenn!"
"What's wrong with him?" Tara asked.
"A few days before you guys came, we had a sickness spread throughout the prison. Glenn got it. He was resting when you guys blew the place up." I answered.
I turned back to Glenn before Tara gasped and I saw a walker grab her. I stood up and stabbed it in the head. It fell and I kept stabbing it, taking out my anger on the lone walker.
"Uh, Arabella?"
I looked up and saw a huge green army truck parked in front of me.
"Hope you enjoyed the show, assholes!" I exclaimed.
The doors opened and two boys and one girl came out.
"You got a damn mouth on you, you know that?" The red head guy with a buzz cut and a interesting moustache asked me, "What else you got?"
