I don't own the Walking Dead or Evanescence
Pretty Much Dead Already
Chapter 2: Two Friends
First POV (Abigail)
I opened my eyes and woke up. I sat up as I let out a small yawn, stretching my arms out. I looked at Ty as he slept peacefully. He looked cute. I smiled before grabbing a knife and a bucket to collect water. I decided to sneak out because I wanted to wash myself up by the creek. Tyler and I had washed ourselves every two days.
I took off my black shirt, dark blue skinny jeans, grey shoes, and white socks, wearing only my underwear and bra. I stepped into the cold stream and began to wash myself.
I forgot to describe what Tyler looks like. He had short dark brown hair with beautiful hazel green eyes and slightly pale skin. He was slightly taller than me. He was my best friend. I began to sing quietly to myself as I sat in the stream.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
I thought about Ty as I continued singing.
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
I thought about our friendship together.
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
I thought about our time together in this hellish nightmare.
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
Ty was kind, caring, compassionate, and cute.
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
I have always loved those beautiful hazel green eyes.
(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
As I finished, I heard the sound of rustling footsteps. I grabbed my knife and was ready to attack. The sound got louder and closer. I saw Ty turn the corner and I was about to attack him, but I stopped before I could cause any damage.
"I'm so sorry. I just came out here to see if you were washing yourself up." He explained.
"It's ok. I'm fine. Were you about to wash up, too?" I curiously asked.
"Yeah." He walked behind me and took off his navy blue polo shirt, white tanktop, white shoes, white socks, and dark grey jeans, leaving only his underwear on. I couldn't help, but notice that Ty wasn't as skinny as he used to be. He was still skinny, but a little bit stronger. "I just wanted to make sure you were ok. You're all that I've got left, Abigail."
"You too, Ty." I replied as I continued washing myself. I noticed Ty had finished and he put on his clothes. He grabbed his bow and his pack of arrows and strapped them both to his back. I put on my clothes as well and grabbed my knife. I collected water in the bucket and carried it back with us. During the walk back, it was silent. It was until Ty broke the silence with a compliment.
"By the way, that was beautiful singing."
"Thanks. I sing every once and a while." I replied, blushing lightly. Suddenly, something caught my attention. I noticed a deer grazing near our camp. "Look!" It then started running away as we gave chase.
Tyler and ran on the branches of the trees in the forest. We adapted to the forest by learning to use the trees to travel. It actually was pretty fun. It was very rarely that a deer would come walking through the area. Tyler was right on top of it. He drew back on his bow and fired. The deer fell to the ground, slowly dying from the arrow in its head.
We jumped down and Ty pulled the arrow out before skinning the dead animal. I kept watch for the next few minutes until he was finished. We then took the meat back to camp so we could cook it.
Later
I went to sleep as soon as I finished eating. I had a horrific nightmare after I fell asleep. It was the worst nightmare I have ever experienced.
"Ty!"
It was daytime. It was foggy. I ran through the forest, desperately looking for Tyler. I kept calling out his name, but there was no response. Just silence. I ran towards our camp, only to find it burning. I kept looking. Suddenly, I heard five gunshots.
"Tyler!" I yelled. "Where are you?!" I ran towards the creek and I saw the worst thing that I could ever see. I knelt down next to…
Tyler. He was lying on the ground, slowly bleeding from a bite on his shoulder. A gun was sitting right next to him. I grabbed him and held him in my arms. He wasn't breathing. He was gone. I cried softly, tears streaming down my face. I then looked at the gun before grabbing it.
I checked the ammo, finding only one bullet left in the clip. I aimed the gun at my head, giving up. I just sat there, waiting for the end. I pulled the trigger.
BAM!
"No." I quietly yelled to myself as I opened my eyes and woke up. I sat up, glad that it was all a nightmare. I took many deep breaths.
"Abigail, are you ok?" I looked over to see Ty, sitting up while looking at me. Worry covered his face.
