October
Day 1
Daryl
I was in the woods hunting, only instead of it being for dinner it was to kill walkers. I heard them near the camp that night, there was only a few in the distance that were heading our way. So I had kissed Glenn's sleeping forehead before I put on my pants and grabbed my crossbow, though now in retrospect I should've at least grabbed my jacket considering how much the temperature, especially at night had been dropping.
I shivered again as I could hear them eating, I informed T-Dog who'd been keeping watch, that I was going to take out a couple of walker problems. T-Dog wanted to come, but I told him that he needed to keep watch in case there were others I hadn't heard, if so and they needed to pack up and leave to just shout and I'd come back.
I finally got around some of the trees that were obscuring my vision of the walkers which were feasting on a fallen deer. The first one that noticed me was once a woman, blood running down her neck were a gaping wound had been, looked like a walker just like her had taken a chunk out of her neck before she turned, now it was just a decade mess as she growled and started stumbling over to me. I raised my crossbow and shot her in the head, she fell back on the deer which got the others attention.
I quickly reloaded as I backed up, the other two were men, one had to have been in his fifties before he died turning into this disgusting walker that was covered in blood, boils and flesh that was falling off.
I shot him in the eye with my other arrow, I slung my crossbow onto my back as I pulled out my hunting knife while the last one got to its feet, a man, I made an educated guess that he use to have money before the world went to shit from the fact that he was wearing a once impressive and expensive, custom tailored suit, though now it was just ripped and bloody rags of a suit. I held the handle of my knife as I waited for him to move toward me, as he reached for me I stabbed my blade into his forehead and followed him to the ground.
I pulled my knife out, I looked down and saw a ring on the guys finger, the fingers were decade and disgusting but the ring. I figured I could clean it up and maybe disinfect it with some boiled water and it'd be good as new. It was silver, with this Celtic design on it, intertwining around the band. I took my knife and cut the walkers finger, and removed the ring, I wiped off the blood before sheathing my knife and standing back up. I shivered as another breeze passed by, goose bumps rose on my skin as I turned and headed back to camp, ring firmly in hand.
I got back and nodded the okay to T-Dog as he looked from where he was leaning against one of the trees. We'd set up camp at the edge of the woods right next to the road where our vehicles were hiding us from the easy view of walkers and survivors.
The fire was dying, so T-Dog was bundled the best he could, I heard Rick getting up to start his watch so T-Dog could get some sleep that night, I got back in our tent just as Glenn stirred noticing I wasn't there. I quickly hid the ring and then moved next to Glenn. He opened his eyes and mumbled sleepily, I barely made out the question. "'ere 'ere 'u?" Glenn closed his eyes again as I moved my hand around his waist and bent down kissing the bulge his stomach made.
Glenn smiled as I kissed him and rubbed my hand along the curve of his stomach to his back, I continued to kiss his stomach. It woke him some so this time it was easier to understand what he was saying. "Keep that up and we'll never go back to sleep." Glenn warned, I smirked as I moved to his lips and gave him a real kiss.
I pulled the covers back over us as I wrapped my arms around him and he did the same. He closed his eyes and rested his head on my chest as he shivered against me, I ran my hand down his back as I kissed his head, then closed my eyes and fell back to sleep for the rest of the night.
The next morning I woke early as I could hear Rick getting the others up, it was time to eat and pack up, we never stayed in one place more than a night or two, we had to keep moving it's safer that way. Today we were heading into a small neighborhood that Rick marked on the map, we were hoping for food and/or shelter there.
We did find food, as for shelter there were to many walkers around and more on the way to deem it safe to stay for long. With my hearing it aided them that month in staying ahead of the herds.
Day 11
Glenn
I was near a lake washing some of our clothing, it was a more peaceful day, the nights were getting colder and Daryl was predicting snow in a few more weeks as winter got closer. The bright side this cold weather seemed to be slowing down the walkers. Though while they were slowing down my hormones and exhaustion were not.
I was tired all the time and hungry, I noticed the same thing from Lori, I asked her about it and she said it was normal, that it should get better once we both reached our second trimester, at least we hoped, she said it was worse for me because this was my first pregnancy, while she'd already done this once.
While I was cleaning the laundry T-Dog was keeping watch, one of Rick's new rules was that no one went anywhere away from the group alone. Daryl almost got bit a few days ago when he'd gone off by himself for some unknown reason, it wasn't to hunt, we all knew that, but he wasn't talking so Rick laid down the law.
Daryl didn't argue and so that's how I came to be guarded by T-Dog while I was washing and trying to keep us as clean as possible. I was just wringing some of the shirts out about to hang them on the line when I heard Daryl relieve T-Dog, I glanced over as he set his bow down against a tree and then walked over to me.
He wrapped his arm around my waist his hand resting on my stomach. "It's been at least a week since our last quite moment together." Daryl whispered in my ear.
I smiled as I leaned back against him, Daryl moved to kiss along my neck and throat as his hand moved up my shirt, I moaned as I felt my jeans being undone, Daryl continued to kiss along my neck to my shoulder blades then stopped. I turned around in his arms and faced him, I kissed him on the lips, he returned it as our tongues battled for dominance, though Daryl won, he always wins.
I closed my eyes along with Daryl as we continued to make out while Daryl helped me out of my shirt, only breaking the kiss to pull it over my head then returned as my hands ran down his body as I started to remove his jacket with the angle wings on the back.
I was panting as we started fumbling for each other's jeans, I was all thumbs as I tried to get Daryl's zipper down so Daryl took care of it for both of us and we quickly pushed our jeans down and kicked them off before wrapping our arms around each other as we continued making out, it was needy, and desperate as we finished undressing and slid to the leaf covered ground.
Daryl knelt between my legs as I moved them to wrap around his waist, he put his fingers in his mouth as we didn't have any lube at the moment, he slipped them inside, I moaned and tossed my head back in pleasure as I closed my eyes to feeling of being stretched. Soon he pulled his fingers out, spat on his hand and rubbed it along his cock to ease the way as he started to push inside me.
Soon he was thrusting and I pushed back to meet his thrusts as we panted and groaned, moaned and I bit the inside of my wrist to keep from crying out. I saw Daryl bite his lip as we both neared our climax. I cried out into my arm as I came and Daryl followed shortly after, he eased down so he wasn't on top of me, he pulled out as he laid next to me his arm around my waist.
He grabbed one of the blankets that I had been going to wash and covered us with it, I smiled as we just got our breathing under control and just relaxed, Daryl moved to grab his pants and pulled a small, battered, brown, rather ugly looking box from his jeans pocket. I wasn't sure when he found, but on one of our scavenger hunts he had, he placed it on my stomach.
"Open it up." Daryl requested, I moved my hand to the box and took the top off, inside was a silver ring, clean pristine, with a Celtic design around the band, looked like it was my size. I was speechless, by what this could mean exactly, Daryl spoke a moment later to clear up my confusion. "Will you marry me?"
I looked at him, tears of joy in my eyes, I was chocked up by my emotions as I nodded, he smiled and hugged me. Then took the ring out of the box, which he tossed into the stream, then he took my hand and slipped it onto my ring finger, I knew where Daryl had gotten it, I knew that I would forever cherish and love it. This ring would never leave my finger if I had any say in the matter.
We started kissing again and Daryl was so lost in it he didn't even hear the footsteps coming to our location until a gasp of. "Oh, God, I'm so sorry." We parted and saw that it was Carol, she turned around to look in the other direction then at the two naked men under the blanket making out.
"Carol, what is it?" Daryl asked concerned.
"Rick…Rick said we had to move out, a storms coming along the horizon and he wants to find some shelter for the night." Carol informed us with her back turned. "I'll let Rick know it'll be a few minutes." Carol said before rushing back to where camp had been getting set up.
After she left I started laughing in embarrassment, Daryl looked at me and soon he was laughing too. It took a minute for us to calm down. "We better get dressed." I suggested, Daryl agreed with a nod, he kissed the top of my head and then together we got back into our clothes, took down the laundry and I grabbed the blanket before we headed back to the camp that was disassembling as clouds were moving in from the east, dark, rolling clouds with flashes of lighting, I didn't hear the thunder but Daryl did.
We got in our vehicles, I was with Rick's family and Carol this time in the van as Rick led us out in another direction, and T-Dog was with Hershel's family in the VW while Daryl was on his bike at the rear. I continued to look at the ring on my finger as Rick drove, Carol in the passenger seat. Carl was sitting next to me, Lori next to him.
"Glenn can I ask you something?" Carl asked.
"You just did kiddo, but go ahead and ask something else." I teased, Carl laughed before asking what he really wanted to know.
"Where did you get that ring, it's cool." Carl asked, I had smiled the moment Daryl proposed and I just couldn't stop.
"Well Carl, it was a present." I looked at Lori as she saw the ring as well, she knew, she just knew. It wasn't hard for her to figure it out, after all it was on my right ring finger.
"Carl, he'll tell us more about it when he's ready." Lori told him, Carl looked at her, I felt bad for Lori. After everything that happened back on the farm Rick had started treating Lori differently, after the revelation of what had truly gone down between Lori, Shane and Rick. Carl started acting different too, he started to learn how to protect himself, look out for himself, and rely on himself, he would ignore Lori and stopped listening to her instruction all together. It appeared as if he neither wanted nor needed her mothering at the moment, and that was pain for her I'm sure, because I would never want my child to never want or need me, no matter how old or what happens in the past to drive them away.
Carl slowly but surely became a productive, and helpful member of our group, growing up years before his time. He was only twelve, but he had to make decisions that not even an adult had to make, decisions that I child should never even have to face, like weather or not to take a life. A living human life, but that was something we were all starting to face after the fall at the farm.
The car fell silent then, and for several hours no one said anything until Rick finally turned onto a neighborhood that was mostly empty, he pulled up to one of the bigger houses, we grabbed our knives and implements to take out any walkers that might be residing in the two story brown stone.
I got out with Carl and Lori. Daryl, Rick, Hershel and T-Dog got together. "Okay, we're going to go in formation, we are a strike team, we go in first clear the house then the rest follow." Rick instructed them, they agreed, prepared themselves and then Rick kicked in the door, Daryl and T-Dog flanked him on either side, Hershel watched their back as they quickly took out the four walkers in the house, including the ones up stairs.
The rest of us entered as the storm finally hit and it started to pour down rain that could drench you in seconds, freezing rain at that, and the wind too was so cold. It was just a miserable night as we set up house, putting down our sleeping bags.
Daryl and Rick came back downstairs in a hurry. Daryl wrapped his arms around me and held me close his right hand resting on my baby bump. "No one goes upstairs." Rick ordered as he too touched Lori's bump and his other arm around Carl. I don't what they had seen, but whatever it had been had shaken Rick and Daryl to the core.
As we sat down, after we found some can goods in the pantry for dinner Daryl looked at me, he was ready. I set my can of peaches down and cleared my throat to get their attention before I started. "Daryl and I have some news." They all looked at us, I moved to hold his hand and he smiled at me. "We're engaged." I announced all happy as I showed them my ring, they were ecstatic.
"That's wonderful." Lori and Carol said. Maggie and Beth started asking questions of how it happened.
"Congratulations." Rick said as Carl took another look at the ring.
"Rick, would you do the honors of marring us off?" Daryl asked. That I hadn't been expecting but I certainly agreed that Rick should be the one, he was our leader.
"Of course, when do you want to do it?" Rick asked.
"Not now, not tonight or tomorrow." I told him as Daryl wrapped his arm around me and held me close. We needed to discuss how we wanted to get married. Rick agreed rather pleased at this, and then looked at his wife and that look of happiness was gone.
I told the girls how he proposed without all the details, mostly that we were just lying together and he popped the question. The conversation stopped then as we all finished our canned food and headed to bed.
I laid with Daryl my arm around his waist, head on his chest as his arm was wrapped around my shoulders holding me close. "Daryl, what did you see upstairs?" I asked softly as I heard Maggie snoring and Rick was upstairs keeping watch out one of the windows, while Lori slept on one side of the room and Carl near Beth on the other. It was sad, but I was choosing to ignore the problems in our group and focus on me and Daryl.
"You don't want to know, trust me, do not go up there." Daryl whispered in my ear before kissing the top of my head and once more pressing his hand to my belly protectively, I knew right then, I'd never ask again, he was right. I did not want to know.
Day 30
Daryl
We talked about getting married, we knew that we didn't have to actually do a wedding, not any more. But, he wanted to hear: the until death do us part and say our vows and you are now married, and all that. Caring about him and his wants I was willing to wait until he felt the moment was right.
His belly got bigger and now he was wearing the jeans he'd gotten for this moment so he wouldn't have to wear the girlie maternity clothes that he'd picked out. The manliest of the women's maternity shirts and jeans he had managed to find, but he was delaying the inevitable as long as possible, I'd seen them, I didn't blame him.
It was late afternoon and the clouds were rolling in for another storm, a bad storm. I could feel it in the air, right now we were walking, since the VW and Van were low on gas so we had left them on the side of the road a few miles back to find some. The girls didn't want to stay behind and I wasn't about to leave Glenn back there, he was the best scavenger in the group, so we were moving through the middle of a town, small, the gas station in sight. No walkers though and that concerned me, cause I couldn't hear any either, and that didn't feel right.
"Daryl." Glenn whispered as he gripped my hand, I looked at him concerned at first then he pointed to a small building, it wasn't a chapel, it wasn't a church, it was a white building that was a small court house. It was two stories, with a patched roof and stairs, but also stained glass windows of people getting married, men, women, and I had to agree. This place would be perfect.
"Rick." I called, he turned and looked at us. "Now, we want to get married here, now." I pointed to the building, Rick looked at it, and then at the others, they were watching us.
"T-Dog, Hershel, grab the gas, girls scavenge up food and supplies, we will all convene at the court house in one hour. You two, prepare to get married, for better or worse." Rick instructed everyone on their jobs. They all set out to get it done quickly.
Lori forced Carl to go with her and the other women to scavenge for supplies while T-Dog and Hershel got gas, Glenn, Rick and I headed into the court house to clear it out of any walkers. My mistake was an hour later when everyone got inside after we cleared out the dead, that I heard them, they were miles off, or so I assumed. I could hear the stumbling and the growling and groaning, but I said nothing.
You know why…because I wanted to get married, I wanted to get married to Glenn when and where Glenn wanted to have the wedding. He wanted here, where he felt that it was perfect. He was growing out of his clothes, he was only a few months pregnant and he was starting to get uncomfortable, he was horny all the time and his chest and nipples were tender and sore it was embarrassing for him.
If he wanted one moment to feel normal, to feel perfect I wasn't going to ruin that by telling them that walkers were headed our way, that we'd have to forget it and go, because damn it I wanted too.
So I kept my mouth shut, Beth and Maggie with Carl sat on one side. Lori and Hershel sat on the other side of the aisle that Glenn and I had created. They were just flip chairs that we'd found in a closet and set up for our friends. Carol stood by Glenn, T-Dog by me as I stood across from Glenn on the right where the groom usually stands. I blushed at that thought seeing as Glenn was the bride in this situation and that thought was so funny to me that I bust out laughing as Rick was standing at the front waiting for us to tell him we were ready.
Glenn looked at me confused. "I'm sorry Glenn, I just thought of something funny, not you, or this. I want this, I want you, and the baby." I told him as my laughter stopped and I took his hand seriously. I'm not a girl, I don't do weddings or proposals or baby showers, I don't do kids or babies but I was in a situation where I was going to have a baby, with a man I had only known a few weeks. A man I had been blowing off steam with, the only attractive one and unattached, who was interested in me.
I had found myself wanting to marry him, because I cared about him, how stupid was that. I couldn't even say the three little words he needed to hear, but he was okay with that. I have no idea why, just that he loves me, and that made this perfect, all worth it, and to this day I have never regretted my decision to get married to Glenn Rhee. Even though I had no idea if I was ever going to be ready to say those three most important words.
I looked at Rick as we both nodded that we were ready to do this. Rick started. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to see our friends Daryl Dixon and Glenn Rhee join their lives together in holy matrimony. Do you Daryl Dixon take Glenn Rhee to be your husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better or worse, keeping yourself for him alone as long as you both shall live?" Rick asked me.
Still holding Glenn's hands I looked into his eyes and said without a doubt in my mind. "I do."
"Do you Glenn Rhee take Daryl Dixon to be your husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for better or worse, keeping yourself for him alone as long as you both shall live?" Rick asked Glenn.
Glenn smiled at me as he said no hesitation no second thought. "I do."
"If y'all have any vows, now is the time to share them." Rick told us.
I didn't have anything, I didn't know what to say, I couldn't even say that I lo-those words. I couldn't even think it without getting sick to my stomach, how was I supposed to tell him in vows how much he means to me when I couldn't so those three damned words. It had been frustrating but Glenn knew how to fix it, to make it all better.
As he started to speak that storm came down, it hit, raining and pouring drowning out the noises of the walkers that were closer then I had expected, that were moving faster than I had anticipated, while Glenn spoke to me calming my panic. "I love you, I have loved you the moment we met, and I know you care about me very deeply. Daryl Dixon doesn't have to say anything, because Daryl Dixon speaks with actions not words. I have heard you ever time you touch me, every single time you protected me, kissed me, hugged me, I hear you now, I know how you feel. Because I love you." Glenn finished.
All I could say was. "I know."
"I now pronounce you married." Rick finished. "You may now-"
I pressed my lips to Glenn's before Rick even finished that last sentence, Glenn returned the kiss as we wrapped our arms around each other as the rain beat down on the roof, the rain was pouring and I didn't hear, no one noticed outside one of the windows until we heard a crash. Glenn and I broke off as we saw several walkers coming in through the stained glass window.
Beth and Carl screamed, Maggie, Hershel and Lori all stood grabbing their weapons or whatever was handy. "We need to leave now." Rick ordered and I had to agree because I heard more on their way.
I grabbed Glenn's hand as we heard them at the back door trying to get in, we were screwed. "Upstairs now." I said as the doors were coming down. Everyone headed up there, Rick took the lead and stood up there as he head counted as we rushed to one of the offices, I was right behind Glenn. I grabbed Rick's arm as I said. "We need to split up, lead them away."
Rick nodded as he agreed with me, and followed into the back room, Rick picked up a chair and threw it out the window as I closed the door and started to push the desk in that office against the door as they started to bang on it to try and get at us.
"We need to get back to the cars." Lori said freaking out as her hand was on Carl's shoulder.
"Okay, Daryl and I are going to lead them away, make it safe, then the rest of you head to the vehicles." Rick instructed as he wrapped his hand with his shirt and cleared off the glass, there was a hangover that they could climb out onto and try to climb down after Rick and I made it safe.
I grabbed Glenn's hand and had him face me. "I'm gonna go out, and I am going to take care of it, I want you to do what Hershel and T-Dog instruct, I'll be back, I promise." I kissed him, I never promised anything, I learned a long time ago that promises can be broken, never to trust them. So I never made them, this time I was making a promise, a promise to Glenn, to come back. No matter what happened in the next few moments I would be back, and I would be there when he needed me.
Glenn broke the kiss and nodded that he understood, that he believed and trusted me. I pulled my bow off my back and loaded it, Rick took Glenn's hook knife and was ready to climb out onto the hangover roof of the second floor.
There were several walkers down below heading into the court house. "We need to lead them over to the woods that way." I pointed out to Rick as the rain was getting us soaking wet, as thunder clashed around us.
"Let's do it." Rick agreed as we clapped are right hands together, it was our thing when we worked together against walkers and others that threated our group. Thing was I never had any friends growing up, and believe it or not Rick had become my best friend, we were a great team together, one that I never wanted to lose.
We prepared as we moved to the edge and saw an opening in the swarm heading into the court house, I took it as I jumped down, Rick followed, we ran to the edge of the woods, the few that had seen us followed but most were still heading into the building for our group.
"Rick we have to get their attention, do it." He knew what I was referring to as he pulled out his pistol and fired three shots into the air. The walkers turned and headed our way.
As they got closer we ran into the woods planning to go around and back towards the vehicles where we were going to meet the others and get the hell out of there. It was my fault, I should've told them, I didn't and another herd was coming from our left until I nearly got bit as I ran.
"Damn it Rick." I turned as more walkers were chasing him the other direction. I was forced to go right when I needed to go left. "Rick!" I called as I aimed my bow and hit one in the eye. I stooped as I pulled the arrow out while I ran.
"Daryl!" I heard Rick call back. I turned and saw him, we were separated by the walkers, he was going in the direction of the cars, and I was being forced to go the other way.
I stopped my running as I got to the edge of a cliff, it was a steep hill down into a river. The storm had churned it up creating rapids, I turned as I saw the walkers advancing on my position. I saw Rick, made eye contact, he knew what I had to do in order to survive, and with one look he promised to take care of Glenn until I managed to make it back to them. I threw my bow onto my back, and jumped off right before several of the walkers grabbed at me.
I hit the water feet first, the thing I noticed was how fuckin' cold it was. Like knives and daggers biting into my skin, I knew how to swim, but this was different. It was like being in a meat locker except you couldn't breathe as my head went under. I tried to stay above but I was constantly being dragged down by the currents.
The rapids were so fast, so wild that I got turned around not sure which way was up or down, eventually I hit my head against one of the rocks and that was the last I remember that day as my eyes closed and I continued to drift with the water miles back the way we had come.
Glenn
We watched them climb off the roof hangover on the second floor while walkers banged at the door trying to get at us, ruining our wedding, I watched as Rick shot his gun into the darkened sky above. I instinctively put my hand to my belly as we saw the walkers started follow them, the ones that had been banging on the door were also leaving. T-Dog chose to go first so he could help us pregnant people down.
While him and Lori got down I continued to watch until Rick and more importantly Daryl disappeared into the woods. "Glenn, go on." Maggie urged.
I moved out onto the roof carefully as it was slippery due to the rain that was getting us drenched. I crawled to the edge and turned around lowering myself down as T-Dog grabbed my waist to help him to the ground as he had done for Lori. He didn't have a mutation to help him out, but he was just as helpful as those who did.
We waited as Carl was next followed by Beth, Maggie and Carol, Hershel brought up the rear as he wanted to make sure we all got down before he followed. There were a few straggling walkers that were easily dispatched, then we all headed back to where we'd left the vehicles and wait for Rick and Daryl to get back.
Rick
Daryl and I were separated by dozens of walkers, I was headed in the correct direction towards the cars, Daryl had been pushed in the other. I thought for a moment he'd screamed my name, I wasn't sure. "Daryl!" I called as he stopped at a steep cliff drop into what I could only suspect was a raging river from the sounds of it.
Daryl looked at me, I saw it in his eyes, he was asking me to take care of Glenn until he could return. With a look, I promised. Then he threw his bow onto his back and jumped before he could get grabbed.
I knew I couldn't stay, but I had made it to the cliff and saw the direction the river was going. It was back the way we'd come, I didn't see him though, not even a hand or arm or head to let me know he was alive and would stay that way.
I didn't know how to tell Glenn that his newly wed husband was gone, not dead because I knew Daryl, he could survive and he would make it back to Glenn he had promised. I just knew that this was going to kill Glenn inside until he saw him again, we couldn't go back, there's no telling how far the river goes or if there aren't any forks that might take him in another direction.
I couldn't stay, the walkers were starting to notice me, a few had gone into the river after Daryl, but now I was the only living thing left, so I quickly turned and ran back to the cars, I had to get my remaining people to safety. I came out of the woods, the others were getting loaded into the cars when Glenn looked at me.
"Where's Daryl?" Glenn asked as he noticed I was alone.
The others stopped what they had been doing to protect the seats from getting wet. They looked at me as I walked up to him, Maggie moved to stand by him as she took his hand feeling that something bad was coming.
"There were walkers all around us, not just the herd in the town, but another that came out of nowhere. They separated us, Daryl was surrounded, he was at this cliff edge. I'm sorry Glenn he jumped into the river and was swept away with the rapids. I don't know where he'll end up." I explained.
"Daryl's gone?" Glenn asked tears in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry Glenn, I don't know if he's alive or not, but if he is, he knows we're headed to the storage units for winter. Come on, it's cold get in the car." We had enough gas to get to the next town before we'd be running on fumes, I just hoped we could get some gas there, seeing as all we had gathered had been left behind in our rush to get away from the walkers.
Glenn cried the whole night and I didn't blame him, no one tried to stop him, he just sobbed for Daryl, the loss of Daryl. Maggie held him while I opened the back of the van and with T-Dog's help loaded up Daryl's bike, we couldn't close the hatch back, but that was okay, for Glenn I couldn't leave Daryl's bike behind. I got in the van with Lori, Carl, Maggie who was holding Glenn close as he mourned. T-Dog drove the VW with Hershel, Beth and Carol.
I wasn't sure if Daryl had survived that night, but I knew that if he had, if he managed to live through the rapids and walkers then he'd come back, he'd make it to Glenn, nothing mattered more to him then us, his friends and more importantly his family. Which were Glenn and the baby.
Day 31
Daryl
I coughed as I felt a stab of pain enter my temple where I'd obviously hit my head, since there was fresh blood dripping down my face. I was shivering and shaking, but I didn't feel the water. My eyes were closed, but I didn't hear waves, or birds, or anything. It was so quiet for a second I thought I was dead. Except the pain I felt was real so I couldn't be in another life.
I felt a blanket being pulled down which didn't help the cold I felt as my clothes were clinging to my skin from being wet. Clothes that at the moment were being carefully peeled off of me, I started coughing again when I heard a soothing voice, a female voice. She was trying to calm me.
"Easy, you're safe." She told me, I could barely open my eyes, but she sounded beautiful, and sweet, sort of musical. Though I think that was partly due to the concussion I had suffered from.
It had to be a concussion, because damn, my head hurt. I couldn't open my eyes and some stranger; some girl was taking off my clothes while wrapping a blanket around me to warm me up. I couldn't stop shaking, my skin was wet with freezing water and my lips were probably turning blue, I didn't feel a fire warming me up, I couldn't feel the wind and I was on what felt like a mattress, a lumpy, ratty, moldy mattress, but it was softer then the ground. So I must be inside, I assumed I was inside.
"Hey, hey it's okay. You're okay." I don't know what I was doing that had her freaked and trying to calm me but that voice, I'd do anything to keep her talking. "Can you tell me your name?" She asked as she was starting to take my jeans off, her hands shaking and she seemed incredibly nervous about this, so she was young and inexperienced about seeing a man below the belt.
"My name." I mumbled. "Is." I tried to think, I tried to concentrate on what my name was, but I kept coming up blank. I…crap…I didn't know what my name was. "I-I-I don't know." My eyes popped open as I jerked up.
"Wait, calm down." She said as she grabbed my upper body to keep me from falling out of the bed I was currently lying in. She had black hair, emerald eyes, and a pack nearby covered in flowers, why was that familiar and yet I couldn't recall where I'd seen it all before. Then my eyes rolled back into my head and I started to have a seizure.
"NO!" She cried as she tried to get me to stop shaking and seizing, but there was nothing she could do but wait until it passed, by then I was close to passing out as it came to an end but I still heard her as she said. "Hi, Mr. John Doe, I'm Harleen Nicolson, but you can call me Harley. Pleased to meet you." That was the last I remembered for the next three days.
