I Thought it Was Over
I saw a man who looked about in his late 30s, he had short brown hair, his eyes looked like a mixture of blue and green. He shot more walkers and so did my brother. The man came over to me. "I'm Daryl." He said. "Casity." I said to Daryl. "I'm Jake." Jake introduced himself. "Jake I need you to put your hand on that side and when I say pull, pull it towards you." Daryl said. Daryl put his hand on the opposite said. "Ok and pull." Daryl said and Jake and Daryl pulled it. Then my foot was free. Daryl ripped part of his jean and he tied it around my ankle. "You are losing a lot of blood." He said to me and I kind of knew it as well because I was feeling as if I was going to pass out an second. "Casity?" My brother said to me but his image was getting blurry. "Hey, stay with us." Daryl said, but I couldn't because even his words became fizzy. The last thing I saw was Daryl's eyes and my brother looking really concerned before darkness consumed me.
(FLASHBACK~2 years ago)~ "No, no Jake I don't want to go I am scared. Your not going to be there with me." I said to Jake as I was about to board a plane to go to Costa Rica. "It'll be fine, you'll be fine." Jake told me. "But what if something happens, like the plane crashes or, or I get lost?" I asked him. "It won't and you won't. Trust me Casity." Jake said and he took off one of his bracelet's that he never takes off. "Here." He said and he handed it to me. "No, no Jake I can't take that from you." I said to him. "Yes you can. It was my good luck bracelet, always brought me good luck. Now it'll do the same for you." He whispered in my ear and he put it on me.
(Present day)~ My eyes snapped open and I was surprisingly laying on a bed. "Hey, hey your awake." Jake said to me. I nodded my head because I was still kind of tired. "You, you broke your ankle." Jake said. Well that is just wonderful, now I can't walk. "Thank you." I said to Jake. "For what?" He asked me with a confused look on his face. "For not leaving me." I said and I smiled. Then more people came in the room. One man was older, I saw a little boy, two young girls, Daryl, a man who was in a police uniform and a woman standing next to him. I saw a Koran boy, and a women with blonde hair, I saw another women with short hair and a little girl. "We should introduce ourselves." The older man said.
"Well I'm Hershel, this is my daughter Maggie." Hershel said and he pointed to the girl with short hair that was just below her ears. Maggie waved and smiled at me. "This is my other daughter, Beth." He said and he pointed to the girl with long blonde hair. She smiled at me. The Koran guy came forward. I'm Glenn.; He said and he stuck out his hand so I can take it. The guy with the police uniform came towards me, "I'm Rick." Then the girl who seemed to be his wife said, I'm Lori and this is my son Carl." "Hi." I announced. The women who blonde hair came to me, "Hi I'm Andrea, that's Carol, and her daughter Sophia." Andrea said as she pointed to the women with short hair and her little girl. "Hi." I whispered in a little voice. "Now, you broke your ankle, but it should be healed soon enough." Hershel told me. "Thank you, all. Then when my ankle is better we'll go. And by the way I'm Casity." I waved. "You don't need too. You can stay here. I mean it is dangerous out there." Daryl said as he kneeled on my bed. "Yeah but you already have too many people staying here, and I don't want to use up your food sources and water." I said. "It's ok. Stay, stay we welcome you." Hershel shouted a little. I smiled, but "In feel really bad for staying here. Thank you, Daryl." I said as I looked him in his eyes. "What for?" He asked surprised that I said thank you to him. "For saving us." I thanked him. "It was nothing, really. I was just out hunting and I heard you and Jake, thought I'd help." He said to me. "Do you need anything?" Glenn asked cutting in. "No, no I am fine thanks." I said to him. Then I saw another man come in he was black and he said "Oh, hi your awake. I'm T-dog."; He said. "Nice to meet you all and really, once my ankle is healed we'll go." I said again reassuring them that we didn't need to stay here. "No Casity you guys are fine. Two more people won't bite." Rick said. I smiled they were all so welcoming. We'll let you get some rest. Hershel said and they all left. "I feel bad, I don't want to be a problem for them." I said to Jake. "No worries." Jake reassured me that they wanted us to stay. "Sometimes I miss the world." I told Jake. "Yeah, yeah I know what you mean. Missing how things use to be. Over-crowded food store, too loud in study hall, waiting in line for hours." Jake told me. "Yeah sometimes I miss that. I can't even go to Daddy's grave anymore and talk to him." I said as my voice got shaky.
