Evelyn
Present
Sunlight still poured into the room through the colourful windows that showed images of Jesus. I don't believe in the man anymore, not after this. I sat up and rubbed my sore neck. At first I felt dizzy but after a few moments my vision got better and I was able to stand up. A glass of water sat on the table near the entrance. I grabbed it and emptied it until every drop was gone. Outside a boy was sitting on the front steps with a baby in his arms.
"Hey there cowboy." I huffed before dropping down next to him. He seemed scared, holding the baby a bit farther away from me.
It's been awhile since I remember seeing a baby. In a world like this, it's actually very impressive.
"Judging by the eyes I can tell you two are siblings. Both got the same beautiful eyes." I said with a smile looking at the little miracle. The boy simply nodded.
"Carl? When's the last time you-" A woman with short grey hair walked out and froze when she saw me but quickly his lips formed into a smile.
"Hi there Evelyn how are you feeling?" she placed a hand on my shoulder. I still had a hard time trusting these people.
"Where's my bow and my stuff?" I asked my eyes boring into hers.
She pointed inside the church. I was about to get up when she started asking me more questions.
"So you don't remember who you are at all? Daryl told me about the amnesia. I'm sure it'll all come back to you very soon." She took the baby out of Carl's arms.
"Nah I don't really remember anything about before the world turned to shit. Well I remember my parents, I remember seeing them die too." I sighed and finally got up and walked inside the building.
I went back to the bench I was lying on for the past days, found my bag and my bow lying next to it and started packing my things when all of a sudden people started walking in with smiles on their faces and containers in their arms. Was that food?
They marched up to the front of the church and with a thud dropped the heavy containers on the ground. Suddenly people started coming up to me and talking to me like they have known me forever.
"Hey there I'm Rick Grimes, this is my son Carl and my daughter Judith. I hope you're feeling better. I was there when they knocked you on the head, it was pretty serious." The bearded man had a strong southern accent which I found pretty funny.
People started lighting up candles and opening the boxes. A brunette came by and sat down next to me, handing me a glass of whine.
"I know it ain't the best idea to give you alcohol right when you're recovering from that awful injury but consider it as a welcome gift. You don't find cheap whine at every corner now-a-days. Any alcohol you can get your hands on now is never cheap." she seemed very nice.
"I'm Maggie by the way. I'm Glenn's wife." she gave me her hand and I shook it.
"Oh the Chinese?" I asked.
"I'm Korean." muttered Glenn passing by. Maggie nudged him away.
"Daryl calls Glenn Chinaman." she added before taking a sip from her glass.
I kept staring at the glass in my hand.
"Well Imma go see my Korean. If you need anything just let me know okay? Don't be shy." she got up and left.
Everyone was having a good time, laughing away. Someone else came up to me soon after.
"Hey Evelyn! Feeling better?" The woman was accompanied by another man.
"This is Bob and I'm Sasha! Thought you'd be hungry." She then gave me a plate filled with food.
I didn't realise how hungry I was until I started stuffing the food in my mouth. It was so good! They both laughed. I then kept playing with my glass that was still filled with whine.
"You're looking at it as if you've never consumed alcohol in your life." said Sasha eyeing my glass.
"I'm not a big fan of whine. I'm more of a whiskey kind of girl since I was fifteen." I said with my mouth full.
Wait, how did I know that? My hand subconsciously started rubbing my forearm.
Daryl
Present
I pushed the doors open to see everyone having a great time. I walked inside with one rabbit and four squirrels on my back, but soon realised they didn't need them. They all had plates filled with food. Damn shame.
My eyes suddenly landed on Evelyn who was sitting up and facing the alter. I slowly started walking down the aisle in her direction. When I got up to her I her her staring at her wine glass.
"You start rememberin stuff?" I said putting down the dead animals down.
She looked at me with wide eyes and started shaking her head. "I remember my first drink, whiskey."
I remember that day. I remember seeing her wince after because of the sting. It had been funny to see her that way.
"That's all I remember." she put down her glass next to her and got up.
Amnesia is a weird thing. Didn't she remember me? I was the one who gave her the bottle on that day.
"Hey Daryl you're back! Want some food? Some booze?" said Carol.
I nodded and then she came up to me with a big plate and a bottle of white whine. I thanked her and took both, taking a sip straight from the bottle. I decided to keep it all to myself. She watched me eat with a concerned face. "Are you okay Daryl?" she put a hand on my back.
"Yeah" I grunted, my eyes not leaving the plate.
She didn't believe me. I know she didn't. "She'll remember." and with that she got up and left.
I looked up to see her sitting down with the others and smiling with Judith in her arms. I missed that smile, but I will never admit it out loud.
