The next time I wake up, I hear a familiar voice talk and it's followed by an unfamiliar one. I feel pain everywhere, but I ignore it. I peak out of my eye, tensing up ever so slightly and I see Beth facing me. Her eye meets my open one and her eyes tell me 'Don't. Talk. Close your eyes.' I do as she says, but I go unconscious.
"Caroline." Beth says, her eyes are frantic "Are you awake?"
"Mhmm." I say and struggle to get up.
"No, don't. You were hit by a car." She motions for me to sit. I do.
"Daryl? Rafe? Oh god, where are they?" I gasp, frantically "I have to make sure they're okay. Are they here? Are we at the hospital?"
"They aren't here. They were in Atlanta? How do you know about the hospital?"
"Yea, Daryl, Rafe and I came lookin' for you." I readjust, grunting. "We saw the cross and we read about this hospital. I worked here for a while. Oh yea, we ran into your friend Noah. He's determined to save you."
"Noah's all right?" She's relieved, she takes my hand "The group is lookin' for us. Rick, Daryl, even your sister is helpin'."
"Yeah. We saved his ass." I roll my eyes "How do you know? I mean, I know my sister or Daryl or Maggie and Glen, but everyone else?"
"They have two of the hospitals' people. I have a wheel chair here. She said to get you when you're awake. I wanted to fill you in real quick." She looks nervous "Here lemme..."
I take her arm and allow her to help me into the wheelchair, she pushes me out. New people. That's not my area of expertise, but I know Daryl's almost here. A group surrounds me and we're away from two doors in the front. I hear footsteps. My heart pounds, my instincts are telling me something bad's gonna happen.
"Beth took good care of you." The man in a white coat, I'm guessing the doctor, says.
"I know. Thank you for that, by the way." I look up at her and she smiles down at me.
The door opens and Rick comes in first, then I see my sister, Tyreese and Sasha. Noah, Rafe and then the face I'm needing most, Daryl comes into view. I automatically tense, our eyes meet and I see the two cops that were kidnapped.
"Is he yours?" One of the cop asks.
"Hmm?" I look up at him.
"The man with the crossbow, is he yours?"
"He's my husband if that's what you mean." I twirl the rings on my finger.
"He's a looker." She says and I grind my teeth.
"Like I said, taken."
"Yea, so drop it!" Beth adds and I feel her put a hand on my shoulder.
"Take her first." The leader, who Beth says to be Dawn, orders.
A stranger takes me up and Daryl seems anxious to take the handles on my wheelchair. He doesn't take it right away though, he pulls me up into a tight hug and I groan.
"I was hit by a car, Daryl." I laugh slightly and kiss him, before sitting back in the wheelchair.
He then rolls me back and we sit in the back, I take Rafe and hug him.
"God, I missed all of you." I whisper so only Rafe, Leyna and Daryl could here.
Leyna then hugs me and holds my hand.
"Speaking of, why're you here?" I ask Rafe, but it's cut short after we start leaving.
"We also want Noah." Dawn adds and I feel the tension fill the air.
"That wasn't part of the deal!" Rick growls and my heart pounds. I squeeze Leyna's hand, feeling Daryl leave my wheelchair.
He stands next to Rick as they argue, finally Noah convinces them to let him stay. Beth hugs him, with a wild look in her eyes. She gets up real close to Dawn, said something quietly then in a flash pulls something out of her cast and stabs Dawn. Automatically, Dawn shoots and kills Beth. She looks at us with wide eyes, then mouths 'I didn't mean to...' then, Daryl shoots Dawn in the head, causing everyone to put their guns up.
"Everyone stop!" One of the cops says and I let go of Leyna's hand, Daryl's hurt and crying. He won't put his gun down.
They try to stop me before realizing it's stupid to even try. I limp over to Daryl and put my hand on his shoulder, kissing it softly.
"C'mon, baby. Put it down?" I help him with my hand, I feel him cry so I hug him tightly and ignore the pain that follows.
He pulls away gently a few moments later, picking Beth up. Tyreese comes over and helps me, I shake my head at the wheelchair and just walk, more like limp, out of the hospital. We see Maggie with a huge grin on and tears fall down my face as I see her next reaction when she sees Beth. She falls to the ground, Glen comforts her and his eyes meet mine. 'Are you okay?' his eyes ask and I shrug lightly, only he can see it.
Okay, sorry this is late and really short. I probably won't add any on until the next episode. I might add Leyna's POV, but I've been real busy and stuff. Please rate, follow, comment, favorite and review. ;) Thanks so much for reading the stuff I love.
