Savannah POV
Was I dead? I wasn't too sure...I couldn't feel pain anymore...Just...silence filled the air...I walked forward, I felt strong again…not weak like I had been feeling before…
There was no one around...absolutely no one...I was in the forest...It seemed familiar…it looked like the forest near camp…
Walking around, I could see off in the distance, Daryl and Rick were running into the RV, carrying something into it. Everyone around the camp crowded around the RV. But what was it?
I saw Andrea ahead and ran over.
"What's going on?" I asked concerned
She didn't answer…
"Andrea, why aren't you answering me? Lori?" I yelled over to Lori, but yet again got no answer.
What was happening?
I walked slowly into the trailer to see what they were crowding around. What I saw before me, I never even thought possible...What I saw, scared me…and made me feel like my whole world was crashing down…There in front of me...lay my own body…
My whole body looked a mess...my leg was bleeding...bruises starting all over my face, hand marks could be seen where Jon had choked me…
Daryl sat by my side, his blue eyes filled with worry…
"Daryl please you have to make room! We have to help her before she loses too much blood!" Lori yelled at him
"Shut up you dumb bitch! I...I ain't leaving her!" His voice sounded helpless
Lori and Carol worked over my body as Daryl held my hand. I couldn't believe what was happening right now...It was unreal...I was witnessing my own death...and I could do nothing to stop it…
"You do have a choice you know…" a voice came from behind me
I jumped a bit and turned around seeing a little girl, she had long black wavy hair, tanned skin and big brown eyes...It...It was me...when I was little…
"You have a choice…You can give up...Leave this and everyone behind...and come with me...Or...you can go back…" the girl said
"What do I have to go back to? No one would miss me...I am nothing…." I sighed
"That is far from the truth Savannah...look at what is going on...Daryl won't leave your side...Lori and Carol are by your side, trying to save you...and everyone else is waiting anxiously to see how you are...Daryl cares for you...more than he lets on...It would kill him to lose you…"
"I…"
"What? You do not believe me? I am you. I know you better than anyone...Why give up now? You have a life ahead of you"
"But what kind of life will I have with all of these Walkers about? Constantly on the run?"
"It's your life...and you have people around you to help you...people who love you…Think about it…" That's when she disappeared. Leaving me to watch what was happening.
Carol and Lori had left the RV to get more supplies. I looked down at my body, they had wrapped up my leg and cleaned my face up a bit. Daryl was alone with me, or at least...my body...His hand caressed my cheek, rubbing his thumb across it.
"Cmon Italia...don't give up...don't leave me now...Shit….cmon! Stop this! Come back to me!" he said, his voice cracking
He leant his forehead against mine, closing his eyes for a minute and then looking at me. Daryl slowly pressed his lips to mine, a single tear falling from his face.
That's when I made my decision...I wasn't going to give up...I couldn't...It may be not the best life...but it was still my life...And I wasn't about to give up….
It was a weird experience to be outside my body, and when I was back in it...I was pleased...All the pain seemed to flood back into my body. I slowly opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was Daryl.
"Daryl…?" I said weakly
Daryl's eyes immediately went to mine and a flood of relief seemed to wash into them. In the same moment, he seemed to not be able to help himself, like that barrier that he had created was broken down...He crashed his lips to mine, applying firm but gentle enough not to hurt me. Tears flooded down my face as I kissed him back, ignoring all of the pain that filled me. His tongue lightly grazed my lips, and slipped passed them, exploring the depths of my mouth. It wrestled with mine, causing me to moan as his talented tongue explored my mouth. My hands gently wrapped around his neck, bringing him closer to me.
He gently pulled back, resting his forehead against mine and closed his eyes. I weakly touched his face, and his clear blue eyes bored into mine.
"Don't you ever scare me like that...not ever again…"
I weakly smiled and kissed him again "I promise…"
