She entered the building with anger burning in her blind eyes. She didn't know what came over her out near the barn with all the Splicers all she knew was that the little girl Daryl risked his life for was dead. She was nothing more than a corpse lying on the ground with the rest of the deranged Splicers.
"The hell was that, Lilliann?" Amber asked as she stormed into the house. The door slammed behind the fiery girl as Lilliann took a seat at the wooden table. She patted her fingers on top the table creating a light thudding noise while Amber attempted to calm down.
"I have no idea what you mean."
"Bullshit, you know exactly what I mean. Out there by the barn your words, why the hell did you say them?"
"Why do we say anything?"
"Don't you fucking dare become all Alice in Wonderland on me."
"Look everyone knew the girl was dead, I was the only one that knew she was in the barn."
"How long did you know?"
"Long enough,"
"How long did you know?!" Amber's teeth bared behind her chapped lips as she growled in front of her friend.
"I found out this morning, after I replenished my body with Adam. I sensed all of them and when I took a closer look I noticed one was shorter than the rest, I figured it was the girl."
"Why didn't you say anything to me or Redneck?" hurt dribbled onto Amber's words, slowly replacing the anger.
"I didn't want to hurt him but then, then he slapped me so I didn't care if he was hurt or not."
"What you whispered before that girl's death when the first Splicer approached you, you were going to let him eat you weren't you?"
"It would've proven-"
"Proven what?"
"It would've proven that no one gives a fuck about me! I'm just the blind girl everyone wants to protect, I can defend myself!" Lilliann heard Amber's breath catch in her throat as Lilliann got up and walked back outside. She passed Hershel on her way as he told the small group to get off his land. She passed through them all, shoving through with her shoulders, while trying to make her way towards the forest. When she was clear of the group Lilliann picked up speed and began to sprint towards the trees. She heard many of them call out her name but no one dared to chase her.
"Lilliann!" she heard Amber and Daryl call out but she never turned around. She passed the fence and continued to run. She finally made it to a tree where she could rest under the shade. She heard the clatter of footsteps as the person got near. The steps were too heavy to be Amber's and it was hard to tell who it was from Lilliann's constant panting. The steps got closer and finally reached Lilliann's tree. She let out a screech when the person tackled her to the ground and held her tight in their hands.
"What the hell you think you're doin'?" his husky voice was brought onto her face with his warm breath.
"I went for a walk."
"That wasn't walkin' you were running, why?" she heard the concern in his voice that he tried to hide with anger.
"Why do you care?"
"Because, I do."
"That's not a reason."
"It's the only reason you're gonna get." Lilliann tried to squirm free from Daryl's grasp but he held on tight, leaving bruises on her arms.
"Give me a clear reason and I'll let you walk with me!" Daryl's grip finally let up enough as he sat in front of the blind girl. She rubbed her bruising arms as she sat up.
"I care about you, I don't want you runnin' off without someone with you."
"You care about me?"
"Ya I care about you, what the hell make you think I didn'?"
"You left a bruise on my cheek." His anger disappeared as he remembered slapping her earlier and how much he regretted doing that. They both stayed silent until Daryl groaned and began to get to his knees, claiming that they should start their walk. He held out his hand for her but she smacked it away, getting to her feet on her own.
"So why'd you want to go on a walk?"
"It helps me clear my head, I haven't been able to clear my head for a while." They picked their way through the trees, crushing twigs and leaves.
"I used to take walks too, back before all this shit hit."
"How was your life before all this?"
"It was hell," Lilliann let out a light chuckle as she climbed over a fallen tree, "what's so funny?"
"You think your life was hell, you have no idea."
"Oh really? Well how about you give me some sorta idea?"
"Fine, I was born under the water in Rapture. I was born for only one reason and that was to be perfect. Of course being blind made that a dream for my father. I was eleven when we left and came to the surface."
"What's Rapture?"
"Rapture was supposed to be the perfect civilization, there was supposed to be no crime or illness just perfection. My father created Adam and Eve, super drugs that were supposed to heal the mind and create the perfect person. It back fired greatly as you can see."
"You mean that liquid you drank was Adam? That your father is the cause of all this?"
"That's what I'm saying. Amber and I were once called Little Sisters, our job was to gather the Adam for my father so he could sell it to the Splicers and get rich. But the Splicers caught on and began to kill Little Sisters for their Adam. Before we left I watched countless friends being devoured by Splicers."
"You watched them?"
"When I'm low on Adam, I switch personalities because my brain goes into hyper drive and my vision is restored."
"So why do you keep drinkin' Adam if you can see without it?"
"Because without Adam, I kill people for the pure pleasure of killing them." She heard Daryl's footsteps stop as he gazed at the girl with frightful eyes. She looked down at the ground and swallowed back the fear of him leaving her alone.
"Well if that's the case, wheneva you're low on Adam you come get me and we'll get you some more, ok?"
"Really?" tears began to form in her blind eyes as Daryl took a step closer to her.
"Really." Lilliann wiped away a few stray tears and began walking again, Daryl close beside her.
"Now you tell me a little bit about your life."
"Well it wasn't as hell based as yours."
"Come on I told you mine."
"Fine, fine. I grew up in a small trailer in the woods. It was just me, my older brother Merle and my dad. My dad was an alcoholic who never really gave a damn where we went as long as we didn't disturb him. Merle was never around cause he was always gettin' in trouble at school and with the cops. I basically was on my own."
"Oh wow, you were right."
"Huh?"
"Your story really isn't as bad as mine. What happened to your dad?"
"Dunno. I wasn't able to find him when the world went to shit. What about yours?"
"I killed him, with a baseball bat." They went silent again and continued to walk.
"We should head back, it's gettin' late." Daryl took her hand and steered her back towards the farm.
"I heard you yell at Lori today." Lilliann whispered as they entered the farm land. Daryl stopped dead in his tracks and looked at the girl.
"Well ya, I'm done lookin' for people. I'm no one's babysitter." He snorted.
"If you're done looking for people why did you look for me?"
"You- you're a special case. Come on let's go." He took her wrist once again and they began to walk.
"Wait Daryl! Something's wrong." Lilliann suddenly stopped at searched around wildly as if trying to make her eyes see what was wrong.
"What-" before the man was able to finish his sentence they both heard someone scream.
"Daryl hurry go, go save him! It's Dale!" Lilliann began to push Daryl towards the screaming man as he let out another cry of terror. Daryl took off sprinting in the man's direction as Lilliann headed towards the house. Many people passed her as she sprinted as fast as her feet could go towards her room. She kept asking why she hadn't brought her satchel with her as she raced through the door. She broke open the latch and ran up the stairs, Amber asking what was going on. Lilliann was only able to mutter out a few breathless words as she grabbed her satchel and headed towards Dale.
Dale was surrounded by everyone as Lilliann fell to her knees in front of him. She quickly opened her bag and searched it with her hands. She pulled out various glowing red vials and her syringe all not what she wanted. Everyone discussed what to do as Lilliann continued to search.
"Found it!" she screamed, holding up a blue syringe.
"No Lilliann, you can't waste Eve like that!" Amber yelled putting her hands on the syringe.
"I can save Dale, don't you try and stop me Amber!" Lilliann ripped the blue thing from Amber's hands and stabbed Dale with it, right in the heart. Dale looked around with wild, almost dead eyes as Lilliann slammed the top of the shot and emptied the blue liquid into Dale's body. He jerked around as the blue liquid flowed throughout his veins. Everyone stared in amazement as his body glowed, his veins and arteries resembled lightning as the Eve coursed through them in time with his dying heart. Slowly his stomach began to stitch itself together, one skin tissue at a time never letting blood escape through the open wound. His wild eyes began to close as Daryl aimed a gun at his head. Lilliann lifted her hands to the weapon, the glowing body reflected in her clear eyes.
"I can't believe this," Amber kept whispering the words as they all watched Dale being stitched together by an unknown force. The wound finally closed and they could hear the rough gasps of breath that Dale took. He reopened his eyes; Daryl cocked the gun but Lilliann's hands where still in his way. She bent down over the body and stared into his closed eyes as they slowly fluttered open. He coughed up a few blue drops of Eve as he sat up. Dale looked around, his eyes resting on everyone's face for a few moments. His gaze landed on Lilliann's as she smiled at him.
"Welcome back Dale, how do you feel?" she asked, not moving from his gaze.
"I-I feel fine." Dale looked at his body in shock, rubbing his hands over the now closed wound.
"What the fuck did you do?" Daryl asked, his gun still pointed at Dale's hand.
"She did nothing but waste Eve." Amber stalked off back into the house.
"Well she's angry." Dale remarked as the women began to hug and kiss him. Lilliann got to her feet and brushed off the dirt before chasing after Amber. They both ended up outside of the house, screaming at each other. The rest of the group, Shane and Rick carrying Dale, surrounded the two hostile friends as they spat insults at each other.
"How could you just waste it like that?"
"I didn't waste it, I saved a life!"
"What if something happens to you? How the hell am I supposed to save you?"
"Easy with other vial of Eve I have, if that's not enough I'll go to Rapture myself and get more to make you happy!"
"God damn it Lilliann, take this serious! You can't just waltz right into that hell grab some eve then waltz right out!"
"Well what do you want from me?"
"I, I want you to stop being so stupid and helpless all the time."
"Helpless? You think I'm helpless?"
"You've always been helpless ever since you were born; you were nothing but a helpless, crying baby!" Amber got in Lilliann's face both their eyes beginning to glow a dangerous yellow. Lilliann bared her teeth before landing the first punch right into Amber's left cheek. The black haired girl landed on her hands and knees but got up quick just in time to dodge Lilliann's foot. The two girls began to wrestle on the ground, pulling hair biting arms and trying to land more punches and kicks. Red hair was tangled between Amber's fingers as coal hair was intertwined in Lilliann's hands.
Finally Daryl and Hershel were able to rip the girls apart, ending the catfight. They were still kicking and screaming as Daryl carried Lilliann into his tent and Hershel threw Amber into the house. Daryl zipped the tent behind him as Lilliann sat on his cot, thumbing together her fingers.
"Holy shit."
"Don't criticize me,"
"I ain't criticizin' you, I'm shocked. I had no idea that tiny frame of yours could throw a punch."
"Well I had to learn to fight; I told you where I grew up."
"Well yeah but damn I never would've believed if I hadn't just witnessed in with my own eyes." Lilliann let out a light laugh as Daryl sat next to her. The moonlight pooled into the tiny tent as they both continued to marvel at how well of a fighter Lilliann actually was. Her eyes soon became clear again, the yellow disappearing as did her anger towards her friend.
"Well I should head inside for some sleep."
"Hell no, you're sleepin' in here tonight. I can keep an eye on you so you don't go throwin' more punches." Daryl went to unzip the tent when there was a knock on the other side. Daryl opened the door to find Carol on the outside, a stack of blankets in one hand and a few pillows in the other.
"I thought you might need these for more comfort, you know a little easier on your injuries. Hello Lilliann." Carol gave a light smile as she handed Daryl the blankets and pillows. He thanked her, closed the curtain and began to set up his bed on the floor.
"Won't you be uncomfortable?" Lilliann asked as she lay down on the tiny bed.
"Naw, I'll be fine besides there ain't enough room for both of us on that tiny thing." Daryl said as they both covered their bodies with blankets. Lilliann whispered a quiet goodnight to Daryl and she heard him whisper it back a few moments later. Then she heard the steady breathing as he drifted into sleep, it wasn't long till she joined him.
