A/N: Ok So I am trying to make these longer and I hope you are all enjoying these chapters. This one doesn't truly go with the show and I'm trying to kind of make this my own story, I know I'm failing already but I am trying! Anyways please leave a review and tell me what you think. Thanks.
The air in the small house was thick as Dale blew out another lamp. He made his way towards her door and Lilliann's ears picked up his knuckles as they tapped against the wooden door.
"Lilliann, are you awake?" His voice was raspy ad held a tired lul. A smile played on the girl's lips as she opened the door and greeted the man.
"Yes I'm awake and dressed." The men came late last night carrying two bags full of clothing that they thought would fit the two 'new residents'. The jeans were a bit snug and the shirts draped over her shoulders. She had tucked the shirt under her belt loop and prayed that it looked alright. Her hair was in knots and she wasn't sure if she'd be able to smooth it out. The man led her down the hallway and into the sun warmed sidewalk.
"Careful, the sunlight is bright and hot today." Dale warned her as they began to walk down the street.
"Is there any grass near by?" Lilliann asked, sensing all the people around. There were a few children running around while mothers watched over them in chairs.
"Sure, here its a little to your left." Dale's hands wrapped around her shoulders and led her onto the grassy land. It was cooler than the sidewalk and Lilliann could relax without the fear of burning her feet.
"Lilliann! Dale!" Andrea's voice broke through the sound barrier and the two friends turned towards the woman as her and Michonne ran down the hill.
"Glad to see you both are alright." Michonne said, putting a hand on Lilliann's shoulder.
"Glad to see you're alright to! Did you both sleep well?" the young girl asked, trying to see her friends' faces.
"I did Michonne didn't really sleep well."
"Why not?" Dale asked, looking at the new woman with curiosity.
"I don't trust this place, or these 'people'." Michonne's voice shuddered as her head whipped around making sure no one could hear.
"I think this place is safe, there's a wall and food and weapons to keep us safe." A smile played on the red head's lips as her arms widened and she spinned around.
"That may be true but don't you want to see our friends again?" Andrea asked.
"I thought you were with me on staying Andrea?"
"I am Lilliann but I think we need to go and find them, maybe even bring them back here. We can all stay here!"
"I don't think Rick will be alright with that." Dale pitched in.
"Why not?" Lilliann asked.
"Rick's not the kind of guy to just settle down without asking questions; he's be like Michonne is right now."
"I don't think so, especially with Lori being pregnant."
"Lori's pregnant?" Andrea asked, her hands on Lilliann's shoulders.
"Yeah, I over heard her and Rick talking about it before the barn set on fire."
"Then we need to find them, Lori could have that child any minute now." Andrea's voice was worried and Lilliann could only guess her eyes were just the same.
"How about Lilliann and I go, we'll scout the area and come back before dusk. They may be close by." Dale suggested.
"I'll be ok with that,"
"But neither of you have any weapons." Michonne claimed, reminding them all that The Governor took them when they first arrived.
"I'll go get them," Lilliann sprinted down the road, towards the hospital that. She kept running until she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist.
"Wow there little missy, you better be careful." his voice was a whisper behind her ear that sent chills down her spine and created goose bumps on her arms and legs.
"I just wanted to know if our weapons were here and if we could get them." Lilliann turned towards the man as he released her waist, undoing some of her tucked in shirt.
"Well sure you can have your weapons back, any particle reason?"
"Dale and I are going to go and try to find our friends, we'll scout out the area and see if they're close by before dusk."
"Just you and Dale?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Well I don't feel safe just letting a blind little girl outside this town, it's very dangerous out there."
"I know, I was out there all winter. We can handle ourselves, I'm not completely blind."
"How so?"
"I don't feel like sharing that with you, just yet." Lilliann found herself taking a few steps away from the man and turning her back to him as her hands tried to find the handle.
"Your weapons are not in there, follow me and I'll retrieve them for you." The Governor tapped her shoulder in the direction he was heading in and she slowly followed him, not letting her guard down. The man lead her up hill and towards a much bigger house than the one her and Dale were sleeping in. The two stepped into the small house and made their way through the clutter, surprising a small person in the other room.
"Oh hello, Governor and Lilliann."
"Hello Milton, how are you this morning?"
"I'm fine, how did you sleep?"
"I slept well," the two shared a light conversation as the other man walked into another room. Lilliann was about to follow him when she felt Milton grab her hand.
"That's his study, no one is really allowed in there."
"Why?"
"It's just a rule, no one's really questioned it. Um, if you don't mind can I ask you a few questions?"
"About what?"
"About your life before all this and how your able to see with your feet." Milton helped Lilliann sit down at the small table he was recently occupying.
"I'll tell you a little bit but don't push for answers." Lilliann's eyes narrowed as she tried to focus on what was happening behind the door that The Governor disappeared into. She could sense two people behind that door, which was curious for her since Milton just said no one was allowed in there. She quickly answered most of his questions but suddenly stopped when the door opened and only person stepped through. The other was still behind that door and it worried the blind girl.
"Here are your weapons, if you're not back before dusk I'll send Merle out to find you; he's a good tracker." The Governor helped Lilliann to her feet and handed all the stuff back to her. It was in a small duffel bag and she could hear the clatter of the metal guns as she walked out the door and back into the sunlight. She strolled down the hill and found her three friends under a tree, escaping the heat. Sweat beaded down her forehead as she handed Dale the bag and they prepared for the search.
The sun was still high in the sky when they approached the wall. Men were on top of it and glared down at them as they got closer.
"Excuse me, could you please open this gate?"
"Why?" a husky mexican accent shot back at Lilliann, with curiosity and anger.
"We want to leave, we'll be back before dusk."
"And who said you two could just leave then return?"
"I did, Martinez." The Governor strolled behind the two, creating more goose bumps on Lilliann's arms.
"Oh alright then. We'll open it up, just a second." there was a loud creaking noise as the doors opened before them and allowed them to pass. The forest was quiet and motionless as they began to walk along the main road.
"Tell me when we're out of sight, I can do a quick scope and see how dangerous it is out here." Lilliann commanded and Dale quickly grabbed onto her arm and lead her deep into the forest.
"We should be good here." he claimed. Lilliann nodded in agreement and slowly closed her eyes. All the Adam in her blood rushed towards her feet, focusing on scouting out the area. There were a few Splicers miles away and more further down the road. Hallowed out trees were scattered everywhere. Before Lilliann was about to give up someone moved a few miles up the road and disappeared out of her range.
"Dale, this way. Someone was just walking down the road, it could be one of our friends." Liliann quickly began to sprint down the road with Dale on her heels. They tried to make it as far down the road as possible but they both knew that the sun lowering below the horizon.
They were half way towards the person when one of Lilliann's feet went limp. She tumbled onto the dirt path and Dale was quickly helping her to her feet. There was a burning on her knee and she quickly covered the searing pain with her hands. A warm liquid beaded onto her palms and her eyes quickly widened.
"Lilliann are you alright? That was a nasty fall you just took."
"I'm fine but my knee was cut open, Dale we have to get out of here before the Splicers smell the Adam!"
"They can smell the Adam that's inside you?"
"Not only can they smell it but it'll drive them crazy searching for it." Lilliann quickly got to her feet as they both began to hear the moaning of hunger from behind the trees. Before they could even take a step back, they were almost completely surrounded with Splicers.
"Lilliann, run! I'll hold them off!" Dale screamed at the girl and pushed her back towards Woodbury.
"No Dale! I can't just leave you, you won't make it!"
"I know that but you said it once on the farm, you are the savior of the people! You need to survive!" Dale looked at the young girl as tears streaked down her face. She regained her balance and stood next to the elderly man, raising her metal bat at the enemy.
"I am not leaving you here to die and that's final." they both looked into each others eyes as the first Splicer ran towards them. There was a loud shooting from behind them as a truck swerved around them. Someone opened the door and called for them to get in as fast as possible. Splicers clawed at the metal frame as Dale tried to help Lilliann inside. Suddenly his arm was jerked away from her and Lilliann once again fell to the ground, hearing Dale scream out in pain.
"Hurry up and grab her!" The Governor's voice was harsh as Lilliann tried to get up and help Dale. He continued to scream out in pain as more Splicers gathered around him, digging into his flesh.
"Dale! No!" more tears ran down her cheeks as Lilliann tried to grab onto Dale, she had one more thing of Eve left that can save him; she had to save him.
"Why don't we just leave them?" Merle's voice was slurry as he reached for the door.
"No Merle, if you leave her and we find Daryl he might not forgive you." Andrea's voice was the next thing she heard and she knew the two of them shared an intense glare.
"And why is that Blondie?"
"Because I'm pretty sure Daryl wants her to survive."
"God damn it! Come on you bitch and get in the truck!" Merle yelled at Lilliann but when he saw that she was still trying to reach out for Dale he wrapped his un-bladed arm around her waist and forced her inside. Lillann landed on Andrea's lap and was held close to the woman's chest as Merle slammed the door shut and they were able to escape.
"Shh, it's going to be alright." Andrea stroked Lilliann's hair as the two embraced in a tight, tear drenched hug.
"Its a good thing we decided to look for you, you might've died with your friend." The Governor looked over at the two women as Merle just puffed out air from his mouth.
"Dale...Dale..." his name was the only thing Lilliann whispered as they drove back towards the town.
This was madness! Hershel was finally awake and moving around, everything feeling fine and now Carol, T-Dog and I are running through dark tunnels trying to survive; all because someone turned on the alarm and let the Splicers in.
"T-Dog how are you holding up?" I turned my head and asked the big black man as he tried to continue to run with us. His shoulder was drenched in blood and it wasn't getting any better. I could hear the few drops of blood as they fell onto the concrete ground.
"Amber how did you make that drill thing appear out there?" Carol asked, trying to help the man keep up with us.
"It's built into my body, Lilliann has one also. It's actually part of an entire suit, we used them back in Rapture to protect ourselves when our Big Daddy's were killed off by Splicers. It takes a lot of Adam to create the suit but the drill hardly takes any, I should be able to protect us if needed."
"Well Amber, don't hesitate as soon as either of you feel a fever on me take that drill and jam it in my head."
"T-Dog, it won't come to that; I promise." I said as we rounded another corner. There were Splicers coming our way, there weren't many and my drill came in contact with the first one. Blood sprayed onto her face and drenched her blue tank top. Carol and T-Dog were right behind me, both of them raising their knives. We quickly cleared out the small section and continued to run.
"Where should we go?" Carol asked as T-Dog fell onto the ground. His chest tried to raise as he attempted to fill his lungs with oxygen but for some reason he couldn't. Carol and I were right by his side as he looked at me with wild, pain filled eyes. Tears rolled down our cheeks as I laid a hand on his forehead.
"He's warm." I looked at Carol as she hugged onto T-Dog's chest and cried as quietly as possible.
"Amber...pl...ease..." T-Dog tried to gasp out the words and I nodded in agreement. Carol held out her hands and begged me not do it.
"Carol, he's suffering! We can't let him turn," I moved her hands down and pushed her out of the way. I face the pain crippled man as he looked at me with a smile on his face. T-Dog was a loyal friend and a great ally, "T-Dog you will be missed, greatly. I love you old friend."
"Amber don't!" Carol screamed out as my drill made contact with the black man's face. His body jerked with the searing pain and held onto my drill hand to steady it as I looked away. I couldn't stare at him as his face was being mutilated by own blades. Carol put her hands on my shoulders and tried, wimply to push me away. Finally my legs gave out and I allowed her to push me into the cement wall, tears streaming down our already swollen cheeks. Carol was once again by T-Dog's side, claiming how much she'll miss him.
"Carol, we have to find safety." I tried to pull the sobbing girl off the man and she finally gave up and followed me as we walked down the dark hallways, killing Splicers that got in our way.
