Daniela's POV

Daryl had finally opened up to me as I did with him. I told him about Steven, my fiancée and how he died in the early stages of the change. I found myself able to talk about it better than I ever had, I guess I had finally been able to talk about it.

Daryl told me about the girl he was with before I found him, he said she was the one who changed his view of the world, someone who gave him hope. I could tell he really liked her, even though he never said it, I knew he did.

When he told me what happened the night they split up, I couldn't help but not make sense of it. Maybe she was taken maybe she was kidnapped, I thought. But I never would have assumed she died. I wanted to make Daryl feel better, so I expressed my thoughts on it and said, she may still be out there. And I really believed she could be.

It was just hard to lose a person who had become such a big part of your life, I know it's the apocalypse but we will never be able to get use to deaths, we'll will just learn how to mourn them.

The next few days we continued our travel, it was still slowly moving as we had to stop frequently. The place we were headed too was in the city, the city was a dangerous place to be, there were tons of walkers.

About 2 miles out we left the car and continued on foot, we were going to head into the Grady memorial hospital. We walked cautiously down the streets of Atlanta securing the area making sure we wouldn't be spotted by walkers or run into a herd.

We were just around the block from the hospital when we saw a car drive very fast past us and into the direction of the hospital. Daryl and I stood back hiding but keeping an eye on the car. We noticed these two men in police uniforms came out of the car and into the hospital.

"You think they're living in there? Why are they in uniforms too?" I said.

"I don't know but, you know what that means? We won't be able to go in there."

He was right, we were screwed, everything we needed was supposed to be in that hospital, there was no way we were going to be able to get by them, they probably had all the medication locked up.

"We can look for something else, maybe there's a pharmacy that hasn't been wiped out?" Daryl suggested.

I was too mad I couldn't believe we had come all this way only to find that we had no chance of getting what we needed.

After I got over my anger I agreed with Daryl's plan to find a pharmacy, we were at risk being in the city but now, we had to go deeper into the city making it even more dangerous for us. I didn't know about this, I just had a bad feeling.

Daryl's POV

Since we couldn't get into the hospital we had to go find somewhere else to get medicine. It sucks cause the city ain't a safe place and we'll have to go farther into it.

Daniela had a map with her so we were able to find a pharmacy she was familiar with.

"We need to get up high, on one of these buildings to check out that area, make sure there ain't headed towards a herd of walkers." I said.

So we went inside one of the tallest buildings close to the area. We ran into a walker here and there but got a good view of the area we were headed too and came up with a plan. On our way back down Daniela went through a tight spot of two cracked doors and I followed, "Daryl don't!" she yelled but I was already going through the doors.

I looked up and there was this guy, he was young, dark skin, he pointed a gun at us. "Give me your weapons!" He said.

Daniela handed over her rifle and crossbow. I slowly handed my rifle, "The crossbow too!" he yelled.

"Whatchu need two crossbows for?" I said. "You'll shoot me with it!" He said,

I slowly handed over my crossbow. He then forced us to turn around and left running.

I was really pissed at this point, he took my crossbow! "Luckily he didn't search us," Daniela said pulling out her handgun, I pulled out mine.

Then we ran after the kid.

He was gimpy so he didn't get far before we ran into him in one of the hallways. He shot at us and we shot back, I got close enough that I punched him and he fell causing a cabinet to fall on his leg, he was stuck underneath.

He called for us to help him but I wasn't going to help him, I grabbed my crossbow and rifle Daniela grabbed hers. "We can't just leave him there." Daniela said, "I ain't helping him." I said.

We were walking out when Daniela turned back and tried lifting the cabinet, it was too heavy for her so I gave in and helped her.

"Thank you!" The kid said, "You shot at us!" I yelled. "I'm sorry, I just needed weapons to get back home!" He claimed.

"Where are you coming from?" Daniela asked. "I was at Grady memorial hospital, they kept me there to work for them." he said.

"Who did?!" I asked. "These people, they use to be police officers, they have a bad system, if they help you out, you have to work for them but they never let you go. I escaped, I made it out and just want to get back to my family." he explained.

"You with those people from the hospital?" I made sure.

"Yeah." he answered.

"That's where we were headed, we needed medicine for the others back at the camp!" Daniela said.

"Na there ain't no way you can get anything from them, they got everything locked up, if you get in you won't make it out." he said.
