(Beth)

I ran with Violet and we hid behind a rock.

"Do you think the others are okay?" I asked her

"Yeah..." She held one of her knives.

"Just in case..."

I let out a sigh.

"I just wish I could remember anything..."

"You know...I was in your shoes once"

"Really?"

"Yeah, my brother and were roughhousing and I crashed into the bookshelf...it fell on top of me, I survived but I had amnesia"

"How did you get your memory back?"

"My brother said something...when I was four he was jealous of me getting all the attention, so jealous that he ran away...he returned eventually, he said the minute he came home he ran to my crib, held me and said that I was the best thing he never knew he needed...and when my memory was gone, he told me that same thing and something triggered all my memory"

"Mind me askin...what happened to your brother"

"Well...we got caught up with the saviors, Negan wanted to kill one of us, he chose me and then...my brother called him a coward...he didn't like that"

"What do you mean?"

"Negan...he took that dumb baseball bat, turned away from me...and right in front of me, he...smashed his head with his bat"

"That's terrible"

"Do you know what was worse?"

"What?"

"He was laughing about it, as he tried to get up he said he was "taking it like a champ...my brothers last words.. "happy birthday sis...I love you" and then, he died...in my arms, he wasn't supposed to die before me!" She buried her face into her palms, I couldn't help but wrap my arms around her.

"It's okay..." She threw her arms back around me, I could feel her tears soaking my shirt.

"It's okay..." I said

"...Shawn was the strongest person I knew...it's not fair"

"I'm so sorry Violet" I started crying myself.

"You're a good person Bethany...I hope your not lost forever"

"Me too" I wiped away a tear that was falling down her face.

Then someone was behind us, Violet quickly threw a knife and the man fell to the ground.

"...I panicked"

Someone was behind Violet with a gun getting ready to shoot her.

"Violet look out!" I pushed her out of the way and they tackled me to the ground.

"Bethany!"

The person that was going to attack Violet had a gun to my head, I acted quickly and pulled out my knife and rammed into their throat, the blood fell all over my face.

"Bethany!" Violet yelled and helped me up.

"Are you okay?"

I nodded my head.

"You saved my life...why?"

"Because, I'm sure you have a purpose in this world...you're just not ready yet to see your brother"

She ran up to me and hugged me, once again crying.

"Thanks Bethany..." She cried, I wrapped my arms around her again

"You're welcome..."
