I was sleeping, dreaming of Daryl and me when Glenn shook me awake. I opened my eyes slowly. I was to weak now to help with anything. I couldn't cook or even help Hershel make tea. I was useless.
"How are you feeling?" He asked leaning over me.
Truthfully? Like I was dying. But I'm simply told him like crap. He gave me a small smile gave me tea then left. I looked at the cup and started crying.
I cried until I feel asleep. I did that often now. It was the only way I could sleep.
. . .
'BANG'
I jerked awake at the sound of a gun going off and screams echoing off the walls.
I quickly looked over to my cell opening and to my horror saw Hershel pinned down by a walker.
Without thinking I grabbed my knife that I always kept under my pillow now and fell out of my bed.
It had been a day since I had last gotten up. I was to weak to do much walking around but to let Hershel die without trying? Unacceptable.
I did my best to stand up and instantly became lightheaded almost falling over. But still I managed to walk towards him and threw my body the last couple of feet landing on the walker and quickly killing it.
I pushed myself off of it and Hershel quickly pushed the walker off grabbing my gun that was on my hip and quickly taking out the other three on the ground with us. I would have used my gun but I'm so weak I didn't want to risk hitting Hershel.
"Get back in your cell" he said with a stern voice.
"I can help" I whizzed out. It was a lie and he saw right through it.
"No you can't. Now get back in there so I don't have to worry about you getting hurt" he said helping me up and giving me a gentle push before pulling the gate closed and locking me in.
"That necessary?" I asked sitting on my bed.
"Yes otherwise you would follow me." He said before walking away.
I gave a snort. He was right.
I wanted to stay awake and see what else was going on my that small amount of movement drained my energy and without wanting to I fell over exhausted.
. . .
"Hey. Eva wake up"
I opened my eyes and smiled at Hershel.
"Take this" he said handing me a few pills and some water.
"What is it?" I asked after taking them.
"The meds we've been waiting for." He said with a smile.
"They're back?" I asked as my throat tightened.
"Just came home" he said putting his arms out and helping me up.
I had just sat up when Daryl came into my line of sight. Hershel followed my eyes and rolled his.
"Told him to stay away. That I'd come get ya." He said but leaving the room otherwise.
Daryl wasted no time in enveloping me in a tight hug. We didn't say anything. We didn't have to. I just smiled.
. . .
The next time I opened my eyes it was dark.
I had passed out after being forced to run from A towards the entrance of the prison. I guess they left me.
I didn't hear the gun shots anymore. Or the screams. It was quite. People were either dead or had fled. The governor had come back. That's all I knew but as I walked out and saw our home overrun with walkers I knew he didn't come for a small chit chat. He had come to kill us all. It was dark but still the fire from the buildings surrounding me made the countless dead bodies shine.
. . .
