Arrowed Heart

Chapter two

I accidentally deleted chapter one while fixing it so here's chapter 2 and up for now.

This will also be edited in the future.

Warning: slight swearing in this chapter and mentions of child abuse.

(This is set where Rick wakes up in the hospital)

I woke up to the smell of rotting corpses.

Sitting up I looked around the room and noticed that it looked kind of off like something was wrong.

I stood up and checked some drawer's for some clothes but I couldn't find any.

Opening the door I looked outside and seen a man moving a bed away from his door.

The man spotted me and started walking well limping towards me.

"Are you okay" the man asked.

"Yes" I said just above a whisper.

"Rick Grimes" the man introduced himself.

"Maxine Peletier" I said introducing myself.

Rick gently took my hand and started walking with me beside him.

I had my head down the whole time until I felt that Rick stopped.

Looking up I seen that Rick was picking up a box of matches.

"C'mon" he said and started walking again.

I started walking faster a bit so I wouldn't be dragged.

We started walking down the long hallway then stopped in front of a door.

"Don't dead open inside" I spoke.

"Don't open dead inside" Rick corrected me.

Well now I feel stupid.

I jumped seeing pale hands trying to grab me.

Rick grabbed me and started walking towards some stairs.

Opening the door to the stairs I noticed that it was really dark.

Rick got in front of me and started walking down the stairs with a lit match in his hand.

We made it to the bottom of the stairs.

I opened the door and immediately got blinded by the bright sun.

Rick covered my eyes for some reason as we exited the building.

He uncovered my eyes, I seen two bicycles lying on the ground next to a person.

Rick immediately pulled me back, he grabbed the bikes quickly.

The both of us got on a bike, I followed behind Rick.

We stopped by some house and Rick threw the bike before running into the house.

Quickly I ran after him, not wanting the man to get hurt.

Rick was on the floor crying, I walked over to him and looked down.

"Was this your house" I asked him.

Rick didn't say anything he just got up and ran out of the house.

I stood there for about a minute, deciding to give him some time.

Hearing Rick shout I ran outside to see him shouting at a man.

Without paying attention Rick got knocked out by a boy around my age.
