It was about 11 at night when Maggie and i left for the next town over. Yea it was dangerous going out at night, but we had a very good reason to. No one could know. We came across an old Walgreens and Maggie banged on the windows and we waited for a few minutes to see if anything popped up. I sat on the ledge just starring at the ground.mhow ou,d I be so stupid? Would daryl leave me? Would everyone hate me? I took a deep breath and when nothing responded to Maggie's noise, we aimed our weapons and went inside. We hastily looked around to make sure it was clear. I took left, Maggie took right.
"Clear!" I whisper yelled.
"clear!" She responded.
i lowered my weapon and walked over to the woman's department. I sighed and hesitantly grabbed the little pink box. I just looked at it, trying to calm myself down. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder and I looked to see it was Maggie trying to give me a reassuring smile. I smiled back fakely. I sighed and opened the box, emptying its contents into my hand. We walked over to the women's bathroom. I looked to Maggie one last time with fear in my eyes before heading into the bathroom. I took a deep breath and did my business, setting the stick on the sink where it had to wait for 3 minutes. I set it facing down, I didn't want to see the results right away. I looked at myself in the mirror. I barely was recognizable. I was disgusting, still bruised everywhere by the governor. I hated my reflection. I couldn't control my anger so I punched the mirror and it shattered, sending pieces of glass into my hand. I yelped in pain as Maggie nursed in the door,
"what happened! Are you ok!"
she looked down at my now bleeding hand and quickly wripped a piece of my shirt and tied it around it.
"Wat happened kayla?" She asked.
"I saw my reflection, it pissed me off so I punched the mirror." I whispered avoiding eye contact.
she didn't say anything, but I heard her sigh,"the test?"
o yea, it had to have been more than 3 minutes. I took a deep breath and turned to grab the stick. Please be negative. Please be negative. I flipped the stick over and started shaking. There looking up at me was a pink plus sign. I felt Maggie looking over my shoulder and it became all too real when I heard her gasp. I felt weak, I couldn't stop shaking, and soon enough I couldn't keep standing. I slowly slid to the ground and Maggie caught me as I cried into her shoulder. I felt her arm moving up and down my back trying to soothe me.
"Shhh. Shh. It'll all be ok." She whispered.
"no it won't Maggie! Daryls going to hate me!" I cried.
"no he won't. He be shocked first, but he won't hate you" she whispered.
"I'm going to die Maggie. Lori died during child birth! This is it. This is the end for me!" I cried.
she pulled me away and made me look at her," no this is not the end for you. We'll be ready. Daddy will help you. Lori's went all wrong. Kayla you are a fighter, a survivor and this baby? This baby is made up of the two strongest people I've ever met."
I wiped a tear from my face and was about to say something when we started hearing crashes from inside the store. We both quickly sprung to our feet and grabbed our weapons. I tuck the test into my back pocket and we quietly opened the door to see what was going on. My heart dropped when we saw a heard of walkers breaking into the store. She quickly shut the door and turned to me,
"we gotta get out of here. If we stay in here we'll die." She whispered.
I nodded and raised my dads gun. Inside we both knew there was too many walkers for just 2 to take out. We probably wouldn't make it out of this. I should've listened to daryl.

finally it was over. He was gone. He was dead. One less thing I had to worry about hurting my family. hurting my wife. The governor was dead, I got the pleasure myself with shooting the arrow into his chest that ended that bastards life. I had to keep the promise to my wife though, the shot was fatal, but it would kill him slowly which pleased me. We were heading back to the prison when we passed by the next town over. I drove up to Rick and said,
"hey ya mind if we make a pit stop? Wanna get kayla some medicine."
"ya of course. There's a Walgreens right ahead." He yelled from his car.
i nodded and we turned into the town. We started to pull up to the Walgreens and we stopped immediately seeing a herd breaking into it. It wasn't that big of a herd, with our group we could easily take em out. Rick pulled up next to me and I saw Merle in the passenger seat, michonne in the back.
"Would we turn around, try somewhere else?" She asked.
"ain't another store like this for miles." Rick said.
"She needs it. I'm going in." I put the bike stand up and got off it.
"I'm comin with ya." I heard merle opening the car door.
Rick put the car in park and they all got out and we made our way to the store. There had to be something in there for them walkers to be going as crazy as they were. They hadn't even noticed us. Rick looked like he read my mind,
"they're after something"
"is it worth it?" Michonne asked.
"head back if ya want. I need that medicine" I grunted.
i started walking towards the store when my heart dropped. Gunshots started coming from the store followed by screams. Female screams. My head immediately went to kayla. No she was at the prison. It couldn't be her. They screamed again and this time a name was screamed,
"kayla!"
that was it! I ran as fast as I could with the others behind me. We started taking down walkers everywhere. When we cleared one area we saw where on of the screams belonged. Maggie was on the floor, leg cut. Rick and michonne ran to her,
"are you alright" Rick asked.
she was holding her leg,"fine just fell"
Gunshots rang out from the other side of the store and Maggie's eyes got wide. I looked back to her and she said,
"daryl, kayla....she's over there! "
my breathing hitched and I looked to Rick. He looked equally as worried and ran with me to the other side of the store leaving my brother and michonne with Maggie.
"Get her back to the car!" Rick called to them and they nodded.
we followed the gun shots to the other side of the store. My heart pounded when I stopped hearing them being fired. Dammit can't you listen to me for once woman!

Out of bullets. Great! I quickly climbed to the top of a shelf as arms of the undead reached for me. I guess this was it. This is how my baby and I will die. The walkers started rocking the shelf I was on back and forth trying to knock it over and all I could do was wait. Wait for it to happen. The shelf was nearly knocked over when an arrow shot by and hit one of them right in the head. Wait an arrow? No I had to be hallucinating. More arrows started firing and now gunfire as well. I looked up and out of the fog came my father and my husband. How did they find me? That doesn't matter now. They were busy shooting at other walkers when one was coming up behind daryl. He hadn't noticed it.
"daryl watch out!" I screamed.
he looked to me and then behind him, shooting it down instantly. I smiled, but I quickly faded when the shelf was pushed again, this time it was going down.
"Daryl!" I screamed as it fell.
i closed my eyes waiting for the impact that never came. Instead I heard a grunt. I opened my eyes to see I wasn't on the floor, but in the arms of the man I love. I smiled up at him, but he just glared at me. Ya he was pissed. He looked back up to Rick and yelled,
"lets go!"
rick nodded and we ran out of the store. Merle and michonne were already in the car with Maggie. I gave a sigh of relief. She was ok. Rick ran to the car and daryl carried me over to his motorcycle. He put me down on it and went to get on himself.
"daryl." I whispered.
"not now." He said and started the engine.
I wrapped my arms around him as we headed back to the prison. How I'm the world was I going to tell everyone?
