Amara'sPOV
Daryl and I awoke to shots being fired. We jumped out of bed pulling our boots on.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Walkers in D block." Jax said. "Alex and Amanda are in there."
Daryl and I took off running after Jax.
We entered and D block was in chaos.
We started checking for who had and hadn't been bit or scratched. Sending out the ones that were ok.
We found Alex helping a little boy who's mother had been bit.
"Alex get him out of here." I yelled.
Daryl and Jax were on the top floor checking those cells.
Dad and Ty were with me on the ground floor.
"Amanda?" I said. As I slowly approached her.
"Dont come close Amara." She said.
"I have to Amanda are you bit scratched?"
Looking closer I saw the bite on her arm.
"When did it happen?"
"A few minutes ago."
"Dad!" I yelled.
He came running."Amara you ok?"
"Amanda's bit on her arm happened a few minutes ago." I said.
"Alright let's do it." He grabbed his machete. "Daryl come hold her down."
"I'm sorry amanda we have to cut it off it might give you a chance." I said.
"Wait Amara." She moved her hair she had a smaller bite on her neck.
"Amanda No!" I cried.
"Its ok I'm not afraid." She said crying.
"You have to end it though dont let me turn."
"Amanda I'm so sorry." I said hugging her.
I held my gun up she looked at me smiled and closed her eyes.
"Daddy I can't."
I kissed her cheek and looked away.
Daryl hugged me as I cried onto his chest.
Dad pulled the trigger.
After everyone was killed or taken out.
We found Patrick dead in his cell.
"I think he just died." Glenn said.
"Horribly to pleurisy aspiration he choked on his own blood." Caleb said.
Caleb was a doctor that came from Woodbury.
"I saw this before on walkers outside the fences." Dad said.
"Is it a sickness from the walkers?" I asked.
No this has happened before all this is most like an aggressive strain of flu or pnemonia.
"Hell he was just eating barbecue yesterday." Daryl said.
"How do you die in a day just from a cold?" I asked.
"I had a sick pig died quick." Dad said.
"That's how these things spread in the past birds and pigs." Hershal said.
"Bugs like this like tight spaces we've all been exposed."Caleb said.
As we walked out Carl approached.
"Stay back Carl."
"I didn't see you or Amara come out I was worried." He said.
"Its ok but stay back theres some type of flu. It killed Patrick and we've been exposed. So you and Judith need to stay back."
After getting everyone that was sick or exposed into deathrow. Hershal and Caleb sat down to come up with a plan.
"I'll get to burying the dead ones." Daryl said.
"You wear gloves and a mask." Hershal said.
"Mmhm." he grunted.
"Are you okay? He asked.
"Gotta be right?" I said.
"I'm sorry about your friend."
"Thank you."
"Come on go get some air."
As we walked outside dad hollered for Daryl. The fence was starting to collapse from the weight of the walkers piling up.
Daryl and I ran down to help push boards under the fence.
Dad had an idea to pull some of the walkers away.
Him and Daryl took the baby pigs out feeding them to the walkers.
Later dad talked with Carl telling him the three of us should stay away from Judy. To keep her safe.
The next morning Ty was losing it. Someone had burned David and Karen alive. In an attempt to stop the spread of the disease.
Ty freaked on dad and Daryl when they tried to calm him down. I stepped in like an idiot when he choked Daryl causing him to knock me down. Dad flew into a rage and Daryl had to pull him off.
"Are you ok?" Daryl asked.
"Yea I'm fine my own fault not Ty's." I said.
"Ye gotta stop trying to save me girl." He smiled.
"You gona stop trying to save me?" I asked.
"Hell no." He said.
"Then no." I smiled and kissed his cheek.
A few hours later I started feeling sick. Weak and running a fever I went to cell block A to see Hershal.
"Amara what are you doing here? Its not safe." Hershal asked.
"I don't feel good. I'm weak running a fever."
Hershal had a look of concern and sadness on his face.
"Okay honey come on lets get you a bed. Tiffany and Alex are here to." He said.
"Oh no. Are they alright?" I asked.
"It's all gona be fine. Let's get you settled. Does Rick or Daryl know your here?"
"No and you can't tell Daryl till he gets back from the run to get the meds. I don't want him distracted."
"Okay just get laid down. Get some rest I'll check on you soon."
Rick's POV
"What can I do for you Hershal?"
"Rick, Amara's in A block she's sick."
I didn't wait for him to say anything else I ran to Amara.
"Rick I can't let you in." Caleb said.
"I want to see my daughter Caleb."
"Go around to the visitors entrance."
I got to the visitors booths. I could only talk to her through the glass.
"Hi daddy." She said. Looking weak.
"Hi sweetheart. How do you feel?"
"I'm ok don't worry."
"Don't lie to me Amara. Are you ok?"
"I dont feel good at all. I'm scared daddy."
"Don't cry baby. Your gona be okay Daryl's going to get meds he'll be back and you'll be fine."
"Daddy I need to tell you something. I need you to please be okay with it."
Before she could say anything else she began to violently throw up.
"Caleb!! Caleb!!" Help her please. I love you tater tot."
Caleb carried her away.
I sat and cried. I can't lose her. I can't not her not my baby.
Daryl's POV
"Come on people lets get this show on the road." I said loading the back of the car.
Michonne,Ty,Bob and I we're going to get medicane.
I saw Glenn and Hershal coming towards me. Looking like they maybe arguing.
"Y'all look crazy." They were covered in make shift mask. Have you seen Amara? Need holler at her before I go. Haven't seen her in awhile."
"Daryl, Amara asked us not to tell you, but she's in cell block A she's sick." Glenn said.
I took off towards the cell block. Hershal and Glenn calling after me.
When I got there the door was locked and I couldn't get in. I banged on the door yelling.
"I can't let you in here Daryl."Caleb said.
"I don't give a damn what ye can do ye either let me in there to see Amara or I swear I'll break it down."
"You can't come in. If you want to see her go to visitation if she's able I'll bring her around."
~~~~
"Daryl she's not doing okay I can't bring her."
"Then let me in."
"I can't do that."
"I've been exposed already let me see her please god damn it."
"Shit, cover your face. Don't take it off. Five minutes and your out got it?"
"Ok doc fine. Just let me in."
She looked like she had just showered her hair was soaking wet.
"Daryl? What are you doing you can't be in here."
Her voice sounded so weak and small.
"If ye think I wasn't gona see ye then your crazy."
She half smiled.
"I'm really sick Daryl."
"I know baby but I'm gona go get ye some medicane. Ye just gotta hang on for me ok?"
"I'll try...If I"
"No don't your not going anywhere you hear me?"
"Daryl."
"Don't Amara don't say it. Your gona be fine. Its my turn to save you."
She smiled touching my arm lightly.
"I love ye ok? I'll be back soon."
"Okay...I love you to."
I kissed her forehead and walked out.
I stopped in the hall to collect myself.
I felt a tear slip down my cheek I can't lose her. I'll die without her. I gotta get these meds and quick.
Amara's POV
I'm not sure how long I had been back here or what was going on. All I knew is I was feeling worse and worse. Glenn had been brought in. I tried to help Hershal and Caleb.
"Amara go rest you can't keep wearing yourself out."
"I have to......everything went black.
Rick's POV
"She needs those medicines soon Rick, or she's not going to make it. I have Sasha with her now. I had to bag her."
"Please Hershal you can't let her please."
Daryl's POV
We got the medicane after a few obstacles and were. Trying to evade walkers by using the roof. When bob dropped his bag. Almost getting us and himself killed trying to hold onto it. When i saw there was nothing in his bag but booze I flipped. Ty grabbed my arm.
"The man's made his choice Daryl lets go."Ty said.
"If you take one sip of that before I get this medicine back to Amara and the others. I'll beat your ass into the ground." I said bumping him back.
Things weren't looking good as we made it to the prison. Rick was beside himself Amara wasn't doing well at all. She hadn't been breathing on her own for a few hours now.
They hooked her up on an IV giving her the maximum amount possible. Over the next few days. Rick and I spent most of our time outside the cell block. Along with a few others. On the 3rd day she came to the window to talk to everyone.
By day five she was aloud to leave. I was sitting beside the door dozing off when she came out.
"Hey sleeping beauty."
I jumped up wrapping my arms around her.
"God I've missed you." I kissed her lips.
"I've missed you to."
"Don't ever leave me like that again."
"I'll try my best not to."
"Let's go outside I want some fresh air." I took her hand and we walked out together.
Amara's POV
The sun felt good on my skin. It felt like it had been years not days.
"What happened with the fences."I asked.
"Came down right before we got back.
Your dad and Carl fought off the walkers."
"Is Carl ok?"
"Carl is just fine so is little ass kicker."
I chuckled at his name for Judy.
"I almost told dad about us."
"You did?"
"Mmhm the day I got sick. I started to then I got violently ill and Caleb carried me away."
"Do ye still wana tell him?"
"Yeah I do. Do you?"
"Yea I think we should."
I leaned up kissing his lips.
"I love you Daryl."
"I love ye to."
A loud explosion sounded!
