I know something's wrong. Addison hasn't came out in 3 hours. I swear if that guy did something to her, he's gonna pay for it. They did let me go which is surprising, but I'm not leaving here without Addison.

I've been sitting in this cold,damp and dark cell for 3 hours now. I bet dad's worried sick. As I'm sitting here, I see a piece of paper slip under the door. I slowly pick it up with my cold, pale hand to see that there's a key attached to the note: Addison, I know you have no clue who gave you this key and note, but it's me, Cherie. I just want to help you get out because you don't deserve to be in here. You're just a kid. I also wanted to say good luck out there. You're tough andI know you can beat this world if you try with your real family. Don't loose hope. Love:Cherie.

Cherie is Uncle Dwights, well, Dwights wife. But they aren't together anymore because my dad was going to kill Cherie unless they got together. Cherie had shoulder length light brown, straight, hair and sparkling hazel eyes. She's only ever talked to me about 5 times. I rip the key off the crumpled yellow piece of paper and unlock the door. I sigh in relief because now I know it wasn't a trap. I peek my head out the door to see no one so I put the note and key in my pocket before running to the stairs just in time, since Dwight walks by. He's about to open the door until Negan calls his name. My heart starts racing as I bolt down the stairs and out the front door. I go duck behind a bush to catch my breath. All of a sudden a hand goes over my mouth and I try to scream, but no use. The hand lets go and my eyes widen to see dad. "I didn't want you screamin'" He says while I wrap my arms around him. "Addison, we gotta go." I sigh. "Ok."

Dad and I have been walking for a little while, but we haven't been talking. We stop on a log for a minute to have a drink of water. "Are you ok?" He finally asks. "Ya. I mean, he didn't do anything to me so that's good." He scoffs with a smile and so do I. "Good. Cuz if he did, I would've beat him up." Our heads quickly whip around since we heard a bit of leaves crunching. "Probably just a squirrel." "Ya." After that I stand up with my back facing Daryl. "We should probably-" I was cut off by a gunshot, then a sharp and hot pain to the left of my right shoulder. I collapse to the ground as my vision starts to get blurry. "Dad." I see him rush over to me, tears in his eyes, until he starts fighting someone. Dwight. I start breathing heavily as my vision gets blurry.

That guy is gonna pay for what he just did. We start punching, kicking and tackling each other for 5 minutes until I knock him out. I then rush over to Addison to see her eyes slowly shutting. I keep saying to myself 'don't loose hope' but that's not working.

I lay there as dad kneels down beside my, picking me up bridal style, running towards Alexandria. After about 2 minutes, my sight goes completely black and I'm out like a light.
