Before [D.D]

20

*Bash POV*

I pulled my knees into my chest and covered my face,"Momma." I cried.

I've never been alone yet in this world, and now that I am, I can say its scary.

I looked out and seen the monsters trying to get me, and within that crowd I seen a man in giant black suit making there way through the monsters.

"Hey!" The voice yelled, clearly a man.  I forced myself to stand up and look out to him,"C'mon I'll protect ya!"

I opened the gate as he got closer, and I noticed he had a woman with him also. I jumped down, pulling out momma gun that she gave me. I didn't know how to shoot, cause the only time I actually tried I shot momma.

"Bash?!" The man looked shocked,"Go, main gate!"  With that, I took off in full sprint, dodging all the monsters that jumped at me. When I made it to the gate, I stopped and looked back at the man and woman rushing down, stabbing and shooting them as they go.

As I watched them make their way to me, something grabbed my arm making me let out a sharp scream.

One time momma told me death was inevitable, not like I knew what that meant.  I guess it meant that death would come  to us all at a time. Now I knew what it meant, I guess.

I watched the monster begin to open it's mouth and try chomp on my arm. I screamed and attempted to rip my arm out of its cold rotted hands. 

Bang

With that it dropped dead and let go of my arm. I looked at my arm, seeing I was bleeding. Hopefully that isn't mine, and I pulled down my sleeve so they wouldst see.

"You okay bud?" The woman asked, rushing to my side, and as the man made if down I realized it was Glenn.

"Watch out!" One of them yelled, throwing me behind them but I fell to the ground. I looked up to see what was going on, and all I seen was a bunch of monsters mobbing us. I grabbed my bloody arm and stood back up. I took my momma's gun out. I tried to remember what daddy said,'aim, Deep breath, and slowly pull the trigger'. I tried to aim down the top and when I went to shoot I missed. Hearing the gunshot some of the monsters started for me, great.

I pulled the top back again, ready to try again as they got closer. Yet the next shot I missed and cocked the gun yet again. I began to cry and panic. The monsters got closer and closer. The one grabbed my wrist trying to bite at me and I tried to push him away. I took the gun and put it to its head, which was close to me and pulled the trigger, letting the blood splatter all over my face and the noise made my ears ring. I dropped as the other monsters jumped at me, I tried to scream for help but nothing would come out. Tears fell down my face and then everything went dark.

*Carl's POV*

I sat down, playing cards with Raine,"Hey um I know I don't know you or your mom or brother but I want to know you guys. I do know your dad and he's a good guy. He's probably keeping your momma safe right now." She looked up at me, and her eyes started to water.

"What about Bash?" she asked barely audible.

"I bet he's safe like you are right now. I saw your mom give him her gun." I smiled.

There was a long period of silence,"Carl?'

"Yes?"

"Where your mom?" Those words were like a brick hitting glass, shattering.

"She's dead."

"What happened?" I looked into her blue eyes, just like Daryl's.

"I shot her, she was dying after having the baby." My voice cracked,"But that over with now, lets get some sleep." I forced a smile and layed down, wanting to forget the suppressed memories from before the world went to hell of my mother.

*Heathers POV*

I couldn't sleep so I just looked out the window on the upper floor, because those dummies that roamed the streets wouldn't see me. I wish I could just call Vi and see if shes okay, but sadly that can't happen. For all I know she could of died at the prison, no you saw her leave with Daryl. What if she got bit and Daryl had to deal with her? No you'd know..

What about Bash? Hopefully he has someone.

"Heather." Someone pulled me from my thoughts. I turned my head to see Carl.

"Huh?"

"It's time to go." I looked out and see that it was now sunrise.

"Thanks for letting me know, I'll be down in a moment." I patted his head and walked into the bathroom, and looked around.  As I found things I stuffed it into my bag. Brush, toilet paper, pads, blanket, pillow, razor, and soap.

"I'm ready." I sighed, grabbing my bag and throwing the blanket over my shoulder,"Blake, come on." I called and the woof came running, along side Raine.

*Violets POV*

"What if they died?" I sobbed yet again.

"It's fine, I'm sure they are alive." Beth rubbed my back, then Daryl came back inside. He was rocking back and forth, so I knew he was drunk.

"Best stop crying." Daryl snapped.

"What?" Me and Beth said at the same time.

"You heard me! Stop your crying! That's all you ever do anymore." He hissed,"At least you got to know our kids. I just met them and had them ripped away!"

"Daryl!" Beth screamed before I could even open my mouth.

"Huh what little Blondy gonna do? Gonna go ride your pony and run away?"

"Daryl. Stop." I mustered up the strength to stand up and go chest to chest with him,"When we first meant we were at the bar. Remember?" I knew it would stop the situation, or at least have him on a different topic.

He smiled,"Yeah and you threw a hissy fit cause you wanted me and not Merle."

"Yeah, well you were pretty hot back then." I laughed.

"Were?" He yelled, making it even funnier. I fake smiled.

"Go get some sleep Daryl." I mumbled, hugging him and walking over to Beth.

"You handle him well."

"I am his wife after all." I smiled, looking and twisting our wedding ring.
