New Beginings [6]

Beth Greene POV

I opened my eyes to find a ray of sun shooting through the tent and reflecting onto Daryl's skin. The light brought out his pale blue eyes. I leaned over and lightly kissed him on the forehead, then quietly left the tent.

The air was crisp and cool and the sun lightly poked through the hazy fog the surrounded the sky. It was beautiful, for months the weather was humid or dry.

I looked around a saw Rick was out side too.

"Hey Rick! It so nice out, hasn't been like this in forever!" I said enthusiastically.

"Ya, it sure is" He spoke turning to me with a smile on his face.

"I think I might take a stroll in the woods, and by stroll I mean hopefully find a water source and not find a giant pack of flesh eating creatures!"

He chuckled, and I grabbed the pistol that was laying outside my tent.

I started walk through the dense woods we were surrounded by. A loud crunch was followed by every move I made. It was beginning to be winter and all the autumn leaves that were so bright and beautiful started to die off and fall.

I started to hear the crunch further down in the woods, followed by the mumble the walkers gave off. I pulled out my knife and followed the sound.

I saw it in the distance. It's bloodshot eyes and decaying skin directed towards me. It started to pick up pace, with the slight energy it possessed. As soon as it got close, I pushed my knife through its head. I felt like I hadn't killed a walker in forever. Life was quite peaceful not having to worry about them, but now that I had seen and killed one again, I was reminded that life is anything but peaceful.

I continued to walk further, but was soon interrupted by a scream. I started to run back to the group, I tripped over a stump and went flying forward. I looked down at my skinned knees, blood starting to seep out of them.

I picked my self up and kept running. I finally found my self back at the group. I instantly felt tears forming in my eyes. Glen, Maggie and Rick crowed around a large body. There was blood everywhere and a dead walker laying next to them. I knew what happened before I even saw the body. Some body was bit.

I started to creep up behind them to reveal who was the innocent victim.

As I moved closer, I could see more people leaving their tents and standing in shock.

Finally I reached the corpse..
