Alexandria (not finished :/ )

Chapter 6

(Btw I've decided to leave the names the way they are. I don't feel like changing them :P)

The next day, I try to act like nothing happened. Carl has seemed to have forgotten the whole 'When's the wedding' ordeal. Good. I don't need that popping up any time soon. Anyway, Daryl offered to teach me to use a crossbow, and I've never shot one before, so why not? He grabbed his crossbow from the weapons room and I grabbed my knife then we headed out. We made sure the governor, Diana, was ok with it and she said to Daryl, "Sure! I'm glad you are willing to teach our young ones to fight in this world." So Sasha opened the gates for us and we walked out of our safe haven.

Daryl and I reached a clearing with a couple walkers in it. I grabbed my knife from its hilt. "I got it." I said, my walk turning into a run as I came up to the rotting corpses. I pushed the knife through the first ones soft skull earning a groan from it. This sudden movement and noise alerted the other one, but I didn't notice. I turned around but it was too late, the walker was already right behind me. Daryl had already walked off looking for a target for practice. I turned around and the walker was inches from my face. The putrid rotting smell wafted in my face making me cringe as I screamed for my life. I put my forearm on its neck so it couldn't bite me, but I had dropped my knife. And, this walker had learned. It took my arm in its hands and bit down with extraordinary force. I was screaming at the top of my lungs now, as his yellow teeth ripped the flesh on my arm. Moments later I heard a click and a wizzing noise, and a black arrow lodged itself in the rotten cranium of the monster. I yelled in pain as I looked at my arm. A small chunk was missing but nothing too extreme. But, there was A LOT of blood. Tears streamed down my face as I crumpled to my knees. "(Y/N)!!!!!!" Daryl said as he ran up to my small figure. He took a large knife from his belt and was prepared to cut off my arm. "WAIT!!! Don't cut it off!! I'm immune to bites!!" I yelled concealing my bleeding arm in my shirt. His eyes widened in shock and he said, "WHAT!?!!? YOU'RE WHAT!??!!" He yelled. I flinched slightly. I've never heard Daryl yell before. "I've been bit before! It was like, a year ago!" I lifted up my sleeve on my t-shirt, revealing a large scar. His eyes just stayed wide as he stared in shock at my shoulder. But while he was doing that I was still losing a considerable amount of blood. I felt my head get light and my eyes slowly shut. "I'm going down...." I murmured as I fell down to the ground on my side. "(Y/N)!!!" Yelled Daryl. Everything went black as Daryl picked me up bridal style in his arms, and that's the last thing I remember.
