NIGHTMARES AND BAD FISH

Alexias Pov

"Mommy, are you okay?" I asked her.

"yes baby, I'm fine. Don't you worry ill be with grandma in heaven." she replied. A tear ran down her face and dripped onto my forehead as my head was placed onto her chest.

"my beautiful baby, I l-love y-you." she managed to get out.

"Mommy, i l-love you t-too, please d-don't go yet," I choked out.

She smiled weakly, "d-daddy will b-be here soon, if he doesn't m-make it on time, make sure to t-tell him he's the one. He'll always b-be the one f-for me. And that I w-will always l-love you b-both."

And that's when I heard the noise. No beeping, just a flat noise. Flat. She had flatlined. S-she... Died.

My eyes fluttered open, a tear ran down the side of my face. I love you mom.

I hear footsteps come into the room i was in, but I don't look to see who it is.

"hey, are you okay? You took a pretty big hit to the head."

Glenn.

"haha yeah, its not everyday you get knocked out,"I smiled up at him.

His laughter ended abruptly as he all of a sudden looked confused, "Were you crying?" he asks.

I scratched the back of my neck, "Uh yeah, it was just a dream. About my mom, don't worry about it," I replied, even though deep down I knew that he knew i wasn't okay.

"Well, when you wanna join us we're sat around the fire," I smiled and nodded.

Getting out of Dales RV, I was greeted with sounds of laughter and the crackle of the fire. Not to mention the smell of burning fish, I wouldn't be surprised if Shane was cooking again.

"Look who woke up from their slumber," laughs Amy, who walked up to me and gave me a side hug.

"Yep, and hungry for Shanes... Burnt food," I chuckled. I sat between Glenn and Shane.

Shane put a hand to his heart, looking hurt, "I'll tell you I think my food is a delicacy thank you very much," he tried to hide his laughter.

"Yes. To the starving people who have lost their taste buds, and have no sense of smell," I said grimacing at what was being put on my plate. Everyone laughed at what was being said, my eyes travelled up to across me, only to capture the ocean blue ones staring back at me.

I looked away and put my empty plate down as I went to the woods to do my business. Ed decided to hole up in the RV bathroom - cue the dramatic eyeroll. Carol and Sophia deserve so much better then him.

I was on my way walking back, when I bumped into someone. "Sorry, my bad," not really seeing who it was they grabbed my arm stopping me in my tracks. "Hey!" I exclaim, slightly turning to them.

"Are you okay?" It was Sherriff. "There was a lot of blood coming from your head, its a good thing I carried you to the truck quick enough." Wait, he carried me?

I faced him completely, I smiled " Yeah, I'm fine now. Just a little headache that's all, thanks for carrying me," I chuckled. He nodded, grinning.

"Goodnight Lexi,"

"Night Rick,"

I strolled back to the fire and took my place next to Glenn.

"You took a while, did you struggle to find your way back?" He asked.

"I was talking to Rick, he asked about my head. Speaking of, where's Dixon?" My eyebrows crunched together.

Glenn had a look of guilt in his eyes, "Rick may have handcuffed him to the roof and we may have also left him there. But... Also T-Dog may have lost the key down a pipe and now there's walkers at the door of the roof trynna eat him," he rambled.

"Oh, how did Daryl take it?"

"Not very well, he went back into the woods and is God knows where now. He demanded that a few of us go out in the morning to search for him,"

"Gosh, who offered to go?"

"Rick, T-Dog and me,"

"I'll go too, you need more people in case shit goes down," I explained.

Glenn agreed, knowing that it was probably the best idea.

"Are you sure thats a good idea? You got your head hit pretty hard," Shane perked up next to me.

"I'm feeling much better, besides, Daryl trusts me. I'd rather make sure he doesn't try to kill Rick or T-Dog."

"Lex is right, this does taste really really bad," now it was Glenn pullung a face because of Shanes cooking.

Laughter was thrown around the fire, everyone agreeing. It was nights like these i wish could happen more often than not.
