The Dixons Rises

Chapter 15

Atlanta

*April's P.O.V*

We started walking into the woods not really knowing where to go. But it's nice to know that the family is back together again.

A scream was heard and we all ran toward the sound. There is a man surrounded by walkers. I aimed my crossbow at one that got really close to the man.

The rest killed the walkers as I pulled my arrow out of the walker's skull.

I heard Rick talking to the man who introduced himself as 'Father Gabriel'. He said that he have a church. He leads the way and I notice a cemetery as the church appeared.

We all went inside and I sat down on one of the seat. The others try to secure the place and I felt tired so I fell asleep.

***

I heard chaos so I shot my eyes open and saw trolley full of food. My eyes sparkled and hurried toward it.

"Grab what you want," Rick said and I nodded.

I saw a chocolate bar and grabbed it as I unwrapped it and bit.

"Pass me one?" Ella asked as I break two bars and handed it to Ella.

"I said one not two," she stated.

"Just try it," I smirked. She bit into one bar and closed her eyes.

"God, this is good!" she moaned. I laughed as I finished my piece.

"Ella," Carl called. Ella excused herself as she went to Carl.

Just then Blake came from behind me, "Blake, how long do you think these food would last?" I asked.

"Probably two days," he said and I grinned.

I looked up to the sky and it was getting dark, Blake grabbed my hand as we walked inside the church.

I sat cross-legged on the floor as Blake handed me a can of beef. I opened it and start to munch on my food.

After I was done I stood up, "I'm getting some fresh air," I informed.

I grabbed my crossbow just to be secure.

I walked outside and spotted Daryl, "Whatcha doin'?" I asked and he turned around to look at me.

"Not really sure," he said.

"Um can I ask you something?" he nodded as I look around.

"After the prison broke down, where did you go and were you alone?" I asked.

He shrugged, "I went into the woods and I was with Beth but she got kidnapped and I found a group of men, they were uh capturing Rick, Carl, and Ella," he explained, "And then we went to Terminus,"

I nodded as Carol appeared, "Hey," she said and I smiled in return.

Daryl and Carol was talking until our attention focused on a car, Daryl started running so me and Carol followed him.

"Daryl! What are you thinking?" I asked as we got in a car.

"They kidnapped Beth," Daryl replied as the car started to move fast.

Well shit all I bring is my crossbow and pocket knife. The good part is my arrows are still twenty eight.

"Well when we stop wake me up," I told them as I soon fell asleep.

***

I opened my eyes and look at my surroundings. We were in a small building.

"Where are we?" I asked at Carol and Daryl who were talking while sitting.

They both didn't reply and from the look on Carol's face I knew it was something private.

"So what city are we in?" I asked.

"Atlanta," Daryl said and my eyes grew widen.

"Oh shit," I muttered.

"Well let's not waste any more time," Carol said as we all stood up and walked outside.

I tried to keep a distance because I honestly felt like a third wheel.

We stopped and Daryl checked for walkers. He threw something and caused the walkers' attention toward there. We started running inside the building.

There were wrapped up walkers and some inside a tent. I frowned at the horrible smell.

Daryl and Carol talk again, and I kinda wished I didn't follow them here. After they were done we walked outside, Carol first.

"Guys don't," she said when I was halfway outside the door.

"Put down your weapons," a teenage guy said.

We did what he said as he took our weapons, "You guys seemed tough," he ripped the tent and walkers came at us.

I ran passed the walkers as I reached the guy. I manage to grab my crossbow as he escaped.

He ran to the door and I was an inch from it before he slammed and locked it, "YOU BETTER FUCKING OPEN THIS DOOR!" I yelled.

Carol tapped my shoulder and smiled, "Let's find another way," she said.

We walked somewhere and this time I lead. It was a skybridge now that I realized as there is an ambulance car, well used.

I stepped inside and check around just as I peeked to the window I gasped, "A herd," I muttered.

We ran outside but was blocked, then we went back inside as I closed the door tightly.

"April hang on tight!" Daryl yelled.

If I die, please let Ella and Blake make it. Then the car slung forward as now my hands reaching out at whatever it is I found.

I screamed as I was whirling around then we bumped. My knees wobbled and I can't balance myself as I fell down.

"Phew," I said and tried to stood up but fell back down. I felt something sharp in my leg and one of my arrows got into my skin.

"You're lucky we're in an ambulance car," Carol said and I chuckled.

"No need for that," I replied as I pull out my arrow and wiped the blood as I grabbed a bandage and wrapped it around my leg.

Then after that the walkers fell down from the sky as we got out. I knew something was odd with Carol.

"You okay?" I asked and she smiled as she nodded.

We kept walking and got inside a building as I searched around and saw a walker with an arrow in its skull. Daryl pulled it out and we keep walking.

I looked to see the same guy trying to hold a wardrobe. Then he fell down and stuck under it as the walker stepped forward.

I ran and tried to pick it up, "April leave him be," Daryl said.

"No! He's still a human, and I still have my sane," I stated but Daryl ignored as he walked somewhere.

"Daryl!" Carol called.

He turned around, "You both nearly died because of him!" he screamed.

"But we didn't," Carol replied.

Then an arrow sulk into the walker's brain. I sighed in relief, a good thing is that my brother still have humanity. Not sure how much though.

The guy stood up and heads toward the window and muttered stuff.

"If they found me," I heard him mumbled.

"Who are they?" Daryl asked holding back the guy.

"The- the people at the hospital," the guy stuttered.

"Is there a blonde girl in there?" he asked again.

"Beth?" then I turned toward the guy.

"You know her?" I stated.

"Y-yeah, she helped me get out but she's still in there," he explained.

We all ran and approached the front door, Carol was helping me from my right but then I got hit from my side as I rolled.

Shit who are we dealing now.
