Crossbow and Knives

Bed time.

|| Just a warning, there will be heavy swearing in the begining of this chapter. More than the last. XD

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daryl was out cold. No sign of waking up in any way. The only thing that Nicole resorted too was dragging Daryl back and the only thing heard from miles around the woods was...

"GOD DAMN HOW HEAVY ARE YOU?!
GO ON A DAMN DIET DARYL.
WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING WAKE UP?
I'M LITERALLY YELLING AT YOU ASSHOLE!
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE SO FUCKING HEAVY!
GOD DAMN!
DEAR BUDDHA I HOPE I GET GOOD FUCKING KARMA.
AAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.
HOLY FUUUUUUCK!"

Then they were finally at the cabin.

"How on earth are you still asleep?"

He had no signs of wounds, no strangle marks, nothing. She even checked for injection bumps around Daryl's neck. She had no idea. Well... she had part of an idea. She knew that Daryl hadn't been sleeping much since Beth's death. It was like something kept him from sleeping. Whatever it was, it's probably why he's still out cold. Nicole got Daryl into the house through the "magical" back door; that happened to have appeared right after Nicole busted out a window screen. She continued to drag him into the first bedroom and took her time pulling, pushing and groaning, Daryl up on the bed. Once he was fully on the bed, she locked and blocked every door and window she could. Grabbing the walkie talkie she paged Carol. "Hey... something happened to Daryl- he's passed out but he's safe, he's not hurt or anything. We found a safe cabin. We are probably going to stay for the night here if Daryl doesn't wake soon."

"You better explain what happened when you get back... I have some bad news."

"What is it?" 'No more bad news this isn't what Daryl needs more of...'

"Tyreese is dead."

Ty? Nicole was silent. "I-" she didn't know what to say really.

"Just get back safe, okay?"

"Yea. Alright."

Nicole set down the walkie talkie and looked at Daryl. Whom is still laying sound asleep. She sighed and went to the kitchen to start packing all the food into the camping bag. Finishing with that she lifted a small cloth she used to cover the kitchen window to check outside. There were a few approaching walkers. They all heard her screams of swears. Lowering the cloth she double checked the back door and she checked the front door. Also looking out in front of the cabin it was the same as the back. Approaching walkers. She headed to the bedrooms, passing the first room where Daryl is then stopping midway to the next room. She heard some noises from the bedroom. Pulling out one of her dueling knives she slowly stepped backwards to the room. Looking inside she saw Daryl shift around in the bed from a nightmare. Lowering her weapon she put it back and walked into the room. This is a new sight to see. It made her feel bad watching him. Then he started to grumble.

"B-th"

Beth? He's saying Beth?

Nicole silently sighed and took her belt and the plaid shirt from around her waist off, setting them on the floor and slowly getting onto the bed. Turning to her side she thought. 'I'll calm him down and sleep in the other room.' No problem. She gently put her arm on his shoulder.

"Daryl, it's alright."

After she said that, Daryl turned his body and warpped his arms around her like a scared child. His head hiding between her breast and chin. Nicole's eyes widened and slowly moved her arms around his shoulders. Rubbing his back to help calm him down. His hands grabbing her shirt in fists.

"Nothin's gonna hurt you Daryl. Everything's okay. Shhh. I'm here for you..."

She continued her soft words for about ten more minutes. There was a light noise of tapping against the front door from the walkers. She didn't want to make any more noise to catch their attention. She silently layed there and glanced down at Daryl. He was much calmer now. His fists relaxed and released her shirt, his breathing and movement stable. He also looked pretty cute asleep. A smile formed om her face as she relaxed in the bed. The position they are in comforted Daryl more then Nicole, but she was used to it. Her eyes closed for just a moment and she quickly fell asleep.

Hours past and night rose and fell. The morning sun began to rise and shine into the room. Daryl shifted some as he woke up. His eyes opened and quickly raised to see Nicole there, asleep. He pulled back and looked at her. She looked... really cute asleep. Suddenly he felt her shifting on the bed and he shut his eyes.

Nicole softly groaned as she woke up. She glanced down at Daryl and smiled. Good he's still asleep. Slowly she moved out of bed, trying not to wake Daryl up. Prior to walking out of the room she grabbed her belt of knives; then stretched around some, groaning softly in case there were still walkers near the cabin after leaving the room. She checked outside the kitchen window. There were only two walkers, one close to the house and the other by the woods. Then she checked in front of the house and there were a few more walkers. Nothing Crossbow and Knives can't deal with. In the living room Nicole sat down on a couch and grabbed the walkie talkie and paged for Carol.

"Carol?"

"It's Michonne. What's up."

"Daryl's still asleep, I just woke up when he does we'll head back. Is everything okay there?"

"Yea, Sasha's torn up but nothing else."

"Michonne..."

"Yea, Nic?"

"Are you alone? I want to talk about what happened... the two people that attacked Daryl."

"I'm alone, everyone else is still asleep."

"Okay... they were two dudes, and they had W's on their foreheads. Like... it was peirced into their heads. They had pistols but neither were loaded, they also had one knife but both knives weren't sharpened. It wouldn't be affective to fight with. I think they have a group near."

"Think?"

"After I saw them take Daryl into the woods I followed them. They were talking about a pack and that they might mark him or something... I don't think they're a friendly group. Can you just tell Rick about them? I don't want everyone to worry."

"Yea, I'll let him know."

"Thanks."

"No problem, see you and Daryl later."

Nicole set the walkie talkie down and she soon heard footsteps. Turning around on the couch she looked up at Daryl rubbing his eyes. "Hey. Did you sleep well?" She asked, smiling as if she didn't sleep with him.

"Fine... what happened?"

"Two dudes attacked you and dragged you into the woods, I had to drag you back and get you in bed. They really knocked you out."

Daryl frowned. 'That's what happened?' "Thanks."

"No problem, do you want something to eat? I told Michonne that once you woke up we'll head back."

He didn't reply and just grabbed his crossbow from a loveseat in the room. Then he went inti the kitchen and grabbed the camping bag full of food and put it on his back. Having his crossbow in front of him. Daryl went back into the room and Nicole was just staring at him. "Wha'?"

"Ya' sure ya' want to carry all of that?"

He nodded and Nicole unwilling accepted that.

"I'm gonna pack the stuff I found in the bedrooms real quick." She said as she got up and headed back to the bedrooms quickly. Taking a pillowcase off of one of the pillows in the first bedroom; she used it as a bag to carry the shirt she found for Daryl, soap bars, bandaids, and two bottles of rubbing alcohol. She tied the pillowcase closed with a hair band and putting a few on her arm. Going back to the living room. She pulled the pillowcase over her left shoulder. "Ready when you are."
