Riley-The Walking Dead

Chapter 2

My foot ached, it felt as if the muscles in my foot were all tensing up and pulling to a breaking point. I needed to get my mind off of it. Conversation might work.

"So, um can you at least tell me you-"
"No" The man snapped.
My head flinched back at his rude interruption.
"You didn't even know what I was going to say."
"And I don't care." He pushed me forward causing me to groan in pain that reminded me of my messed up foot.
"I need to sit my foot hurts!" I demanded.
He looked me right in the eye and I looked right back.
"For a girl I have hostage you have some guts for making demands I'll give you that?"
"Hostage?!"
But before I even finished Mr. Redneck had grabbed me and thrown me over his shoulder, the shoulder with the dead squirrels. I closed my eyes and tried to stop myself from gaging.

"Okay one quick question."
I heard him sigh at the sound of my voice which made me annoyed at how rude he was.
"Isn't it illegal to hunt squirrels or does that just not apply to dirty ass rednecks like you?" I scoffed.

He snickered.
"Sorry we don't get to eat luxury food like your group."
"We? Group?" I asked confused.
He ignored my question and continued walking.
"Okay put me down." I said frustrated
He again ignored me.
"I said put me down!"
I squirmed trying to get out of his arms but it didn't work. So I did the risky thing and kicked him in the gut causing him to drop me on my side.
"What the hell is your problem I'm trying to help you God dammit!" He yelled in pain.
"Then answer me when I ask you questions!" I said helping myself back up to my feet.
"You want me to come with you fine! But I need to know what's going on, where we're going and anything else I want or need to know."
"You understand."
He turned away from me in a stressful manner.
"You think you can talk to me like that little girl." He snapped spinning around, his finger pointed at my chest and he stood hovering over top of me trying to prove that he was the one with the power in this, he was the one in control.
I stood still not allowing him to intimidate me. Every breath that came from me filled with a uncontrollable rage.
He finally backed up.
"Well what do you want to know. Princess." He spat. Attempting to use insults as a way to make me angry as he realized he could no longer use force or intimidation.
"What is your name?" I said in my most confident voice I could manage.
He rolled his eyes.
"Daryl. Now can we get a move on I don't want to be out here when it's dark."
"That's fine we can walk and talk."
"Okay let's g-"
"After you untie my hands." I said cutting him off.
I could tell he was inches from falling of the edge and hurting me but I needed to stand my ground, no matter how much older this guy was then me or scarier.

He yanked the rope causing it to burn my arms but I ignored it. He began untying in but then stopped.

"I thought you said you were-"
"Shh!" He demanded, but not in a harsh way. He was listening for something. Then suddenly I heard it.
The same growling moan that came from the thing that attacked me earlier, but amplified by 10 times.

Daryl looked at his bow.
"Dammit!" He said swinging it back on his shoulders.
"Run."
I knew this wasn't the time to be questioning him so I did as he said and began running, well, at least attempting to run.

"Daryl it hurts." I cried in pain.

I looked back to see about two dozen more of those things. What are they? No. Riley not right now. You need to get out of here.

Daryl ran back for me and swung me back onto his shoulders, not as forceful as last time.

"How far are we from where we need to go." I asked panicking as the things got closer towards us
"Not too far from here." Daryl panted from running.

I closed my eyes, I was terrified. What is going on. Why are these people doing this? Why do they look dead? I wish I knew what was going on, I wish I knew where I was. I wish my mom was here.
Well I suppose, we don't always get what we wish for do we?

"Open the gates! Get some shooters out here!" Daryl yelled, startling me and causing me to open up my eyes.

I pushed myself up using his shoulder and twisted myself so I could see where we were going.

Sheets of large metal used as a barricade, and a huge door that began opening as we got closer. I heard the sound of a gunshot and I tried to find where the sound was coming from. I saw a small tower where a woman shot at the people chasing us.

As we entered through the gate five middle aged males ran through the door with murderous weapons, guns, machete's, axes and I watched horrified as they slaughtered the people. Things Riley. You have no idea what they are, stop making assumptions.

I ignored my thoughts, these people better have a good explanation for all the things I've seen today, or maybe I've just been brought to the freaking looney bin with a bunch of psychopaths.

Just as the gate closed I watched as one of the "things" became beheaded by a machete. Daryl let me down gently and I began crying and covering my mouth in horror.

I turned around looking at all the people who were now staring at me as if I was the crazy person. Are they okay with murder?!

Almost all these people wore the same type of clothes as me and carried weapons just like the men that ran out the gate. Beyond the gates was an entire town, it looked a lot like the new establishment that was built in my town.

I swallowed hard trying to control my crying.

Daryl patted my back smiling. Why is he smiling?! Oh god. Are they going to kill me?

"Welcome to Alexandria."

Alexandria?
