Hidden Truama

    As Shane pulled Mary back over to where Daryl was; he heard his name being yelling by Lori.

    "Wait here for one second." Shane says looking back and forth between the child and man before running off.

    Mary looked at Daryl who was obvious pissed he has to watch her. All is quiet until Shane comes running up to them both with a sort of sad look in his eye.

    "I..um..we cant go with Daryl this time Mary." Shane says as he gets down to eye level.

    Marylin was use to the disappointment so she just nodded and started walking back to camp.

    "Hold up a second." Daryl says. "I believe we promised this kid a hunt. And thats what we're giving her."

    "I cant come with Lori needs my help."Shane argues.

    "And I'm a grown up." Daryl said in an offended tone.

    "No she isn't going without me. I need to keep her safe."

    "I do believe I have proven time and time again that i can keep others safe Shane."

    Shane turns to Mary who was staring right back at him with a pleading look. He sighs as he presses his fingers against the bridge of his nose.

    "Fine..just.. bring her back to camp safe and sound." Shane said.

    Mary hugs at Shane's torso before running over to Daryl's side.

    "Let's go kid." Daryl says as he starts walking into the woods.

    Mary waves before quickly following behind Daryl.

    "So what's with the buzz cut buzz light year?" Daryl says.

    Mary looks at the man before using her powers to have a tree slap him across the face.

    "Fuck!"

    Mary kept her laughter in before answering his question.

    "I had bad parents."

    "Yeah, i always thought shane was a shitty dad."

    "Not Shane. He's my uncle. My parents are dead."

    Daryl turns to the girl and looks her up and down as her body remains stiff.

    "Abusive?"

    "In a way.."

    "What kind of way?"

    "A bad way.." Mary snaps as she looks down.

    Daryl turns to the obviously upset child and nudges her shoulder.

    "Let's go we're burning daylight kid."

    Mary nods before quickening her pace alongside the tall greasy man. She knew she shouldn't have snapped, but the mere thought of those people terrifies her. It feels as if the world starts to spiral and she being dragged back into those medical chairs. She can still feel the electricity they shocked her with everyday burning its way though her body. Mary feels safer now because of Shane but the trauma she received will always be trapped in her mind. Playing like an old vinyl record over and over again. Shane knew about her troubles. He even brought her to therapy to somewhat help. It didn't...

    "Alright kid, stay low.." Daryl whispers.

    Mary gets low to the ground and stays close to Daryl. When she looks up she sees a deer, but something didn't seem right. Mary slowly leaned in. As Daryl raises his crossbow the deer collapses. Daryls head tilts in confusion as he stands. Mary acts faster than Daryl and darts to the deer. When she reaches the deer she sees the heart on the ground. Mary looks at Daryl with a confused look which Daryl stares back with the same exact look.

    "Mary..." a voice says behind her.

    Mary quickly turns to see a familiar face. A young boy from the lab named Peter.

    "Peter?" Mary whispered.

    Peter quickly runs to Marylin wrapping his arms around her. Mary was so confused, last time she saw Peter was in Hawkins Lab back in Indiana.

    "I was so scared." The boys whispered.

    Mary turned to Daryl who looked completely lost.

    "he's my friend.. i knew him in Hawkins." She says.

    Daryl shakes his head before bending down in front of the deer to skin it.

    "you kids wanna learn how to skin a deer?" Daryl asks.

    Both the kids faces go white and they go sit by a tree.

                        ____________

    When i saw the young boy from my past i was flooded with so many emotions. I felt my breath catch in my throat as I remembered my only friend. I thought he had died after the apocalypse started. Shane had showed me a news report of a slaughter there, it said that everyone was killed. I remember uncle Shane comforting me as i cried. Peter and i were the first kids in Hawkins Lab. We were inseparable. Dr. Brenner had to force us apart in order for us to do our training.

I was broken from my train of thought when Peter ran into me wrapping his arms tightly around me. He smelled like sweat which was so funny because he always smelled like fresh laundry. Peter was the cleanest kid i knew, so i had to hold back my laughter.

I could tell Daryl was confused because i could feel his eyes in the back of my head. When i turned to him i saw i was right. He was completely lost.

After Daryl offered to show us how to skin the deer me and Peter quickly walked away. We sat under a tree a few feet from Daryl for safety purposes. Once we sat down though Peter started asking questions.

"What happened to you."

I merely stared for a second a bit confused.

"What do you mean?"

"One day you were at the lab the next you were gone."  Peter said with a sad look in his eyes.

"Oh.." i said looking down. "A sherif named Hopper came by and told the lab my parents had passed. It was under law that they had to give me to him. After i went with him my uncle was waiting at the station."

Peter placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Im just glad to have my friend back." He said softly.

We both smiled at each other before we pulled each other into another into another hug. We kept hugging until Daryl pulled us apart.

"Alright you two lets get to camp I didn't sign up to babysit two of you."

I smiled trying to hold in my laughter. I moved over to Peter to tell him a joke when Daryl pulled me away.

"Six feet."

I rolled my eyes before continuing walking.
