CHAPTER 5 < shit ton of blood and shit > • no episode • _____________________
SHE SHOT UP out of bed as her slumber was interfered with yet another nightmare..
She searched her room for any danger around, but as always he was nowhere to be seen.
With sweat dripping down her forehead and her hands trembling, she slowly sat up in her bed, the ache in her head had worsened.
She looked to her right, noticing the fresh, tall glass of water and two pills on her bedside table.
Despite telling herself to ask what they were before taking them, she took them.
She was desperate and in agony and would like to believe that Hershel and Beth would never oppose as a real threat to herself, more as new friends.
Her thoughts were intruded by a gentle knock on her rooms door, still startled she stared at it for a moment.
Then whomever it was knocked again.
Believing that it must've been Hershel or Beth, she replied a quick "come in" her voice a symbol of tiredness, not only from just waking up but the sheer pain she felt eveytime she uttered a word.
And then an all too familiar yet such an unfamiliar person entered her room.
Daryl.
It was the man who she vividly remembered rescuing her from the woods, carrying her somewhere as she was in and out of consciousness.
Beth mentioned the name Daryl to her, and she knew she needed to thank him but did not no when nor how.
"Hershel said ya been sleeping all day" the man said, his eyes fixated on the floor as he shut the door behind him.
She immediately took notice to the southern drawl in his tone, and she couldn't deny that he was borderline hot.
"brought ya somethin' to eat" he added gesturing to the tray of food in his hand.
He edged closer to the bed she was on, she subconsciously moved backwards flinching ever so slightly.
Just her luck.
He noticed.
Of course he fucking did Spencer.
"m' sorry" he spoke, his voice note soft this time. "i'll just place this down here for ya" gesturing to the tray once more, as he slowly moves toward her again, placing the tray on the foot of the bed.
"thank you" she said, appreciating his understanding and the food. Of course. "a-and sorry" she added shyly.
"ain't got nothin' to be sorry 'bout" he confirmed.
"well thank you for the food" she added, feeling a wave of awkwardness strike through her body.
She's never really been with a guys before, yes she'd have some fun when she was drunk or high but she could hardly remember those events, let alone knowing the guys' names.
"and thanks for saving my ass" she added, turning to pick up the tray, taking a small bite of an apple.
"looked like ya needed help, ain't no need to thank me for it though" he concluded
Why couldn't he just say a simple 'your welcome'
"what happened?" he continued, she gave him a look of confusion unsure on what he was asking her.
"in the woods, ya were hurt real bad.. covered in a shit ton of blood and.. shit" he said, looking at her, she knew that this man wasn't going to harm her, she knew that he must be one of the good ones.. but still she had her lingering doubts. "was the blood all yours?" he shifted from foot to foot, seeming almost uncomfortable to be having a conversation with me.
Nothing new.
"oh.. i don't know just crossed paths with some assholes" she said quietly "they thought they could have their way with me" she paused for a brief moment, unable to meet his eyes. "showed them otherwise" she said, her voice hardly above a whisper. But she knew that he heard her loud and clear.
"good, hope those sumbitches got what they deserved" he added, a flash of rage shot through his eyes for a split second, and she couldn't help but wonder, why? "never got ya name" he continued, playing with the strap of the bow that was hooked over his shoulder.
"oh shit yeah, it's spencer" she chuckled slightly, how could someone be so stupid and forget to mention their own name. "your Daryl, right?" she asked.
"yeah" he replied "see ya around" before she could say anything, he turned for the door and left.
